Query: Will
of God... Nothing happens without the will of god. Can we really use our Free will? Do we actually have a
choice or are we merely puppets in the hands of nature? If man is bounds by his karmas does he really have a
choice?
Vijay Kumar:
As long as human beings believe destiny of mankind rests with God
Almighty... we do not perform our karma as it was meant to be! The doctrine of karma... the law of karma is
absolutely clear... as we sow so shall we reap... nothing less or more! We simply cannot expect mangoes to
grow on a guava tree.
Gone are the days of rituals... the time of Vedas when rituals played
very important role! In the present it is spirituality that plays the dominant role! Mounted with the power
of spirituality... the power of spirit... our soul atman within that seems to exist within our heart... every
human being scales the chosen frontiers of life!
No human being is ever controlled by anything! Every single human being
has been imbibed with five senses and the mind to smoothen the path of life... the journey of cosmic life! In
absence of the five senses and the mind... life simply could not exist in the cosmic world. It is dominating
our ego... human beings crossover the hidden barriers of life!
Why blame others for our tragedy... our inaction! As per the Sacred
Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... no single soul atman can ever be affected by the workings of another soul atman.
In the circumstances... every single soul atman is independent of everything else in the cosmic
system!
As the human form has been manifested by the soul atman within... the
human body also is independent to exercise ones free will... the power of our soul atman within! What exactly
is free will... our free will is the power of our soul atman that seems to reside within our
heart.
Following the power of my free will... I finally realized God in 1993! By traveling the path of absolute
truthfulness... all human beings can hear the sweet small inner voice of our soul atman. The voice of our soul
atman always guides us on the right path. Whether we hear the voice of our soul atman or suppress it by the
dictates of our bloated ego is the sole prerogative of every individual human being.
Almost 99.99% people let their bloated ego dominate their life. With
passage of time... the promptings of our soul atman coming from our heart stop! All the cosmic powers that
be... are available to mankind inherently... but how many human beings truly exercise such powers for the
benefit of mankind?
Dominated by the promptings of my soul atman within... the spiritual
path... the uncharted spiritual journey became an obsession. Within present life itself I wanted to see and
meet God. 25 years of Yoga meditation... I finally reached the end goal of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth
manifestation... the last in the cosmic life cycle!
We the commoner... the ordinary mortal thinks God Almighty to be the end of all. True... God Almighty is the only
truth of life... rest all is the work of Maya (veil of ignorance)! But our existence as a human being is also a
truth of life. Our soul atman has manifested the present human form to work out its karma... remove the dross
impurities within!
Unless every human being acts... how can our soul atman within reach its
goal of life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! Every single soul atman is God Almighty in minuscule form
present within our heart. The entire... the complete power of the Cosmos is already present within every
living being... in the circumstances... can we still keep waiting!
God Almighty always acts as a Dhrista (onlooker)... never interfering
with the creation of his! The whole Cosmos is governed by the doctrine of karma... as we act... so shall be
our future! To gain something in life... we need to enact karma accordingly! At times we observe that the
fruits of our karma do not become available to us in spite of indulging in positive karma all the
time.
What if we have a negative residual balance of karma from previous manifestations? Whatever positive karma we enact
in present life is utilized in neutralizing the bad effects of negative karma from previous manifestations! The
moment the negative karma from previous manifestations totally neutralizes... it is a happy journey ahead for the
manifested form... the form of a human being!
It becomes imperative for every individual human being to indulge in
positive karma (Punya karma) all the time! Only then can we expect experiencing happiness most of the time.
Karma is not a physical entity... the major share of karma is performed mentally. Even in our thoughts we
cannot kill one... for the physical injury if we are awarded minus hundred marks... it is quite possible for
the negative thought injury we get minus five marks!
It is this accumulation of fruits of negative karma (enacted in our
thoughts most of the time) that results in our suffering most of the time! The crux of karma lay in our
thoughts. Every successful human being never thinks negative. By maintaining a sunny disposition... invoking
positive thoughts all the time; most human beings can attain any goal of life... come whatever
may!
No human being is ever bound by the karma. It is our inner nature... to cleanse itself of the dross impurities
within... our soul atman having manifested the human form! The value of human life... the essence of human life is
limited to our performing karma in the best possible manner! Enacting positive karma all the time is that mantra
for success in life... following which even in the present Kali Yuga... the metal age... one can reach the stage of
enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha).
May God bless you in understanding the much-needed requisites of
life!
