Lamp of Manifestation: God, Why me?

God, Why me?

I have been discussing critical life events, from spiritual perspective, of a number of persons in person as well as online for the past one decade, and the one question I have always encountered almost from everyone is this - “Why has Lord punished me and let X free while I have done nothing wrong and [unprintable bad word] X has done everything wrong? Is Lord really existing or not?” People used to paraphrase this question in the context of their own life, but essence of the question is the same. Let me explain in this article why it happens so here on this planet that is perfectly ruled by the just yet merciful Lord of this universe.

The visible material universe we normally see is pervaded, supported and controlled by the invisible universal Consciousness of God. You are not able to see the latter because your eyes and brain are not sensitized yet to see It. But an enlightened person always sees It right before his eyes. He is very much aware of the whole material universe immersed in universal Consciousness.

A lady X had been married to a gentleman Y for a few years. Then they had serious opinion difference in respect of finance. And they fell out. After a couple of years X found Y having affairs with another woman. Soon X divorced Y who married the woman he flirted with while X remained single.

Now X asks our typical question. I didn’t flirt with any boyfriend. I remained loyal to him. It was that rascal who cheated me. He is living happily now while I’m struggling to meet my monthly expenses. Is this the justice of Lord? Is that Fellow existing or not?

Alright. X has apparently done no moral mistake from the point of view of this material universe. But this material universe has no absolute authority; it depends on the spiritual universe for the judgment. Police department has to obey the judgment of Justice department. And the latter rules that X deserves punishment. Why?

The criterion for judgment of universal Consciousness is simple - if you harbor Negative Energy for a sustained period, you’ll deserve punishment. That’s all. And what is negative energy? Any energy that reinforces individuation of Self is negative. An enlightened person knows, in her spiritual experience, that Malice of heart, Anxiety of mind and Intolerance of body are the roots of Negative Energy.

Now let me question the lady X: did you harbor malice towards Y for a long period, say, a year or two? Were you anxious that Y may leave you for a long period? Couldn’t you tolerate the presence of Y in the residence for a long period? Don’t try to justify your negative energy. I don’t need your explanation for your harboring negative energy. I don’t care for Y. I don’t need to know the activity of Y that caused you to harbor negative energy. Just answer me yes or no. If your answer is yes to all, then you have clearly violated the Law of Consciousness. It’s only a matter of time before you get the punishment.

Worse, X, what are you doing now? Y has married another woman and almost forgot you. But you are still brooding over him continuing to harbor even more negative energy towards him. As per the Law of Consciousness, who deserves punishment in the near future?

Harboring negative energy inside our body, mind and heart attracts far more severe punishment than physical external immoral activities in the court of Consciousness. Why is it so? Because the former individuates our Self much more severely than the latter.

So, X, what should you do now? Admit that you are responsible for Y leaving you. Forget him. Marry a Z. Keeping in mind the Law of Consciousness, see to it that Z never even think of leaving you. If you are not able to shed your negative energy towards Y, learn and use the Consciousness Tools to control your Negative Energy - Direct Consciousness Discrimination, Expanded Consciousness Meditation & Divine Love Yoga that are explained in my book SECRETS OF MANIFESTATION.

Suppose Y is yet to break up with X. Then X still has bright chances of saving her relationship with Y. She can practice the Consciousness Principles that are explained in my book You Can't Leave Me.

Don’t mistake me. I never support the immoral activity of Y. What I want to stress here is that it was the Negative Energy harbored by X that pushed Y away from her.

To sum up, Lord is always just - we just do not know His Law of Consciousness, and so we think He is unjust. Lord is always merciful; for, the purpose of punishment He gives us for violation of His Law of Consciousness is only to bring us back to our Self - we are thinking that we are confined to our body, mind and heart, and we don’t understand that our illusory individuation is only for the purpose of experience. Since an enlightened person knows this fact in her experience, she never questions the existence or governance of Lord of this universe.

Blessed by Baba

It was the spring of 2004. I had gone on a personal visit to Chennai (India). After finishing my personal work I went to the Mylapore temple of Shirdi Sri Sai Baba. I had visited that temple a couple of times earlier.

After worshiping the main deity, I was just strolling around the temple. Then I was casually reading the inscription in a pillar that listed the popular eleven promises of Baba. I knew it already but I was just passing time casually reading it.

Suddenly I heard a voice behind me: "You want this?" I turned around to face a six and a half feet tall well-built man standing near me. I was too startled by the encounter of this rather strange visitor to answer him. But without expecting a reply he thrust a 3"x2" card into my right palm. Lowering my eyes I saw the card in my hand which had those eleven promises printed on its face. I felt I didn't need it. But when I raised my eyes, he had already disappeared in the crowd of devotees.

I wondered why Baba gave it to me through somebody or perhaps He Himself came to do the job. After all I believed in Him and I didn't require any promise of that sort. In fact throughout the previous year I was doing an extensive research in the doctrine of Surrender. I was spending much of my spare time in exploring the works of Sri Ramanuja and His disciples who lived in Srirangam (Trichy, India) for about five centuries. I was yet to get a satisfactory explanation and so my quest continued through 2004.

Therefore, the gift I expected from Baba at that time was to expound the theory and practice of the doctrine of Surrender. And then I flipped the card that was thrust into my palm a few minutes before. I was thrilled to see the picture of the pair of holy Feet of Baba (the one you see here above).

When I came back to Trichy from Chennai I felt I was blessed by Baba. My spiritual progress went at a break-neck speed since then.

In a decade Baba inspired and guided me to get spiritually enlightened.

Quotes of Shirdi Sai Baba

* He who sees Me in all these creatures is My beloved.

* It is My special characteristic that I always look to and provide for the welfare of My devotees.

* Be wherever you like, do whatever you choose, but remember that all what you do is known to me.

* Unless Lord wills it, nobody can do any harm to others.

* Believe Me, though I pass away, My bones in My tomb will give you hope and confidence.

* He who surrenders himself to the Feet of Lord will get free from all troubles and attain bliss.

* Lord runs and helps him who remembers and meditates on Him with love and affection.

* Neither I am God, nor Lord. I am His obedient servant and remember Him often.

* One who carps and cavils at others pierces Me in the heart and injures Me.

* I feel indebted to him who surrenders himself to Me. I shall repay his debt by giving him Salvation.

* Barring your name and form, there exists in you, a sense of Consciousness of Existence – That is Myself.

* See Me inside you as well as in all beings; you will realize all-pervasiveness and oneness with Me.

~ Shirdi Sai Baba

My Quotes

* A person with her Heart bleeding with Malice and her Mind restless with Anxiety and her Body experiencing Intolerance, is all set to manifest unpleasant Events and Circumstances to herself.

* Intolerance, Anxiety and Malice are the roots of Negative Energy packed up in our Body, Mind and Heart and expressed as Words, Thoughts and Desires of Negativity.

* Our internal Negative Energy in the form of Intolerance, Anxiety and Malice stored up in our Body, Mind and Heart, attracts far more severe penalty in the Court of universal Consciousness of God than our external Negative Actions.

* Once Malice, Anxiety and Intolerance occupy and own our Heart, Mind and Body, we’ll have to pay a heavy daily rent to each one of them in terms of Desires, Thoughts and Words of Negativity.

* Malice, Anxiety and Intolerance will kick us out of the flight of Consciousness and ground us into the deep muddy loose soils of our Heart, Mind and Body.

* Our Thoughts, Words and Desires of Negativity are contained when we get rid of Intolerance, Anxiety and Malice.

* When our Heart, Mind and Body get rid of Malice, Anxiety and Intolerance, Peace manifests itself inside and outside.
