[Ravishankar.G]

Dear All,

 

Good Morning to all and have a divine blessed day ahead....

 

Question: As per Hinduism, we take birth in this world due to our Karma (Deeds or misdeeds in our previous generation) So many deaths occur due to natural calamities where thousands of human lives are taken away. Man made calamities on account of bomb blasts also take away precious human lives. What is the sin or the Karma these human beings have committed whose lives have been plucked by the Almighty in few seconds of such calamities?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

It is true that we take birth according to the karmas of the past births. Regarding the lives lost, it is not possible to find out the karma of each and every person and account for the same. But one thing can be said for certain. God is perfect. An imperfection cannot come from the perfect.

-----------------------------------

Question: Swamiji, you have said, “God is perfect. An imperfection cannot come from the perfect." All of us are the creations of the Almighty. Then how come many of us are imperfect in this Kaliyuga as evidenced by the present order of the world in terms of war and violence where most humans are involved in committing grave sins?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

Anything that comes from the perfect cannot be imperfect. That which has come from perfection is also going towards perfection. When we see it en route to perfection, it seems to appear imperfect. That’s all.

 Question: I want to know about my death. What is death? I want to experience my death. I want to be aware of my death.

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

As long as the life-force (‘Prana’) is inside your body, you are said to be alive. The moment that the Prana leaves your body to take another body is called death.

The death of the body is not the real death. Even in medical science, it has been proved that real death is not the death of the body, but the death of the mind.

From a spirituality perspective, real death is when you realize God, or realize the Self within you. That is because, it is only after then that you are not born anymore. Hence that is the real death.

---------------------------------

Question:  The recent attacks to human life have made me feel why God closes His eyes when such calamities occur, that take lives of the innocent. Doesn't it make us all question whether God really existing, if it is so, how come God is not stopping all these miscreants by punishing them then and then, why innocents are punished? Swamiji, please tell us what is the real reason for this. 

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

The sufferings, as per our scriptures, are three-fold – Due to mind / body, due to other embodied beings, due to natural calamities. The creation by design has duality. Good and evil, pain and pleasure.

When people depart from Dharma significantly that imbalance manifests in greater degree as this three fold agony.

God gives you an option, either to play in this created duality or find repose in his lotus feet. If dualities affect you terribly and you do not wish to fight or endure, then surrender to his feet and pray for peace, he shall deliver you from this pain.

------------------------------------------

Question: How is my life?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

If you are good today, the future also will be good to you.
