GENERAL-TWO

FOLLOW NATURE

The sentence-‘Follow nature’ has been understood very wrongly. Followers of this thought instigate others to stop cooking, to live in natural habitats such as caves et cetra and to stay naked, as use of clothes is considered unnatural by such people. But, this is not the correct way of following nature. Actually, to follow rules behind creation of universe, understanding the real purpose of creation of universe, to feel the importance of our place in the universe and to become eligible to present real xerox copies of this creation are the real meanings of ‘follow nature’.

DRINKING ALCOHOL AND RAPES, QUARRELS ET CETRA ARE CONCOMITANT

Present mind-set is – There should not be any ban over drinking alcohol but there should be no rapes, quarrels et cetra after drinking alcohol.  Rapes, quarrels et cetra are the result of bad habit of drinking alcohol. The two things, that is, drinking alcohol and no rapes, quarrels et cetra cannot coexist.

ADVOCATION IN FAVOUR OF DRINKING WHISKY

There is a general belief that there is no harm in drinking whisky or alcohol, even if it is bad or harmful for the body, provided, one does not create unnecessary hazards for others. The reason of such a belief is another belief that one is independent of doing with his body whatever one may wish. But this belief loses its weight from the fact that we are not free to do with our body the way we like. The law, prevalent in most of the civilised countries of the world, says that- to commit suicide is a crime,. This can be put forth in support of our view that drinking whisky is bad. There is nothing in the body, which we possess on birth and which can be claimed by us to be ours. We have no control over the shape, colour, dimensions, strength of different organs et cetra of our body, though we can change its attributes to a small extent only. For our body, we owe to God, who selected it on the basis of our karmas, to the parents, who gave birth to this body and to the society, which continuously strives to fulfil its various needs. Since, drinking whisky  is harmful for our body, it cannot be held right. It can be justified only if it is taken for the treatment of some specific diseases.

COMMON MYTHS OF TODAY

-Man has evolved from monkey as per theory of evolution propounded by Darwin.

Truth-Darwin’s theory of evolution has been rejected by the modern genetic scientists on the ground that genes of a species never get changed over a period of time. As such, man was produced as man and monkey as monkey in the beginning of life on this Earth.

-Universe was created by itself.

Truth- When we look at a small pin, we say with full conviction that creator of that pin exists or existed once upon a time whether we could see its creator or not and that pin did not come into its being on its own. When such is the outlook in relation to a small pin, say, then how our belief regarding creation of this universe on its own could be true or scientific.

-Aryans were invaders, who pushed Dravids, natives of this land, in southern area and occupied northern region of this country.

Truth- Aryans were not invaders, but natives of this land. Dravids were not a separate community. Such a belief was established among the people by the Britishers, who ruled this country for a long period, in order to justify their invasion. To establish such a belief, they took the help of our education system, which was totally in their control. Such concocted stories regarding invasion of Aryans were included in the curriculum of schools all over the country in the name of scientific observation and experimentation. The writings of the authors mentioning the truth were discarded on the ground of their not being historians.

-God can definitely be seen, provided, we get the help of a real guru.

Truth-Nose is meant for smelling, ears are meant for hearing, eyes are meant for seeing, skin is meant for knowing through touch and tongue is meant for tasting but knowledge about hunger or thirst cannot be had through any of these sense organs. In the same way, for knowing about some of the things, sense organs like nose, ears, eyes, skin and tongue serve no purpose at all. These sense organs can help us in having the knowledge about their subjects only. For example, ‘Roop’ is the subject of eyes et cetra. God is very subtle and is not the subject of any of the sense organs present in the non-eternal body. Knowledge of God can only be experienced by our soul.

GREATNESS OF CREATION

Everything of this world is perfect in itself in all respects. Let’s consider the aspect of health, for instance. The terms ‘health’ and ‘beauty’ are synonyms. Everything, which is healthy is beautiful, too. When it is said that everything of the world is healthy, then a question as to the creation of deformed bodies arises. Certain souls do receive in this world the deformed bodies but those are perfect in the sense of welfare of the respective souls, in the light of their past actions.

WHO IS POOR?

Poor is one, who has the requirement of a thing but cannot have it because of shortage of means, necessary to have that thing. Poor is not one, who does not have requirement of a thing.

WHO IS GREEDY?

Greediness refers to wishing a thing to be had and possessing no means of having that. If a person wants to eat a chocolate and has enough money et cetra to buy that, then this wish of his cannot be termed as greediness by the world.
