SPIRITUALITY AND SPIRITUAL LAWS
– Some of the spiritual laws are mentioned below :
1. God is present everywhere. He watches whatever we do mentally or physically and gives us fruits, accordingly.
2. God’s knowledge is now enshrined in books named ऋग्वेद, यजुर्वेद, अथर्ववेद and सामवेद. Without imbibing the knowledge of Vedaas, we can not attain our ultimate goal, which is, मुक्ति, that is, freedom from the bondage of birth and death.
3. God is the creator and destroyer of this universe. Without knowing Him CORRECTLY we cannot develop.
4. Without TRUTH we can do no good to our self, family, society, nation and world.
5. There are definite ways of dealing or behaving with other living and non-living objects, for example, the ways of behaving of a brother, mother, father, teacher, peasant, student, doctor, engineer, Govt. or private servant, king et cetera and the ways of earning money and its usage et cetera. Firstly, our behaviour, while, dealing with other living and non-living objects should be RIGHT. Only then, we can proceed towards God.
6. Soul, like God, remains forever or never dies but it has characteristics different from God. God provides bodies to souls. Possession of body by souls is called birth and whosoever takes birth, dies. God does not need any body to perform His tasks.
– Physical Laws and Spiritual Laws are supplementary to each other. As प्राण or Breathing gives life to the body, likewise, Spiritual Laws make the Physical Laws meaningful. They both are meaningless without each other. Behaviour and dharam cannot be differentiated.
-Everything of this world except independence of soul to act is pre-defined and cannot be changed. To explain, no one can change the systems created by God. For example, ears have been created or made for the purpose of enabling souls to hear the outward sounds. There are specific patterns of behaviour of natural elements which are called natural laws. No person can change these systems created by God. Likewise, there are specific method by which man can fulfill his duties towards his family, society, nation et cetera, which can be called spiritual laws, for example, sin is always punished with misery et cetera. When, we cannot change the systems created by God, then, we must bow down and worship Him. स्तुति, प्रार्थना and उपासना are the three ways of doing worship of God. His worship gives us the potential to stick to His directions in all worldly situations.
