Don’t Question the Fundamentals

This world is made up of all kinds of people, theists, atheists, nature lovers, open minded people, closed minded people, etc. The permutations and combinations are too vast to put down on paper, so let me just begin by saying when we study in school, college, university, we are always asked to test the fundamentals scientifically – whether any theory can be proved or not. In fact, all scientific research is based on the systematic collection, interpretation and evaluation of data and that too in a planned manner. Your aim is to prove or disprove the hypothesis which you are trying to establish.

In the material world you question the fundamentals and then believe it when your question is answered scientifically. But the exact opposite is true when it comes to spirituality. I have seen and heard many people question the very existence of God! Which is absolutely fine, you should question and then you should ask yourself – how do I reach God, where do I find Him, etc! The other basic questions which one needs to ask oneself – Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I headed? Once these questions start repeating themselves in your mind then you will embark on the inner journey as a true seeker.

God has no physical form, God cannot be seen, God has to be experienced – God existed in the past, exists today, and will exist in the future – as universal consciousness as divine energy which is continuously flowing, one just has to reach the state to tap into that universal source of energy.

When you play any game do you question the fundamentals. In cricket do you ask the umpire why is the pitch only 22 yards, why are there three stumps at either end and not more, please tell me the answer else I will not play! You don’t! You just play – you are not questioning the fundamentals here, then why do you question the very existence of God? God is not to be seen, only experienced – and you can only do that by embarking on your inner journey through meditation under the guidance of a realised Master! In spirituality you first believe, bow down and then experience. Become humble, compassionate, selfless, egoless by bowing down completely, and once you bow down and are ready to receive the grace of universal consciousness you will definitely start feeling cold vibrations, fragrances, a state of void filled with bliss and inexplicable joy.

To get to that stage we need to believe, accept and then receive the grace with humbleness and gratitude. Never let the ego develop saying ‘I’ am spiritual, ‘I’ feel divine energy, ‘I’ am blissful etc – if you do so, very soon you will lose the state you have attained. Just remember the higher you climb, the greater the distance that you fall with the slightest mistake.
