How to reach God?

Just as a bird flies from one place to another with the help of its wings, so too the soul moves forward on the path of life with Karma and Dharma as its two wings. Just as a bird, through its acquired knowledge and firm faith, reaches its desired destination, so too the soul, through selfless Karma, selfless Dharma, and the wisdom gained through Jnana Yoga, guided by firm faith, reaches its supreme destination, the divine abode of God, through devotion and love.

Summary:

Karma + Dharma = the power to move forward

Knowledge =  the right direction

Faith = firm trust in God

Devotion (The Unspoken Chant)= the ultimate means to reach the destination

From Repetition to Remembrance

(The Unspoken Chant)

[अजपा जप]

At first I whisper, soft and slow,

Each sacred sound I come to know.

With steady will and focused mind,

I trace each word, no drift I find.

Then something shifts; I’m less in control,

The chant repeats deep in the soul.

No effort now, it flows with ease,

Like silent wind through forest trees.

At last, the sense of doer fades,

Pure awareness gently pervades.

No voice, no thought to shape or guide,

The mantra hums from deep inside.

Signs of Attaining God.

There are some common signs of attaining God, which may vary according to different religions and spiritual paths. However, some general signs are given below:

When one attains God:-

1.Simply uttering the Lord’s name brings forth tears, a choked voice, and a body overwhelmed with ecstatic emotions. 

2.Ego will dissolve. Unbroken peace and bliss will be experienced.

3."You will experience boundless love and compassion. Meditating and reflecting in God's refuge will bring tears to your eyes.

4.The contemplation and reflection on God will be intense; as a result, absent-mindedness will occur. Freedom from worldly attachments (Maya-Moha) will occur.

5.Elevated consciousness and equanimity will develop.

The ability to accept everything, happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat, gain and loss, with a balanced mind will arise.

6.Self-realization and direct experience of God will happen.

A person who attains God does not merely believe but directly experiences the presence of the Divine.

स्वप्न प्रायः मिथ्या होते हैं, प्रमाण से ही वे सत्य बनते हैं।

7.Desires and sensual cravings will vanish.

Physical and sensory desires gradually diminish, and the consciousness becomes solely God-centered.

8.A divine light, knowledge, or the presence of God will be felt within.

9.Unconditional devotion and surrender will intensify.

This feeling will become so overwhelming that the person may no longer be able to perform rituals or chant mantras, as tears of divine love will flow from their eyes.

10.Their soul will spontaneously chant God's name (Ajapa Japa), and they will witness God with their own eyes.

अनुभूति प्रायः स्वप्नसदृश्य मानी जाती है।

Through love, devotion, spiritual practice, and the pursuit of truth, anyone can reach this state. However, it is a very difficult journey, and without God's grace, it is almost impossible. "Please do not imitate the signs of attaining God mentioned above; simply recognize and match them. Imitating these signs may lead one into illusion and trouble.

Knowledge Through Poetry (Especially in Sanskrit)

Poetry makes knowledge last. Verse is easy to remember and simple to transmit, even without writing. In the Sanskrit tradition, wisdom was preserved orally for centuries, carried faithfully through sound and memory. In Sanskrit especially, the power of sandhi allows sounds and meanings to unite within a single, flowing expression. Words do not stand isolated; they merge, resonate, and create a living current of meaning. Poetry enters the heart through rhythm and resonance. No script is required-the Sanskrit word itself, woven through sandhi, shines complete and self-contained. It can travel intact from one heart to another. Even in times of destruction, when manuscripts are lost and structures fall, poetry safeguards knowledge. Memory becomes the temple, sound becomes the scripture, and the living voice becomes the preserver of truth.

Thus, poetry is not merely ornamentation-it is a powerful vessel for holding, protecting, and disseminating knowledge across generations.

"Don’t Chase the God , He’ll Come to You"

Don’t run through forests, don’t climb the skies,

Don’t chase His form with weary eyes.

Just love Him true, in silent prayer,

And feel His presence in the air.

He seeks not gold, nor grand display,

But hearts that bloom in love each day.

In tears you shed, in songs you sing,

In every breath ,  He’s everything.

Don’t run after God, don’t roam the blue 

Just love Him deep… He’ll come to you.

The Path of Divine Grace

Without the sorrow, without the strain,

All seek the crown the scriptures claim;

They crave the bliss of God’s pure light,

Yet flee the path of strain and holy right.

They dream of thrones where angels rise,

But fear the pain and fire that purifies;

God’s law, His work, His mystic ways

Lie veiled before their clouded gaze.

They want the fruit, avoid the thorn and seed,

And walk in shadows shaped by need;

But one who walks through night and flame

Finds grace revealed, beyond all name.

ये अस्मिन् मर्त्यलोके आत्मसाक्षात्कारं लभन्ते,

 ते सर्वम् एव विजित्य विमुक्तभावेन तिष्ठन्ति।

God: The Discernment of Truth,

Righteousness, and Unrighteousness.

💧

God is the Truth ,  eternal, bright,

Self-proven in His boundless light.

His vision pure, His works divine,

In wisdom’s glow all truths align.

He is the Law, the Dharma sure,

The essence changeless, ever pure.

In every heart, in earth and sky,

His truth resounds, it cannot lie.

But falsehood born of blinded mind,

Is sin against the Truth Divine.

To preach untruth in holy name,

Is Adharma’s darkest flame.

Who fabricates in God’s pure stead,

Who leads astray with words misread,

Defiles the sacred path of right,

And veils the soul from inner light.

So let the wise, in insight deep,

This sacred vow forever keep

To honor Truth in thought and deed,

For Truth alone is God indeed.

★

As One Sees, So God Appears

When God on earth in human form did stay,

Yet few could see His truth in mortal clay.

Some hearts awoke and knew His form divine,

And felt His presence radiant, pure, sublime.

By His own word, His glory stood revealed,

And faith in Him within their souls was sealed.

They bowed in love, their vision clear and bright,

And sensed His fragrance filled with sacred light.

But others saw a man of common birth,

And mocked His name, unaware of worth.

Their clouded minds, in ignorance confined,

Perceived no grace, no truth their hearts could find.

Thus lives this tale upon the earthly span-

God seen as God, or merely seen as man.

As is the heart, so is the sight we frame:

One finds the truth, another mocks the same.

हर प्राणी में देखे जो ईश्वर की ही काया,

वही है ज्ञानी, वही भक्त, वही ईश्वर की छाया।

न तिलक , न माला, न ऊँचे ज्ञान के बोल,

सेवा, दया, करुणा , यही है मोक्ष की डोर।

त्यागो दंभ, अहंकार , अपनाओ नम्रता,

जहाँ प्रेम हो, करुणा हो , वहीं है ईश्वरीय सत्ता।

प्रभु को पाना है तो बनो हर जीव का सखा,

सेवा ही है साधन सबका, प्रेम ही है सब कुछ की दवा।

The Illusion of Divinity

The chariot thinks, “Behold, I'm divine,”

Its wheels roll proud along the sacred line.

With painted frame and gilded grace,

It moves as though to take God's place.

The idol stands in silent pride,

“I am the divine,” it claims inside.

Adorned with jewels, in a temple's gleam,

It basks alone in a hollow dream.

The priest believes he's truly wise,

Clothed in holy, ceremonious guise.

He cries, “Come unto me for grace,

For I alone hold God's own place.”

In priestly robes, with measured pace,

He walks as master of the sacred space.

But in the crowd, a poor soul stood,

Silent, humble, pure in heart and mood.

He softly prayed to the True Divine,

“Oh God, please come, and truly shine.”

Hearing this, the True God laughed,

So soft, so wise, a golden craft.

Then gently rose in radiant light,

Like stars that pierce the endless night.
