The Destiny of Man-23.

-


As regards the prophets of doom who say : -

"Will humanity survive in the 21st century? Will the earth through an atomic explosion of a third holocaust be blown into a nuclear cloud? Maybe the earth and all life will cease to be because of radiation and the planet will become a frozen ball through the nuclear winter which is feared by scientists ..."  those who say that about the destiny of man, whatever their predictions and fears—I have come here to give you the vision of the ancients regarding the ultimate destiny of man, not the immediate destiny.

If this planet earth is completely destroyed due to a nuclear war and all life ceases here, nothing will happen to you!

You will not be touched.

You will not be affected.

Your destiny will not be altered.

You’ll migrate and take rebirth on some other planet that will be fashioned for you.

And there you’ll start where you left off here and continue this relentless irresistible process of evolution until you shine as a God!

 You are sleeping Gods. And so, if this world is lost, what will happen?

It is only one little college.

If a college is destroyed by fire, your educational career does not come to an end, you don’t have to stay put in 6th class.

You can go to another college and finish your degree, your M.A., your PhD and go to the top of your career.

For your evolution this planet earth is not the only place, there are millions of places.

Therefore if anything happens, nothing happens.

For whatever happens, happens only to the physical things, to matter. And what are you?

You are that immortal radiant divine spirit which weapons cannot injure, fire cannot burn, water cannot wet and wind cannot dry—unborn, eternal, permanent—you are beyond time, and death has no meaning for you.

You are imperishable, immortal, indestructible, deathless and birthless.

Whatever happens, happens only to this mortal body, to this cage of flesh and bones.

It does not need a nuclear war to destroy it.

When it becomes old, it will anyway be destroyed by a heart-attack or an accident.

There are a hundred different ways for this body to come to an end, it does not require a nuclear war.

SRI SWAMI CHIDANANDA

26/11/2018 The Call of Sri Krishna: The Gospel of Super Excellence - 6. : Swami Krishnananda (Talk given on Janmashtami, Sri Krishna's birthday.) A powerful interest that dominates a man's life polarises his mind, which then acts like a magnet and continually draws out from his stored-up experiences and also from new experiences whatever is relevant and useful to the end in view. Deep interest invigorates the mind, awakens its dormant powers and is the key to super excellence, invention and discovery. Hard work is another condition of superiority. The aspirant must master the knowledge and technique pertaining to his particular job; in fact, he must be a keen and lifelong learner, ready to pick up new ideas and new ways wherever he can find them. He must cultivate the habits of thoroughness, accuracy and reliability; he must take pains to check, revise and polish his work until it acquires as perfect a finish as possible within the limits of time available.

================================================================ Wednesday, 24 Jan 2024.  05:30. Article: Philosophy: The Aim of Human Existence – Part 3/3 (Spoken at a Conference in Delhi on Sept. 21, 1980) Post-9. ================================================================ The Aim of Human Existence – Part 3/3 -1 No success in any field of life can be achieved without tapas. Tapas is the guarantee for success in any walk of life, in any direction of any activity. We have been told that creation originated with the tapas of the Creator. The Nasadiya Sukta of the Veda tells us that the Supreme Creator performed tapas when He willed this vast creation, and the whole of His creation is vibrant with various degrees and manifestations of this supreme tapas. In this sense, we may say that the whole creation is only tapas, and the activities of nature in its generality and of people in its particularity are all engendered by a force which can be best described as tapas. I for one ca...

Transitioning Consciousness from the Animal Through the Human Stage to the Divine Consummation :

-

We generally characterize the major difference in psychology between animals and human beings as the result of the ability of the human being to utilize the Reason, a higher form of intelligence than the basic sense apparatus and physical mind that clearly is predominant in the animal consciousness. At the same time, we can see elements of the power of Reason in the animal kingdom, and cannot deny that most human beings utilize the sense and physical mind capacities as their primary tool for navigating their way through their lives. Sri Aurobindo points out that “…reason is only a particular and limited utilitarian and instrumental activity that proceeds from something much greater than itself, from a power that dwells in an ether more luminous, wider, illimitable.” There appears to be actually a ladder of consciousness which does not provide clearly defined separate steps between the animal and man, and which has not finished its ascent with the appearance of the reasoning f...
