The
108 Questions For Jagni
Sundersath
Spiritual Awakening
1.
What should be the Ultimate Human Quest according
to the scriptures?
God-Realization (ParBrahmn Pehechan) and
self-realization (Atma Pehechan) is the Ultimate Human Quest. This
quest involves search for these queries:
-
Who am I?
-
Where have I come from?
-
What is the purpose of my existence in this world?
-
Who is the true owner of my soul?
-
Where is the God who created this beautiful Universe?
-
What is the bondage of maya and how can I break
it to attain eternal salvation or moksha?
Too kaun
aayi eat kyon kar, kahan hai tera vatan |
Naar too
kaun khasam ki, dradh kar kaho vachan || (Kuljam Swaroop)
2.
What should be the Ultimate outcome of this quest?
Eternal Bliss (Nijanand) in the Abode of
the ParBrahmn is the Ultimate outcome of this quest.
Jo kachhu
kahya Ved ne, soi kahya Kateb |
Dou bande
eak Saheb ke, par ladat bina paaye bhed || (KS: Khu: 12/42)
3.
Do the Scriptures of the East and the West point to different Gods or the
same?
The scriptures of the East and the West -
all point to One Supreme Truth God. Only an awakened soul experiences
this unity in the diversity of world cultures and languages.
4.
How should one view a Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, or else in spiritual
sense?
If we are Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh,
or else, that's by body, not by soul. The one who has realized such a unity,
and tries to live by this truth, is a true Hindu, a true Muslim, a true
Sikh or a true Christian.
Hindu Kahe
Hum Uttam, Musalman Kahey hum Paak |
Dou Mutthi
Eak Thor Ki, Eak Rakh Duji khak ||
(Kuljam Swaroop: Sindhi: 40-42)
Whoever is fanatic (kattar) about being a
Hindu, a Muslim or a Christian or a Jew, that individual can not easily
realize the true factual swaroop of the Supreme Brahmn. All these
worldly identities separate one human being from the other. It builds
an obstacle to our 'soul' vision. The soul or Atman is beyond all
these worldly identities. A soul is the part and parcel of the Supreme
Brahmn. And, He descended to this world only because His souls have
come to see this worldly drama. All sundersath devotees must never
forget this essential truth.
5.
What are the key criteria for a true religion?
A true religion is one, which not only brings
a sense of humanity among all the humans, but also leads to the path to
freedom from the cycle of birth and rebirth.
-
A truly "evolving belief" is one that allows
a seeker to realize the Ultimate moksha, heaven and the Pure Divine Form
of God while being a good world citizen.
-
While it is essential that every human becomes
a responsible member of the world family, it is even more important to
focus on the ultimate human goal of self-realization, as prescribed by
the original world scriptures.
6.
How can I understand that God is only ONE?
The Supreme Truth God (God) is only ONE.
He is beyond all the deities, avatars (gods), angels, and beyond all names
(Aksharateet) and boundaries of cultures, languages, or lands.
-
He is the only one worthy of worship by all.
-
Hindus call Him as Sachidanand, Par-Brahmn, Parmatma,
Uttam Purusha, Saheb or Aksharateet.
-
Muslims call Him Allah and
-
Christians call Him Lord of Lords and King of
Kings.
-
To show this scriptural unity, Sri Prannathji
proclaimed: 'Soi Khuda Aur Soi Brahmn.'
Jude jude
naame gavhi, jude jude bhekh anek |
Jin koi jagdo
aap mein, dhani sabon ka eak ||
(Kuljam Swaroop: Sindhi: 41-72)
7.
Is the worship of many different deities and angels appropriate?
The worship of many different deities and
angels reflect ignorance of a human being about the One God. (Atharva
Veda: 9/10/28: Eakam sat bahudha vipra vadanti..)
-
The common belief that all worships ultimately
lead to one God is highly misleading.
-
The Hindu Vedas clearly speak of One God:
"Eko Brahmn Dwitiyo Nasti."
-
Sri Prannathji revealed this Vedic secret by
disclosing the true swaroop, leela and dham of One Supreme God.
-
One must realize this Truth about God in this
human life.
-
Not a single mantra of the Four Vedas have prayed
for the multiple gods or godesses.
Parbrahmn toh puran
eak hai, eah toh anek parmeshwar kahavey |
Anek panth sab
judey judey, aur sab koi shashtra bolavey ||
(Kuljam Swaroop: Kirantan 6/7)
Dharey naam khasam
ke, judey judey aap anek |
Anek rangey sangey
dhangey, vidh vidh kheley vivek ||
(Kuljam Swaroop: Kalas.Hindi 14/33)
8.
What is the name of Aksharateet Supreme Brahmn?
Aksharateet Supreme Lord is beyond all
names.
-
The notion of restricting Aksharateet Supreme
Truth Sat-Chid-Anand’s identity to any name or label, including ‘Sri Krishna,’
is derogatory to His supreme glory.
-
The praises such as 'Shri Prannathji' or
'Sriji Sahebji,' do not just apply to the person of Mehraj Thakur.
In reality, these praises are intended solely for the Divine Form (noori
swaroop) of Aksharateet Puran Brahmn.
9.
What is the significance of THIS current period, the 28th Kaliyug?
Liberation (mukti or moksh) of a living spirit
(Jiva) from the cycle of birth and re-birth is possible only in THIS current
period, the 28th Kaliyug.
10.
Why is human birth considered so important for liberation?
The birth as a human being is a very special
opportunity for liberation.
-
Since one can not be sure that his Jiva in human
form will receive another birth as a human being after this life, one must
not lose focus from this true goal.
-
Today's humans have lost focus from this ultimate
goal taught by the world scriptures, in the midst of complexities of the
modern world.
-
Their true-life priorities have been misplaced
by their desires for the worldly happiness.
Ko naam bandh ha
kathmesh aagat ha, katham pratishthashya katham vimoksha ha
|
Ko asavnatma param
ha ka atma, tayorvivek kathmet duchyataam ||
(Vivek Chudamani:51)
Anek vaar
tarfadi mari ney, dukh dekhi aavya chho paar |
Lakh chorasi bhami
ney aavya, aahin madhya desh vepaar ||
(Kuljam Swaroop: Kirantan: 125/4)
“O humans! You that you are the
most fortunate of all! Your Jiva has received an opportunity to be
born as a human being after completing innumerable cycles of birth and
rebirth. A Jiva can be free from the bondage of Maya only during
this life. Why are you losing this golden opportunity?”
11.
How should a human soul worship God?
Since, God is Love and Love is God, the Souls
in human forms are expressions of His Love. Such souls always remain
immersed in the ocean of His divine love and love her Lord like a virtuous
and chaste wife.
12.
What should a soul do to attain Eternal Bliss?
To attain Eternal Bliss, a soul must do the
following:
-
Seek refuge in the lotus feet of the true master
(satguru) for self-realization.
-
Completely purity his/her heart first by reading
and practicing the Divine Wisdom with full faith and selfless love.
True spirituality ends all animosities and brings true peace and happiness
among the diversities of this world.
-
Live in the world like a lotus, which remains
separate from the water, even in the middle of the lake.
-
Practice Chitwani (meditation) of God's Noori
form (swaroop) and the blissful sports of the Supreme Abode - Paramdham.
-
Practice the Path of Unparalleled exclusive Love
for Aksharateet, as exemplified by the milkmaids of Brij and Raas.
-
Realize the limitations of Karmas and Dharmas,
including Navdha Bhakti, and cross these barriers to attain eternal bliss
(Nijanand) in the lotus feet of the Perfect Divine Couple.
-
Build faith (Emaan) through Tartam Knowledge
impregnated by unparallelled love (Ishakmayi Elam) and Divine love impregnated
by Tartam Knowledge (Elam based Ishak). These are the three vehicles:
-
Ishak -- the true and exclusive love for
the Lord,
-
Elam -- the divine Tartam Knowledge and
-
Emaan -- the unparalleled faith in One
God--Aksharateet.
-
Actually know the One Supreme Brahmn Aksharateet
- who is the sole source of Love. Only then can one know the true
meaning of Divine Love, and demonstrate that 'Prem Brahmn dou eak hai.'
We believe that only this understanding can bring about a sense of true
love among all the humans and even the nature around us.
In brief, according to
Pujya Sarkar Sri, every sundersath must do three things daily:
1. Wani Manthan,
2. Reheni, and
3. Chitwani.
Without heartily studying the Wani or the Holy
Kuljam Swaroop Saheb, one can not arrive at the right Kuljamic standard
of living or Reheni. Without practicing Chitwani one can not feel
his/her divine connection or nisbat of Paramdham. Our awakening or
Jagni relies on all these three factors.
13.
Is a True master or a Satguru essential on the path to eternal bliss?
Yes, a True Master is absolutely essential
for spiritual awakening or jagni. However, often the sundersath devotees
confuse a True Master with Gadipati. While a True Master is an absolute
necessacity, the traditional 'Gadi System' is a major obstacle to true
spiritual awakening. Blind faith in it has significantly contributed
to the deterioration of the quality of the faith. Sri Prannathji
did not practice or preached the 'Gadi System' as it is practiced today
in our holy places with the exception of Pannaji.
14.
What are the criteria of a True Master or a Sat Guru?
A True Master (Sat Guru) is one who:
-
Enables the Jiva to experience unity in the diverse
world scriptures,
-
Separates Maya (worldly illusions) from Brahmn,
and
-
Helps the seeker to realize the true form (Swaroop),
sports (Leela), and the abode (Dham) of the Supreme Brahmn.
15.
What are the two types of Knowledge or Vidyas?
Scriptures speak of the two types of Knowledge
(Vidya): the Apara Vidya related to the Kaalmaya, and the Para Vidya or
the Brahmn Vidya, which enables one to rise beyond Kaalmaya and realize
Eternal Bliss.
16.
What category does the Divine Tartam Knowledge fell in?
The Divine Tartam Knowledge is the true 'Para
or Brahmn Vidya,' the Knowledge of the Beyond and ultimate of all scriptural
knowledge.
-
It solves all the scriptural puzzles by offering
true universal meanings to the scriptural Prophecies, which are stated
metaphorically.
-
It also removes this curtain of ignorance and
leads one to understand and realize the Swaroop (the divine form), Leela
(the divine sports) and Dham (the abode) of the souls and the Supreme Lord.
-
The Holy Kuljam Swaroop and Bitak Saheb, reflecting
the Brahmn Vidya, are the foundational holy books of Sri Nijanand Sampradaya.
The Holy Kuljam Swaroop has 18, 758 verses and the Holy Bitak Saheb is
Mahamati's only authentic book of the historical accounts of Sri Nijanand
Sampradaya. These Holy Books are to be consulted, particularly in the matters
of principles of the faith Sri Nijanand Sampradaya.
17.
What are the two most important factors in qualifying an individual to
receive this Divine Wisdom?
God's Grace and the soul's eternal relationship
(nisbat) with the Supreme Brahmn are the two most important factors in
qualifying an individual to receive this Divine Wisdom.
18.
What is the form of God? Or, Is God formless?
The true divine form of God is Suddha Saakar
Swaroop, noori (sukramayi), and beyond all the forms (saakar) and formless
(nirakaar).
-
In His True Divine (Noori) personal form,
the Supreme Brahmn is Perfect Divine Couple.
-
The most complete worship is the worship of Aksharateet
as a Perfect Divine Couple (noori yugal swaroop) seated on the Supreme
Thorne in Mool Milawa.
-
The conceptions of God having a form (Sakaar)
or without a form (Nirakaar), or being attribute less (Nirgun) or having
attributes (Sagun) only reflect the individual spiritual domain explored
by it's proponent. They are just conceptions! Not reality!
The Tartam Knowledge shows His purest divine "Suddha Sakaar" form.
19.
What about God's Abode?
The Divine Abode (Dham) of the Supreme Brahmn
is perfect in all respect.
-
It has beautiful self-luminous mansions, mountains,
parks, lakes, ponds, rivers, all imaginable animates, sports and luxuries
for the enjoyment of His dearest souls.
-
All of these are His divine manifestations exclusively
for the sports of bliss.
20.
Has the Kalki Avatar or the Budha Nish-kalanka Avatar arrived yet?
The Kalki (Budha Nish-kalanka Avatar) has
already arrived as Prannathji to fulfill the scriptural prophecies.
-
He is currently performing a huge task of spiritual
awakening through His Divine Wisdom, not by miracles.
-
He is here to destroy the reign of the Devil
(Kaliyug), establish righteousness on the earth, and free all the living
beings.
-
Hindus call Him Kalki or Buddha Nish-kalanka
Avatar. Muslims call Him Akhrul Jama Imam Mehndi, or the Last Prophet,
or the Promised Mehndi. Christians call Him the Second Christ and
the Jews call Him the Messiah. Spiritually, they all mean the same.
-
All speak about the same event, but in different
languages! Confused by these worldly differences and limitations
imposed by the externalities, people have got separated in the name of
One Supreme Truth God.
-
Now, in this Age of Spiritual Awakening, with
the Knowledge of Budha Nish-kalanka, all will be united happily.
Jyotish
kahe Vijaya-bhi-nanda, sab Kaliyug ko karsi nikanda |
Toret
kahe Isha bujrak, aayeke karsi Haq ||
Yahud kahe
Musa bada hoi, take haath chhutey sab koi |
Yun saron
rasam judi kar lai, par sab bujaraki Dhani ko deyi ||
(Kuljam Swaroop)
Never confuse Gautam Buddha, the founder
of Buddhism, with the Buddhavatar mentioned in scriptures. Because
Gautam Buddha's ultimate realization was only upto the Sunya, which is
within the domain of Nirakaar. Also, according to the scripture,
Puran samhita (34/43), Buddhaavatar and kalki Avatar will work through
two bodies. And Prannathji is Two in One: Buddhavatar Shyamaji and
Sri Rajji Himself!
