God & Self-Realization (Scientific & Spiritual View) (Part-1) - 2020

By Dharam Vir Mangla

Although God is one & Truth is one, but there are many misconceptions between the Spirituality & Sciences. None has synthesized both. Now Cosmological researches are accepting the evidences of an infinite intelligent and powerful Almighty God in the creation of the universe.

It is improper that many religions and authors, who neither believe in God (Spirit) nor in soul and none has proved the non-existence of God, but still they call themselves the most spiritual? To equate an Avatara of God to a Saint or an atheist like Buddha & Mahavira is a grievous error due to ignorance. This book clarifies the concept of God and to create a firm faith in God. Author has tried his best not to twist any spiritual, scientific and historical fact (as it is a common practice) to please the people of any religion or any country. Truth should never be twisted to please or displease anybody.

About the Book

This is a revised & enlarged edition of the book "God and Self-Realization" (Scientific and Spiritual View).Although God is one & Truth is one, but there are many misconceptions between the Spirituality & Sciences. None has synthesized both to remove the differences. Now the latest Cosmological researches are accepting the evidences and the hand of an infinite intelligent and powerful Almighty God in the creation of the universe. I noticed that many authors who are neither spiritual nor have enough knowledge of yoga, sciences & spirituality are creating misconceptions and confusing the readers. This book is a rare attempt to remove those misconceptions and confusions.

The whole humanity is now haunted by so many unanswered questions and none is to help us. Is it not funny that there are many religions and many authors who neither believes in God (Spirit) nor in soul and none has proved the non-existence of God, but still they call themselves the most spiritual? To equate an Avatara of God to a saint or a non-believer is a grievous error due to ignorance. This book has the sole aim to clarify the concept of God and to create a firm faith in God. I have tried my best not to twist any spiritual, scientific and historical fact (as it is a common practice) to please the people of a religion or a country. The truth should never be twisted to please someone for a selfish aim.

I am fortunate that I was born in India, which has given birth to many great religions of the world. The spiritual knowledge of the great Vedas & Scriptures is available in India without doing any extra efforts. I have the blessings of some great saints like Sri Amar Jyoti Babaji, Mahavtar Babaji and Sri Sathya Sai Babaji. Generally, the great scientists of the west are deprived of such opportunity.

I am thankful to Sri Amar Jyoti Babaji, a most revered saint of India, who has inspired and blessed me to write this book. All my family members have his frequent company & blessings. I am indebted for the computer help and in providing the various ideas of scientific and spiritual views of my wife Mrs. Vimla Devi, daughter Jai Shree and son Raju Gupta.

I got a lot of help, inspiration and guidance in writing this book from many God-devoted friends like Sh. Ashok Verdhan Dewan Ex-Deputy Director Education from Jammu, Mr. & Mrs. Prem Bhandari Head of Third Eye Mission in India, Dr. R.K. Gupta Deputy Director General & Head of NIC, Dr. Archana Gupta Director CSIR, & Sh. M.D. Goel Assistant Director of Education, and many others. I can never forget the help of all the persons in publishing this book in the service of God.

God & Self-Realization (Scientific & Spiritual View) revised edition is a rare attempt to write a spiritual cum scientific book. It correlates our latest scientific cosmological researches and technological developments with the universal science of Yoga and Scriptures. Present is a historic times. The whole world is facing an inevitable danger of its existence due to the horror faced by intermixing of religion with politics and terrorism against the survival of humanity and peace. There is a need to understand Science, God and Self-Realization. Due to the advancement of our scientific and cosmological knowledge, a major transformation is always taking place in our minds.

Our system of education has become infructuous.Most of the teachers have become indifferent, towards God while teaching their subjects. Students have simply become big storehouses of huge data supplied by their teachers. They are unable to analyze and interpret it correctly. It is puzzling their little minds. The parents, society and most of the governments have stopped providing any religious and philosophical education to the students. Besides some of the governments are misusing the religions to provide training of terrorism and violence to achieve their hidden wicked aim. They have hidden and heinous motto to wipe out all other religions from the world and to rule by their own religion over the whole earth.

None has a time and none has taken any responsibility to answer the unending questions & quarries arising in the mind of the students. Now the younger generations also want to know about God, the universe, dreams, death, birth, rebirth, mind, consciousness, intelligence, illusions, delusions, Maya, soul, miracles, saints, Avatara and Scriptures etc. The author has tried successfully to answer their difficult questions?

They wanted to know who really they are. From where, they have come to this temporary world for a short duration? Who imprisoned them in their body to act in this world like a puppet? What will happen to them after their death? Where they will go after their death? What is the purpose of life? What is this mysterious universe around us?Who made the scientific laws governing the universe and us? What is the purpose behind the creation of the universe? What is God? Is it possible to contact Him? How to know God and how to contact Him? The author has tried his best to satisfy all such eternal quarries of man in this rare book.

The book deals with the most common misconceptions and confusions in the minds of educated people like the difference between: Illusions--Delusions–Maya; Guru–Teacher– Instructor, Information–Knowledge; due to increase of information our ignorance is increasing; Creation–Creator; Belief–Faith; Life Energy (prana) – Physical Energies; Avatars–Self realized saints; Scriptures–Ordinary or Holy Books, Magic–Miracle, Proof–Verification; Scientific Laws are beyond derivation and proofs; Are the Scriptures or Shastras are Myths or Reality; Who is writer of Vedas and Scriptures; Misconceptions about dreams and death etc.

Due to teaching of sciences in a wrong way much confusion and misconceptions are created in our minds. It is due to the faulty system of education and faulty teaching. For example many began to think that information is knowledge; science and technology can do anything (even impossible) and there is no need of the creator for the creation of the universe. Most of the students generally lost their faith in the existence of God and began to ignore their religion. They began to doubt upon the miracles performed by the saints and apparently become atheist.

The author has tried his best to remove their doubts and misconceptions. He has tried to convince that the sciences, the Scriptures, the religions and the yogic science are in perfect agreement with each other. There cannot be any contradiction between the religions, God and the scientific laws. The Scriptures are not myths but are full of truth. Science and the Scriptures are not contradictory to each other as said by some ignorant scientists. Both are supplementing their knowledge to each other and ultimately leading to the same Absolute Complete Truth.

Due to rapid scientific and technological advancement, our old ideas and philosophies are changing and the new ideas and philosophies are taking births. Now the scientists have begun to realize that our basic identity in the world is neither mind, nor the physical body bounded by birth and death, nor time and space. But it is basically the infinite universal and eternal spirit with infinite cosmic consciousness. This consciousness is beyond time and space and is unaffected by death. The entire cosmos is a manifestation of universal consciousness. It is beyond limits, finite, eternal, and without boundaries. It is ultimately our real self. Why we have not realized this truth?

Our sciences are still in childhood stage. The writer has successfully proved the need of further researches in the various fields, which will be most useful in the future- development of the man in the world.

There have been numerous self-realized saints and Avataras with their many miracles and super powers. All the Scriptures and the millions of people including the scientists in the world are the witnesses to the miracles performed by them. But many of the scientists and the sciences are intentionally ignoring the miracles performed by them. This has confused and puzzled the minds of the persons in the world.

As the scientists verify the laws of natural sciences in their science laboratories, similarly the yogis experiment to verify the laws of yoga mentioned in the Scriptures through the yogic science. If a scientist intentionally ignores God it is like ignoring and denying the existence of the universe around us. This kind of thinking is unscientific and needs to be changed.

This book emphasizes on the latest researches and theories of natural sciences and the spiritual view of the Scriptures, especially in respect of the miracles and to understand the structure, origin of the universe and matter. The author compared the latest concept of the origin and creation of universe as perceived by cosmologists and as mentioned in the Holy Vedas perceived by the great Rishis. The readers are open to accept the concepts of the universe; whichever is more convincing to them.

Prayer

O Divine Mother! Teach me to understand Thy great mystery of the spirit, mind, matter, energy and the wondrous universe around me. Since millennium and in my numerous past incarnations, I might have forgotten Thee, but I am sure, Thou art has not forgotten me, even for an instant. Now I am in search of knowing Thy reality and nothing else. I am crying to find & meet Thou art, since my first breath in Thy delusive universe. Father! Thou Maya hast separated me from Thee. Forgive me as, I was busy with Thy enchanting creation and had forgotten Thee.

Divine Father! Thy creation is already entrapped in Thy great Illusion, Delusion and Maya. Our limited senses, intelligence and mind do not perceive Thy absolute reality and Truth, but only glimpses of Thy great Dream-Drama projected through Thy Infinite Great Mind. O Creator of Lives! Help us to know Thy Drama.

This means: O, God! Thou art infinite and complete. Out of Thy infinite formless existence, the infinite creation (universe) has come out from Thee as Thou manifestation. Thou art (the left-after) still infinite i.e. nothing has been reduced from Thee. Nothing can be added to Thee.

This nature of God exactly tallies with Mathematics. Mathematically, this means if we subtract infinity from infinity it is still infinity and not zero (Infinity – Infinity = 0). Conversely, if infinity is added to infinity, it still
