Humans being the most intelligent species and having lived on Earth for thousands of years, we are yet nowhere near to a life of peace, love, joy and harmony. This book contains a story of a young man, Tom, who had a second and a third conversation with Guru Harry. These are continuations of their first conversation which is contained in the book "Wisdom on How to Live Life". Guru Harry epitomizes someone from a spiritual society who offers a way of living which can lead to peace, love, joy and harmony.
Through these conversations, Tom learnt that (1) how to find out our interest and mission in life, (2) why meditation is important, (3) what we have left after losing everything, (4) why it is better to believe that people die at a time of their own choosing, (5) what we should do after becoming enlightened, (6) what life is like without a body, (7) which concept of God is more empowering, (8) what is the real power of believing we are divine, (9) why it is important to believe that God and I are one, and (10) why we should transform Earth into heaven.

Does real wisdom consist of believing in God?
ReplyDeleteOr is it the realisation that we need to rely on ourselves (acting individually as well as socially) to transform our quality of life?
Yes, it is the self-realisation and self-reliance that transforms. The idea of 'God' is just to convince ourselves, or a catalyst so to speak, of the self-realisation process. In other words, we are really our own Gods. Lesser minds however do not realise this.
ReplyDeleteThe belief in faiths are mostly to seek a make-belief refuge, in another word, escapism. Many people evade insurmountable problems by escaping them, some by suicides and others by focussing onto something that relieves and or deflects the issues that bother them.
ReplyDeleteThere are also and this is fast becoming the highway to wealth by some highway preachers to lure others into believing that there is heaven where all sufferings end. The believers fail to realise that sufferings end only when death occurs. Are believers going to celebrate the death of their kins and themselves because the deads are heading for the paradise? Naive is it not?
To live a good life is to make living simple, fundamentally health must the first priority follow by adopting the simplest needs of materials. A roof over the head, a job to get income and a loving family, that's all.
Anyone thinking or dreaming of making it to heaven by first having wealth and fame can never be happy, because he or she is chasing a dream which will always remain a dreaaaaaam.
