is traveling the path of God. At the time of the big bang... all souls' atmans
got separated and in the cosmic sojourn gathered impurities on the way. To cleanse
itself of the dross contained within... these souls' atmans manifest a cycle of
8.4 million manifestations to regain their pure original pristine form. It
is spirituality that gives us this true essence of life. How as a human being
can one gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). Spirituality
is finally reaching the kingdom of God (aka Vaikuntha in Hinduism) in our lifetime.
Mahavira did that... so do Gautama Buddha. Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed also
followed the same route. All these man gods in their lifetime reached the kingdom
of God... a point of no return! Traveling
the spiritual path we come to know that every human being has to travel the path
taken by Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed. As emphatically
stated by Mahavira... every human being has the potential of becoming a Mahavira.
Contrary to what is taught and preached in Christianity... spirituality tells
us that becoming a Jesus Christ in lifetime is the goal of every human being. Right
from the first manifestation to the last... the 8.4 millionth manifestation...
the ultimate goal of our soul atman is reaching the kingdom of God. It is only
then it gets liberated from the cycle of birth and death forever. Human being
is the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle. Only as a human being
can one gain enlightenment and salvation. Bhagavad
Gita... the doctrine by Lord Krishna in Mahabharata in Hinduism gives all that
is required on the spiritual path. The knower of Bhagavad Gita finally becomes
the knower of all. Assimilating the pearls of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita...
one finally crosses the ocean of Samsara (the worldly life). Spirituality
is not a small concept. God Almighty desired reaching the stage of enlightenment
and salvation in a total life span of 96.4 million earthly years. Reaching the
end goal of life is tough but not unachievable. If Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus
Christ and Prophet Mohammed did it... so can all human beings! How
tough is the journey can be fathomed from the fact that in the last about 150
years only two persons gained enlightenment amongst 6500 million people living
on Mother Earth. They were Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana. Essay
