God Can Be Seen

God can be seen, but, as in “seeing” the atom, we must be trained to interpret the relevant data.

Many intellectuals seem to agree with Karl Marx’s statement that religion is the opium of the people. A common misconception in these times is that God is an anthropomorphic projection, a psychological crutch for those who are helplessly bewildered by the problems of life and who haven’t the guts to face reality. This unfortunate misconception prevents people from learning that God’s existence is an objective fact.

To demonstrate that God’s existence is every bit as objective as a brick wall, we will have to define what we mean by objective. According to Webster’s dictionary, the word objective means “of or having to do with a known or perceived object, as distinguished from something existing only in the mind of the subject.” To say that something objectively exists means that it has its own independent existence and is not the product of someone’s imagination. So how do we demonstrate that God’s existence is not the product of our imagination?

“Show me God,” many people say. I hear this all the time. “OK, if God exists, prove it. Show me God right now”—as if seeing something were the only test of its existence. All right, you can see God, but seeing God is not a cheap thing. The problem is that people expect to instantly see God on demand. You can see God as directly as you are seeing this page, but it takes time. You have to become qualified.

Besides, why do we have to see something to believe it? “Seeing is believing,” we say, but actually we believe in many things we don’t see. It’s only when we don’t want to believe something that we make the rules more difficult and say we have to see it to believe it.

If we hear on the radio that there is a raging fire in a chemical factory on the other side of town, we accept it. We don’t say, “Show me the fire.” We accept it because we trust the radio announcer. Besides, we haven’t got time to drive all over town verifying everything for ourselves. The fire is an objective fact even though we didn’t see it ourselves.

Death is also an objective fact. Would anyone dare to propose that death is a product of our imagination? I don’t think so. But on the other hand, none of us has yet seen our own death. So how can we know that our death is certain, if we haven’t seen it? We can know by extrapolation. Everyone in the past has died, without exception. So it is reasonable to conclude that for us, too, death is an undeniable fact.

What about the existence of the atom? Surely nobody would complain that knowledge of the atom is merely one person’s subjective belief. But can we show someone an atom? Well, we can demonstrate that atoms exist, but it takes time. You can’t just walk into a particle accelerator laboratory and right up to a bunch of scientists who are busily adjusting knobs and staring into computer screens and demand that they instantly prove to you the existence of atoms simply by showing them to you.

First of all, atoms are too small to see, even with an electron microscope, so there is no possibility that anyone can show you an atom. And even if the scientists of whom you impudently demanded immediate proof of the atom were to actually give you the proof, which might be some bewildering equations and numbers on a computer printout, you wouldn’t even be able to understand it. You’d say, “Where’s the atom? I don’t see any atom.” You don’t see the atom because you haven’t been trained to interpret the data that demonstrate the existence of the atom. You have some childish idea that for something to exist factually and objectively, you have to be able to see it.

We can perceive the atom only by inference. Because of the behavior of matter under precisely controlled conditions, we can understand that the atom must exist. But without these conditions and without having studied chemistry and physics, we can never understand the proof of the existence of an atom.

So why pull out a double standard when it comes to proving the existence of God? We accept as a fact the fire on the other side of town without having seen it. We accept that we are going to die, even though we haven’t seen our death. We accept the scientists’ declaration that there are atoms, even though the scientists themselves have not seen them. Why then turn around and say that anyone who accepts the existence of God is groping for a psychological crutch because of a weakness of character?

There is a process for understanding everything, and there is an appropriate process for understanding God. You must enroll in an authorized course of study. Use the textbooks that have proven to be the most effective manuals for spiritual education and are recommended by the experts in the field. Follow the proper procedures under controlled conditions, if you want direct perception of God Himself. It is as systematic and predictable as any science.

Yet there is a difference between the process by which we can understand God and the process of understanding matter—because God, Krishna, is a person.

Because matter is not alive, we can shove it around any way we want without difficulty. But who says controlled manipulation is the only process for getting knowledge? Is it even reasonable to assume we can apply to our search for the Supreme Lord the same methods we use to investigate matter? After all, Krishna, God, is a person who thinks and feels and desires just like us. But unlike us, He is unlimited. He knows everything. He is eternal. He controls everything. But He is a conscious person nonetheless.

Now, if you want to know something about a person, the best way to find out is to ask him. If you want to know, say, why a person is wearing a locket around his neck, you’d probably be well advised not to take the same approach we use for examining matter. You probably wouldn’t do well to walk up to the person, and without saying anything to him, grab the locket and start examining it, trying to pry it open. You’d probably get a knee in the ribs if you tried that. With persons, it helps to be personal. You try to please them, and if they want they can tell you all about themselves.

Lord Krishna is a person, and He’s our superior. Why should He immediately respond to our demand that He appear on the spot? If I were to call you up on the phone and say, “I command you to immediately come to my home,” would you feel obliged to do it? I doubt it.

Krishna Himself tells us how to know Him in Bhagavad- gita (18.55), bhaktya mam abhijanati yavan yash casmi tattvatah: “One can understand Me as I am, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, only by devotional service.” The process for understanding Krishna is to please Him. Then, if He wants to, He can give us knowledge of Himself. But how exactly do we go about pleasing Krishna? What do we do? What do we say? How do we know if we are doing the right thing?

As in any field, to learn quickly without getting lost or sidetracked we need a teacher. We need someone who knows the science of God, someone who can guide us through our studies. Don’t just pick any person who “looks spiritual.” We want someone who has been practicing the process for a long time and is an expert. He should know all the standard spiritual texts. And most important, he should love Krishna above all else. A person obsessed with love for Krishna will have no interest in catering to the demands of his body. He is not looking for pleasure from his tongue, his eyes, his ears, or his genitals, because he is absorbed in a higher pleasure. A spiritual teacher must also be free from anger and attachment—no fits of rage because someone dented his fender in the parking lot. And even if his house burns down, his wife runs off with another man, and he inherits a million dollars—all in one day—still he should be calm and peaceful, because one who knows Krishna is with Krishna, beyond this world. A tall order for you or me. But these are the qualifications of a genuine spiritual master.

Yet even if you find such a spiritual master, you as a student also have to be qualified. You have to follow the instructions of the teacher. If you do so, then you will see Krishna. If you don’t, you won’t.

Then you too will be able to honestly say, “Krishna is an objective fact. I know, because I have seen Him,” as many have said before. People who will not accept God unless we can immediately show them God are just like blindfolded men demanding to see the sun without removing their blindfolds. Unfortunately, with such an attitude, such persons will never know that God is an objective fact.

Hare Krishna

Mission Shoot To Remember

Official Video Of "B.Tech.-ECE-2010 Batch (A Section); GVSET, Jaipur"

CollEge CollAge

Here is a collage of some snaps taken in college during two different placement events. CLICK on image to ENLARGE.

This is how I decided to spend my spare time while waiting for the "not-so-punctual" company representatives and HRs.

Byju and Gaurang paid me well enough to put there pics on this blog, if you are interested in getting your pic on Korner Kafe, then contact any of the authors and bribe them accordingly...!!:P

The newly constructed seminar hall in the pic has no fans and only two micro-windows(not visible in pic); making it the most suffocated place to be in. And still the place is over-crowded. Unemployment really needs some attention.:)

Apart from this the projector is focusing on the wall itself (in fond memory of its screen).

P.S.: NO OFFENDS MEANT AGAINST ANYONE/ INSTITUTE.

Lets join our hands and make Earth a better place to be.(just like it was meant to be).

Hi All,
Lets say its a Wake Up call to everyone out here.

I was reading a message sent to me by my very good friend and the creator of this blog which is as-

"By the next 10 months, our Earth will become 4 degree hotter than its now.
Our Himalayan Glaciers are melting at a rapid rate.
So all of you lend your hands to fight global warming:-
-Plant more trees.
-Don't waste water.
-Don't use or burn plastic."

Coincidentally just before this message popped in I was talking to a friend who has started an organization named Green For Sustainable Development along with other batch mates of mine.
Its so good that the people like us are taking this initiative of trying to bring back the better picture of the Earth to all of us.
So I think that we will appreciate their efforts for caring so much, not only about themselves and their studies (like we normal people do), but also for the complete mankind.
I really admire them and just requesting you all to join in hand in the efforts they are making so that our combine effort can make some difference for us and the generations to come.

And now the details about the Green From the GreenForSD itself:-

"GreenForSD provides an opportunity to work as a Volunteer & for this you will get a Certificate from the organization. The job role will generally involve helping the activities of Green to run smoothly and at the same time we will make sure that you learn more and more.

Other way to involve is to join us as a member which involves a membership fees of Rs. 500. This will make you entitle for the benefits such as:

1. Reimbursement for attending external conferences.

2. To contribute and have access to the small library that is in making. This library will be at the office of GreenForSD by the members and for the members. Right now we have about 15 books on different different topics. As Green becomes financially more strong they are about to start some magazines also which the members can refer to.

3. Opportunity to take leadership roles for different projects run under GreenForSD."

I am providing the links to get online with them:

All the people in this Kafe I met, have a lot of potential. Some have the right directions and some others are still in the process of searching for the right path. So, its not just about seeing another "NGO" working for the environment but this time its about heading our potential in right direction.
Hope you will all join in.
Thanks

The Climb...Life is a climb but the view is Great...

Guys...I want to share lyrics of a song that matches almost all of our lives..so here is it..

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith

An Appeal For All Riders

6th februray 2010

Today when I was returning home this afternoon with dad,(time was about 12noon). I saw that

on the roadside, some people were gathered. Dad stopped the scooter and start guessing what had happened. Just then I saw that in the middle of the crowd there was a girl, of almost my age; lying down on the road. I saw that there was no lady around her so, I immediately got down and helped her. She was not-so-badly injured; soon 108 (ambulance) reached there and she was taken to the hospital.

She was stuck down by two boys on a bike as per told by the people around. The girl was on her scooty, two guys on a speedy bike took a cut from the wrong side, and made the girl fell down from her scooty.

The bike raced off soon after the accident happened.

Thank fully nothing much bad happened..but what if it would have.

I m here writing this blog just to appeal u all guyss n gals who drive daily. plzz..drive slow and safe..its not only for you but for other people also,who are out there on the road.

Those two guys might not have event noticed that their harsh driving almost killed someone. But just think what would have happened to her parents when they were called upon by some stranger and informed that their daughter has met with an accident.

I am not accusing some one or the other for his/her fault I am just appealing to drive safe..coz your one un-intentional mistake can cause an irrevocable loss to someone.

Stay safe and happy..[:)] keep smiling
