जीवन विद्या एक परिचय

This can be called Omnipresence. There are two kinds of entities (units) – insentient and sentient. Sentient entities mean animal-kind and humankind, and insentient entities mean material order and biological order. Insentient entities include all the minerals, soils, metals and formations of biological cells. All of these are soaked, submerged and surrounded in Omnipresence. I have seen this precisely. There is no provision in existence to separate units of nature from Omnipresence. Humans cannot create that of which there is no provision in existence.

If humans accomplish anything contrary to the usefulness of what is provisioned in existence, it results in nothing but devastation. For instance, we used so many resources for war, but we could accomplish nothing other than the destruction of Earth and humans through this. Perhaps the scientific community is slowly recognising this. If they had recognised it sooner, humans could have become happy and prosperous. Perhaps it was bound to happen in this way – like the river that crosses many banks before it meets the ocean. First, humans had to go through mystical idealism – but the relief found here proved insufficient. After that, they found themselves in the clutches of materialism again. The relief that they found here also proved inadequate in terms of happiness and prosperity. This is the painful situation of today.

We didn’t find complete relief from either of these and so naturally there is a need for a third step. In this way, the answer that I found to the question of bandhan and moksha is - “Humans become liberated from bondage upon becoming wise.” Now, how can one become wise? In the course of examining what I had seen, I asked - what delusion do I have? I explored within “myself”, I verified within “myself” and I found that there is no cause of bondage within me. So why not work so that this state arises in everyone! What would it be like if this happens? Then the proclamation that I had shared with you will come true. Earth will become heavenly, humans will become deities, dharma will prevail, and goodness will be eternal. The tradition of eternal goodness will be established. Thus, I began examining myself by asking: Will I be able to convey this knowledge? Do people have a need for it or not? Thus, began what we now know as Jeevan Vidya.

The point when I became confident (about the Jeevan Vidya program) was when I realised that “the code of humane conduct” can be incorporated into the Constitution. A humane national character will become evident as a result. I am definite about this. I am myself proficient and living evidence of this knowledge. I have understood ‘existence’ and I can impart that understanding to you. I have understood ‘jeevan’ and I can impart that understanding to you. I have understood ‘humane conduct’ and I can impart that understanding to you. One becomes wise upon understanding these three truths.
