What if you are the only person the earth?

Yes, right now what if you are the only person on the earth. 


It doesn’t matter who you are, what you have done ( I am not saying do whatever), but just keep in mind as a possibility, where you are, you might be even the son of God, Shiva, greatest guru of all time, been there, done that or even the savior of the world or even the cosmos.

It simply doesn’t matter who the hell you are?

Got it.

What is the feeling you get the moment when you think about such a predicament?


So, this is what your name, intellect, emotions, body, status – be it social, economic anything else is.


This is what everyone is trying to achieve with or through their family life, with the help of a spouse, family, relatives, money, career, achievement, success, mantra, or sadhana, kriya yoga, yoga, fame, God, astrology, health, business etc. or even through spirituality.


Still not got it.

See the whole point is suppose you achieved everything then what else, you did it, finally gave away everything, still have everything, whole world listens to you.


It is a perfect world out there.


Then what do you do.


Absolutely no defects.

You think you will be happy isn’t it. Exactly, you got it. Now tell me intellect is a good thing to be followed.


So in this case now tell me which is an easier sure shot of way achieving that state of eternal bliss.

Either directly do that makes you reach your true state that is eternal bliss or go round about with all other frills.


I am not saying quit your family life, job, give up your passion.

I am saying a rich person, a drunkard, a dacoit, even a sadist is trying to achieve the same bliss.

Only thing that differs is the approach.


Ultimately, the feel of bliss is the same for the rich person, the drunkard and dacoit.

Off course based on the actions, each one chooses, there is some consequences.

This is what most of us are stuck with. The frills. That is if I become rich then so and so...and I will be happy or I can face life even in case of most problems.

If I am having a happy family life, good finance, loved ones around and live a good life, then I will be happy.

In fact some are pushed to fight and have no other option. They do not like it. For example, say you are in a situation where you have no option but stand against the gross injustice that is happening around. 

So point why is either being happy or being pushed to injustice and getting sad or such emotions have to be the direction for your life. 

For eg: You fought all the injustice, then what? You became happy..or you got everything you became happy...see the whole thing can come down, change, or turn around any time..So the best thing is you be blissed out no matter what happens...and off course not to forget this is the true state.



I am not saying spiritual practices will not have consequences.

If you do them incorrectly or do your sadhana correctly and then do all kinds of nonsense you are bound to get reactions with interest.


For spiritual practices compared to the other forms like job, career, friendship, social service, ambitions, wealth, knowledge etc. have more chances of success in making realize the ultimate bliss.

So this means you get a lottery of a huge amount.


Now what you do with that lottery is upto you.

Invariably most people with easy money always end up losing it.

That is why most of us prefer the usual conventional route.


See choice is yours.

I am not saying spiritual path is the only way.

In fact I suggest you should transcend your spiritual sadhana as well.

What is the point if you become addicted to it also after a point in a time.


Yes, remember there will be tests on your spiritual sadhana.

In fact the severest tests come in the way of spiritual sadhana because you taking the direct route to the destination.


So do not compromise on your spiritual sadhana or practice at any cost.

But at the same time suppose you have to choose between all the wealth you have and your kids, spouse, parents, loved ones, friends, relatives and all the people dear to you.


Whom will you choose?

I am not putting you in a spot of bother.

Just saying beware of the attachments.


In short, remember what I said in the start.

Suppose you are the only person on the earth, then will it really matter if your Jesus, Allah, God, Guru, Buddha, Thief, Good Samaritan, Bad person, perfect in spiritual sadhana, smartest, strongest, divinest or the devil himself.

Get it.


So first TRANSCEND this entire thing you know, experience about life and death.

Choice is yours. Do it with your job, career, family, money, success, scientific temper, research, sadhana, mantras, money, charity, smartness, wealth, kids, spouse, or alone, however or combo of everything.

Once you TRANSCEND this you will still be here, in fact you will be able to the play the cards the way you want. Just make sure you don't play the cards foolishly. Else again you are caught in the rut.

It is about playing life untouched yet getting the experience of everything.

For eg: Imagine you are watching the movie of your whole life. Will you still be pained, happy or even ecstatic the same way. No because you are just watching a movie. So you can be the main role in the movie, be the director, producer, movie can be hit, flop or anything or not release or stop mid way as well. But you will simply be in a position where you are not at all AFFECTED in any way.

At the end even the path you choose should not stick to you or you should not get identified with it or say addicted to it.

For eg: you finally TRANSCENDED everything in life but what is the point if "U" still remain.

I mean not to say become extinct but if you have not created enough space between the "unlimited you" and everything else you are including your spiritual prowess (in short you should be able to throw it away just like that and start all over again or least bother as well about your spiritual prowess), then it's a waste.

Even your spirituality should not stick to you.

Off course nothing wrong in others getting inspired, other people helped by following your methods or even criticize your methods but point is are you so stuck to it

Which is the correct religion or spiritual path?

You have asked a very sensible and intelligent question, so keep that in mind.

Opening Address - Chicago, Sept 11, 1893

Sisters and Brothers of America,

It fills my heart with joy unspeakable to rise in response to the warm and cordial welcome which you have given us. I thank you in the name of the most ancient order of monks in the world; I thank you in the name of the mother of religions, and I thank you in the name of millions and millions of Hindu people of all classes and sects.

My thanks, also, to some of the speakers on this platform who, referring to the delegates from the Orient, have told you that these men from far-off nations may well claim the honor of bearing to different lands the idea of toleration. I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance.

We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation which has sheltered the persecuted and the refugees of all religions and all nations of the earth. I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in our bosom the purest remnant of the Israelites, who came to Southern India and took refuge with us in the very year in which their holy temple was shattered to pieces by Roman tyranny. I am proud to belong to the religion which has sheltered and is still fostering the remnant of the grand Zoroastrian nation. I will quote to you, brethren, a few lines from a hymn which I remember to have repeated from my earliest boyhood, which is every day repeated by millions of human beings: "As the different streams having their sources in different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee."

The present convention, which is one of the most august assemblies ever held, is in itself a vindication, a declaration to the world of the wonderful doctrine preached in the Gita: "Whosoever comes to Me, through whatsoever form, I reach him; all men are struggling through paths which in the end lead to me." Sectarianism, bigotry, and its horrible descendant, fanaticism, have long possessed this beautiful earth.

They have filled the earth with violence, drenched it often and often with human blood, destroyed civilization and sent whole nations to despair. Had it not been for these horrible demons, human society would be far more advanced than it is now. But their time is come; and I fervently hope that the bell that tolled this morning in honor of this convention may be the death-knell of all fanaticism, of all persecutions with the sword or with the pen, and of all uncharitable feelings between persons wending their way to the same goal.

Concluding Address -- Chicago, September 27, 1893

The World's Parliament of Religions has become an accomplished fact, and the merciful Father has helped those who labored to bring it into existence, and crowned with success their most unselfish http://labor.My thanks to those noble souls whose large hearts and love of truth first dreamed this wonderful dream and then realized it. My thanks to the shower of liberal sentiments that has overflowed this platform. My thanks to this enlightened audience for their uniform kindness to me and for their appreciation of every thought that tends to smooth the friction of religions. A few jarring notes were heard from time to time in this harmony. My special thanks to them, for they have, by their striking contrast, made general harmony the sweeter.

Much has been said of the common ground of religious unity. I am not going just now to venture my own theory. But if any one here hopes that this unity will come by the triumph of any one of the religions and the destruction of the others, to him I say, "Brother, yours is an impossible hope." Do I wish that the Christian would become Hindu? God forbid. Do I wish that the Hindu or Buddhist would become Christian? God forbid.

The seed is put in the ground, and earth and air and water are placed around it. Does the seed become the earth, or the air, or the water? No. It becomes a plant. It develops after the law of its own growth, assimilates the air, the earth, and the water, converts them into plant substance, and grows into a plant.

Similar is the case with religion. The Christian is not to become a Hindu or a Buddhist, nor a Hindu or a Buddhist to become a Christian. But each must assimilate the spirit of the others and yet preserve his individuality and grow according to his own law of growth.

If the Parliament of Religions has shown anything to the world, it is this: It has proved to the world that holiness, purity and charity are not the exclusive possessions of any church in the world, and that every system has produced men and women of the most exalted character.

In the face of this evidence, if anybody dreams of the exclusive survival of his own religion and the destruction of the others, I pity him from the bottom of my heart, and point out to him that upon the banner of every religion will soon be written in spite of resistance: "Help and not fight," "Assimilation and not Destruction," "Harmony and Peace and not Dissension."
