The REAL paths to Success

In this chapter, We shall discuss the various paths that take you to the Destination, the ULTIMATE destination.

Well, Let me say, I might be wrong at some places. Please do excuse me and correct me.
According to the Vedas, there are 3 paths(marg)to Reach God...
1) The Karma Marga(Defines your Deeds)
2) The Bhakti Marga and(Defines Love and Devotion towards the SUPREME)
3) The Dhyana Marga(Defines Meditation and Penance)

The Karma Marga is a Path of Righteousness, believing that our deeds will take us to a different sphere. Yes, it is True. At the end of our Journey called LIFE, god does not ask "What did you Achieve?" Instead HE asks - "What did you do(for others)?"
Just like we have an account here for all our transactions, we have an Account for all our Deeds with the SUPREME. This is the Account that decides your future journey and sphere.
This is similar to the Bank Deposits. It Keeps accumulating or gets used up or goes to Negatives depending on our DEEDS.

It Seems the HUMAN form is the Most Advanced of all forms of LIFE. It has the most Advanced Technology Designed by Mother NATURE(God). And Lo, We tend to Just Throw it away for a mere girl or some kind of Frustration/Issues or Failures.

The Bhakti Marga is the path of Selfless Love, Service and devotion to the SUPREME. This can be easily combined with the Karma in the form of Selfless Service, Voluteering for a Good cause.
Taking part in Prayers, Rituals and Homas, chanting the Lord's Mantras and so on will also take you to a form of Meditation that ENDS at ONE. It does not mean ignoring the rest of the World(atleast not at this Stage). IT means seeing every one as the form of LORD. We are all made up of the Pancha bhootas(The 5 Elements), viz, Air, fire, Water, Earth and Sky. None of us are from a different planet or a different Sphere. So Why hate?
Even if you See Scientifically, We are all made up of Atoms and Molecules, our skin too, the air surrounding us, the Earth we stand on, etc. So we are all interconnected, interlinked by atoms and molecules. So when we harm others, its just like harming a part of our own body.

The Dhyana Marga is the Ultimate and the Real approach to the SUPREME. With Constant MEDITATION, it is possible for us to merge in to the ONENESS. Its just the MIND that is involved. Or rather, tuning and Fine Tuning of the Mind. Our mind is worse than a monkey - Never Stays at one place. Keeps roaming all over the world in minutes. Thats why we do not enjoy Peace and Happiness. Once the Mind is disciplined, Peace is automatically yours.

We all know that we are in the ERA which is heading towards total Destruction and Negativity.
But there is a positive side to it. Just as the DAY has both Brightness and Darkness. There are now a few Forms of Humans who have Decided to Come Back to Earth and Take us to our DESTINATION. They are not the normal Rishi Munis/ Saints/ Priests etc.. But We call them the "SATGURUS" or the "TRUE" form of "GURU". A Few Examples would be like...
... Bhagawan Shri Shirdi Sai Baba
... Bhagawan Shri Satya Sai Baba
... Mata Amritanandamayi Devi(An Embodiment of Goddess Parashakti)
... Sri Sri Ravishankar
... Brahmasri Murali Krishna Swamiji(An Embodiment of Shri Subramanya/Muruga)

All of them teach us LOVE and AFFEECTION. Because that is the first Step.
I Shall now take you to the Journey of Shri Subramanya- The powerful Mantra called - "Saravanabhava" in the Next Chapter....
