WHEN GOD WALKED THE EARTH CHAPTER 1

God visits the earth


Beneath the cloudless sky, God sat relaxed on Sheahnag with Goddess Laxshmi seated besides Him .The milky ocean was crystal clear with many hued lotuses blooming in it ,Goddess Laxshmi was a picture of ethereal beauty .Gold ornaments studded with many a precious gems nestled in her hair ,bosom, waist,arms and feet, these ornaments were mere stars when seen in comparison with the unearthly glow of her golden moon-like face .God on the other hand was an epitome of beauty and grace. He looked as calm as a flower blooming in the moonlight ,His smile smoothed away the cares of everyone who came in His contact because He collected everyone’s tears and woes in the basket of His love and nobody went disheartened from His presence ,everyone’s hearts were filled with love and hope. His eyes brimmed over with love and His smile reached into the centre of ones heart and lit a flame of courage and faith.A radiance lit the whole atmosphere ,it was a wonderous sight full of magic. Narda who had just made his appearance, closed his eyes in ecstasy and let himself be seeped in the magic of the moment .He felt true unadulterated joy and happiness course through his very being and in that joyous moment ,he started dancing with great abandon and singing
Swing with joy
Swing and swing and enjoy
Music is joy
Dance is joy
Joy is happiness ,joy is peace
Swing and dance with joy and enjoy
“I am going”, God pronounced suddenly
Goddess Laxshmi who was lost in the sweetness of the music ,looked at him surprised” where are you going my Lord?”
“I am going to the planet earth ”God replied
“you want to take birth again on the earth?” ,questioned the Goddess.
When God did not reply, she continued,” but you cannot take birth now,you had prophosised that you will agaiu take birth in the age of kali ,but there is still time for the age to come, but then who can come in your way if you are taking birth again then I will come with you ,I cannot allow you to go there alone,I will; follow you as I followed you in your incarnation of Rama and Krishna as Sita and Rukmani ,I cannot remain without you even for a second”
“neither can I remain without you my lord” ,said Sheshnag ”as in your other incarnations I followed you as Laxshmana and Balrama,I will follow you now also ,you cannot leave without me”
“if you take them with you then this time I wont be left behind,I too will follow you” ,said Narada.
“nobody is coming with me” ,God said sternly”I am just going to visit the earth for a few days, you remain here and do your work”
“by the way, why this sudden decision of visiting the earth my Lord?” ,questioned Goddess Laxshmi’
“daily the denizens of the earth come to me crying for help ,everyone seems to be suffering from some problem or the other. I want to go personally and see first hand wether the situation realy is as bad as it is made out to be” ,replied God
“and in what form are you going there ?”asked the Goddess
“I am going there as a human being in a human body because I want to experience first hand everything a humans experiences on the earth ”said God
“and what about your powers? ,you are supreme and you have all the powers in this creation ,what about them ,are you going to use them ?,asked the Goddess
“I am not going to make use of my powers under any circumstances besides all of you listen carefully no one is going to come to my aid under any circumstances no matter in which situation I am caught ,I will solve all the problems I come across myself” ,said God
“you will not be using your powers ,you will not allow us to help you, have you any knowledge how difficult it is to live on earth without any powers ?,asked the Goddess
“whatever you might say, but I want to live on earth like any other human being and like every human I will survive on my own, I have already selected a body,I am going to get into it and leave just now” ,said God
“you are leaving just now”,Goddess Laxshmi asked in an alarmed voice ,and before she could utter another word, a young and a handsome youth stood before her dressed in jeans and t-shirt
“I am leaving” God repeated once again and the nerxt moment he was gone
From heaven or swarglok, God landed on a pomade. God passed the many shops with their exciting display of innumerable goodies and the beautiful apartments with the colors of summer flora exploding brilliantly all around. There was a nip in the air and the atmosphere was cool and refreshing. God was thoroughly enjoying Himself as He was taking in the sights and sounds of the city Suddenly he came upon an outlet selling cheese cakes and waffles, the wonderful aroma assailed His nostrils and He started feeling very hungry .As God stood looking at the goodies ,the man who owned the stall, offered Him a cheese cake .”here have one” ,said the man
“but I have no money” ,replied God
“never mind you just taste this and give me your opinion”.
God took a bite and He exclaimed” delicious ,it is delicious” .God had never tasted such a fare even in heaven ”you have made my day ”,replied the man” since you have liked it, I have a feeling that everyone of my customers will like them” .He had just opened the shop that day and this man standing before him ,munching on his cheesecake and looking at him with His quiet eyes brimming with love ,had lit a spark of courage and hope in him and somehow he knew in his heart that his business would take him places .As God was enjoying His repast,His eyes fell on two awesomely tall buildings in the distance ”what are those buildings? ”God asked the man pointing to the two buildings
“they are known as twin towers, they are the tallest buildings in the world and they are pride of our nation”.
“then I must see them,” ,said God,He thanked the man and went ahead to see the buildings .God stood before the buildings and looked up.Vow they seemed to reach the very heavens .He marveled at the human ingenuinity. He was happy that He had given His creation such brains that they were fast marching towards prosperity. At the rate they were progressing ,a day was not far off when they would reach His dominion .He decided to enter the buildings and see the geeks who worked in them and who seemed more brainy then many denizens of heavens. On entering the towers He could not locate any steps ,then how did one go up ?he asked a passerby who directed him to a big room which went up and down in matter of seconds carrying people. He must make such a contraption in heaven ,much time was lost in commuting over there, this would help all the Gods and Goddesses to save on time .He was happy to see the people busily occupied with their work ,the way they worked it was natural they should progress, if only the denizens in heaven worked so hard ,the world would have been a better place to live in,all the castrataphose happening on the earth were due to the laziness of the heavenly folks. ’After God had seen everything ,he came down and walked out, He must tell Goddess Laxshmi about these folks ,She would be happy to learn about such enterprising people ,He would bring Her here one day and show Her these towers which were marvels of human ingenuity .He had hardly stepped out, when there was a deafening blast ,there was a loud crash and only debris in place of the magnificent buildings .The full atmosphere changed in a moment ,everyone was running ,screaming and shouting,the worst was still to come when the debris caught fire ,thousands of people were trapped and dying by the minute ,it was a harrowing and a grim moment for everyone including God, besides God stood a sad faced young man ”my mother was in there ”,he said almost in a whisper ”my mother came to meet my father who was working in here. She was one of those unfortunate Vietnamese girls who had drawn close to an American soldier deployed to prevent the communists from taking over the south Vietnam. After the northern Vietnam gave a black eye to the USA backed south vietanamese army and compelled the Americans to ship out ,my mother found herself pregnant. I was growing within her,when my father boarded the ship out of Saigon. All my adult life I spent searching for my father ,the only person who could transport me from the miserable third world country to the prosperous and glittering USA. After a long search I found my father through the internet ,I asked for his address .I was besides myself with joy when I found my father .Twice I and my mother tried to reach him ,but always we were caught and deported back .When I told my father about it ,he sent us the required papers to visit him and atlast we were here and then this happened ”,he was quiet for a moment and then looking straight into Gods eyes he proclaimed” God above is heartless ,he has no mercy, I have lost all faith in Him”, then putting his head in his hands he started sobbing uncontrollably
everywhere there was panic ,some were sobbing ,some were pleading to be rescued,everywhere there was mayhem .God didn’t know how to react short of miracle nothing could be done in such a situation .God was without any miraculous powers and therefore was helpless .God could see the young mans mother buried under the debris, she was trapped and God could hear her voice. ”I am trapped I cannot breathe much longer ,please help me otherwise I will surely die”. God decided to help the woman and with bare hands God dug up the debris around her and pulled her out .The young man was besides himself with joy ,he clasped both the Gods hands in his own hands and started kissing them and thanking Him for rescuing his mother. Before the help could arrive, God helped to rescue as many people as He could .Suddenly Goddess Laxshmi appeared before Him ,”my lord don’t you want to know who has committed this heinous crime?”
“who has done this unpardonable vicious act devi I am eager to know” asked God with anger written large on His face.
“your culprits are over there” ,Goddess replied ,pointing out to two masked men who were seated in a car a little distance away from the scene of the crime.
I am happy for you and your creation when I see so many souls helping these people with no motive of gain or greed then I see your face in them,when I see so many loving hands carrying a bruised and a badly hurt body, I see your face in them” ,said Goddess Laxshmi
“you are right devi,the love and affection and concern they are showing for one another makes me happy and I feel that I have truly made the humans in my own image but amongst my loving creation who are these dark forces who are watching with such vicious pleasure this destruction around them?”
“these dark forces are known as terrorists ,the black forces on earth who not only destroy others but also themselves. they are harbingers of all that is evil and today they and their gang is responsible for this wantom destruction ”,before Goddess Laxshmi could finish speaking ,God with long easy strides of a body in a perfect condition reached the car and yanked open the front door .He jumped in besides the driver ”who are you?”, spluttered the man behind the wheels
“I am God”
“God” ,uttered the man derisively and together he and his friend sitting in the back seat of the car started laughing uprouresly .God ignored their laughter and said ”why did you do this, why did you destroy the beautiful buildings? it took years for them to build the marvelous edifices and you,you reduced this beauty to dust within seconds .Do you realize that with these beautiful buildings you have destroyed, you have also destroyed numerous lives, tell me why did you commit this unpardonable crime? ”,God asked in an anguished voice.
“you must put these questions to the super powers who are collectively responsible for this destruction” ,replied the man in the drivers seat” these powers should act like big brothers to everyone in this world, but instead of looking and caring for small brothers ,they destroy them and anhilate them who they feel is competing with them. It started with Afghanistan ,then Iran ,then Palestine, then Iraq the list is endless. How can we take this endless brutality and when we try to give them a doze of their own medicine, they accuse us of religious terrorism ,this way they are trying to split the world on the basis of religion and ethnicity and are trying to drive a wedge between us and other religions of the world ,and in this way the confrontation between different religions will bring about catastrophic consequences”
“instead of destroying each other is there no other solution to your problems?” ,asked God in a grave voice
“the wars the super powers inflict upon us gives rise to poverty which is the main cause of violence ,vice ,extremism and terrorism, once super powers behave ,terrorism will die a natural death
“are you sure this is the only cause for terrorism, the main cause is also religious, you want your religion to rule the world and therefore you are resorting to these terrorist activities, said God.
“who doesn’t want their religion to rule the world? even white men fought numerous wars to propogate their religion”, said the man sitting in the back seat
“do you know the correct interpretation of religion ,asked God,” religion means peace and plenty ,it does not mean fanaticism ,you must dig out religion from its narrow, dark vaults of ignorance and hate and let it come out and shine in its pristine glory ,religion means doing unto others as you would like others to do unto you, true religion means leaving hatred and violence and turning the mind to spiritualism which gives peace and happiness peace and happiness are only things which everyone in this creation from the biggest to the tiniest are after, whole day you run after these things to capture them in your heart ,but violence and hate gets better of you .It is never too early or too late to be spiritual ,it is just the simple question of having the proper mental attitude, spiritualism can be easily achieved by anyone or anybody through selfless service and love for all living creatures which knows no bondage and seeks no boundary” .said God.
“have you finished your sermon? then please leave ”,said the man in the drivers seat
“besides” ,said the man sitting at the back, ”although we want islam to rule the world, but personally speaking we do not believe in religion ,religion is associated with darkness, superstition and irrationality ,only cowards take refuge in religion ,religion can never lead to science, reason and human progress, it is a delusion our work has little to do with religion ,this dance of death and destruction which we are doing is not to bring about ther glory of any religion ,we are fighting for the cause of the oppressed the concept that the English man is the best which was mainly created by them should go and everyone should be treated equally and we will continue to fight for our just cause till the last breath in our body”
“unless you believe in religion you will not be able to fight for justice, if according to you religion is a delusion ,it is a delusion which has a great future .Religion believes in the concept of live and let live,a non-religious person will not be tolerated in any society because promises ,covenants and oaths can have no hold upon an atheist and his future turns hazardous ”,said God
“please we are in a hurry and in no mood to listen to you any longer ,please leave the car or else ”,the man at the wheel said in a threatening voice and before God could reply ,he pushed God out of the car and drove away at great speed .God lay sprawled on the ground, His body was badly bruised, whilst taking on a human body ,God well knew that He had to undergo all the trials and tribulations of a human body-but this pain it was terribly agonizing .At that moment Goddess Laxshmi appeared before Him and helped Him to His feet.” what a fool I was to allow you to take on a human body?. now how will you bear this agonizing pain?:.
“now devi,you are making a mountain out of a mole hill: .God said standing tall” see for yourself I am perfectly alright, a man who cannot bear a little pain is no man at all”
Suddenly a police van approached them ,a policeman got out of the van and looked at him quizzically, ”what is your name? ”,he demanded to know
“God” .God replied simply
“show me your passport and visa”
“and what are these?” ,asked God
“what do you mean what are these? ,you need to have a passport and a visa to visit this place, how come you have landed here without having them,who has brought you here?:,
“I have come here on my own” .replied God
“from which country have you come?”,
:”I have come from Swarglok”.
“now where is Swarglok I have never heard of this place before?”,
“it is up above the clouds: .The policeman looked at Him oddly and asked God to accompany him to the police station. God made a sign to the Goddess who was a silent spectator all this time to leave .Goddess knew that God had got Himself into a great trouble and although she had great faith in His ability to look after Himself ,she knew it would not be easy for Him to get away from the troubles which beset every human being on this earth. At the police station God was taken before the officer on duty. The policeman told the duty officer” this man here I think is a spy, He has no visa and passport and He says He has come from Swarglok ,this place is not mentioned anywhere on the globe”


“young man ” ,the officer on duty addressed God, ”from where have you come?”.
“Swarglok ”,God replied simply
“now where is this Swarglok?”
“it is not on this planet ”,replied God
“are you an alien? but you don’t look like one ”,said the officer, he was silent for a woman appraising God from top to toe then he said” okay what is your name?”
“you have a nice name and you look like a thorough gentleman then why are you without a passport and a visa?”,
“what is a passport and a visa?, asked God
“these two things are of extreme importance if you want to visit any country in the world”
I had created this world for every creation of mine so that everyone lived together and shared the bounties on the earth, ,then why this bifurcation of land ,why this constriction of movement, where was the freedom, the happiness, the enjoyment He had visualized for His creation when He had created this world .God was lost in deep thought
“young man why aren’t you carrying your passport and visa” ,the officer raised his voice in irritation
“I don’t have them ”replied God
“if you don’t have them then you have to go to the lock up ”,the officer called a policeman and him to lock God up
In the lock up God was greeted by Sam a nigger, he got talking to God, ”I am a body packer ”,Sam told God introducing himself
“and what is a body packer?”
“a body packer is a man who transports drugs like cocaine and heroin through his body ,we swallow small packets of drugs and recover them from the other end of the digestive tract to escape detection”
‘but why do you do this? I don’t think it is a good job ”,said God
“it is certainly not a good job ,but it gives big money, these drugs are used by the rich and the famous and once they get addicted to them ,they can cough up any amount dough to get them”
“but why do they take the drugs in the first place?”
“to get a kick out of life why else” ,replied Sam ”they are harmful and addictive therefore they are banned ,in some states carrying and dealing in drugs can sentence you to death, therefore we hace to carry them concealed in our bodies to escape detection”
“you seem to be a very violent man ”,God observed looking at the many scars on his body, ”I am a very peaceful man, but I don’t like the attitude of the police here, for every crime we niggers are the suspects and because of this attitude I become aggressive and things start happening ,since unfortunately I am born a nigger therefore I am a regular here”.
“why are you locked up this time?
“I had a knife fight with an old adversary whom I have known since I was knee high .He is a typical H boy who acts bad and comes on bad and his nickname is python because he is as deadly as a snake ”.A man who was sitting besides them overhearing their conversation, suddenly intervened and asked God wether He was an Indian
“yes, why? ,God questioned him
“I am also an Indian ,do you speak hindi? ”,God nodded His head
“I also speak hindi,I am also an Indian, my name is Harmesh but people call me Harry ,let us speak in hindi, why are you here ?’.asked Harry
“I have no passport and visa ”,said God
“it is a crime to enter any country with out a valid passport and a visa ,if you are lucky they might deport you but if they think you are a spy then you have had it ,they might subject you to third degree to extract information from you”
“what is third degree? ,asked God
“third degree is the torture of the worst kind ,they subject you to so much brutality that you forget your own self you wish you were dead” replied Harry ,on hearing this, God felt His hair standing on end”I advise you to break out of this prison, the police over here is very cruel and sadistic”
“break out of jail?, what is that ?” asked God
“running away escaping ”,replied Harry
“how do you that?, questioned God
“tomarrow early in the morning before everyone wakes up you feign you are very, very sick and I too will fake my illness and whilst they take us to the hospital we will make a break for it”
“is it that easy?, questioned God
“it is not as easy as it seems, but if you are clever and careful you will succeed ,besides I have friends who will help us to escape ,now I must leave otherwise we will raise suspicion” ,Harry said and moved away
Next morning, as God woke up from His sleep .He staggered and fell down with a ghastly pain in the stomach. The stabbing stomach pain was so intense that He couldn’t help moaning .Sam who was sleeping besides Him woke up with a start on hearing God moaning ,he put his arm around God ,made Him sit up and asked Him what was wrong with Him, ”I have terrible pain in the stomach” ,God cried out in agony. Sam rushed to the door of the cell and shouted to the policeman on duty ,he came hurrying to the cell and seeing God’s agony he immediately sent for a doctor. Harry thought that according to their plan God was feigning illness and therefore he too started moaning in pain .When the doctor arrived ,he examined both of them and recommended that they both be shifted to a hospital immediately .An ambulance was called and they were both put in the ambulance and were taken to the hospital
On the way, the driver got down to relieve himself and the few accompanying policeman got down to refresh themselves ,seeing the golden opportunity ,quickly and stealethly Harry climbed behind the steeringWheel of the ambulance and fled from the spot at tearing speed, he drove for some miles and when he thought they were beyond the reach of the police ,he stopped the ambulance and got down ,when he saw that God was not making any effort to get down, he got irritated and shouted at Him. ”come on man get down ,we have very little time ,if we do not get going they are going to catch up with us”
“I cannot get down ,I am very sick”
“are you really sick ?”,asked Harry
“yes ”,said God in a barely audible voice
“I am sorry I thought you were faking it according to the plan I had discussed with you, therefore I too faked my own illness ,but you must be a brave man and get down and walk because we have a long way to go,I am sure you can do it, you look brave and strong”, Harry said in an encouraging voice
“no doubt I am brave and strong but sickness can take its toll on the strongest man on earth ”,replied God
God got down with great difficult and weakly he started walking with him ”where are we going from here?, questioned God
“we are going to India ,my friends have made all the arrangements for us ,let me just make a call .Harry made a call on his cell phone to his friends who told him that they had booked two seats for them in a cargo ship which was moored at the docks and which was about to leave with in an hour ,since God couldn’t walk ,Harry made Him sit on his shoulders and carried Him to the docks ,to his amazement he did not feel a slight discomfort whilst carrying God, because God sat as lightly as a feather on his back
At the docks ,Harry was met by his friends who gave them the tickets and asked them to behave on the ship and not raise any suspicion since ordinary people were not allowed on a cargo ship .His friends had especially requested the ships captain who was a distant relative of one of them to take both of them to India since here their life was in great danger. Harry thanked his friends and along with God besides him they walked through the gangway leading them from the dock to the ships deck

WHEN GOD WALKED THE EARTH CHAPTER 2
God escapes from the prison and boards a ship to Bombay

Everyone on the ship from the captain to the cook to sailors ate only non - vegeterian food but God was completely and purely vegetarian ,there were no vegetables and fruits on the ship except rice and lentils ,He was given a portable stove and some rice and lentils to prepare His own food Since God didn’t know hot to cook,he sat forlornly looking at lentils and rice with His stomach rumbling with hunger. .Seeing His condition Goddess Laxhmi appeared before Him and handed Him a sheet of paper
\”what is this?’ ,God asked the Goddess
“this is a recipe for preparing khichadi which is made with rice and lentils ”,replied the Goddess
“thanks a lot, I was famished devi,thanks once again for giving me this recipe ,from where did you get it?”, asked God
“I went on the internet and copied this recipe for you ”,replied the Goddess
“get me some recipes ,I don’t know when I will need them again ”,said God
‘are you going to stay here permanently ?”,asked the Goddess
“no, no devi how you got this idea? ”,asked God
“because you are demanding more recipes ”,said the Goddess
“I have just come on the earth a few days ago ,let me stay here for some time till I get to understand completely what is ailing the humans ,now devi I must cook my food I am famished” .God followed the instructions for preparing khichadi and cooked it so lovingly that the whole atmosphere was enveloped in a wonderous aroma ,Goddess too wanted to share His food since She loved the enticing and delicious aroma of the cooked khichadi ,as God was sitting down to eat ,His eyes fell on a lonesome sailor who was sitting on the deck looking listlessly at the sea. All the other sailors had gone to eat except this sailor .God felt sorry for him,he asked him in a concerned voice, ”why aren’t you eating ?are you not well?”, The man made no reply”aren’t you hungry?”,God asked again .Again the man gave no reply” what is wrong with you?” ,God persisted
“nothing” ,the man replied and got up to leave
“wont you tell me, may be I can help” ,said God in a kind voice. For the first time, the sailor looked at God and the dominant feeling in him was of reverence ,His eyes were full of knowledge shining like the fresh morning dew. ”I have lost everything in an earthquake which attacked my town ,before our ship left for India I received a letter from a friend telling me about the disaster which has come in my life ,I do not know why has this suffering visited me, I am such a God fearing man,I visit temple daily when I am in my home town and every morning I say my prayers before leaving for work ,then why me? ”,asked the sailor
“this material world which you perceive with your five senses is full of distress, misfortune and sickness ,these ordeals which have come upon you are incurred by you due to your karmas of your previous birth .People are bound by their past ,present and future karmas which they must carry as a cross as they walk along the road of life ,the bad and the good deeds of your past karmas will appear in your life continuously and you have to accept them humbly.
A earthquake and a flood, a typhoon ,a cyclone ,a sunami are unpredictable ,when they strike, they strike everyone irrespective of caste and creed ,rich or poor. Most of the people are heart broken ,many lament their fate ,but a few set about rebuilding their lives with hope and enthusiasm ,so long there is life one should not lose hope and you should be prudent enough not to make your physical possessions your only source of joy because you have come on this earth without any possessions and you will depart without any possessions, you can live on this earth without any material possessions ,but you cannot live without faith, trust and hope in God .Have faith in God and everything will come good for you, everything He does is for your own good ,how do you know that from now on your life will not take a turn for the better ”,said God Just then a sailor came running on the deck and told him that there was a call for him from his friend in India ,his friend who had written to him about the earthquake was on the line I have some good tidings for you ,your wife and children are safe and the icing on cake is that your rich father –in -law has forgiven your wife for marrying you against his wishes and he has gifted her a flat in the posh locality of the town and now when you return you will live like a prince, your days of struggle my friend are over” .The sailor could not believe his good luck ,he would no longer live in the chawal in a match box room with no privacy and no amenities, his wife who belonged to a rich family and had left everything for the love of him, and he had never been able to give her any wordly possessions except his love and she too loved him to distraction, they regarded each other with reverence and regularly prayed to God to keep their love alive, both of them were simple unselfish persons .The sailor could not contain his happiness ,he ran up to the deck to share the good tidings with God .God was eating food in the company of Harry” I feel famished can I have some food? ”, sailor asked God .God filled a plate with khichadi and handed it over to him. After eating a mouthful which felt like the taste of heaven to him,he said ”you just told me that everything happens for the best, you were right. My friend just now gave me the news that my family was not only safe but my father-in-law has presented my wife with a new flat All these days I was very unhappy because I couldn’t even provide her with a decent place to stay ,but since the chawl was destroyed in the earthquake her father who had disowned her for marrying me against his wishes, had a change of heart and accepted her back and he also made sure that she stayed in a place worthy of her, I love my wife very much and I am very happy today”
“I am also very happy for you, you learn most about life from difficult situations. pain is a teacher and setbacks are a highway to success” ,said God
soon a word spread around the ship that a wise man was on the ship who not only cooked simple food like khichadi which tasted like ambrosia but who also spoke words of wisdom, which fell like shining pearls from His mouth therefore He became known as the enlightened one
Very soon all the sailors would crowd around Him on the deck and watch Him cooking and soon everyone wanted to share His khichadi with Him. Every night after dinner all would gather on the deck and under the star studded sky they would sit together and hear God speaking words of wisdom, everyone had questions whose answers they were dying to know and these questions were put to God the sailors had many questions which troubled their minds and God answered them one by one

What is the man’s duty on this earth?”,

You will never understand your duty on this earth so long you are preoccupied with worldly position like fame ,money ,property and social esteem, if you can detach yourself from thinking about these mundane things then these desires will never make their home in your mind, the appearance of desire in the mind causes the fall of man, no man can resist the compelling charm of desires rising in the bosom, soon you are chained to your desires quite forgetting that these selfish desires can lead you to hell .It will be a grevious mistake for any human being to believe that he can live in sin through out his life and still find entry in heaven when he leaves this earthly body by paying priests to conduct prayers for him, every human being born on earth has to polish his soul and lead a righteous life to fulfill his duty as a human being,it is your duty to be of service to God and to human beings and other God’s creatures then only you deserve to be called a human being ”,said God

“why does a man sin?

Sin is not the nature of man, it is only the tarnish that has for the time being reduced the brilliance of his soul due to error of judgement on the part of the individual. The craving of the mind and the intellect to live under the sway of worldly desires
is the root cause of sin, he is called a sinful person who lives only to satisfy his bodily demands, the body becomes his dominant partner and enslaves him for life’ ,his whole life is spent running after the satisfaction of his sensual desires ,such a person is no better then a beast because he leads the life of an animal .If such a person does not break the vicious chain of desires ,he is then digging his own grave which will give him neither peace nor happiness ”,replied God

What is virtue ?

Pap is sin, punya is virtue to be virtuous you must do unto others as you would want them to do unto you ,if you want others not to hurt you ,then you should never hurt any one, if you want others to help you ,you should always extend a helping hand to everyone, if you do not want to be robbed by others ,never try to rob others of their belongings. Hurting others by words or deeds is a sin, helping people in their bad times is virtue ,that action which makes you happy is virtue ,that action which makes you feel ashamed and repentant is sin, that action after doing which gives you joy, happiness, peace is virtue and that action which gives rise to depression, restlessness and unhappiness is sin ,service to God and humanity is virtue, creating unhappiness and restlessness and chaos around you is sin .Loving is virtue hating is sin, that which makes you proud is virtue ,that which makes you ashamed is sin” ,God replied


“why is there so much unhappiness, misery and hatred in the world ,why everyone hates each other and why do people want to kill one another both mentally and physichally?’

The fault lies with mother who gives birth to the child ,the child starts developing in the womb from the third week on wards to six months when his mind starts developing and in the eighth month his brain starts developing and at this time, the child starts absorbing everything around himself most of the mothers read and watch crime ,sex and sleaze on television the child absorbs all these things and everything she feels –the unhappiness. the hatred and the misery all these bad qualities seep down to the child because the basic development of the child starts in the womb and what he learns in the womb he imbibes when he is born as a person and therefore there is so much misery ,hatred and unhappiness in the world” ,was the answer of God

Is there no salvation for a sinful man?

“there is salvation for even the worst sinner on earth but he should leave his sinful past behind and should start a new life of meritorious actions which will destroy his wantom desires and create new impressions in his mind and in the long run the patterns of sins will be wiped our and the gates of heaven will again be open to him. A human life is empty without an objective ,every human has to follow some objective and that should be working towards peace, happiness and joy then only man’s life becomes worth living ”,said God.

“why do people die?

A person who is born is bound to die, death accompanies you like a shadow at the time of a man ‘s birth ,death is very important to take the soul up the evolutionary ladder .The body is prone to disease and decay and no human would like to stay in a body which becomes useless after a time ,therefore God has made death to deliver humans from rotting bodies and put them in new bodies
The world is changing every moment, every creation of God lives in a process of change and change means death to the previous state of existence , a human being suffers death at every stage of life ,when the baby is dead ,he becomes a child ,when the child is dead ,he becomes a young man and when the young man is dead ,his place is taken by an old man a man dies at every stage of his life ,death is therefore the only eternal truth in this world”. Was Gods reply.

If the end is death ,then why should a man work?”.

If a man does not work he will sink himself into inactivity and into unproductive state of existence ,the entire universe sustains itself through activity, even God works continuously to bring joy and happiness to His creations ,if God did not keep on actively serving His creation the harmonious progress of His creation would come to an end and the entire universe would come tumbling down, same is the case with human beings if a person stops working and is idle ,he will bring disaster upon himself because without working, he will have no money and without money he will have neither shelter ,food or clothing and without these basic necessities of life a man cannot survive on this earth” ,God said

Is death the end of one’s existence?

“death is certainly not the end” ,replied God” physical body is the temporary housing of the soul ,with death you take on a new body ,it is as simple as changing your old dress and getting into a new one. Death serves many functions –it provides release from the burden of the flesh, it provides release from suffering and disease above all, it provides an opportunity to reach a higher state of evolution

“what happens when a person dies?”.

When a person dies angelic beings gather round him and assist the soul on his onward journey” ,said God

“do all souls reach their destination with the help of angelic beings?”.

“almost all the souls reach their destination ,but people who die unexpectedly through an accident ,war or suicide cannot fathom what has occurred, these poor souls cannot take possession of their physical body again because the soul has already existed from the body and once this has occurred ,the soul cannot take the possession of its physical body again, because with the soul ,the consciousness also leaves the body and the body starts disintegrating .The soul just does not realize that it no longer is the part of the body, inspite of a disintegrating physical form .the soul frantically tries to go back into the body till the body is not put to rest ,but in some cases even when the body is put to rest, the realization does not dawn on the soul that it has lost its body forever and therefore it stays close to the place where the body is put to rest, this is where you get your ghosts which are either in the graveyards or the old haunts of their physical life”,was the reply of God


“why do even small children die who have not even opened their eyes to the world?’

A persons past karma selects a time and a place when an individual should leave this earthly body ,it could be in a very small age or in a ripe old age, whatever time its past karma decides the soul leaves the body for its onward journey and God has no part to play in it:” ,was Gods reply


“why are some people born as geniuses and show signs of greatness from childhood?

When a person dies he gathers all his experiences of his life wether as a doctor, scientist, singer or dancer and starts preparations to return once more in a new body ,and in this new body he makes further progress in the work he had left unfinished in order to achieve complete success, therefore if a person was a renowned scientist or a singer he will start working towards his chosen goal from childhood itself therefore he is known as a genius”, was Gods answer

“why are some people born with a golden spoon and some in abject poverty, why is God partial to some and uncaring to others?”.

A person takes birth according to his past karmas ,what ever you do on this earth wether good or bad is credited to your bank account and you will neither get more then what you have credited to your account neither will you be cheated with a small amount ,you will receive whatever you have collected in your account. If in your previous birth you were wicked ,bad and a scoundrel then you will get birth in abject poverty, and if you were good ,kind and saintly then you will get birth in a wealthy and princely family, a person who gets a good birth should understand that he is fortunate due to the good deeds he had done in his last karma and on no account he should fall from his righteous path if he wants always to be born in a good family self control ,love ,wisdom and grace are a means to overcome your many problems on this earth ,one who cannot live a righteous life in the present will come to grief in the future, because future is the product of your past and present .There are seven planets in the universe and on the higher planets only the pious and holy men are given birth, on these planets there is no misery ,hatred and disease .Six months on earth is equal to one day on these planets, on these planets life time of a human being lasts for ten thousand years .When the fruits of the man’s pious activities expire he is given birth again on earth in fortunate homes which consist of rich and pious people” ,was the answer of God

Everyone present on the ship were happy in God’s company because God made everyone feel good about themselves, they felt enhanced because He solved all their problems when they felt lost and confused besides God gave them strength even in their darkest moments ,His mere presence gave hope to them and gave them a sense of security ,no one knew how the days flew by and then one final day the ship reached the Bombay harbor and it was time to bid goodbye to God ,everyone of the sailors had fallen in love with God, the captain of the ship whilst bidding goodbye to God with tearful eyes proclaimed that in his entire career he had not come across such a calm ocean and such a wonderfully happy journey. With sadness in their hearts the ships crew bid farewell to God after extracting a solemn promise from God that He would keep in touch with them.
