Divine Intervention

It seems not all are at once ready for 'attainment' or 'liberation', mukti, moksha. Each one of us are at different stations in journey of life. some have started early and some late.; those who started early may be nearing the end of their journey.Many have to end till the last, the 'dooms day'! However, there may come a day when his/her life is shattered, shaken from slumber and dreams of this make-believe world and taken out of the rut, the mundane! They suffer a lot, no doubt, but that is the last suffering. There will be no more problems. Many may not return to this death-knell, 'mrutyu loka', by the grace of the Lord. Nobody knows how this turning point comes in the life of a jive. We, as humans, live in a mysterious world. There are invisible force governing our existence. There are a number of subtle aspects such as atomic energy, gravitation,solar radiation, electromagnetic forces, light, heat, sound, waves and vibration of innumerable types like x-rays, alpha, beta, theta, gamma, infra-red, ultra-violet rays seven colors, etc. Each and every one of these, separately and collectively influence our body health, mental health, thoughts and ideas, images, imagination and dreams and our struggle for achieving dreams, success and failures. The Vedic texts and agama shastra have dealt with these in great detail. We have got very few published works on these. The Ahirbudhnya samhita, the Jayakhya, the Lakshmi Tantra, Narada samhita, and a few others are available in print. The scientists are also working on these aspects. What exactly happens in a jiva's life from birth to death, rather from conception to depart from the embodied state? Who decides what in the life of a jiva. Is it luck, destiny, vidhi or karma, purva-punya or some invisible hand called adrushtha? Do the distant stars and planets of our solar system affect our life? What radiation waves affect our body cells and create, mould or shape our body, mind and thoughts, actions and the consequent karmaphala? All these are mysterious. These secrets can be visualized and explained by yogins who take to serious penance, askesis, tapas. We have some secrets revealed in the Gita, as told by Bhagavan Shree Krishna to Arjuna. We have given some clues in these blogs. But not all will ever be able to understand them. What prevents from even attempting to know these may be the karma. Karma is a very strong force by itself! Not all can become yogins, drushtara, or rishi. There comes a turning point in every jiva's life when the tormented jiva seeks solace at the feet of the Lord. The Lord takes pity on the jiva and redeems it. This is 'Divine intervention'.
