Page 18 - Towards The Goal Of Beautiful Life

Man's spiritual pursuit, that executing sincerely one's profession is a big temptation, that
worldy life is a bondage and that the world being a mirage, must be renounced. Due to

the influence of such a perverted concept of liberation, Man neglects his duties and
responsibilities towards various aspects of his worldly life, as a result of which he turns

his back towards his material development and prosperity. Similarly, for attaining
liberation, or for realisation of God, or for earning His blessings, Man gets himself

involved in practicing total abstinence (Asceticism) or gets himself trapped in performing
various kinds of rites, rituals, penancial practices and religious observances, as per the

guidance and instructions of so-called religious scholars and elderly people in the family.
All these misconcepts and perverted attitudes of Man towards spiritual and worldly life,

result in conditioning his mind and intellect to develop his individuality according to the
impressions he receives from the society, he lives in. The result is that, his life becomes

chaotic, miserable and unsuccessful. He neither attains spiritual goal nor achieves
success in worldly life. This state of affairs is totally unacceptable to JEEVANVIDYA. In

this context, JEEVANVIDYA makes the following valuable statement :-
"The true concept of liberation is to solve the riddle of life and as such, the

generally accepted concept of liberation as freedom from cycle of birth and death is
totally wrong.''

Just as a student feels overjoyed when he solves a difficult mathematical problem
after trying very hard, similarly Man experiences intrinsic bliss by solving the riddle of life

and attaining the true state of liberation. As stated earlier, any mathematical problem
needs to be solved in a particular manner step by step and the first step in solving that

mathematical problem is very important if the very first step goes wrong, the entire
procedure goes wrong. Similarly, the riddle of life is to be solved by a specific method

and in this method, the very first step to solve the riddle is of great significance. If Man is
able to tackle this first important step correctly, then he can successfully manage the

rest of the steps. It is therefore necessary to analyse in detail, this first important step to
solve the riddle of life.

Human Life is a Kala(a harmonious blend)
The first and foremost problem before Man is "Why does Man take birth on this

earth?" According to JEEVANVIDYA,

"The answer to this question is that Man is born to perform KALA (काला), or to

exhibit artistic creation through a certain process."
