Does God Have Sons and Daughters?

Does God have sons? Or for that matter, daughters, lest otherwise it may antagonize some feminists!

Before I try to give an answer to that question on the basis of my own understanding so far, let me apologize with this disclaimer: 

I am no authority on this subject nor I possess any proven credentials to provide any undisputed opinions, except that I am fortunate of being with a little advanced information from a great book of truth revelations which I honestly believe as coming from supernal sources, about which I had repeatedly declared through several of my blog articles published in this site.

But then several of my contemporaries in our world today do not seem to believe honestly in the concept of God. For them, the world and the universe is as a result of some random accident that could well be explainable by the so-called science, if not now, at some time later!

On the other hand, there are billions who believe with their own ideas and concepts about God. Several among them apparently seem to be in a mindset that cause them to think of a primary duty to protect and safeguard the interest of their own god or gods, rather than the other way round! Some seem to think that God is responsible for all misfortunes and it is necessary to keep trying to please God always to offset all the misfortunes and ill fates of life! There are people who keep praying , worshiping and doing all kinds of rituals for receiving many kinds of favors from God.

The confusions about God for those who are believers have been so great that a few among them do not hesitate to indulge in much inhuman savagery and violence in the name of God causing much distress to many others! 

That prompted me to write about God, knowing pretty well the difficulty of writing some finite words about an infinite and eternal existence!

And now, I try to venture to express my understanding a bit further by trying to write about the sons and daughters of God!

For those like me, who are believers in God and in the concept of the divine creation of the universe and life forms, all intelligent life forms that got divinely created are sons and daughters of God, when we talk about it in a very general way.

But in the very beginning, in the remotest eternal times, God was the sole living entity. There was God over his domain of power and nothing else! In those eternal times, God was not yet a creator nor a father. God was a solitary power existence with abundant future potentials! God was neither male or female, nor was any material energy! Yet, in God everything contained for future manifestations!

At some time later in those eternal times, a sequence of creative acts got initiated by God, that culminated in the formation of innumerable creations, both living and non-living, all getting formed in eternity in non-material energy and life forms.

In a sequence, there is a first event. The first ever living, non-material living being that came to existence in the likeness of the original God, can now be designated as the eternal son God to differentiate this entity from the original eternal entity whom we may now designate as the eternal father God.

Then comes the act of the first delegation of power ever in the non-material eternal universe wherein the father God delegates several powers so far vested with him to the new divine entity that emerged from him. The father-son divine duo then began to associate to continue with the acts of the future eternal creations. The second person of this divine duo too was neither male or female, but both of them contained the qualities of both male and female characteristics that emerged later in the creative chains.

At some very  advanced eternal creative sequence of non-material creativity acts of both living and non-living  beings and things, there emerged a beginning time where in the material universe that we understand was initiated to be formed.

Time and space as we understand came to exist from this point onward. The creation of the material universe was as a result of a creative effort of the non-material beings that got in to existence in the non-material space earlier in the creation sequence controlled by God the father and his immediate divine sons. 

Matter and energy that the material universe needed for its formation was drawn from the infinite non-material energy that already existed. The non-material energy remained as unresponsive to all material things and beings for all ordinary purposes, though it was the source of energy and existence.

In a similar manner, material life forms and beings got created in the material universe in a sequential by the action of non-material intelligent beings who worked to create those. 

Life and mind came directly from the non-material realm and these were superimposed on material bodies of material life forms and beings in a manner perfectly controlled by the non material intelligent beings delegated with various kinds of powers for the creation and maintenance of the universe systems so created.

Material beings could understand the mechanisms of their bodies by the life and mind that worked in their body systems, but miserably failed to decipher life and mind, because these two have not been part of the material systems to which their bodies belong. To decipher those, they are required to enhance their delegated mind powers beyond their material existence, a requirement many of them find as difficult while they pursue their day to day chores of finite material living.

We, humans too are created by the divine will of God by the creative acts of the divine sons and therefore can well be considered as sons of daughters of God. But we exist in the farthest ends of the creative sequence chain in a realm that is pretty different in form as compared to those in the beginning of the chain.

For the time being we are finite beings unlike those beings in the beginning of the creative chain who are infinite and are nearer to the father God.

But the first source and center of every thing, the father God and his immediate divine sons who are his immediate creative associates, have some purpose for all these kind of creative acts.

No big intelligence is needed to understand that. The source of supreme intelligence is any way more wise than us and he will not do things without any purpose.

It is also not very difficult to decipher that purpose, provided we do have a desire and eagerness to know.

But that does not mean that we question the wisdom of father God and his immediate divine sons and derive our own foolish conclusions.

But as daughters and sons of the very same father God, we have great responsibilities in this vast universe.

The most important responsibility is to ensure peace and harmony in the father's home, the universe. And it should begin in our own homes, communities, nations and world.

For that we need to learn to respect and love our own sisters and brothers, whether they live in our homes or elsewhere in this world!

Just as we, they too are sons and daughters of the same father God. If we say we are not, then it is another matter altogether!

Dear Men and Women of Earth! Would You Like to Hear the Story How We Designed You Originally?

[*A Letter to All Humans]

Dear Children of Earth!

Many of you might be wondering about how at all you came into existence in the planet earth that you are living now. Perhaps many of you do not have time to think about such things. Perhaps many of you are so pre-occupied with your daily chores of living that you are least concerned. 

Perhaps many among you are happy to imagine that you are great great grandson and grand daughters of Adam and Eve whom God crafted out from the soil and brought into life magically by his divine breadth as told in some of your sacred books. But let me make this clear to you now. This story is a mix of some facts with more imaginations by some of your ancestors who were not so intellectually mature to understand God. When you calculate the times from the historical events provided in your Bible, you may be forced to think that Adam and Eve were created only some 6000 years ago. But now it is becoming difficult for you to digest it because your scientists now tell you that human beings were formed on earth millions of years ago. Are you not getting confused? Incidentally, Adam and Eve were real and they lived on this earth some 38000 years ago. But they were not the first humans of earth. 

A few of you think that you are evolutionary ancestors from some single cell living organisms that got developed by some automatic, random accident of the past. That was the theory of evolution as postulated by some of your modern day scientists that you now know as the Darwin's theory. But dear children, I would like to tell you some thing very clearly. You are not children of some natural accidents or some random events that had taken place in the remote past.

You are all made for some purpose by us with the approvals of the Supreme Designer of the Universe whom many of you might call as Almighty God. I am one among the many involved with the creation of the first human on earth and therefore I know what I speak. I know with your current nature, you have decided to leave this page without reading ahead as you have decided this writing as some work of some insane human. 

But wait, read on to get the clear picture. I assure you, you will know many things. Do not be under the impression that all of your own fellows too are as ignorant as you. Of course, this page is typed out for you by a human being. But it is being provided on our behalf from the information that we had provided a couple of decades ago to all humans beings. 

You are all children of God, because you have been designed and given life to live and prosper on your material planet that you call as earth by none other than the Almighty God, whom we prefer to call as our Universal Father God.

Just like you, we are also children of the same God. At present, we are a bit superior to you in our knowledge and capabilities and perhaps life. We do not have material bodies like you, but surely we have some other kind of bodies about which it is difficult for you to understand now. But we are individual personalities like you. All of us were created long ago by our superiors in accordance with the plans of Almighty God. Normally we do not face death as you know about that word. That way, you may consider us as immortals. We are just one kind of immortals among the several kinds that exist in this universe. 

But we are not gods. All immortals are not gods, but a few who are very near to Almighty God are surely divine and for all practical purposes may be considered as God Himself by those below them. Because, their thoughts and actions are perfect and would be the same as that of God Almighty. God Almighty is surely the Father of the Universe because from him originated all others, either directly or indirectly. God Almighty is also the source of all energies in the Universe. 

You can call us Life Carriers [ജീവ വാഹകര്‍, जीव वाहक ]. 

As the name indicates, we are the designers and carriers of material life in the universe. We are in innumerable numbers throughout this universe. We are the ones who design the material living beings that you know as living beings such as those micro organisms, plants, animals including you, humans. 

We only act on behalf of God or the authorized divine head responsible for material creation. For material creation and administration, the vast universe is divided in to convenient smaller units of space that we call as a local universe region. But the designs that we adopt are based on some life design patterns provided to us by our superior divine authorities. 

Incidentally, your local universe is one among millions of such regions that now exist in the whole universe. But mind you, your local universe too is too vast and incomprehensible for you human beings. 

Your local universe consists of a good majority space of what you now know as the Milky Way galaxy with millions of material creations such as stars, planets and other space bodies. They are all made out of non-material energy. The fundamental unit that makes up your matter is what we would like to introduce to you as an Ultimaton which is much smaller than the electron that you know now. About 100 ultimatons make up one electron. Some of your scientists have understood the possibility of this and are in search of proving its existence by calling it as 'the God's particle'. Will they believe in God when they prove it beyond doubt? 

Your local universe is one of the latest such universes because it is still getting developed of material creations and thus not yet fully finished. Yet your universe-we want you you to identify it by the name, Nebadon- has more than 3.8 million planetary worlds just like your earth. In due course of time this would reach as high as 100 million. 

In all these worlds  people like you are already living, most of them are much more advanced than you.  

For administrative simplicity all these worlds are grouped in to various systems of worlds. Each system of worlds has a maximum of 1000 worlds. 

Your system has now around 619 such worlds. Your earth is number 606. There are many other planets which are in the advanced state of life creation. Life Carriers like me are now working in those planets for establishing either primitive life or trying to create advanced species from the primitive ones. 

But remember this. All planets are not suitable for material biological life. Even in your own solar system, out of the several planets, your earth is the one with life now. 

Dear Children of earth! Your problem is that you cannot see us. But living beings like me are present in your world watching you progress slowly, generation after generation. We are listening to your arguments and your theories about God. We are also enthusiastically observing the way some of you are discovering some of the  universal laws of God as your laws of nature or laws of your science. 

We feel happy when you make advancements in your material life and your material discoveries. We don't interfere in your life or works. That is the mandate for us from our superiors. We were permitted to make suitable modifications in the genetic codes of your animal predecessors till such time the first humans with intelligence got developed. It is difficult for you to watch our ancient acts now. But some of your scientists are capable of studying fossils and develop their theories using their intelligence that we had so painstakingly developed for you, humans.

When we establish intelligent life in any planet which evolved out of cosmic actions (there are others who are in control of those events) we call it an evolutionary world. We call it evolution because, the developments take place slowly according to your standard of time measurement. It happens in thousands of generations of your time. But since we are immortals it is not a big issue for us. 

Perhaps some of your scientists know how to change the character of special purpose single cell living organisms which you call as bacteria in your laboratories. They know that bacteria with special capabilities develop after several generations of bacterial colonies evolve under varying conditions in the laboratory. We consider your progress in a similar way. If our Universal Father God permitted us, we could have fastened your development or designed you in a different manner. Not that God prevents us from doing such things everywhere, all the time. We have certain liberties in the creation of material life which we may use occasionally. 

But nonetheless, we are none to question God's wisdom. We are children of God who simply work according to His will, even when He had given us a free will. And remember this, He had given that free will to every of his creation, even for you, humans as well. Our Universe Father does not like His children to be like programmable robots that some of your engineers are trying to create. 

So, we do work according to the instructions and approvals that we receive from our superiors. You too by this time know how organizations work for achieving large tasks. In a similar way, we also work. Team work is often a desirable universe phenomena. God wants that every individual to be a helping hand to every other! God does not approve selfishness, greed and the desire for controlling others!

It is perhaps difficult for you to understand our work. First you cannot see us. You cannot visualize us because we exist in a different energy realm. But because we exist that way, it is possible for us design biological molecules including their nuclei and the genetic codes. But remember this too. You humans also have difficulties to understand the works that your own fellows are doing. For example, many of you do not know how your own computer systems work. If you are master of one field, you may be zero in many other fields. But collectively you could achieve many things. Collective work and continuous progress is what God wants from every one. Laziness is not approved by God, but rest and recreation is allowed for all, for you as well as us.

Our work is also not very different from yours. We also work collectively for achieving some common goals. Of course, we have some abilities and capacities superior to you. But all those who have greater abilities and capacities have greater responsibilities as well. 

Our first team was sent to your earth some 600 million years ago. The purpose of that team was to assess the conditions of your evolving planet for initiating some primary form of life.

Just as you use local materials for building your homes and other things, we too are at liberty to select our own base materials to design the biological systems of life that are suitable for that particular planet. 

For your world, earth, our team selected the Sodium Chloride pattern of life system because of its abundant availability. The life protoplasm that we had selected for earth can only function in a suitably made salt solution. We designed and created the first living cell living in the salt solution of the vast waters of ancient earth. Even now, all protoplasm of all living cells contain the very same saline solution.

After the preliminary inspection visit, our team returned to earth some 550 million years ago to design and plant the first unicellular life in the briny waters of earth available at that time. We did it with the help of other divine associates who help us in many different ways.

And by 500 million years ago, primitive marine vegetable life was well established on your earth by us. We initiated the process for transition of vegetable life to primitive animal life some 450 million years ago by making suitable modifications in some selected cell genetics of some marine plants. Both marine vegetation and marine animal life became well established by 400 million years ago.

We kept observing these lives for millions of years and making certain changes occasionally for the evolution (controlled evolution under our superintendence) of new species in phases of millions of years. All this was being carried out according to the physical environmental changes that had been taking place on earth.

Slowly progressing like this we had finally developed the first humans from some advanced type of tree dwelling animals some 10 million years ago on your earth. They were your original human ancestors. From them, you have multiplied and progressed in large numbers establishing your civilizations and cultures on earth. We have been watching your progress with much interest.

We had given much more detailed information about these for those of you who are interested. In fact we had given all these information almost a century ago at a time when the majority of you were not in a position to understand all these. Your average scientific knowledge were in a very preliminary level at that time. But that was the time when your civilization entered the era of science and technology in a big way. Many of the scientific discoveries as you know now took place at that time.

We are happy that some of your present day scientists have verified most of these by their own independent scientific studies, more or less accurately. 

But acquisition of knowledge is not a very interesting thing for many of you humans who are still in the primitive levels of existence. As designers of your biologic bodies, we know your handicaps leading to development of such non-uniform capabilities among different individuals. Animal tendencies are mechanisms that we had provided for survival of the species. Food, procreation, self defense, and survival of the fittest are some of those initial animal instincts which are essential for material life to survive and progress. 

At the same time you are also provided with some thought faculties for knowledge, creativity, curiosity, god awareness, communication, intuition, etc. Remember, these qualities were not provided to your animal cousins. These are the things that make you different from your animal ancestors. These are the qualities that make you human. The more you enhance these, the more you are human! But that migration from animal to human has to be done by your own efforts. That is the desire of God. Each one of you have enough capacity to accomplish that. But the choice is yours only!

Since you have been designed by making step by step changes in your biological cells and physiology from the original single cell plant and the later animal, you do have some characteristics of all these in your bodies. But your brains as now evolved by our efforts are really much more efficient than your super computers. It has both inbuilt programs as well as external reception systems. When all these work together, every human being gets a unique personality. 

And that unique personality by body and mind is a creation of God (yes, we and others like us might have worked for God in accordance with His plans to make it possible). Therefore every one of you is a child of God. But God has innumerable kinds of children with varying abilities for various purposes.

And remember, you are not alone on earth. Our Universal Father God is infinite and yet He cares for all of His creations, high and low. He has definite purposes for every one. It is not very difficult to understand it if you devote a bit time thinking about and requesting God to give guidance in your life. The Almighty Father God has incredible systems by which He knows the thoughts of all His creations! He has also an incredible system by which the whole of the universe is maintained and administered!

Dear men, women of earth. You are our little cousins. You are destined for bigger tasks in the future if you live according to the plans of God. You are also destined to meet us and all your senior cousins some time in the future. You would also learn more about the estates of your Heavenly Father in due course.

Your bodies would get destroyed after a few years of life on this earth. Because, you cannot travel to distant worlds which are located and separated by several light years with your material bodies. For that you need a body that is not material, similar to our bodies which exist in another energy realm. In due course, you will get one of that kind. Perhaps many bodies suiting to your requirements from time to time! One day in the distant future, many of you might also be in the infinite presence of our Universe Father!

For all those among you, who have learnt to live like real human beings and not like your animal cousins, there exist a potential chance for surviving your material death. There are invisible personalities around you who observe your life carefully whether you, under the given circumstances, used your God-given faculties properly to live like a child of God or not. If so, you have a glorious immortal future. That I assure you on behalf of our superiors.

But remember this too. Doing your so-called religious rituals may not help you. God is not concerned with your religion or its rituals. He is concerned with how you used your God given abilities and capacities wisely to serve others, according to your abilities and capacities. When you discard your negative animal tendencies willfully, you are becoming a desirable human child of God. That way you become eligible to become an eventual universe citizen. When you master over your negative animal qualities, you would naturally know God and know how to live according to the will of God. Otherwise, I am sorry to tell you, your life would only be worthy to be considered as that of the animals and plants, suitable only for a short material life in this earth! God does not like such a situation. He does not like to lose any of His children. But when His children willfully opt self destruction, He is perhaps helpless by His own universal laws.

It is foolish to think that you can fool God by doing all kinds of undesirable acts and thoughts always and get His pardon by repenting every now and then. Such an arrangement may be good for some of your ignorant leaders for their own short term gains or satisfying their egos by dominating others. Remember, it is neither good for them nor for all those ignorantly follow them.

God Almighty is indeed the Almighty and He does not need your money, sacrifices or material offerings. He knows the thoughts of all men and women and therefore understands who is good at heart. He knows who really loves Him by heart. And all among you who love God inherently know the ways of living just fully according to the will of God. Such among you would use their God given faculties of wisdom to live a purposeful life according to the will of God. Most importantly, they would learn and know how to discard their egos, their greed and their desire to control others. They learn and realize the true meaning and importance of service!

My children, do not be misguided to live a limited purpose life of an animal. Live a purposeful life of a human, a real human. And all real humans are precious for God, our Universal Father.

I hope, you could make sense of what I am saying.

I wish all of you to do the best in this life for taking advanced and challenging assignments of life in the distant future.

Hope, I would be able to meet you personally then.

God Bless you all.

Yours sincerely,

[A Life Carrier]

*An Imaginative Call Based on the Facts Revealed in TUB

Sharing Some Photographs of My Life That Remind Me of the Changes that I have been Witnessing!

Today is a Sunday and it has been unusually cold in this part of the country from the morning. A cold and wet day devoid of the usual routines of office going and the like. As there was nothing to do, I thought of reading the Urantia Book. I began reading the foreword once again, the para that I had read many times earlier: 

"It is exceedingly difficult to present enlarged concepts and advanced truth, in our endeavor to expand cosmic consciousness and enhance spiritual perception, when we are restricted to the use of a circumscribed language of the realm. But our mandate admonishes us to make every effort to convey our meanings by using the word symbols of the English tongue. We have been instructed to introduce new terms only when the concept to be portrayed finds no terminology in English which can be employed to convey such a new concept partially or even with more or less distortion of meaning.............Your world, Urantia, is one of many similar inhabited planets which comprise the local universe of Nebadon. This universe, together with similar creations, makes up the superuniverse of Orvonton, from whose capital, Uversa, our commission hails. Orvonton is one of the seven evolutionary superuniverses of time and space which circle the never-beginning, never-ending creation of divine perfection — the central universe of Havona. At the heart of this eternal and central universe is the stationary Isle of Paradise, the geographic center of infinity and the dwelling place of the eternal God."

Yes, it is exceedingly difficult to present enlarged concepts and advanced truth to my fellow men and women. Experience has made me realize that very clear now. I thought this world is very advanced and the people are capable of understanding higher knowledge and thoughts. But unfortunately it is not so. The divine revelators of the Urantia Book knew it well. My world is still in its cultural infancy, though there could be a few individuals here and there who are receptive to advanced truths!

I closed the book. I took the photo album and began glancing through the photographs. From a child of the nineteen fifties, I had progressed to become an old man reaching the sixties. Many of those who shared the space with me in those photographs no more exist in this world. Those who exist have changed their physical appearances. As the time passed, new faces are appearing and old faces are fading out.

Change is continuously taking place. And change is the only thing that has not changed.

Look at these pictures of me, my family and my activities. Changes are too visible and understandable:

So life keeps going with continuous changes.

And those changes are inevitable experiences.

But what are those invisible changes that are taking place?

Any changes in the mind ?

Any changes in priorities of  life?

Do you ever thought of any link between my reading the book earlier today and sharing these photos later?

Try to find it out yourself if you have the time!

Read my blogs based on the knowledge I have gained by being a student of the Urantia Book.

The Railway Co-passenger Who Removed the Melancholy from the Mind of the Young Indian Engineer !(Story)

Mr Vinod Bhaskar is not a very successful Indian if success is to be measured in the yardsticks of the present day wisdom of the so-called Indian elitists. At the same time, he is also not a ruined failure by any means. In the eyes of millions of his so-called poor country cousins, he is definitely a very successful young man.

He works in a good Indian banking company as an officer and earns nearly Rs.45,000 in a month. He had never imagined that he would be doing a job in a bank doing and dealing with the money of others like him. He was interested in science subjects in the school and his mathematics was calculus, algebra, trigonometry and the like and he never considered simple arithmetic as any important part of his mathematics. His parents had to shell out considerable money, about five lakh rupees for him to complete his four year engineering degree course in mechanical engineering from a new era private engineering college established by erstwhile landlords of his state in the 1990's. 

He had learnt about theory of machines, machine design, thermodynamics, heat engines, strength of materials and many such things which he earnestly studied scoring high marks in his semester examinations. He was serious in his studies unlike many of his classmates and college mates who got in to the engineering college for spending the moneys of their neo rich parents in style and show. He was hopeful to get in to some job where he could put his engineering knowledge to advanced creativity.

But things did not go the way he thought. When he passed out in flying colors in the first decade of the 21st century, he realized with regret he was not any uniquely trained young man who would be welcomed by the Indian industry. There were millions of young men and women like him who are with engineering degrees and a good majority of them had acquired their degrees in flying colors! 

Indian industry and the Indian government did not know how to use these young engineers who come out with many fundamental knowledge and waiting eagerly to put their knowledge to actual professional use. Manufacturing and production of goods have become a non profitable activity in India while selling of items made in China was much more profitable. Companies who had factories working in the Indian soil have closed their units and began outsourcing products that the Chinese made much cheaper. The Indian government and the Indian industry could not find out the magic of the dragon even while they kept thinking over it for years!

So for Vinod there was no engineering job offer. And his parents were not of the kind of the parents of any of his contemporaries either. Those fortunate Indians have either unaccounted moneys in millions that could be easily diverted for sending their wards to the American and Australian universities for higher education and securing lucrative jobs in MNCs. Vinod was also not the son of any fortunate landlord who owned acres of land near to any Indian cities which could have fetched them millions of rupees from the builders and colonizers or their land mafia agents. Again his parents did not belong to any community or castes listed in the Indian constitution for any preferential government jobs.

But it is totally unfair to say that Vinod was going to be unemployed in modern India. He fortunately had a visionary prime minister ruling the country for nearly a decade and his visions had changed India. Youngsters like him passing out in the millions as young electrical, civil, mechanical engineers are finding fantastic opportunities to get transformed as modern software engineers. They were to cut and paste code lines using the computers and the internet for making additional codes for the same and earn money distributed from the USA. It was a fantastic magical business where money transactions occurred in billions without any visible changes any where. It is the modern business. Too abstract to understand even by the most learned wise men!

Vinod too got such a job in Bengaluru. He was getting Rs 15000 per month in 2008 when he joined the company. He did not like the job. It was not about the heat engines or about the strength of materials. Or for that matter nothing to do with the mechanical engineering that he thought about.  He was making some code modifications for computer games that would eventually to be sold to hook up young boys and girls to computers. Some of those codes could perhaps be promoting gambling in some part of the world. He was not sure. Neither was he sure about the code cut-pastes and re-writing his seniors asked him to do. He and millions like him were however toiling hard to make the digital ocean of the world wide web frothy and chaotic and to dig out the nectar of money from that big chaos. His common sense was not able to give his any satisfactory answers to the question that he was asking to himself. Is this digital technology works taking the youngsters like him away from the real world? Does it bring about progress and solve the human problems? Or is it going to be the modern era opium that would sedate the youngsters and keep them in perpetual illusion? 

Vinod Bhaskar could not come to any conclusion. What he realized with pain was that only these software companies are going to support him and millions of young Indians like him with some monthly income to survive. He did not understand how the money kept flowing to the coffers of these software companies of India from the foreign lands. Neither he understood the economics behind it. But he knew only one thing. It was too boring and tiring a job. He and his colleagues were being used as some kind of slaves. They are called software engineers or techies. But he knew, he had no such background to be called a software engineer. He was never ever trained in the field of computers. He was trained as a mechanical engineer! Yet they paid him some money regularly for his computer work that he performed without understanding anything about it.

So, he wanted to get out of it to the real world. But soon he realized that it was not going to be that easy. He now is branded as a software fellow and no one was willing to consider him as a mechanical engineer any more. More over, all the placement companies thrived only because of the software companies.

But in another two years time Vinod was fortunate to get out from his software company. He was picked up by a private bank as a front line officer. They hard bargained for his monthly salary and finally agreed to make a monthly payment which was ten percent more than what he was getting in his previous software company. The new job in the private banking company was also not any thing concerned with his engineering. But at least it gave an opportunity to change, a change that he soon realized as more painful than the earlier one. 

Bhaskar has now totally settled to his fate. He soon realized that he was a fortunate engineer of India. At least he had some job which fetched him some regular income to survive. He is called an officer of a new wave bank. This bank selected people like him to be posted as the front line officers who manned their branches to deal with the individual customers with their small savings and small transactions. For handling these small people small time officers like him are deployed with small time salaries. The small moneys of the individual Indians in millions accumulated as billions of rupees for the bank. And the bank made big deals with big corporate entities using these accumulated billions. And to settle those big deals they needed highly clever managers with high IQs and such big managers they recruited from the elite management institutes and paid them several times more than what they paid their front line officers. The new wave banks of India have been allowed to do play in the financial markets of India in the liberalized economy of India in this manner. 

Bhaskar fumed when he came to know about such class differences in his banking company. He too was an intelligent engineer, but his bank's top brass gave little credence to that. For them he was not having a degree from an elite institute and hence not eligible to become any of their big managers to draw big salaries!

But there was nothing that he could do. His father had told him about the class inequalities that India perpetuated after independence. Now the clever leaders of India are making other forms of inequalities. He was also learning some thing more from his few years of work experience. Cheating of some form was essential for doing any business successfully in his country. Honesty has no place and value. At least that was what he was experiencing.

He was slowly losing his self esteem and confidence. He was becoming melancholic. He wanted to meet some guruji or spiritual saint to discuss his problems. Fortunately there are several of those successful gurujis in his land. But of late, after reading and hearing the news about  the adventures of real life many of these swamijis are supposedly having he was in a dilemma. The conventional image that he had about a guru in his mind was not inspiring any more.

It was in 2013 while on a train journey that he finally met a person whom he has now placed as his guru. The guru who brought him out of his melancholy and his fuming anger to one and all for reasons that he was not in a position to explain. 

Bhaskar's new found guru did not wear any such mystic attires. In fact he was decently dressed and looked like any other white collared working class Indian. He was older by a few years. There was nothing extra ordinary about his co-passenger, except that he had some thing that made Bhaskar to get attracted to him after he began talking to him. 

Talking with him during the few hours of journey in the train was felt as if highly refreshing for Bhaskar. But his co-passenger did not talk about religion or spirituality or any thing of that kind. But he showed a keenness to listen to Bhaskar earnestly and also shared a few of his experiences of life with a kind of honesty that was too touching for Bhaskar. What was appealing was his genuine affection to another human being without the all pervasive selfishness that Bhaskar has been used to. 

Then the time came for both of them to alight the train and catch different trains. They were to part ways in another couple of hours. They had another few hours of togetherness in the station.

Bhaskar felt the urge to smoke and have a drink that he used to do in such occasions. He usually went to a restaurant located in one of the lanes adjacent to this railway station where he could eat, drink and smoke comfortably. But this day, he had his stranger co-passenger who by this time had become much more than a friend to him. And he felt awkward to disclose to his new friend about his usual way of time pass. But anyway, he told him about that.

To his surprise, his friend agreed to accompany him to the joint. Later, he became all the more comfortable when his friend agreed to share a drink and a smoke with him along with the snacks. At least this new guru of his was not one who gave any sermon about these so-called vices!

In the hotel, while continuing their talks about life and life experiences of various kinds, his new guru politely convinced him not to order for more drinks and smoke and taught him about the need for restraints in life. He was not against Bhaskar to enjoy simple pleasures of life once in a while but gently reminded him to think about the folly of drinking and smoking and many such so called pleasures. And Bhaskar was getting his point. Drinking and smoking did not actually gave him any pleasure and yet he was doing it. There was no reason why he did it. His ordinarily looking guru while sharing a drink and a smoke with him for the first time made a lasting resolve in his mind that day. He would use his self determination power of his mind and perhaps would not spend money for this wasteful expenditure that only caused only some discomfort and not any pleasure any way. He realized for the first time that his guru was right after all, and that too while in actual practice. 

He learnt many things. There was perhaps nothing that he could do in a situation that he is. There is nothing he could achieve by being sad about his condition. He is not alone in this world who is facing situations like this. There are millions and billions who are worse than him. Perhaps getting a job of a mechanical engineer also would not have solved his problem. He could find things that are not to his liking even then.

He cannot change the environment. He cannot change others. He cannot change the policy makers. He cannot change his company's policies or the thoughts of its top management. 

What perhaps he could do is to train himself to be cheerful and think good. He could be of some small help to others. He could think positive and make others think positive at least in some instances. On the whole he could remain as a blessing to him and others instead of being a curse to him and others.

His banking job is perhaps the best opportunity. As a front line officer he was blessed with an opportunity to meet people. He could be a blessing and a help to scores of people every day. Perhaps a better opportunity than many of those big officers making big moneys.

It was time to say good-bye to his short time friend. But Bhaskar was a changed man now. He had already taken some firm decisions in his mind.

He was going to be a blessing to others in the days to come.

He was going to be like his modern swamiji who transformed him through some normal but touching human actions and not through those mantras, tantras or magical attires.

It was also very soothing for him to know that there exist so many of such loving gurus all around him. Perhaps they are not showing off. But they would definitely exhibit their godly natures when you need it most.

For Vinod Bhaskar, this land has become an interesting place to experience life! The secrets of happiness of living was unfolding in the minds of Bhaskar. 

The melancholy that was slowly accumulating in the mind of Vinod Bhaskar to become what doctors call as depression has been effectively removed. Vinod was feeling light and cheerful now than before. Had the situation continued he could have even decided to end his life succumbing to such thoughts that pervaded his mind many times earlier. 

While on his onward journey alone, Vinod was a cheerful personality. He thought of his co-passenger, the ordinary looking man who had become a blessing to his life. He thanked him silently in his mind and was now determined to become a blessing to others so long as he lives in this world. Just as his co-passenger was to him a couple of hours earlier.

Why do I Consider the Urantia Book My Favorite Book of Life Guidance?

The Urantia Book is a huge book of 2097 pages. It was first printed in English language and published in the USA in 1955.

This book came to my notice in 2008 and ever since this is my favorite book of life guidance.

My concepts, ideas and outlook towards life changed wholly after I began to read and understand this great book of modern times.

My blogs in this site either give ideas and concepts from the Urantia Book or are based on the guiding principles of life that I got from this divinely gifted book of knowledge to modern mankind.

Yet, this book is not a widely read book.

It has not come to the notice of the majority of the so-called intelligentsia of the present day even when there is a minority of a few million people who enjoy reading it and keep drawing themselves to the Universal Drawing Power which we call God.

So, what is the Urantia Book? Read this Wikipedia article about the Urantia Book (TUB)  to get an unbiased or neutral opinion about it. Remember, the book itself tells us that it is the Fifth Epochal Revelation (FER) to mankind. 

There are a few websites in the world now that have been promoting the knowledge and truths of this book to those who are inclined to know and learn about it. [ Use this hyperlink to get a comprehensive directory of the worldwide Urantia Book Websites] 

The Urantia Book answers some questions thoughtful humans used to ask themselves. For example I had many questions. Some of these questions I have listed in the opening page of my urantia-india website.  I am happy to say that I have found answers to these questions in the Urantia Book.

Since Urantia Book is a huge and voluminous book in English, that too in a language which is instructive and authoritative, some people are eager to know about the content of it in brief. I have attempted to give a brief of the Urantia Book in this blog. 

Many people are interested to know what happens after death. The Urantia Book gives the most authoritative assertion to what happens after death. [Use the link to read the blog] 

I had written earlier the reasons why I believe in the truths revealed in the Urantia Book and what it says it is. [ Use the link to read it] I have also tried to put forth my reasons why many others find it difficult to digest these truths and consider it as a big hoax. But people who try hard to prove the Urantia Book as a hoax are making themselves a pitiful lot. They have hardly found any worthwhile points to make their points home. But they sure succeed in confusing the fence-sitters!

Some people argue that the knowledge the book provides is a waste. They argue that faith is important than knowledge. I agree with them because knowledge is indeed painful to acquire and digest. It is more so for those whose biological faculties are not fully equipped for knowledge acquisition and assimilation. Perhaps that is the reason why Genesis 2:17 says man "must not eat the fruits of the tree of knowledge of good and evil"

But being knowledgeable in a society full of ignorance or partial knowledge is indeed a painful experience. The wise men would not be able to open their mouths in such a society and ignorant men and women would never heed to the advice of knowledgeable men or women. 

Therefore, the book of knowledge -the Urantia Book - would not be one of attraction or curiosity to the majority of earth people till the time they mature to a position to grasp the contents of it.

But for me it is now my favorite book. It is my divinely spoken guide to a good and inspiring life on an otherwise evil entangled world.

Evolution of Life on Planets: It is not Automatic, but according to the Plans of God !

Readers who are a bit familiar with this site would have known that many of my blogs here are either based on the knowledge or inspirations I gained from the divinely revealed book of knowledge of which I have been a fascinated student for the past few years. While presenting such knowledge in some capsule form for my readers, I do acknowledge the fact that there are only  a minuscule percentage of people in this world as of now whose curiosities  could get ignited for knowing more. 

Today, I would like to present in brief yet another piece of revealed information regarding the general plan of development of an evolutionary planet with life not only plants and animal life, but also intelligent life (similar to we human beings) as revealed in this book known as the Urantia Book.

But it would be beneficial for the readers to have some idea about the book and some fundamental concepts in this context by reading the following blogs:

The Urantia Book- A Brief by a Fascinated Indian Admirer !

What is the Content of the Urantia Book in Brief ?

Organization of the Universe According to the Urantia Book !

God, the First Source and Centre of everything, is Infinite and is beyond our comprehension. During the times of eternity (that was the period when the visible Universes did not exist) only God existed. Since everything and everybody got created later either directly or indirectly by this very same God, it is better for us to designate this First Source as the Universal Father God.

The seat of God is the Central nucleus of the Universes which is identified by the familiar name, Paradise. To know more about it read my blog : 

Paradise is not an imagination; it is real !

If we have any characteristics that is some what similar to God, is our personality. In fact, our personality is a gift of God.

During eternity, some more God-like divine beings originated from God, who too are Gods for all practical purposes. Together, they created innumerable divine beings with various capabilities and purposes. Together these divine beings form the personalities who are responsible for the creation and administration of the universes which got created later.Divine beings who are directly originating from God are perfect and are similar to God in many ways while those who are indirectly created may not be so perfect and powerful as God or His immediate divine associates.

There is one conglomerate of a billion  non-evolutionary worlds revolving round the stationary Paradise which also got created during eternal times. Paradise and these billion supreme non evolutionary worlds together form the central universe. These universes are populated by divine beings of various orders.

Space and time as we understand exist beyond the central universe as seven super universes of equal mass and energy. These universes revolve around the central universe.

Each of the seven super universes comprise of millions of non-evolutionary globes and nearly a trillion of evolutionary worlds more or less similar to our earth. 

Evolutionary worlds are the worlds of mortal races such as human beings, while non evolutionary worlds , also called the architectural worlds, are primary abodes of the immortal celestial beings.

The primary administrative and creative unit of a super universe is the local universe. Nearly 1000 local universes make up one super universe. A local universe will have several architectural worlds, stars, galaxies, planets and other celestial objects such as novas and black holes. Planets may be associated and held together as a group by some stars or larger celestial bodies of higher gravitational forces. Some planets that evolve during the process of creation of universe matter may become suitable for material life implantation. Such a planet where intelligent mortal life gets developed is called a mortal world. A local universe on full evolutionary development would have one billion or 100 million mortal worlds.

Our earth belongs to a local universe called Nebadon, which is yet to be developed to it full capacity of mortal worlds. Nebadon in itself is part of the seventh super universe named as Orvonton. Three divine beings together rule a super universe. These divine beings are known as the Ancients of Days. The creative head and divine ruler of a local universe is a divine being in the order of a Michael, a directly originated divine being from the Universal Father God. A Michael carries out his universe creation and its subsequent governance  in accordance with the mandate of the Universal Father God, ably assisted by his divine superiors, associates and divine subordinates. He is immediately supported by the divine power known as the local universe mother spirit and another local universe divine chief executive. 

To know more about our local universe creator and ruler, read this blog:

Our Sovereign Lord: He has other 3.8 Million Worlds like Earth to look after !

Many planets in our local universe are in the process of becoming life sustaining planets of the future. It might take millions of years for our universe to attain its full capacity. 

Material life of plants, animals and humans are designed and created by another subordinate divine beings called the Life Carriers. They do so with the approval of the local universe creator and ruler. 

A local universe is further divided in to lower administrative units, the lowest being a mortal world such as our earth. A mortal world is an evolutionary planet where life had evolved to such an extent that it contains intelligent life similar to human beings. Intelligent life is that life which can reason out the intricacy of life and admire the invisible creator (God) who is responsible for life and adore the creator as a result of that reasoning and admiration.

Every mortal world has a subordinate divine administration of itself. It comprises of many orders of subordinate divine beings reporting to their local head called the Planetary Prince. 

Most of the members of these divine administration are invisible to the material eyes of the mortals. However, under certain circumstances, some of these divine beings could be perceived by the mortal vision.

For administrative convenience, a local universe is divided in to 100 constellations. Each constellation is further divided into 1000 planetary systems. Every system can have up to 1000 mortal worlds.

The constellations are ruled by a group of subordinate divine beings called the Most Highs. Most Highs are subordinate to the local universe Creator, but superior to the System Head and the Planetary Princes. While System Heads and Planetary Princes are of the same order of divine beings, Most Highs belong to another order of divine beings.

While the Planetary Princes are resident on the planet concerned ( invisible to the mortals of the planet), the head quarters of the other rulers are established on architectural (non evolutionary) spheres (worlds).

Now let us see some more important information in this context:

While there are innumerable agencies of God which control the non-living aspects of an evolving planet, such as energy, gravitational balances, universe communications, etc, it is the primary responsibility of the celestial administrators and their celestial associates to create a conducive over control over every thing that the intelligent mortal life advances in knowledge and civilization. However, they are not permitted to interfere much in human affairs directly. God wants that evolutionary material beings such as humans develop and progress gaining much living experience  using their own intelligence, cooperation and self earned capabilities.

In all normal mortal worlds, mortals are capable of some direct interaction with some orders of their senior celestial supervisors. especially those lower orders of celestial beings who are only a bit superior to human beings. These celestial beings could assist the humans in gaining knowledge and skills much faster than they would have gained it by their own.

Earth belongs to a System of worlds called the Satania system. This system currently has 619 worlds with intelligent mortal life. Earth is world no 606 of this system. The first world of this system is Anova.

A subordinate divine being (let us identify him by the name by the known name, Lucifer) was the System Head long ago. Another of his order, named Satan, was his administrative assistant. A much junior of their order, known as Caligastia used to be the Planetary Prince of earth. Caligastia's administrative assistant used to be another junior of his order known as Daligastia.

They used to work efficiently for the development and progress of earth and its peoples during the initial thousands of years after the Life Carriers successfully created intelligent humans on earth by the process of controlled evolution. You may read that story in the following blog:

Origin and Development of Human Beings on Earth-Have You Ever Heard This ?

Things would have proceeded well on earth as planned by the Universal Administration of God. However, unfortunately things went haphazard for earth and a few others like earth. You may read about it in the following blog:

The Lucifer Rebellion : The Event that Changed Our Destiny !

The immediate effect of this rebellion that happened in the lower echelons of the Universe Administration was that earth and such other affected worlds (worlds where the celestial rulers rebelled against the universe administration of God) got quarantined (they were isolated from the universe communication and energy channels) The effect was that the concerned rebel divine beings lost much of their powers. In later years, the main leaders of the rebellion, Lucifer et al, got detained and removed from their respective authorities. In the case of earth, the Planetary Prince, Caligastia and his followers, too are removed from their authorities. However, they are still free to move around on earth and do some nefarious activities, though their powers are much limited. They are likely to get higher punishment according to the procedures of the universe laws in the future.

Had our earth proceeded according to the plans of God, by this time our earth would have achieved a much advanced human civilization. But the aftermaths of the celestial rebellion has created much confusion among us. Especially with regard to our understanding of God!

We as a class, are miserably failing to recognize and work according to the universal laws of God. When the universe laws are violated, we face consequences accordingly. We make some progress and then our progress moves backward. We are not able to maintain any consistency.

The rebellion has made our world, a world of challenges and great opportunities for spiritual progress. Remember, material progress is not something much to be appreciated. Material progress, though good, is not essential for spiritual progress. Spiritual progress is the one that ensures human beings to advance from the status of mortals to that of immortals. 

The status change from mortal to immortal is what God expects human beings to achieve during their life time as a mortal. If they overcome greed, selfishness, hatred, violence and such other evolutionary animal tendencies from their mind and polish it with love, fraternity, cooperation, honesty and such other desirable qualities they are bound to become god-loving personalities. A god-loving personality is bound to become immortal even when they face mortal death.

How that is done is explained in detail in the Urantia Book.

And knowing that enhances confidence. Confidence in the reality of God and to live according to the plans of God.

Is it not something wonderful ?

Think about it !
