Spiritually Engineered

It's a common belief that religion is a resort for the ones who are mental couch potatoes or timid – lacking the courage to face and fight the struggle for existence. Or, that it is supposed to be an escape for the blind-believers who cannot understand logics. One reason for this scepticism could be that the religion, which gained popularity over the years, was at its core far away from its true essence. Therefore, the religious practices prevalent today are stripped of their soul and purpose. The aim of Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan is to sweep away the misconceptions and restore the lost grandeur of Spirituality – the science of experience. It is working towards affirming the fundamental and essential nature of all religions – which is scientific and, hence, practical.

The mission from time to time organizes spiritual workshops in the premises of various colleges and institutes.

This time we will make our blog readers visit the premises of Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology (MAIT), Delhi, India. Many of the faculty members of the institute were imparted with Divine Knowledge (Brahm Gyan) by the grace of His Holiness Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji. So let’s hear a more profound aspect of life discovered in the tongue of technology by the engineers of MAIT.

Navneet Yadav, Senior Lecturer,
Electronics and Communication Dept.

Qs. Did you believe in the existence of God before being imparted with Divine Knowledge?

Ans. I always had this belief that there is a supernatural power which governs the cosmos and all its events. However, I never had the inclination or interest to know more about this power.

Qs. Nowadays, students are so much stressed and they go for meditation. Being their guides do you also suggest them to go for it?

Ans. I had heard of 'Meditation' and its manifold benefits for attaining a certain level of mental peace. Then, one day, I got to know from the college authorities about the spiritual workshop of Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan, which was to be conducted in the college premises itself. I attended the workshop sessions and was greatly inspired. The preachers explained us the true meaning of meditation. They said– “Meditation is an inner phenomenon. For it to happen, involvement of two entities – the Observer and the Target – is a must. The observer alone cannot do meditation. There has to be a target for the observer to focus upon. The highest form of meditation is to focus on the Divine Light of God. Only then, one can establish a perfect communication channel with Him. Divine Knowledge (Brahm Gyan) is the means to reveal, perceive, and realise this divine light within the self. Then, one can literally 'see' this light!” So far, I had not heard of seeing light with eyes closed. Therefore, this thought certainly aroused curiosity within me, as I wanted to concentrate on the divine light and work out a higher level of peace for myself.

Qs. Apart from the experience of Divine Light, was there any other aspect of meditation that fascinated you? Please share.

Ans. There is a very practical aspect of this meditation that literally pulled me in. Often our mind wanders in the lanes of past and future troubles. The blunders and mishaps of the past, which hardly have any significance in the present, create unnecessary pain in our minds. The fears about the distant future create pointless anxiety and weariness. Through the meditation of Brahm Gyan, a worldly person like me also learns to concentrate on the vital energy inherent in the breaths. This constant focus on the breaths holds the mind from going astray and helps it to remain active and conscious in the present. The actual happiness lies in dwelling only in the present state of affairs. Through meditation alone, we can consistently practice this.

Qs. Since you are a faculty in the Electronics and Communication Department, would you like to send a message across to the readers about how this Divine Knowledge is a scientific phenomenon?

Ans. My main subject is Digital Signal Processing (DSP). In DSP, we teach how the state of a circuit converts from '0' (No Voltage) to '1' (Up Voltage). Taking this analogy, I would like to say that although we are living in this world, we are not aware that there is an inner world too, which is infinitely more beautiful and expansive than this outer world. We all should seriously attempt to explore this inner world. For, until we attain this divine realisation, our life's circuit is in the 'dead' or zero state. On the other hand, after the attainment of Divine Knowledge from a Perfect Master, the divine signals run across our life's circuit converting it to the state of '1', pertaining to power and voltage. This state (1) is the symbol of success and happiness.

Qs. When did you get the inspiration for Divine Knowledge?

Ans. After listening to the rational and revolutionary discourses of DJJS, I was greatly impressed. The preachers explained spiritual concepts to us in a very systematic and logical way. For example, they said that the smallest unit of matter is atom. An atom has infinite energy. Currently, scientists are trying to tap this immense energy. I had this information from my knowledge of Physics. However, the new aspect which they put forth was why should we try only to harness energy in the atoms outside? It would be a greater approach and far more advantageous if we awaken the dormant energies present within our inner soul. This energy is boundless. It is bound to be always constructive, as it is divine in nature. Divine Knowledge teaches us how to do this practically.

Qs. As you are a faculty in the Mechanical Engineering Department, would you like to send a message across to the readers about how this Divine Knowledge is a scientific phenomenon?

Ans. In theory of Machines, there are two terms. One is – 'Kinematic Chain' and the other is – 'Mechanisms'. Kinematic Chain is made by conjunction of many links. However, none of the links are fixed. As a result, the movement of a kinematic chain is always random and unpredictable. The direction of rotation of the chain cannot be predicted. So, we cannot expect any controlled and accurate output from it. This is the reason why we need Mechanisms. In Mechanisms, we make at least one link as fixed. Today, whatever working machine you see is actually a form of Mechanism. In life, too, we need such a link which is fixed, so as to generate an output which is predictable and accurate as desired. I can say that this link is the Perfect Master (a Spiritual Guru). Once we are attached to this link, life too operates just like a properly functioning machine.
