Imagine a number of young kids playing on a playground for quite some time now. Initially, the game was very interesting, and everybody was playing with joy and full enthusiasm. However, with time, new players kept adding, and the former kids got tired over a period of time. Gradually, cheating began in the game. There were fights, quarrels, and a lot of frustration. Being innocent young kids, all of them started crying and then remembered their parents. They called their parents initially. The parents listened to their cry, but still encouraged them to play. The parents sent their other kids late in the game to encourage the kids, but in vain.

Gradually, the game became so unpleasant that it was actually impossible for the kids to continue playing, but by this time, they had forgotten their home and were completely unaware of their home due to the loss of memory (because they were always so engrossed in the game). However, there were still some kids who were enjoying the game quite a lot - even if they were cheating others, or playing their own part.

Then came the time, when the parents actually came down to the ground, introduced themselves to their kids, reminded their kids of who they were, and whoever realized this, went with the parents. These were the ones who completely played their game and then went. They began telling other kids that their parents have come. There were other children who were so engrossed in the game, that they did not even look at the parents or try to listen to them. There were some others, who understood who their parents were, understood who they were, but it was their den, so they could not leave the game incompletely (after all they had to do justice to the game). So, with this understanding, they continued to play the game. Meanwhile, while playing the game, they also told others that their parents have come. Imagine a situation when all are forced to leave the ground due to their complete helplessness and weakness. By this time, the playground will have become very old and dirty, and the parents will come and the kids will have no option but to leave the ground forcefully (even if they want to play).

This is what the world is all about.

We (the souls) are all the kids playing in this World Drama the various roles that we have been playing so far. The game began from Satyug (Duration: 1250 years), when the game was excellent, perfect, and we were all completely aware that we are here for enjoyment, fun, frolic, and with complete enthusiasm (complete soul-consciousness). Then came the Tretayug (Duration: 1250 years) gradually, when new souls (players) came in. Then came the Dwaparyug (Duration: 1250 years), when many new souls (players) came in, and the cheating began (due to body-consciousness). We started crying out for God (our eternal, incorporeal Father). He knew that we would still enjoy the game, so He sent his other children (like the prophets Jesus, Budhdha, Mohammed) for betterment of the world, but in vain, because because we could not find God (i.e. unconditional love, happiness) and we were already gripped by the vices of sex-lust, anger, greed, attachment, and ego (body-consciousness - i.e. thinking 'I am this body'), we thought these prophets are Gods, and we began worshiping them, and formed sub-branches of innumerable religions.

Now, the time has (Kalyug - Duration: 1250 years, of which more than 90% of the time has already elapsed) come when the World Drama (game) has become very chaotic and unmanageable by any human being, when God Himself intervenes (remember Yada Yada Hi Dharmasya) and converts this chaotic world to a peaceful world, not by magic, but by transformation (abiding to the laws of nature and humanity).

He has introduced Himself to us, and there are again three categories of souls that I see. Firstly, the ones who have successfully committed their games (their loukik/corporeal roles) and have dedicated their life to Godly service. They are also telling us about God. The second group of souls are the ones who have understood God, realized themselves, and are awaiting to commit their corporeal roles, however, preparing for the Godly service. These souls are also trying to tell everybody that God has come. However, the third group of souls (the hugest number of population) has the ones who are enjoying the game, enjoying their vices, and are still unaware of the intervention of God. It is very necessary for each of us (each soul) to realize that God has come and is transforming this Kalyug to Satyug, which will be formed right here on earth in Asia after the world transformation, which will begin with its destruction and recreation.

Since the eternal, indestructible soul remains the same throughout this eternal cycle, the same soul needs to prepare for the upcoming age. Hence, considering the purity of the Satyug, whoever has completely purified themselves and cleaned themselves (by eradicating their vices) will be the ones who will be able to go to the Satyug. Others will have to wait and depending on their level of purity, they will come later in the game (as per the level of purity of the age). May we not come in only that chaotic part of the game, but prepare ourselves to such an extent that we get to play the best part of the game as well.

A child always wants to play. Even if he was tired yesterday, today, he will urge to play. This is what we are here for. We are here to play our roles. We just need to understand why we are facing all unpleasant situations in life at most of the times. What we are seeing today is just the later part of the game. It's just that we don't remember that we have played that initial, beautiful part of the game when it was completely pure, full of fun, frolic, pleasure, and true happiness. We have seen Satyug, Tretayug, Dwaparyug. It is only for 1/4th of the time that we have seen this unpleasant Kalyug. Otherwise, we have seen the beautiful world that many crores of souls haven't.

Understanding our role is critical to avoid "Identity Crisis". Questions like "Why is my life like this?", "Why is the person behaving like this with me?", "Why am I not getting something I want?", and many others beginning with "Why"'s disappear! Life becomes more peaceful, content, and you actually start getting much more than what you thought :)

** Wish you a Happy Diwali

Diwali is the celebration of perfection.

No other festival unites Indians around the world, as does Deepavali. A single diya or lamp holds infinite beauty and hope. Diwali is a celebration of victory over evil or darkness and the coming of a New Year. But if we probe further, what is this darkness we want to remove?

Light means to follow a virtuous path such that our thoughts are always pure in heart, our words are sweet and peaceful and bring joy to the listener and our actions are always beneficial first to ourselves, and to others as well as the environment. Darkness on the other hand is when our thoughts are negative and when manifested in words or actions bring hurt and sorrow at every step. Ever wondered why Dusshera comes before Diwali? This is the reason.

In reality, evil or darkness does not have an identity of its own – it exists due to a lack of goodness or light. Knowledge, power and all that is pure, are very real characteristics since they are part of us, perhaps dormant yet existing. The Festival of Lights is the fight against evil forces and creation of peace and happiness. Diwali conjures up a number of things in the mind's eye – sweets, new clothes, account books, Goddess Lakshmi, fireworks etc.

So instead of just celebrating Diwali, LET'S EXPERIENCE DIWALI. As we clean our homes, let's clean our minds and intellects too. It is nice to clean, decorate, enlighten and brighten outside, on the physical level, but it is equally necessary to enlighten our mind. In this SangamYug (the period after Kalyug), now that God has come down on the earth for its transformation, let us awaken to Him, recognize, understand, and experience Him, and establish our permanent connection with Him. Further to wearing new clothes, let us also wear jewels of the beautiful values we souls have, those of love, peace, purity, happiness, bliss, knowledge, and power.

As we wear new clothes, let's also discard our old, unwanted, disturbing traits of anger, jealousy, worry, ego, hatred.... and emerge our new but original traits of peace, love, bliss and happiness.

Tonight we will settle our old account books and begin new, simultaneously let us settle our old karmic accounts, any unpleasant relationships and begin our relationships in a new way.

We are all aware of the pollution caused by firecrackers, but it is Diwali, we need to burn crackers, so why not burn all the crackers of evil traits within ourselves - this burning will in fact purify our minds and the environment.

As we exchange sweets let us also exchange meaningful sweet words, good wishes and blessings.

If we really experience Diwali we will succeed in invoking Goddess Lakshmi. Her name stems from the word, 'Laksh' meaning ' the GOAL', implying that she stands for the ultimate goal of perfection that human beings can reach. The 'wealth' that she has to offer is of knowledge and virtues; a divine character alone can attain prosperity and peace.

The key lies in lighting a single 'diya' - my own conscient awareness...
