HORRIBLE SPIRITUAL STATE & HOW TO FIX IT
– Guru Ramdas ji

The time since human existence has been divided into 4 eras – Satyug (dominated by truth), Treta, Dwapar, and Kalyug (current era – time of Sin) and with each Era (yug) humans go from Truth towards Sin. People in Satyug like spiritual state keep God first in their life and life of eternal joy, stay content, and always do good. They see God within everyone and everything, they always do Simrun (meditation to God); therefore God becomes their companion and they get respect in this world and in court of God. Second type of spiritual state is Treta-like where people cheat others. They forget about God and focus on extending their life and try to gain control over their senses. They lose one of the four pillars of faith (compared to a strong bull carrying the world on his horns) and get filled with anger. This was the reason kings used to attack other kingdoms which caused problems for them. When we get stuck in attachment we also get more ego, but when people turn to God this dirt gets clean.

God created all humans, and those who are stuck in Maya (5 forms – Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Ego) are in Dwapar like spiritual state. These people are wandering and waste time in useless religious rituals and acts. They have lost 2 pillars of faith. In this state warriors start war. These burn in fire of ego and burn others as well. The worst state is when people lose 3 pillars of faith and their life includes faith is nothing but show. These people are in Kalyung-like spiritual state. People who connect to God via Naam-simrun experience peace. They learn that purpose of human life is to do Simrun which gets them respect now and after death. People in Kalyung-like state are disconnected from God and waste their life away.

I have found my complete Guru (perfect) who helped me discover God within.
