When does a person who walks on the path of truth and does good deeds experience God?

The attainment of birth as a human being is the same great blessing. The scriptures say that the human body is obtained when virtue shines after birth. 3 lakh vaginas are described in 'Vishnupuran'. Accordingly, two million species are immovable. Nine lakh vaginas are water-borne organisms. Nine million vaginas are tortoise-like species that live in both water and land. One million species of birds. Twenty million species of quadrupeds. There are four lakh species of monkeys.

After going through so many vaginas, in the end man attains the qualification of attaining humanity and theology. That is why the Upanishads say that there is nothing better than humanity. Such an opportunity is not often found.

Life is not an opportunity to live a life of food, sleep, fear and sexual pleasure. In 'Padma Charitra', Swayambhu Dev says: It is good to be a firecracker, it is good to be a stone, it is good to be a piece of iron, it is good to be a dry tree, but it is not good to be a human being without virtues God sent a rare human life on this earth to make man equal to Himself. But instead of becoming a god-like man, man made God his own and stuck to his form in his own way. That is why he became arrogant and began to consider only vices as virtues.

The path of truth is the path of virtue, the path of sattvicism, the path of consent and good deeds, the path of holiness, the path of morality, the path of renunciation and surrender, the path of renunciation of greed, lust, jealousy and hatred. The Bhagavad Gita elaborates on the two types of human beings - those born with divine wealth and those born with demonic nature.

For men of demonic nature, work, anger and greed are all things in life. One who walks in the path of God or truth has the vision of discernment, asceticism and renunciation. There is non-attachment, so it does not take a single step that breaks the truth, shames humanity and causes the grief of human birth.

Satyopasak does not have to leave the world for virtue. While living in this world, it is necessary to perform kayak i.e. body penance, verbal means speech penance and mental means mind penance. These three types of tapas are considered as sattvic tapas performed by yogis without the desire for fruit. Worship of gods, gurus, sages, purity, simplicity and celibacy and non-violence. This is all physical penance. Which is a dear and benevolent promise that does not give rise to anxiety. And remain immersed in the chanting of God.

It is said that he is doing penance through speech. Pleasure of mind, peace of mind, nature of Bhagavat-contemplation controls the mind and purifies the heart. He is called the 'ascetic of the mind'. As long as the mind does not become 'naive', one cannot become a traveler on the path of truth or welfare. 'Hari tane prasanna kem thaye, tara mannu kapat nav jage' is the root mind of all desires. So winning the mind is the first requirement for righteousness. Arjuna asks Lord Krishna this is very fickle, man-shaking, very strong and powerful. So it is equally difficult to control the wind. Lord Krishna suggests a way to subdue the mind and says that the mind can be subdued through study and asceticism.

Giving a nice and simple definition of 'truth', it has been said that whatever is seen, heard and experienced by the senses and the heart, can be left to deceive another human being to explain exactly the same thing. Thirteen forms of truth are described in the Mahabharata. It is truthfulness, righteousness, self-control, unpretentiousness, in the moment, humility, tolerance, ansuya (renunciation of jealousy), southernness, altruism, self-sufficiency, kindness and non-violence.

Mahatma Gandhi considered truth to be God but at the same time said that the path of truth, non-violence is as straightforward as it looks from the outside. Is just as narrow. It is like walking on the edge of a sword. Nuts tend to stay focused on the rope like people do. The rope of truth and non-violence is even thinner than that.

Assuming that you are a traveler on the path of God if you experience joy, contentment, contentment and holiness by walking the path of truth. The realization of God is not described in words. Kabir says, goongo ko sapna bhaya, samaj-samaj pastay. Just as a dumb man cannot describe the realization of a pleasant dream, so when a man's mind is completely detached, devoted to the truth and devoid of loveless, selfless and worldly things, he realizes God like Dhruv or Nachiketa or King Harishchand. The control of the mind through yoga opens the door to the ghost of God.
