Can
you identify the similarity of functions of a computer with a real life? To a certain extent, it is identical. How a computer works? It basically works on the basis of some inputs
programed in the system. On its own, a
computer cannot do anything. But on our own, we can perform many things in
life. We are able to operate a computer when some software programs are
downloaded to it. These software programs carry out different tasks and
functions. Almost all the computers are
same, but they are operated differently based on the various softwares inbuilt
in the same. Human beings and their lives are like computer hardwares. We are
born with the same types of operating parts. By divine power, we all have a
physical body, a system governing the functions of the body and we have the
privilege to have a most sensitive organ, namely the brain like the CPU in a
computer. This particular part of our body takes various signals of the body system
and senses the same to give signals to us for our performing various duties and
functions. Based on the inputs provided by our intelligent system, we fulfill
our desires, actions and implementation
of those activities most of the time in the right direction. The major
difference between the computer and our life is that in a computer, control of the
signal and other programs are done by the combination of the hardware and the software,
whereas in our life, we control the bodily system to act and perform our duties
as suitable for us. In the case of computers,
we load the software as we want. Though
there is a similarity between the two, but the computer system is completely
governed by the human dictum whereas our life system, though governed by our
willpower, determination and healthy system of eating and sleeping, the same is
influenced tremendously by the inputs of the surrounding environment. We take
various inputs from our society. We get it from our parents, teachers, friends
and neighbors. Most of the time, we are being influenced by their opinions,
advices and support services without knowing whether they are right or wrong,
at least in our formative years. We have to depend on their judgement as the
computers depend solely on the combination of the hardware and the software for
its performance. In our life, after getting various inputs from different
sources, we try to accommodate the same to our needs.
It
is a customary practice that we always download the various inputs of society
into ourselves. If we are able to recognize our own identities in the real
sense, that means, our true self, which is known as soul, we will be able to
identify that the society’s offerings in the form of various inputs are not
fulfilling ourselves, in reality. The true self is not that interested to be
besmeared with the fun and frolic getting downloaded from the society. The soul
only wants to have the experience of divinity and its bliss, love and ecstasy. Our soul is only getting nourished by the
love and the light of the divine. In a real sense, if you want to radiate your
presence nourished with divine blessings, you need to download God. With the
contemplative power of prayer, when you enrich your soul and you carry out only
all sorts of moral activities, you can be successful in your activity of
downloading God. Most of us pray, but we
miss to download God in our system. The fundamental difference between the life
system and the computer system is this
power of prayer.

After
making our body still; we try to sedate our mind, but convolute in the various
affairs of the world and continually downloading the same. This is the problem
and in this process, we pollute our thoughts and impure our soul. We always
fill our system with the happenings of the past, whims and fancies related to
fantasies reserved for the future and thoughts pertaining to the ego, envy,
hatred, lust and anger. We are mostly crumbled with the desires of our
ingratiating senses. The contemplative prayer and meditation should be flawless
and must be performed effortlessly. We must close our eyes and observe what is
lying in front of us in religious perspective.
No sooner, we will be able to reach that stage, we will progress
rapidly. In the midst of a meditation, when we feel our true self, we should
not be disturbed by external environment and various mundane thoughts evolve
thereupon. As stated earlier to download God, we need to keep our mind still
and practically thoughtless. When we are not thinking and keeping our mind
still, we will be able to access God. When we get busy in prayer and religious
hymns, if we are continually disturbed by various worldly thoughts, we cannot download
the power of the Almighty and program the same properly. The question may come,
“Do I need to run behind worldly thoughts?” or “Do I want to absorb in prayer
wholeheartedly?” We have to select and choose the path correctly.
This
simple idea of moral living can put us in the right track to focus our
attention within us. If we are able to
educate and train ourselves to follow to do this, a habit of practicing religious
principles will grow, which will lead us on the path to identify our true
selves. This habit will make your mind still while you carry out meditation.
Your mind will not be agitated with any type of sensualities while you are
getting engaged in your prayer. Now, you
will be able to see a tremendous positive result in meditation and will be mentally
moving through the white blanket of bliss and altruistic movements. You will be
enjoying a divine ecstasy. By your power
of meditation, if you download God into your mental frame of thinking, you will
actually merge your nature back to your source, which is the abode of your soul.
This soul guides you to tap your eternal wisdom, bliss, happiness, enlivenment
and divine love. Many times, we do not recognize the ecstasy of divine love and
platonic love in this physical world.
Our soul is always contended and fulfilled by union with God. It is not satisfied by anything of this
world. Secluding the concept of soul and the power of prayer, our life is like
a computer, which functions based on the combination of hardware and other
programs duly downloaded from the
various sources. Apart from all these programs, if we can download God and His blessings in our life
system, we will run our lives without any virus. Some people are able to
download God and His wishes in their life system, just to enjoy their lives
with love and peace. And, they extend these fundamental values to each and everyone.
