Dedication
Dedicated to the Lotus feet of my Guruji Reverend Shri Shäntänand ji Puri of Vashishtha Guhä, Himālaya .
Why This Book?
N ight of 26 December, 2004. I was travelling by Tamil Nadu express, with my family. We nine members of the party were heading towards Chennai; from there we had a plan to go to Tirupati by bus. It was 3’O clock in the morning; all were fast asleep; the train was running with high speed towards south. Suddenly, the mobile phone of my son, Rajesh, rang. Dinesh, my son-in-law, was speaking from Bhopal: “Wherever you people are, get off the train at the next stoppage, don’t go to Chennai; a raging hurricane is lashing that region. Thousands of people have been killed”.
Outer Upheavals
Chennai was still about four hours away. We hurriedly packed and got down at the next station: Gudur. After sometime, we talked to the local people, saw the morning newspaper, then we came to know that an oceanic typhoon –named Tsunami, is raging at the southern sea coast. It had engulfed a wide area, from northern region of Australia up to the Indian coasts of the southern peninsula.
We proceeded to Tirupati by road from Gudur. While worshipping Lord Venkatesh, a thought fashed in my mind – “O God! Why such thunderbolt of trauma on the simple, innocent, poor people: children, women, elderly persons, and innumerable helpless beings? Why has this ferce dance of death and destruction descended?”
After four days of this havoc, we visited Marina Beach of Chennai where we could see the muddy and bloody paws of tsunami!
Inner Upheavals
In life also, the upheaval of tornado occurs, at some stage or the other, when our emotions, sentiments, instincts, and conflicts get compactly deposited in the unconscious layer of mind, and when extreme pressure, tensions and turmoil are activated, then the strata of mental structure start cracking, tearing apart and rupturing. Then, opens the floodgate of emotions, high-rise waves of anger and hatred and attack of fear devastatingly destroy the mental peace and happiness. We get lost in melancholy, clutched in depression and drowned in sludge of hopelessness. We throw away our Gândeev . Our life appears to be worthless, and existence purposeless. The death seems to be dearer than life - even if enormous prosperity is wedded to us!
I have also faced the trauma of tsunamis in my life - from childhood: once or twice faced a situation of loss in totality, hand-shake with the god of death, insult, infamy, betrayal and pain of immense dejection. But fortunately my philosophy and spirituality supported me and I survived.
Treatises of Wisdom
Cultural background of the childhood, contacts with the wise, faith in God, scientific approach and structure of positive karma - all these forces of positivity have always helped me to liberate myself from the mire of bad times. After retirement from service, I started reading and contemplating upon various wisdom treatises of the world. I could dive into philosophy, psychology, religion and spirituality as treasured by the glorious sages and the wise of the east as well as the western analysts of Upanishads, lights of Buddha, Christ, Descartes, Patanjali, Formulators of Tao and Zen - the golden essence of ken and enlightenment of all. I could avail my freedom to analyze and synthesize the fundamental organizations of atheism and theism, science and religion and the complexity of human mind and thoughts.
Thereafter, I dived into the celestial waters of Gitâ-Gnyân , the wisdom of the Gitā. The Gitā is the axis of my existence. I could deeply dissect and analyze every religious and spiritual phenomenon with the sharp knife of cause and effect, which was possible because of my training in science. Then my first book - The Yoga of Gitä , originated. By now, I was totally out of my life-long sphere of research in plant-and-earth sciences; expanding the newer circle of my being, I continued to swim in the bliss of the real knowledge.
In continuum, two more books- The Four Stroke Success and The Reality of Personal God saw the light of the day.
Our Treatises of Wisdom, belonging to some religious philosophy are studded with gems of human welfare and blessings, but their language generally weaves simile, metaphors, allegory, comparisons and indicative symbols. At times, their literary meanings may produce droughts and confusion; the word-for-word sense does not usher into any clear pathway. But if they could be perceived or redesigned, and symbolic formations on their subtle intimation could be elucidated or construed, then these fountains of divine wisdom could flow as pristine stream of ecstasy and bliss; such as the secret of the Gitā.
Wish to Share
I want to share the views which have been expressed in the book with the young generation of the time, and also with those who negate our ancient treasure of knowledge or who want to see god on the basis of cause and effect only. Even to them, I wish to convey my ideas who are hard-core fatalistic, or those who disintegrate at the time of distress.
The ups-and-downs in life will come in continuum. Do not be terrorized by them. Try to decipher their frame-work. Even before the high waves rise, understand the signals and signs and then intently subdue the upheavals of thoughts. Had we shared the wisdom with animals the loss of life in the tsunami would have been the minimum.
Identify and destroy each point of tension in day-today living. Intensive observation, tranquil awareness, and discriminative intellect are the tools for such achievements of stress-free life. Don’t allow to build up the load of clutter and accumulate it. Diffuse the stress as well as strain! Disperse them and make them ineffective! Subdue the troubles of mind! We go on agitating because everything goes on changing, always changing; try to understand the ever-changing phenomena in the world and also the jumping nature of mind. However, even then the tsunami may strike hard but it can’t destroy the serenity, stability and calmness of life. Such a balanced state could be achieved only through knowledge: complete ken!
Acknowledgements
I am grateful to Dinesh, Anita, Sanjay, Swati, Rajesh, Seema and Vishnukanta for lovingly enquiring, off-and-on, about the progress of my only job - the scribbling, which got entangled in the ‘writer’s block’ for about two years. This was mainly due to the publisher-writer syndrome, so often experienced by most of the writers. Desperately, I withdrew with a sense of de-motivation. But, it was an experience in itself for which I am thankful to the concerned firm for keeping my manuscript for 15 months and then returning with regret. This incident, though a peril, showed me the path anew to walk on and on!
In December, 2007, I happened to sit at the holy feet of my Gurudev. Earlier, I had understood him saying that at certain stage in life, one should lay all his activities except Sâdhnâ . This in my mind, I requested Guruji if I were to continue writing on my favourite subject: spirituality, science, psychology; with a view to cater younger generation. Venerable Gurudev very lovingly explained: “What you are doing is a righteous karma not desiring money, fame, name or reward; it is helpful particularly to the youth who urgently need some spiritual guidance, founded on scientific reasoning.”
“Go ahead”, he sanctified, “and my best blessings are with you!”
So it all re-started.
How do I express my indebtedness to the mentor of my life in all directions of my existence? My loving surrender to his holy feet!

The present book is the English transcription of the author’s latest book: “Sukh Avam Shānti: Kab, Kahān aur Kaise?”

Preface
Violent Cyclone of Sufferings
Human mind can be ideally happy, in continuum, when all its desires are fulfilled and when one’s life attains a zero-agitation state. Desires, longings or thirsty tendencies multiply according to geometrical ratio: two to four, four to sixteen, sixteen to two hundred ffty six (16 x 16), and then infinitude! Such is the arithmetic of our sensuous hunger. But, alas! The desires can never be satiated totally, and this perpetual incompleteness makes us miserable, injecting the pain of void in our veins. Even in dreams! We may have fabulous wealth and ineffable power, yet depression, turmoil, worry, angst and unclassified emptiness do not leave chasing us frantically. Therefore, it is essential to discrim
