Shashi Verma is a Fellow Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and has been in practice for the last 30 years. He is Chairman of Noble Foundation, a charitable organization engaged in disseminating the wisdom of God. He has authored several books on spirituality and wisdom of God. His recent book, You Are God- The Bhagavad Gita as never before unfolds a unique wisdom lying unexplored in the Bhagavad Gita for thousands of years. According to him this wisdom will lead the world into a new age where all of us will live in peace, happiness and complete harmony having realized that all beings are forms of God, that is, they are God. Shashi Verma has given numerous talks in India and abroad on this wisdom of God contained in the Gita.
Generally it is believed in the world that only the good are eligible to know and reach God. That is why people do good deeds, give charity and help others so that they could attain God. And the world denounces the doers of bad deeds as sinners and declares them unfit to reach God.
But in the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says that the being is not the doer of any good or bad deeds, because all actions are done by nature, the doer-power of God. Lord Krishna also says that the Supreme does not accept the virtues or the sins of any being. It does not matter to God whether one is good or bad or whether one performs good actions or bad actions.
Does it mean that even the people who are into so-called bad deeds can reach God?
Actually the only criterion for attaining God is acceptance of the words of God. No matter whether a person is good or bad, if he accepts the words of God and abides by them, then he becomes fit to know God and reach God. In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna goes to the extent of saying that even if a wicked person worships God with devotion he is regarded as a saint.
The ancient Indian scriptures even cite a very good instance, wherein a dacoit who used to murder and loot innocent travellers, got a chance to accept the words of God. He did this and by following the words of God he became sage Valmiki who wrote the much revered scripture, the Ramayan.
The important thing here is not worshipping God, for everyone in the world claims to be doing so. The important thing is to accept the words of God and worship Him by the method revealed by God. If one sticks to the modes of worshipping prevalent in the world, then according to Lord Krishna one can never reach or attain God. Most of these modes vehemently propagate that those into bad deeds are not entitled to reach God. But on the supreme path shown by God himself there is no such restriction. Anyone who has faith and who accepts the words of God and follows the supreme path, in no time sees God with his or her open eyes.
This supreme path has been elucidated in the book You Are God written by Shashi Verma that is based on the teachings of Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita. To order the book or to know more about this path to which each and every human being, irrespective of one’s caste, religion, deeds or creed is entitled, log on to the website www.highestwisdom.com
