Perception of the self.

Psychological Research Studies That
Figure Out The Perception Of The Self.

As much as we’d like to think we know ourselves and our own minds, in actual fact there is a lot that we don’t know, are yet to discover and sometimes may not ever know. The human mind works in mysterious ways and the endless studies into different aspects can only widen our understanding, not complete it. Psychologists have made a huge impact on our understanding of human behaviours and how we view the world around us, but there is much we still have to learn.

Saying that, there are a lot of surprising studies that will change your perception of yourself and, hopefully, will help you get to know the human mind a little better:

1. Stanford Prison Experiment:-
This experiment is said to be the most famous psychology study in history and showcased how social environments can affect human behaviour. The study placed 24 healthy undergraduates with no criminal background into a mock prison, asking some to act as guards and the rest to act as prisoners. After six days (the experiment was scheduled to run for two weeks), it had to be cut short due to the violent behaviour of the guards.

Phillip Zimbardo, who ran the experiment, commented on the behaviour, “The guards escalated their aggression against the prisoners, stripping them naked, putting bags over their heads, and then finally had them engage in increasingly humiliating sexual activities.”

This study taught us that even those of us who are declared psychologically “normal” can demonstrate an evil streak when placed in certain environments. How do you think you’d behave in the same situation?

2. Wooden Door Experiment:-
Another famous experiment where college students were targeted by a researcher who asked for directions. Halfway through the directions, workmen holding a wooden door passed between the two having the discussion, switching places with the individual who was asking for the directions. Half of the participants didn’t even notice that the person asking for directions had completely changed. This demonstrates how the human mind can experience “change blindness” and how we may not be aware when something is happening right in front of our very eyes.

3. Milgram’s Authoritarian Experiment:-
After the Second World War, Stanley Milgram wanted to understand why Nazi criminals committed the crimes they did and if the authority figure had something to do with it. The “teacher and learner” experiment had one researcher instructing a participant to produce electric shocks of high voltage on another human being in front of them, simply because they were asked to do so. 65% of participants administered the highest possible voltage of 450-volts when asked to do so by an authority figure, despite seeming distressed and uncomfortable at doing so. How do you perform around authority figures? Would you cause harm to others if you were asked to do so by somebody in power?

4. The Harvard Grant Study:-
Spanning 75-years, this study followed 268 male Harvard graduates at various points in their life to record data on various aspects of their lives. The conclusion of the experiment is that love really does make us happy and fills us with a sense of life-satisfaction that we don’t get from other areas of our lives. Perhaps one of the most uplifting stories, especially since one participant started the study with the lowest rate of future stability and a past of attempted suicide, but at the end of the study, he was one of the happiest – the reason being he spent his life looking for love.

5. Cognitive Dissonance Experiments:-
One of the most popular theories and areas within psychology, cognitive dissonance is the idea that humans cannot cope with conflicting thoughts, emotions or values so experience some mental distress.

There have been many experiments into this area, but one of the most interesting was carried out by Leon Festinger, where he asked participants to complete long, mundane tasks, then offered half of them $1, and the other half $20 to tell waiting participants that they enjoyed the task. The $1 group felt the need to justify the time spent by saying it was a fun task, whereas the higher-paid group believed they had sufficient justification for completing the task. Summarized, we tend to tell ourselves lies to justify the events that happen throughout our lives, even simple ones such as mundane tasks.

There are many more experiments that demonstrate just how little we know about ourselves and our minds as humans, these studies only scratch the surface. Which do you agree with most? Are there any more studies that you have heard about that taught you something new about yourself?

   

Need of the world and duty of humanity.

The need of the world: -

A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, courage, self respect, independence, fairness in the vision, fearlessness, intelligence, and good hopes for future. We don’t need to be called as miserable sinners, God fearing, ugly and bad persons who are born as a result of curse or execration.

A good world needs not to hanker after the past. We do not need looking back all the times towards the past that in dead. The world has need of a philosophy or a ‘religion’ which promote life, be scientific in nature, provide happiness to all the creatures and yield emancipation to the followers.

In addition to these the new religion should have freedom from superstitions, fallacious imaginations, narrow outlook, frivolous gods, violence and bloodshed. It must have a definite aim which is much more higher and provide valuable in real human values, It must be capable of preserving men from weariness or tiredness permanently and the feeling that all is vanity or worthlessness.

If life is to be fully human, it must serve some end which is outside human life. Some end which is impersonal and above mankind, such as God, truth, omniscience, universal love or beauty etc.

Those who best promote life don’t have life for their purpose; rather they aim at what seems like a gradual incarnation, a bringing into our human existence of something eternal. Something beyond strife, failure, time and death. We must aim “to contact with eternity”. And we need a ‘religion’ which is true in sense and capable to provide a contact to the eternity.

What we must do? : -

We must therefore find, devise and develop a “True Religion” which is almost near to truth if not completely truthful. Then we must practice its Holy and divine principles faithfully and respectfully, so that we are enabled to cure the religious disease or disorder pervading throughout the world.

We have to work hard and wholeheartedly towards the acquirement of ultimate aim of the human life through the application of ‘True Religion’ and its subordinates like knowledge, love, courage, independence, self-respect, fearlessness, intelligence and divinity.

The Nature Of the Soul Is Eternal.

The nature of the soul is eternal.

We take birth in the universe with entire ignorance into our brains. Slowly we get some knowledge of the world from our milieu and environment. The finite and selfish nature of the self, causes our body to move such that, it is always after satisfaction of bodily desires through the use of materialistic substances and it does not care much to know its real nature and reunion with God, The Creator and Sustainer of life.

It is the responsibility of religion to teach the humankind to act in such a way that along with the satisfaction of individual desires, the man also exerts for his emancipation. The human lifespan is about unstable nature and time of death is unsure. Hence it turns necessary for human beings to put their endeavors for the attainment of self recognition and thereby emancipating their soul from worldly miseries and acquire eternal bliss.

The world today is in keen need of a system or a method which confirms to the scientific standards and whose modus operandi is acceptable to the people without wondering. As well as the human fellowship is in severe need of such a divine system, which when applied to an individual or a group of people would result in the acquirement of both the worlds and godly aims. The most significant weakness of today’s religious systems working in the universe is that they are perplexed. It is not easily inferred that which one of the operating system is true and correct to accompany.

We examine in our everyday life that the babies are getting born, growing up, becomes young, get old, and ultimately die one day. In applying a thought over this fact, one wonders what is the life? Who am I, really? From where I came into the world? Where would I go to? What will happen to me after my death? What is the life? Why it is gifted to me as well as to other creatures? Is there someone who manipulates the life and its activities? If yes, then who is He and what is his genuine nature and form? How he could be pleased to build our lives better? What is the true objective of the life? And how to live and achieve that aim?

Answers to all these questions, elucidations of the mystical nature of the universe and other entities have been given by various personal including various incarnations of the God,  which ultimately resulted in a faith which has expounded some kind of rules and precepts to follow.

‘God’ and ‘Soul’ are the only two recognized  eternal things so far and everything except these two is thought,  believed, claimed and established to be transitory. Even these entities could also be proved to be elusive and fallacious and these two could be proved to dissolve into an entity known as ‘nothingness’. This nothingness is a state of cognizance that is able to absorb and suck completely into it and then emerge suddenly into life out of nowhere and start performing every activity which it desires. In this manner each and every thing present in this universe could be proven illusory and a mere fallacy.

Nevertheless, we observe that universe remains as it is after the death of individuals. This proves (or at least tries to exhibit) That ‘nature’ is eternal. But the phenomenon of decaying which is applicable to everybody, when applied to whole universe proves that the world also has its life, though it is much more than a human being which is merely about a hundred years.

Since creature should have come from somewhere, it is thought that the soul is eternal and suffers transmigration until its liberation from the bondage of life and death. And since we are not much potent and always find ourselves impotent before an unseen power controlling destiny of creatures, phenomenon of ‘God’ comes into existence, who is considered to be omnipotent and all capable to destroy our miseries and grieves. Hence, only the Soul and the Supreme Soul remain to be conceived as eternal and nothing other than these two is everlasting.

Signification of Religion in life.

Significance of Religion in life :-

In the past, religion had helped in the spread of education, had saved peoples from frustration, had developed the spirit of toleration, had added rituals to make ceremonies charming, had helped in union with God, had helped in purification of Souls, had provided a sense of equality, had ended narrow outlooks, had developed the power of integration and cooperation, had added beauty to the universe through architecture and fine arts, and finally it had helped in stopping blood shed and violence. Religion had been a good instrument for helping needy and poor persons.

Religion is the tool by which a man can become ‘God’ or religion makes a man god. It is the duty of religion to save him from all other worldly miseries and ultimately provide the eternal bliss.

Religion reduces the effects of sins, carried over to this life, from previous lives and purifies the Soul, so that it is enabled to get contacted with the divine powers. lt purifies the behavior of the individual and elevates his social status and increases self confidence. It increases the patience of individual, truthfulness, love, wisdom, faith in God. equanimity, purity of thought and action and prudence, whereas violence, desire of theft etc. are eliminated which are sources of many miseries.

It develops an impartial view to the servitude. love and vision. In this way religion helps an individual to uplift himself from a lower level to the level of gods, from finite to infinite and from local to universal.

Nature of the Soul and it's Bondage.

Nature of the soul and its bondage.

Nature and function of the Soul and the body: -

Creatures are thought to possess a body inside which is pervading a Soul. The phenomenon of the Soul comes into existence owing to the fact that on the death of the creature there finds something lacking. It appears as if a pot moved throughout its life due to some hidden power and now that power had stopped itself functioning. And then that the body, even looking same as before, does not possess that functioning power. That power which causes a physical structure to function and makes it look alive is known as ‘Soul’ of that body.

This Soul is believed to possess many bodies inside a body. They are the Physical Body, Vital Body, Mental Body, Intellectual Body and the hidden innermost essence of life, Bliss. A compounding of all these is then terminated as ‘Soul’. The physical structure could be thought of as an instrument through which this Soul satisfies its desires and communicates with the external world in various ways or it may be thought of as the outer casing of the Soul. Therefore the “Bliss” is the nature of the Soul, which is pervading throughout the other bodies in the universe. Bliss is the genuine nature of human beings.

The finite and the infinite nature of Soul:-

The Human Soul is strange and exhibits wonderful characteristics. It owns the qualities of God and a brute both and between these there lies quality of human. The finite Soul is self centered and infinite Soul is impartial. The finite Soul exhibits characteristics of smaller visions of here and now, love to the owns and hatred to the others, it essentially separates one man from another and rest of the universe it consist of self centered thoughts, desires, distortions, errors, strives, feelings of mine and yours, small love to allies, no love to enemies, untruth in thought, injustice in action, has a life with boundaries and barriers, is private, based on principle of division and results in essential conflict, desire of self preservation, builds prison-walls around it, endeavors to restrain from freedom (i.e. emancipation), aims dominion or lordship and thus is a source of all miseries and grieves.

Whereas the infinite Soul is universal, impartial, aims at the good, give love to all, leads to truth in thought, justice in action and universal love in feeling, has a life without barriers, embraces the whole creation. It is independent of here, now and me, it is the principle of union in the world, provides a ways to a more complete life, it gets around the prison-walls built about the finite self. It is liberal, peaceful, devoid of conflicts and disturbances, gives deeper insight to the individual, provides a harmonious life, infinite wisdom and love.

Nature of bondage: -

The savage man, knowing that the individual life is brief and impotent, is always terrified by the fact of death. The finite life of man is one, particular, finite, self centered, is attached to the body and views the world from the standpoint of the here and now. All those loves and hatreds which are established upon some service to the self belong to the finite life. The beloved of man and woman and the love of parents and children, when they don’t go beyond the promptings of the instincts are still part of animal nature. They see the universe as grouped about one point, the single struggling self. So the finite part of our life contains all that makes the individual man essentially separate from other men and from the rest of the universe.

All those thoughts and desires that cannot in their nature are dealt by the inhabitants of a different body. All the distortions that make error and the entire insistent claim that leads strife. The finite nature of the ego, is the principle of division of the universe and seek the welfare of the body and its descendants. The finite self impelled by the desire of self preservation builds prison—walls round the finite character of our nature and endeavor to restrain it from that free life in the whole which constitutes its being. The finite self aims at dominion and it is the major cause of bondage and slavery of the soul.

Eternal nature of the soul.

Eternal nature of the soul.

We take birth in the universe with entire ignorance into our minds. Slowly we get some knowledge of the world from our surroundings and environment. The finite and selfish nature of the self, causes our body to move such that, it is always after satisfaction of bodily desires through the use of materialistic substances and it does not care much to know its genuine nature and reunion with God, The Creator and Sustainer of life.

It is the responsibility of religion to teach the humans to act in such a way that along with the satisfaction of individual desires, the man also exerts for his emancipation. The human lifespan is about unstable nature and time of death is uncertain. Hence it turns necessary for human beings to put their endeavors for the attainment of self realization and thereby emancipating their soul from worldly miseries and acquire eternal bliss.

The world today is in great need of a system or a method which confirms to the scientific standards and whose modus operandi is acceptable to the people without questioning. As well as the human society is in severe need of such a divine system, which when applied to an individual or a group of people would result in the acquirement of both the worlds and godly aims. The most significant weakness of today’s religious system working in the universe is it's complication. It is not easily inferred that which one of the operating system is true and correct to follow.

We see in our everyday life that the babies are getting born, growing up, becomes young, get old, and ultimately die one day. In giving a thought over this fact, one wonders what is the life? Who am I? From where I came to the universe? Where would I go? What will happen to me after death? What for is life? Why it is given to me as well as to other creatures? Is there someone who controls the life and its activities? If yes, then who is He and what is his true nature and form? How he could be pleased to make our lives better? What is the true aim of the life? And how to live and attain that aim?

Answers to all these questions, elucidations of mystery nature of the universe and other entities have been given by various personal including various incarnations of the God,  which ultimately resulted in a faith which has expounded some kind of rules and precepts to follow.

‘God’ and ‘Soul’ are the only two recognized  eternal things so far and everything except these two is thought,  believed, claimed and proved to be transitory. Even these entities could also be proved to be elusive and fallacious and these two could be proved to dissolve into an entity known as ‘nothingness’. This nothingness is a state of consciousness that is capable to absorb and suck completely into itself and then emerge suddenly into life out of nowhere and start performing every activity which it desires. In this manner each and every thing present in this universe could be proven illusory and a mere fallacy.

However we observe that universe remains as it is about the death of individuals. This proves (or at least tries to show) that ‘nature’ is eternal. But the phenomenon of decaying which is applicable to everybody, when applied to whole universe proves that the universe also has its life, though it is much more than a human being which is merely about a hundred years.

Since creature should have come from somewhere, it is believed that the soul is eternal and suffers transmigration until its liberation from the bondage of life and death. And since we are not much potent and always find ourselves impotent before an unseen power controlling destiny of creatures, phenomenon of ‘God’ comes into existence, who is believed to be omnipotent and all capable to destroy our miseries and grieves. Hence, only the Soul and the God (Supreme Soul) remains to be considered as eternal and nothing other than these two is everlasting.

The aim of life and religion.

The Aim of human life and the True Religion.

We have a very wide range of religious systems operating in this universe. Everybody is related to some religious belief in which he offers his faith and devotion. But he scarcely knows, what is the aim and function of human life? What religion has to serve with that aim? Human life is about unstable nature and time of death is unsure. It can kill anybody, anytime and anyplace. Thus, it is our sole duty to know about ourselves, our aim, and true nature of religion, its aim and function.

In this unstable and mortal world, two things are acknowledged to be eternal, the Soul and the Supreme Soul, “The God”. Take out these two, everything exhibits an essential characteristic of instability and change, and also suffers with the phenomena of decaying. The body, in which the Soul and Supreme Soul both dwell, has an indispensable characteristic of finiteness. It always, is being used by the Soul as an instrument for the satisfaction of its desires through materialistic substances.

The human physical structure is like a covering or casing for the Soul. Within this physical body there are vital, mental, intellectual bodies and inside that there is Soul in the form of bliss. The Soul exhibits two natures of being finite, as well infinite. The finite nature is brutal and infinite nature is divine. The Human life has two objectives, according to the nature of the Soul. One is the provision of happiness through worldly and materialistic means, i.e. prosperity and the other is the actualization of the bliss through the patterns of ‘True Religion’,

The religion plays very important role in human life in this regard. It is an instrument for associating Soul with The Lord of the universe, ‘The God’. Thus making men gods. The etymological meaning of the word 'religion' is derived to be ‘reunited' and this reunion is the reunion of the Soul and the Supreme Soul.

The Earth has the need of a philosophy or ‘a religion’ which is capable of the provision of both the aims, be truthful as far as possible and be scientific in nature. It must be in confirmation with the scientific methods available to us. We must therefore find, develop and devise a ‘True Religion’ which shall satisfy our requirements and reduce the conflicts. We do not need religions based on superfluous belief, fairy tales or some lunatic.

Human Soul is bounded by the body and its desires. Along with fulfilling bodily requirements, if we adopt the ‘True Religion’ then emancipation and the attainment the bliss is possible. ‘True Religion' means a ‘factual religion’ or ‘a method of reunion with God’. The process of provisioning includes a performance of ‘True Religion’ with whole faith and devotion, realization of the Self, The God, omniscient and then bliss.

Life after emancipation is normal life, but the vision is unlike since it has always viewed the infinite. This life is devoid of conflicts, strives and grieves and is full of love, service and wisdom. This type of life is life in its genuine sense.

Clear that busy mind.

"Free up your mind and lead a better life".

Everyone is busy. Some people are busy with the work, some with the problems of every day life, some other are busy with the house hold problems and the others that matters to different people at different times. So what to do so that these problems do not affect the lives? Or if they are persistent how to cool things down to maintain a healthy lifestyle and brain health?

Try the following methods which are found to be helpful in worst situations and solve the problem of brain congestion. Cool stuff down and make sure that you are free from the unwanted brain congestion.

WRITING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS.
1. Relax, take a glass of water, a cup of coffee or tea, soft drinks or however you can sit in a relaxing manner.
2. Take a piece of paper and a pen or pencil.
3. Start writing about your problems that are relevant to your life style and most disturbing to your life.
4. Usually the most demanding would likely come at first.
5. Try more and write more problems which you may have.
6. Keep writing.
7. Write down everything that's on your mind. Then decide what needs your urgent action.

MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION.
1. Make a list of problems that require your urgent action.
2. Make a list of problems that can be done little later (Postpone).
3. Make a list of the problems that can be put on hold.
4. Make a list of the problems that can be left alone.
5. Make a list of the problems that can be suspended.
6. Make a list of the problems that can be rejected altogether.
7. Make a list of the problems that are not absolutely necessary.

WORKING WITH THE LIST.
Now items number 4, 5 and 6 can be forgotten. Or can be kept for future reference. Finally act according to your own list.

Or make it even easier.
Make three columns namely, 1. Act. 2. Hold. And 3. Delete.

Put your all the work list items accordingly and Act according to the list.

Action according to the list.
1. First of all the items that are available in the delete list should be deleted without any hesitation and delay.
2. The item that has been put on hold can be used for future reference.
3. The only item that requires you to act upon are available in the action list.
4. Prioritize the item available in the action list further.
5. Find out more items that can be delayed further.
6. Now you have most important things in the list that require you to act upon.
7. Only act on the most important things that are relevant to your lifestyle.
8. That's it.
You have freed your mind from all the things that are unrelated and irrelevant to your lifestyle.

This procedure might well save lives.

"Everything" means Everything. This procedure can work with anyone and free up the burdens of loads on the brain. But it takes a few trials to get the stuff out of the mind and cool things down.

To help with that processing, here are a few things you should include while considering and making the right decisions.
1. Unfinished tasks That require your attention.
2. Business and leisure activities and trips you want to make.
3. Personal appointments with the people you think you should do lunch with or you want to meet with.
4. Personal development skills you want to develop.
5. Information development and the subjects you want to learn.
6. Personal inability check. The areas of your life in which you feel inadequate to and need help with such as physical, educational, professional and other.
7. Personal grievances, the regrets about your past decisions and choices.
8. Personal goals, the dreams that followed your life and look if you can work out if you get a chance to start over again. 9. Personality halt, the ways you feel trapped in, getting resistance or being stopped.
10. Personal affairs, the interpersonal conflicts that you are involved with, such as relationships and friends.
11. House plans, the house building and home repair issues and house renovation issues.
12. Drift in personal choice, the things you're dissatisfied with and want to change.
13. Personal goals, the goals you and other people want you to pursue.
14. Economical stress, the worries about the economy of the individual and the household.
15. Personal relationship, the worries about the loved ones.
16. Personal habits, the habits you want to establish or abandon.
17. Miscellaneous, everything else you remember that has come to mind at some point over the last few days or more.
18. All that stuff that require your attention. And if you want a clear mind, you must deal with all of it.

Okay now is the time to get a good response from the same busy mind.

Don't get surprised if you get hundreds of the things put off your mind.

Finally, it has been observed that during mental stress an half hour of meditation, a visit to the nearby holy place and a pilgrimage are miraculous.

Best of luck!!!

Application of True Religion.

"APPLICATION OF TRUE RELIGION”

We have a very wide range of religious systems operating in this universe. Everybody is related to some religion in which he offers his faith and devotion. But he hardly knows, what is the aim and function of human life? What religion has to do with that aim?

Human life, of course,is unstable in nature and time of death is uncertain. It can kill anybody, anytime and anywhere. So it is our sole duty to know about ourselves, our aim, and true nature of religion, its aim and function.

In this unstable and mortal world, two things are recognized to be eternal, the Soul, "the  individual" and the Supreme Soul, “The God”. Except these two, everything exhibits an essential characteristic of instability, variations and change, and also suffers with the phenomena of decaying.

The body, in which the Soul and Supreme Soul both dwell, has an essential characteristic of finiteness. It always is being used by the Soul as an instrument to satisfy its desires through materialistic substances. The body is like a covering or casing for the Soul. Within this physical body there are vital, mental, intellectual bodies and within that there is Soul in the form of bliss. The Soul exhibits two natures of being finite, as well infinite. The finite nature is brutal and infinite nature is Divine.

Human life has two aims, according to the nature of the Soul. One is the provision of happiness through worldly means and the other is the realization of bliss through the practice of ‘religion’. The religion plays very significant role in- human life in this regard. It is an instrument for associating Soul with The Creator of the universe. Thus making men gods.

The etymological meaning of the word religion is derived to be ‘reunion'. The reunion of Soul And Supreme Soul. The world has the need of a order or a 'religion’ which is capable of the provision of both the aims, be truthful as far as possible and be scientific in nature. It must be in confirmation with the scientific methods available to us.

People must follow  the ‘True Religion’ which shall meet our requirements and reduce our conflicts. We do not need religions based on superfluous belief, fairy tales or some lunatic.

Human Soul is bounded by the body and it's desires. Along with fulfilling bodily requirements, if we follow the ‘True Religion’ then emancipation and the attainment of bliss is possible. "True Religion means a ‘factual religion’ or ‘a method of reuniting with the God’.

The process of perfection includes the performance of 'True Religion’ with whole faith and devotion, realization of the Self and The God along with emancipation. Life after emancipation is a normal life, but the vision is different. It always sees the infinite. The life thereafter is devoid of conflicts, strives and grieves. The life thereafter is full of love, service and wisdom instead and this type of life is life in its true sense.

True Religion In Vedic Literature.

True Religion in Vedic Literature.

The only religion of the world is Satya Dharma i.e True religion. The same religion is expounded many times by the gifted saints. The True Religion has the basis in the Vedas as found in Vedic Literature and also is in conformity with the Vedic Religion and the existing world religions. The Vedic Religion has it's emphasis on the sacrifice whereas the True Religion has emphasis on meditation.  Though the utility of the sacrifices is not denied. However the attainment of emancipation through acquisition of true soul knowledge by self purification is the main objective of the True Religion. The analysis is laid down ��

In Yajur Veda prayers for the truth are found.
"May I attain the fulfillment of my heart, the Truthfulness of Speech. Yajur Veda - 39/4.
"May I go straight to Truth, place me in peace". Yajur Veda - 5/5.

No violation is confirmed in the Sam Veda.
Sam Veda orders not to violate. Sam Veda - 3/1/10.

Prayer for purity in the Rigveda is given as,
"This day may Pavaman, the most active purifier, purify us with His purifying power". The Pavaman meaning "The Purifier". Rigveda - 9/67/22.
And in Sam Veda as, " O friends, let us praise the Great Pure Lord with the pure Sam songs and by pure Hymns. May He quickly be pleased with blessings, by the Holy Hymns. Sam Veda - 3/12/9.

To teach the Detachedness from worldly affairs Yajur Veda questions that,
"Each and everything about the world in this universe is pervaded wholly by the God. For that utilize it with Detachedness, do not get attached to it. This wealth belongs to whom?". Means that this wealth belongs to no one. Yajur Veda - 40/1.

The question " This wealth belongs to whom?" also clears the concept of non-stealing. Since one should not take anything which does not belong to him. Yajur Veda - 40/1.

For regular meditations Sam Veda precepts that,
"To receive the awake consciousness of mind or Intellect, the man meditating on the God with his mind or Heart i.e. faith, should meditate or give place in the heart, to the God along with the rays of the Sun i.e. should meditate on the God who is all lustrous". Sam Veda - 1/2/9.

For abstinence the Atharva Veda says that,
"By the penance (abstinence) And the chastity (celibacy), the Holy saints are driving away the death i.e. they are attaining Salvation. By chastity, they receive heavenly light from the God".

For equanimity Yajur Veda says that, "What delusion and what grief can there remain in him, who sees the one alone and whose vision has become one alone, in whose sight all that existing has become one".

For prudence Yajur Veda says that,
"The man who beholds all creatures in the self, sees the self in all beings, is no longer harassed by doubt and anxiety". Yajur Veda - 40/6.

For devotion to God and His worship Atharva Veda precepts that,
"Worship the loftiest Brahm i.e. Supreme God. Lord of what has been and what will be in future, the Ruler of the Universe and the dispenser of the light in heaven. Atharva Veda - 10/8/1.

Thus we see that the True Religion is in conformity of the Vedic Religion and Vedic Literature. Except the main point of stress, the Vedic Religion and the True Religion coincide at many points. The Vedic Religion emphasized on the sacrificing rituals, whereas the True Religion emphasize on regular meditation. This happens to be the main difference between the two systems of religions.

It seems that the yoga method in Vedic times was not much popular. It could mean that the necessity of the yogic path was felt irrelevant and unimportant for the common people. However the necessity of the sacrificing rituals was felt more important since it could potentially produce the effects in short duration of times and is a powerful tool to provide fulfillment of worldly desires.

The Name Of Religion As Satya Dharam.

The name of Religion as Satya Dharam.

The basic name of universal religion as found in the Vedas and the Upanishads is Satya Dharam i.e. True Religion.

In the hymns of Sam Veda 1/1/3/12 and 2/8/2/1,  in Vrihadaranyak Upanishad 1/4/14 and in Ishavashyopanishad 15, the name of universal religion is said to be Satya Dharam or True Religion.

Sam Veda 1/1/3/12.
"O man, worship the Poet i.e. Omniscient and all knowing, True Religionist i.e. whose Religion is True Religion, God, in sacrificial fire which is prophylactic or sanative i.e. healing". Here the name of religion is said as Satya Dharam i.e. True Religion.

Sam Veda 2/8/2/1.
" The beautiful people who are knower of the utility of this nectar i.e. Soma, leave these nectars in the way (sacrifices) to religion of truthfulness ". The name of religion is said to be Satya Dharam i.e. True Religion.

Vrihadaranyak Upanishad 1/4/14.
" The religion created by God is the controller of the warrior class (Kshatriyas). Hence there is nothing superior to the Religion. Through Religion the impotents starts wishing to win the potents, as with the help of the King. This very Religion is Satyam i.e. True for sure and certain. That's why speakers of truth are known as religionists and religionists are called as speakers of truth because these both are religions only i.e. True behavior and True knowledge are both the form of a single religion i.e. True Religion. The name of the religion is said to be True Religion or Satya Dharam.

Ishavashya Upanishad 15.
"The face i.e. True form of Truth is concealed by the pot of golden lusture i.e. celestial light (The Sun). O God, you remove that bright golden lusturous screen for the vision of True Religion (Satya Dharam). The name of Religion and also God is said to be Satya Dharam or True Religion.

Thus we see that actual name of religion is Satya Dharam or True Religion. True Religion could mean the way to Truth, the religion of truth, the religion for truth etc.

However the True Religion as expounded and defined by Satya Dharam Mission or  the True Religion Mission is, "True Religion is that system of living which keeps the Soul joyous (or happy and healthy) and ultimately reunites the Soul with the Supreme Soul i.e. Almighty God.

Thus we can see that the True Religion must provide the Joy and the God both and it is clear that this system is absolutely different from the much appriciated judicial system.

The Vedic Religion.

The Aryans did sacrifices and called forth the gods by reciting hymns (Many people still perform these rituals). Often all the hymns were devoted to the gods and were used in the sacrifices.
In Rigvedic times these gods were the symbols of the virtues of natural and godly Divine possessions and Powers. They were formless in spite of being expressed with forms at various places in the Rigveda. Although there's polytheism in Rigveda, however it's outer meaning of Vedic hymns. The inner message of the Vedas only reveals of a Supreme Power at the root. In fact the Vedic seers worshipped only one conscious power which is Creator of the Universe, i.e. root cause of the creation. Only this power is Parmatma, Ishwar, Purush or Brahm. Various gods that are referred to only reveal the various powers and qualities of the same Great Power.
Due to the divine and extraordinary nature of these specific powers, they are called as deities or smaller or inferior gods, but in reality these gods mean only the Supreme God.
"That Supreme God, although being one, is called forth and presented through several names by the seers. He happened to be the Lord of all the sacrifices which takes the form of Religion". Rigveda 6/45/16.
Through the expression of the Purush Sukta  i.e. God's hymn, the Rigveda recognized only one God as the Supreme Being and the Soul of the Universe. Rigveda 10/90.
The Supreme Power (God) is the Creator, Controller and the Destroyer of the Universe and provides power to the various gods or deities. He is Omnipresent and Omnipotent Power. Vedic Religion is called forth the Religion of Sacrifices. In general, sacrifices are known as obligations and offerings made in the sacred fire, however sacrifices do have another meaning also, such as Brahm Yagya, Dravya Yagya, Tapoyagya, Yogyagya, Swadhyaya Yagya, Dan Yagya and Gyan Yagya etc. The God has been called forth as "The form of sacrifice" and has been ordained the name of Yagyeshwar and Yagyapurush.

Importance Of Religion In Human Life.

There are many religions present in the world today, and it seems contradictory that man has so many religions without the knowledge and importance of religion in human life, the truth regarding religion and the true nature of universal religion. It is well known and established that all the present religions of the world are just names of some sort of political organizations basically based upon faith and are thus not True Religions. A faith is what we believe in, but the truth is what actually is. Due to this difference, man had gone astray and has developed various thoughts according to personal suitability and preferences. These so called religions are not able to to uplift a Soul to Supreme Reality. Also in addition to the above mentioned facts, today's available religions had become complex and thus are not easily understood. But on the contrary it is also true that we must have a True Religion in this universe which might have been suppressed and faded away due to political, administrative, social and scientific changes occurred in the course of time.

Let's ask ourselves why do we require a Religion at all? Can't we breathe and live without a Religion? Of course we could live without a Religion just in the manner as the animals, birds and the plants are living. However the souls other than human souls have various limitations. On the other hand humans have the power of Intellect, power to analyze, power to understand and power to manipulate. Other creatures are inferior to man in this regard. Hence the humans are required to live a well structured, superior and truthful way of life. That particular way or system of living is known as Religion. The purer will be the life if this system is pure. The life will be truthful if this system is truthful. The life will be well structured if this system is well structured. Why? Because the life solely depends upon the structure of living i.e. Religion. If Religion is malformed and malfunctioning then whole society will become malformed and malfunctioning. However when this system is accurate and performing well then the life will be able to provide a fuller meaning, wisdom, peace and joy, which is supposed to be the main aim of this life. By this system one is able to know the hidden facts of the nature, the divine power working in various manners and the phenomena of various living and nonliving bodies. The Ultimate Reality could only be realized with the help of True Religion. The knowledge of the Ultimate Reality or The God is the aim of life, as said in Atharva Veda.
"I know the Greatest God or Supreme Soul, who being beyond darkness and ignorance, is in the form of Sun or the divine source of wisdom. Only after knowing him one fords the death. There's no any other path available to walk away and cross the death".
" And after knowing the Supreme Truth one should stand up and perform all his duties withholding and accomplishing his four Persuits i.e. Dharma (Religion), Artha (Wealth), Kama (Wish) and Moksha (Emancipation)".
"O man, carefully cover i.e. study and know the well nourished and matured Soul, in the form of Universe, with all of it's components by developed eminent power i.e. soul knowledge, then you, after knowing the supreme form of pleasure i.e. Supreme Soul or The God, rise (stand up) and situate (get celebrated) in all directions along with the designations of Religion, Wealth, Desire and Emancipation".
Being thus respected in all directions the Soul i.e. the creature feels a sense of joy within him and gets satisfied. His aims are thus fulfilled. The True Religion Mission also recognizes Emancipation through Soul knowledge as the highest aim of human life and the True Religion expounded by The True Religion Mission is the True System for the attainment of The God.

Somethingism.

Somethingism.

What's Somethingism?

Somethingism is a belief system for people who believe in something - but who haven't a clue what that Something might be or is. It's a brand new Religion. In Holland, a stripped-down belief system is rising up. In Dutch, Somethingism is known as Ietsisme (ITS-is-meh). In Hinduism it is different. In Hinduism It's known as "Om Soaham". Which means that or he or she or it is me myself. Sa in Sanskrit meaning other than myself and aham meaning myself. Somethingism, It's a nice niche for those who aren't at all sure what God is like. Nearly a quarter of all people now check the box "None" when asked their religious affiliation. I wonder how many of those Nones would be happy, given the chance, to check a box labeled "Somethingist" or "Nothingist"? Nothingist is not a possible belief system. However Somethingism is still a hope.

The Question Of God.

The Question Of God.

There are many answers to the questions about God. There are whole lot of books and libraries that are filled with the knowledge of God claiming that they know God better than anyone else ever did. But had anyone there in the past history who were known to God? History claims many of them, but did they really knew God? Is there anyone who knows God at present so that one can go over to and ask? I think No. God is still unknown subject.

I Don't Know Yet, I am sure about that and for the same reason I know that You Don't Know Either but just pretend to know. I'm wondering, what's God like in real? This makes God wonderful. For the reason God is wonderful, does anything that makes you wonder could be considered as God? I will say No. How to know God? As a he, she, that or it? As the biggest to be beyond sky limita? As the kindest who can shower wishes whenever or wherever. As all mighty who created the world? An egoistic who always likes to be worshipped and lets people think that they are so little and mean? A parent, a teacher, a guide or a king, who keeps a check on our activities? A lover who is fond of devout and talks to people who worship and adore?
A magical instrument that respond to the chants and witchcraft? Or is the Divine that is some sort of permeating and diffuse and universal Spirit who inhabits oceans, sky and earth? A malformed creature that is a worm, butterfly, bird, plant and simultaneously human?
Or a none of the above? Or some sort of undiscoverable thing? Electricity that powers? Electronic charges and photons? Dwelling in heart and brain and controlling our thoughts emotions and feelings alongside our actions? I don't know what God is like exactly or if God even is really. But I know that, that Something is going on here there and everywhere? Maybe God do exist.

Because.

Once a few Englishmen were discussing Indians and said "Indians can't speak English"

Over hearing this Swami Vivekananda asked them,
    "can you tell a sentence in which the word BECAUSE comes three times one after another continually?"

Englishmen could not answer and Swami ji replied
        "You can never start a sentence with because, because because is a conjunction!"

Englishmen fainted

Computers Joke.

Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to develop programs on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of a river. He used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the Sunday market.

One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table and fell in the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his childhood (The woodcutter and the Axe), he started praying to the River Goddess.

The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared only after one month of rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that he had lost his computer in the river.

As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty. She showed him a match box and asked, "Is this your computer?" Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of computer awareness, the engineer replied, "No."

She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and asked if that was his.

Annoyed, the engineer said "No, not at all!!"

Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine and asked if it was his.

The engineer, left with no option, sighed and said "Yes."

The River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was about to give him all three items, but before she could make the offer, the engineer asked her, "Don't you know that you're supposed to show me some better computers before bringing up my own?"

The River Goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know that, you stupid donkey! The first two things I showed you were the Trillennium and the Billennium, the latest computers ". So saying, she disappeared with the Pentium machine!!!

The Beholder Doesn't Hate The World.

However, the person who repeatedly beholds or perceives all the creatures within The God and The God within all the creatures, doesn't hate anyone or anything after that perception. Ishavashya Upanishad. 1/6

Thus (whoever) the one who sees everyone (every creature) and everything (the great five elements) within The God and also sees The God within every creature (everyone) and the great five elements (everything) can not hate or detest anything or anyone. That person merely keeps bowing to everyone and everything, repeatedly beholding The God everywhere and within everything and merely wants to provide happiness to everyone by all possible means.

Where, by thorough knowledge, all the creatures have became the Soul merely, beholding the oneness, there can not be any fascination and bereavement. Ishavashya Upanishad. 1/7

Thus whenever a person recognizes The God by thorough knowledge, then his vision becomes Divine everywhere. When he visualizes only one element, The God within every creature, then he continues to visualize The God everywhere and in everything forever. Then there can not dwell imperfections like fascination and bereavement etcetera in his inner self. He becomes that much joyful that the slightest shadows of the imperfections like woe and the captivation doesn't even remain within his inner self anywhere. In fact, he keeping doing everything in the eyes of people, remains in divine amusement of The God. For him there is nothing more left except The God and His divine pageant.

He (who beholds The God) unites with the one (The God), who is extremely resplendent, without any minute body, unharmed (well protected), veinless (without any physical body), beyond actions and their fruits (without any connections to the good or evil actions). Who is all knowing (prudent), intellectual genius, beyond existence and self existent (self manifested) and is The Creator of all objects (everything) suitably according to the actions of all the creatures since eternity. Ishavashya Upanishad. 1/8

Hence it is clear that the person who knows The God doesn't hate the world and also that he ultimately unites with The God.

Inconceivable Nature Of God.

He walks, He never walks. He is far from the farthest, He is near to the nearest. He is inside every thing, He is absolutely outside of everything. Ishavashya Upanishad. 1/5

The God can walk, but at the same time He never walks. In whom, all the contradictory actions, characteristics and states can exist, He is God absolutely. This is the greatness of His inconceivable power.
For example, in His divine abode and on earth, He acts normally to provide happiness to His devotees, this action of God can be regarded as His walking. On the other side He is ever static, this may be regarded as His non walking or motionless state.
Similarly, He never comes before the people who are destitute of devotion and love and thus may be regarded as far from the farthest. On the other hand, when He listens to the calls of His devotees then He may manifest Himself anywhere and thus He is near to the nearest. Otherwise He is fulfilled ever and everywhere, there's no such place where He doesn't exist or in other words He is Omnipresent. He dwells inside everyone, for this reason also He is near to the nearest. However the ignorant people do not recognize Him in these forms and states, hence for them He is far from the farthest.
In fact He is the base of the whole universe and He is the absolute cause of this world, hence He is fulfilled everywhere in side and also outside and His character is absolutely inconceivable.

Characteristics Of Almighty God.

He is immovable, one, quicker than the mind, firstling and knowledge. Deities doesn't know about Him. He being immovable transgresses all other movables. Air and water exist due to His existence. Ishavashya Upanishad. 1/4

He is Omnipresent and omnipotent. Though He is stationary and one, still He is faster than the mind. His speed is much more than other movables objects. Maybe He is fastest of all moving objects. Wherever the mind can go and reach, He is already present there and is farthest. Mind can not go where He is already present. He was first and were present before everything else and He is pure knowledge. Or in other words He is omniscient since He was present before anything came into existence and He knows everything in advance.
The saints and deities as well, doesn't know and can not know completely about Him. Everything that is movable with faster speeds, like mind, intelligence, senses or deities like air are always trying to investigate Him but He being ever still transgress every one of them. All of them never ever reach where He is already present and farthest.
How the one, who has boundaries can know the one, who is without any boundaries and infinite. Means it is impossible to know Him by the worldly methods, since all of the worldly methods have limitations. Moreover the power or the ability that is present within the deities like air, water and light to perform their duties, such as to provide breathing, rain and lighting, is present due to Him and is a portion of His omnipotency. They can not perform anything without His assistance.

Hell Experience.

Mystery Files: The Paintings Of Hell By A Korean Artist http://filesmystery.blogspot.in/2011/04/paintings-of-hell-by-korean-artist.html?m=1

Self Destructive People Travel To The Demoniacal Places After Death.

Whosoever people are self destructive in their nature, upon their death, they all repeatedly travel to the famous demoniacal places that are sheathed in darkness and ignorance. Ishavashya Upanishad. 1/3

Human body is superior to all of the other bodies and is rare, difficult to obtain and is obtained merely by the special grace of God to travel through or ford the ocean of worldly life. Those who don't offer their collections of actions for the worship of God, even after receiving the wonderful, blessed and best human body and think that enjoyment of lust is the supreme goal of life and due to their desires and attractions to the worldly objects, they keep themselves busy with merely enjoying the world by whatsoever means, are in fact self destructive in nature and behavior, because they don't care about the welfare of their soul and tend to kill their own soul. They are not only spoiling, wasting and expensing their lives in vain but they are also binding themselves in the bond of actions even more tensely and tightly.
These self destructive people, whosoever they are, whatsoever are their possessions, and whatever is their name, fame, mights, rights and fortune, always tend to travel to the demoniacal abodes and wander into the places of darkness and ignorance, that's sort of Hell. Upon rebirths they get birth in the various painful and grievous bodies other than splendourous humans and remain as such for an indefinite period of time.
For the reason explained above, all humans must offer their own actions and their fruits to The God and live the life by worshipping The God through the actions.
In this manner they can loosen their eternal bond of actions and free themselves from the dreadful circles of life and death and find Salvation.

Long for a hundred years long life.

Long for a  hundred years long life by doing specified actions as duties of this world. Thus the actions and their fruits shall not get attached to the humans. There is no way other than this (To get salvation from the bond of actions). Ishavashya Upanishad 1/2.

Since The God is the owner of this world. Hence the humans are to remember The God and use and enjoy the world by understanding that and by worshipping The God by own actions wish to live for hundred years long life. Thus the whole life must be submitted to The God. And every action should be done in favor of The God, to please Him and to worship Him and to serve Him. World is available for the worship and actions are available for enjoyment and not for own self. By doing thus the humans shall not be bounded by the actions and their fruits. Hence this is the only way to liberation from the bandage. There is no other way for salvation.

Enjoy the world with submission to The God.

Whatever is present in this whole universe is pervaded by The Omnipresent God. Enjoy this world with the feeling of surrender, don't strive hard after this, since this prosperity or property belongs to none except The God. Ishavashya Upanishad 1/1.

This is a sort of sacred order of God through The Veda, for the humans across the earth that whatever living or not living world that is heard and seen in this whole universe is pervaded by The Omnipresent God and always everywhere is fulfilled by Him. No part of the universe is destitute of the Omnipresent God. By understanding thus, by keeping The God with own self, by continuously remembering Him, by abandoning the attractiveness and possessiveness, every action be done for the worship of The Omnipresent God or in other words people should enjoy the prosperity, beauty and other things that are present in this world, only for the performances of the duty. The mind should not get entangled in the prosperity of this world. This is the best way to live. In fact  the prosperity of this world belongs to no one but all which ultimately means that the prosperity of this whole world belongs to only The Omnipresent God. Humans get attached and become possessive merely by mistake or ignorance. Everything that is present belongs to The God and must only be used for His Happiness and wish.

Creation of various humans and division of The Creator.

For the expansion of the humans, The Creator Brahma created The Brahmins from His mouth, Kshatriyas from His arms, Vaishyas from His stomach and The Shudras from His feet. Manu Smiriti.
1/33

To equalise the creation, The Creator Brahma divided himself into two parts. On division, His half portion retained himself and became Man (Manu) and the other divided half became a woman (Shatrupa). Then they had Intercourse with each other and thus they created this great universe. Manu Smiriti. 1/34

Manu said, O Saints! I am the same and the one, whom The Virat Purush (The Biggest Man) have created after performance of severe Austerity. Hence you may know me as the Creator of the whole Universe. Manu Smiriti. 1/35

I myself have performed severe Austerity to create the creatures and after succeeding in that, first of all I produced the Ten Great Saints. Manu Smiriti. 1/36

The Ten Great Sages that were produced by The Manu are, Marichi, Atri, Angira, Pulastya, Pulah, Kritu, Pracheta, Vasistha, Bhrigu and Narad. Manu Smiriti. 1/37

Enforcement Of Actionism.

The creatures experience the grief and happiness merely through the minute characteristics of the great five Elements. If one hears sacred words (Sacred Scriptures), touches the favourable persons and things, experiences favourable visions, tastes and smells, then he gets happiness, but if one does the reverse, then the creature gets Grief as outcomes (fruits) of his actions. Manu Smiriti. 1/29

The various creatures of different names, groups and casts, started to take births and rebirths (repeatedly i.e. again and again) and started to act accordingly (i.e. according to their names, groups and casts of birth) as enforced by the commands given to them by The Creator Brahma, at the very beginning of creation. Manu Smiriti. 1/30
As the next season comes with it's own characteristics automatically after passing of the present season, similarly the actions performances (the right and wrong actions as a whole) of the creatures come automatically to them, and according to their action performances, the creatures get birth in various different names, casts and groups of the creatures (for example lion, tiger, cow, deer, thief, pirate, brahmin, yogi, King, preacher and minister etc. Manu Smiriti. 1/31

As the change of seasons show up their symptoms automatically, similarly in the same manner, the creatures holding (occupying) their body receive their actions and behavior spontaneously and get their actions that are applicable to their body (self) automatically. Manu Smiriti. 1/32

True Religion Community Created.

Creation of various components.

The creator after creating The Three Vedas, created time and made it's divisions. Then He made Planets and Stars. Later He made Oceans, Rivers, Mountains and Plain and Elevated earth. Manu Smiriti. 1/26

With the intention to create His people (Men) in the form of Human Being, He also created the (Tap) Austerity, (Vani) Speech, (Rati) Pleasure (Sexual), (Kam) Intercourse (Sexual) and Anger. Manu Smiriti. 1/27

For the determination of right and wrong actions He specified and distinguished the form of (Dharma or The Right Action) and (Adharma or The Wrong Action) and established that the right actions are the source of happiness and the wrong actions are the source of grief.
Thus He connected His people (and also creatures) with the duality of Happiness and Grief, Honor and Dishonor and Life and Death. Manu Smiriti. 1/28

Creation of The Chief Deities and The Three Vedas.

The Supreme Power God, in the very beginning, given different - different names and described their different - different actions (or duties) to the Great Five Elements, managed them and established them in the form of different - different establishments according to the words of The Vedas. Manu Smiriti. 1/23
The Owner of the all creatures created the deities of the active nature (i.e. who are active in natural own behavior. For example The Fire and The Air etc.), the minute assembly of the summon able deities and the Eternal Sacrificial Rite (Santana Yagya) etc. Manu Smiriti. 1/24
After that The Creator created three deities for the accomplishments of the sacrificial rituals namely The Fire, The Air and The Sun and the three Eternal Vedas namely The Rig Veda, The Yajur Veda and The Sam Veda in succession. Manu Smiriti. 1/25
Note: - Basically The Veda is only one. However The Veda has been divided into three parts according to the subject matter. Also, The Veda isn't really created. The Veda is Eternal. It being knowledge of the God, manifest during the creation process spontaneously. The duty to guard and defend them is handed over to the three deities namely The Fire, The Air and The Sun.

Characteristics of the five Great Elements.

The attributes of the Great Five Elements (i.e. The Sky, The Air, The Fire, The Water and The Earth) increase in succession and every forthcoming element retain the characteristics of the preceding elements.
For example, the first element The Sky has "Sound" characteristic, the second element The Air has two attributes. It's own characteristic "Touch" and also "Sound" taken from the previous element The Sky. The Fire has three attributes. It's own attribute is Form or Shape, Visibility to be more specific, and two others namely Sound and Touch, retained from The Sky and The Air. The fourth element The Water has Taste as it's own attribute and also has Sound, Touch and Form retained from the previous elements. The fifth element The Earth has five attributes. Namely Sound, Touch, Form and Taste along with it's own attribute Smell. Manu Smiriti. 1/22

Universe As Body Of The God.

The minute subtle elements namely the ego, sound, touch, form, taste and smell, are the form or bodies of the non manifested Braham in conjunction with the Nature, and they are dependents of the non manifested Braham due to action relations. For this reason the geniuses say that this universe is the body of Parmatma. In other words, when non manifested Braham takes the manifested form of universe then this very physical universe is known as the body or form of the God. Thus in minute form this very  physical world is the body of God and the power that's pervading in the universe is said as God. Manu Smiriti. 1/19
Thus from the Braham who's imperishable and creator of all the great elements (namely the Sky, the Air, the Fire, the Water and the Earth) all the minute elements (namely the Sound, the Touch, the Form, the Taste and the Smell) along with the mind were created. Manu Smiriti. 1/20
After that this perishable world were produced from the imperishable Brahm, by the portions of the minute forms of the seven great powerful men (namely the ego, the mind, the sound, the touch, the image, the taste and the smell). Manu Smiriti. 1/21

Creation of creatures.

After that Brahma created the great element ( Mahattattva ), all souls, three qualities of nature ( Sat, Raj and Tam ) and five organs ( eye, ear, nose, tongue and skin ) which are able to perceive all subjects ( form, sound, smell, taste and touch ). Manu Smiriti 1/17. The creator of the universe Brahma, then afterwards created all creatures by uniting all the six extremely powerful elements ( Ego or self and five minute elements of the five senses ) into their own measures ( sense of doing, form, taste, smell, sound and touching ). While He kept Himself out and away from all these with the attitude of " these are not mine". Many Smiriti 1/18.

Creation By Brahma.

Brahma broken down the egg into two parts. From one part of the egg He created Dyulok (Heavenly abode), and from another part He created Earthly abode and He made The Sky, The Eight Directions and  the place for eternal Water in between the Heavenly and Earthly abodes. Manu Smiriti 1/15
Brahma created the decisive and indecisive mind from His own nature and from The Mind He created the feeling or sense of the Self. Manu Smiriti 1/16

Birth Of Brahma.

Water is known as "Naar", because it is born out of "Nar" (Man), that is why the one that's born early is known as Narayan. Manu Smiriti 1/12
In fact the creator of the universe Parmatma remains invisible in this world.  The main base of eternal and true and false basic nature is known as Braham when He is along with  nature. Manu Smiriti 1/13
Brahma is born out of Braham, that's why named Brahma.
Brahma after living in the egg for one year ,  broken the egg with His power of contemplation. Manu Smiriti 1/14
One year of Brahma is equal to 31,10,40,00,00,000 human years.

Creation Of Brahmand And Brahma.

That implanted seed took the form of a bright egg that enlightened with a luster of thousands of Suns. After that Brahma born out from the same egg who been the creator of all the worlds. Manu Smiriti 1/11
Thus the whole universe developed by the seed that God Parmatma implanted into nature. Therefore it is evident that God Parmatma were present before the creation, is present in the middle or at present and will be present on the end of the creation. The Brahma has born from the same God Parmatma. He merely is the cause, doer and deed as well.

Implantation of the seed.

Implantation of the seed.
The God Parmatma, with the desire to create various species of the creatures, first of all created the nature constituting the basic five elements namely the earth, the water, the fire, the air and the sky and then implanted the seed into water. Many Smiriti 1/10
Here it is clear that Parmatma had a desire to create the creation. Then He created nature to hold the creatures and then He implanted the seed of the creatures in the water. The seed is also known as sperm.

Starting Of The Creation.

The creation is merely the manifestation of eternal God (Parmatma), the one, whom the senses are incapable to grasp, who is very minute and always dwelling in the creatures. Parmatma is the reason and He surely is the deed also. Manu Smiriti 1/9 The creation is nothing but the expression of eternal God. When He wishes to expose himself, He simply exposes Himself as creation. You call it universe, name it Brahmand, utter it nature or say creation in simple words, but the thing remains same. The reality doesn't change by changing it's nomenclature. It's just exposure of eternal God to Himself. However, when He become two or many then individual entity or the soul gets exposed to delusion. Parmatma in that particular soul or entity or you can say individual, forgets about His real nature. Hence the concept of creator, created and creation come into effect. The creator is God, created is individual and creation is universe. Our organs of senses and the senses itself can not grasp and comprehend Him. Reason? He is very minute. Extremely small and always dwells within the self. Finally He Himself is the cause and the effect as well. God is the cause of cause of action whose effect is the creation.

Manifestation Of The Spontaneous God Narayan.

Manifestation Of Spontaneous God Narayan. After the end of the time of the dissolution, The Spontaneous God Narayan, manifested Himself in the form of enlightenment of the great five elements which stimulate the nature (The Sky, The Air, The Fire, The Water and The Earth) by which the darkness went off and there became enlightenment. Manu Smiriti 1/8. Darkness disappears automatically wherever there is presence of light, and it hovers again when light disappears. God is light. Chiefly The Sun. The Sun is the mere visual Chief Deity while four of the other chief deities are latent or invisible.

Dissolution State Of Universe

This whole universe were fulfilled with darkness all around during the period of it's dissolution. There were not even a sign of life anywhere. Everywhere there were unconsciousness and  It were felt as if whole universe were enwrapped into sleep. Manu Smriti. 1/7.

True Religion Basics.

Humanity and our society didn't grew up in a day, month or year. It's a very long process. How did the universe got created? How did it evolved to today? It's a very long history.
However we can get some of the facts about the creation and evolution of the universe and humanity through The Vedas, The Puranas and later literature. It were planning of the creator to create deities, handover their own duties of creating and sustaining this universe to them and then run this universe according to True Religion.
Ever since The Almighty Creator or The God remained invisible. However His deities came into visible form and performed their own duties to help in creating this universe. How should this beautiful world and universe be sustained? The mere answer being Truth, deities were truthful and promising. They used to keep their words unlike humans of today.
Deities had channels as well. Therefore it came into practice to obeying the commands from superior ones. Since only superior deity were supposed to know the rest. The same process adopted by humanity and societies as well. Today also we see that process of obedience, however somewhat modified or ruined if you say so.
Since The Almighty God and Creator were True hence there is a flow of Truth in ourselves or The True Religion. It can be considered as a bond of rare truth to mere truth. A bond of creatures to The Creator and likewise.
Religion also means duty in a way. It also means a way of life or art of living, a bond of humans and divine etc. However literally it comes out to mean reunion or yoga i.e. to reunite ourselves to the Almighty.
Therefore True Religion has similar meanings but stress being on the Truth. Thus True Religion comes out to mean "True way of living" or True Reunion to The Almighty.
