thanks for the explanation

@Jnana Ajnana Vidya Avidya, your explanation and the symbolism behind Ganesha is astounding. Is it a result of a direct realization or supported by any scriptures? The ‘ancients’ or ‘Rishis’ who were in fact far more intellectually capable than we are by virtue of being in a more advanced yuga (Satya/Treta/Dwapara) were able to realize several truths but being aware of the decline of the human brain in the kali yuga left the knowledge hidden under symbols and visualizations. They may have also embedded these visualizations (read Deities) with the power to unlock the openings connecting the jeev-atma to the paramatma. Once in a while they may re-appear to explain the mysteries to some who are ready to receive but to the larger populace the likes of Ganesha and Hanuman are just another deity with an elephant head or a monkey face.

My sentiments too!

Quran was revealed by an angel. Prophet Muhammad was so frightened by the sight of this angel that he was in bed with fever. Only after the encouragement from his wife who said that he would be a prophet, Muhammad could face the angel. So do you accept the revelations of an angel as the word of God? In the old testament it is said that the angels corrupted men and misguided them. In the Bible and Quran too there is the story how an angel became Satan. Only the revelations from the Supreme Light should be accepted as the word of God. Such revelations are received by great sages who have transcended heaven, the abode of angels. Heaven is not the final destination of man. It is a field of pleasure controlled by the spiritual overlords in heaven. Quran and Bible talk about heaven where God will deliver the final judgement. So the god of Quran and Bible could be an angel sitting in heaven.

You have so beautifully explained the concept of Self/Brahman, personal God, deities, etc. If you are still a seeker, please try below meditation technique:

Technique to feel peace and joy all the time in life: “Praise and Watch (PW)” technique (developed on 21st April 2022 by Gopal Krishna, an IIT Kanpur alumnus, after 24 years of research and experimentation with all kinds of existing and self-developed meditation techniques from 1998 onward) is completely soothing and effective in calming any thought as compared to other meditation techniques and can be done anytime in lying, sitting, standing, walking, running, etc. positions with even open eyes.

In Praise and Watch (PW) technique, whenever any unwanted thought comes in the mind, just praise the unwanted thought by saying once, twice or thrice (twice or thrice needed when the same unwanted thought keeps coming again and again to the mind) “very good thought”/”awesome thought”/”excellent thought”/”great thought”/etc. and then watch it as if you are watching a video or an object. The unwanted thought then gets removed from the mind after doing so and one experiences the peace of silence/thoughtless awareness thereupon one can continue being in this state of silence/thoughtless awareness as long as it remains (in case one is doing it as thoughtless awareness meditation or wants to just relax) or focus on doing the work one is doing. To keep it interesting, one should use different one out of 2-3 praise phrases like “very good thought”/”awesome thought”/”excellent thought”/”great thought”/etc. at different times rather than using the same praise phrase all the time.

Praise and Watch (PW) technique uses fundamental psychological insight that praising any unwanted thought (ultimate positivity towards it) makes it lose its power over our mind while condemning any unwanted thought (negativity towards it) makes it even more powerful or trying to be neutral/non-judgmental towards it (as taught in Vipassana or Witnessing technique) does not work either in stressful situations (when unfortunately the technique is the most needed) for most people because human mind is extremely habituated by birth to feel positive or negative rather than neutral/non-judgmental towards thoughts and experiences represented by them.

Do Praise and Watch (PW) technique whenever you need to remove any unwanted thought from the mind whether you are lying, sitting, standing, walking, running, etc. with even open eyes. Also do it for 15+ min daily (more like 30 min or 1-2 hours daily if you are stressed or just enjoy it as thoughtless awareness meditation or are pursuing spiritual enlightenment) in sitting position with closed eyes as thoughtless awareness meditation and while lying on the bed for sleep to get sound sleep. One should do Praise and Watch (PW) technique as a sitting meditation on a chair or in sitting posture with spine erect and vertical and eyes closed to have maximum benefits – the spine should be erect and vertical so that spiritual energy (Kundalini) rises up the spine towards brain and other higher centres in the spine without any obstruction.

Please share Praise and Watch (PW) technique with at least 10 people personally and on all your social media profiles, pages and groups so that together we completely eliminate all negativities like murder, rape, bullying, suicide, stress, etc. from the world at the earliest.

You need to learn more about how Quran was complied at the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW and later in the eras of Caliphs. You seems ignorant about this thatswhy I left it to you to go and read that first coz if you dont know that then you have no right to raise a question over it.
2nd thing is, it’s the choice of Allah-The creator, to whom and why He revealed his message. Allah says in the Quran, Had he revealed his message to a literate Muhammad SAW, they(non believers) would have call it Muhammad’s own fabrication and not word from The Almighty. Nobody at that time raise question over Prophet Muhammad in this regard because Prophet Muhammad SAW was known to every body around that he couldn’t read or write. Also he was famous among his people for his honesty, trustworthiness and truthfulness(صادق آمین)
