Dev Sanskriti -III; Pujya Gurudev


Significance of Dev Sanskriti 
=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya
The second aspect is that we leave external aspects as they are but basically change our own nature and attitude towards life, become independent of external factors and discover the source of true happiness and bliss within- in soul-spirit, our true identity. Man has experimented on all possibilities. Pessimists have not tried to understand life and therefore lost its meaning and importance. People who tried to change external aspects succeeded in accumulating facilities and gaining power but due to lack of self-introspection their success proved to be the cause of their downfall. People who chose the last option i.e. changing ones sense of self-identity as immortal soul-spirit and not the body made the truly right and correct choice. 
This is the aim and purpose of Dev Sanskriti  to bring about a basic spiritual transformation in our attitude towards the purpose of life- and to life in its light. Saints and seers who made who searched and discovered the inner layers of their souls declared that human life can be blissful only if spiritual sadhana is given preference over material pursuits. Sadhana is the spiritual practice that improves the quality of life through self-control, self-discipline and self-discovery. To make life blissful, man needs to change his attitude and nature. Based on this change, a revolutionary outlook on life emerges through which all external situations can be handled, moulded and faced with equanimity and confidence. History is full of the life-stories of people who moulded themselves and lived in accordance with the principles of Dev Sanskriti. 
They became living legends and gods in human form. Through spiritual wisdom knowledge they immensely augmented their inner powers. They also made miraculous discoveries in material sciences. As a result, several streams of spiritual and scientific knowledge came into existence. Sages and seers, the exponents of Dev Sanskriti established through scientific exploration, that fundamental ground of existence is sat (existence), cit (consciousness) and ananda(bliss). The Truth and the Principles of Divine Culture have been uninterruptedly flowing in India. The speed of the flow has certainly altered with time. Innumerable saints and seers born in India (e.g. Mahatma Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda, Guru Govind Singh, etc.) have demonstrated in their lives the truth inherent in the Divine Culture. 
They have confidently declared that if divinity can descend in the lives of a few people, it can certainly descend in the lives of all. It is sure to happen by refining, uplifting and transforming human nature through practice of principles of Divine Culture. Whenever and whoever has adopted this path has attained eternal bliss. Divine Culture is the contribution of divine beings who incarnated in India through the ages. The land of India is suffused with the spiritual energy and divine light of such beings. Since the Vedic ages, every era has had a distinctive group of divine souls who expressed the truth of Divine Culture in their own specific ways in tune with the needs of the times. 
Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
