God’ kingdom- a Paradise of Virtues

God is actually a socialist in his thoughts. Therefore he gives all resources as a common pool. He gives equal opportunities to everybody. That is why every person has been vested with free will.

He has no bias or favouritism. In his kingdom there is no caste or creed difference; or riches based favours. He loves only devotion, just devotion, not your riches. He will be in fact happy if you spend the money for the benefit of other beings. That is what Vedas are insisting on.

If you see he loves to be only in good hearted beings and things – As he says in Bhagavad Gita – he is the spring in seasons; he is the painting in arts; he is the mrigashero in months; he is the jasmine in flowers; he is the dove in birds; he is the lullaby in songs; he is the mango in fruits; he is the breeze among the winds;... we can keep on listing. But we can notice that he is the pleasantest among the pleasant things.

Therefore he would be only pleased to have his subjects also to be pleasant and good hearted like that.

He does not like nepotism; therefore you don’t have to pray to please him. If you pray, you are praying for strengthening you and for that you are using him. God is like the pole vault – the pole is not looking for you and in no way it has any interest other than feeling happy that you are using it. So you use the pole for you and not for the pole. Prayers are similar to this.

He is also a democrat in his approach. He does not dictate anything to anybody. He takes care to guide by laying rules but it is up to us to follow or not follow. If don’t follow, the reprisal process starts, which also he has made transparent. He gives you the freedom to do things as you like with a caveat that you are accountable for your actions.

Also he allows you to enjoy full freedom , including to reject him and disbelieve in him

He is an equitable minded person. At the root of all his scheme of things he is the personification of compassion and hence he can’t bear any one being denied of his share. He will strive to reach to everybody all his necessities unless that person is his own enemy. And if anyone is obstructing the share of someone else he does not tolerate that either.

He is renderer of genuine justice. In his court there in only justice and there are no lawyers. It is only the petitioner, the accused and the witnesses. The petitioner is the Lord of Dharma, the accused is the

sinner and the witnesses are the actual facts. No Lawyer can through his extra ordinary arguing skills can get the justice miscarried. The facts will speak for themselves. Even the petitioner can’t speak more than presenting the facts and therefore there is no prosecutor also. He is more than willing to pardon if he is convinced that there is genuine effort for atonement. He is all for reformation.

He does not vest all resources with just one man because he knows that will be an unequal race and will only lead to unfairness at all levels. But he does not prevent any one acquiring anything by efforts and meritorious deeds.

He is more than willing to bless anyone with opportunity, talent and rewards for his actions. He will have no reservation to, or, fight shy of, bestowing all these things to him.

After acquiring all the blessings it is again the choice of the person to use them for further advancement and be in constant bliss or fritter away in sensual pleasures and develop megalomania. In the latter case he is causing his own fall and he can’t escape the God’s law of justice.

In his kingdom the citizen ID is his ‘conscience’; the highest qualification is ‘love’ and the highest reward is ‘bliss’. The worst sin is ‘polluted mind’; the worst punishment is ‘rendered bliss less’.

The currency is ‘thoughts’; positive balance is ‘good thoughts’ and negative balance is ‘bad thoughts’- the bank is ‘karmic bank’.His bank is universal banking and so the balance is encashable anywhere , anytime, even births later

His constitutional laws are many but the logic of all laws are simple – ‘ just be good and just do your duty’.

His kingdom is full of all conceivable pleasures . But every pleasure has an entry ticket ‘legitimate entitlement ’. If you trespass, the fees and the fine is deducted from your bank account – the karmic banking account.

Anybody can meet the king in his kingdom, any time, all the time – his doors are always open.

In fact you don’t have to even take the pain of going to him – he will come to you because he is at your call

Whatever you need you will get – you need to just ask for it- the language he will understand is ‘blessings of the other beings on you’. He never says no to any prayer supported by this.

He always looks at the positive side of the beings; he is not worried on the negative views of yours on him. But he does not permit your negative actions on the fellow beings. If necessary he himself comes in person to set things right. In his kingdom bliss flows all around and it is up to you to enjoy that as much as you can – your ability is determined by your absorption and carrying capacity which in turn is decided by your bank balance – the karmic bank

In his kingdom there is no war because there is none to challenge him- because he is the emperor.

In his kingdom no one needs any fear because he is willing to protect anybody and everybody. Nobody need to be afraid of him either as he is a personification of bliss and bliss only. The only thing we need to fear is our low or negative bank balance- the karmic bank

In fact he is afraid of you because he does not want to miss your call and displease you.

In his kingdom the governing structure is simply lean; it is one to one with the king himself- there is no need for any intermediary-the layers are minimal – in fact close to zero. His kingdom is an administration of self governance where very little is imposed on you.

In his kingdom he gives a special place for the weak and downtrodden to emancipate them

In his kingdom everyone is dependent on everyone else as a close knit family and he loves those who realize this responsibility and discharge it without fail

His kingdom despite all the freedom is absolutely orderly and every piece of his organization functions as per the rhythm – the rta-the cosmic rules he has set. From ‘anu to akasha’ is in sync with this order. So no instability at any level- it is eternal in order. All the parts of his kingdom work only for the common good; for a cohesive community and social justice and social harmony

All these things are possible in his kingdom because he is absolutely benevolent, all knowing, all powerful and immortal. Ultimately his kingdom is a paradise because it is made of bliss, made for bliss and made from bliss
