The Supreme Being - Bhullar, Birinder

. .

Résumé :
I began my quest for the Supreme Being over 2000 years ago. I was a famous conqueror in that life. I loved only one thing then: myself. Life gave me one success after another, and I thought I would conquer eternity. I was seen as the favored of the gods. In the end came the encounter with Truth. I was humbled by death. My eyes opened. I realized there is a Supreme Reality that no one can conquer. I surrendered to it. The quest for the true began in me. I lived many lives after that in this quest. I meditated in complete devotion, spent many hours in introspection, explored the mysteries of Creation, reasoned, surrendered to Great Masters and received guidance and blessings. Finally the Supreme Being revealed itself. I awakened to the Supreme Reality. I found the ultimate freedom and joy. This book was revealed during my experiences with the Supreme Being. The purpose of the book is to reveal about the Supreme Being and the Supreme Reality. It will remind the Self about its original quest. After reading it, no Self can be the same again -- no Self can avoid falling in love with the True Reality. It shares about the true relationship of the Self with the Supreme Being, as well as about the purpose of life, bondage of the mind, the path to experience the Supreme Being, and true living. Knowing the Ultimate has remained the innermost quest of every human being since the beginning: Mystics, Philosophers, Emperors, Kings, Conquerors, Scientists, Explorers and Discoverers all wanted to arrive there. The mind cannot come to rest without this knowledge. Deep within, we seek a heaven. We have imagined it with the ultimate in everything we want: beauty, power, security, knowing, peace, happiness, contentment. We seek to know about it and find a path going there. We wish to experience it while living. We love life. We never want it to end. So we have to live it for the reason we are here. To know it, we have to know The Truth. From a grain of sand, a blade of grass, a drop of water to many distant stars, we have come to know something about the world. We think we will arrive at an ultimate knowing by dividing and microscopically looking into things in the infinitely vast physical Universe. We ignore the fact that this visible Universe is itself an infinitesimal speck in the unknowable vastness beyond. We think we will analyze data, theorize, and understand The Whole, And once we have ultimate knowing we will have power over everything in Creation -- even life and death. But all we are doing is growing a very knowledgeable, confused, complicated, doubtful, disordered, unhappy, discontented, and restless mind. And its center we perceive as our I. Our present Self-identity is an illusion, and impermanent. Our experience is incomplete because it is relative, partial, and extremely limited. The new reveals itself every day but our Ultimate Truth remains elusive. Why? Because there is one domain we have never entered: the search for our source and our true I. It is in this realm we will experience what we are actually seeking: spontaneous knowing, uncaused happiness, everlasting identity, and infinite living!
