There are three difficult tasks in the World. Excpet these three, all the tasks can be achieved through hard work. The grace of God Almighty is also necessary for achieving the said three difficult tasks apart from Hard work and pursuation. They are:
1.Getting birth as human being.
2.Inculcation towards (liberation) BLISS; and
3.Company of noble & pious people.
It should be fortunate enough to take birth as human being. Human being is the best and the only birth that helps a soul to reach the Unity of God Almighty.
God is the father/Creator of Creation. All the creatures He created are not bothered of His Creation and are not praising the God about His Mighty Creation. Simply they are enjoying its life with the Nature/minerals etc., provided by the God and are unable to understand the Creation and its value. This was the point of dis-satisfaction about His creation.
Hence the Creator (God) sharpened his Mind and after a deep thinking He created the Human Being with the sense organ of Mind and power of thinking. With this thinking element Man started viewing the Creation with his Mind also apart from his eyes and felt very happy with the amenities provided by the God for the well being of mankind and started appreciating the God about the creation He created.
Then God Almighty satisfied Himself and manifested in several forms for the benefit of mankind. One of such form is the 'Holy scriptures'. The Sage Veda Vyasa who is no other than the incarnation of Lord Vishnu gave innumerable holy scriptures to the Mankind. These scriptures are also no other than the (Vedas) Epics but in the form of interesting stories and incidents/history of our ancestors which depicted the entire spirit and fruits of All Epics. These scriptures enlighten the things which ought to do and which ought not. The man who was given with the power of thinking is only the creature on entire earth and universe who can go through these Holy Scriptures and can get benefits out of this. Hence getting birth as human being is the first and foremost boon to the mankind. We can not get this by any amount of struggle or penance unless there is God's Grace.
After taking birth as human being parents will look after the child and struggle for upkeeping him in all respects. The boy grew up according to ages. Childhood, adolescence, young, and then will become old. Tutored well and educated with the things that are necessary to lead a decent life in the world. Education, job, family, and again begotting children, and struggle for developing them, looking after the aged parents etc., By swimming in the lake of life right from the childhood he will strain much both bodily and mentally. When once turned back and recollect the happenings of his life at old age or at a belated stage, he is left with the deteriorated body and mind which will not be useful further. Necessarily the soul will leave the body alike a change of worn cloth. Nothing remains except some unmindful experiences. These unmindful experiences also vanish when soul leaves the body. This is not the meaning of life and there is something more than this.
Why this soul has taken birth? What for? What is the aim of life? How to live? What is the benefit of life? . What is the meaning of life? Why do we live? Who am I ?. When I came to existence? How long I will remain? Whether I existed earlier? If so in what form? Whether I differ from others? Whether there will be another birth for myself? Who is this me , self and myself ? What was the earlier experience? Why I cannot remember earlier births? After death where is the soul? Why it can'nt be seen? Whether I am happy? What is happyness? What is Universe? What is Galaxy? Who is the basis for all these? What is happenning? Who is doing? What is the achievement? Who is the Creator? Who is the Protector? Who is the destroyer? Why this Creation, Protection and Destruction? What is peace of mind? Why all this struggle? Where is the satutation? Etc...........and so on...??????????????? If anybody's mind prompt these questions certainly he has the qualities of item No.2 above and these will be answered when he will be getting item No.3. We cannot get this by any amount of struggle or penance unless there is God's Grace. Hence, everybody should strive hard to get the God's Grace.This can be achieved only through complete surrender to God and by praising Dear God uninterruptedly.
Trust God.
Everything is God's Gift. There is nothing except God.
Experience God in everything and nothing.
