Our future on planet Earth + 4 more

Baba
Our future on planet Earth

Namaskar,

Most every Ananda Margii is aware how Baba says that one day this Earth will become uninhabitable so humans will shift to other planets, and we will reside permanently somewhere else. Yet, when we look around, no other planet in our solar system is conducive for human life.


The Earth is still in its infancy

So there has to be a very practical and natural solution to the problem. First off, we must take into account that, according to Baba, this Earth is in its infancy. That means this Earth will be habitable for humans for a long, long time. And it also means that the sun’s death is not at all imminent. The sun will continue to provide warmth, light, and proper atmospheric conditions on planet Earth far into the future. Thus, for the foreseeable future, humans will be on Earth.

As the sun cools, humans will go


Yet, that still does not resolve the problem of where humans will go when the Earth becomes uninhabitable. Baba has given us the answer to this dilemma. Slowly, over time, the sun will naturally lose its strength. The Earth will be transformed gradually into barren land. Humans will no longer be able to survive here. But that also means that some planets will become more suitable for human life.

In due course, other planets will develop atmospheric and climatic conditions that will support human life. So that is the gateway to how, far into the future, humans will one day depart this Earth in an easy and practical way.

No fear about extinction


Ananda Marga philosophy says, "The earth came into existence [crores] of years ago. Though from the archaeological point of view it is still in its infancy, one day or another it is bound to meet its Waterloo. This will naturally mean the extinction of the human race. Is it so? The destruction of a particular planet or solar system does not mean the end of the human race. There are numerous other stars and planets in the universe. With further development of science and by the help of inter-planetary rocket systems, human beings will move to other planets. What is a dream today will become a reality tomorrow...In coming days, you will see such rockets which may enable human beings to travel to other planets. And, if one day, these planets and stars also perish, people will move to other planets...There is therefore, no cause to fear. The earth may one day become extinct but humanity can’t cease to exist. You can rest assured." (1)


Humans will one day move to other planets


Ananda Marga philosophy says, "On other planets also, there are creatures like human beings. Not only on other planets [of this solar system], but on other celestial bodies, there may be creatures like human beings, in some cases slightly more developed, in some cases slightly less developed...Humans will remain on this planet for a little while longer, and they will undergo further change. On other planets and stars as well, the bodies of human-like beings have evolved in accordance with the particular amounts and ratios of the five fundamental factors in those places...The extinction of human beings from this planet should by no means leave anyone frustrated. The victorious humans who came to this planet long ago will move to other planets, towards a greater glory, a greater victory, a far greater enlightenment." (2)


Humans will never become extinct


Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Human beings came onto this earth about a million years ago. In this universe, our earth is not only the only planet, nor is the sun the only star. There are numerous stars and luminous bodies and planets. Wherever there is a proper balance amongst the five fundamental factors, there life has evolved. Various species of animals have evolved on various planets, are living today, will remain for some time, and in the future will disappear. History shows that so many animals roamed this earth with great prowess, but their strength gradually waned and they have become totally extinct. One day human beings will also be extinct on this planet. But this does not mean that they will become extinct on all other planets also. Before this earth becomes unfit for human habitation or faces a complete thermal death, the developed human beings will travel to other planets. Thus they will never become completely extinct in this universe." (3)


Inhabit other planets


Ananda Marga philosophy guides us, "A certain planet may suffer thermal death, but certainly not the entire universe. Before thermal death occurs on a particular planet, human beings, having made great technological advances, will move to other planets by rocket. So there is no plausible reason for human beings to become frightened by the prospects of a thermal death." (4)

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "If the earth becomes depleted of resources, the people of the world will rush to other planets and satellites in search of new land.” (5)




Conclusion 

Baba has assured us that the future of humanity is secure. Humans will remain on this Earth for a long, long time, and when the conditions demand our departure from this planet, then humans will easily shift themselves to other inhabitable planets.

Who is Baba talking about

Kindly read the below quote from Baba's teachings. At the end of the quote a question has been posed. If your answer to the question is correct then it means you read Baba's books carefully; and, if your answer is wrong or you do not know the answer, then it signifies that you need to pay more attention when reading Guru's teachings. After all, if sadhakas are not diligent in studying Baba's books then who is going to read them - non-margiis?

Ananda Marga ideology states, “Those who profess a faith claiming to be the last word from the last prophet follow an incorrect line. Prout [Progressive Utilization Theory] philosophy is ahead of such philosophies and faiths. As is stated in its fifth principle, it is a philosophy which not only sets its goal as the ultimate subjectivity (Brahma, who is unchangeable and eternal), but also adopts the objective course of adjustment according to time, space and person.” (1)

Question: Who is Baba referring to in the yellow highlighted section?

Answer: In the above quiz, in the yellow highlighted section Sadguru Baba is talking about - the Semitic religions. They preach this type of dogma.

Have you seen people gossip during kiirtana

WT conduct rule says, "You will cultivate the practice of maonbrata (vow of silence) at least half an hour every day during working hours." (1)

Note: In the above conduct rule Baba is giving the solution of one common problem. Because many suffer from the mental disease of gossiping needlessly. It can happen to anyone but certain Wts are more indulged because they talk all day long. Even if a kiirtan program is going on then still they are sitting and talking non-stop. So this is the bad habit of some Wts.

To stop this Baba has given the aforementioned conduct rule. So if anyone is not following Baba's above guideline then they should be encouraged (or pressurized) to practice it. And by that way they will gain control over their negative habit of talking uselessly. Indeed by that way one can make the extroverted mind introverted.

*************************************************************
Is Radha A Female? No

“ Parama Puruśa is the only real entity, the only absolute entity. The further the jiivas move towards Parama Puruśa, the more elevated their minds become. When they reach a very subtle stage of elevation, their concentrated mind-stuff speeds towards Him with the one-pointedness of an arrow. Such a mentality is called Rádhá...What is Rádhá bháva? When devotees feel in their heart of hearts that their existence is meaningless without attaining the Lord, that they cannot survive a single moment without feeling His blissful presence, they have attained the stage called Rádhá. Such devotees know nothing other than árádhaná [total mental absorption.” (NKS, '97 Edn, p. 53-4)

Note: Some ignorant people think that Radha is a female of Vrindaban. But that is not true. 'A-grade' devotees are Radha, whether they be male or female.
