Fear never leads one to the path of love. It only leads to hatred. One should be afraid of sin and its consequences. When man recognizes only the work of God, he feels surprised and is afraid of the supreme power. But when man begins to understand and experience the personality and kindness of the God, he realizes His love.
Jesus says: “A dutiful and affectionate son does not fear and dread even a mighty and Nobel father. I have come into the world to put love in place of fear, joy in place of sorrow, confidence in the place of dread, loving service and appreciative worship in the place of slavish bondage and meaningless ceremonies. But it is still true about those who sit in darkness and believe that the fear of Lord is the beginning of wisdom. And when the light has fully dawned, the sons of God are led to praise the infinite for what he is rather than to fear him for what he does”.
“When children are young and unthinking they must necessarily be admonished to honor their parents; but when they grow older and become somewhat more appreciative of the benefits of the parental ministry and perfection they are led up, thorough understanding respect and increasing affection, to that level of experience where they actually love their parents for what they are more than for what they have done”
“You have been taught that you should fear God and keep His commandments, for that is the whole duty of man. But I have come to give you a new and higher commandment. I would teach you to love God and learn to do his will. For that is the highest privilege of the liberated sons of God. Your father taught you to fear God—the Almighty King. I teach you, love, God – the merciful father”.
“I am His son, and you are also His sons. Therefore it is eternally true that you and I have become brethren in the flesh of the earthly life.
Cease, then to fear God as a king or serve Him as a creator, honor him as the Father of your spirit youth; love him as merciful defender; and ultimately worship Him as the loving and all-wise father of your more mature spiritual realization and appreciation. You do well to be meek before God and self-controlled before men, but let your meekness be of spiritual origin and not the self-deceptive display of a self-conscious sense of self-righteous superiority.”
In all you learn, you should be humble in life. You should love all the creatures as all are brethren and God loves all. He is infinite and eternal.
At present a lot of discussion is going on about the growing relationship between USA and India.
Many persons in India are opposing this on the background that
1) USA has always supported our born enemy Pakistan.
2) USA is an extreme selfish country which does friendship for its own sake and later destroys its friends whenever it is required (e.g. Saddam, Taliban, and Laden).
3) It has always worked for weakening India.
4) American people do not respect Indians.
5) It tries to become global Godfather and has mighty military bases all over the world which it uses to influence the internal and external policies of all the countries.
6) It tries to exploit all the countries.
7) It even destroys any country on the basis of any fake reason only to get hold on the natural resources of that country.
8) It has a history of murdering a large proportion of population of many countries in the name of ideology (wiped out 1/3rd population of Vietnam).
9) Use every decisive technique to attend its goals.
But to understand why USA did the most of such things and to estimate its true nature or scopes of friendship of our country with USA we have to consider some points.
There are some basic attributes about USA which can’t change and they are-
1) It always does those things which are necessary for its own benefit. It makes relation with only those countries which can provide it some benefit.
2) It is a country which has deep roots of democracy.
3) It always thinks that if people are not on the side of USA they are with the enemies of USA.
1. Does India have the potential to change the regional or global patterns of power politics?
Yes definitely it does. As a big market and economic powerhouse. It’s a lucrative spot for investors. And power politics is more about economy and India fits quiet well in the global jigsaw puzzle.
2. Can China hope to tackle the U.S. attempt to contain or encircle China by fostering her relations with Pakistan?
Already china-Pakistan relation is pretty good. But that did not stop USA to reach Afghanistan. Only hope for china to tackle US presence in its neighborhood is by having good relations with India too and also with Russia/Taiwan. Hopefully not at the expense of Pakistan.
.
3. What are and would be the implications of Indo-U.S. strategic and nuclear cooperation for peace in South Asian region?
well. Nothing much. As both India and US have their own interest. As India will also not allow US military presence in the south Asian region. As India influence this region heavily. But seeing growing china-pak nexus. It would be good for India to closely coordinate to tackle this situation
.
4. What are the reasons for India-U.S economic ties and its implications particularly on Pakistan?
Reasons for this tie are certainly not Pakistan specific. US too require Indian cooperation to expand its economy. As today they have realized the potential India has for the future.Afterall, who want to lose cheap labor and large market. I think Pakistan need not worry as this tie is forged seeing the world scenario.
.
5. What Indian ambitions are and what would like to be- a competitor, a partner or both?
Well both. It’s all too practical. Ambition of India is far global rather than only regional. And we have managed to go half way through. all we need is some more thrust and clear out certain impending issues.
6. What would and could be the role of America in resolving Kashmir issue?
Nothing. As India will never allow any 3rd party mediation. Whole India share the same feeling.
Only way of solving this issue would be converting LOC into permanent border. Else this issue will continue to remain status-quo. As no land can be transferred to any foreign element. I think Pakistan need to slowly accept this reality. I think its practice.
7. What would be the future of India-U.S relations?
Hope to be good. But we don't trust USA either. We have seen the PAK-USA romance in the past and the way it dumped pak. USA is a strong ally to those who r strong. only common ground we have is that we are DEMOCRACY.
.
8. Will India also emerge as a potential regional power along or without other south Asian sates?
it is indeed a regional power (hard to accept for some) with china. INDIA/CHINA are regional powerhouse. I would be happy if SAARC becomes powerful and so the future of South Asia. Now our target is to become superpower. We expect a multi polar world. And this can be done economically, militarily as well as other spheres of interest. we r moving ahead..i see a bright future for us.
the security impact is of increased or decreased Indian presence in south Asia and how it will influence south Asia’s interests in the region?
In 1917 Russian czar fell and Russia came in the hands of communists. All developed nations (including all imperial nations like USA, France, and Denmark etc) became fearful of communism expansion. There was a strong possibility that democracy could end in these developed countries too and communist regime will take over the country. Although Capitalism (against which the communism claims to fight) is bad but communism was worse. Its true nature was ruthless dictatorship, as the world observed in later years. And when world-war-2 was over the intention of Russia (and other communist countries) to expand communism in all parts of world was very clear.
So USA decided to stop the expansion of communism and to try to eliminate it from those parts in which it was already established. It was due to this ideology of USA that it fought many wars during Cold-War Era. (1945 to 1991).
INDIAN ALIGNMENT TOWARDS COMMUNISM-
After India got independence, USA tried to include it in its war against communism but at that time our eternal friend Russia was a communist country. And it is a fact that whatever type of system remains in Russia (Czar ship, Communism or democracy), it always remain best and helping friend of India. So at that time it was just impossible for India to be with USA. Though India officially adopted Non-Alignment policy, its close relations with communist Russia were clearly visible and whatever USA did against India at that time was due to the alignment of India towards communism.
PRESENT CONDITION-
1) Communism ended from Russia in 1991 and now Russia also has partnership with USA in many fields. And when enemity of USA against Russia has ended (after 1991), automatically India is no longer an enemy
2) China presents a threat before the USA due to its (Chinese) intention of becoming a global “leader” (that is not a problem for India).
3) And we should not forget that despite opening up of its economy, china is still a communist country.
4) Many specialists in world are suspicious that China has an imperial mentality and it want to include whole Asia in its territory.
5) China possesses many inter-continental missiles which are able to destroy most of the cities of USA.
6) Rising Muslim jihad is now a global problem. India was facing it from a long time and now USA is also shivering due to it.
7) Though Pakistan was partner of USA during cold-war era but it is now becoming a global office of Muslim-Jihad(so called ) and now it is a problem not only for India but also for USA.
8) India was always an answer to Pakistan and China.
9) And when India is not an enemy, when it has the same democratic and human values, when it can help USA in its new problems why not USA will want partnership with India.
10) And if USA will be a strategic partner of India, definitely USA will wish that India should remain strong and in that condition all the advanced weapons of USA will remain available for India (obviously on a price).
11) This would ultimately help both India and USA. We should not forget that how a tiny country like Israel is continuously defeating all the neighboring giant Arabic countries only due to military aid provided by USA.
12) And certainly Indian deep rooted human values can show a way to USA and we can stop USA from inhuman, unjustified wars in the future (like that in Vietnam and Iraq), only after helping USA in justified wars (against Chinese expansion policy and Jihad and Pakistan).
And only as a friend we can stop USA from becoming an imperial country.We only can teach it that “Two or more powerful countries can survive at a time in this world (with full co-operation and prosperity) if their geographical boundaries do not touch each other (Chanakya)”. Time is demanding for the strategic partnership of USA and India and they both can become true friends as Russia and India ARE at present.

INSTANT KARMA
KARMA is a Sanskrit word; which can be termed as “Act” in English. In this context, Karma is the act of all our deeds. In specific, Karma can be defined as the count of all our deeds on this earth; might be good or bad.
Here is a very famous and easy to understand proverb which is very opt for this situation to explain:
DO GOOD
BE GOOD
SEE GOOD
This is the way to reach GOD.
Explanation: Reaching GOD can be called as not having re-birth. The only way to reach GOD is by following the three GOOD steps, which are stated above.
On seeing the above statement, we get an idea of what Karma is. The good deeds are being done to avoid re-birth? This explains that Karma plays a very vital role in deciding the re-birth. If we do bad deeds, this means that we are not eligible to reach GOD. Indirectly, it means that we would be again sent back to earth for re-birth.This has been very clearly explained in Bhagavadgeetha, by Lord Krishna to Arjuna. The holy epic of bhagavadgeetha totally deals with Karma, and re-birth.
WHEN DOES RE-BIRTH OCCUR?
According to philosophy, it is stated that re-birth occurs depending on the Karma. Here are the factors that are stated to be the reason for the re-birth.
1. Bad deeds.
2. Having desires.
3. Not doing good deeds.
4. Having jealous towards others.
HOW RE-BIRTH OCCUR?
Re-birth always occurs depending on the Karma does. The birth place, the surroundings, the financial status, the values of parents, physical health is the aspects that are decided in the re-birth. Here are some aspects that would be affected or can be cause for re-birth.
1. Financial status.
2. Surrounding physical status; as financial support, society around the person.
3. Mental status of the person; such as great will power, mentally retarded, perverted mind.
4. Having unsatisfied desires with persons or some unfulfilled tasks.
5. Physical aspects; as not having full healthy body, blind, handicapped.
EFFECT OF BAD KARMA
The effect of Bad Karma can be stated as the result of the bad deeds done by the particular person. It is always believed that this Bad Karma always results in the physical and mental torture for the person. This phenomenon can be very clearly explained by the famous theory “Newton’s Theory – III Law”
“For Every Action, There is an equal and opposite Reaction."
Similarly, for every bad deed done by the person on earth; would definitely have a re-birth to get back the result of his bad deed. Or else can be purified in the hell for the less bad deeds. This is what Karma philosophy tells.
But in the recent times, I have observed that KARMA is not a very long complicated process in this Kali-yuga. You get back the result of the Karma instantly in the present birth itself.
INSTANT KARMA
Karma of our bad deeds would be accumulated and would be compensated in the next birth. I think this would not make the person feel bad of his deeds or mistakes made. This compensation of the Karma in next birth does not help the person in purifying himself. Here comes the concept of INSTANT KARMA. Karma would always be getting back in the same birth according to “Instant Karma”. The effect of bad deeds would be compensated in this present birth itself. The bad deeds would be compensated with some problems that would make the person realize the mistakes he made in his present birth and would finally help the person to purify himself. This is the main intention behind the instant KARMA. Let me illustrate this with some live examples that I have faced in the recent times.
EXAMPLE : This is the incident happened to one of our family friends. There lived a family consisting of parents, with 3 daughters and one son. To be specific, the wife of that man is his second wife, wherein she bearded 3 daughters. The son belonged to his first wife. And she is his step-mother; he always faced problems, and was never with his mother. He studied in hostel and later got married. He did not have any financial support also from his parents. He managed to live his own life.
Time passed by. The lady had her mother alive. She was residing in her daughter’s house in her last days. At this time, one of her daughter; who had an affair, married without informing her parents. He was very well-off person having very good financial status in the society. So the parents accepted the marriage. As the parents accepted her husband, it ended happily.
At the time of welcoming their new son-in-law, felt that the old lady in the house does not look good. So they moved her into servant’s house. The old lady felt very bad and then she died only because of the fact that she was ill treated. But the family did not care about her.
After 10 years, their son-in-law died suddenly due to cardiac arrest. All the financial freedom left at once along with their son-in-law. Now they were left with no money. They were just having own house to reside in. Nothing more than that. As they had never showed a sign of love and concern on their son, they cannot go and stay with their own son. Cannot ask him for help too. They are just staying in the house, having food for some days only. See the condition of this family. How come they changed from the full financial stage to nothing!!!
- At one point of time, they thought that the old lady is not looking good at their house and were the cause of her death. Now, they are not having any help to be obtained.
- They had never showed concern on their son. Now, not able to ask him helps and was feeling bad about their deeds.
This is the effect of INSTANT KARMA. Hope I am totally clear on the facts that I want to explain. This is one angle of philosophy. This is just to state that human values are always to be respected.
Although religions like Islam and Christianity differ in ideals and principles, the concept of life-after-death and judgment day is common to all. Like belief in God, belief in the Hereafter remains unchanged in spite of the change in nationalities, languages and times.
So let me explain here what the concept of Islam about judgment day is.
Every thing in nature has its own inherent property. Just as the sun heats, water cool and poison kills, so man’s own actions produce certain results in him. The body carries signs of good food or undernourishment. Even so, man’s actions produce certain effects on his soul too, a few of which might be discerned in this world itself. But the effects make themselves perfectly clear and the soul is thus ‘rewarded’ in the Judgment day. The Quran pints out how man’s action reacts upon his soul.
“Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts” (83:14). That is the effect of a first offence. 18:37 says “We covered their hearts,” What have covered their hearts are the layers of sinfulness. And, “Allah sealed their hearts” (2:7)- a state that reveals the plight of the heart whose light is totally imprisoned within the dark dungeon of guilt and sin. Such a man now becomes virtually blind, having lost his soul’s vision; unable any more to discern truth, unable even to be shown the truth.
All these effects are felt already in this world. The ‘patient’ who has reached the third stage of sinfulness (this heart being sealed) is beyond redemption, and Allah reminds the Prophet to save his breath regarding the reformation of such people who will never be reformed. In 17:72 Allah warns man: “Who so is blind here will be blind in the Hereafter, and yet further from the road.” But he does not know it now-when he does know, in the Hereafter he will feel panic and ask of Allah: “My Lord! Why have you gathered me (here) blind, when I was wont to see? And Allah will say: So (it must be). Our revelations came to you but you did forget them. So you are forgotten this Day.” (20: 125-6)
In short, man will meet in the Hereafter the consequences of his life here. The punishment he gets in the judgment day will be the natural after-effects of his actions. “The guilty will be known by their marks”(55:41). Sinners, thus, will reveal themselves by their own actions here. “This Day We seal up mouths, and hands speak out and feet bear witness as to what they used to earn.” (36:64).Every movement of man here will then be revealed by his body and his soul in the Hereafter.
