Ring in the New age September 18, 2007

A lot has been written about the so-called new age. Some thinkers and scholars have even predicted dates when the new age would set in. It is believed that things on earth shall undergo a major upheaval for the better in the new age and peace and harmony shall reign supreme in this era.
These announcements could be based on astrological calculations or intuitive insights from higher souls or planes. But most of them are consistent in their predictions regarding the change that would take place. Life shall be happier. Man shall become loving and tolerant. All will work for the betterment of the entire mankind rather than for individual goals. There shall be no wars. There shall be cure for all ailments. Worries and tension shall disappear. And the list is endless.
To many it sounds like utopia. Something that is virtually impossible. But if we value the words of our prophets, then we realise that there is mention of such a new age in the holy scriptures too. Any way it does sound quite good that so many nice changes shall occur. But the important question is how shall this happen? Will it happen on its own or shall we have to make a conscious effort for it?
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says that whenever there is loss of righteousness in the world the Supreme Lord appears to set things right. In the present age God has descended in the form of the Supreme Truth. Now what is this Supreme Truth?
The Supreme Truth is said to be God and it is said that by accepting it and realising it a being becomes one with God. And when this happens, demoniac traits like greed, jealousy, hatred, selfishness, untruth, violence start to disappear and the Godly virtues like love, compassion, selflessness start to spring forth. And quite obviously when this happens the end result is an age of true and lasting peace and happiness on the earth.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna has revealed a secret supreme path by following which the Supreme Truth can be known and realised very easily in the same life time. All the humans have to do is take to this path and see how quickly the predictions of the new age come true. This very path has been explained for the common man by Shashi Verma in his book You Are God.
