Revelation of Reality

by Dinesh Bhargava

Overview

About the Book

The idea to write this book came to mind from the Australian World War II press correspondent, Howard Murphet’s travels in India in quest of God, trying to “discover in ashram, jungle hermitage or Himalayan cave, a great yogi of super normal powers who knew the secret of life and death.”

What and Where is God? He finally discovered just such a Holy Man. While describing the present crisis of strife and discord in the world, the Holy One said, “Intellectual conceit has grown so wild that men have become foolish enough to ask, ‘What and where is God?’

This book attempts to precisely answer this question and seeks to bring out the underlying relationship between physical reality and the Ultimate Reality.
Era of Godlessness We cannot expect God to reveal Himself if modern society rejects or suppresses God in our daily life. The twentieth century witnessed the steady decline of the age-old beliefs of man in God, religion and morality. Instead, it saw the unprecedented rise in materialism. Science was in, God was out.
Billy Graham's daughter, Anne was interviewed on TV and asked ‘How could God let something like Hurricane Katrina happen?' She replied, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out.'

‘Funny, how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.’
How the Ultimate Reality reveals Itself Revelation is the process by which the Ultimate Reality reveals to the world of human beings knowledge of Itself. The book describes how It does so:

• through ancient Seers who have passed down through the ages what they had seen and heard in a subtler
dimension while engaged in their austere spiritual practices;
• through the wonders of Creation to those who have a mind to go beyond mere appreciation of nature’s beauty; it's
not what you look at that matters, it's what you see;
• through a succession of Saints and Divine Messengers, whose clear demonstration of Divine qualities reveals a
higher Reality,
• through modern science’s discovery of a new physical reality that points to the existence of an Ultimate Realty. It
endorses the ancient Vedic teaching of maya or illusion that Truth or Reality does not lie in the Seen, but in the
Unseen, as described in this book. Science is changing western thinking to converge with the revelations of the
ancient Seers.
Ironically, the same science that once killed the notion of God in man is now strengthening mankind's belief in a
'Supreme Power.'
• through the role of Consciousness in creating physical reality. Man is realizing that Consciousness is the
unchanging basis of this ever changing Universe. Consciousness is therefore no longer associated with the
human mind but with Divinity.

From here on, Nature, Man and God all seem to converge

About the Author

D.C. Bhargava had his first contact with Sri Sathya Sai Baba when he saw vibhuti (sacred ash) formed on His photo in a devotee’s home in Calcutta, in 1972. Thereafter, he has had several personal experiences of Sai Baba in his life. In 1980, he translated a letter in Spanish from a devotee in Lima, Peru to a devotee in New Delhi, communicating Sai Baba’s desire to spread His Message and Teachings in Latin America. The result is for all to see. The spirit of Sai has swept Latin America like wild fire although the people there speak Spanish, are almost entirely Catholic and with hardly any Indian population. As a 5-year old child, the author was sent by his parents to a British-American Seventh-Day Adventist boarding school in the Himalayan foothills and, subsequently, to an American Jesuit School. He grew up in the forest-clad hills amidst beautiful and serene natural surroundings, which developed in him a lifelong love for Nature. The school was unique in that it had no auxiliary staff. To teach students the dignity of labor, both boys and girls had to do an hour of manual work each day; the boys cleaned the buildings, worked in the bakery and chopped wood for the boilers, while the girls prepared food and washed dishes under the supervision of a Matron. In those far off days, all teachers and almost all students were from foreign lands, yet only vegetarian food was served; all lived together like one family, which helped to lay the foundation for building up character and imbibing the basic human values of Truth, Right Living, Love, Peace and Non-violence to which this book makes frequent reference. Hence, in view of the Author’s education and upbringing, his approach to the book and his choice of narratives should appeal to both Western and Indian readers. The author has translated several books from French, Spanish and Italian languages into English. He is a retired senior Company Executive and ex-Company Director. He lives in New Delhi.
