Entering the Transcendental Realm

This material world is a place of constant uncertainty. We never know what is going to happen next. It could be fortune; it could be misfortune. Or it could be a mixture of both. If we try to base our happiness on our material situation, we are bound to be disappointed sooner or later. After all this material world, in the final analysis, is a place of misery culminating in old age, sickness, and death. So, if we want true lasting happiness, we have to look somewhere else to find. It simply does not exist here.

That realm of true happiness does in fact exist. It is situated on the spiritual platform on which one realizes that he is not his body, that he is instead a pure spirit-soul qualitatively one with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One can enter that sublime realm by adopting a life of devotion to that Supreme Lord. How to live in this way is learned from the Lord's devotees and the bona fide spiritual master.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: Koran Teaches that God Does Not Incarnate...

Thank you for your loving kindness and tender mercies.

The Koran teaches that God does not incarnate as man and in the 2nd Sura, it says "This scripture is infallible".

How do I reckon this to what you teach? The Koran teaches that it is idolatry to follow the teaching of worshipping the idea of God incarnate. If the Gita, New Testament and the Koran are all professing to be the truth, how can one judge for himself?

Answer: The Koran's Final Conclusion Is Its Most Powerful Conclusion...

The Koran certainly establishes impersonalism, i.e. that God cannot appear as a person with a form, but at the end it refutes that impersonalism and establishes the personal God.

The Koran accepts the fact that ultimately there is only one God. He is full of opulence, and His bodily complexion is blackish. According to the Koran, the Lord has a supreme, blissful, transcendental body. He is the Absolute Truth, the all-pervading, omniscient and eternal being. He is the origin of everything. Creation, maintenance and dissolution come from Him. He is the original shelter of all gross and subtle cosmic manifestations. The Lord is the Supreme Truth, worshipable by everyone. He is the cause of all causes. By engaging in His devotional service, the living entity is relieved from material existence. No conditioned soul can get out of material bondage without serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Love at His lotus feet is the ultimate goal of life. The happiness of liberation, whereby one merges into the Lord's existence, cannot even be compared to a fragment of the transcendental bliss obtained by service unto the Lord's lotus feet. In the Koran there are descriptions of fruitive activity, speculative knowledge, mystic power and union with the Supreme, but ultimately all this is refuted and the Lord's personal feature established, along with His devotional service.

The scholars of the Koran are not very advanced in knowledge. Although there are many methods prescribed, they do not know that the ultimate conclusion should be considered the most powerful.
