True meaning of the words of God

If there is one God, one creator/sustainer of the world, then that all the scriptures existing in the world carries the message of one God. If so, what is the harm in perceiving the true meaning of the words of God from any of these scriptures?
True meaning of the words of God
The Holy Bible gives various commandments of God which require every follower of God to attain goodness in life. Among these are loving all beings including one’s enemies, following the truth, forgiveness and forbearance.

These teachings have been disseminated among the mankind for centuries and yet we find man constantly becoming prey to the passions of anger, jealousy, pride, hatred, violence and lust. What has gone wrong? Why have the words of God failed to change us? Or is it that we have actually misunderstood the message given by the prophets?

If there is one God, one creator/sustainer of the world, then that all the scriptures existing in the world carries the message of one God. If so, what is the harm in perceiving the true meaning of the words of God from any of these scriptures?

In the Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna says that God has himself assumed the human form and in this form he has two kinds of natures – one higher and the other lower. The lower nature of being/God has ego due to which he fails to know that he is God. In the lower nature exist all passions of desire, anger, jealousy, etc. But in the higher nature dwell the great virtues like love, compassion, forgiveness, kindness etc. Lord Krishna says that man is living with the lower nature having ego and resultant passions but has no knowledge of the higher nature that is devoid of the ego and looks at all beings as forms of the same God. That is why he fails to imbibe the higher virtues by sermons and teachings. In absence of the self-knowledge all the teachings to inculcate the higher virtues in fact would fail and this is what we have been witnessing all around the world for ages. In spite of the fact that all religions preach universal brotherhood, man is ever stooping lower into the bottomless pit of passions.

What then is the way to imbibe the higher nature of God? Lord Krishna says that one does not have to acquire each virtue by practicing it. The moment a person acquires the higher nature of God these virtues automatically flower in him. When the soul is united to the wisdom of God then on its own these higher virtues of God come to the fore.

This clearly means that instead of trying to imbibe these virtues, we should aim at attaining the higher nature of God, devoid of the ego. And in order to enable the human beings to do so, Lord Krishna has suggested a very easy but unfailing practice in the Bhagavad Gita. Although this practice has existed in the Bhagavad Gita for centuries, no one has been able to get to its true essence. This secret practice has now been elucidated in a very clear manner in the book You Are God by its author Shashi Verma.
