HIV / AIDS Can Not Be Cured by Medical Science but by Sat-Bhakti
Scientists are working to find a cure for HIV / AIDS. But, as of now, there is no scientific cure for the disease. However there is a spiritual way to cure it forever. Man’s journey of life begins at birth. Destiny is determined in advance. The Enlightened Sant Rampal Ji’s sacred book “Way of Living” gives a detailed description of man’s journey through life. The goal of humans (male / female) is to gain salvation. There are holes and thorns for sins and good deeds in the way of man. A person can achieve salvation by doing worship based on the scriptures.
After taking the initiation (Naam Diksha) from SatGuru Rampal Ji, the Supreme God removes all the problems as the soul is united with the Supreme God. If the devotee remains devoted to the Supreme God faithfully then the Almighty sweeps all obstacles, the thorns of sinful deeds, from his way of life. The devotee easily gets to his destination. What did God do for that soul? Sant Garibdas ji described it in the knowledge obtained from the Supreme God Kabir ji: –
Garib, Pativrata zameen par, Jyon-jyon dhar hai paavae |
Samrath jhaadu det hai, Na kaanta lag jaavae ||
The sins that hinder the way of the bhakti are destroyed by doing Sat-Bhakti.
Kabir, Jab hi Satyanaam hridya dharo, Bhayo paap ko naash |
Jaise chingaari agni ki, Padae puraane ghaas ||
Therefore, after taking Initiation from a Complete Guru, everyone should follow Sat-bhakti and instructions. The Supreme Father God Kabir Saheb can change our future and can destroy our Karma.
