Everything in creation is either moving up or down. It is never stationary. When the laws of creation are adhered to, the movement is upwards; there is growth and evolution. When they are defied, the movement is downwards; there is destruction, chaos and suffering. Souls today are taking a downward spiral. They are working against the laws of creation. Every religion says that it is in giving that you receive, yet no one is prepared to do it. If you trace the lives of leaders of any religion in the world, you will find they never collected anything for themselves, but constantly worked for betterment of creation at large. In present times, people have no faith in the religion they follow, and are just existing and heading towards hells.
Every religion talks about hell or jehannum or nark, which is for those who just live for just themselves; those who turn their face away from crimes are criminals. Whenever you turn your face away on seeing anyone in distress, you have committed a crime, which is even more severe than the actual crime because you had the power to stop the pain, yet you choose to look the other way. Congratulations, you have just got bonus points for entry into hell! The description of hell too is similar in on all religions, and corroborates with the visions of hell that have been experienced in dhyan by sadhaks at the Dhyan Ashram: being suspended in boiling oil, being dropped into the pits of the ocean with weights tied to oneself, nails being hammered to one’s body, and more.
These are not bookish accounts, but a reality. Even modern science agrees that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. You reap what you sow. Yet the "faithfuls" turn a blind eye to the atrocities being committed on fellow humans, animals and the environment ignore the warnings of their gurus and religious teachings and get caught in a downward spiral. Shivratri mantras can uplift a soul from depths of hell, and guide it to the right path. All saints across all religions have borne pain and never inflicted it, hence in states of dhyan you see them as luminous figures. At times in dhyan, you might meet a dear departed soul, he would either look luminous or hideous or just as they were. These three states indicate their present level of existence and dimension. Shivratri mantra is ideal for these kinds of sadhnas. But, of course, the mantra has to be given by a living guru who himself/herself is a siddha and is not wasting your time.
