Desire - it's effect

...contd...

 

Never mind, with light heart I opened her gate only to see about 20-30 people seated around her! I felt cheated. Nonetheless, I washed my feet and silently went and sat in a corner.  They were in the middle of some question and answer session.  I just started listening as she smiled at me and continued “your problem is not your ‘sil’ who is abusing you/teasing you but you!  Did you give a thought on these lines? Close your eyes and ask few questions. 

• ·  what is actually troubling you? Your sister-in-law (sil) teasing you or everyone thinking she is good when you don’t think so
•    Is her good name cause of your pain? If yes, if her name is tainted, will it serve the purpose to you? How?
•   Why are you competing with her?
•   Agreed, she is not working much and you end up doing most of the chores and she ends up getting credit for it – yet where exactly is the problem?
• You are learning the work when she is losing ‘learning time and opportunity. Can’t you see that?
• Agreed it is a day-to-day affair, yet hatred enough to kill her? Do you really think this act is so gruesome to evoke such strong negative feelings in you?

No, my dear, you’ve developed negative feelings since long time and they found an excuse to express themselves because of her.  You are giving vent to your suppressed feelings because of her! If only you can see that!”

The Beginning.......

Me , My Guru

It had been raining since yesterday and I thought that would deter others from coming to meet Her.  I thought I would be able to monopolize her today! My long pending doubts can be cleared and that too exclusively! Oh, just that thought was enough to make me dizzy with happiness.  This was so strange a feeling! I didn’t like sharing her time with anyone though I liked the fact that she changed and touched lives of so many…yet….. I also felt elated that she was looked up to by so many out there.  Yet……….

Does every disciple feel equally possessive about his Guru? I wondered! Couple of others had shared this feeling with me couple of times though!  I read somewhere that Buddha’s students also clamored for his attention and everyone wanted to think that he/she was special to their Guru! Was this Universal? Did it effect her? Did she know this and did she feel great about this? I suppose this and such questions will remain unanswered ……..

2. second reason is for you to know that something like this exists or can happen!  A mind can’t perceive what it doesn’t know to exist!  This is proved by scientists and used worldwide in ‘psychological studies’ too!  That means a person should know that something exists or can happen before actually seeing it or experiencing it!  If you are not told you’ll not understand or perceive it’s existence also!  For eg: today/tomorrow while going out/to office just look at the shops/apartments/anything on the road (be cautious if you are driving!).  you’ll be surprised that you didn’t know that such an such thing existed there all these years of your travel!  And observe from tomorrow, you’ll never miss noticing it! Odd?

3. third reason being, since your mind and soul is introduced to this topic maybe, it’ll become curious and want to know more or experience it! Then your spiritual journey can start which is my reason for being here……to help you embark on that journey….

4.  last and the least of reasons is that you may take so long a time to embark on this journey that I may not be around to point it out…….but this explanation will be at the back of your mind and you’ll know it even in my absence……….this is one of the reasons why I explain in detail most of the topics that you seek clarification in. 

You may think you have understood, yet I plead read again after few days and see for yourself how you undertstand that topic. Read and reread if you really wish to benefit the most out of this blog….yes I am repeating this upteem times but I mean it again – because it’s so!

I hope you all have got your answer…..if it is too confusing, revert back to me. Let me see how better I can explain your doubt! (bye the way, I don’t use any social networking site so you can ask your question here and if you don’t want it published it can be taken care of and only explanation given without mentioning your name……..)

When we have talked about the ‘end times’, then the ‘start’ of all this experience need to be discussed once again too! Right! So let’s go to that lane! ‘The start point of all experiences….’

Kaliyuga

...contd....

I know it’s bit over the board! It’s not as simple as I feel or think about it for you! Sorry about that! This is the easiest example I can give (or anyone for that matter!) and nearest to the Truth!  But, it is not understood as it ought to be! 

Why and how do you understand it clearly and completely? How can you see beyond the words?  Simple, just be in Sadhan.  It’s only sadhan that can clear our confusion and remove all the blocks that stop us from seeing he ‘obvious’.  Only ‘sadhan’ can remove the delusion that we have understood right when we actually follow the wrong assuming it to be right……..then when we are ready the same explanation will be clear to you! 

Then why am I giving it now?  Because of 4 reasons. 1. For you to understand the need of sadhan even to understand what I am telling you.  When I say ‘understand’, I mean the way I am explaining, not the way you want to! (This is true! Two people just recently told me that they have understood what I told them 28 years ago and 14 years ago respectively! Because they have had an experience nearer to what I told them then! And mind you it’s just one of the million things that I told them! ) so you can imagine how much sadhan is required even to understand one small thing!

Kaliyug - The End Times

...contd.....

I’ll try to explain it metaphorically! Imagine ‘Pralaya’ as ‘our sleep during night’.  Yes, everyone in the world sleep during night! (let’s not bring night workers or late night party goers here please! This is to explain something I am using the nearest example…..don’t ask such silly questions please?)

But, we also get up in the morning.  Time each one of us gets up is different – varing from 3am to 2pm…right! Well, understand this as coming into this world after the Pralaya in varying point of time.  For eg: 3 am-5 am is the ‘Satya yuga’ and next 2-3 hours as ‘Threta Yuga’ and so on….what is the difference? You tell me! Difference between getting up early and late! How much of heath you lose in this bargain of getting up late? How much of man hours have you lost? Does it not effect your punctuality/productivity and why even your mood for the day? You need to squeeze in more in less time if you get up late….but a person who gets up early finishes his work early and is relaxed too and still has time for play…..

This is metaphoric explanation so don’t literally understand and argue for/against it please?

Next point though we sleep, we get up to start a new day!  But, we start from where we left yesterday night only…we don’t start afresh. Be it bank balance, health, relationships well you name it’s a continuation only…..likewise, when we enter the earth, we start with the balance of the previous ‘kalpa’ (of ourselves only) and hence don the various roles available as per our qualification, worthiness and our stage of evolution at the time of exist!

So, more sadhan means lessening the baggage of our karmas and also increasing our qualification to come back during better times like ‘satya yuga’ where life span would be for a lakh and more….think of all that you can achieve and do in such a life time…..you can be a Arjuna,Prahlad, Veda Vyasa or any of such great beings! Why do you want to live this life of limitedness again and again….think big, aim high and live simple!

End Times

…contd….

Imagine this as a game of solitaire that you play on computer! When there is possibility of ‘no more moves’ the game comes to an end and the question posed is ‘want to exist or play a different game’….it’s something like that….many times natural calamities wipe out the entire race for this purpose only – like it happened with ‘yadavas’ and ‘the Golden city of Dwaraka’ after ‘Kurukshetra war’.  The deluge wiped out the entire clan of ‘yadavas’ who were totally drunk with power, arrogance and adharma.  Only the few who followed ‘dharma’ were informed by Krishna to move out of ‘Dwaraka’ before the ‘deluge’ or the ‘great flood’ that drowned the Dwaraka and its inhabitants!

Even people who were so dear and close to Lord Krishna could not escape the ‘annihilation’ so where do we stand?  It’s only ‘Dharma’ and ‘Sadhan’ that can protect us for sure!

‘Movva’ a saint-poet once said “I’ve seen seven pralayas already and hence am not afraid of death”. Pralaya is nothing but the ‘final calamity’ that christians and other religions talk about as! It’s called ‘kayamath’ but the muslims! Name only varies the fact is the same! When every one dies during Pralaya, why this sadhan and what is the use?

I’ll try to explain it metaphorically! Imagine ‘Pralaya’ as ‘our sleep during night’.  Yes, everyone in the world sleep during night! (let’s not bring night workers or late night party goers here please! This is to explain something I am using the nearest example…..don’t ask such silly questions please?)
