How high is your goal?

…contd….

This you can apply in every situation. You can GET what you want but to retain it and also to retain it and also be happy about it – well that’s not guaranteed. We always slog thinking we’ll be happy the moment we GET what we DESIRE. Desiring is not at fault. Working for it too isn’t. Assuming “possessing” is all that needs to be done is the basis of our pain and suffering. Remember “by the time cost doesn’t matter on menu car, calories do!” so true!

 

·         Jaya and Vijaya could have chosen to take first option of being born as devotees too. But they were so much in love with the Lord that separation for seven janmas was simply unbearable for them. If only it was so for each one of us! The pain of separation was much greater than the pain of being trapped in a body that was Asuric (demonic) in nature. When in love, soul makes choices that give it “short term pain but long term benefits”. These are the moments and such decisions “make the heart cry in pain but soul dances in joy”. Love is not about happiness only. It also gives immense pain while making choices that are related with it. Pain and pleasure come in the same package. Only one can never be purchased. Sometimes, we need to go far from our love to be close to it. Sounds paradoxical but hope it’s clear?

 

·         If you can go a little away from all this, stop seeing them as individual events and personal stories. Then you’ll understand about cosmos. 

 

   It was, is and will always be! There never was a time it didn’t exist and there never will be time it won’t. this is the drama that would go on for eternity. We come, we go. We change our places and roles but we continue to play various roles. Only thing we can choose is to choose which part to play and that is decided by our ‘karma’ and not be wish. So do karmas that’ll help you to enjoy this game by playing grandeur characters instead of ‘one in the crowd’ character. So heal yourself, increase your worthiness and raise to higher roles and experiences! And yes you could be next ‘Ravana’ too if his character amuses you, in the next cycle of creation!

 

So Lord took the form of Lord Rama with the sole purpose of killing Ravana. And healing Ahalya and Sabari were add-ons right?
 

Please answer this question to yourself atleast before going further. In fact take a pen and paper and jot down the answer. Why are you working – be it in office/ your business or as a house-wife? please write down the answer.
