On spring cleaning!

On spring cleaning! 






The edges along the walls are dark (smudged).  I cleaned them too as I cleaned each room.

Result: The room looked bright.

The light seemed to reflect more.

Felt light and happy.

Effect on the physical body though was painful. All the scrubbing, mopping and all is very strenuous. My body was in sheer pain.



But the heart was dancing with joy. One example of “When the body and mind cry for what it lost, the soul rejoices for what it gained”.

At such a moment when someone asks me “How are you?”, I reply 

“zindagi mein gham hai,

Gham mein dard hai

Dard mein mazaa ahi aur

Maze mein hum hai”


"There is sadness in life

and in that sadness there is pain

in that pain is fun

and I am having fun in life"

Meaning there is enjoyment even in pain and suffering of life.

 

So you see we are living in ‘multiple planes or levels of consciousness’.

Normally people associate and identify with only the physical body and sometimes with the mind. So they suffer as per the physical body’s state of being. If it cries, people cry, if it is happy, then they ‘think’ they are happy.

But a ‘sadhak’ is one who knows he is not a ‘physical entity’. He knows he experiences through various other mediums too. So, he is aware of this phenomena – “When the body cries, the soul dances”.

Contd.....
