Embodiments of Love!
There is a traditional slokam
Normally people just give a meaning that glorifies the unseen God and the achievements blessed by Him/Her!
mookam karothi vaachalam pangum langayategirim
yatkripa tamaham vande paramananda madhavam
Meaning:
Salutations to the absolute delight sweetness, by whose grace, a speechless person becomes talkative and a marooned person crosses the mountain
Word by word meaning:
mookam—speechless/dumb
karoti—does
vachalam—talkative
pangum——lame/crippled/halted
langayate—jumps/crosses
yat—ind---that
kripa—grace
tam—him
aham—i
vande—salute
parama—absolute
ananda—bliss/delight/happiness
Madhavam--sweetness
But I see some hidden meaning to this; there are people who achieve without turning to God!
The climax point at the end of this episode will clarify the possibility of the above achievement without a God!
Ramez Sasson shares the following on Mind:
What you affirm sinks into the subconscious mind, becomes part of the subconscious mind, and consequently affects your behavior and actions. If your affirmations are positive, they lead you to success.
Your thoughts, which are part of your mind, possess power. The thoughts that you most often think tend to come true. If you pour your mental energy into the same thoughts or mental images day after day, they will become stronger and stronger, and would consequently affect your attitude, expectations, behavior and actions. These thoughts and mental images can even be subconsciously perceived by other people, who would then offer you help or opportunities. Your thoughts can also create what is usually termed as coincidence. They can attract into your life corresponding events, situations and opportunities.
For authentication I have one source only, Bhagavad Gita!
Chapter 2 has mind boggling messages related to mind matters!
The restlessness of the mind is caused by the activity of the senses which bind the mind to the sense objects through desire.
So the mind cannot be stabilized unless the senses are controlled and the mind is detached from the sense-objects through the cultivation of detachment or "vairagya."
(Chapter II, Verses 58-64)
"He who can withdraw his senses completely from the sense objects like a tortoise withdraws its limbs , his mastery is established."
Sense objects cease to torment him who practices abstention, although the taste for them still remains in his consciousness. It would completely disappear only when he experiences the transcendental life.
"The senses throw out of balance,e even the mind of a man who has complete knowledge of discrimination and is attempting to control them.
"Keeping all the senses under his full control he who establishes them in me, his intelligence is stabilized
"By constantly thinking of sense objects, one develops attachment with them. From attachment is born desire and from desire comes anger.
"From anger develops delusion, from delusion comes confusion of memory, from confusion of memory arise loss of intelligence and when intelligence is lost the breath of life is lost.
"Freed from passion and dispassion, by keeping the senses that are acting on the sense objects under firm control and by following the dictates of the inner soul, a person can gain the mercy of God."
