Embodiments of Love!
My life is not too long
But
In the short span I want the eternal bliss!
Lord Krishna says
न किन्चिदपि चिन्तयेत्।
Think of nothing else [than fixing the mind on the self]
( if we fix the mind on self it will focus consciously on the work on hand)
How to attain one-pointedness of Mind?
I dissipate the self’s boundless potential power of knowing in brooding over worldly trifles!
This must stop!
So the possible flaw could be in selfishness!
I love things and persons!
But
Who does love want?
Atmanasya kaamaaya sarvam priyam bhavathi
Everything is loved for the sake of Self (in other words we are all selfish brutes with selfishness to the core)
Na va are patyuh kamaya patih priyo bhavati, atmanas tu kamaya patih priyo bhavati;
na va are jayayai kamaya jaya priya bhavati; atmanas tu kamaya jaya priya bhavati;
na va are sarvasya kamaya sarvam priyam bhavati; atmanas tu kamaya sarvam priyam bhavati
(Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. 2.4.5)
Verily, not for the sake of the husband is the husband loved, but he is loved for the sake of the self [which, in its true nature, is one with the Supreme Self].
Verily, not for the sake of the wife is the wife loved, but she is loved for the sake of the self….Verily, not for the sake of the All is the All loved, but it is loved for the sake of the self.
Verily, it is the Self that should be realized—should be heard of, reflected on, and meditated upon.”
Once a chick of Garuda( eagle) was growing among a hen and chicken; like other chicken it was feeding on worms by walking around exploring dirt and filth.
An eagle located this eagle chick and asked the eagle chick to see its reflection in the pond nearby!
After seeing its own self, the eagle chick realized its true worth, spread its wings and started flying high!
No more dirt!
No more filth!
I come to the point of my obsession on Surrender and Love, the 2 principles which cannot die even after this physical body falls one day to be buried!
Love for Love sake
Work for work sake
No bias
No prejudice
No opinions
No gossiping
No assumptions
No doubting
No thinking
No crookedness
No Reservations
No brooding over the fast
No worrying for future
Just be there and do it!
The power of the mind is in attending to the work on hand and forgetting all other nonsense!
How can I achieve the above?
SURRENDER is the Mantra!
To be the brush in the hands of an artist!
To be the pen in the hands of a writer!
When our mind is able to achieve this then the all the forces of the Universe will start flowing towards us!
Then whatever we do becomes one pointed and fully focused.
धन्यवाद:
See you in the next episode
With lots of love
