KARMA

If knowledge is better than work then why not to become a yogi and leave all the worldly pleasures behind, all the happiness sadness behind.?
Karma is important. Everyone do their karma. Even yogi does his karma. There is no escape from karma. Karma is important. if eyes are there, they will see, if ears are there, they will hear. You can not stop them but you can control your eyes what to see and what not to see. A yogi too has all his senses but he knows how to use his senses properly, how to control his senses.
Karma is yagya. Do your karma with your pure heart. For a yogi its yagya and for us its karma. The person who doesn’t play his part in the life cycle then his presence becomes unimportant. Perform all your earthly work with full mind and heart.
You are in the society. So understand your importance and play your part well. The person who will be fruitful for the society will be helping God and will take you to sidhi. Sidhi is nothing but the ultimate knowledge. The knowledge after which nothing would be left to know. Do your karma, understand the society well, understand the people well. Learn all the lessons well which pass by. This will uplift you to the level where you will have the power to understand human nature and society. Once your reach to that understanding, you have attained sidhi.
A great person’s life story becomes the example of many. The path finder of many.
A person’s desires and anger forces him to do sin. His selfishness, fascination, fantasy drives him to insanity.
Reponsibility is your karma. Your responsibility is your dharma. If the society is not stable the person in the society can’t remain be stable. You are a part of society. You shouldn’t understand yourself the master of society but part of society and help it to develop.
Lotus lives in water but never gets wet. You cant run from responsibilities. You have to live among selfishness, greed, fantasy, desires and lust and still have to rise above them and come out with purity and even being touched by them. That the real champion. He has knowledge of everything from good things and bad things but he doesn’t require to experience it. Three things to control. Man, indriyan and proud/anger. He is the real king of himself.

Unity/perfection/absolute/ideal/God/soul

Reference from Vivekananda Speech.

The best proof a Hindu sage gives about the soul, about God, is: 'I have seen the soul; I have seen God.' And that is the only condition of perfection. The Hindu religion does not consist in struggles and attempts to believe a certain doctrine or dogma, but in realizing - not in believing, but in being and becoming.


And what becomes of a man when he attains perfection? He lives a life of bliss infinite. He enjoys infinite and perfect bliss, having obtained the only thing in which man ought to have pleasure, namely God, and enjoys the bliss with God.


Perfection is absolute, and the absolute cannot be two or three. It cannot have any qualities. It cannot be an individual. And so when a soul becomes perfect and absolute, it must become one with Brahman, and it would only realize the Lord as the perfection, the reality, of its own nature
and existence, the existence absolute, knowledge absolute, and
bliss absolute.

Science is nothing but the finding of unity. As soon as science would reach perfect unity, it would stop from further progress, because it would reach the goal. Thus chemistry could not progress farther when it would discover one element out of which all others could be made. Physics would stop when it would be able to fulfill its services in discovering one energy of which all the others are hut manifestations, and the science of religion become perfect when
it would discover Him who is the one life in a universe of death, Him who is the constant basis of an ever-changing world, One who is the only Soul of which all souls are but delusive manifestations. Thus is it, through multiplicity and duality, that the ultimate unity is reached. Religion can go no farther. This is the goal of all science.

SEPARATION

You never new the person before his birth and would never new them after their death. There were present in some form which you do not know, will not know their next form. So why you are sad on their death. Death is the door to new life. If a girl/guy wants to go, wants to leave you, let them go. They were never yours and nor your adamant will keep them with you.
If death is the end of the body and this is truth then why are you mourning for truth.

SOUL

Soul is the purest form. It is a an attribute of God or The God as attributes defines an entity and in actual it is the entity.

The main element is not the body but the soul. And death is not the journey of the soul. Infact soul neither had a beginning nor an end. Its on an endless journey. Body is just a matter. Death is just a transition (or passages/transformations). The journey of body and soul are different. Body journey becomes a small part of soul’s journey. Its like wearing a new cloth everytime. Cloths are not immortal. You buy a cloth which suits you the most. With the time its looses its purity/shine and its time to change your clothes. The more you take care of the cloth, the longer the duration it would last but it will become dull sometime. So take care of your body well. Eat healty, keep it fit by various outdoor activities. Destruction can even touch the soul so why there is a mourn and for whom. There was no time and will not be any moment when you/we was/would not be there.
Death will come to the entity which had a beginning. Soul is bigger than time.
If then the soul was created, it must die.

Souls are immortal, spirits free, blest and eternal. We are not matter, we are not bodies. Matter is our Servant and not we the servant of matter.

A man ought to live in this world like a lotus leaf, which grows in water but is never moistened by water; so a man ought to live in the world - his heart to God and his hands to work.

Journey is never from error to truth, but from truth to truth, from lower to higher truth. Its all about realizations. Realization about your soul. Realization about your inner God. Realization about you.

Sad moments

Good times and bad times are a part of journey. The person who considers both equal, is the matured person.
Does God doesn’t see widow's tears or the orphan's cry? But this is the law of nature.

No one will manufacture a lock without a key similarly God wont give problems without solution.
If you miss an opportunity don’t fill the eyes with tears, it will hide another better opportunity in front of you.

Results/outcome of you efforts…success /failure

Mission is the main thing and not ambition(driving force).

The result of your efforts is not in your hand. Work, work what you feel is right, put your efforts for the goal which you want to achieve but the result is never in your hand so never long for it and never regret for your efforts and action as it was never in your hand.

How is it possible? The desire of the goal make us put our best efforts ? how will it be possible then?
You have to do something. You just can’t sit idle. Even siting idle is also doing something i.e sitting. Either you will do some work or you will not do. You will have to choose something at every stage. You do not have the option to ignore choice. So choose what you thing is correct and time will decide the right result for you.
If you are doing work that you think is appropriate for you then the happiness of winning and pain of loosing should never move you. You will be satisfied that atleast you did something and you put best efforts from your side. There are no regrets but lessons. You have learnt a good lesson with your efforts and that will make you more mature than ever. If the results affect you in some way then you may loose your path. You may forget the lesson you learnt in your journey and you may then commit an error in future which will all wash off the lesson your learnt.

Do whatever is in your hands. The goal is never in your hands but striving for it is in your hands so put your best efforts. You have only the choice of doing it or not but not the choice of result.
When you think of a result and put your efforts to achieve it then you get attached to the result and good feelings (imagination)that you get after achieving that goal. When you come to terms with reality that you have still not achieved it after your effort then you become frustrated that makes you more attached to the result and desire. This gives rise to anger. This makes you uncomfortable which might give rise to irrational behaviour. You will not think before any action and this takes him to destruction.
Never think about the fruits of the tree. First think about the tree..the present. Control your desires. A desire will never allow u to see the truth. Think beyond that.

Our Creation

God did not create this world…God has became or transformed into the Universe.

Creation doesn’t have a beginning or an end. One matter transforms into the other.

What’s ur birth date? So were you created on the same day? You were always there in one form or the other. Like embryo before and something else before.

They mean the accumulated treasury of spiritual laws discovered by different persons in different times. Just as the law of gravitation existed before its discovery, and would exist if all
humanity forgot it. creation is without beginning or end.

Propensities

We cannot deny that bodies acquire certain tendencies from heredity, but those tendencies only mean the physical configuration through which a peculiar mind alone can act in a peculiar way.
There are other tendencies peculiar to a soul caused by his past actions. And a soul with a certain tendency would, by the laws of affinity, take birth in a body which is the fittest instrument for the display of that tendency.

There are hereditary diseases like diabetes etc etc but they are not connected the outcome of soul. Soul is the purest form. It is a an attribute of God or The God as attributes defines an entity and in actual it is the entity.

I am thinking in English. It is not my mother Tongue; in fact, no words of my mother tongue are now present in my consciousness; but let me try to bring them up, and they rush in.
That shows that consciousness is only the surface of mental ocean, and within its depths are stored up all our experiences. Try and struggle, they would come up. and you would be conscious even of your past life.

Love God for Love's sake

It is good to love God for hope of reward in this or the next world, but it is better to love God for love's sake. Love without the hope of reward - love unselfishly for love's sake. Flowers do not give us anything but our nature is to love the grand, the beautiful, therefore we love them. Similarly, we love the Lord. He is the source of all beauty, of all sublimity. He is the only object to beloved. Our nature is to love Him, and therefore we love. we must not pray for any- thing we shoulnt ask for anything. Let Him place us wherever He likes. we must love Him for love's sake. we cannot trade in love.

Religion

The aim of every religion is to evolve a God out of a man. To endow with purity. To drift him close to his soul.

As the different streams having their sources in different places all mingle their water in the sea same way different religion take through different tendencies, various though they appear in practice, all lead to God.

IDOL WORSHIP

Whenever we talk to a person on phone, we make an image of him/her in our mind with all his attributes. The attributes defines our way of communicating to him. When we haven’t met a person to whom we are talking, we make an image by this way of answering, his voice and other characteristics. That’s why we use an external symbol when we worships. it helps to concentrate whom we pray. We all know the image is not God. Idols..temples..books are the supports that helps us in realizing things..realizing God.
It is not that this help is necessary for everyone, but those who do not need it have no right to condemn others. Its simply another way of communication.
