We
are Borne why ? We have come here for certain work.
We shall have to do
it. Afterward we shall have to go to our permanent House. By remembering God,
we realize Him. That is true work. Work is worship when the sole frame of
reference is the soul, the vibrant God’s name within our heart.
Every bit of work is
worship. But the moment any kind of work grips our consciousness as the one
thing indispensable and is stems the tide of our life, it is invested with the
multiple nuances and derives of our ego and lacks spirituality.
Without this human
body no other world divinities can taste His Love. In the body of a person
resides Supreme Truth LORD KRISHANA is worshipped as a Paramyogi, a Sannyasi
and a wise man. He is also a romantic lover, a shrewd warrior and a benevolent
savior – all in one! This may be the reason why the Hindus worship him as the
Purnavtar, a total incarnation of God on earth. No other incarnation of God is
so much endowed with such diverse qualities as Krishna. All shades and colors of
life – mischievous play fullness of a child, flirtatious romance of young man
and ultimate maturity of a wise old man – meet in Krishna and they create a
wide spectrum of colors, that has been attracting all kinds of artists,
dancers, musicians, poets, writers and other creative people. The very meaning
of his name Krishna is the element that attracts and pulls. Krishna is a
magnetic force.
He is a perfect
example of Maha Dhyani-(Greatest Mediator) who is equally comfortable and fully
centered when he is surrounded by his 16000 Pretty Gopis and particularly when he is in the
middle of an epic war. He is totally relaxed and playful in all these extreme
situations and takes life as a cosmic Leela, an ultimate dance of existence,
which the poets have described as Raas. “This word raas is very beautiful: it
means the divine celebration, the divine dance. In this interplay of energies,
which are Raas, Krishna and his milkmaids cease to be individuals, they move as
pure energies.
And this dance of
male and female energies together brings deep contentment and bliss; it turns
into an outpouring of joy and bliss. Raising from Krishna’s Raas this bliss
expands and permeates every fiber of the universe. Although Krishna and his
girlfriends are no more with us as people, the moon and the stars under which
they danced together are still with us, and so are the trees and the earth and
the skies that were once so drunk with the bliss of the raas. Although
millennia have passed, the vibes of the maha-raas are still with us. “If someone
goes to dance on the grounds where Krishna once danced with his Gopis he can
hear the echoes of the Maha- Raas. If someone plays a flute near the hills that
in the music of Krishna’s flute, he can hear those hills echoing it,
everlastingly. In my view, Raas symbolizes the outpouring of the primeval
energy as it is divided between man and women. And if we accept this
definition, the Rass is as relevant today as it was in the times of Krishna.
Then it is everlastingly relevant.”
So the body is to be
treated as His Temple and taken care of. Only for performing the bodily duties
has the riches of the body been given. Eat, drink, do everything, but remember
Him, Who is inside the body. To move according to nature is the safe course.
We have come here to
do all sorts of acting. We have come here as a guest. We have taken our body as
a temporary place to enjoy God in the Maya (Creative force of God manifests in
ever-changing nature)! We have come to taste it! But we have become otherwise
engaged. Be always with God’s name then the objective with which we have come
here will be realized.
We are here with this
body. Just maintain the body, nothing else. Body is not ours. We have taken
that body the temple of God as a temporary place to enjoy Him in the (God’s
creative force which manifests in nature, and therefore God’s grace to us).
When we have come here, we have come here with mind senses, desire and
attachments. We shall have to give something to them. If we stop everything,
they will revolt.
To be born with human
form in this mortal world has only one happy object. That is the relish the joy
of God’s Love. Only it is the tendency of human mind to run under the
compulsion of innumerable allurements and attachments. But even being involved
in them what a Supreme blessing is this human birth. How ineffably is this
world filled with beauty and flavor! We have come to taste it! But we have
become otherwise engaged. Be always with God’s name then the objective with
which we have come here will be realized. Now the question is always arises in
the mind of a person! Where did I come from?
