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?

Where did I come from?

Why not accept the saying: “God in His Supreme playfulness, by mere resolve, has been inclined to create the worlds and they were created forthwith.

When an individual first appears in the Womb of the mother, matters appear instantly. At that stage mind lies in a state of inertia. Mind and matter are nothing but one. With their gradual manifestation the difference in them is identified. From that state the individual is in the domain of nature and a series of phenomena determine one’s every development. Sometimes it seems mechanical.

There is no birth or death. Everything goes on changing from in the stream of eternity. Being born with a human body in this world’s itself destiny. One who has a taste for God’s love wants to be born again and again with a human body, because the taste of His love cannot be possible other than in that human birth.

Our psychosomatic (mind / body) existence is essentially feminine responding back and forth to the polarity of life. Human beings have individual shape (male / female) according to the Divine Will of Lord, in spite of the fact that they originate from the same natural elements. Both (male / female) are dictated by the prompting of the mind and ego. Moving and acting in the plane of mind, all are female and the only goal is to realize the supreme Male.

When we take on a body in the realm of nature the power of (Divine Creative Force) is bound to create restrictions and obstacles in the course of life for individuals, families, societies and even for nations.

The Substance is one. This Universe as we find it today is the result of a long process of steady evolution. The world is only a small speck. We proceed from the general to the particular, but ultimately the general and particular become one. Therefore we should change our angle of vision.

Human birth is the rarest of all the births, We should try to live our life keeping Him in view. Human life is meant to feel His divine Play and thereby understand the nobility of the Creator. The mystery of birth will be unfolded only when the sweetness and beauty of the God’s Divine Play, which is the eternal Truth, is realized by turning the consciousness inward.

Human mind is similar to an Ocean, which are active at its surface and more and more quite (Silent) at its depth. Human beings are borne in the body with God from His blissful world to get real aanand (Supreme Bliss) by the taste of His love in this mortal and illusory world. But superstitious human involvements and ignorant irresponsible attitude towards God do not allow us to come near to Him or to feel His love for which we get the rear human birth. We ignore God in pursuit of worldly pleasures, profits, and attachments, which please now and depress the very next moment. We waste the precious human birth given to us. We cannot give up the superstitious of our egoistic living in the world and we forget Him, the Truth.

We shall have no fear. The entire paraphernalia of nature is the creation of the Supreme Being. The all-pervading Truth, for the relish of His Divine Play. God has appeared many in the mirror of the mind. The divine play is intrinsically bipolar having positive and negative, ups, and downs, good and bad. Oscillation between them provides the basis for all the creative possibilities of the Play. When we are in the domain of nature, we have to acquiesce in Praabdha the evolutionary process of our life). When the play is over, the two poles coalesce into mere existence, all existents having disappeared.

Where am I going ?

We are going in the direction we have chosen, either drifting through life, at the mercy of events and of our own passing whims and moods, or taking adult responsibility for the whole of ourself, our character, our actions and our future. The full stature of manhood is the perfect expression of divinity in a human personality. We are choosing, at every moment, either to waste our opportunities and deny our true Self, or to accept our destiny and move consciously towards the goal of Self-realisation.

When I die where will I go?-

The substance is one and that alone is the eternal substance. There is no vanishing, no destruction of it. It is the supreme Integral Existence. We are the eternal substances of that unregimented Supreme Being.

We say a person dies. Where does one go? There is only one place. Still we think that at death a person has gone somewhere. One does not go anywhere. We do not understand the nature of death.

There is something called death as we call it. But it is God who leaves the body and He doesn’t go anywhere. His vibration stops in the body. But until the individual mind function is over the mind remains dissatisfied. Unless and until this mind is fully satisfied it will continue to come into this world. People who were together, come together again.

In the vacuous region of the heart, which is the Infinite, two sounds are constantly chanting. When those two sounds of God’s stop it is death. When these two sounds go off, the mind shrinks and a person dies. Then the mind shrinks and the person is merged in pervasive Existence. When the mind can resort to another body, it buds forth again.

Life has no death. Life is Eternal. What we call death or end of life is actually a phase and is concerned only with the body. Body consists of matters, which dissolve in time to their original form, but self has no dissolution. We have come for a few days not forever. Why should we bother for anything?

One has no right to put a violent end to one’s own life. Live the normal term of life doing your work. Without coveting the wealth of others and enjoying Him.

Individual has no existence of their own because exit from their mortal body is inescapable. That which holds the body will return to its own abode when it leaves the body. The reality of the mortal individual is then merged in that eternal and continuous Life Force which never moves from or to any place.

When God leaves the body He does not go anywhere. And we a bunch of fools do all kinds of funeral ceremonies for His benefit! Such rites are only for mercenary interest. The deceased for whom we perform rites receive nothing. Funeral rituals are meaningless and full of superstition. It is a business or trade of the priests that takes us far from Truth. We shall keep it in mind How many days we can or do live is not important. How we lived or live is important.

We have come to another’s house we must leave it someday. He will come and take us off. For the relish of His divine Play, God has appeared as many in the mirror of the mind. The divine Play is intrinsically bipolar, having positive and negative, ups and downs, good and bad, etc. Oscillations between them provide the basis for all creative possibilities of His Play. When the Play is over, the two poles coalesce into mere Existence, all existent having disappeared.
