Tryst with life:
I wanted answers to a few of my questions on life.I seem to have a lot of clarity in my thoughts now,after an elaborate and meticulous 'Q and A' round of discussion with my grandfather and 'guru'.
Here is a brief summary of the dialogue:
Q: God resides within us and he is everywhere at the same time he states that, every one is within him,how is this all happening ? and why are we not aware of what is happening?
A: God is like the sky above us,He is everywhere,True! But He is of no definite shape or size or face or religion, He can be personified like water,like water can take shape,of any vessel it is put into.Similarly He is energy in its purest form and can be thought to be transformed in any form but the energy has no shape of its own!
Its purely our convenience to memorize Him as a human face.He is like an ocean,so no matter how many rivers carry their water to Him,and no matter how many rivers take water out from Him,the ocean still remains in dynamic equilibrium.
The whole situation can be rightly put in an apt example,Assume God to be the light emitted by the CRT,cathode ray tube,[in technical terms], of the television,and 'all of us' to be the different programmes running on air,lets say,a serial with different characters,with 'all of us' playing our part as some character in the serial, so without the light 'we all' cease to exist,and 'we all' embody the light within us.
For further clarity,assume God to be the 'Sun',without the sun knowing how we all rely on it for life,He comes everyday to enlighten our lives with its charismatic presence.Thus He is the energy without whom we all are defunct or comatose.
Q: How can we befriend ourselves ? How can we put our energies to work for our betterment and avoid ourselves from worldly desires and distractions to achieve spiritual,mental and emotional growth?
A:The key is to understand your 'own self'. You(heart+mind) are your best friend,your soul mate and your guide for life.Brood over what i said and you shall know what i mean,when i said this.
No-one,no matter how close to you can know you more than your own self.Be-friend yourself,trust yourself,endow innate trust in your abilities because there is nothing,i repeat,just nothing what we can't do!
At first master your heart, by luring it to follow the right direction,which would initially be provided to you by your mind,then comes the hard task to ensure that your heart doesn't take charge of you even before you start to show it light and you take charge of your mind+heart.After this the story is very simple,because your heart shall give you all the right decisions on its own,without you having to give it orders.Your life can't be happier if you follow this seemingly difficult but extremely advantageous and simple principle,because it is after this that you grow,spiritually,emotionally and mentally as a human-being.

the 2nd question made a lot more sense to me than the first..
ReplyDeletewhat I don't understand is: why do we even need to think about phenomenon about which we will never ever be sure about, no matter how hard we try??????
wow that's a great grand dad..hullo to him from all of us
ReplyDeleteI think both questions are quite relevant and hv been reverentially placed as well..I believe being in constant communion with your conscience is like experiencing the Grace of the Almighty..if you are true to yourself, u are true to the one who governs the universe..The God.
ReplyDelete2ndly as far as heart n mind game goes..I believe if u can distinguish b/w what u want n what u need: then u don't "need" to get into any spiritual therapy sessions. Nice one Radhu...CHeers!!
