Renew
yourself
“Mind is good servant, but bad master”, said
Anandmuriti Gurumaa in Satsang.
Our mind is
where our thoughts emanate from . so mind is the master. The great Rishis of
yore had analyzed and concluded that change for the better can be brought about
only by a change of the mood of the mind. If that is changed, then changes in
one’s lifestyle, attitude to things, behavior and quality of thoughts also
follow suits. This change has to be brought about at three levels-the quality
of thoughts, the quality of thoughts and direction of thoughts change; we can
confidently say that the mind ahs changed. When the mind is changed, we are
changed. When we change, everything about us become new. We don’t have to wait
for the first of January. The day we change, it is new beginning for us. We are
the master of our life.
In the same
way, we must learn that Time as such is ever pure , ever new , never old .
Now-a-days , the trend is to say I don’t know what kind of a time this is, a
very sad time .Every where around the world there are wars, destruction…. “if
we examine the carefully , we realize that we, the humans who have committed
these atrocities. Who is blame? Is it Time? Has time killed anybody? Time never
did it. It is ‘We” the people on Earth, prompted by our false values of hatred.
Jealousy, greed, passions, and lust , act in the world . the quality of these
very actions is our contributions to Time making or marring it.
What we need
is courage to change and renew ourselves. If the courage to change is absent no
progress is possible. What is wanted is a renewal of attitude. This can be
attained through devotion to the Lord, which can bring a sea change in one’s
thoughts. When we are in a good company of quiet and serene-minded people, our
thoughts can seldom go astray. We don’t even indulge in vices, entertain mean
thoughts. when each individual changes thus , the world outside is also
effectively changed. Courtesy wisdom
Quote
from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
Man has freedom
already, but he will have to discover it. He has it, but every moment forgets
it. That discovering consciously or unconsciously is the whole life of every
one. But the difference between the sage and the ignorant man is that one does
it consciously and the other unconsciously. Every one is struggling for
freedom-from the atom to the star. The ignorant man is satisfied is he can get
freedom within a certain limit-if he can get rid of the bondage of hunger or of
being thirsty. But that sage feels that there is a stronger bondage which has
to be thrown off. He would not consider the freedom of the Red Indian as
freedom at all.,
According to
our philosophers, freedom is the goal. Knowledge cannot be the goal, because
knowledge is a compound. It is a compound of poer and freedom . and it is
freedom alone that is desirable. That is what men struggle after . simply the
possession of power would not be knowledge. For instance, a scientist can send
some water on fire to a distance, but nature can sent it to an unlimited
distance. Why do we not build statues to nature then? It is not law that we
want but ability to reach law. We want to be outlaws. If you are bound by laws,
you will be a lump of clay. Whether you are beyond law or not is not the
question; but the thought that we are beyond law-upon that is based that whole
history of humanity. For instance, a man lies in a forces, and ever ahs had any
education or knowledge. He sees a stone falling down- a natural phenomenon
happening-and –he thins is it freedom he thinks it has a soul, and the central
idea in that is freedom. But as soon as he knows that it must fall, he calls it
nature-dead, mechanical action. I may or may not go into the street. In that is
my glory as a man. If I am sure that I must go there. I give myself up and
become a machine. Nature with its finite power is only a machine; freedom alone
constitutes sentient life.

But,
if He exists?
I drive joy There was a
doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation
on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they
argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been
misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I
agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But if He exists? I am afraid you
are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a
lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
