QOUTE FROM THE TRUE CHARM AND POWER OF VEDANTA
Thoughts on Vedanta
There is a screen here, and some beautiful scenery outside. There is a small hole in the screen through which we can only catch a glimpse of it. Suppose this hole begins to increase, as it grows larger and large more and more of the scenery comes into view, and when the screen has vanished, we come face to face with the whole of the scenery. This scene outside is the soul, and the screen between us and scenery is Maya-time, space and causation. There is a little hole some where , through which I can catch only a glimpse of the soul. When the hole is bigger. I see more and when the screen has vanished , I know that I am the soul . So changes in the universe are not in the Absolute, they are in nature . nature evolves more and more. Until the Absolute manifests itself. In everyone It exists; in some it is manifested more than in others. The whole universe is really one. In speaking of the soul, to say that one is superior to another has no meaning . in speaking of the soul to say that man is superior to the animal or the plant has no meaning; the whole universe is one. In plants the obstacle to soul manifestation is very great ; in animals a little less; and in man still less; in cultured spiritual men still less and in perfect men; it has vanished altogether . all our struggles , exercises , pans, pleasures , tears and smiles all that we do and think tend towards that goal, the tiring up of the screen making the hole bigger, thinning the layers that remain between the manifestation and the reality behind . Our work, therefore, is not to make the soul free, but to get rid of the bondages. The sun is covered by layers of could, but remains unaffected by them. The work of the wind is to drive the clouds away, and the more the clouds disappear, the more the light of the sun appears. There is no change whatsoever in the soul –infinite , absolute eternal, knowledge, bliss and existence . neither can there be birth or death for the soul. Dying and being born, reincarnation and going to heaven, cannot be for the soul. These are different appearances, different mirages, different dreams, If a man who is dreaming of this world now dreams of winked thoughts and wicked deeds, after a certain time the thought of that very dream will procure the next dream. He will dream that he is in a horrible place, being tortured. The man who is dreaming good thought and good deeds. after that period of dream is over, will dream he is in a better place; and so on form dream to dream. But the time will come when the whole of this dream will vanish. To everyone of us there must come a time when the whole universe will be found to have been a mere dream, when we shall find that the soul is infinitely better than its surroundings. In this struggle through what we call our environments. There will come a time when we shall find that these environments were almost zero in compression with the power of the soul. It is only a question of time and time is nothing in the infinite. It is a drop in the ocean. We can afford to wait and be calm.

the original
By Meena Om
We have come full circle from being simple,
pure, pious, soulful and real humans, to shrewd, conniving, manipulative and
hypocritical, without realising how much we have maligned our natural process
of spiritual evolution. We are supposed to be ‘beings of light — reflection of
the Divine’ but have become products of mind tactics, lost in the darkness of
ignorance, to the extent that we don’t even realise this truth. Now, Nature
seems to have taken the reigns in her hands — either succumb to unawareness, or
work on the self for empowerment to come out of it.
We can change this. First step is to go for a
digital detox by leaving all typical, mechanically framed, fabricated messages
and borrowed phrases. The planet and its aura are netted with unaccountable,
unnatural and unnecessary vibrations of useless words, tuneless, disharmonious
sounds, and frivolous thoughts produced by exploiting the digital media to the
maximum. Now Nature is cornering us all to mend our existing, selfish,
fashionably acquired ways of overusing everything provided by Nature and
science for personal comforts.
Connect with Nature; learn to live without too
much dependence on digital devices and artificial means. Acquire the habit of
dhyana, meditation, and have right nutrition from natural sources — foods
without preservatives — to detox your body and mind for the next quantum leap
for evolution. Let’s be natural, spontaneous and original for newness.
IF HE EXIST
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.-
