HOW TO ATTAIN SUPREME LOVE

 

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

HOW TO ATTAIN SUPREME LOVE

It is said in the Bhagavad Gita;

“Freedom from activity is never achieved by abstaining from action. Nobody can become perfect by merely ceasing to act. In fact nobday can ever rest from this activity even for a moment. (Here activity menas also mental action conscious or subconscious). All are helplessly forced to act by Gunas.

“A man who renounces physical action but still lets his mind dwell on the objects of his sensual desire is deceiving himself. He can only be called a hypocrite. The truly admirable man controls his senses by the power of his will. All his action are disinterested. All are directed along the path to union with Brhaman.

“The world is imprisoned by its own activity, except when actions are preformed as worship of God. Therefore you must perform every action sacramentally and be free from all attachment to results.

Sri Kishna teaches the secret of worhsipping God through all one’s activities . He says ;

Whatever you action

Food or worship;

Whatever the gift you give to another;

Whatever you vow to the work of the Spirit O Son of Kunti

Lay these also as offering before me.

Sankara, having realized his secret of work, said. “Whatever I do O Lord all that is they worship.”

“Worldliness means to feel that “I” am the doer and attachment to worldly objects and persons is to feel that “I” possess them , they belong to “me” and they are “mine” Sri Ramakrishna of the used to say ,”I am machine. Thou art the operator. I am the house Thou art the dweller in the house. I do as Thou makest me do. I speak as Thou makes me speak.

God is the king, the ruler within our hearts but when through ignorance, we become forgetful of his benign presence within us, we have usurped his throne. We must shun the false sense of ego. And let the true king, the Lord within rule us , guide us in every way. Say day and night “Not I not I but Thou my Lord”

The spiritual aspirant should try to imitate the lives and actions of the enlightened ones. He should keep his goal always before him: union with God. The best method of reaching this goal is to cultivate faith that union can be achieved, not in the distant future but at any moment. At the same time, however, he must have patience. Patience and perseverance are the two characterizes of a true spiritual aspirant.

In union with Nature

By: Osho, ET

To be against nature is utter foolishness. The divine cannot be against nature; it is hidden in nature itself. So nature has not to be fought against, rather it is a veil that has to be removed. Nature is a part of the divine, it is its expression. Fighting with nature we can go further and further away from the divine but never closer to it. But we have been taught to fight nature since eternity: the divine has been put in opposition to nature. Result: nothing but spiritual poverty.

Nature is in God, and God is in nature. Godliness does not mean being free from nature: it is a complete union with nature. Teaching us to be against nature has taken away the very bridge between our lives and our meeting with the divine.

Nature is a bridge. It is a road that will lead to your destination. There is no other road than that. Nature has to be loved. Only love opens its door. And from that very door, we can see the divine. But we have been told that nature is a bondage. It is a prison. It is sin. These wrong teachings have poisoned man’s mind. And so his love toward nature and his possibility of true knowing have been greatly damaged.

 

Before the divine can be brought into people’s lives, they must bring back nature into their lives. Without nature first being present in our hearts, the divine cannot be present. The love for nature ultimately transforms itself into a prayer to the divine. Freedom is not from nature, freedom is in nature

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.-
