 Law of our Destiny

 

Let us try not to run away from anything. God will give us strength. He never fails us, if we can only remember to call upon Him. The trouble is that when difficulties arise, we forget our spiritual nature, our faith is shaken our mind becomes clouded and we grow fearful. Therefore we must make it the habit of our life to keep close to the Ideal. That is religion. We must do it not only in the hour of devotion and prayer, but also in the hour of activity. We must follow the law, knowing that even the thoughts we hold in the darkness and which no one else may perceive, each contributes its share towards the molding of our destiny. If we have harmful thoughts, although they may not express themselves in action, yet they will create a poison in our system and affect us more than they affect the person towards whom they are turned. We call it a natural tendency. A man thinks it is natural for him to be angry when someone provokes him; but it is quite unnatural for one who understands himself. He does not need to control himself even, for his understanding will dispel all darkness and feelings of anger will not rise.

 

Bliss is Eternal

By Swami Kriyananda

 
What everyone really wants is bliss. Happiness is counterfeit: too much of it diffuses one’s very concept of bliss. To a mind full of attachments, bliss seems almost a threat. A cottage by the sea is something the ego, at least, can handle without effort. But bliss? Bliss requires total absorption. Few people are ready to be all that happy! They need suffering, to spur them towards ever higher aspiration.

 

A bird, after 20 years of living in a cage, would be afraid to leave it. Were the cage door opened, the bird would cower at the back, dreading the flight that is perfectly natural for it. Man, at the thought of absorption in bliss, faces two major challenges. First, to his mind, bliss implies a need for exerting high energy. Second, the concept of absolute consciousness seems overwhelming to him.

 

If you have attained a certain degree of refinement, you would be unwilling to return to living like others who limit their pleasures to the table, their bar room and the bedroom. Creatures at every stage of evolution cling to what is familiar to them. Familiarity gives them their sense of security. And, so, they may meet the call to higher awareness with stout resistance.

 

The principal challenge bliss presents is the demand that one’s ego be abandoned. Human beings define themselves in terms of their bodies. They think of themselves as having a specific age, name, nationality, sex and social position. These do not, however, truly define us at all. In infinite consciousness, not even self-awareness, ultimately, is lost; it is simply transformed. Nothing, in essence, can be either created or destroyed.

 

 

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 7 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 7 minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste 7 minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.-

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Law of our Destiny

It is useless to expect to have a life of perfect happiness and attain the highest heavenly region after we pass out of this life, unless we have something to show that we deserve these things. If we do not deserve Heaven and are given a place there, we shall not be able to keep it. This is something which often we do not remember. If today our life is moulded by our ordinary vision, if our association is vulgar and unclean then certainly we shall not be able to appreciate anything heavenly, pure and full of the fragrance of holiness. If our mind our heart our conduct and associations are of a lower nature and we are forced to go up, we shall find ourselves out of place and unhappy  Heaven is Heaven only when our heart feels in tunes with it; otherwise it become unbearable. We can never keep or enjoy anything which we do not deserve.

There are certain happening in this world which may seem accidental or unjust – an innocent person suffering, a criminal enjoying great prosperity; but they can always be explained as the working of some law. How long des a criminal prosper? Is his happiness lasting or only temporary? We cannot explain our life by looking upon this little span only. We have to connect it with all that has gone before. This existence had another existence prior to it, and that one still another and so on. Only when we connect these broken links of the chain of life, and we explain what seems inexplicable to-day. The light of wisdom reveals to us that in the cosmic universe there is no injustice. Ours is to abide by the law and to make our life rich with wisdom and with power doing. Thus we can enlarge the whole human harvest field. Other people seeing how fruitful we have made our life will profit by us noble suggestions from our life will help others. Thus it is that we help each other by helping ourselves in the right way. Courtesy reincarnation and immortality

Keep fear at bay

The Speaking Tree  | ET

God is perpetually mowing His lawns,” says FB Meyer. The musical tinkle of the whetstone on the scythe portends the cutting down of myriads of green blades and flowers. Beautiful as they were in the morning, within an hour or two they lie, faded and spent.

There is no method of obtaining a velvety lawn but by repeated mowing; and there is no way of developing tenderness, evenness, sympathy, but by the passing of God’s scythe.

When grass is mown and all the tender shoots are bleeding, when desolation reigns where flowers were bursting, the time is ripe for showers of rain to fall soft and warm.

When circumstances circumscribe us and we feel we are in captivity, for instance, rebelling against the situation does not help. If we have to turn it to the best account possible, we have to make the best of the situation.

God is often compared to the refiner and purifier of silver. It is with the most precious metals that the assayer takes the most pains and subjects them to the hot fire, because such fires melt the metal, and only the molten mass releases its alloy to take perfectly its new form in the mould. We see this process repeated in life.

God chastises those He wants to purify. The heat of opposition and misunderstanding, of being reviled and forsaken, purifies us of all the dross in our lives so that we can reflect more perfectly the divine image within us.

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.
