A Prayer

A Prayer (translation of a widely chanted verse)

You are my only mother
You are my only father
You are my only brother
You are my only friend
You are my only knowledge
You are my only wealth
O! God! You only are everything to me!

ORIGINAL SANSKRIT:-

Twamwv Mata ch
Pita Twamev
Twamev Bandhus ch
Sakha Twamev
Twamwv Vidya
Dravidm Twamev
Twamev Sarvam Mam Dev Dev!

Dull days

Days travel with pace of snail
Nights competes with days
World seems to be standstill
Time as if not inching!
Wind is not blowing
Rivers are not flowing
Oh! To counter stillness

Stranger-

Worldly relations are different. In this world, extramarital relationship is a crime but when it comes to Krishna, it becomes the best possible deed! Some one asked Shankarcharya (one of the greatest philosophers India had) , “Which is the action, when performed, never causes repentance for performing that action?” The reply was, “If someone loves Krishna, he or she will never have to repent for what he or she had done!” So this ‘Touch me not’ actually means ‘Touch me quick and hold me fast!’ It is the way to incite Krishna in doing what is intended by telling him to do exactly opposite!

Stranger!

Even ladies of Vrindavan (a village where Krishna lived) tell Lord, “Touch me not!” However, there is no validity in the argument that they propose. Their argument is, “I am from a good family, I am married and I do not indulge in love with a third person who is not my husband. My husband is mine; my children are mine so I love them. I don’t love a stranger!” The reply is, “Krishna is no way stranger to anyone. He resides in every heart! He, therefore, very much yours!

Hold me fast

Divine Love can be seen as infinite ropes coming down from the only source of LOVE – God. Every one is climbing to its destination – God. There are other ropes too, which lead to other destinations. The moment you distract your attention to other ropes, you slide down as your grip loosens. So, to keep the rope tight one must constantly think of God till the destination is reached.

Hold me fast

How do I forget
Hot memories of soft touch
It comes to me
over and over, again and again!

Touch that was soft
Made my life hard
How can you be so hard
When you speak so soft!

Love: Some points

One more clarification – Love is supreme not only in all emotions but also in all ways to God and it is independent of any other requirement. It does not require any help from meditation, from knowledge, from yoga or from karma. Everyone knows how to love. Just one needs to channel it into realm of God. The object of love has been so for from material world. Just change to God. Nothing more is required to seek God! So easy!

God always love people who are modest and humble!

Defilement

Defilement! What is the origin of defilement? As a newborn, mind appears to be quite pure. Not even a trace of deceit! What makes it impure as it grows? Why God waits till mind gets defiled? The issue is not so easy to address! The origin of all defilement lies in not spending enough time on thinking over basic issues.

1. If there is mind (and no one objects its presence), why it is not visible by human eyes even with strongest of microscope?

2. Is it the outer form of body that decides state of mind or state of mind decides the outer form of body?
3. Who experiences all feelings?

Love, Business and Lust

Love: To give. To donate. To put beloved’s happiness above your own happiness. To link your happiness to your beloved’s happiness. If your beloved is happy, you are happy. You live for your beloved not for you.

Business: Give and take. To put beloved’s happiness at par with your happiness. To some extent, delink your happiness from beloved’s happiness. If you are making him happy, you expect your happiness in return. You live for your beloved and for yourself. It is usually 50:50 relationship.

Two aspects of working of a mind -2

Our action also brings about a change in our mind. Every action that we perform makes the instinct of the same behaviour stronger each time. Thus we are forced to perform the same kind of action in future. Thus our past deeds decide our tendency to act or react.

To be more precise,

1. Presentation of sufferings or happiness is not something over which one has control

2. How to react to situation is in one’s control.

The second factor also has two divisions:

1. Mind’s tendency to react according to past deeds

Two aspects of working of a mind -1

Little Big!

The little thought of loving God is the biggest thought that one can think of.

There are two aspects of working of a mind.

1. To account for some thing that was done in past. This comes to you in the form of presentation of sufferings, happiness, opportunities, threats etc.

2. To effect a change in the mind so that it thinks in a certain way in future.
