Embodiments of Love!
As long as one is egoistic, no one will love him including his wife and children, though they may pretend to do so. So long as there is anger in an individual, grief is inevitable. Satisfaction eludes one who has desires. One with greed can never enjoy any comforts. Ego, anger, desire and greed are the root cause for absence of peace of mind.
Man feels, happiness and peace of mind results from spiritual practices, but in reality it is not so. Mind is the root cause for happiness and sorrow. So conquer the mind. Conquering the mind will lead you to a stage of equanimity, wherein you treat the dualities alike. Vedanta has declared: "Manayeva Manushyaanaam Kaaranam Bandhamokshayoh", mind is the cause for both bondage and liberation. Once you control your mind, you will grow beyond the dualities of sadness and happiness. Welcome sorrow just as you welcome happiness. In fact the happiness that you derive out of pleasure is negligible compared to the happiness that results from difficulties. History is replete with examples of people who stand a testimony to this fact. All noble and ideal people had to undergo ordeals before they experienced happiness. "Nasukhaath Labhyathe Sukham", happiness is derived only from difficulties, but man wants only happiness, not difficulties. This is quite contradictory to the principles of spirituality.
"Punyasya Phalamichchanthi
Punyam Nechchanthi Maanavaah
Napaapa Phalamichchanthi
Paapam Kurvanthu Yathnathaha"
Man desires good results, but does not perform meritorious deeds. He does not want the fruits of bad actions, yet he plunges into undesirable activities.
The nine paths of devotion are recommended in order to experience divinity latent in man. They are: Sravanam (listening), Keerthanam (singing), Vishnusmaranam (remembrance), Paadasevanam (serving the Lotus Feet), Vandanam (salutation), Archanam (worship), Daasyam (servitude), Sneham (friendship), Atmanivedanam (surrender). Love is the life-breath of all these forms of devotion.
How, can one attain the Principle of Brahma? Brahma means the all-pervasive cosmic principle. According to the Puranas, Brahma originated from the navel of Vishnu. Who is Vishnu? He is the one who is all pervasive. Vishnu and Brahma are synonymous with the Atma. Atma is derived from the root word 'Ahas', meaning 'daytime'. Ahas dispels darkness of ignorance. Therefore, the cosmic form is described as the Effulgent One. This Brahma is not limited to a specific name and form. It is also referred to as 'Brihat', meaning all-pervasive. One has to follow the truth to attain the Effulgent One. "Yath Drisyam Thannasyam', all that is seen is bound to perish.
"Asthiram Jeevanam Loke,
Asthiram Yavvanam Dhanam
Asthiram Daara Putraadi
Sathyam Keerthi Dwayam Sthiram"
Money, youth, wife and children are all temporary. Only Sathyam (truth) and Keerthi (fame) are eternal. That is why Brahma is referred to as 'Sathyam'. Jnanam (wisdom) emerged from Sathyam. Sathyam and Jnanam are all-pervasive. That is why the Vedas have declared: "Sathyam Jnanam Anantham Brahma." God is Truth, Wisdom and Infinite. The embodiment of Truth can be experienced only by following the path of Truth. Truth transcends time - past, present and future.
Why does God incarnate? To enable man to understand and experience his latent divinity, and unity in diversity. The essence of spirituality lies in visualizing unity in diversity. This is the goal of human life. Atma is the same in all irrespective of their name, country and life style. This Atma is referred to as conscience, which permeates the body from top to toe. The goal of spirituality is to realize oneness of Atma in all. Man on account of attachment to body, is oblivious to his innate divinity and visualizes diversity in unity. This is due to ignorance. God incarnates in order to teach the underlying unity in diversity. Krishna has declared: "Mamaatma Sarvabhoothaantharaatma" (I am the indweller in all beings). Body can be compared to a mirror. This mirror (body) is made of clay. This body, Mrinmaya (made of clay) has to be transformed into Chinmaya (one of awareness). No spiritual practices are required to do so. Realize the truth: Chinmaya is within Mrinmaya. But you are not making any effort to realize the true nature of yours. Ash covers the neglected live ember. The live ember can be seen only when the ash is blown away. Similarly, the Atma, which is inherent in man, can be seen only when the ash of ego, anger, desire and body attachment are blown away by chanting the name of the Lord.
