Every beginning comes with an
ending, every Sun raise comes with a Sunset, and every birth comes with a
death. Everything has 2 sides as created by the creator. If there is a high,
there is a low; if there is a dark, there is a light; if there is ignorance,
there is knowledge. That’s the law of nature. We may not realize that but we
cannot deny that.
So considering this, there will
be a day when I need to give back everything which I have accumulated. Of
course all of the things which I have and I am claiming as owner are just my accumulation
and nothing else. Neither I have created any of them nor I am owning that
completely. This is a game of time, which I am playing. They were not mine and
for now they belong to me and someday will come, irrespective of I want or not,
they will go back. They includes all my properties & emotions, relations &
relative, information & mind, including the whole body. Only thing which is
unknown till now is When is that D day. That’s the goal of this game. If
mankind would have known that, they would have lived entirely a different life
then the current life. They should have played the game entirely different then
they are playing today.
In this earth everyday night,
millions of people go to bed, out of them thousands people do not get up. May
be some of them have lived enough or some of them early goer. Everyday millions
of people go out of their home and there are thousands who never come back to
their home alive. This is not the instance of one particular day but the fact
of everyday. We are the only set of most fortunate people who are still not out.
Still there are fortunate people whose relatives/near/dear are also not out. So
When we get up in the morning, that itself is a bliss and sign of
fortunate. Also when we get up in the morning and come to know that all our
side people also wake up with us, then it is fact of delight. But still we all agree
that the day will come when we will go with that thousands number and not in
millions.
So once I make sure that I am
fortunate as well as delight as I got up in the morning and came to know that
all my near dears are also there, what should I do till I go to bed and join a
period of uncertainty? Is not it worth thinking about. Should I accumulate more
and more? Accumulate more money, more people, more fun, and more miseries? If I
have to leave them, then what is the point accumulating them? If there is no
point accumulating things, then Is not it important to know the real game? Is
not it important to know the truth behind all these? This is for all of you to
have a deep thought on this.
I have decided mine. I understood
that the whole world, even the whole universe, even the whole cosmos are not
many as they appear but there are just one. Left hand may think that there are
2 hands but for the complete body; all the body parts are not many but just a
single unit, the same body. But till the point we are identified with a small
part of this universe we cannot see the oneness. To experience the oneness, we
need to be the feelings of the whole cosmos. Such a kind of concept is not digestible
to the mind. Because it has own us completely, acquired us, covered us fully.
Being a lateral entry in our body, still mind claims all possession. Yes, when
we born, we never felt the presences of our mind, when we passed our entire
childhood days we never got acquired by our mind. Slowly we accumulated
emotions & information, worldly material possession and sensual comfortless,
relative identity and false dignity. Mind started assuming that, all the accumulations
are nothing but me, it keeps growing with the same kind of ignorance and I am
here. So If I try to experience the whole cosmos using this mind then it is
quite impossible. A farmer is farming on his land and decades after it is
discovered that there is a goldmines below the land. Farmer has no idea as his
business is just in the surface of that land. So is the case when I try to understand
the feelings of oneness using my mind? So solution is going beyond the mind.
Is it possible to go beyond the
mind? When I enquired about this then I got to know that, “Yes, it is very much
possible”. The first step is to make the mind silenced. Mind is an ever moving ever
talking, ever listening, every sensing entity. It never stops, not even when
body sleeps. Then how to Silence the mind?
Further enquiry leads me to a sloka in Gita
असंशयं महाबाहो,मनो दुर्निग्रहं चलम् |
अभ्यासेन तु कौन्तेय, वैराग्येण च गृह्यते ||
Meaning: O mighty-armed son of
Kunti, it is undoubtedly very difficult to curb the restless mind, but it is
possible by constant practice and by detachment.
So life itself is a Yoga. Yoga is
union. We need to be very careful with
which we are united, if it is with ignorance, if it is with unreal, if it is
with darkness then we need to detach from there. That can be achieved by
uniting to the truth, uniting to the knowledge and uniting to the light. So
true life is all about practising this transformations. True life is all about
living to realise “Aham bramhasmi”. It
is realising that “I am not a human being trying to have divine experience, but
I am a divine being trying to have a human experience”
So Do before you die!!
Nice write up with a deep thought process.
