Great Masters – Jesus

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE is the religion of GOD

There is only one religion in the kingdom of our Father – LOVE. Love without any conditions attached. Unconditional LOVE. Pure LOVE. There is only one criterion to reach the kingdom of our father – genuinely expressing Unconditional Love under all circumstances. The path is simplicity and purity of thought, word and action. When we operate from the level of purity and simplicity, we become innocent, like children. True children of our Supreme Father. Actually it is Ego that makes us “adults”. So, truly, ALL WE NEED IS LOVE.

LOVE expands the hearts of every being

Our ability to express Compassion and Kindness is the powerful advantage that makes us different from other beings. We can smile beautifully and laugh aloud, while the maximum any other beings on earth can do is to grin. We can genuinely express happiness. We are the most intelligent of all gross beings on earth. Being superior to other beings becomes synonymous, as our heart chakra expands and love overflows into the outer world.  When genuine compassion supersedes all other emotions, we start evolving higher and higher, into the kingdom of our father through self-less living and genuine compassion. Jesus showed us this path with His life.

LAUGH Aloud - This life is too momentary

All beings feel love. Love expands the hearts of the giver and receiver. Everyone feels good when love is expressed. Unconditional love ensures wellbeing. Man becomes a true expression of God when kindness and compassion flows from his heart to every being around him. When a man chooses to love everything and every being, irrespective of their behavior towards him, he expresses the true nature of his soul. Soul is the god-hood existing in everything gross.

Me and My father are ONE

Do’s and Don’ts do not exist in the kingdom of our Father. When every soul is one, when every soul expresses unconditional love, where is room for do’s and don’ts? There are no differences and classifications. Everyone enjoys the unconditional love and collective consciousness, of which the expression is compassion and kindness. There are no sins nor punishments. There is only deep awareness. Complete awareness of the past, present and future. There is only collective existence and, when ever necessary, unit extractions (this means collective entity gets unitized for a specific purpose; and gross body is taken to fulfill that particular set of duties, and merge back as soon as the chosen mission is perfectly accomplished. This kind of non-karmic existence is also called an Avatar). Yet, the unit remains the same as the source, just like a drop of sea water expresses all the characteristics of the mother ocean. There is perfect oneness. Total perfection.

Unconditional Love Creates Unlimited Bliss

The kingdom of our father takes birth in our consciousness first, when all dualities which our conscious mind carries cease to exist and unlimited bliss takes its place. That is heaven. When we experience that level of bliss, there can be only one mode of expression – UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. All separations that exist in our limited, conscious mind, disappear and every being becomes true expression of ourself – our SELF. In that state, we start to experience various situations through numerous bodies. There is nothing that we are not experiencing, just like our Father does. When we laugh, He is laughing. When we cry, He is crying – Father exists like our mirror image and echoes the same emotions that we express. In other words, only He exists – we do not. Everything happens within our Father. In the same way, when we become one with our father, everything happens within us too. We become fully conscious of the expression – Me and my father are ONE. True Oneness. No separation. Oneness of every being. Complete and total oneness.

Heaven and Hell are within us

Who creates heaven and hell? Who chooses heaven and hell? Who created walls? Who created conditions? Who creates religions? Who creates class differences? Who creates love and hate? MAN. All things are expressions of Man’s power of creation.  When man expressed the nature of God, inventions and innovations took place. When man chose to express the nature of negative forces within him, wars and destructions took place. Heaven and hell on earth are man’s creation. Greed and Hatred wreaked havoc while compassion and love created hope. Every life thrives on hope. Man used fear to control other men and manipulate them. Religions misinterpreted the teachings of Great Liberated Masters to control people and bind them, including fear of sin, death and punishment in hell. This even drove people to kill other men, if they did not fall in line. Intolerance, along with greed and hunger for power, landed hell on earth, and people are suffering the painful results of that, through generations. Thus, God gave us all the options. We have consistently expressed and experienced various states of existence. When greed blinded man, battles took place. Amidst agonies and sufferings, Great Masters took birth to heal the man-made wounds of the world.

We are all Chidren. We play with elements.

Man possesses, within himself, the power to experience agony and ecstasy. The agony of terrestrial existence, or the highest spiritual ecstasy of existing in the kingdom of the Father. Both are in his command. When senses and mind ruled, man chose fleeting pleasures and associated agonies, while when soul ruled the mind, man chose the path of Divine and expressed Unconditional Love. Masters came time and again to make us understand. Since we hated changes, sometimes we got fed up of them. We killed them. Masters who were beyond their bodies, never cared about their physical death. We always tend to harm those who do not harm us ever, through thoughts, words or action. This is human nature. This binds us more and more to our terrestrial existence.

Agony and Ecstasy are our own creation

I prostrate at the feet of the Great Master who told us “Unconditional Love is the Path as well as destination”. All we need is LOVE. All that we see on earth is not ours. We experience those sense objects when we are alive and leave everything  - when we die. We came to this earth empty handed. We posses many materials while we live, and leave everything behind when we leave our body. We own nothing, permanently. We are only temporary custodians of everything, including this ever changing body. In such situation, what can we fight for? What is worth fighting for? ONLY DIVINE GRACE. Bodies will come and go, while Divine Grace continues. My deepest pranaams to the great master, who kept his body only for about 33 years, but created the impact which still lasts – through generations, even though interpretations of his teachings might have suffered at the hands of time. A life well lived. A life of purity and Love. May His blessings create the same effect in all lives and may hatred and greed vanish from the face of our mother earth. May we be able to experience and express His consciousness, always. May Unconditional LOVE prevail for ever on earth, as in heaven. All we need is LOVE.

God Bless All

LOVE YOU

I love thee and respect thee, Great Master..

FAQ – About More or Less EVERYTHING

Selfless Service Purifies us Immensely

Q: What is BTW meditation for you?

A: BTW is seva (selfless service) for me. I am performing my dharma, duty, as a citizen of the universe. I am giving forth everything, unconditionally. I maintain my purity by controlling and nullifying my expectations. Through BTW meditations, I am trying to serve the society, unconditionally. I really hope it is working!!! Anyways, All those who are associated with me are doing the same. They all are doing it unconditionally. Unfortunately, spirituality is bought and sold these days. The higher the price, the more is the demand. In this scenario, we are trying to give something truly precious to the society, without any price tag. I believe thats the best one could do. I strongly believe that my spirituality is priceless. I am giving to you something priceless too. This is why profound grace flows in our meditations. Masters appear and bless everyone. The reason for the grace is lack of conditions  and supreme inner purity. Ever since we started conducting the meditation – in October 2007, we have touched many lives positively. I am deeply indebted grateful to the Almighty for that.

Inner Purity gets expressed Spontaneoulsy

Q: How can we maintain purity?

A: Purity of body can be maintained through habituating proper hygiene and cleanliness. Mind can be kept pure through devotion and attitude of gratitude. Purity of intellect can be maintained through entertaining selfless action plans. Spiritual purity is achieved when we stop comparisons and perform with detached attention. Purity will establish within, by eliminating expectations slowly and steadily. This also means accepting everyday realities as your own unconscious creation and owning each experience whether good or bad as part of your whole life process. The understanding that the food that comes to your table today is the medicine for you, even if that food is not what you probably would have voluntarily chosen. I am not saying that a vegetarian should eat non-vegetarian food if that’s what is being served. You need not compromise on your vision and dharma.  Resistance of any kind creates agony. Acceptance and adaptability to every day situations will keep you soft, supple and peaceful. You can also remain pure by making sure every thought, word and action that takes birth in you, are rooted in love and simplicity. Purity of thought, word and action happens quite automatically, if our attitude is that of selflessness. Selflessness ensures purity. Purity ensures grace. Purity is a state of mind that you automatically achieve when all your transactions are perfectly in tune with your conscience. Nevertheless, please remember that complacency and procrastination amounts to tamas. This should not be entertained at all.  Hence, do your very best, without ownership or attachments to the results of action. This will keep you pure.

Meditation is Soul's Call to Itself

Q: Who can meditate? suggested age group?

Anyone who can understand the guidance can meditate. Age has no meaning. Inclination towards meditation is good enough. Physical age has nothing to do with spiritual age. In that context, a grandchild could be much older than his grand father of this life. So, anyone who wants to meditate and can understand the guidance can meditate. Age is no bar.

Q:What position is best for meditation?

A:Any posture where spine is erect, is good enough for BTW meditations. The problem with lying down is that, you could slip into sleep. Otherwise, even lying down on a hard surface is good enough for BTW meditation, apart from sitting in sukhasana ( free cross legged posture) Padmasana (Lotus posture) or Vajrasana.

Q: Meditation and its need

A: The nature of human mind is restlessness. Through meditation, we are trying to bring the wandering conscious mind to calmness and dissolution. If a person operates on perpetual awareness level, he does not need to meditate. That means, if he operates with perfect presence of mind, or, if his mind is available with every thought, word and action, he does not need to meditate. He is perpetually on a meditative mode. He exists in the present. Maximum energy loss happens when mind oscillates between the past and the future. Past is associated with nostalgia and guilt and future is associated with anxiety. Both are unnecessary. Past is over and future is yet to be. We have to live in the present. If we create many anxieties, our future will be uncertain. If we walk with determination and purpose, with our mind steady, our future will be picture perfect. Using meditation as an escapism from some unwanted situation (or nagging wife – HA HA), is absolutely useless. Then, he is not meditating. He is just pretending. This is also same for the ritualistic meditators. This will give them no effect. Just like some people say, “oh, without the morning tea, my day is useless”, this one will say “without the morning meditation, I feel incomplete”. He has become a victim of that habit. Any habit that rules you is a hindrance to your spiritual progress. So, we need to shift our consciousness to perpetual meditation. Always be in the present. Always exist in NOW.

Greed of any kind Hinders Spiritual Growth

Q: What hinders spiritual growth?

A: Tendency to swap our own experience for other’s words hinders spirituality. Man stagnates because of constant detours.Any kind of attachment and binding also hinders spiritual growth. This includes habits too. Liberation from everything is the aim. Inorder to achieve that, we should start accepting ourselves the way we are, with all our deficiencies, pluses and minuses. We should also accept our experiences and own them and be free to express them. It does not matter even if the entire world may laugh at you and consider you as a dreamer. Your own experiences should be cherished and honored. Belief in them is essential to transcend them. This does not mean that you can develop attachment to them. You should accept them as a personal experience and keep walking further. Never care for other’s opinions about it, unless it is coming from a higher master. Once we accept ourselves, we can detach from anything. Otherwise, resistance to everything will bind us to all that we resist. This is often why we tend to stagnate. We may not know where or why we are going wrong. Look deeper, you will see that you are resisting something. You are against something. What ever we energize , stays with us. This includes relationships.

In relationships, the fear of losing invokes attachment. It creates so much bondage that we come back again to live together, through time into eternity. Familiar souls come together to exhaust their karmic vasanas. The roles change, yet they do get together. In short the emotion element attached to any thought, word and action essentially comes back as karma. The emotion element adds the incident to your check list of things to do. This keeps adding as emotions are released unconsciously by people. If we perform any thought, word or action without emotions, objectively, with mind fully with it, there will not be any backlog. A job well done and well completed. We can easily move on. Mind will not stay with it anymore. Mind will stay with you, because you have moved on. Mind will stay with your present moment. Past is well performed in the status of dharma (duty).

Money is Good. Attachment and Ego related to Money is Bad

Q: Money

A: Why do we think that money is bad? This is a wrong notion. Money is good. Money is matter. Matter is made out of energy. Elements are also matter. Our physical body is made out of elements. It is the same as money. Money is good. Emotions attached to money are bad. This includes attachment and ownership. That makes you happy or sad. Both are to be understood as bondage to money. There is a saying “If you have a handful of currency, you own it. If you have currency till your neck, it owns you”. So, be in a state where you act as a custodian of money. Be grateful for that role. Money will stay with you and will be useful to you. The moment you shift your stance and become a watchman for your wealth, you will start suffering because of the associated attachments and anxiety. Money should be considered primarily by understanding its nature. A.Money is a terrestrial transactional tool. It travels from hand to hand. Nobody owns money and we are always only a temporary custodian of money. B. If it stagnates, it loses its potential. C. Attachment to wealth creates anxiety and fear. D. Non attachment along with Gratitude for wealth creates liberation within. E. Money develops ego and if that is checked, we stay free and liberated. F. Money has no value at the time of birth, till we are of age, at the time of death and also during our sleep. G. Money enhances power and social standing. If ego, attachment and greed also grow accordingly, we will have a spiritually poor existence. If humility, compassion and grace grow with the monetary richness, we gain a lot in life. So, wise men handle money with detachment and gratitude. Ordinary people handle money with ego and pride. They remain extremely poor inside, while rich outside. They trade love for money, in other words, they fall into isolation and lack of love from the world because of their fear and anxiety of losing their wealth. The wise men, gracefully handle their money and use it for the well being of themselves, their family and the society. They will then earn love and grace from the world too. Only they are truly rich. The one who has a rich heart is the real rich man. When we are capable of bringing happiness and solace to at least  some people who are not immediately related to us, our life becomes meaningful. Otherwise, as an anxious watchman of our own wealth, our life gets wasted. Usually for such people, their next generation will waste their hard earned money. The new generation does not know the emotions behind this money. They will squander it in wild abandon. This breaks the heart of their fathers and usually they die heart-broken and helpless. What they predominantly carry to their next life will be this helplessness. The graceful rich leaves behind a legacy of selflessness to his children and they learn by the example of their father. They also learn to give. These graceful fathers die a peaceful death after a life well-lived. True happiness is in giving. Give only what you can give. But, learn to give without inhibitions and emotions. Give to the needy without any feeling of doer ship. You will stay liberated and peacefully happy.

Man Travels Through Time

Q: Chronology of Action

A: Behind every action, there is a word. Behind every word, there is a thought. Behind every thought, there is a “Vasana” ( Inclination or inherent desire). Behind every desire is the praarabda or karmic push from the past. This is the chronology of action. Karmic push – vasana – thought – word  and action.

Strength of Gunaas determine our Character

Q: Gunaas.

A:The nature based on how we act depends on our gunaas (primary qualities). The gunaas are also classified as Satwa, Rajas and Tamas. Our character is based on the nature of our gunaas – which one is relatively more predominant than the other. A rajasic man will always be hyper active and will also be subject to the swing of emotions. A satwic man will automatically start his day between 3 and 6 AM, at the time called Brahma Muhurtha, the most subtlest of all times. A man who possess predominantly tamasic nature will tend to procrastinate and indulge in addictions of intoxicants.In every one, there is a mixture of gunas. Each cocktail has degree variations. Depending on the strength of ingredients, and which guna is in predominance, determines the flavor of the man. Gunaas subtly create bondage with senses and aid our desire for sensory objects. Gunas exist in perfect balance or equanimity in the Divine Consciousness or enlightenment. This is a karma less state. Its imbalance induces karma. Everything is born out of the subtle Divine. “Prakriti” (Nature of beings) is born out of Divine. Gunaas are born out of nature.

Gunaas are Similar to Ego States

Q: Gunaas are ego states?

A: Not quite, but close. In order to understand gunaas easily, we could consider them as close to our ego states, such as Child, Adult and Parent ego state. Indeed Gunas determine our response levels, just like ego states do.

Egolessness Creates Oneness

Q: I feel so close to you, as if you are a part of our family. Even though we met recently, I feel as if I know you since ages.

A: Indeed, this is true. We all are related. We are spiritually related. Our familiarity is due to our past life connections. We have walked this path together in other lives too. I came back to serve you in your spiritual growth. Spirituality, unlike material possessions, starts from where you stopped in your last life.  The continuity is never disrupted ever. Masters will appear to guide you time and again, over lifetimes, until you merge with your father. This is the duty of masters. They appear as road signs, every time you take a detour or deviate from the main road.

This will continue…

Lots of Love

No Fear. Eternity Belongs to us

We MUST TALK because They CANNOT

Born Free - But Always in Chains!!!

 

My dear Friends

Man is quite famous for his selfishness. When our selfishness stretches to torturing other beings for our momentary pleasures – I feel this is exactly what we are famous for!!! We are famous for our insensitiveness, Sadism and cruelty.

We Torture for Pleasure and Profits

 

We torture and kill our fellow beings. We bind them and imprison them for our pleasure. We teach our children that it is fine to see a monkey in a zoo. It is fine to keep animals in cages for our pleasure. 

Imprisoned for Life - for our Pleasure!!!

 

We do scientific experiments on them without regrets or concern for their pain and inconvenience. 

Superior Intelligence of Man?

 

We skin them alive because we love to wear their skin. 

They died to protect us from cold?

 

We are so insensitive so that we never feel other’s pain or agony. But, we certainly complain if we have a small injury. Understand - The same soul operates in all. We should feel. We definitely should feel. There is no point in being emotional about it. There is no point in reading and forgetting it. If you cannot help it, atleast spread the awareness. Remind people of our true nature - WE ARE LOVE INCARNATES. 

LOVE is the essence of LIFE

 

Why do we nurture everything that is opposite to LOVE? We talk and preach about God. How can we reach God when we cannot even see God in every being? The soul element of every being is God. When the soul element leaves, we call it a dead body.We have to see God in all creatures and respect that. When we start looking at all beings as expressions of the Almighty, can we hurt any being at all? All beings collectively become the true expression of the Universe. Who gave us the authority to live the way we want and hurt every other being in one way or the other? 

We just don't have the authority to torture and kill other beings

 

We have no authority to kill or torture any beings , as they also are true expressions of the Almighty. 

http://www.ringlingbeatsanimals.com/bound-babies.asp

Maybe your voice is singular and could get dissolved in the ocean of voices of this world. But, the energy that travelled with your voice can never die or decay. It will come together with similar voices and make a change in the system, sooner or later. Hence, voice the expression. Animals are not made to feed us or entertain us.

They are killed for our sake!!!

 

They have similar emotions just like us. They feel pain and sorrow. They weep and cry. They feel deeply for their fellow beings. 

Agony due to the death of her dear ones

 

How can we treat them so insanely and so insensitively? Remember, all the beings that our mother earth nurtures are equally important to her. None are better liked than the other. We must live sensibly, sensitively and with love as our primary, secondary and our final expression. That is what we essentially are. We are incarnates of kindness, compassion. Capability to express love and kindness, in all adversities, is our actual strength. Lets remember that. 

Love You

M

Soon, we will also become a picture on the wall!!!

 

Brighter Than A Thousand Suns

Unlike the previous communications, this is written amidst many distractions of extremely busy schedules. This may lack continuity in theme and text. Hence, please bear with me. Kindly read on…..  ”DIVI  SOORYA  SAHASRASYA”- “Brighter than a thousand Suns”.

 

From Brightness, We Began

 

When we came on earth, we were brilliantly bright. However, darkness of emotions, like persistant waves, lashed on us continuously, and we forgot our real state. We started feeling limited, ordinary, and in a way, “too terrestrial”. We started looking at life as limited – as 0ne lifetime from birth till death, along with our ego identifications such as name, status, pedigree etc. Our supremely bright Father allowed us to deeply experience the darkness and confusions of terrestrial existence so that  we could clearly understand our true glory in comparison with the seeming darkness of an emotional existence. Our Father actually created the whole dual scenario for this purpose. He never interfered. Sometimes, when darkness enveloped our limited minds and ego blinded us, He himself incarnated to guide us back to our path of non-duality, to the understanding of higher unity. And everytime he did that, he wore the human body made out of elements that we are familiar with, and underwent or experienced changes, disease and decay, just as we do. Time and again, we continued taking birth after birth,rolling in ignorance of our true state. Existence was always based on relativity. Emotional expressions were based in relationships. Ego bloomed in every man and died at his physical death, only to be reborn, again and again. Through many births and related learning and purification, the urge for liberation from the endless cycle of birth and death started growing within us.  Thus, slowly and steadily, we started recognizing our true nature. With more awareness, we shifted our consciousness to our soul. Then, through the soul we saw our Father in all His brilliance – He was shining  BRIGHTER THAN A  THOUSAND SUNS!!!

 

Brighter Than a Thousand Suns

 

Time has seen many battles. Battles between countries as well as individuals. All the wars began from the inner conflict of one or more individuals. Collective inner conflicts get converted into life changing events and wars. Wars always left behind immense destruction, death and sorrows. Man’s restlessness gets reflected on our mother earth too. The more agitated mankind becomes, the more are the number of wars and natural calamities. Emotions swell into wars. External expression of violent inner conflicts are physical wars. The fight is essentially within oneself. Time creates and destroys. This is the dharma of time. Time and again we have seen complete annihilation of life, civilisation, species and thought processes. Man evolved through such experiences over life times. Civilisation without higher awareness is extremely hollow.

 

Human Mind is a Regular Battlefield

 

Let us take a look at the events that provoked Krishna to reveal His real form, the form that provoked the exclamation “Brighter than a Thousand Suns” in all those who witnessed it. The epic Mahabharata is deep and pregnant with the subtleties of human existence. When USA tested the first atomic bomb in the desert of Nevada, Robert Openheimer, the father of Atomic bomb, is said to have exclaimed using the same expression from Mahabharata upon the vision of the explosion: “Brighter Than a Thousand Suns!!!”. He was apparently well versed in Mahabharata and Gita. Man experienced cosmic brightness when raw energy was released at the dissection of atoms in a particular way, while Krishna always existed in the brightness of the Supreme. Is Science trying to reach the realm of spirituality? Can it at all?  Food for thought indeed…

Sanjaya was given the power to see beyond the darkness of his closed eyes, through cosmic vision. He could see all activities as if they are happening within himself and he could also sense the mental transactions of all those whom he chose to watch, as if it is happening to himself, within himself. Hence he could narrate everything to the blind emporer Dhritharashtra in absolute clarity and truthfulness - he became the emporer’s eyes. Sanjaya told Dhritharashtra, the father of Duryodhana and his 99 other children, that Arjuna might call it a day, even before the battle of Kurukshetra began. Arjuna became terribly emotional and assumed responsibility of all his future actions as the war was proceeding. Emotion had drained his energy and will-power completely. He was confused. He was suffering from guilt over violence that he would perhaps commit in the future. He was confusing between karma and dharma. Darkness of ignorance was shrouding his clarity and vision. He became completely depressed and mentally paralyzed.

Dhritharashtra, the blind father, was relieved. At least for a moment he hoped that the war may not take place at all. He expressed his emotion with a sigh of relief. “After all, the war is between cousins. It might be possible that Arjuna’s dilemma could make his brother’s sons reconsider a truce”, Dhritharashtra thought. ” The truce was possible only if one surrenders unconditionally. Truce based on equality was out of question. And truce was possible only if Pandavas surrendered without conditions. Well, it could clearly be wishful thinking. Yet, never too late for anything. Wars always wreaked havoc. Destruction and associated sorrows are bound to happen in some camps. It is always better to avoid wars. Man’s greed and ego created wars. Wisdom of higher beings created peace. Wars and Peace are played time after time to cleanse and re build. Mounting ego always ended up in conflicts. Peace lies in non- resistance and acceptance of existence as it is. Who could do that? Ordinary mortals cannot. Only higher wisdom establishes beingness. Only beingness breeds equanimity. Only equanimity over happiness and sorrow provides non-resistence and liberation. Not easy. Not easy at all. Forget it. Let us be practical. Lets talk business. Eh?”.  The emporer shut his blind eyes once again.

 

Battles Breed Emotions, Loss and Immense Sorrows

 

Dhritharashtra mused: “Krishna is the problem. The real problem. It is His presence that was giving strength to the Pandavas to wage a war against the mighty Kauravas. By any standards, they are not a match at all, to the might of Kauravas. Five men against a hundred plus hundred fold!!! But this one man – Krishna – He is intelligent. He made the difference. He had the capacity to change any situation to his or the Pandava’s advantage. History might name Krishna as the best politician the world has ever seen. When Duryodhana was given the choice of the entire Yadava army and an unarmed Krishna, he chose the brawn instead of the brain. Even I thought his decision was right indeed. Size matters. Might matters. It could easily distract and dis-hearten any weak enemy.What we needed was the physical might of more men on our side.”  Unarmed Krishna became the ally of Pandavas, the other side in this battle. Even  Dhritharashtra thought, at that time, “What can an unarmed Krishna do against the might of his children and their equivalent army?” Now, even before the battle began, it seemed that the wind was favorable to his children, especially since the best Pandava warrior was in problem. A mighty big problem. Agony of guilt and emotions over relationships. To top it all up, ownership over possible future actions!!!. Dhritharashtra pondered: “How will Krishna handle this situation amidst a battlefield where both armies are rearing to go? Wait!!! He is intelligent and cunning. He cannot be under-estimated!!!.If only someone ‘took care’ of this charioteer  Krishna.!!!”

Krishna brought up the understanding level of Arjuna, effortlessly, in the battlefield, amidst the two armies. In the middle of the battlefield, Krishna expounded the Gita. The Bhagawat Gita. The essence of all Upanishads.What a place or location to convey the ultimate truths of existence!!! Krishna chose a battlefield, a tense war zone, to convey the complete essence of all upanishads to a depressed man; and He made sure his student understood it all and brought Arjuna back to the war.!!! That was Krishna. The Mighty Avatar!!!

 

To Destroy Adharma and Uplift the Dharma, I "Happen"again and again

 

Situations never mattered. Krishna was a complete Avatar. He could perform his dharma with perfect balance of mind, at anytime, what ever the situation may be. Nothing mattered to this powerful master. He raised Arjuna to the awareness level of enlightenment and put him in the track of Dharma, completely nullifying the emotions related to karmic relationships. For an ordinary individual, this would have been a Herculian task. For Krishna, the avatar, it was simple and clear. And while at it, He even elevated Arjuna’s levels to comprehend the state of God realization, where the past, the present and the future existed on one plane and time stood still, with inner eyes well fixed on cosmic glory and brilliance, Arjuna experienced the cosmic bliss. Sat Chit Ananda.

 

Cosmic Brliiance is Truly Inexplainable

 

Sanjaya, who was given the eyes to see the battle and report it, from where he sat, almost like our current TV coverage, but only with more honesty and truthfulness, explained what he saw to the blind Dhritarashtra who asked: “Sanjaya, please explain to me the real form (Viswa Roopa) of Krishna”. Raptured with supreme bliss, Sanjaya replied: “Brighter than a Thousand Suns!”

The glory of the true form of Krishna was never explainable in terms of words, because verbal explanations are too limited. This phenomenon was truly beyond any kind of explanation. Arjuna saw all the people whom he was supposed to kill in the war, already dead and going through the huge mouth of time, which was displayed within Krishna’s true form. The true form of Krishna was all encompassing. All that happened in the past, all that is happening in the present, and all that will happen in the future was seen simultaneously in that form. There was no past, present and future as parellel to time, the way our conscious mind can recognise. Everything existed at once. The brightness was blinding, yet soothing. It was indeed like a thousand suns coming together, yet, soothingly cool. This is the nature of Parabrahma. This is our true nature. We too get to see it when we go beyond the darkness of our closed eyes. The brightness beyond the darkness of ignorance and identifications.

Krishna had displayed His true form once earlier, when the Kauravas decided to arrest Krishna, as he appeared in their royal court, in the role of the messenger of Pandavas. When he showed them his true form, most of the people assembled there could not see it as they were blinded by His brilliance. Only those who were truly innocent and pure, saw the glory of the Lord. They were very few. Those who see the glory of God in everything are very few, sadly even now .

Now, Arjuna was specially empowered by Krishna to see this glory in the battlefield called Kurukshetra. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him. Even lifetimes of spiritual practices cannot take one to the capacity of witnessing cosmic brilliance even once. It is something so elusive from our level of gross. Once we have experienced the cosmic brilliance, terrestrial illumination will seem far inferior. Once we experience the ”ananda” or bliss state of liberated awareness, terrestrial emotions will seem unworthy. Only love will exist. Only compassion will express itself through us. Again, who gets the eligibility to enjoy the proximity of a Master like Krishna? Only the Master can choose His disciple.  The Master chooses those who are eligible to see him, feel him and recognize him. Others will look, but can never see. Some cannot even reach the Master. One needs to have clarity of purpose, of his own existence. Then, he will easily recognise the Master. True Masters behave in the most ordinary way, and they will never display their enlightenment. It is not easy to recognize a Master, unless he chose to show himself and you choose to elevate yourself to recognise Him. Faith is the key. Devotion and Patience are the two legs that will take you there.

The Epic battle took place. Arjuna’s army won the war, of course, with the GRACE OF KRISHNA. Both sides lost many men, horses, elephants and wealth. Arjuna was quite elated as well as proud and egoistic, which is natural for any victor. ( We always own our achievements and blame others for our failures Isn’t that true?) After the war, Krishna, his charioteer, drove the chariot to their camp and told Arjuna quite unceremoniously – ” Get Down”. Usually, the charioteer will get down first and open the door for the elite passenger. Arjuna waited for Krishna to do so. Again, Krishna continued to sit in his seat and said ” Get down”. Arjuna still waited, hoping that Krishna would remember the courtesy. He did not. A third time Krishna said, Arjuna alighted from the chariot, quite unwillingly and a bit disappointed. Krishna let loose the horses and jumped out of the chariot. Suddenly, Arjuna saw the chariot catching fire and the fire consumed the chariot in no time. Fire swallowed the chariot in front of his own eyes and Arjuna witnessed this in utter amazement and disbelief. Arjuna was truly astonished. He was humbled when he thought what his fate would have been, if Krishna allowed him to stay and jumped out of the chariot first. The fire would have consumed him too!!!. He realised: ” Great Masters operate from the plane of higher consciousness, understanding and awareness. Ordinary humans cannot fathom that. Hence, it is wise to leave them on their own and obey what they say, without arguing within or externally, or even analyzing it with our highly conditioned and limited intellect. There is always a higher purpose, in the realms of true Masters, and they are always aware of that.” All of us are brightness incarnates and All Great Masters are always living that brightness. If we confuse ourselves by looking at their finite body or the way they behave in the society, we lose an opportunity of a lifetime. They lose nothing, because they have no expectations.

I conclude this with my humblest, deepest prostrations at the feet of the Great Master, Lord Krishna. He gave so much wisdom to the world which transcended generations. He incarnated to uplift dharma and eliminate adharma. Annihilation was his method. What we could possibly know about Krishna is probably a pebble compared to the mighty ocean that he truly is. Generations will come and go. The message that Krishna expounded will exist for ever.

“Krishnam Vande Jagat Gurum” ( I prostrate to the Universal Master Krishna)

“Kaayena Vaacha, Manasendriyaiva, Buddhaytmanaavat, Prakrite Swabhaavat, Karomi Yadyat Sakalam Parasmei, Sree Naraayanayeti, Samarpayami.” (I offer all my vasanas, every thought, every word and every action at the lotus feet of Lord Sree Krishna, The Maha Guru, the Universal Master).

Love You Always
