 Most of Indians might have read the panchatantra stories in the childhood, one such story am sharing here.

Once upon a time, there lived a sage. The sage used to go to the river everyday to pray. One day, while the sage was praying in the river, an eagle flying above him dropped a mouse that it had caught as prey. When the sage opened his eyes, he found the little mouse in his hands. He took the mouse home and showed it to his wife. Since the sage and his wife did not have any children, they decided to keep the mouse as a child. The sage, with his extraordinary powers, changed the little she-mouse into a pretty girl child. The sage and his wife brought up the girl like their own daughter.

When the girl grew up into a beautiful young lady, the sage decided that it was time to get her married. He thought that the Sun God would be a suitable match for his daughter. So, the sage prayed to the Sun God and asked him to marry his daughter. But the Sun God said, “I am sorry,e reduced to ashes.” The sage was disappointed. He asked the Sun God to suggest another groom for his daughter. The Sun God replied that the Lord of the Clouds would be a suitable match for the sage’s daughter because a cloud can easily stop the sun’s light and can reduce its heat.

So, the sage prayed to the Lord of the Clouds and asked him to marry the girl. But the girl rejected the Lord of the Clouds saying that she did not want to marry someone as dark as him and also that she was scared of the thunder that he produced. Again, the sage was upset and asked the Lord of the Clouds to suggest a groom for his daughter. The Lord of the clouds said, “You should get your daughter married to the Lord of the Wind as he can easily blow me away.”

The sage then prayed to the Lord of the Wind to appear and asked him to marry his daughter. But the daughter rejected him too, saying, “Oh Father, I cannot marry someone as feeble as him. And he doesn’t stay in one place—he is always moving about.” Dejected, the sage asked the Lord of the Wind for advice. The Lord of the Wind suggested that the Lord of the Mountain would be a suitable groom for the sage’s daughter since he could stop the wind easily.

So, the sage went to the Lord of the Mountain and requested him to get married to his daughter. But, the daughter did not want to accept him as her groom. She said, “He is so cold-hearted. Please, father, can’t you find someone softer?” Now, the sage did not know whom to go to. He could not think of any more suitable grooms for his daughter. He requested the Lord of the Mountain to suggest a groom. The Lord of the Mountain said, “A mouse will be a suitable match for your daughter because he is soft, but he can still make holes in a mountain easily.”

This time, the sage’s daughter was happy with the match. “I would like to marry a mouse very much, Father,” she said. The sage was happy and said, “That’s destiny, my child! You began your life as a mouse and you were destined to marry a mouse.” He turned the girl back into a mouse. She was married to a nice, suitable mouse and they lived happily ever after.

Most of the people tell the morale as - Destiny can't be changed.

My conclusion to this story : The core thinking (संस्कार)of any individual never changes, even if we try to transform by various tactical and strategical ways it wont, our saints and scriptures suggest that until and unless you resolve those samskaras been formed over period of so many million birth take place over that pure consciousness it wont resolve, the web of past karmas would continue to dominate your life and lead to a pattern of cycle or  (भवसागर).संस्कार >विचार >कर्म 
और कर्म >फल >संस्कार >विचार।
should we interfere with this pattern? 
Answer is given in bible let see this

Parable of tares - Mathew 13

  Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Farmer went to field was all right, seed was also alright,but when disciple was not watchful and cautious, his enemy came, he was allured the mind,by the tempting by the negative power, and what did he do, he sowed tares among the wheat. It means mind started tempting him, Mind also become active, because Satan does not want soul escape from clutches of birth and dearth(pattern) to eave his domain and go back to heavenly Father . so Satan also took opportunity to sow seed among the good seed in the Fertile ground.

Naturally when other disciples saw this tares going amongst the wheat, They take pity on that disciple, He was loving, so good, so faithful , And yet he has become victim of weakness and cannot leave the sensual pleasures.(satan), they ask from where these tares came, from where these disturbance came, He said Enemy has done this, the mind has done this it become active and has induced him to indulge into sensual pleasures.Than disciples seek his permission to explain to him that bad diciple whose mind deviated, whose mind got immersed into sensual pleasures, to reinstate meditation to him But than Jesus said " NO don't do that, If you try to uproot the weeds from the field, you are also likely to shake or uproot the real crop, because they are both growing together, you may offend him, he may give up the goodness which was sown in him also get shake.

he says let him continue what he is doing, At the time of harvest, all the weeds which have been sown in the field will be gathered first. They will picked out one by one burned.. let them grow together, at the time of death, I will help to burn all the sins which he has committed, whatever is in the balance will be to his credit.

Thus here master explains that we shouldn't interfere the pattern, master himself will take care.

Another e.g is in Shiva purana when parvati and shiva on an excursion found a injured snake, parvati felt deep compassion and show mercy on that snake, treat to make it all right, snake was filled with gratitude so it started to live with them, where ever they go snake also followed, but as it was snake it crawls it used to take lots of time to travel, hence parvati requested shiva to change this poor creature into some bird a crow so that it can fly in the sky freely, but shiva dis agreed saying it is against nature principle, but in front of shakti, he couldn't do anything he agreed this snake converted into crow now, it now fly much better than snake, but after some time parvati saw the poor creature cant fly enough high , its wings also small, and the crow as full of love and bhakti towards parvati, so she again requested to change it into Hamsa, highest elite bird so that it can follow them as family member , now this Hamsa become part of the family they travel long distances, high altitudes they were happy, but Hamsa was not happy, as it was alone, shiva -parvati were having good time but hamsa was alone, again parvati shown mercy and requested to Shiva to get married this hamsa to hamsini, but Shiva got disturbed with her request as he know the consequences but parvati pleaded and was stubborn to make her married , shiva explain that this will bring distruction understand, but she didn't paid ear to his words and make him finally agree to marry to beautiful hamsini. Now they got married, parvati was very happy , and her pet snake turned crow turned hamsa was also happy, when there were alone and they mated at the touch of this snake turned hamsa's poison entered into hamsini and immediately died.

This parable also tells us that the core of any individual never changes, it remains same always, hence it is not our jurisdiction to interfere  with it, it is the Master or Satguru (who is directly be one with Holy Ghost) can only resolved those samskaras not bonded humans. what is in our hand is to pray and do Good conduct, that is only we can do, that is only choice we have.(purusharth)

There fore accept who you are , where you are, what you are, and exercise(practice) each day the things Heavenly God permitted to do, and discard all those which are not permitted, don't interfere in Nature, don't try to change other people, or their samskars , let do our work and pray, every one should know their own truth.Each and every has to return to supreme reality one day, but the ways do we take would certainly differnt as we did the deeds in different way. Lets leave to the God do his own work and in his ways, what is my swadharma (individual Duty) , I should always remember and execute it.

वास्तव मे प्रत्यक्ष को प्रमाण कि आवश्यकता नहीं है । पर क्या यह "प्रत्यक्ष " हमें प्रत्यक्ष जान पड़ता है। क्यों नहीं जान पड़ रहा है?  इसके कई कारण हो सकते है, लेकिन यहाँ पर श्री मद भगवद्गीता का श्लोक -१६:१८ में कृष्ण माहराज कह रहे है -

 अहंकारं बलं दर्पं कामं क्रोधं च संश्रिताः 

मामात्मपरदेहेषु प्रदविशन्तो अभ्यसूयकाः।

वे अहंकार ,बल घमण्ड ,कामना  और क्रोध आदि के परायण और दूसरों के निंदा करनेवाले पुरुष अपने और दूसरो के स्थित मुझ अन्तरयामी से द्वेष करने वाले होते है। 

Bewildered by 1) false ego, 2) strength, 3) pride, 4) lust and 5) anger, the demon becomes envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is situated in his own body and in the bodies of others, and blasphemes against the real religion.

साधारण से दिखने वाले यह गुरूजी कि किताबो में गूढ़ से अति गूढ रहस्य बहुत साधारण भाषा में कहगाये है। मुझे याद आता है  जब एक दिन हम (मैं , नीरज और अंकलजी ) शाहपुरा आश्रम पहुंचे , पहुँचने के साथ ही मैंने अपनी एक जिज्ञासा उनके सामने रखी  कि आप में और मुझ में क्या फर्ख है. उन्होंने ने तुरंत जवाब दिया " कुछ भी  नहीं"। मै मौन रहा और आदतन  थोड़ी देर बाद मैने फिर उनसे कहा आप, आप है; मैं क्या हूँ कुछ भी नहीं यह  कैसे हो सकता है कि एक हो , कुछ तोह फर्ख  होगा ही , हम सब अलग -अलग है , ऐसा दिख ही  रहा है , है न। फिर जो कुछ उन्होंने समझाया वह इस प्रकार है। किताब पीयूष कि धारा  मरूस्थल में- मेरे किये है भरम सब दूर में छेः बातें पढ़वाया। जो कि निम्न है। 

१. मैं जीव अर्थात एक रचना हूँ  (I am jeeva and I have been created)

२. शरीर आत्मा है, मैं शरीर हूँ। (Body is soul, I am body)

३. परमात्मा विश्व (जगत औऱ जीवन) भिन्न भिन्न है (God & world is different)

४. मै परमात्मा नहीं हूँ। (I am not God)

५. नहीं जानते कि शरीर आत्मा नहीं है। (Not knowing that body is not soul)

६. नहीं जानते कि परमात्मा , जगत और जीव एक या वाही है। (Not knowing that God, world, jiva are one and same)

यहाँ पर येही दर्शाने का प्रयत्न किया जा रहा है कि जब तक प्राणी मात्र से यह भूले नहीं मिटेंगी तब तक व यह नहीं समझ पायेगा कि परमात्मा , जगत ,जीव और शरीर क्या है? 

प्रश्न यह उठता है कि जब जीव सबको जांनने  वाला जनैया है अर्थात  स्वयं ही ज्ञान मूर्ती है , तो उसको ज्ञान कि क्या आवशयकता है। 

निराकरण : संतमत( Sant Mat) के आधार पर  - जीव को ज्ञान तो है पर बाहरी इन्द्रियो के आघात के कारण आक्षेप जैसे त्रुटियां ,भूल और अनभिज्ञतायें आ जाती है। जिन्हे सतगुरु द्वारा परखकर निज स्वरुप (चेतन) दर्शाया जाता है। (यहाँ आघात ,त्रुटियां ,भूल अनभिज्ञतायें गीता के १६:१८ से समझ सकते है  )

इसको और समझने के लिए मै  यहाँ पर महराज सवनसिंह (राधास्वामी सत्संग ) कि बातों का उल्लेख कर रहा हूँ,  सावनसिंह  महराज कह रहे है

 झीनी  सुरत  रूप  नहीं  दरसे , परसे   शब्द  जाये  मन  घर  से।

 रूह(soul) हमारा रूप देखना चाहती है - वह कैसी है ;हम शरीर नहीं है  ,हम मन भी नहीं है , हम रूह है , जिस प्रकार किसी  प्रकाशमान लैम्प को  ऊपर टाट के परदे से ढक दें और एक अँधेरे कमरे में  लेकर जयें , तो अँधेरा दूर नहीं होगा, पर ज्यों -ज्यों परदे उतरते जायेंगे रौशनी कि किरणे छन -छन कर बहार आने लगेंगी, और कमरा प्रकाश से भर जायेगा। जब सभी परदे उतर जायेंगे ,लैम्प अपनी पूरी रौशनी में प्रकट हो जायेगा , ठीक इसी प्रकार हमारे रूह  पर परदे चढ़े हुए है। 

पहला स्थूल शरीर इसके अंदर सूक्ष्म और उसके अंदर कारण शरीर है फिर आग, हवा, मिटटी, पानी, आकाश (५ तत्व ), राजो, तमो, सतो (३ गुण )पच्चीस प्रकृतियों ,काम,क्रोध ,लोभ ,मोह ,अहंकार और मन के आवरण चढ़े हुए है हम अपना रूप नहीं देख पा रहे है । 

इस स्तिथि के अनुभवी मौलाना रुमी साहेब कहते है 

ता  तुई  के  यार  गरदद  यारे  तू 

ताना  बाशी  यार  बशद  यारे   तू 

जब तक तू कहता है " मै हूं " तब तक तेरा यार नहीं बनता जब " मै " छोड देगा  तो वोह तेरा यार बन जायेगा। 

कबीर साहेब कहते है 

जब  लग  मेरी  मेरी  करें।  तब  लागु  काजु  एकु  नहीं  सरै.

जब  मेरी  मेरी  मिटि  जाई। तब  प्रभ  काज  सवारहि   आई। 

मालिक अंदर है , उसे कहीं बहार से नहीं आना  है। जब यह "मै" "मै "करना छोड़ देगा , वह अंदर प्रकट हो जायेगा। 

इस तरह हम जान सकते है कि हम अलग अलग नहीं अपितु द्वैत के कारण , हमें अलग अलग नज़र आता  है , और जैसे १६-१८ में कहा है कि वोह आसुरी तत्व कभी भी उस परमेश्वर(आत्मा)  हमारे ही भीतर बसे हुए दिल दार से मिलने नहीं देते ,बल्कि उस दिलदार से जलते भी है , जलते है इसीलिए हमें उनसे  मिलने से भी रोकते  है; चारो गली बंद करके। हमारे ऊपर कई.पट्टिया है।परत दर परत खुल गई तोह हम सब एक ही है.

उन्होंने कभी अलग नहीं समझा क्यों कि वोह सत्य के ज्ञाता  है ,पूर्ण है , हम ही भटके हुए मानव हैं। अपना घर हमेशा दुसरो के मोहल्ले में ढूंढ रहे हैं।

मजेदार बात यह है कि उसरात मैंने पढा, लेकिन कुछ समझ नहीं आया , और पूछता तो एक और  लम्बा लेख पढना होता इसलिए चुप रहा, (तब ऍसा ही सोचते थे ) रात  गयी बात गयी। हम गुरूजी को भूल जाते है लेकिन वो कभी नहीं भूलते। वो किसी न किसी रूप में हमारी जिज्ञासा को शांत कर ही देते है। इतने सालो बाद जो कुछ वो कह रहे है , अब वो इतना अद्भुत लगरहा है। और वो कौनसी आसुरी तत्व थे  जो हमको रोकते है वो भी समझ आने लगे ,  वह इस प्रकार है-

 गुरूजी अपनी वाणी में कह रहे है प्यारे भाईयों और बहिनों हमे कुछ भी नहीं बनना है ,क्यों कि कुछ बनना ही भ्रम पैदा करता है , इसलिए जैसे के तैसे रहो (Be like what you are in REAL NATURE not apparent nature). पदार्थ पद में से बनकर मूल को भूल जाता है। (Light is trapped in the matter) सद्गुरु कि शरण में जाकर अपने पद अर्थात निज स्वररूप को जानो, जो नित्य (Everlasting ) और पूर्ण (complete) है। कहना का आशय यह है कि तुम भी पूर्ण सर्वशक्तिमान जगत हो , अंतर केवल पहचान का है।

देखा कितने सरल तारीखे से गहरी बातो को कह दिया है। केवल पहचान का है , हम सब  एक ही है , पर केवल अहंकार , बल ,घमंड, कामना और क्रोध के कारण हमारे अंतर स्तिथ परमात्मा कि पहचान नहीं  हो पा रही है। अगर पह्चानना  हो तो सत्संग और सत्संग कि शरण जा कर पहचानना होगा। सत्संग हमें  येही सिखाता है कि हम सब एक है और एक साथ कदम बढाके  चलना है,  सद्गुरु के शरण में जाकर , समर्पण कर। भ्रम के जाल से मुक्ति होकर प्रतक्ष को बोध स्वरुप जान लेना है। हम  सब सद्गुरु के ही बच्चे है , बिलकुल भी अलग नहीं है। और संचित कर्मो का नाश करने में हमारी मदद करते है। हम अपने कर्मो का दाम दे ,सदाचार ,शील ,करुणा ,न्याय  अपना कर ,अध्यात्मिक संयम का पालन करें। और सदा चित उनके लारे से लगाये रखे / रहे। 
जब तक हम  मानते रहेंगे , जानते नहीं तब तक प्रमाण मांगते रहेंगे ,जब हम जानजायेंगे , उसका प्रमाण कैसा?

 गुरूजी कहते है-  ध्यान में रखने वाली बात इतनी है कि - दो सब (Give away) जिसके लिए वो कहता है , और उन वस्तुओ को प्राप्त (Receive) करो जिसके लिए उसने वचन दिया है। 

"I don't ask that he must prove

His word is true to me

And that before let me see

it is enough for me to know

it is true because he says it's so.

on his unchanging word, I will stand

And trust till I can understand."

 गुरु बिन भ्रम न भागे भाई , कोटि उपाय करै चतुराई 

गुरु बिन होम यज्ञ जो साधे , और मन दस पातक बाँधे । 

गुरु के चरण सदा चित दीजे , जीवन जनम सफल कर लीजे 

गुरु के चरण सदा चित जाना ,  क्यों भूले तुम चतुर सुजाना। 

* * * 

"हमारी प्रार्थनाएं भले ही असफल हो जावे ,(उन पानी कि फव्वारों को कूप से ऊपर लेन में ) परन्तु उसकी महिमा में जो गान गए जायेंगे वे कभी भी असफल न होंगे , क्योंकि प्रभु को कुछ नहीं चाहिए , सिवाये महिमा के , व हमेशा तुम्हे तुम्हारे सुकृत्यों के लिए ताज पहनायेगा क्यों कि तुम्हारे किये गए सुकृत ही उसकी महिमा है। 

उसके कार्यों जो उसने हमारे लिए किये  उस हेतु धन्यवाद् दो" …पियूष कि धरा मरूस्थल में।

What is the actual relationship in our daily life with each other?

Source : jiddu-krishnamurti-1st-public-talk

What is relationship? What does it mean to be related to another? This is very important to find out, not to avoid, not to escape, but to find out actually what it means to have a relationship with another - at the physical level, sexually, psychological level, emotional level, intellectual level and at the level of what one calls love. And if that whole nature and structure of relationship is not understood, lived daily - please listen to this - if that relationship is not clear to go and meditate is utterly infantile, it has no meaning because this is the basis of life, then meditation merely becomes a futile, infantile escape. And in this country, the gurus and all the business, the transcendental meditation and all that, becomes utter stupid nonsense unless you establish right relationship between you and another, that being the very basis of existence, trying to meditate becomes an evasion of the actual. Therefore leads to all kinds of neurotic, destructive results. Right?

You know the speaker has faced this problem of meditation and the gurus for the last fifty years. It is not prejudice but in matters of spirit there is no leader and taught, therefore no authority, no guru. It is the authority that has destroyed the investigation and the discovery of what is truth.

So: what is relationship? What is the actual relationship in our daily life with each other? If you examine it very closely, and are not afraid, what is taking place? You have an image about yourself, first, don't you? A picture, an idea, a concept of yourself, and the person you are related to has his concept, or her concept, her image, her picture about herself. Right? Please you are looking at yourself, you are not merely listening to these words. Words are a mirror, and the mirror becomes useless when you are looking at yourself actually. So you and the other, man and woman, boy or girl or husband, wife and so on and so on, each human being has a picture, an image, a conclusion, an idea about oneself, about themselves. If you have lived with another for a week, or a hundred weeks, you have made a picture of the other, and the other has made a picture of you, That is a fact, isn't it? No? Are you afraid to look at that picture? That picture has been built through many days, many years, many incidents, nagging, pleasure, comfort, fear, domination, possession, attachment and so on and so on and so on. Each one has an image of the other, and the other has an image of the other person. That is an actuality, isn't it? And you call that relationship. That is, relationship between the two pictures, between the two images. Right? You are not agreeing with the speaker. You are looking at the fact. These pictures or images or conclusions are memories, memories which you have put together, stored up in the brain, and reacting to each other according to those images. You have been hurt, and that hurt is a memory, stored up in the brain, and that reacts. So our relationship is not actual but memorial. Do you understand what I am saying? If one is married you have built a picture about your wife, and the wife has built a picture, an image about you. Those pictures, those images are the nagging, the casual remarks, the hurts, the pleasure, the comfort, the sexual memories, all that. And the relationship is between these two verbal pictures in memory, not actual. I think you have got to understand this. And therefore there is always division and conflict. For instance, you have been hurt in this relationship. The hurt is, the image you have built about yourself has been hurt. Right? Can we go on?

I wonder if you are actually observing it in yourself, or listening to the speaker and agreeing with the speaker? Do you understand? They are two different facts. Either you are agreeing with the speaker and therefore that has very little significance. Or you are actually seeing that you have built an image about yourself, and that hurt exists because of that image. Understood?

So in this relationship of human beings the hurt has taken place. The image has been hurt. Unless you heal that image totally there must always be conflict. Right? There is the past hurts and you may receive further hurts. So there are two problems. Right? The one is that you have been hurt in the past and unfortunately this happens from childhood, in the school, in college, at home, university, right through life one is hurt. And because one is hurt one builds a wall around oneself to resist, not to be hurt any more. And having built a wall round oneself division takes place. Right? And you may say, 'I love you' but it is just words because a division exists. Right? So is it possible - please listen - is it possible not to be hurt at all? Which doesn't mean build a wall of resistance so that nothing can touch you, but to live without resistance which means never to be hurt. You understand? You know what it means to be hurt? When the child is compared with another, that is a hurt. Any form of comparison is to hurt another. Any form of imitation, conformity, is to hurt another, not only verbally but deeply. And when one is hurt, out of that hurt there is violence. So the problem is: is it possible never to be hurt? And having been hurt how to deal with the past hurts. And how to prevent future hurts. You have understood the problem? So we will find out.

When you say, 'I am hurt' what is this me that is hurt? You say, 'You have hurt me' - by your word, by a gesture, by discourtesy and so on and so on. What is hurt? Is it not the image that you have built about yourself? Please do look at it. That image is one of the factors which society, education and environment has built in you. You are that picture, that image, the name, the form, the characteristic, the idiosyncrasy and so on. All that is you, the picture, the image which you are. And that image has been hurt. You have a conclusion about yourself, that you are this or that, and when that conclusion is disturbed you are hurt. You are following all this? So can you live without a conclusion, without a picture, without an image about yourself? As long as you have an image about yourself you are everlastingly hurt. You may resist it, you may build a wall round yourself but when there is a wall around yourself, when you withdraw there is a division, and where there is a division there must be conflict. Like the Arab and the Jew, the Hindu, the Muslim, the Communist and the non-Communist - you follow? Where there is a division it is the law, there must be conflict.

So: is it possible not to be hurt at all? That is to have an innocent mind. The word 'innocent' in Latin and so on means a mind that is incapable of being hurt. And this is very important to find out if one can live in daily life, not to go off into some monastery or in some community, limit your - you know, all agreeing together, becoming mushy and sentimental and all that business - but actually in daily life to find out if you can live without an image, and therefore never to be hurt. We are going to find out. We are going to examine whether it is possible to live that way. Which means never to have conflict, never to have this division, psychological division - there is a division between you and me, tall, short, brown, white, black and so on and so on, but the psychological division.

So first to be aware that one has this image. Not to rationalize it, not to say it is inevitable, we must have it, otherwise what would happen, if I don't have an image about myself how can I live in this world when everybody around me has images, they will destroy me. Those are all excuses. But to find out whether it is possible without a single image. Because the image is the Arab, the image is the Jew - do you understand this? And therefore there is eternal war. When I have an image about myself and that is hurt and my wife has an image about herself she is hurt, how can we have any kind of relationship? So is it possible not to have an image, which means not to be hurt? One has been hurt in the past, one has resisted it, built a wall round oneself, frightened not to be hurt any more, and there may be future hurts and therefore withdrawal, isolation.

Now how will you deal with the past hurts? Please follow all this. Will you analyse them? Do you understand? Analyse why you have been hurt, what are the causes of your hurt, who has hurt you, you know, go into it analytically. Again look at the analytical tradition: we have accepted analysis as part of our life. Right? If you cannot analyse yourself you go to the professional. What is the process of analysis? There is the analyser and the analysed. Right? See the division already. Are you following all this? I hope you are otherwise it is a waste, there is no point in my talking about it. You are examining your analysing your hurts. When you analyse, the process is the analyser and the analysed. Right? So there is a division. Is not the analyser - please listen carefully - is not the analyser the analysed? Right? You follow this? So you have created an artificial division, which is the analyser is thinking differently from the analysed, but in actuality the analyzer is the analysed. Right? So there is a fundamental error in the process of analysis. And in the process of analysis you take time, days, months, years - you know the game that you all play, and enriching each other in your own peculiar ways, financially and emotionally and all the rest of it.

So there is a fundamental error in the process of analysis. When the analyser is the analysed, realizing that then how is one to be free of all hurts, of the past, and any hurts that may come tomorrow, in the future? Is this a problem, is this a real vital issue to be solved by you? Do you feel the necessity of solving it? Otherwise you just play games with it. If it is essential that you solve this problem, which means the problem of man who has divided himself by calling himself a Christian, a Buddhist, a Hindu, a Muslim - you follow? - me and you and we and they. Now how is one to be free of past hurts? If analysis is not the way, what is one to do?

first let's look at the picture first. Not the verbal picture because the description is not the described, the word is not the thing. So what we have done is that the speaker has described, so don't be carried off by the description. Look at the described, which is that you are hurt, it is inevitable. Life hurts you. Another hurts you. By comparing, through imitation, through conformity, through pressure, through propaganda, so all the things around you are hurting you. Now is it possible to be free of hurt? That is, are you aware that you have an image about yourself and that the image is being hurt? If you are aware, if you say, 'Yes, this is a fact, this is an actuality, not a description', then what is one to do, knowing that any division must inevitably lead to conflict. Right? We will go into it together, share together. That is, the speaker is not telling you what to do. The speaker and you are sharing this question, to find out actually, in daily life, whether it is possible to live without a single hurt, because then you will know what love is.

Hurt and flattery are the same, aren't they? I wonder if you realize it? Both are different forms of hurts - no? You are flattered and you like it, and the flatterer becomes your friend. So that also is another form of encouraging the image. Right? The one you want, the other you don't want. So we are only now dealing with what we don't want. Which is not to be hurt. But we want the other, which is pleasurable, which is comforting, comforting, pleasing to the images that we have. So both are the same. Now how am I, how is a human being to be free of hurt? So we have to go into the question of what it is to be attentive - sorry to expand this question.

What does it mean to attend? Because if you know what it means to attend it may solve the problem. I will show it to you - or rather I won't show it to you, we will share it together. Have you ever given total attention to anything? Complete attention in which there is no centre from which you attend. Do you understand the question? When there is a centre from which you attend then there is a division. I wonder if you follow this? No, I see you don't. Let's put it differently.

All right. You know what it is to be aware - do you? To be aware. That is, one is aware of the trees under which we are sitting, aware of the branches, the colour of the branches, the leaves, the shadows, the thickness, aware of all the nature, the beauty of it. Then you are also aware of sitting on the ground, the colour of the carpet, the speaker, the microphone. And can you be aware of all this, the microphone, the carpet, the earth, the colour of the leaves and so on, the blue shirt and the white shirt, and the desk, aware of all that without any choice? You understand? To look at it without any choice, judgement, just to look. If you can do it, that is to look without any judgement, without any choice, just to observe, in that observation there is no observer. Right? The moment the observer comes in prejudice begins, the like and the dislike, I prefer this, I don't prefer that, division takes place. Right? So there is attention only when there is no entity who says, 'I am attending'. Right? Please, it is important to understand this. Because if you know, if there is an attention then you will see you will never be hurt again. And the past hurts are wiped away. That is, when there is an awareness in which there is no choice, no judgement, merely observation, but the moment the observer comes in then the observer gets hurt. Right? Do you understand?

So, when somebody says something to the picture that is going to be hurt, when there is complete attention there is no hurt. Have you understood? Somebody calls the speaker a fool, arrogant, or this or that. To listen to that word, to see the meaning of that word and give complete attention to it, then there is no past hurt, or the future hurt because there is no entity who is observing. I wonder if you get this? No, please, this is very important because we are going to go into this in all our talks. That as long as there is a division there must be conflict, because this is very important in dealing with fear, with pleasure, with sorrow, with death, all of that, that as long as there is a division between the observer, the experiencer, the thinker and the thought, there must inevitably be conflict, division, fragmentation, and therefore disintegration. So can you observe the tree, yourself, your neighbour, observe life completely attentively? Then can you observe with total attention the picture that you have about yourself? And when you give that complete attention is there a picture at all? You understand? You have understood it?

So when there is no image, no picture, no conclusion then what is the relationship between two human beings? You have understood? Now our relationship is based on division, which is an obvious fact. The man goes to the office, there he is brutal and ambitious, greedy and all the rest of it, comes home and he says, 'Darling, how lovely'! So there is contradiction in our life, and therefore our life is a constant battle. And therefore no relationship. And to have real human relationship is to have no image whatsoever. Then there is no image, no picture, no conclusion, and it is quite complex this question, because you have memories. Can you be free of memories of yesterday's incidents so that you are - you follow? All that is implied. Then what is the relationship between two human beings who have no images? You will find out if you have no image. That may be love. And that word 'love' has been so abused, so trodden, so sullied.

So can one live, actually in daily life without division? Which means without war, without conflict.

Demonic Nature is always Jealous of God head path, so it pull you off to a path to which it belongs , and ensures that their PATH is Right, hence we cannot resolve the conflict, and disharmony persists. confusion persists.. 

so Sri krishna says - (Source: swami prabupada) in following sloka that 5 demonic activities always deviate. Krishna not only clarifies here that He(supreme being) is residing not only in your body but in others body too, so if u refuse others means your are refusing HIM.so the universal God lives in every one's body .

 chapter 16-18

ahankaram balam darpam
kamam krodham ca samsritah
mam atma-para-dehesu
pradvisanto 'bhyasuyakah

SYNONYMS

ahankaram--false ego; balam--strength; darpam--pride; kamam--lust; krodham--anger; ca--also; samsritah--having taken shelter of; mam--Me; atma--one's own; para dehesu--in other bodies; pradvisantah--blasphemes; abhyasuyakah--envious.

TRANSLATION

Bewildered by1) false ego, 2) strength, 3) pride, 4) lust and 5) anger, the demon becomes envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is situated in his own body and in the bodies of others, and blasphemes against the real religion.

 

PURPORT

A demoniac person, being always against God's supremacy, does not like to believe in the scriptures. He is envious of both the scriptures and of the existence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is caused by his so-called prestige and his accumulation of wealth and strength. He does not know that the present life is a preparation for the next life. Not knowing this, he is actually envious of his own self, as well as of others. He commits violence on other bodies and on his own. He does not care for the supreme control of the Personality of Godhead because he has no knowledge. Being envious of the scriptures and the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he puts forward false arguments against the existence of God and refutes the scriptural authority. He thinks himself independent and powerful in every action. He thinks that since no one can equal him in strength, power, or in wealth, he can act in any way and no one can stop him. If he has an enemy who might check the advancement of his sensual activities, he makes plans to cut him down by his own power. 

 * * *

we can conclude that when we are in that demonic state of mind we are in an image , we are talking to an image so two images fight always, if both; person decide that they should not talk to  an image but  should talk in actuality. There would be perfect harmony, there would ease(no dis-ease), there would be love, compassion, and energy. Let this Valentine day revive our relationships to actual not to the images.

 So, as long as we use the mind in relationship, there can be no understanding of relationship. Because, after all, it is the mind that makes us be detached. When there is love, there is no question of attachment or detachment. The moment there is the cessation of that love, then the question of attachment and detachment begins. Love is not the product of thought; you cannot think about love. It is a state of being. And, when the mind interferes by its calculation, by its jealousies, by its various cunning deceptions, then the problem of relationship arises. Relationship has significance only when it is a process of revealing oneself to oneself; and if in that process one proceeds deeply, widely, and extensively, then in relationship there is peace - not the contention, not the antagonism between two people. Only in that quietness, in that relationship in which there is the fruition of self-knowledge, is there peace.....by JKM

Wisdom words on the eve of New year

 

The Gate of the Year...

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.”
And he replied:  “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God.(perfect knowledge) That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.

"Poverty and Prisons can bind you not,

you can't be free by means of lot,

By thought of bondage yourself you bind,

of course you are free when you free from the mind,

you are your master and servant ofcourse,

your are your bondage and freedom source,

the change of fate thus lies in you,

you can make it highest and lowest too,

The start of fate is ACTION and THOUGHT,

for making it better the POWER you have got.....

Know how to prepare ourselves for the Path...

Its been Excellent talk by Swami Rama giving lots of insights how , why should we adopt meditation as part of our life. Swami Rama explains comprehensively and elaborated details of mind and its deviations, and the path to lead us to super -conscious state of mind wakefully. For better understanding listen and write down and re- read it again and again until we understand it fully.
He quoted the method from patanjali. The best way to understand great talks is to note down the questions arising out in mind while listening to them, and later on introspect them, as it is recording you can listen it number of times. I have enjoyed the talk, and make me feel to listen it again. wish you will also enjoy it.

अपने अंदर आग पैदा करो.....

प्रिय मित्र   , दीपावली की शुभकामनाये ,

हमारे अन्दर आग कहाँ है? एक व्यंक्ति  था जिसने  आग बनाने की कला को खोजा, वह अपने औजार लेकर कबीलों में गया   , जब कभी भी बहुत ठण्ड पढती थी , उसने बताया की आग कैसे जलाई जाती है , लोग बहुत उत्सुक हो कर उसको देखतेथे , उनको वह दिखा था की आग के उपयोग क्या क्या है, वो लोग  खाना पका सकते थे, अपने तो ठण्ड से बचा सकते थे, वगेरा वगेरा।। वोह लोग बहुत आभारी थे उसके क्यों की उसने उनको आग बना सिखाया।

पर इससे पहले की वह अपने बात उससे कह पते वह कही गायब होचुका था , उसको सम्मान नहीं चाहिए था न  उन लोगो का धन्यवाद् वोह सिर्फ उनलोग का कुशल क्षेम चाहता था।वह दोसरे कबीला जा चुकता , वहां पर भी वह अपने खोज को दिखाया और लोगो को जगरूप किया , वहां  भी लोग काफी प्रभावित हुए और लोग के बीच लोग्प्रियता काफी बड गयी थी  पर कुछ लोग थे जिनको खटकने लगा ,  वहां  के पण्डित  पुजारियों  से ज्यादा मशहूर होगया था ,तो उन्लोगोने निर्णय किया की उसको ज़हर देकर मार डालें और उन्होंने वही किया भी।

पर उनको थोडा भय होगया की लोग उनके खिलाफ न होजाये  ,उन्होंने एक ऐसा निर्णय लिया जिससे साँप भी मरगया और लाठी भी नहीं टूटी , क्या आप सौच सकते है क्या किया होगा? उन्होंने उसकी एक मूर्ति रख दी  और वहां के मंदिर के मुख्य वेदी पर रख दिया .जिन चीजों से वह आग बनाता उसको वहां पर रखदिये  गए , और लोगो को कहदिया गया की उसको सम्मान दे और पूजा करें।

इस तरह लोगों का हूजूम हजारों साल तक कर्त्तव्य निष्ठा से करने लगे।श्रद्धा और भक्ति चलती रही पर हजारो साल तक कोई आग नहीं थी  कहाँ है आग? कहाँ है प्रेम ? कहाँ है मुक्ति?

येही है  आध्यात्म !!! यह दुखद पूर्ण है की हमने अपनी परख खो दी , नहीं क्या ?येही सब गुरु है पर हम महत्त्व किसको देते है ,किसको रटने लगे है एक फोटो के सामने रटी रटायी बातें  करनेमे अपना सारा वक्त बिताते है ,आग कहा है? अगर  आपकी पूजा आग उत्पन्न नहीं करपा रही है, अगर आपकी श्रद्धा प्यार उत्पन्न नहीं करपा  रही है , आपकी  पूजा पद्धति आपको सत्य का  अनुभव नहीं करा रही है , अगर आप ईश्वर   उन्मुख नहीं हॉपरहे है  , तो यह धर्म किस काम का , यह भक्ति किस काम की ,यह तो और  बांट देगा , और कट्टरपन रूढ़िवादिता  लायेगा और बैर लायेगा ,   ऐसा नहीं है की अधर्म के कारण  सब जगह दुःख है ,  दुखी इसलिए है क्यों की प्यार का आभाव है, चैतन्यता का अभाव है और कोई  रास्ता है ही नहीं ....है ही नहीं।।

अगर हम समझ पाए की जो अवरुद्ध हम प्यार के ,मुक्ति और आनंद  के बीच में लारहे  है उनको निकाल  दे,फ़ेंक दे  तो उसी क्षण जीवन में चैतन्यता का दीपक जल उठेगा , और अँधेरा दूर भगाएगा,  होजायेगा। और तभी हम सही मायने में दीपावली मनाएंगे .

गुरूजी कहते है( पैजे १७ मेरे किये है भरम सब दूर ) प्यारे भाइयों और बहिनो हमें कुछ भी  बनना नहीं है क्यों कि कुछ बनना ही भ्रम पैदा करता है। इसलिए जैसे के तैसे रहो। पदार्थ पद में से बनकर मूल को भूल जाता है अर्थात निज स्वरुप को व्यवस्था  यदि किन्ही कारण  वश पदार्थ स्वरुप में आ भी जाये तोह सदगुरु क़ी शरण में जाकर निज स्वरुप को जानो ,जो नित्य अवं पूर्ण है। कहने का आशय यह है कि तुम भी पूर्ण सर्वशातिमान जगत हो , अंतर केवल पहचान का हैं।  

"The sadguru is Nirguna(sat-chit-anand)he has indeed taken human form to elevate mankind and raise the world.But his real nature(nirguna) is not destroyed there by even a bit. His beingness(or reality) divine power , and wisdom, remain undiminished."(page 13, mere kiye bharam sab door)

The Seer Who Walks Alone

I found beautiful film from Films division which covers Jiddu Krishnamurti Life journey and his teachings.though his name is not new to us, but knowing him through a movie is a different experience.here it is...

Negative emotions destroy body mind and soul, Get rid of them as soon as possible

My Dear friend,

The Yearly Guru poornima was celebrated in much more dedicated way and more knowledge has been spread to the common man.I was going through the book which been printed this year and found certain lines which always believed that there is serious correlation between Illness and emotions. Mentor quotes few lines from Norman Vincent peale's book. "The Power of positive Thinking"( I recommend you to buy and make notes of it and go through the each line)  You know, it really makes sense.  Health does link up with stress, as we read in Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's book The Power of Positive Thinking (see forum if you want to read more of the book review / discussion Review of all chapters is here
 ) On p. 152 it was written that

1)"1/3 of all cases of illness in general hospitals are clearly organic in nature and onset, 

2) one third are a combination of emotional and organic,

3)  and one third are clearly emotional"

 4) and that long-held hatred can cause damage to a body to lower resistance and physical deterioration and that grudges ill will and resentment can cause poor health.  "Many people suffer poor health not because of what they eat but from what is eating them. Emotional ills turn in upon yourself, sapping your energy, reducing your efficiency, causing deterioration in your health. And of course they siphon off your happiness", p. 154. So... resentment, fear, anxiety are the culprits and illustrates "the profound effect of mental pain on physical conditions" (p. 155). Dr. Peale even went on to note how recurring colds can even be traced to being angry or feelings of insecurity.Review of all chapters is here

5) Chemical reactions in the body are set up by emotional outburst that result in feeling of ill heath.

6) Long held hatred did his body such damage.

7) Honestly ask yourself if you are harboring any ill will or resentment in grudges and if so cast these out get rid of them without delay.

8) It is necessary to state emphatically that emotional and feelings are quite as real as germs and no less respectable

9) That the bad temper was at the Root of one's chronic cold symptoms (Norman Vincent Peale)

Apart from quoting these lines he describes very important point here that काम,(Lust)  क्रोध (Anger), मद (individual ego),लोभ (Greed) ,मोह (Attachment) these elements are ready to topple this body all times.In addition to these घ्रणा, जलन(fury) , नफरत(hatred) , ईर्ष्या (jealous) will add on Elements which destroys this body. But most important things he explains here that This above mentioned Elements only can attack only if भावना और संवेदना मिल जाते है तो ही (emotion and sense feelings combined together only do the destruction not without it).

He explains further that , when such emotions constantly battle in the heart without en routing them out, they bring chemical changes which results in crippled mind, diseased body.Therefore he concludes that we shouldn't stay with such kind of negative emotions for long and find a way to take it out as soon as possible.

He also suggest the ways out to dispose of these kind of emotions further, which could be very fruitful if know them thoroughly and implement in our life.

In the end Mentor concludes with beautiful parable.

" let Go and Let God"

As children bring their broken toys with tears for us to mend. I brought my broken dreams to God because he is my friend.But then instead of leaving him in peace to work alone. I hung around and tried to help with ways that were my own. At last I snatched them back and cried " How can you be so Slow!

 O My child, He said what could i do? You never did let go

(unknown)

वह हमसे कताई दूर नहीं है.

My Dear friend,
This year Guru poornima is approaching in few days, so thought to pen down my salutation to revered Guru, who show us the path of light always, and keep his blessings on us, to provide more strength to face the hurdles on the path of success.

नमस्ते परम ब्रह्म नमस्ते परमात्मने | 

निर्गुणाय नमस्तुभ्यं सद्रूपय नमो नमः || 

वास्तव में अनेक जन्मों के  पुण्य कर्म ही है जो दिव्य  सत्संग और सतगुरु का संग करनेका  अवसर मिलरहा  है,  संतो का कहना है की ,अनेक जन्मो के संचित कर्मो  का विनाश  होजाता है, अगर हमे  सतगुरु के दर्शन प्राप्त कर सके .

हमारे  सौभाग्य है की उनका अनुग्रह प्रत्यक्ष और अप्रत्यक्ष हमें प्राप्त हो रही .है. 

Flower of life, ज्ञात से अज्ञात ,  में उन्होंने लिखा है की , परमेश्वर कहीं दूर या अज्ञात नहीं है , अपितु हमारे अंग संग के साथी है, यह सत्य है की परमेश्वर का मिलना   आसानी से प्राप्त नहीं होपाता   पर अस्संभव भी  नहीं है , अपने तर्क और विग्यता  से प्रमाणित भी करते है , विभिन्न काल और प्रदेषो के  महापुरुषों  के अनुभव ; ईश्वर के दर्शन होने पर उनकी स्थिती  एक सामान ही है . 

और एक प्रश्न भी करते है ,की क्यों गणि का(prostitute)  और दूसरो पर अधिकार(Tax gatherers) ज़माने वाले अधिकारी  भी स्वर्ग पहुँच रहे,है, पर हम नहीं?

जब की कृष्ण , ईसू ,मोह्माद , गुरु नानक ,कबीर, रविदास ,स्वामी दयानंद ,तुकाराम, गाँधी और बाबाजी जैसे लोग येहां पर आये और हमको सच्चा  मार्ग भी बताया फिर भी हम वाही के वहीँ है. 

आगे जिज्ञासा शांत करते हुए उन्होंने बताया की हमने उनपर सच्चा विशवास कभी किया ही नहीं  और लगातार उनकी अवहेलना करते चले गये. परिणाम स्वरुप यह हुआ की हमारे अन्दर नफ़रत घर कर गयी . नफरत का जहर हमारे शरीर मन और आत्मा को नष्ट करदिया .

शांति और सौहाद्रपूर्ण वातावरण चाहते है तो अपने जीवन में तो नफरत विष घोलना बंद करदें , और आपस में  मिठे शब्दों उच्छारण कर आपस में प्रेम में, एक दुसरे के साथ प्रेम में  रहें क्यों की परमेश्वर हमारे अंग-संग के साथ है हमशा . गुरु नानक जी कहते है 

"साँच काहूँ प्रभू जिन प्रेम कियो 

तिन ही प्रभू पायो "

वह हमसे कताई दूर नहीं है. 

भजन 

गुरु के शब्द में हरदम सुरत  को जो लगाता है 

कभी चक्कर चौरासी में नहीं इंसान आता है ॥ 

यह कहना आरिफों का है,फैसला भी यह ग्रंथो का ,

कभी सेवक वह सतगुरु का,न यम के हाथ जाता है ॥ 

गुरु सेवा गुरु भक्ति, ही है यह नित्य कर्म जिसका,

सदा रत इन ही कर्मो में न गुरुमुख जी चुराता है ॥ 

निरंतर लगन से जपता ,स्वंसों में नाम की माला ,

वह दुर्लभ जन्म मानुष की, कदर कीमत बढ़ता है ॥ 

दास  मन को रूचि जिसके हिदायत जो महापुरुषों की ,

नफस परस्ती के धंधो में , न हीरा तन लुटाता है ॥ 

अब हमें विचार करना है, की जब वह दूर नहीं है तो अपने परिवार में हार्मोनी(harmony) क्यों नहीं है. येहाँ  पर गौतम बुद्धा की बात याद आती है , की 

"A Family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden, But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden".

एक परिवार वोह स्थान है जहां पर विभिन्न मन ( विचार) आपस में टकराते है , अगर उन विचारों में आपस में प्रेम जो जाए तो वह एक सुन्दर बगिया  सा प्रतीत होता है , पर इन विभिन्न मनो में हार्मोनी बिगड़ जाये तो वो एक तूफ़ान की तरह है जो इस बगिया को तेहस -नेहस  करदेता है।

कितनी सुन्दर बात बुद्ध ने बताई है , संतो ने येही बताया है की आपस में मैल बढाओ , मिलजुल कर रहो .


ऋग्वेद की आखरी ऋचा पाठ से अपनी बात समाप्त करता हूँ .



The last Sukta of Rigveda (10.191) summarizes the whole essence of what humans should do to imbibe the Vedas. The entire Vedas have to be understood in context of this Sukta which emphasizes on the most differentiating trait of human beings – unity – in purpose, method and approach. Here is a summary list of the dictates of Vedic religion in this Sukta: Rigveda 10.191.2


Sangchadhvam samvaddhvam sam vo manaansi jaantaam
Devaa bhaagam yathaa purve samjaanaanaa upaasate
- Rig Veda 10.191.2

“Move together, speak together, Let your minds be in unison.”May your thoughts be common, the place of assembly common: common the minds, and hearts of all united, a common purpose and common provisions"



Samaano mantrah samitih samaani, Samaanam manah saha chittmeshaam
Samaanam mantramabhi mantraye vah, Samaanena vo havisha juhomi -RigVeda10.191.3

samaani va aakutih samaanaa hridlyaani vah
samaanamastu vo  mano yathaa vah su sahaasti - Rigveda 10.191.4

The supreme Lord ordains: Let your way of thinking be the same, Let your minds be of one accord, Let your resolutions be the same, Let the commonness of your thoughts bring the co-operation of the highest order.  So those all attain the same goals and have peace and prosperity.


another translation could be like this : -

- walk together in the path of truth without bias, injustice and intolerance
- talk to each other to enhance knowledge, wisdom and affection without malice and hatred
- keep working together to enhance knowledge and bliss
- follow the path of truth and selflessness as exemplified by noble people
Rigveda 10.191.3
- Your analysis of right and wrong should be unbiased and not specific to particular set of people
- You should organize together to help everyone enhance their health, knowledge and prosperity
