A Deep Feeling of Good.

Babaji,

1 if --------- it is a myth that wealth, possessions, power, and control can make one happy. But a person who may not have all those glittery things may be happy for it is her state of mind and heart to be happy-------------why man asks god for aishwarya, wealth, mahimas, power etc

2 dwelling on past and future also happens -------only in the present moment----in fact, the whole life , eating, breathing, working, playing, singing, thinking, alll living happen only in the present moment-----------is it not ?

3 what ever we may be doing, all moment by moment , happens in the present moment -----is it not?

4 what exists is only the present moment , past is gone, future not come -----------is it not ?

5 if so ,then , why to try and struggle to aspire for living in the present moment ----not at all necessary -----------is it notREPLYDELETE  Like

not at all necessary! They say why repeat Ram Naam a million times, just say it right and from your heart ONE time and Rama will appear!! Do you believe this?

How can one shut out the past and future? is that possible without repeated efforts to the point where no more purusharth is needed!! Love,REPLY  Like  Report Offensive Block this user

Babaji,

past is a book of valuable wisdom , most necessary lessons to guide the present , it's divine gift that we are able to retain, remember., ruminate, contemplate, improve, ---all an integral part of the present moment

without past, ie ,by wiping out past, we will lose great wealth of wisdom

when similar difficult encounters faced, recollecting the past follies and consequences that suffered, one will not repeat the same mistakes , in the present

so we should never shut out the past

future is an unopened book, an enchantment, a mystery, a charm, an unknown land, unexplored avenues, infinite possibilities, as secrete as god himself , and worthy to conjure up, to plan, to achieve the impossible, with infinite options, an exercise creativity thinking , and new ways of living the life

so we should never shut out the future

without the past and future , man becomes wavering, unsure ,faltering, blind man as if an illiterate, in the art and science of life , quo vadis , always , moment to moment with no confidence

so the life, ie present moment needs the support of past and futureREPLYDELETE  Like (1)

babaji,

in spirituality so many men say so many things

belief will not work, faith no help, hope is only blind grope

truth to be known by direct experience, no second hand stories can deliver

using a bucket with shorter rope, even with any number of repeated efforts, one cannot fetch the water from the well

the necessary thing is that bucket has to reach and immerse in waterREPLYDELETE  Like (1)

A Deep Feeling of Good.........as long as it is ----only a feeling,--- will it result in ananda, happiness?

since feeling is only a thinking process, though a subtle thinking process, ----feeling is a thought of happiness, not the experience of happiness

experience of happiness can happen---when one goes beyond the thinking, feeling levels -----into the core of the being , the pure consciousness ----------is it not?

When one has accessed his core of being, which is the ocean of goodness, happiness, wellness,

is there any need for creating a feel, / mood about these?

since these are automatic outcome of that experience, in think ,talk, walk , no further mod making is necessary ----is it not ?REPLYDELETE  Like

Any mood making is not a substitute without the ''real ''

mood making is manipulation of mind, it is a kind of a self hypnosis.

to feel deeply that ''i am a king '' definitely gives some happiness,

but it is not based on reality ,since i am not king

but a king in reality is happy enjoying his reality of kingship ,

that cannot be substituted with mere thinking that i am king

--------------is it not?
