Pulling The Rug From Under my feet ‘’?.
‘’Pulling The Rug From Under my feet ‘’?……….. like sankara in his nirvana satkam ‘’I am not this , i am not this.”……as in his . ‘’ Nirvana Shatakam………………….. …………
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
………..all possessions, giving and taking are happening due to some unknown force/s, independent of intentions of giver and taker
……in the case of ocean it is all due to sun / earth’s gravitation…….independent of intentions of sun / earth ……
……giver and taker are just incidental. like tea cup into which tea comes and tea goes out of it
.the filler and sipper of tea is outside ……
….if a man is rich, receiving/earning a lot of money, or losing/ getting robbed…it is just caused due to unknown force/s…..roots of which is unfathomable……doership is all a directed drama,……all are actors on the stage……in the final analysis, there is neither the ocean nor the sun, nor the flow, …neither is there a stage nor drama …nor the actors, ………not even the so called great director!!??……………..cup is thrown off….. stage is blown off ………all just ”use and throw”……vilaya…..pralaya……laya

Scriptures show us the path but how many have found the truth ?
At any given time there are millions on the path
but how many have reached the ultimate?’‘
since “The proof of the pudding is in the eating”
the very fact that not all, but a very few could reach the ultimate ….is the very reason for more scientific result oriented approach needed
, though putting mental/ physical effort and strain, the goal is not reached, benefit not got
since humanity is on the wrong track,guidance is faulty/ not clear/ confusing, / ineffective/ unwise
i did a study of a few teachings and systems and find there is enough scope to make a table of all religions and teachings and show the equivalents, some sankara teachings are coniciding with marati saints like tukaram , meera etc some with milton, William blake, emerson
scriptures in present time—-how
The need does exist immense.
contents of scriptures are meant for living them ,
1 to be seen in tapasya, meditation and
2 to be walking in their light.
reading listening, debating, learning by heart, expressing in learned forums —all is only insignificant part of the full glory.
in deep meditation they are available for conscious perception and spontaneous application in all activities
”yad yad karma karomi…….,” becomes the property of one in one’s nature—this does not happen by reciting reading repeating–though these have their own value
thus the scriptures start getting lived in the context of contemporary life,
and once lived , get interpreted , updated, in the language and idiom of our time
eg. geetha
whether one has read or not, it ‘s message is cognized in reality, beyond the limitations of language, in all phases of life, in all modern subjects of study , and one becomes ageetha, a geethaacharya in his thought, talk and walk, in his own right, his birth right
scriptures are written not from intellectual contemplation or conjuctures, or idle imagination, but from the deepest experiences of rishis , cognized from within
and the reality of these are to be gained from our own depths,
not from the heaps of books
books seve the purpose of only to confirm our cognitions ganed in the light of enlightenment
will provide some light not the enlightenment, and not meant for conformity
enlightenment only confirms the truth, and naturally makes us to conform to it
Responsibility
“To a person who is spiritually evolved, there is no question of taking responsibility, .or evading or passing the buck ,even on to god,
as he fully knows that all acts are done by God,
and since he has realized god, he knows that himself is that god and he …. is … the doer, truly .. not just a vehicle for the divine.that exists some where unseen
It is this teaching that Lord Krishna gave Ajruna on the battlefield, through the Bhagwad Geeta, that you are a non-doer, since you are doing in the state of nondoing, naishkarmyam, and hence you are fully responsible for what you do. , not krishna or some distant god,
This hold true for both the good and bad deeds that we do. We can never relinquish responsibility , since truly we are the god in the realized state so we must be utmost concerned on the results of our every action we should not ignore or be reckless on the consequences in the assumption that we are giving up doer-ship totally,
god ‘ spirituality is not an escape route
on the other hand, enlightened person grows to a level that he takes the responsibility for the smooth running of the whole universe
one guru taught this
he in fact administered an oath for us all, it is we took an oath
” i am responsible for the whole universei am the matha pita bandhu sakha for the whole universe”
his saying is
”if we take responsibility power comes to us”
all spirituality is a training for living a totally responsible life ,
by realizing that one is himself is the god that is running the universe
i skip many topics just to keep my mind on higher plane,
there is infinitely lot more to explore in this limited life of 100y minus
than on ways of how flesh, blood, bones, hair, --tho all gods manifestation.
i keep looking for elevating thoughts in st, especially from great masters
. unfortunately i find all well meaning bloggers some times have a tendency to focus on trivialities .
i am not waiting for world to change as per my wishes, nor i can change any one by my efforts .
i am just selfish self centered, self interested, self devoted, self deluded you may like to call ,
best thing i can do it is to close my eyes, my ears, hold my tongue at the inevitable wrong things that are happenning, just taking care that, i , for one, will not fall in to ditch, tho all humanity is rushing towards it
