contentment

 i see this is the beauty of   spirituality, the mirror helping me by showing my error, to correct and improve little by little. in association with all the wise spirituals here

the full import of spirituality and the clue for contentment is clear in  selected quote,

“Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.” -- Lao Tzu,

i like to interpret this to my advantage to corroborate my statements above in my traditional lang

author has given the master key ‘’non-being is the greatest joy’’ which is truly the state of self realization which alone can give the greatest joy and the ultimate contentment, health, confidence, surely and truly follow---and hence this stands as the basic requirement for accomplishing all the rest

and this state of realization elevates one's vision

to ''embrace a sense of satisfaction and sufficiency''. and

to see'' the cup half full, the beauty and bounty that are available to us........''and

to ''take pleasure in what we have and what we are, even life's simplest offerings. It frees us from envy and longing and so makes us generous.''

till then, one must not compromise with small achievements. Since ‘’naa alpe sukhamasthu’’, ie, in all the small gains there is no lasting joy and real contentment, so move forwards, stop not

      caution is not heeded by many seekers, and they end up lifelong only seeking but not finding hence the advice of shankaracharya nethi nethi, not this not this ----on the forward journey and then chidananda roopaha shivoham shivoham ----i am the bliss, --------on the return journey"

 , ,,,,, ,  is not god a mouldable plastic?

--having physical and material properties best suited to create things as desired, of any specification, simple and most complex, and beings as per the choice with life, /inert of different sizes, color, hardness, ......

--and he himself also a molder.....

--assumes different forms, one at a time, or simultaneously, at different places, or at different times

--shiv, kishan, ram, -....

--sarasvathi, durga, lakshmi.......

--and each form generating from itself different sub forms

vishnu with 10 avatar, and 1000 names......

he becomes a mountain, hima parvath, gives birth to hymavathi

he becomes what not-----man ,monkey, snake, river, rain , ocean, 

he becomes a Master a scientist, creates train and plane

can there be a better material

Rishiji you have focused on the manifestation of the Oneness.Yes all the forms are Him only.As humans cannot ima gine the form less in the beginning,start with the form.Thank you 

since god is mouldable your statement also is true 

since your statement also is true,,god is unmouldable 

how to reconcile two which are opposites

1 as unmanifest nirgun niraakar, he is unmouldable into any aakaar 

2 as manifest sagun saakaar, he is mouldable into any aakaar,   

Radha's shyam was different

meeras shyam was different 

as per their creation, 

but 

he is meerakaa bhee shyam hai

radhakaa bhee shyaam hai 

gita,'' i reach every one in their own way''

all gods with name form mahima are the creations of devotees as per their ability and likes 

We choose what suits us ... it doesn't mean other is discard ....... everything is perfect this is 

perfectly true 

Saint lilasuka bilva mangala sings the glory of Krishna 

kasturi tilakam lalaata palake ,vakshasthale kaustubham

nasaagre navamouktikam,karatale venum kare kankanam

sarvaange harichandanam cha kalayam,kanthe cha muktaavali

gopastree pariveshtitho,vijayate gopaala choodamanee

 rishiji ......... i can understand , even i feel the same many a times ....... but i get confused ......... every thing is same .......... but what is that which is taken out of body and body becomes ash ............ who so ever body is .......... wo tatv kya hai

Difficult to answer

but i feel , ''life'' is one of the forms of consciousness

consciousness has inert, living forms

ie,1 jad , lifeless, , 2 jeeva, living, 

living has shuptha, swapna, jagruth chethan, 

man can experience turia, samadhi 

so when one dies, his consciousness becomes inert ,,,,, 

It may be like a lighted candle put off

God is unity of all diversity, and opposing values 

god is strictest boss

god is the kindest boss

Unmanifest is not mouldable

manifest is mouldable

also

manifest is raw material

unmanifest is finished product 

and vice versa also true 

we can understand and interpret in any way

each interpretation is a creation , , a product

every devotee creates as per his ability , like a better weaver weaves and produces better clothes

like a better designer/engineer creates better machines, allow me to peep in to it now and then this is my no praise in vain , not me, but my heart wants to pen on discovering an angel in st's den"

"Shruthi smruthi puraanaanaam in tapas, rishi cognizes richa, in akshra, parame vyoman expresses as veda what is heard is shruthi what is jotted down is smruthi

smruthi expanded is darshana

darshana compounded with localization is puraana

puraana fragmented are udanthas upaakhyaanas

updated to yugas become yuga dharma

updated to contemporary ,come as stories, novels, episodes, news views reviews comments, ethics, norms, customs, systems

one will have real gain ----only when--- one really experiences pure awareness--- once at least ---for a fraction of a second ---for entire life

if not '' nahi nahi rakkshathi du krun karani ''

do it by any knack , guru, master, technic, method anything ok but result is the thing most important but without it all is waste

life is wasted

"1 on forward journey , everything to be left behind, even bhakthi, devotion , [ ie the subtlest levels of the mind , ]bhakthi, devotion, though is glorious , though quite promising, yet is binding , stuck with name and form,with qualities and glories of beloved god, ista devatha , is a subtle obstruction , blurring the sight, on forward journey to the transcendent para brahma, nameless formless attributeless

2 but on return journey the same , all gross and subtle, subtlest encounters are great treasures , that is how the seeker once completes the direct flight is coming back to earth with all the wealth, and here he becomes the baul, fakir since he has earned and in possession of that which has to be earned and possessed he has nothing to care

 

here he enjoys''all what ever i do is thy worship o shambho ''yad yad karma karomi thath thath akhilam shambho thava aaraadhanam"

this is the point most seekers miss in their grasp A human being can’t live at ‘Turiya’ state permanently. ----

transcendence is most important, but only the first episode of life ,

it is like one studying and becoming the graduate in engg, ----

very important, but then what further?

he will not keep quiet , and will not just eat and sleep he practices the profession, designs, manufactures products, distributes, contributes a lot to life ''He needs to come down to the level where he can interact with the world to survive his life. I feel, the in depth thought of ‘Baul’ tries to solve this problem .

So, their concept is instead of ‘No Mind’ state let it be ‘Free Mind’.

here starts the real, new, more important episodes,

he re-engineers the universe, discovers/ creates new worlds he lives engg in life

 

he lives the divinity, the mukthi, freedom in his think talk walk totally , i call this the return flight to life back, with his earned wealth a baul is fakir. , but he is ''rich'' fakir"

 

that is how vedas emerged, and one gets the glimpse of vedic truths directly without reading/ understanding what veda is

  

Come closer,

to you only , i whisper,

i am, standing still, unshakable ,

let no one else hear it,

i do pretend innocence,

i learnt it from krishna ,

the chora kishora

in essence

i have to yield , you a gem expert,

now a lie detector too

perfect, o arjuna

yes, seers see me thru

 whatever mask i wear

tho non seers remain unaware

of my games fair or unfair

"Pranams o krishna,

me, this arjuna is so fortunate to see your true nature

in such a short time , so nearest to bosom,

tho you are unseen, on net cloud

up above the earth

your glory is inexplicable

     Change is the key word

till the best , optimum, ideal is reached.

 

then stability is the requirement

to sustain the best, till it starts stinking .

 

again change is required

to brings the new possibilities, still better, 

 

and the cycle of change and stability must continue,

life being a flowing stream,

driving away the stink, 

giving way to clean . 

citizens know how to get rid of the stink 

they made many a stalwarts to blink 

 

saved the country not to sink 

proving they can originally think 

 

and all present, even the best, and stables 

will be sent to rest in stables

 Maharishi said

pure consciousness the absolute pure field of creative intelligence i s the source of thot, in that silent non moving ocean of consciousness, an impulse of it appears as a minute ripple, the most subtle sprout of thot, like a tiny air bubble and gradually it gathers the energy and intelligence of the field and gains momentum, ie ,the energy and direction and grows and comes to the conscious level and appears as fully grown thot, and man perceives it then.What

if there is thot , there is mind

if there is no thot ,there is no mind

As long as thots prevail , we dwell in mind, and experience its all consequences

hence to be free , attempt has been to go beyond and be with pure consciousness, the field of sath chith ananda

Thoughts make us limited , covering/restricting our ability to be with our true nature, and we thus become the individual, bindu

once we go beyond we are in /we are sindhu

can be truly understood if only one gains the glimpse of absolute, thru guidance,

or else all discussion is only reading about mango without ever tasting it , even best photo graph/video of mango is no mango

hence i daringly assert that blog , but after you tasted it

first have it then come and blog

otherwise st will remain a green tree picture before us , not a real tree of true experience we missing the real shade, fruits flowers leaves and the birds singing perched on its branches

of course it's the choice of individual what he wants, but he misses a world, miserably engrossed in debates

sankara and maharishi first attained that essential qualification first and foremost earliest in there life, having been established fully in there deepest self they started to teach/debate , but not before that.

no one can force any one but i have to say the truth, one likes it or not but surely he will not understand the import of my talk , no claims but my guru makes to talk from staying inside and saying what i see

   sweet memories of guruji golvalkar, addressing us RSS cadre in kesav memorial high school play ground in hyderabad, wherein mainly he cautioned on three attractions employed by outsiders—kaamini, kaanchanam,  prashamsha to win the loyalties and undermine

 this was in the context of a reputed journal blitz 's reputed editor rk karanjia   getting award from  outside, for his slanted views . 

The golden caution , ever fresh in me, seeing me through the career and professional life

   is this a global village

here citizen's life no count?
uno where is it, has any say or only helpless?
where is the humanity of ruler to protect the people?
an army and against the unarmed, where is the match?
is this a modern age or gone reversed in history?
as indian, i feel for indians there.
as human being, i feel for the loss of life at the hands of a cruelest creature.
all due to not knowing the meaning and purpose of life,
an animal existence, lacking any consideration for others.
how long this continues
how many deaths?
human animal needs to be tamed by the best/worst means available,
to contain his vikruth nature, by whoever and urgently.
