Previously cats were playing in st 
with maximum fun joyfully, 

free, friendly, smiling,
jumping, bumping 

now the cats are caught, 
tied tightly, not knowing for what

with ropes of ranks , 
with hopes on badges 

predominantly trying to display
which is big which is small, 

which is beautiful which is horrible, 
which is rich which is poor

they are all forced to fight and run, 
non stop circling round and round ,

trying to catch a few bones in haste 
with or without meat or taste

 

Divine blogging should not become a rat race or cat walk for popularity 

when supreme has allowed existence of all the creatures,

irrespective of merits demerits, 

why to delete a young seeker on suspicion of irregularities 

and bringing down his reputation, creating a hurt

instead , 

tell him what were the irregularities openly and ask his reply, 

then take a decision 
.
after all the allegations cannot be always true 

i pity that seeker who got good rating, but dumped because of it , just because some one complained

Previously cats thronged to satsang charmed by the spirituality, 

truth, originality, virginity, 

clarity, maturity
pristine purity, beauty, 

now there is no charm, no inspiration, 
no enlightenment , no enchantment 

only enforcement 
of entertainment, 

so they are being lured with '' gift rats ''
for their rants, chants, 

laments, comments,
tormenting torrents

no more a inquisitive spirit
being intent only on head counts

  

Bliss only can assist a Seeker to achieve Mental Discipline, not vice versa
since
in the state of bliss, the senses turn inward, attracted by the charm of absolute, where they get the best of what they are searching for, the nectar of life and one becomes naturally averse to lower pleasures, thru the cravings of the mind for sensual gratification and cravings for all insignificant joys constantly flickering, and with uncontrolled indiscipline 

an employee can be more disciplined if he tastes the great joy of accomplishment and thus in joyfulness , does not need a self/imposed discipline his work will be a tapasya, without boss trying to put him on the work, but he continuing to work on his own thru odd hours beyond the limits of working hours

 

What creates joy in the work is the freedom of free mind without the beatings of a discipline- cane.
any restriction makes the mind to revolt and run a way finding escape routes, excuses, 

but if the person is intent in the joy in the doing of work, he continues to be productively contributing than any one can , with imposed discipline on the mind

 

Even thyagaraj the great master saint erred on this horse cart relation 

and blurted out wrongly ''shantamu leka saukhyamu ledu ''

but the truth is '' saukhyamu leka shantamu ledu ''

best creation is possible in the state of ananda, not in the process of controlling the mind by disciplining it to do this way that way 

it is validated by 

anando brahma

creation happens in bliss, not in artificial obstructions on the mind which never can succeed in reaching bliss

…………………………………………..

 

I am giving a different truth learnt from my master, not to contend surely

1 pain leads to sapping of mental energies 

as a result of the most valuable attention getting diverted 

frittered weakened and wasted 

2 the fear leads to pretense false hood, make believe, please the boss, escape attention, always in anxiety stress disease death just to escape punishment, never it can lead it to free unlimited creativity in the performance and output 

great performers never work under fear nor when they are in pain and agony 
their performance is best in ecstasy, more a divine Ecstasy 

they are addicted to the pleasure of success and more success, and are willing to launch new adventures , bliss makes the performance most enjoyable, since attention is available to focus in fullest measure , without being wasted in exercises / impositions on mental discipline 

this point is to be understood very thoroughly 
it is a art of karma sukaushalam, skill in action, for that first requisite is arjun, yogastha, first and then kuru karmani 

it is not the otherway , i hope you got the point

 

 

For a child who finds delight in learning, nothing of cane or convincing taking into confidence --all nothing required 

all these are due to his not finding happy 

so modern teaching is now finding ways to teach the learning by playing all in joy , no force mild or implied 

cssy is a great programme for child up bringing

police, army, now private schools ---every day we find news of torture.
since they are poor fellows do not know the fundamentals of life , these are old ways rather wrong ways 

arjun was not given advice /imposition
he was shown the simplest self-sufficient  technique, to be instantly yogastha and perform action, things follow 

now factories are training the staff in novel ways to make the assignment a bliss eliminating the need of any external influences mild or harsh                                                                                                                   this is the difficulty , damage resulting out of some masters teaching own wrong grasp on the most fundamental nature of life, misleading the seekers so much that they loose all the chances of bliss in the entire life by their '' cart before horse ,'' approach ., and driving god away to a far off distant to the next janma, or after future remote many janmas, where as all that can be achieved can happen instantly now and here 

read ''a new commentary on bhagavathgeetha'' by maharishi 

that is why, our tradition has been to initiate the youngsters earliest in life by ''upanayana '' sanskar, the process of instantly opening the sub- eye, the eye of awareness, the third eye of shiva is thru which the youth stats feeling the bliss and gets oriented to all good behaviour effortless, without impositions of dos, donts, since he experiences the absolute instantly 

now this sanskar became extinct / lost meaning/purpose thru ignorant masters imparting their ignorant ways , without any results even with wrong results.

and naturally any talk by me cannot be comprehended unless the reader has the experience of absolute, the light of life 

and so humanity continues to suffer, problems repeat, crime happens , diseases spread, 
all the narak , where as swarga is our birth right, and a sure possibility right from the childhood

 

One who has no bliss, though knowing the consequences of negative behavior , persists in negative behavior hence crime is repeating though harsh punishment is being given 
the human bomb knows he will die, yet he explodes , this is the worst consequences of innocents brainwashed thru all kinds of disciplining the mind including the mildness, saying you will go to heaven if you kill the nonbelievers 
i say any external imposition is bad, ruins by conditioning , what ever may be its form, including offering sweet or sweet words

to swing to the most natural pattern one must come out of all the conditioning, by reaching bliss directly first, 
read jk ''freedom from the known''

 

I am emphatic on the right teaching, i find even some masters here in st, have no right grasp , and consistently blurting out defective teachings , and innocent seekers are giving free praise on the stuff delivered , not their mistake , because they think that masters are great and their teaching may be all good

but i find very few good /true masters like ashuthosh, i can easily assess who has the experience of absolute , who is just groping in darkness, reading scriptures blindly 

my comments like this are not palatable, but i still continue to point out the defects , not out of jealousy hatred but out of love and concern for the right teaching 

and when such masters /bloggers read my replies, they do not like, and brand me as arrogant , since they expect praise and blind followers

 who has seen the wind 

neither you nor i

but when the trees bow their heads , wind is passing by’’

so let me be happy with wind,

not trying to bother it by wanting to see it

i am happy  just to feel its presence everywhere, ,

in gently moving the leaves, caressing the ripples, , shooting up dust  and dry leaves in a whirlwind,

breathing in breathing out ,

a life sustained, not minding smoke, , smell so foul.

when the hair on my skin move, , i feel its ticklish presence 

with out throwing its weight around , it moves weights,

showing me to do the work, silently without noise without making my presence felt

perhaps god is not seen that is why, running the universe, unseen, unheard, physically not  distracting any one

let him do his work , let me do mine, in the same way if possible

 

What is god? god is that most powerful nonentity by which universe is getting managed.  it is not seen , but due to which all seen scene happens .  no name , no physical. chemical properties , this supreme power......this can be elaborated Who is god? this question is not applicable since god is non entity, not individual, no biodata, no physical characteristics. it is un manifest, nothing , no person , Where is god? since it is unseen, this question is superfluous. if you search, anywhere in the temple... or in sky , ocean, star... no where you can find him. this is direct answer. then how do you conclude his presence? come home nearest to your body , into your mind, you find that some thoughts are coming out ,  pursue the thoughts to their origin, where thought just sprouts, and you will find that it is sprouting from nothing deep inside you Without your intentions the thoughts are getting created, and each a specific to do certain things. so we conclude that the '' nothing'' is the origin and it is inside us so god is inside us at the source of thought, in formless state ie nothing. now you know what god is ,where he is since we all get thoughts, so he must me in you , in me , in every being. and things are working all sun moon stars planets, rivers, driven similarly so god exists every where but yet unseen, but in all power to run things. Is there one god? yes there is one god that is supreme all powerful, unseen, present every where, a never ending continuum, all expansive, not localized, not bounded. are there many gods? yes there are many gods number in crores. then is not contradicting? no ,not contradiction  let us understand the difference between ''one god'' and ''many gods'' ''gods''--what/who/where are they and what are their functions ''richo akshare parame vyoman yasmin deva adhi vishve nisheduhu. yasthannaveda kim richa karishyathi'' knowledge is stuctured in consciousness, the pure field of creative intelligence,beyond the subtlest thinking level, the pure awareness, the pure being , in which reside the impulses of creative intelligence, the laws of nature responsible for the whole creation he whose awareness is not open to this level of life, what can these accomplish for him gods are=laws of nature gods reside =in pure awareness, one supreme god gods' function is to=governing the whole creation, the universe now the discussion rises from components to system level, where individual entities no matter, but system matters ,  system is the subtle body of organization defines organization structure, levels of authority responsibility, duties/functions, inter relations, communication channels, all for smooth running of the org effectively towards the set goals universe is the org one god is the supreme ceo. many gods are departmental heads goal is evolution of consciousness from inert to pure consciousness 14 bhuvanas/lokas are the arenas/ locations jeevas/pranikoti are the branch offices assigned with the tasks and delegated with powers ie intelligence and energy then, who are this brahma vishnu maheshvar with their elaborate dress weapons outfits, their antics REPLYDELETE

And my submission always has been that  anything other than self realization is far less, to comprehend the true and full import of scriptures REPLYDELETE

Like

'''But exsisting Gods-''-----gods are existing for ever, ever alert, without a wink, ''animesha'' is their one description, the one who does not close the eyes system exists , entities come and go gods are system components, so eternally existing REPLYDELETE

"are there many gods? yes there are many gods number in crores." ------------------------------------------- How do you know? And my submission always has been that  any thing other than self realization is far less, to comprehend the true and full import of scriptures not possible to convince, it's a matter to be verified and confirmed by one's own efforts, reaching inside,----of course with guru guidance REPLY

Be it in a human form,
Be it in the form of Gods,
Be it in the form of animal,
That wanders the forests and hills,
Be it in the form of mosquito,
Be it in the form of a domestic animal,
Be it in the form of a worm,
Be it in the form of flying birds,
Or be it in any form whatsoever,
If always the mind is engaged in play,
Of meditation in thine lotus like feet,
Which are the waves of supreme bliss,
Then what does it matter,
Whatever body we have.

The rich will make temples for Shiva.
What shall I, a poor man, do?
My legs are pillars,
The body the shrine,
The head a cupola of gold.
Listen, O lord Kudal Sangama deva,
Things standing shall fall,
But the moving ever shall stay

proving presence of true divinity in sikhism, and nanak is really a great reincarnation fulfilling those times, and tradition is continuing to flow in devotional music bhajan keerthan , with active lively participation by all ............dress code relevant to those days may change gradually, and new saints will be born to update the teachings , of course the core principles will remain for ever

 state of absolute bliss

1 Every human being can obtain the state of “absolute bliss” initially by --experiencing--and understanding the self 

understanding without experiencing the self is very difficult, even impossible once this experience is gained , one starts living the state of okness

ie, he finds all are ok, every thing is ok, as is, as are, without expecting without waiting, without insisting any change to happen from any one, from any thing, from any where, instantly"

"AHIMSA PRATISTHAYAM TAT SANNIDHAU VAIRA TYAGAH" 

"It is all a win win , all win situation , it is described and prescribed by a scriptural injunction '' in the vicinity of divinity there can not be any negativity' 

"Some times even genuine good intentions will be perceived as malice due to one's own inadequacies and conditioning resulting out of past experiences ''good intentions'', is only individual's contextual definition since good is relative what is good for one may not be good for others sarvejana sukhino bhavanthu we repeat but we go by self interest first

real good intentions are possible only in the ultimate level of self realization , such intentions do good to all, unconditional"

2with the experience of absolute, ie self, instantly , one starts feeling unity, ie myness with every one, every thing, with the whole universe , and a feeling of universal love starts overflowing, as if all are parts of his own being, like his own limbs never we dislike any part of our body , we love and take care every part of body be it hands, fingers, eyes, nose, nails, or hair irrespective of their functions and appearance, and location, with all uniqueness so in the state of this myness, the ownership of the universe, in the over flowing love there will not be seen any negativity what so ever, without needing an understanding, convincing, argument, requesting, cajoling, compromising, it is all a win win , all win situation , it is described and prescribed by a scriptural injunction '' in the vicinity of divinity there cannot be any negativity'

3so for any problems of discord, disharmony, hurt, dispute, suspicion, hatred, jealousy, leg pulling, discourtesy, heckling, nuisance, insult, disagreement, dislike, harm, disturbance, excitement anger, incitement , insinuation, ill treatment, denigration, denial, domineering, rebutting, dividing, obstructing, blocking, elbowing, from any one , from any encounter, solution is within, not out side 

 once this solution is activated within, the same difficult incidents, and situations will turn out into valuable inputs, precious raw materials, nourishing manure for creating artistic master pieces , all as if god himself has kindly blessed 

guidance makes it all easy, and possible, and quick

if not, it is not at all easy

and one starts flowing into song and dance,

in nonchalance,

nothing to bother, but finding friendship

with all the shipwrecked forlorn brothers 

Deewaron se milkar rona achcha lagta hai

Hum bhi paagal ho jayenge, aisa lagta hai 

Duniya bhar ki yaaden humse milne aati hain

Shaam dhale is soone ghar mein mela lagta hai

Hum bhi paagal ho jayenge, aisa lagta hai 

Kitne dinon ke pyase honge yaaron socho to

Shabnam ka katra bhi jinko dariya lagta hai

Hum bhi paagal ho jayenge, aisa lagta hai 

Kisko Qaiser pathar maroon kaun paraya hai

Sheesh-mahal mein ek ek chehra apna lagta hai

Hum bhi paagal ho jayenge, aisa lagta hai...PANKAJ UDHAS 

note here great words, great experience,

Kisko Qaiser pathar maroon kaun paraya hai

Sheesh-mahal mein ek ek chehra apna lagta hai"

"4 in this blessed state, one will not take sides, will not count a few as friends and other few as foes one feels that all are his best intimate loving kith and kin, playing pranks, enjoying fun in their own way this universal love is experienced not only with human beings, but also with every creature every tree, every article every particle in the universe including the rain, river, flood, ocean, forest, mountains, sky, clouds, moon, sun, stars,one finds that he is himself pervading in the entire universe, all as if are his own reflections" 

 once this solution is activated within, the same difficult incidents, and situations will turn out into valuable inputs, precious raw materials, nourishing manure for creating artistic master pieces , all as if god himself has kindly blessed"
