Destination
Sometimes I wonder! At the end of the day, what do I want from anyone? What do I want that I don’t already have? I can take lots from others if they are in the mood to give. But then? It is a one sided energy exchange, Isn’t it?
So, then I need to return that
energy. And I have no clue how clean and pure intentioned energy it was that I internalized
due my desires. It has taken me a while to understand this concept no his truth!
Now I see clearly why saints
always gave of themselves. Their energies are so pure that humans can only
benefit from them.
In Bhagvad Gita, the concept of
surrender is the automatic merging with that pure energy which starts to drive
your life when you withdraw from that ego state that wrongly thinks that YOU
are doing whatever is happening in your life.
You know, aircrafts that are
aided by the direction of the winds reach their destination faster. Similarly,
when the Lord becomes our charioteer like HE was Arjun’s, Arjun never returned
to his earlier state of confusion. His dharma was the aircraft aided by the
grace of the Almighty.
When you start to see this,
everything becomes the will of God. HE guides you through the storms, protects
you from adverse experiences and helps you across from this end to that end …
smooth passage for our soul!

Sympathize
If we recorded our daily output of words and played them back to ourselves, how many words would be those of criticism and gossip of others?
The state of our minds can be
really understood by this exercise.
I am sure most of us realize what
we are saying and the intention behind what we are saying. It is just the
compulsion to say it that is often suspect, even disturbing.
Speech is a gift we need to use
very carefully. Even when we sympathize with people without this gift, we don’t
mend our ways.
If we cannot say a good word, it
is better not to say anything. For the sake our own minds which will get
polluted and we then have the extra work to clean them up.
Why not then just be quiet and
peaceful and watch the world go by? Instead of taking on unnecessary piles of
rubbish that was never yours to carry in the first place.

Environment
What can be more healing than nature? This is why all the hill stations are visited regularly. There is something about concrete jungles that disturbs the peace. Also, because we ourselves probably cannot handle the stress of city life. We are as concretized within our desires and therefore fail to give ourselves a spiritual perspective of the temporary nature of everything around us. Space gives us a sense of the infinite. Cities generally do not. We must find our own environment, within and without, to become peaceful.
