All elements of this universe, dead or alive, are incomplete, only the Brahma, the omnipresent universe, is complete and perfect. Life repeats in the cycle of rebirths-deaths “Punraapi Jananam Maranam”, in this world, due to this incompleteness. One has to repeatedly enter this world, and engage in the same activities. A baby lying within the womb of his mother is in the form of the Brahma and is fully connected to the divine realm. However, upon birth, his subconscious gets influenced by those around him, and the newborn gradually transitions from perfection to imperfection. He starts feeling lonely within the crowd of his own relatives, as he struggles with a new issue daily. This daily dredge tires him out, and remembering divine, he expresses through agony through tears in front of the idols.
Everyone has his own understanding. They cannot exceed the limitations of that comprehension. Only those who eradicate all perceptions can sense past this. However, your God is the God of fear. All of your Gods are made of fear. I want to remind you of the God who manifests in love, instead of dread. The Almighty manifests in love and prayers. The body always goes after the mind. If the mind has to go to the temple of God, then the body takes it to the temple of God. If it wishes to taste sweets, then the body goes to the sweets shop. It is always with you, even when you want to steal or donate. The body serves you through enjoyment, lust, or laziness. Whatever action you take, this body is always with you, as a slave of the mind.
Therefore, it is necessary to alter your mind and the process of changing the mind is meditation, instead of renunciation. You do not need to torture or torment the body. Rather, you should awaken the dormant consciousness, to come out of the stupor. The basic meaning of renunciation – “Sanyaas” for me is to observe, and this world is the most convenient opportunity for observation, and that is why God has given you this world.
Just as this universe cannot survive without Lords Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, similarly the Gods also cannot achieve Their perfection without Mothers Mahasaraswati, Mahalakshmi, and Mahakali. Therefore, this world needs these Manhadevis, as much as it needs Tridevs. If you have knowledge but lack wealth, then you will struggle throughout your life in adversities. Similar if you possess knowledge-wisdom and wealth, but are surrounded in your life by foes conspiring against you, then this life cannot be termed perfect. If, however, you possess wealth and strength to overpower the foes, but do not possess the wisdom to appropriately utilize these wealth and strength, then also you will face difficult adversities in your life, and will not be able to make your life perfect. Therefore, it is necessary to have the consciousness of Mothers Saraswati, Durga, and Lakshmi equally in life.
Life belongs to those who are liberated from the calculations, who rise above this petty balancing, those who exceed and live with love. Life is theirs, who live with heart, and those who have life, they have the divine. For those who live life, their joy is not tomorrow, in the future, or after death, rather their joy is now and here. This joy exists within this life. It is joyful, full of Perfection. However, the man follows a certain logic – When tired, it immediately goes to another extreme. Probably, it tries to explore the contrary way, when the current plan did not succeed. Only a solid material can have a shadow. You can see a shadow of the body, not the soul. You cannot see the shadow of fully transparent glass. The soul is not a substance, it is pure consciousness, and cannot form a shadow. The body gets left behind, only the soul travels to the hereafter. How can a Soul have a shadow!
In life, only the person who possesses energy can achieve superiority. Here, energy refers to self-confidence, which derives from Sadhanatmak determination. This determination that – I am starting this task with my life, mind, and entire energy. This determined engagement is the mother of success in all spheres. In fact, determination is the image of tenacity and actions. It imbibes multiple accomplishments and blessings. Do not consider yourself to be incapable, incapacitated, or helpless. Terminate such thoughts – “How will we be able to progress in the absence of resources?” Always remember – The source of energy lies not in the means, but within determination and confidence. If you have a strong desire and wish to achieve superiority and perfection in life, then ignore the lack of resources that is visible to you today, rather any person can lead a life full of joy by achieving perfection by maximizing development, with full determination.
A person trusts others throughout his life, always expects from others, but not from his own self. Almighty God gifted us this human life as an instrument to accomplish actions to achieve all supreme desires, wishes, and perfect Totality. We can utilize this to achieve perfection in our physical and spiritual life. It is possible only in this life because neither are we aware of the life-form which we had in previous lives nor do we know which life-form we will take birth in future life.
No matter how intelligent, talented, and powerful a man may be, but lack of faith in self turns even the scholar into a stupid. A confident person organizes his powers and channels them in one direction, to perform streamlined activities to achieve perfection. Physical and mental powers work through the self-confidence of the person. The ability to believe in your own self, and trust in your own powers, is such a divine quality, that it enables noble courage, thoughts, and abilities to achieve success in all realms. Dependency upon others reduces your strengths and continually causes obstacles to the fulfillment of your desires. For example, lack of willpower is the biggest obstacle in meditation. If you possess a determination to enter meditation, then no power in this world can stop you. Therefore, whatever path you choose in this life, physical worldly, domestic life, or your profession – business, or a spiritual path to accomplish siddhis, witness divinity or enter spirituality, you can succeed only through continuous determination and conscious power.
With divine blessings,
Kailash Shrimali
