Karma as the Source of Diversity

The vedas acknowledge divine karma as the origin of all creation, preservation, and destruction. However, since God does not have desires, unlike humans, he is not constrained by them. In the first chapter of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (1.6.1), we discover that karma is one of the three main causes of diversity, alongside name and form. The variety in names is a result of speech, and the variety in forms is a result of the eye, while the mind and body are the sources for the variety in actions. For every action, the body serves as the source, the controller, or the lord.  Within the body, the mind, speech, breath, organs of action, and organs of perception are regarded as the primary deities who receive sustenance from the body and carry out their respective functions. Nevertheless, we cannot solely depend on them to combat the impurities and the malevolent forces that can infiltrate our body, as they are susceptible to evil and demonic influences, thoughts, desires, temptations,...

AHAM BRAHMA + ATMA CHINTAN



        



  This blog will give you all a short but true glance towards our life, only if we compare our life with the state of 'Atma Chintan'. Not only the youth but every human being have set his/her own parameter of objective happiness. Although not only happiness but every feeling. On the other hand humans mostly run after their goals in the desire to get that objective happiness when they achieve the success. This difference of the state of 'Atma Chintan' is to be questioned in this blog.

          Atma Chintan is basically self reflection or introspection. Here self reflection leads one to a great change. But this self reflection should be done in a perfect direction. Mostly we blame the situation for bad things happening in our life. But we don't concentrate and question ourselves to get the solution. This difference of attitude towards someone's 'Atma Chintan' could lead someone to a great change. "A change in a perfect direction can lead someone to it's growth and that growth will definitely lead someone to a great change". 'Atma Chintan' will develop a peace within yourself. As it deals one to one with you. But the 'Atma Chintan' whole world believes in is to get short and temporary happiness. This step taken are from the brain but not from the soul.

          So, here the straight and the true solution to get permanent happiness is 'Atma Chintan'. Hereby we have to choose the real success and happiness which we really want in our life. And for permanent happiness 'Atma Chintan' is the only path to follow because there is no short cut in our life.

          The root cause of 'Aham Brahmasmi' is based on 'Atma Chintan'. In my first blog I had questioned 'Aham Brahmasmi'. But the correct meaning of it is "The whole universe is within us, we are not a part of this universe". To understand such a simple statement the only key to it is 'Atma Chintan'. It can make a person to reach it's soul's depth. So,the state of 'Aham Brahmasmi' can only be understood when 'Atma Chintan' is done in a perfect way.

SILENT MIND

What are we? Is our notion of self real? How does it come into existence? Is it the sum total of our experiences and awareness? Or is it a mere notion sustained by a few persistent memories, attachments and desires? Are we the sum total of a few selected thoughts and memories or all thoughts and memories? Are we sustained by a few aspects of our past or all our past? Do we come into existence by the association of these thought and memories, or do we exist without them? If we are a selection of thoughts and memories, what happens to us when we enter into deep sleep? Do we still exist then? Such were the questions the Upanishadic seers explored in ancient India several thousands of years ago to know the secrets of existence. In doing so they followed a very unique method to minimize the interference of the mind and transcend its limitations. They silenced their minds and allowed the higher knowledge to manifest itself in their consciousness. We can do it even today. There are two types ...

PRECAP FOR BETTER RECAP

Five core Upanishad philosophies that can be learnt for managing our day-to-day life much better and looking at this blog as a precap for a better recap for this optimistic new year. 1. Samsara, Reincarnation The concept of samsara is prevalent in the Upanishads. Samsara, Sanskrit for, “wandering,” is the cycle of being. It represents reincarnation, the concept adopted by several Eastern religions of being reborn after you die according to the karmic cycle. Regardless of our personal beliefs, there’s something important to be taken from the samsara. Samsara tells us that all of life is in flux. The great wheel of life continues to turn, and nothing is ever stagnant: This vast universe is a wheel, the wheel of Brahman. Upon it are all creatures that are subject to birth, death, and rebirth. Round and round it turns and never stops. Samsara suggests that energy cannot be destroyed or diminished. It is simply transmuted. And it really is quite a poetic perspective on the cycle of deat...

MUNDAKA UPANISHAD (PART 3-3)

THIRD MUNDAKA   FIRST KHANDA 1. Two birds, inseparable friends, cling to the same tree. One of them cats the sweet fruit, the other looks on without eating. 2. On the same tree man sits grieving, immersed, bewildered by his own impotence (an-isa). But when he sees the other lord (isa) contented and knows his glory, then his grief passes away. 3. When the seer sees the brilliant maker and lord (of the world) as the Person who has his source in Brahman, then he is wise, and shaking off good and evil, he reaches the highest oneness, free from passions; 4. For he is the Breath shining forth in all beings, and he who understands this becomes truly wise, not a talker only. He revels in the Self, he delights in the Self, and having performed his works (truthfulness, penance, meditation, &c.) he rests, firmly established in Brahman, the best of those who know Brahman. 5. By truthfulness, indeed, by penance, right knowledge, and abstinence must that Self be gained; the Self whom spotles...
