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,...

IS MY SIGNATURE MY RESPONSIBILITY?


The real meaning of Shraddha is "SELF CONFIDENCE". And in my upcoming series of blogs I am going to post the 3 steps to have complete Shraddha towards work. This blog would contain the first and most important topic which is responsibilty. People create their own signature by their act of responsibility.

 Starting from our ancient time, in Mahabharata Dhritarashtra replied Lord Krishna that he was blind; Bhishma Pitamah also told Lord Krishna that he was committed to his own commitment; here they made their own signature by their act of responsibility.

  • There are 6 major act of responsibility towards our life:-
  1. Achieving my desire: There are so many desires in our life which never ever end, so this desires aren't to be controlled, the thing which is to be done is being that capable to fulfill my desire is my responsibility. 
  2. Quality of my work: Because of the high rate of population there are many people to do the work but the one who is admired is for doing the same work but has added some more value to it which can further get much better results.
  3. Quality of my behavior: Our act to behave/react to something creates a portrait of our nature in a person's mind which is good to be created great.
  4. Quality of my speech: Our responsibility of speech doesn't end until the person who is listening understands what we communicate.
  5. My Values: We should do the right things and also make others to do the right thing. Show and gain respect by respecting others values of life.
  6. My Happiness: In spite the happiness being within us we wait for others to make us happy.
NOW THE BIGGEST QUESTION IS, "WHY DO WE BLAME OTHERS? Swami Vivekananda said that we have many goals in our life but we should select the highest amongst them. This is the key to success as when we do this, we give our 100% with full concentration to achieve that goal.

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...
