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,...

No Mind? Mind!





Psychology says quality of life depends on how much you can concentrate and what you concentrate on. The book "RAPT" is a great example of this statement as how quality of life can be changed by just having a positive perception towards something. Mind in its own place can make a heaven of hell and a hell of heaven.

Swami Ranganathananda said, "When I close my eyes I find peace within and when I open my eyes my attitude is what can I do for you."But now-a-days the psychology is totally reversed. As when we close our eyes we find chaos within and when we open our eyes our attitude is what can I get from you. Basically the problem starts here.

The focus which comes out from "selfishness" is a narrow band, which leads to unpleasantness, tension, and frustrated state of mind. Rather the focus which comes from love leads to a pleasant and  peaceful state of mind. Here there is no need of such focusing techniques to gain focus on something.

1400 years back Gaurapada said duality comes from samsara and non-duality is freedom. Whereas Shankaracharya said duality is bondage and non-duality is liberation.Where there is mind there is duality and where there is no-mind there is non-duality. Duality is simply experience of this world on this mind. When mind becomes no mind, no more duality and no more sansara. Meditation is the key which creates a sense of mind to no-mind.

TODAY'S PSYCHOLOGY IS SAMSARA IS RESTLESS SO THE MIND IS RESTLESS BUT ACTUALLY THE MIND IS RESTLESS SO THERE IS A EXISTENCE OF SAMSARA.

In this materialistic era the existence of mind is supreme where there is duality and the existence of no-mind does not have any existence where there is non-duality.

NOW THE CHOICE IS YOURS WHAT TO CHOOSE.

    Correctly said life is illusion between duality to non duality.

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...
