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,...

TEACHINGS OF HOLY MOTHER




One needs to do some work. People can only get rid of the shackles of work by working, they do not run away from work. Complete removal comes later. A person cannot remain idle for a moment.

"Everything must be patient, because all our places are determined by actions. Likewise, actions will be canceled by actions. If we do good things, we eliminate the bad things of the past. Past sins can be overcome through meditation, japa and spiritual meditation. 

There are very few people who can think and practice Japa at all times. In the beginning, they apply these teachings seriously, but in the long run, their brains warm up by sitting on the prayer rugs over and over again. They are very arrogant. They also experience emotional stress due to thinking about different things. It is better to work on your emotions than to let them go. Because when the mind has free space to travel, it causes a lot of stress. Naren (Swami Vivekananda) thought about these and created intelligence with which humans can work without self.

There is no doubt that we have to fulfill our duty. It improves one's heart. But the practice of japa, meditation and prayer is also very important. We should practice these disciplines at least in the morning and evening. This application is like the rudder of a ship.

Hello everyone, if you like this please help support it. We may think that we are above money and that once we give it away we will feel no attraction towards it. But we should not keep such thoughts alive in our hearts. It entered our hearts through a tiny hole, gave us peace, and slowly disappeared.

The heart is everything. People who feel good and are not clean exist only in the heart. A person must first expose his own heart to sin in order to see the sins of others. We should not harm others, even verbally. Don't share even unpleasant facts unless necessary. It is human nature to use bad language. If a person cannot control his speech, he loses sensitivity. 

Sri Ramakrishna once said: "One should not ask a lame person how he became lame."

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...
