Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Instead of starting with the miseries of human being, we will learn today, through some of the lines taken from the last few posts, the tree of human life in terms of happiness, starting from Man as God to Man as man!!
THE GRAND TRUTH
Let us go through few lines from the last week’s posts, which converge on one single truth
I QUOTE
“you were always He, though you did not know it so far". - Swami
"You are that Joy. You are the image of happiness. God is the one who is always happy, and you are the image of God". - Swami Satchitananda
"Are as many as waves on the sleepless sea. Oh, Heaven is within you". - Swami Rama Tirtha
"The reality is within your own dwelling. The truth is here”. - Swami
THUS, INSTEAD OF STARTING WITH OUR CHAOTIC STATE AT PRESENT, WE HAVE STARTED WITH THE 1ST STEP AS THE LAST REALIZATION- “YOU ARE ALWAYS HE, YOU ARE THAT JOY, YOU ARE THE IMAGE OF HAPPINESS”
FACT 1
WE, THOUGH ARE VERILY HE, THE GOD, ARE UNABLE TO EXIST 24/7 AS SAI. I WOULD HOPE THAT THERE CAN BE NO CONTRADICTION TO THIS FACT IN HUMAN LIFE, EXCEPT FOR REALIZED MASTERS
FACT 2
This fact is subtle and often not realized by we human. we are the image of happiness, god himself as per the grand truth above but we are unable to exist as that God 24/7 as per fact 1.
so, what happens????? like we observe in the world around us, though a man can act in various ways, project so many different images of himself as per the need of the hour, the real nature /chracter of the man always remains in tact and on close observations, no matter how he acts, what he does, one can make out the real nature of that man. Similarly, though man is not able to exist as god, the source of happiness, still, in every act, in every walk of his life, he is always in search of that true happiness because, THAT TRUE HAPPINESS IS REAL NATURE.
WE ARE UNAWARE OF THE TRUTH IS THAT HE IS GOD AND GOD IS LOVE/ TRUE HAPPINESS BUT AT SUBTLEST LEVEL, THIS TRUTH IS ALWAYS THERE WITHIN AND HENCE, THIS VERY TRUTH PROPELS MAN TO SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS IN EACH AND EVERY ACT HE DOES, EACH AND EVERY PURSUIT IN HIS LIFE
FACT 3
“……Kabir compares human beings to fish who complain about being thirsty, without realising that they can drink the water they're swimming in.”
(From Swami’s saying, posted on 10.12.2016)
Our search for happiness, our own nature, has thus begun, unfortunately not within, but in the world around us.
Lo and behold, every other human is in search of the same search of real happiness. Since one can search only a treasure which he thinks as not with him already, we are all imperfect, inherently unhappy, searching for happiness outside!
In the process, we are hitting/ facing/encountering each other, searching for that real happiness in each other whereas all of us have started this search ever since we became conscious of ourselves in our child hood, because we firmly believed that we are already not THAT TRUE HAPPINESS/ LOVE/ GOD- THE GRAND TRUTH!!
Let us take the above Grand truth and 3 facts for today, think on the same in our evening walk/ in our relaxed hour during the day, come face to face with these facts which are often hidden not because they are secretive in nature but because- WE HAVE BEEN SPENDING OUR LIFE IN DISCOVERING/ SEEING/ KNOWING WHAT IS OUTSIDE US AND HAVE MISSED IN DISCOVERING THE ABOVE FACTS WHICH ARE WITHIN US AND NOT EVEN THE ALLMIGHTY BUT IT IS WE WHO CAN KNOW THESE FACTS AS EASILY AS WE CAN SEE OUR FACE IN THE MIRROR.
Will continue with further facts tomorrow
Love
