Dear All,
The above quote covers the essence of purushartha, freewill, purpose of birth, use of higher intellect / discrimination, single pointed devotion - all the posts, all the themes covered till now in the blog.
How does a lotus blossom?? It is born in the pool of dirty water, it sustains in that dirty water!! Still, it opens its petal to receive the sun rays when the sun dawns and with that strength, it blossoms and gives delight to any one who see it.
Thus, we as human, irrespective of the environment in which we are, irrespective of the bad prarabdha we suffer, must open up the petal of our hearts to receive the sunshine of God(love and grace of God) and blossom as a spiritual soul, as God man!!
Most unfortunate thing about human life is that we are so demoralized, so disheartened by the impact of our prarabdha karma, the miseries in our life fetched by us due to our own action in our past lives that when a master walks into our life, when God's call comes to us as sunshine, we keep the petal of our heart closed instead of opening it and receiving the grace of Lord's sunshine.
Love.
