WHAT IS THE STRUGGLE FOR?

What is the struggle for?

STRUGGLE for existence - race for property, possession, money, investments, power

STRUGGLE for knowledge - race for degrees, honours, doctrates, know how

STRUGGLE for happiness - race for objects, beings, places, events

Struggle for EXISTENCE - KNOWLEDGE - HAPPINESS?

Struggle for       SAT     -     CHIT        -  ANANDA?

The pursuit is in vain. The struggle is a vicious cycle when implemented in this manner. Achievement lies in ending the struggle and not in continuing it. The moment you end, the moment you know, YOU ARE WHAT YOU SEEK! The moment you know, the moment you get it!

Shall I then stop all my activities and stay idle for getting what I want?

A mental blue print of the struggle is the driving factor behind all struggles in action.

The blue print production is the site which requires a halt.

Once this non stop blue print revision and production stops, you will be recieving the blue print for the real pursuit. In a state of silence, there opens a way leading to what you seek.

When this way is opened, you plunge into activity devoid of struggles.

You work, unaffecting the state of Sat - Chit - Ananda inside.

This is the best!

RELAX. REALISE. RELEASE YOURSELF INTO ACTION!

The struggle ends and the action begins.

The Action rooted in Sat - Chit - Ananda!

INTELLIGENT WAY OF LIVING

The life of man what he assumes to be may be compared to a machine.

He assumes the power that runs the machine is the INTELLECT.
Therefore, he tries to be an intellectual man by gaining more education, more know hows, more plans, more savings and the like. He leads an intellectual way of living.

The body of the machine with all its component parts forms the PHYSICAL STRUCTURE of the individual.
In the intellectual way of living, man assumes that the machine i.e. the physical structure runs with the power of intellect. Therefore, he focuses only on feeding his intellect and running his body with the knowledge gained.

But the machine will not run for long in this state of affairs.
The power to run and the physical structure alone will not make things move.

There exists a third component namely the MIND.
Mind is the lubrication that enables the smooth movement of component parts.
It ensures quality functioning of the machine.
In its absence, the friction between parts become greater till a point where the machine comes to a halt even in the presence of the driving power.
Mind is equally important.

And then man realises his assumption to be wrong.
It is not the intellect which makes the machine move.

It is THE POWER DIVINE, that is the actual mover of things and beings.
To the man of the intellect, this may sound absurd.
Because he believes in his intellect. He believes in himself building his life, devoid of a power Supreme.

But once when the machine comes to a standstill, he realises the fact.
Intellect is simply a know how of how the machine runs.
Mind is the lubricating essence.
Body is the physical component.
And the Divine power is actually the power that makes it function.

Then begins his INTELLIGENT WAY OF LIVING.

EVERYTHING IS A DECISION

Nothing is an accident.

Everything is a decision.

"Why didn't I know?"

Decisions are both - conscious and unconscious.

At unconscious decisions getting materialised, you blurt out in disappointment, " God, why did you do this to me?"

At conscious decisions getting materialised, you shout in joy, " Yes! I did it."

But the fact remains : YOU DID BOTH!

WHICH IS THE BEST?

Which is the best?
       
 Is it the desire to see?
  Is it the object seen?
   Is it the process of seeing?
    Is it the result of seeing?
     Is it the very power which enables seeing?

THE WORLD AND ME

" Know yourself, to be in the world
                       rather than
   knowing the world, to be yourself "

CAST THEORY OF LIFE

When an individual, at one point of time in his life, stops and ponders deeply, 'What is the real purpose of my life', unto him opens the world of casts.

A cast is a covering an individual gets to fit himself in. With this cast, he is able to function and live fully, happily and at peace.

Every individual has a unique cast exclusively designed for him to fit in. In case, a person tries to fit into that of another, it would turn futile and naturally, he will be forced to turn it down.

This unique cast is set in the world for the right individual to claim it and use it. Its all up to the individual to seek it and redeem it thereof. (Of course its free of cost)

When the individual is introduced into the world of casts, it is not necessary that he find his right cast in the first attempt. The individual may have to do several trials with casts that he gets to use until he picks the right one.

How does an individual know whether the cast he has got is really his? Its simple - It will be the RIGHT FITTING SIZE. (Like how the glass shoe fitted Cinderella's foot alone.)Others are naturally big/small/ tight/ loose/ ill fitting (to be precise). With the right cast, the individual just fits in smooth and once he's in, he moves on comfortably.

 "I've been searching for long, but I never found one- I'm quitting the quest. Let me settle down with what I've found the last." - Terminate this fatalistic attitude. BE PATIENT. The night will not linger throughout. The dawn is close. Its all your choice - to be or not to be. (happy, peaceful, satisfied,etc)

"Hey, I've found a cast which would really fit me, if alone I'd lose some weight" _ You're close. You have indeed found the right one. Then what's this obese body of yours proving to be a hindrance? Its your selfish desires - to think - I alone want to be happy, I want more, I am great person, I must be respected, etc - Some airs of pride and petty selfish desires.

Cast away your tiny narrow thinking to enter into the best cast ever. Forsake them for receiving the best. Drop your petty affairs to enter the world of abundance and magnificence.

OK! You've lost weight. Now you've entered your cast. How do you feel?"Oh! Its beyond words. I've been searching my whole life for this. I'm tremendously happy, peaceful and contented. I now appreciate universal brotherhood, love and peace. I'm in bliss."

Be patient my friend, You've not experienced the Ultimate Bliss. Live on with this cast upon you for some more time. As you continue thus gradually, you'll lose more weight. But believe me, you'll never feel uncomfortable. As you gradually lose weight, you'd feel more and more happy, peaceful and satisfied.

One day this cast will fall away on its own. Because your body can no longer hold it together. When the cast falls away, you'll discover a transformation. You'd find that your body has undergone a cocoon stage and finally you've evolved into a butterfly.

At this stage, you're free for EVER. The beautiful butterfly called YOU can fly freely anywhere.

YOU'VE REACHED THE GOAL.
THE REAL GOAL!
The Ultimate Bliss!

Individual = Seeker

Body = Vasanas

Obesity = Ego

Cast = True purpose of life, your True Being

Losing Obesity = Annihilation of ego

Losing weight = Purgation of vasanas

Transformation = Dawning of divinity

Butterfly = Realised Soul!
