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.
