Always respect your
consciousness.
The
principal that operate in the outer universe, discoverable by scientist, are
called natural laws. But there are subtler laws that rule the hidden spiritual
planes and the inner real of consciousness; these principles are knowable
through the science of yoga. It is not the physicist but the self realized
master who comprehends the true nature of matter. By such knowledge Christ was
able to restore the servant’s ear after it had been severed by one of the
disciples.
Keen
intelligence is two-edged. It may be used constructively or destructively, like
a knife, either to cut the boil of ignorance or to decapitate oneself.
Intelligence is rightly guided only after the mind has acknowledged the inescapability
of spiritual laws.
O
Man! Rise above your present level. Bring a change into your present nature.
Come out of all your boundaries – be it individual, social, communal or racial,
and lead a higher kind of life, full of spiritual qualities—peace, light, joy,
truth. You will see what a blissful state it is too live in the height and the
vastness of the Consciousness, what a freedom and joy is there. We feel
lightness in ourselves. There is no burden, no tension of any kind that level,
the shadow of ego and the forge of anger touch not; we are above the pangs of
violence, malice and ill-will. We remain safe from the restlessness of
impulses. There is, no trace of fear of danger. The slavery of senses and the
quagmire of delusion are far away. The heart is full of love and affection for
everyone. The life is splashed with splendor of the self and illumined by its
light.
A
life that flow in the sunshine of the inner Godhead is within our reach today.
If we aspire and are prepared to pay the price, we can enter into this new
life, make it our permanent abode. We can come out of over ordinary, dark
narrow and selfish mentality and live free, in the wideness o the spirit and
can help others too, to live in the sane wideness.
Towards the divine life
by Sukhvir Arya
(Sri
Aurobindo Chetana Samaj, Delhi)
When to respect and love every human being
becomes natural for us, and our sincerity becomes transparent, then he pulls us
by our arms, lifts up and taken us into His bosom and showers His love and
grace upon us.
SEVEN
LOKAS
The
worlds or lokas of creation are seven: Bhu, Bhuvar, Swar, Mahar, Jana, Tapo and
Satya. Of these seven planes, the first three (Bhulok, Bhuloka, Bhuvarloka, and
swarloka) comprise the material creation, the kingdom of Darkness, Maya; and
the last three ( Janaloka, Tapoloka and Satyaloka) comprise the spiritual
creation , the kingdom of light. Bhuloka, the sphere of gross matters;
Bhuvarloka , the sphere of fine matters or electric attributes; Swarloka, the
sphere of magnetic poles and auras or electricities.
Maharloka or the sphere
of atom, being in the midst, is said to be the “door”communicating between these two
- the material and the spiritual creation-and is called Dasamadwara, the tenth
door, or Brahmarandhra, the way to divinity.
Janaloka,
the sphere of spiritual reflections, the sons of God; Tapaloka belongs to rishi
and yogi. Satyaloka, the sphere of God, the eternal substance.
It
is known in Islam that khuda (GOD) lives in seventh place or a sky.
SCIENCE
AND SPIRITUALITY
“Science
and spirituality are complementary to each other spirituality without science
is lame and science with spirituality is blind.”
Without
spirituality science cannot be a boom for the society. Without spirituality
science may create various problems like global warming, environment pollution
and then find the solution of the problems. The whole world be happy when we
adopt both science and spirituality simultaneously.
These
are benefits of spirituality
Good Health
Good Habits by self
control and self discipline
Fearlessness
Curiosity, creativity and
capability
Friends, the whole world can be broadly categorized into two
parts science and spirituality.
We
say that the two most imp. asputs of life are science and spirituality.
See
provides us various types of resources and spirituality teacher us the proper
utilization of these resources for the welfare of the humanity.
See
is related with the physical requirements life bread, clothes houses and
various other means. Spirituality is concerned with the art of living, i.e.
positive attitude, moral values and good vitues its.
Progress
in both directions is essential for the bright future of this world.
Friend
each human being is the mixture of three object Body, Mind and Soul.
For healthy body we
require good food and physical exercises.
For
the upliftment of the soul we need high ideas and strong will power. This can
he ashamed through I pray and wish for the over all development of our
students.
Fate, Destiny and Karma
The
Indian explanation of fate is karma. We ourselves are our own fate though our
actions. But the fate created by us blind us; for what we have sown, we must
reap in this life or another. Still we are creating our fate for the future
even while undergoing old fate from the past in the present. That gives a
meaning to our will and action and does not, as European critics wrongly
believe, constitute a rigid and sterilizing fatalism. But again, our will and
action can often annual or modify even the past karma it is only certain strong
effects, called utkata karma,
that are non-modifiable. Here too the achievement of the spiritual
consciousness and life is supposed to annul or give the power to annul karma.
For we enter into union with the will Divine, cosmic or transcendent, which can
annul what it had sanctioned for certain condition, new-create what it had
created, the narrow fixed lines disappear, there is a more plastic freedom and
wideness. Neither Karma nor Astrology therefore points to a rigid and forever
immutable fate.
I
must, however, guard against the idea that the signs and planets determine a
man’s character or fate. They do not; they only indicate it, because they are
the sensational, celestial and astral influences or nervous force in nature
which become the instruments of our Karma. But man is mightier than his
sensations or vitality or the sensational or vital force of the universe. Our
fate and our temperament have been built by our own wills and our won wills can
alter than. But man is mightier than his sensations or vitality or the
sensational or vital forces of the universe. Our fate and our temperament have
been built by our own wills and our own wills can alter them.
In
Indian astrology which considers all life-circumstance to be Karma, mostly
predetermined or indicated in the graph of the stars, there is still provision
made for the energy and force of the being which can change or cancel part or
much of what is so written or even all but the most imperative and powerful
binding of Karma.
Our
thought and feeling are also forces and can have effects upon other. One has to
grow conscious of the movement of these forces and the one can control one’s
own mental and vital formations and cease to be affected by those of others.

Warren
Buffet's Secret of Happiness
Mr.
Warren Buffet is one of three richest men in the world. He lives in a small
three bedroom house, drives his own car, never travels by private jet, wears
what is comfortable but not branded, and has donated over 31 billion dollars to
charity without making a show of it. And he is the happiest man. His belief is
that the happiest people are those who spend their wealth in a manner that
makes a difference in the lives of others.
In
his maiden visit to India in March 2011. Mr. Warren Buffet said that life is
about planting trees for others to sit under and enjoy their shades and fruits.
Elaborating this he said: "Somebody planted a tree for me long ago in the
form of an educational institution and I sat under that tree,
metaphorically".
O
Lord! Grant that men may rise above the selfishness, come out of their little
self, and receive the ray of spiritual knowledge which will enlighten their
heart and mind and make them understand that the life which is given to them is
a priceless gifts from Thee. Therefore , remaining grateful, they should make
use of it in the best possible way, they should not waste it in satisfying the
desires of their lower nature and pleasing their ego. Whatever time they get
apart from their life-duties, they should spend in contemplation, in
benevolences and in the well-being of mankind.
EXISTENCE OF GOD
History
proves that many a great scientist like Albert Einstein and James Jeans had to prostrate to the fact that
science cannot sail across the ocean of divine secrets but can only give a
reflection of the presence of divinity. The realm of science is limited to the
knowledge of corporeal world, which is the subject of senses; whereas God is
subtle and cannot be perceived through senses. All the discoveries, laws and inventions, based on which are
present day science boasts, have already been mentioned in our scriptures
centuries ago. Modern science is right now passing through its infancy whereas
Vedas, Upanishads and other religious text reflect the fully-mature state of
science.
Even
after having unearthed many secrets of the universe, he had to accept the
existence of God and he declared that “The universe is not outcome of an
unplanned colligation or occurrence but is the result of disciplined
forethought. A Supreme mind is working behind the scene and the whole frame of
the nature bespeaks an intelligent author.” Another scientist James
Jeans has mentioned in his book “The Mysterious Universe”-“Modern
scientific theory compels us to think of the creator as working outside time
and space.” That
supreme mind, the creator who orchestrates the dance of this universe is none
else but God, about whom the enlightened souls say- “Yes we know that
supreme man who is Himself radiant like the sun and is far away from darkness.
After knowing Him, one can go beyond the mortal world and attain salvation.” (Yajurveda-31/18s-3/8)
A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the
tongue you may never get over.
You
can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people
get what they want.
When you point your finger at someone, three fingers are
pointing back at you.
Our
powers, our energies, our resources may be limited and insufficient to reach
the height of success. But if we club our limited resources with His unlimited
grace, no one can stop success from coming to us.
MAKE
SUPREME LORD YOUR COMPANION
In
every facet of our life, we often feel the need to bracket together with a
partner... A companion who is intelligent, quick at making right and wise
decision, source of immense energy and power! A friend, who never deceives us,
never betrays us, who is never green eyed with us! Someone, who can guide us
and help us in accomplishing our goal of life! If we look around, we would
definitely be unable to hunt for such as absolute personality, who encompasses
all these traits. But, for sure there exists one... He is none other than God,
the Supreme Lord Himself. So, why not make God as our companion, who is the
foundation of all these qualities, the source of all these traits, and above
all who is eagerly waiting for us to extend a hand of friendship to him. Believe
it! Once He stands by us, we will experience an aroma of confidence around us.
God
bears our responsibility and we simply proceed as His assistants. His Holiness
Ashutosh Maharaj Ji often recounts a very inspiring instance. It's a story of
Saint Theresa. She had a dream to build an outstanding, magnificent temple of
the Lord. She, therefore, went from door to door in order to collect donations.
In one of the houses, when she rang the door-bell, a lady came out shouting
angrily – "What do you want from me?" Theresa replied calmly –
"Actually, I wish to erect a temple of the Lord. I am collecting donations
for the same". The lady asked suspiciously- "How much will your
temple cost?" Theresa replied – "Perhaps, millions of dollars".
The lady looked at Theresa from head to toe and asked – "How much do you
have right now?" Theresa very confidently replied – "I have two
paise". The lady mocked – "Have you gone insane or are you
daydreaming? It's easy to build castles in the air, but not temple on the
ground. You have just two paise and....." Saint Theresa interrupted and
said – "Ma'am, probably you are mistaken. I have not completed my
statement when you asked me about my possessions. I have two paise plus God..
His bountiful grace with me." And it's recorded on the pages of history
that Theresa succeeded in her mission! Of course, because God was her
companion!
Our powers, our energies, our resources may be limited and
insufficient to reach the heights of success. But, if we club our limited
resources with His unlimited grace, no once can stop success from coming to us.
So, choose Him as your companion, your best friend.. not in words but
practically. And, be among those fortunate once who are remembered as
successful personalities, for generations to come.
