Guest guest Posted February 17, 2001 Report Share Posted February 17, 2001 contd..<br>So we have to admit that every desire which we think of our own ego's decision is in fact forced on us by the Universal system. Our desire will be called free, when it will coincide with the desire of the Excellent and will not be checked by any boundaries. Then how to get that independence ??<br><br><br>Our desire can only be called a free will if it is not checked by the universal energies and by its gunas as also not by time and space. But the ego that desires is himself not an independent entity, hence no desire can be a free desire if it is emanating from the ego. Then how to desire like the omnipotent ? Well to begin with we have to first analyse our desires and divide them into three groups. The first group of desires will be the one, which is just to fulfil the needs of the body and Prana, The second group would include those desires which are to nourish the Ego and the third group of desires will be the one which are imposed on us by the system to get some of its latent goals.<br><br>First we should analyse the desire which are to fulfil the needs of the body and Prana. There is no need to stop/check these desires. We have to only separate our ego from these desires, by recoganising them and taking them as Not My desires. Just by this separation we would feel quite light as the biggest chunk of our desires has been taken away from our ego and now we can comfortably analyse the other two groups.<br><br>The second group will consist of those desires which are just to fulfil our ego. These may come as vrittis to gain fame, money, violence romance etc. Then we may analyse them according to their gunas and allow only the desires which are Satoguni (Constructive and harmless) in nature and dismiss the others. As long as we are bound by the nature we have to take help of one of the three gunas then why not Satoguna which will remove darkness from our presence. These desires will further produce vrittis of Sat and we will progress fast.<br><br>Now we are left with those desires which are forced on us by Nature for her latent goals but we by mere disillusion treat them our desires,mix them with our prevailing gunas and creat havoc with our deeds.<br><br>If we have succeded in checking the first two groups, then we need not worry from this third group. Latent desires of Nature are normally to continue the life hence may come as sex-vrittis. For some destruction, these may come as a violent vrittis. BUT to desire for God is also such a latent desire of the nature which may awaken in us.<br><br>Moth Nature does not force this desire of God, by random selection. Our ego is not in a position in the Universe to attract the attention of Mother nature or God. Desiring for God is a pre-planned task of the Mother Nature which can be awakened in any ego which has purged his desires and well understood the meaning of his being. An example (By R.N.Tagore) will clarify it. In a jungle there are many pits which are filled with water. The sun will be reflected from all the pits, but those pits which have clear water will emit clear image of the Sun.<br><br>If our Anthakarna is clear. If our Three gunas are in our control, if our Budhhi can distinguish between desires then this tender plant of God's love will automatically come out of our Anthakarna. Neither Mother Nature has been extra kind to us nor can we bless our ego for this desire. If this desire has born, we have to recoganise its source and reasons and the desires which will oppose it. Develop the desires which water this tender plant of God's love and stop the desires that oppose or check the growth of this tender plant. A day will come when this tender plant will grow a big tree with flowers of fragrance and will bear fruits of Independence and Mukti!<br><br>This is actual Sadhna, which will bring actual independence and actual Mukti !!!!<br><br>Hari Om Tat Sat<br>_____<br><br>(concluded\ ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
