Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Domination & Should not¡K<br>I feel uncomfortable with one of my co-workers because he always likes to seize every chance he got to complain of everything and I was easily affected by this common situation and cannot focus on my work. At least, I comfort myself that he is going to leave this office by the end of month.<br>Unfortunately, my supervisor asked him today to stay with my company and of course he said Yes right away. I felt very upset while this bad news come to me. I started stirring on my mind, thinking that if or not I need to do something to "fight" this situation which "should not" exist. Suddenly, one word come to my mind "Domination". I remember clearly that Master Osho once said that domination is the ugliest thing in the world. Never for a single moment desire to dominate anybody, nor allow anybody to dominate you. <br>I witness myself to dominate the whole situation and stop right away. I also find myself telling words "Should not" which mean I don't accept the life as it is. I started suffering because I don't accept the way life it is, I want something else. When this consciousness arise, I start releasing myself. I don't suffer anymore.<br>I feel tremendous gratitude that I can witness myself in time and get free from this kind of misery. <br>Anand Prabodh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 HI, he can only dominate if you allow him too. Domination is like a bully but can the bully act alone? he will act if he can affect others around him. It may look easy for me to say and just leave it at that , it has happend to many of us so i speak from experience.<br><br>Why allow it to bother you ,why feel the need to react? Keep looking beyond all this shallowness in life , have you ever watched the river water? It flows around, over ,under many obstacles but does it stop? Till it reaches its source ?<br>regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Dear Anand_Prabodh,<br><br>Your letter on Domination & Should not, is an eye opener. Spirituality should be the personality of the person first who preaches. Higher thoughts of salvation etc. are coming later. The need of hour is how we accept, digest and assimilate thoughts to our own personal life. The instinct of domination is common with human being everywhere. <br>Anand, the knowledge that you imparted from Osho gave you light, that gave you realise the dark element in your personality. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with a layman like me, it ofcourse gives me insight to evaluate myself.<br><br>Devan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Blessed Self, anand prabodh<br><br>The Gita offers this advice and encouragement in equanimity and forebearance:<br><br>Bhagavad Gita XII<br><br>17. Yona hrishyati na dweshti na shochati na kaangkshati;<br> Shubhaashubhaparityaagee bhaktimaan yah sa me priyah.<br><br> He who neither rejoices, nor hates, nor grieves, nor desires, renouncing good and evil, and who is full fo devotion, is dear to Me.<br><br>18. Samah shatrau cha mitre cha tathaa maanaapamaanayoh;<br> Sheetoshnasukhaduhkheshu samah sangavivarjitah.<br><br> He who is the same to foe and friend, and also in honor and dishonor, who is the same in cold and heat, and in pleasure and pain, who is free from attachment.<br><br>19. Tulyanindaastutirmaunee santushto yena kenachit;<br> Aniketah sthiramatir bhaktimaan me priyo narah.<br><br> He to whom censure and praise are equal, who is silent, content with anything, homeless, of a steady mind, and full of devotion -- that man is dear to Me.<br><br>20.Ye tu dharmyaamritamidam yathoktam paryapaasate;<br> Shraddhadhaanaah matparamaa bhaktaaste’teeva me priyaah.<br><br> They verily who follow this immortal Dharma, as described above, endowed with faith, regarding Me as their supreme goal, they, the blessed devotees, are exceedingly dear to Me.<br><br>Hari Om Tat Sat<br><br>Omprem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Dear Anand Prabodh,<br><br> the normal answers to your questions would be<br><br> Hari Aum Tat Sat means Only the God is truth<br><br> Janaka was a king and father in law of Lord Rama. Janaka was a seeker of truth too.<br><br> Ashtavakra was the guru of Janaka who imparted knowledge of Brahm on Janaka (ashtavakra geeta).<br><br> But I am sure you already knew the meanings...perhaps if we go deeper into the question we have some surprising answers.<br><br> Hari aum Tat sat denotes the biggest truth of all religion. It states that the force who is looking after the universe and who is himself AUM (physical world, astral world & causal world & beyond too) is the only truth...rest all is illusion and Maya. sikhs have an equivalent as Sat Naam shri Wahe Guru and islam says Allaho akbar which has almost the same meaning.<br><br> Janaka represents a person, who has enjoyed all the amenities of life, who is enjoying the power being a king, who has knowledge....and even then he questions the validity of all his physical comforts. Janaka represents a state of human where all the comforts and fruits of good karma become questionable and the ego undergoes labour pains to give birth to the eternal Truth. A state where a person is ready for Advaita, the ultimate Truth.<br><br> Ashtavakra who is an ugly looking brahmin with no physical powers nor enjoying any comforts, represents the state of a Gyani, who has the ultimate knowledge of Truth and is ready to give it to a person who is well suited for it.<br><br> what do u think Sesh ?<br><br>Hari Aum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 SILENTSOUL: "It states that the force who is looking after the universe" <br><br>What does that mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
