Verse 51 (Part 2 of 2)

[Guest guest]

Here is a hard knot. The apparent causes for the

worldly joys and sorrows are really not the causes.

But man sometimes remains active and happy on account

of that. But he can't explain the cause of his

happiness. Unable to explain that, he imagines

something else like the happy delivery of his sister

and expresses it.

 

In the same manner, man sometimes becomes sorrowful.

Then again unable to explain the cause he suspects

that his brother might have met with an accident and

says so. Undoubtedly both theories are unwise

guessings. Then why should joy and sorrow occur

without any cause?

 

They are the Samskaras carried forward from previous

births of which we are ignorant. Why did God let

these Samskaras remain inscrutable?

 

Should he not think of a clear knowledge of previous

births? No. He should not. God has made us oblivous

of the knowledge of the previous births out of

kindness for us. Because with the knowledge, when we

happen to see the passing swine, dogs, and donkeys,

they appear to be our kith and kin and we grieve very

much. Can we bear that sorrow?

 

Tell me. Only a dog, when it lies in an ash-pit, gets

the knowledge of his previous birth. But he forgets

it the very moment (he leaves it.) We can't show the

causes directly for the joys and sorrows that come

out of the Samskaras of previous births. We have to

delve deep into our minds eye to know the root of such

joys and sorrows. Then will we know that within us

there is happiness and light. Indeed that light

and happiness are no other than the self and that too

will be revealed.

 

Yes. You are the inner light. And that light is

bliss. That light and bliss are revealed as your

wisdom and joy. But you get sorrow because of the

wheel of illusion within you. You get this knowledge.

 

It is by the grace of Guru and hence obeisance to such

Guru.
