Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I was asked if I am at cruising altitude always due to my having very high octane malas. I guess the answer is yes. But to say I have everything and all my desires fulfilled the answer is no. I want a million bucks twenty minutes ago, but without having to work or worry. Not happening. I am not a magician. So where does one draw the line between support of devas/rudraksha, and complete fulfillment? This question is hard to answer. In every case the nature of life is expansion. When we have something then we want more. Are we ever truely fulfilled in this world? I would say that only if our contentment is internalized which is to say through meditation or self discovery. And this really was always my greatest desire. That is, to know the divinity within myself. Rudraksha have definitely improved my self control, depth of meditation, and well being. Yes, definitely. I also have developed some new areas in my life, I have discovered that I can paint fairly well and have been exploring this outlet. I bought a house and that's new and after living in an apartment for fifteen years is quite an expansion. I have discovered devas in the inner body. I have become more spiritual than ever before. These things are of great benefit, and yet, I'm not a millionaire. So again, where are the benefits of rudraksha exactly. But I did name some simultaneous occurances to my devoted wearing of these sacred beads. Maybe the material takes the longest time to transform but inside I am transformed. I was very spiritual in my late teens and then turned away. Well I feel just as spiritual and even better now because I'm more open to all the varieties of the experience and less vain about my state. (I once was a celebate vegan monk for two years). Iwent through great ups and downs the likes of which I was only able to pull out of through continued meditation, rudraksha, chanting, and my other items of devotion (ie., Narmadeshwar Lingas, Shree Shaligrama, Shree Yantra). All these things go hand in hand. I consider life to be synchronistic, which is to say that rather than cause and effect, instead, spontaneous manifestation based on internal state of consciousness is the key to a real new state of life. To this end I have devoted money and time to wearing and caring for rudrakshas. They definitely do change the causation of life from within, and then therefore by my definition all of life follows. Some may find immediate results from succint breakthroughs as if a trigger was activated, others may find continued wearing is the key to wear down old accumulated karmas. Remember water erodes the hardest rock, and a new vibe daily worn can eventually change any status. Just remember rudrakshas are always positive, and that alone is of great benefit in this often miserable world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
