of all and the one who bears of the whole earth.

 

EXPLANATION :

 

1.      The likes and the dislike of an individual are due to the reaction

of the lower nature .They are due to the activity of the astral plane of

emotions.The cause is due to lack of balance between Rahas and Tamas.At the same

time, the like and dislikes present theimpact of suffering,alternating  with

happiness, which mellows down the lower nature and makes the individual strive

torise above the emotions.Hence they are tobe meditated as the presence of the

Lord when the process of purification takes no time.

 

2.      Our liking for those who are chosen in their behaviour and

qualities will elevate us.Their presence is one of the potent causes of our

speedy recover from the on slaughts of the emotional nature .The ablity to

transcend the vicious circle of bad karma is caused only by the presence of the

chosen people.Hence their presence is the presence of the Lord Himself

 

3.      The spiritual sun who is conceald in the visible sun is all

brilliance and cannot be comprehended by the individual consciousness.Hence it

is said that Viswakarma [the architect of the universe] once invited his son

–in-law, the spiritual sun and shaved him of all the brilliance leaving seven

little  tufts [ the seven colours of the spectrum].The immeasurable glory of

the Lord as sun-god is brought under limitation to make  the creation possible.

Hence the sun with our spectrum is to be meditated as the measuarable of the

immeasurable Lord.

 

4.      King Nahusha performed hundred sacrifices and elevated himself from

human level, to that of Indra, the king of gods.He fell down once again into the

abyss of lower nature  in the form of an inactive serpent due to his own

misbehaviour .Hence he marks the rise and fall of man which alternte during the

cycle of evolution  and should  be meditated as part  of the play of the

Lord.

 

5.      The great bull is the constellation of Taurus which bestows the

power of fertilization both for, the creation through sound and reproduction

through matter.Thus the sign Taurus represents the voice as well as the tissue

of fertility in the masculine form.The sun between April 21 st  May 20 th is

called the bull showering his virile rays to attract water into clouds.

 

6.      Spite and wrath belong to thelower nature of man but they are used

as the weapons of the Lord to bring round the human being with the suffering

inflicted upon himself by himself .Destruction of man by man has the purpose of

shortening the time of transcending through the agency of wars etc.Whenever the

elevation  of human consciousness is necessary on a mass scale there will be

the presence of the Lord  as wrath.Hence the emerging and merging of wrath are

to be meditated as the presence of the Lord .By this meditation, the individual

transcends that level easily.

 

7.      Individuals think that they do the things that they want to do. The

fact is that they are the instruments of their own desire of the individuals.

 

8.       Hence the Lord is the invisible hand  that works through the

individuals.   He works  out things that are required while people think that

they are working  their own things to achieve them.

 

9.      Food,drinks,life,hope and aspiration starts from the Lord pass

through the experience of the individual  and culminate in the Lord.Hence the

Lord is the one who really bears the burden of the whole universe just as the

ocean bears the burden of the floating ship  with all the sailors in it.
