Fwd: A Man of Equal Vision

[Guest guest]

Hare Krsna Those whose minds are established in sameness and equanimity have already conquered the conditions of birth and death. They are flawless like Brahman, and thus they are already situated in Brahman. GITA 5:19 PURPORT Equanimity of mind, as mentioned above, is the sign of self-realization. Those who have actually attained to such a stage should be considered to have conquered material conditions, specifically birth and death. As long as one identifies with this body, he is considered a conditioned soul, but as soon as he is elevated to the stage of equanimity through realization of self, he is liberated from conditional life. In other words, he is no longer subject to take birth in the material world but can enter into the

spiritual sky after his death. The Lord is flawless because He is without attraction or hatred. Similarly, when a living entity is without attraction or hatred, he also becomes flawless and eligible to enter into the spiritual sky. Such persons are to be considered already liberated, and their symptoms are described below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When you apply soap and scrub your body while taking a bath / shower, at that time while the soap lather is on your body, how do you look? Do you look bad ? Even if you look bad, you know in your mind that "I am really no that bad." In your mind you are clear that it is due to the lather from the soap that on the surface this body looks like that, but in reality it is not like that. Similarly, even if you see the worst of worst criminals, then too it should come to your mind that superficially it appears like is he a

criminal, but within, he is a part of God (ray of God's consciousness) . By wearing black clothes, can a man become black? A man is what His Soul is. Similarly goodness and badness in a person is in the inner faculties, but there is no change in God's consciousness (Soul). On one side is a realized Soul, a lover of God, a great siddha; while another is a criminal, a butcher, a thief, etc. but in both these beings, there is no difference in the essence of God. Only the one who loves God, is facing towards God's consciousness. Therefore while behaving properly in worldly relationships, the spiritual aspirant's sight must only be on God's consciousness. The one whose sight remains at all times on that very essence, that God Consciousness, is called a man of equal, impartial, objective vision "samadarshi" . On the other hand, the one whose bahavior is equal and the same in relationships, eating / drinking, marrying with anyone, is a "samvyarti", not a

"samdarshi" A samvyarti is like the King of Death (Yamraj) as death comes equally to all. The man of knowledge is called a "samdarshi," whereas the King of Death is called "samvyarti."
