One can become free from birth, death, old age and their distresses- Lord Krisna

[Guest guest]

Lord Krishna says- " When the embodied being (living being) is able

to transcend the Three Modes of nature ie.the mode of goodness,

passion and ignorance, he can become free from birth, death, old age

and their distresses and can enjoy nectar even in this life "

 

Arjuna inquired - " O my dear lord, by what symptoms is one known who

is transcendental to these modes?, what is his behavior and how does

he transcend the modes of nature? "

 

Lord Krishna says - " He who doesnot hate illumination, attachment

and delusion when they are present, nor longs for them when they

dissapear, who is seated like one unconcerned, being situated beyond

these material reactions of the modes of nature, who remains firm,

knowing that the modes ALONE are active, who regards alike pleasure

and pain, and looks on a clod, a stone and a piece of gold with an

equal eye, who is wise and holds praise and blame to be the same,

who is unchanged in honor and dishonor, who treats friend and foe

alike, who has abondoned all fruitive undertakings-SUCH a man is

said to have transcended the modes of nature "

All above sounds so different and unrealistic but I firmly believe

in the above contents, what I understand from above contents is that

their is reaction and interaction to everything that we do under the

sun, and hence these reactions results in some changes biologically,

chemically in us which results in our bodies deteriorating, its

obvious that as we are given these human life forms we are bound to

act and use our body for various things but one who reaches that

state of blissfullness knowing that he is in reallity only the soul

and not this body though living in this body ,automatically

disconnects from all the reactions that are happening with the body,

in the body, may be this way our body will take much much longer

time to get old than normally it does in our present life forms,

because when we are situated in the self the chemical reactions

within us that deteriorates our bodies may reduce drastically, see

somewhere deep within this above mentioned knowledge given by Lord

Krishna, their is something which can not taken just for granted,

even the law of physics says that their is reaction to every action

and that reaction is bound to result into something, in our human

cases the result is childhood to youth, youth to old age and old age

to disease / distress, we may not be able to 100% transcend the

three modes of our nature but a few steps towards this direction can

really do wonders as stated above, anyway......

 

HARE KRISHNA...
