Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Om Sai Ram To you and All, Accept my pranam. It is very nicely explained. I wish to add few more thoughts as below: How not to worry and Live and Let be ? Why do we assume the responsibility in our hands and start taking charge. Gita explains ( Karmanevaadhiakarsteye Ma Faleshu Kadachin--) : you do the Karma and leave the results to God. Why Worry when HE is there to look for you. HE is every where in and around you he is directing you to perform and follow the right path. But you take charge and choose the path other than what HE has for you. Suffering and worry is due to the path chosen by you without HIS permission. Leave everything up to HIM and HE will take care of you. Krishna explains to Arjuna: " Sarvakarma Paritjya Mamekam sarnamvrjah " Offer every work/action to HIM Surrender to HIM. HE will take care of you. Does a child ever worry ?, The answer is NO. But Why ? Because the Mother / father knows what a child need. So one must put trust, confidence and faith in HIS hands. When HE brings a soul into this world, HE has made all the arrangements to meet the needs of that soul. So do not worry when HE is there. Leave everything to HIM. we can not move even a leaf without his will. Then why try to do which we can not. Are we immortal?. Can we live eternally,? if the answer is No, then why to worry. It is HIS creation to HIS liking. HE is the master. We are just the puppets in HIS hands. We play to his tunes. Let us all understand that this world is not real and not immortal. Krishna when showing his ViratRupa to Arjun,expalined to Arjun that All are being swallowed by HIM. No one could save them from HIM. The results are very clear. Worry or No worry, Fate can not be changed based on our Karma due to our attachments to the unreal world and unfulfilled unlimited desires. So, then why worry. Live the way God desired us to live and Let life move the way HE has planned for you. Follow the path of truthfulness, rightful duty without the expectations of results towards salvation per HIS command. Take HIM as your friend, father, mother, son, daughter, or master, and Guru and Live happily with no attachments. Love all always; Serve all always; Help all ever; Hurt No one -never. Very Loving Sai Ram to all. Kamlesh Kumar --- " Kaura, Madan (M.L.)

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hari OM. The message is given by Krushna to Arjuna About Shankya Yogam. Like You Sir,He also asked the same question to Krushna.Krushna did not force him. He started explaining the other methodoliges IN GITA. IF you are fortunate You will get it. Krushna never forces anyone. Its your wish. But Its BHramma Gyanam. Hari OM. jvardya wrote: Will this not lead to inaction and therefore failure.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 your karmic foot prints (samskaara) and fate (praarabdha karma) decides or preordains your action in this life. thus we are nothing but a puppet of our own karma. doing good karma (Seva, KarmaYoga) in present life will make one automatically strive for and achieve better things in future life. in this sense "every thing is already preordained.", but you created the present by your past action. thus you are a puppet as well as the puppeteer at the same time. you yourself preordain yourself. what a clever design of Lord Krishna--- the great Mastermind. hope this clears the big confusion, a little bit at least ! =sanjay Click http://gita-society.com/verse.htmto get a Gita verse on demand !! - jvardya Saturday, December 16, 2006 3:33 PM Re: How to not Worry, to Live and to Let Be?

Live the way God desired us to live and Let life move the way HE has planned for you.Follow the path of truthfulness, rightful duty without the expectations of results towards salvation per HIS command. Take HIM as your friend, father, mother, son, daughter, or master, and Guru and Live happily with no attachments.Love all always; Serve all always; Help all ever; Hurt No one -never.Very Loving Sai Ram to all.Kamlesh Kumar--- "Kaura, Madan (M.L.)" <mkaura (AT) ford (DOT) com> wrote:> Shree Hari> > Ram Ram > > Priya Sadhaka,> Aap ke prashna ke laye bahut bahut dhanyabad!> > You have addressed your question to late Param> Shardhya Swamiji Maharaj,> it is through his blessings and grace, here are few> thoughts!> > Your question is how to attain tranquility of mind.> I believe it is the> same as saying how to attain equanimity (Samta). > > The single biggest obstacle in the path to attain> Samta is to believe> all the worldly associations we are surrounded with> on a daily basis are> real.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Yes, fate is not to be understood in the sense it is expressed which is somewhat fatalistic view. Fate is the result of our attachments/desires/karmas to/for unreal world, it is stated, but do we ever see that it is unreal? If seen as unreal then attachment, desires, fear will vanish naturally by this understanding that it is really unreal even as a child gives up toys for which he faught, cried etc when grows up and knows it to be unreal at his age.(He/She may have other unreal objects now seem real). Upon inquiry into its true nature, the world will seem like dream and play of Consciousness. Then the world will become our playground for celebrating life even as we play cards and never really regreat if we lose. In my understanding biggest unreality/ignorance is to think we are doers of our deeds. THis ignorance result in Karmas and bondage and Fate etc. DOership is foundation on which Karmas' castle is built but it is castle of air or deck of cards. Once it is understodd we are not the doers, no karmas, no fate can touch us. Another point is do we ever know what is in our fate? SO it is mind's trick to think in this way based on what all happened in the past. Knowing our true nature will release us from Fate and its bondage. God is total freedom at every moment and so are we! In divine friendship...Pratap --- jvardya wrote: > Will this not lead to inaction and therefore > failure.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 All, Very good question and very important to address with in oneself. This is how I draw comfort from sloka # 47, chapter II of Sribhagavadhgeetha. Karmanyevadhikarasthe maa phaleshu kadhacana Maa karmaphalahethurbhurMAA THE SANGOSTVAKARMANI maa -> not, the -> your, sanga -> attachment, asthu -> let be, akarmani -> in INACTION. Fundamental analysis of Action leads to the understanding that action is built on two main pillars, FEAR and EXPECTATION. Fear of existence and Expectation of achieving some comfort. I am breathing (Breathing is considered to be very fundamental action for survival) because I may die otherwise. I am breathing because I live if I do, and that is basic comfort. (A silly question popped in my mind "Is breathing bad". My answer to myself -> If I won't die if I do not breath, I will drop breathing next moment). Any karma which is not associated with fruits(end results) NEVER leads to miseries. Example being a subh karma (say PUJA). If every karma is performed with out expectations and fears, then they all become subh karmas. That's how WORK IS WORSHIP. One of the major reasons for inaction is FEAR of failure. Fear of losing the present state. Could it be called Tamas? If fears and failures are preventing an action, that can not be inaction. That is another action. If expectations and Failures are filtered out from the Action, how can we be attached to the inaction? Even if there is inaction, how is it different from action? So this is how I advocate myself not to fear inaction, if I follow "Karmanyevaadhikaarasthe". Thanks,Krishna jvardyaReply- To: Subject: Re: How to not Worry, to Live and to Let Be?Sat, 16 Dec 2006 23:33:17 +0000 Will this not lead to inaction and therefore failure. Then why strive for excellence if every thing is already preordained. -------------- Original message from usha sridhar <deepusmom >: -------------- "Worry or No worry, Fate can not be changed based on our Karma due to our attachments to the unreal world and unfulfilled unlimited desires.

The past contains the dead weight of experience, learned beliefs and all our mistakes. Life cannot truly begin until we are able to say goodbye to the legacies of yesterday at will. Like a filing cabinet, the past is a resource of information for learning, but it is not a place to live. When you go to work do you spend your day in the filing cabinet? How often will you/did you live in the past today? Say goodbye and make it final. Saying farewell to yesterday, last month and last year is the sign of a person who wants to live for today and is truly alive to all the possibilities of 'the moment', while fully aware that all they think, say and do right now, creates tomorrow.
