.Why can't we firmly follow the Right Path?

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends

Birth is like taking a ticket for a train ride with the destination (destiny)

fixed. Thereafter, we have no control and no use worrying about future and

expectation of good. Destiny of death is a new station where we will further be

given a choice of new destiny and find a rebirth.

 

Life is a passanger sitting in a cabin of the train driven by Krishna. The path

is undoubtedly right, but we are unneccessarily crying and excited and have a

lot of anxiety by looking outside the car. If only we trust the driver

(Krishna), the transitory reality of world can not affect us. If we do not

listen to the driver in midest of our heart, and get lost in moving images, the

mind and body will face unnecessary happiness / sorrow.

 

In another experience, I feel that Sri Krshna is my teacher in my heart.. This

book is called CHITTA and a place where Sri Krishna is sitting in MUN. When Sri

Krishna starts teaching, He first asks to remove all the books (CHITTA) and

listen to Him. He is therefore called CHITTA CHOR ( stealer of CHITTA). At that

point the student is united with his teacher, and there are no worries of pain

and pleasure or anything else.

Dear Sadhakas:

 

When one thinks one knows what should be done and what shouldn't be

done, why doesn't he/she do it, right? Now when one is totally

identified as body only by thought in mind or feelings in body and

considers him/her to be an individual then he/she has no free will!(body

is not telling you are this body) Individual person is governed by his

conditioning(karmas) so only conditioning act thru him not free will!

This is ignorance of not knowing his true nature so obviously actions

originate from such ignorance is not going to let him act what should be

done. He can think he has free will but he doesn't really!

 

An individual person Ego has no free will, cannot have free will!

 

Freedom to act correctly comes only from realization of oneself as

Atman which itself is intelligence and knows what should be done.

Freedom from karmas-conditioning happens when one understands one is

not doer or karta of deeds he performs(please verify this right now in

your life), but its God as Consciousness or Life or Infinite

Intelligence that performs what is required at the time to do Lila! Know

this, not as a theory, but actually by playing a devil's advocate and

prooving " I " to be non-doer! You wouldn't have any valid proof to

beleieve that " I " is doer except its just a belief from childhood. Then

Karmas will collapse and freedom to act will rein! ..........Pratap

the assembly of Kurus and Pandavas when Srimati Droupadi was being

disrobed by Dushashan, and yet did not try to stop him. Why? The answer

is that he was living in the palace of the Kurus and was eating their

food daily. Thus his blood and mind were contaminated. Only when the

arrows of Arjuna filled his body and he lay on the field of Kurukshetra

did he finally regain his proper mind and discriminative powers, since

the drained that blood out removed all the impurities.

is cooked by non-devotees then that food will also contaminate our

consciousness and deplete our ability to discriminate properly and act

accordingly.
