We Have Imprisoned Ourselves.

 

We have to understand that life is not unhappiness. Our bliss is lost

because desires cover it up/

 

Bhagavan gave this example. He was speaking to His students, " There

is a lamp. On the lamp, and earthen pot is kept. The pot has nine

holes. Through these holes, you can see the light. Now, a blanket

covers this pot, so you don't see anything. What is to be done now?

 

First remove the blank. You will see the light through the nine

holes. Break the pot and then you will see the light directly, in its

fullness and intensity. You are not able to see the full light

because of the pot and the blanket.

 

Swami says that human body is like a pot with nine holes. There is

the light of Divinity, the light of the Soul- the light of

Consciousness, the light of the Spirit. Divinity, which is in us, is

covered by the pot of nine holes, which represents the human body.

Over that is the blanket of attachment...'mine and dine' and so on

and forth.

 

The confining sense of " I " Nessa, of mine and thine " limits us. This

attachment and possessiveness will not allow the light of

consciousness to blaze forth. Thus, we have imprisoned ourselves. No

one has put us in prison or made us unhappy. We only make ourselves

unhappy and compare with others. It is jealousy that makes unhappy.

 

Unfortunately, we close our eyes to the beauty of nature and we close

close our ears to the sound of Nature. We don't respond to nature's

grandeur and That is why we are unhappy. This unhappiness, which is

of our making, gets accumulated within us. In such a situation who

can help us? We have to help ourselves. That's all. If we help

ourselves, GOD is ready to help us.
