Absence of desires leads to a clear and still mind, steeped in wisdom.
When there are no desires, there are no emotions such as joy, elation, depression, sadness, anger, disappointment, jealousy, that normally arise from fulfilment or non-fulfilment of such desires.
When the mind is without fear and anger, without expectations of success and failure, the unattached mind seeks that which is unattached. The desire for the objects disappears as Truth dawns.
This Universe is responsible for all of us.
We exist not because of our actions and ourselves but in spite of them.
When we let go, when we listen to the Universe, it gives us all that we need to live with abundance, but the problem is that we don't listen. We do not stop with our needs but get greedy with our wants as well.
There is no way all our wants can be fulfilled without taking away the needs of other beings in this Universe.
The law of the jungle operates beautifully without man. Animals act based on needs and not on wants. A lion kills because it has to eat, not because it sees another lion killing. It would kill only to appease its own hunger or when its own life is threatened. Once the human being enters the scene, this equation changes. Man engages in wanton killing without caring about what he needs. Unlike animals, man no longer expresses his innate intelligence.
The tortoise follows its instincts to obey nature; it lives in the present moment. It moves when its sensors report that there is no danger and it withdraws completely when it senses threat. Its entire cycle of life is tuned to the wisdom of nature. It is not an active and adventurous living being, but it is celebrated in all ancient cultures for its longevity and steadiness.
Man is obviously a different being from the rest of the animals. He alone has the power to decide whether to follow the wisdom of nature inherent in him as in all other beings, or reject it to be unintelligent.
An animal whether of mating, caring, killing or saving its own life, does all and any of these with tremendous focus. The animal always lives in its present moment. Not so the human. For human, his mind is never where his body is.
Corporate people ask me how to make right decisions. It is simple. When you focus intensely on the job at hand and make a decision based on the information available at that moment, your decisions will always be right. The universal energy guides you in your decision when you settle into yourself, focus inwards and withdraw your senses as tortoise does.
What do you all do instead? Half the time you postpone decisions because you are afraid of the consequences of the decision. So things happen that are out of your control and that do not favour you. The other half of the time you are led by greed and prejudices based on past experiences and future fantasies, and you decide with no relevance to issues of that moment. You never do anything with complete awareness.
When you do whatever you do with one-hundred percent focus, you are in awareness. You become God! - THE AVATAR HIS DIVINE HOLINESS BHAGAVAAN NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM
