Our Eastern Masters have declared again and again, ‘You are bliss.
You are love. You are eternal bliss itself.’ When you are bliss
itself, what more can you ask for? When you understand and
experience this truth, you are enough unto yourself; you are completely
satisfied. Nothing exists for you to achieve because you are already the
ultimate you can achieve!
As of now, you are running behind something out of greed, thinking
you will have bliss when you possess it. Either you are running behind
something out of greed or you are running away from something out
of fear. You are afraid something will take away your joy, your life. Both
running towards something and running away from something become
irrelevant when you understand you are a part of this loving Existence,
taking care of you every moment.
Existence is Taking Care of You Every Moment
Existence is taking care of you every moment. Do you think you can be alive even for one moment if Existence does not want you to be alive?
The very fact that you are alive proves that Existence wants you here, now,
in this form, in this place. This is the ultimate cause for celebration! What
more do you want?
Existence has provided, is providing and will provide for each and
every one of your needs. Your suffering, your struggle, your incompletion
is only because you don’t trust that you are being provided all that
you need; because you carry a deep self-doubt and consider yourself separate
from Existence, who you think is your enemy.
People often look at my feet and tell me that I have such smooth
and soft feet. They do not know I have wandered thousands of miles
barefoot in all types of terrain. When you walk upon Mother Earth
with great respect, trust and love, She will simply cherish you. I
never wore footwear in the early years of my life. Even now when I enter
Tiruvannamalai, my birth town, I don’t wear footwear.
I was once on an elephant safari on a jungle path. The guide showed
me a path which was used by humans, alongside the one on which the
elephant was walking. The guide’s path had no grass on it. The guide said
where man walks, no grass grows, but where the elephant walks, the grass
does not die!
As humans we have lost touch with Nature, with Existence. We
have fallen out of tune with ourselves and with Nature. That is why we
experience Nature unpleasantly. Even in our prayers there is no gratitude,
there is only asking. We have become beggars. Also, you are not
satisfied with how Existence chooses to take care of your needs. You look
at others and have a big list of wants based on what others have. You fail to
understand that each of us is unique and each of us has been provided
with exactly what we need. Instead, you start looking at what others have
and want that also. Greed sets in.
This is how you waste your entire life running behind desires and
running away from reality. We are focused only on the outer world. For a detailed content please download the book from the Master : https://kailaasa.org/bhagavadgita/download/
