VICTORY
IS IN YOUR HANDS
In
general, people do not care much about the things which are obtained
by simple and easy means. That is quite the nature of human mind. We
give respect and importance to the property which is greater value
or belonging to others. We, therefore, devote almost all our efforts
and energy in procuring those things. We should have a mind, broad
to go far beyond that which we can achieve.
For
this, we should introspect and plan accordingly. We should realise
"What I have"? We have legs, hands, pleasures, wife, children,
relations, house to live in, and occupation to earn and so on. We
have sufficient or sometimes even surplus with us. Then, why do we
expect more from God?
Expectation makes us only beggars. This expectation is the root
cause for various problems and chaos in day to day life. Nature has
provided us with excellent talents and will power. We should develop
these talents and powers by means of which we can help and guide
others. We must find the cause and effect in our own efforts. This
is "Karma Yoga".
We
spent most of our life span worrying about others and not contented
with what we have. That is the main course for the problems
throughout the world. So, only spirituality can solve the problems
of mankind. Expectation will only keep us in deficiency and
dependence and we feel ourselves to be in penury.
God
has gifted us the physical body along with life to enjoy. Instead of
being thankful and grateful to Nature, we go on demanding this and
that from Almighty. Maharishi says ' Give up expectations for 30
days and see the result after achieving the fruit of the result, our
mind will automatically give up its efficiency on expectation.
So,
when one comes to the non expecting stage, he gets the wonderful
opportunity to utilise his powers and get satisfaction. Without
expecting anything from others, we should be broad minded and help
others with what we have either physically or financially or
mentally etc. The only way to maintain harmony and friendly relation
is to move with humanity and gratitude towards both the animate and
inanimate things.
We
should not by any means develop hatred feelings. Therefore, the only
solution for this is to bless the hatred in the meditations we do
both in the morning and evening. Blessing, Blessing, Blessing
between one turns hatred, lovable. By following this, one's life
turns harmonious. This is quite possible. Only thing is we should
wish it and try.
So,
by the grace of the Divine, one should try to fulfill his own needs
maximum by himself with the use of thought, word and deed. When all
this become possible, 'Where is the necessity for us to expect from
others'? Thus, we come to a clear concept that we are the one and
only person responsible for hatred towards others and not anyone
else.
Particularly in
SKY, there is no way of developing such hatred feelings, because in
SKY, we train our mind to attain spiritual consciousness which
broadens the mind. When mind gets broadened, love and compassion
comes out whole heartedly as treasure. This way of living is 'Karmayoga'. |
