Our lives can become perfect only if we participate in this great interchange with nature and the universe. As the Gita tells us in chapter 3, “Sahayajna praja sristwa purovacha prajapati.” - The creator created all things and instilled the idea of yajna or selfless action in them. The sun shines, the rains fall, the tree gives fruit and so on with no thought of gain. They do it as an offering to the divine that created them. In this orgy of selfless giving the human being lives, utterly selfish, with an eye to his personal comfort alone. Hence it is that the human being has such a capacity for unhappiness. This is because Nature did not mean him to live in such a way, totally unconnected with everything else. No man is an island and no one can live without any sort of dependence. There is no “me” and “mine” as we think but all things are connected in an amazing way to the energy field which in Hinduism is known as chitta. In Hinduism, “mamta and ahamta” (me and mine) have always been considered to be the two knots which alienate us from God. Any alienation from our divine foundation will bring sorrow in its wake. In this unified field there is no place for me and mine.
Dearest Mataji. We are so deeply grateful for Lord Vanamali’s wisdom in our lives! I do hope you will collect these illuminating articles into a collection of writings on living a sacred life.
Hari Aum Auntie! Absolutely wonderful read! Relieving to know the world is beginning to wake up to vedantic wisdom. Gita Ch 15 clarifies that úthamah purushasthwanyah, praramathmetyudahrutah' but the semetics search for that purushah outside the apparatus. I guess the beauty, glory and grandeur of vedanta is the knowledge and cognition that integrates cosmos iyself into a cohesive thing. Aum!
Thank you Maa for such a clear and beautiful article - from the most modern to the absolutely divine ancient wisdom - how magically you have explained and tied it all together for us. I pray our Lord brings as many young minds and eyes as possible to reading, learning and acting on your words of light and beauty. Hari Aum Tat Sat
