" Nirmamo Nirahamkaarah
sama Dukha Sukha Kshamee
Sarvaramba Parityaagee Yo Mat
Bhaktah Sa Mey Priah.
Adweshta sarvabhoothanam
Maitrah Karuna Eva cha."
"One who is devoid of the feeling of "I" and "Mine" One who takes pain and pleasure in the same vein and One who has forbearance, is most dear to Me" - thus declared Gitacharya.
Unity of Divinity And Man's Divine Nature.
To realise one's divine nature and unity of God, is beyond the reach of an ordinary Sadhaka. But once a Sadhaka is able to recognize the Unity of Divinity and also the divine nature of a human being, it is no longer difficult. In keeping with the saying
"Swa Sareeram Swayam Jyothihi, Swarupam Sarva Rakshanam."
"God is immanent as a protector of all beings as a self-effulgent. resplendent flame in the body of every being. When we realise this truth, it will be easier for us to control our ego and the feeling of 'mine' and 'thine'.
"Swa sareeram swayam jyothihi" His self effulgent flame is in our own body. "Swarupam sarva Rakshanam" This protectorof beings is residing in our own body.
The inquiry into God's existence and the method by which we can reach Him is going on since ancient times. This was succeeded by the intense penence of sages and seers for thousands of years.They declared "Vedaham Etham Purusham Mahaantham Aaditya Varnam Thamasah Parasthaath ". They revealed to the world that they found a resplendent, self-effulgent Mahapurusha. It is not in the outer world and by outward vision. They declared that they found Him within their own self, their own divine feelings and their own body, by an inward vision.
The Body Is A Temple
You must make efforts to have the vision of the
Chinmayamoorthy (embodiment of Divine Consciousness) within the human body . The body is a temple which houses God. This is a chariot in which God moves. God is taken in a ceremonial procession installed in this chriot. Hence we should not neglect or fill it with impurities like evil deeds . This body must be engaged in sacred and selfless activities.
This body is like a boat that ferries you across the Bhava Sagara (the ocean of birth and death and the sorrow resulting out of it.)
This body cannot be obtained easily. This has come to you as a reward for the meritorious deeds you performed in several of your previous births. Therefore, to engage this body in wrong ways, is to waste the great merit accumulated in several previous births.
"Janthunam Nara Janma Durlabam" - so goes saying. It is very very difficult to get a human birth. In fact, it is our greatest fortune to have got this human life.
