- Faith
When we strive, we achieve nothing, and when we become desperate and all but give up, the solution drops from nowhere.
That is what the Gita says. The Giver of everything is God.
When we 'strive', the ego is too fat to let the sunlight of His Grace flow through the window of our life.
In despair, we slay this fat ego and immediately discover that the sunlight was there all the time.
I have had this experience so often that now I have become a desperate hopeless live-er .
I always sail in the clouds - and find that the modern man does so too with his aeroplanes.
If he has faith in machine, I have faith in God.
- Egoless?
When we are asleep, we do not know "I am asleep" - we do not know 'Now I have abandoned even dream, and I am asleep.'
Only a third party knows it.
In the same way, when we try to do self-surrender, we shall not be able to say "I am egoless ."
Only God can know this.
Hence, Kathopanishad says: "The Self reveals itself to him whom It chooses."
- Temple
Do we not refer to the sides of our head as 'temple'?
It is the Temple of the Indwelling Presence, the Light in us.
- Perception
World is not unreal like the fifth son of a barren woman.
It is an illusion like water in a mirage.
There is some reality, falsely perceived.
- The way Dharma - Karma works
You may ignore it because of financial or physical strength.
Other people may be afraid of such strength.
But not a mosquito or a germ!
Your own hormones will respond only to the laws of Karma or Dharma which will inevitably overtake all your attempts to cheat them.
