HINDUISM: God, the problem solver: II

Sacred TextsHINDUISM: God, the problem solver: II

God identification when complete is God realisation. The more we can counteract our identification with the Body, Mind and Intellect (difficult for sure), the closer we are to divinity and bliss. An easier way for common people like us is to treat our bodies as the temple of God. The very energy mental and physical that emanates from us then, is the divine beam of that radiance that emerges from the holy light that glows at His altar. He breathes through us, He acts through us, the dynamic brilliance that shines forth from our intellect as thoughts and ideas, is Him alone. If that is true for us, then it is also true that all living beings also are a living proof of His presence alone. Then whom can we not love as Him? I know, the common lament is, “How can we love people who are wicked, cruel, selfish and mean?” When one’s little self expands in love to an all enclosing embrace, it loses the separating force of I and you. If one part of your body is diseased, the rest of the body doesn’t hate it or cut it off, rather it nurses it soothes it and cures it back to health. One begins to look at all with an admiring sense of the bewitching variety of His creation.

Acceptance comes with love. We love a tiger as he is. Do we ever question why he doesn’t eat grass, or that why doesn’t he look gentle as a deer? We don’t expect Lata Mangeshkar to bat like a Sachin or Virat, or for a cricketer to sing like her. The whole world is understood as one big family and each being is loved for what one is. When you bloom in love, you bloom like a fragrant flower. Swami Chinmayananda ji said, “When a rose plant has flowers, it sheds its fragrance in all directions not expecting thanks from anybody, irrespective of whether it grows in a public garden or in the seclusion of a forest. Let the rose plant be your advisor regarding service. in the same way do your duty without expecting any reward or publicity.”
