|| Shree Hari ||
(Avaguna Mitnaaneka Upaaya)
It is only when the desire and craving to gain pleasure
from others is rooted out, that natural joy will manifest, and on attaining
that natural joy, the mind becomes steady.
Goswamiji Maharaj says -
Nij sukh binu mana hoyi ki theeraa | (Manasa 7/90/4)
As long as one does not attain that innate joy,
till then the mind does not become steady.
When innate joy is
attained – then that joy will be found within one's self, thereafter the
mind will not go anywhere else at all.
The sense will also automatically on their own come under his control,
they will become steady.
These vices and defects are boosted
by
1) By regarding the defects and imperfections to
be in us. 2) Also by seeing flaws and
defects in others and
3) Thirdly by lack of concern
for other's suffering and sorrow.
Now
pay
attention, by lack of concern for
other's sorrows, the flaws and defects
become established in us and sustainable.
At all times we must be alert,
that no one undergoes any suffering due to our actions. Whatever
actions I perform, let there be no harm done to anyone. In Gita, the Lord says -
Labhante brahmanirvaanamrushayah
ksheenkalmashaah |
Chinnadvaidhaa yataatmaanah sarvabhootahite
rataah ||
Gita 5/25)
"Those who are
engaged in promoting the welfare of all beings, attain Brahma."
(Gita 5:25).
God also declares,
"Te praapnuvanti maameva sarvabhootahite rataah|| (Gita 12/4)
"Those who are
engaged in the welfare of all beings, come to Me." (Gita 12:4).
A devotee of God, whether he wishes to attain God with
attributes (Saguna) or God without attributes (Nirguna),
should be deeply absorbed in the welfare of all beings. In the Gita,
the person who is engaged in the welfare of others has been called the
Supreme Yogi. God has declared in the Gita –
Aatmoupamyena
sarvatram samam paschyati yorjuna |
Sukham va yadi dukham
sa yogi paramo matah || (Gita 6/32)
O' Arjuna ! That yogi is regarded as supreme, who looks on all as one,
like his own body and who sees the pleasure and pain of all with a same eye. (Gita 6/32)
Causing distress to
others, seeing defects in others, and following the path
disapproved by the
scriptures and saints, are not easy to root out. However, this can be
possible only by continuous spiritual practices and constant good company.
Avoid the path disapproved by the saints and scriptures. Just as we do not wish anyone to do
wrong to us, to steal our things, to find faults in us or to behave
badly with us; likewise, we should not behave in an undesirable manner
with others.
