Connection, Disconnection and Union

संयोग, वियोग और योग

continued...... 

The degree of connection that we perceive with the world,  all of it is constantly turning into dis-connection.   Resolves and doubts are also coming to an end.    If some great difficulties arise, then those too will subside.   There is great remorse when someone dies, then that mourning too will reduce on its own, without any effort on your part.   This means that all the things in this world are separating.  They are going away.  They are perishing  ‒

ऊगा सोई आथवें,       फूला सो कुम्हलाय ।

चिण्या देवल ढह पड़े, जाया सो मर जाय ॥

If you accept this eternal disconnection right now, then a lot of the turmoil will go away, and you will experience great peace.   If some man dies then there is a great jolt to the heart.   If the wealth goes away, then one feels a shock.  Why does one feel a shock?  When connection is believed to be lasting, one feels a jolt.  Therefore from the very beginning accepts that all this is going to part ways.  If someone dies, if someone goes away, then what is new about it !  It is all the kind to go away.  When the Sun sets,  there is interference in worldly dealings.  When the Sun rises,  it will surely set -  when one has these sentiments then there will not be any sorrow.   In the same way,  he who is born, will surely die;  he who has come, will surely go ‒ when one has these sentiments, then if someone dies,  or goes away,  there will not be any sorrow.  Just as when childhood goes away,  then we cannot bring it back, similarly, we cannot bring any of these things back that have separated from us,  and now too the things that we have,  they too are going away, we cannot keep them.  Previously the things that we had, are gone,  the things that we have now, are going away, and the things that are to come in the future, which of these things will last ? What is so great about the things that are the kind that will go away ?  Is there any significance to the things that are the kind to go away, to perish ?  Do not give it importance, then you will experience eternal union.  

The world was previously not with us, it will not remain with us later on, and now too, it is not with us,  therefore there is eternal separation with it.   Previously God was with us,  later on too He will remain with us, and now too He is with us, therefore there is Eternal Union with Him.  One has to not think about eternal separation or the Eternal Union. It simply IS,  as-it-is.   One has to simply realize this.  This itself is “Sahajaavastha” (a state of natural presence).
