|| Shree Hari ||Connection, Disconnection and Unionसंयोग, वियोग और योग
continued......
Eternal union is constantly and naturally attainable to all, but an aspirant cannot grasp it without quest to know. The reason being that the power to grasp it is in that “quest to know”. Just as if the food that is cooked is good, but if one is not hungry, one cannot eat it, and even if he eats it, it does not get digested properly, by which it does not give him energy.
As long as the “quest to know” is not awakened, till then there is a delay in attainment of the Essence, the Divinity. On the awakening of that quest, there is no delay whatsoever. When there is no other insistence whatsoever, then on the awakening of that quest to know, one immediately attains Eternal Union. If an aspirant has an insistence about his own organization, opinions, monism-dualism, devotion, knowledge, yog, etc, then he will not quickly attain realization of the Essence. Saints have said, ‒
मतवादी जानै नहीं, ततवादी की बात ।
सूरज ऊगा उल्लुवा, गिनै अँधेरी रात ॥
हरिया तत्त विचारियै, क्या मत सेती काम ।
तत्त बसाया अमरपुर, मतका जमपुर धाम ॥
Quesion ‒ What is an easy means of realizing Eternal Union (Nitya Yog) ?
Answer ‒ In this world whatever duality that we see, favorable-unfavorable, pleasure-pain, existent-non-existent, honor-dishonor, criticism-praise etc, all of them come together and later part. If one thing about both these - the coming together and separation, is that the coming together is temporary and the separation is permanent. If one accepts the eternal separation of this world, then one will experience the eternal union with God.
If there is a connection with any thing, person etc. in this world, then in the end a disconnection is inevitable ‒
सर्वे क्षयान्ता निचयाः पतनान्ताः समुच्छ्रया: ।
संयोगा विप्रयोगान्ता मरणान्तं च
जीवितम् ॥
‘The end result of all hoardings is annihilation, the end of all worldly progress is downfall, the end result of all unions is separation and the end of life is death.’
Dis-connection is eternal - this is every man’s experience. This is not a new point. Previously, there was a dis-connection, later on too only disconnection will remain, and even during connection, there is continuously disconnection that is taking place; therefore disconnection is constant. On accepting the permanent, the impermanent will be renounced. Renunciation of the temporary is the main work of a spiritual aspirant. In fact, the significance is of separation (dis-connection, viyog) only,
not of connection (coming together). An aspirant makes the mistake that he accepts the coming together as real and gives it significance, but does not give significance to the separation. In separation he longs for the union; just as when there is no money, then he longs for money. If he did not link with the union, and linked with separation, giving significance to separation only, then he will be
