We are God's
( Hum Bhagwaan ke Hai )
( Hum Bhagwaan ke Hai )
Shree Hari
In the Srimad Bhagavadgita Lord Krishna declares -
Mamaivaansho jeevaloke jeevabhootah sanaatanah |
Manahshasthaaneeindriyaani prakrutisthaanti karashati || (Gita 15/7)
In this world, the self, having become an embodied soul, is an eternal fragment (part) of only Mine. But It draws to Itself the five senses with the mind for the sixth which are abiding in Nature i.e. It assumes them as Its.
As a son belongs to his father, so do we more singularly belong to God. But we, instead of accepting God as ours, assume the body, senses, mind and intellect, which abide in Prakriti (Nature) as ours - this is bondage. Besides this, there is no other bondage. The body consists of parts of both – father and mother, but the self does not consist of parts of both Nature and God. We (the Self) are a part of only God – "mama eva anshh" being a part (fragment) of God, we abide in God' but we have assumed the body, which abides in Prakriti, as ours - this is our error. The fragment of Prakriti has abode in Prakriti, but we (the self) have developed disinclination for God. The inert Prakriti remained a wlrthy (dutiful) son but we (the self) became unworthy (undutiful) sons.
In infinite universes, out of infinite things, nothing is ours, and nothing will provide us with bliss. Even the kingdom of infinite universes will not provide us with bliss. How can a thing, which does not belong to us, provide us with bliss? It can't. God, Whose fragment we are and Who is really ours, can endow us with bliss. We are fragments of God and are sentient, pure and naturally a heap of bliss -
Ishvar ansh jeev abinaasi |
Chetan amal sahaj such raasi || (Manasa, Uttar 117/1)
Attachment to the modes of Prakriti (Nature) is the cause of birth of the spirit (The Self) in good and evil wombs - "kaaranam gunasangosya sadasadhyonijanmasu" (Gita 13/21).
Those, who are attached to Sattvaguna (the mode of goodness), go upwards to regions higher than the earth i.e. heaven etc. Those attached to Rajoguna (the mode of passion), remain in the middle region (earth) and those, attached to Tamoguna (mode of ignorance), sink low (lower births and lower regions).
Uurdhvam gachyanti satvasthaa madhye tishthaanti raajasaah |
Jaghanyagunavrutisthaa adho gacchyanti taamasaah || (Gita 14/18)
It means that attachment to the modes i.e. attachment to the body, senses, mind and intellect conduces a man to birth and death. Therefore a striver just today and jow now should accept the fact, "We have our affinity only with God. We are most definitely are part of God and we abide only in Him. Then there is no doubt in attaining salvation because we have accepted the reality. Our possessions such as object, ability and power etc., belong to the world and are for the world only, while we are God's and are only for Him."
