Favorable things are
pleasing and unfavorable things are displeasing. Both these are the kind that will come and
go, and they are temporary. Simply endure these. If good times come, then
endure them, and if bad times come, then
too endure them. In favorable times you become pleased and in unfavorable
times you become displeased, then you have not endured it. This is the mistake you have made. You are not one that comes and goes. You are not temporary. You are eternal and the "vikaar"
i.e. distortions, modifications and impressions come and go. When
you blend with the temporary, then you believe the modifications and
distortions to be in you. He that
remains, blends with he that comes and goes – this itself is the mistake. If
you become established in, then you will have knowledge of favorable and
unfavorable, but you will not be affected by them. This is liberation.
Liberation is everlasting, therefore after liberation one does not get
bound. "yazgyaatvaa na punarmohamevam yaasyasi paandava" (Gita 4/35), "Acquiring that knowledge of the self you will no
more be subjected to delusion." The reason is that in fact, there is no
delusion in you. You only have to experience your real self. On this subject, the extent to which I am eager and longing
to tell you, that much eagerness is not in you.
Pleasure
and pain are the
kind that come and go, and they reach till the mind-intellect, at the
very maximum they reach the ego. "Ego" is in a single location,
because it is seen. Just as this thing is seen, so is "ego" seen.
Ego is not seen with the eyes, but there is
knowledge of "I". All "vikaars" (impression, distortions, modifications) only
reach the "I". The light in which this
"egoism" is seen, in that light there is
no vikaars (distortions). That
in which there is distortion, that too you know and you also know the
distortions. It there any distortions
in the "knowing"? Do not blend with
"egoism". Blending with egoism, is
remaining established in Nature. It is "apara
prakruti" (lower nature), whereas
you are the embodied soul, of higher
nature. This higher nature has assumed this
world -
"yayedam dhaaryate jagat." (Gita
7/5). By
which the whole universe is given existence" (Gita 7/5) It
is by sustaining and
giving existence to this world, that you are trapped in these
distortions. I am this body, this body is mine, I am the mind, the
mind is mine; I am the Intellect, the intellect is mine, I am the
egoism, the egoism is mine -
acceptance and believing so, is giving existence to the world.
The "jeev" (embodied
soul) is a part of God, but jeev not
remaining established in God, becomes
established in Nature (Gita 15/7). The
lower nature is a very good child, as the poor thing, remains
established in
itself. It does not stay established in
God. You are independent, you are sentient. By being sentient, you
do not remain in your "self", and you also become established in
Nature. God has given such a beautiful couplet - "manah
shashthaaneeindriyaaniprakrutisthaani"! (to be continued)
