Archived chat creates a turmoil!
It is
Tuesday night and I was sitting in my home lawn, swinging by, with my laptop
and blog. Did I forget to share about my two kittens who are proudly the
carriers of their great kingdom, entering into the 4th generation🐱🐱
When the love for blogging is deep, the relationship with writing is inseparable. Amongst all the chaos of life the only thing that soothes you is pen and paper or keyboard and monitor. It is believed that a normal person has about 12000 to 60000 thoughts per day, of which 80% are negatives and others are exactly the same repetitive thoughts as the day before.
The
morning had flushed in enough memories from the past. As soon as I come home, I see lovely meal treat
prepared by my one and only- Mother chef💓 Dinner time is that time where
the whole family joins in together sharing about the hustle bustle of the day, followed by mumma serving hot frankies on the table. What more
could I have asked for in this peaceful evening!
Somehow, a restless person like me cannot stay in one mood for longer than few minutes and the
quota of those few minutes was on the verge of exhausting soon! As if my
mind had started experiencing the tremors of the upcoming storm in the mind! I
thought to go and swing a bit and play with the cats to digress myself from
that stormy wave, but to my expectation it all adds up more
and more to the breaking mood. How can one be so much destined to stay in melancholic
mood for more than needed! How can one strive daily for so much of patience and
how can one try and maintain their inner self beyond a level!
Although
these questions weren’t as horrifying as the core thing torturing my mind! Memories
from past had so much occupied my heart which was thriving to beat, but than what was stopping me? The fear of future and
the pain of the past were both weighing equally on each side of my mind.
He had played a song for me on a night when we decided to depart from each other’s
life, finally caught the queue in my playlist, it was bidding a goodbye! Today was his birthday and the least I could
do was write, write and write until my fingers cracked and my eyes wrecked!
Suddenly
looking at that tiny kitten chewing a piece of bread, made me realize that life wasn't so harsh as I was taking it! Those poor cats are unaware about what is going to happen the next moment and still were climbing on the curtains, rolling back in full
speed till they could smash their tails on the floor.
The memories that were haunting me were nothing but just the shadow of my unfulfilled wishes from the past, in other words just the perception because it never happened in real yet was just always in my dream…………..

Desires and Wants!
There are times when you do not wish to be angry but confined by the nature, you get
angry. There are three types of nature and pertaining to these types there are
different attributes that forms our behavior-
Sattavik (Goodness, Constructive, Harmonious)
Rajasik (Passion, Active, Confused)
Tamasik
(Dark, Destructive, Chaotic)
We do our karma as per our attributes and that is how it is expected. A person who has achieved the highest level of knowledge, is aware that we behave the way we are because of our nature. It is their responsibility to make the others understand. We should trust god and handover the lock and key of our karma to him and have faith in what we do, releasing our self from all the emotions that are attached to this world. Concentrating on the deeds and focusing on karma, is the only thing we have to do, irrespective of thinking about the success and failure attached behind it. The aim of life is getting freedom from different life cycles.
There will be many people around us who think they have all the possible knowledge in the world and entangled by the resulted ego and superiority, they keep on bragging about their work rather than actually what they do. Krishna says such people are called as foolish and we should maintain a safe distance from such people. We behave as per the nature we are given and so if one thinks that they can take the work out of you, by making you go against your basic nature, they are doing nothing but literally wasting their time!
Our senses are made of love and hatred. Any of us falling in trap of these emotions, is like inviting an enemy in the path of our success. Hence, we should think that desire, love, anger, hatred all are our enemies. Each of us should only be concerned only to their own doings and karma. Dying for one’s religion is good but never digress yourself in someone else’s religion.
Have you ever pondered why does a person commit sin; may it be in favor or against the nature? Do you know which factors consent him to do so? Why is one unable to walk on the path as narrated by God and why they tempt to deviate to the wrong ones? What makes them so helpless that it takes nothing for them to own lies and dishonesty? The answer to all these is just one. Desire is the evilest thing. Anger is the by-product of desire and desire originates from Rajoguna. Both of these emotions never end, in fact they keep on diluting your soul to the extent which makes your life, lifeless! The moment one starts getting inclined towards any of these bitter and negative emotions, is the indication to understand that your enemy has started taking grip on you.
Just the way smoke stashes fire, dust murks the clarity of the mirror, amnion covers the embryo, desire suppresses our knowledge. They make us so helpless that we commit sin and therefore, god has tagged desire as our enemy. Everything is within us, nothing is outside us.
Fire’s desire to combust is as strong as a human’s desire to yearn for expensive things, if its not extinguished immediately, it can burn the whole forest. No one has been able to get rid of any desire, it ends the human but wont end itself. Just the way adding fuel to the fire, enhances the flame, same way desire acts as a fuel to the destruction of our soul and ultimately the purpose of life. Before these desires take over senses and mind, we need to kill them from within as it is the anger only that makes us forget the path of karma.
Heart is better than senses and mind is better than heart, the one that is biggest of all, is our Soul. Heart can be controlled with the intellect of mind, indirectly you will be able to maintain equilibrium on your sense as well. So when senses and heart, both are in your control, mind becomes the leader. This is the way to get connected to god by the means of getting rid of all the desires and dedicating your soul towards your karma and in turn walking on a path to be one with almighty. After all Krishna only said "Soul is a part of God".

Karmayog
There is
not a single moment in which we are living without doing our Karma!
To this, Lord Krishna replies-
There are two types of faiths in this world-One is Sankhyayog which is related to knowledge, and attained by controlling our senses while focusing in god. This happens through Gyanyog and hence the person is called as a saint or the learned one. Second is Karmayog which is related to just performing your own deeds without expecting in return.
Not dedicated towards doing the deeds is also marked as committing a deed! Till the time we live on this earth and have a life, we are bound to do our karma. The one who just dramatizes that he is fasting but keeps on dreaming about the food throughout the day with his senses, is called as a deceitful person and god doesn’t consider that as a fast. The person who truly focuses his mind in all the deeds, without having any kind of greed or expectation in return, will only be considered as a Karmayogi.
Offering prayers to God in the form of fire is called as Yagnas which makes him happy. He will fulfill all your wishes without even you asking for them. On the contrary, the one who does yagna but doesn't pray to god with all this senses, and still keeps the expectation in return, is called as a burglar. That is why before entering into anything auspicious occasion, we chant god’s name and perform Yagnas. It is a medium connecting humans to the God.
Everything is give and take in this world, expecting a result without having contributed anything, is called as a manipulation. The ones who consumes food offered to gods after yagnas, becomes free form all the sins! Are we just on this planet to eat and live, if so then what’s the use of this life, do we even understand the purpose of life?! If the grains in the farms stop growing then there will be no life. Food comes from the grains and grains from the rain, rain is a result of offering fire to the gods, which is considered as a part of karma and originates from the Vedas.
Krishna says “Hey Parth, the person who does not do karma, is merely of no use, there is no existence of such person on this earth. He is ought to take births one after the other and the cycle repeats, but there is no end to his suffering. There is a meaning to the philosophy and education mentioned in Vedas and Granths which teaches us the way of life!!
The person who is engrossed in his own soul, satisfied with his own soul and lives by the way of committing his life towards his duties, no karma is applicable for him, one more big truth of life. The ratio of such people is 1:Crore. These people have already been freed from their deeds because they have gained the power and reached the stage of enlightenment, knowing whats the purpose of this life.
“A person who attains oneness with god, is not bound by any kind of duties in this world”
Detach
yourself from the attachments and work towards the fulfillment of your karma.
There is only
one leader but there are thousands followers, so decide who you want to be!
The divine power, the creator, the destroyer, the omnipresent- God, doesn’t have any duty towards the three Lokas, neither there is anything which is out of his reach, still he believes in Karma. That’s is the ultimate reason why he did not deny his role in Mahabharata. His army was with Kauravas but he was with Pandavas, as a guide and mentor of Arjuna in the form of a Charioter!
When
almighty is doing his deeds, who are we to escape!
