MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 942

Radhe krishna,
Good afternoon& have a blessed day,

Dispassion must be of that type that is born of pure viveka
(nitya-anitya vastu viveka - discrimination between the real and the
unreal). This is a rare commodity, a rare virtue. Seek everlasting
bliss and peace in the Atman or the soul within by purifying the mind
and practising meditation. This is the only remedy to get rid of the
pains of samsara (worldly existence).

The Upanishads say: “uttishthata, arise,” and then they say, “jagrata,
awake.” Why did they not say, “jagrata, uttishthata”? Because
uttishthata symbolises the shaking off of tamas and jagrata means to
be awake, aware, awakened—a state of sattva. And at the very beginning
of the Gita, Lord Krishna says to Arjuna: “kshudram hridayadaurbalyam
tyaktvottishtha parantapa (Cast off this mean weakness of the heart.
Stand up, O scorcher of the foes). Therefore, He repeats the
Upanishadic call of uttishthata—stand up.
