Radhe krishna,
Good morning & have a blessed day,
LIFE EXPERIENCE - "I"
Swami Sivananda
Life here is experience. It is experience through the senses. The
experience hangs on " I ". One says, 'I see, I hear, I eat, I know ".
Without “I", there is no experience. This experience is transitory and
illusory, but the experience which is eternal. It is life in the
eternal It is infinite, changeless and divine.
Life on this earth plane is essenceless; it is subject to a thousand
afflictions. It is chaotic and
fragmentary. Nevertheless, this one inner purpose, this spiritual
objective makes it precious,
most invaluable and most meaningful. Therefore, most fortunate and
blessed are you all, that
this inner depth of meaning has been given to you, that you have been
enriched with this
knowledge of the spiritual dimension to your life. Your life is gifted
with this inner depth of a
higher meaning and purposefulness. And therefore you must deem
yourselves blessed. You
must deem yourselves rarely fortunate, and therefore, with a heart
filled with gratitude and with
sustained enthusiasm and keen eagerness, you must pursue this path and
move towards the Goal,
each day drawing nearer and nearer to it. And each day you must go on
devising ways and means
of facing challenges and overcoming obstacles. And you must be ever
intent upon living your
life as a seeker, as a Jijnasu, as a Mumukshu, being fully aware all
the time of its implications.
To this end, ponder the lives of saints and sages, mystics and seekers
who have gone before us,
who have blazed a trail and have left for us great shining ideals,
examples of what the life
spiritual is like, examples of what a true devotee of God is like and
how he lives his life.
Saints and sages are to us the great lights upon the spiritual path by
which we can guide
our own lives towards the ultimate fulfillment of our existence, viz.,
God-experience, divine
perfection, total transcendence of our limitations in consciousness
and shining with the splendour
of our pristine true nature, our essential reality, our true eternal
identity which is divinity. No
less and no more. For, He has made us in His image. To be perfect as the Maker
that potential
lies within each one of us. It is inherent in us, awaiting to be made
manifest. And that is
life
exerting every moment to manifest the Divinity that lies within us.
