GLIMPSES OF THE DYNAMIC MOMENT OF MY LIFE..
'na tv evaham jatu nasam na tvam neme janadhipah
na caiva na bhavisyamah sarve vayam atah param'
'Certainly at anytime did I, you nor all these kings did not exist and certainly never shall we (all) cease to exist!'
..Srimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter II Sloka 12
The Sacred Message when seen at time level which comprises of series of moments of life establishes the Soul to be eternally the same at all the moments!
Sage Narada once asked Lord Krishna,
'What is the 'Illusion' in this world?'
The Lord smiled and said,
'I will tell you.. I am a bit thirsty.. Can you get me some water from one of the houses seen in distance?'
The Sage went to that Colony to fetch the waters.. An attraction there held Him and soon He was permanently into a series of activities feeling fully satisfied..
One day a certain disaster struck him.. He soon became utterly helpless and miserable and was all in tears..
At that point of time, a kind hand touched Him.. As He looked up, He saw Lord Krishna by His side asking with a smile,
'Dear! Where is the water?'
That's how the 'Moment of Fascination' dictates us wherein Great Sage Narada too couldn't escape the power of illusion embedded therein!
As I'm far, far away from seeing this Truth,
my bundle of past experiences invariably and continuously compare such on coming moments with those of the past simultaneously evaluating whether it is a regrettable type or worth having type equally injecting into the future moments a hope of repeating the pleasant and avoiding the unpleasant..
A night watchman on his usual rounds was heard shouting,
'Awake and be alert!'
Every one woke up, looked out, checked the locked doors and went back to sleep..
A Great Personality too got up and instantly thinking within,
'Am I sleeping in my life?',
opened the doors, moved into forest to meditate and finally attained Salvation!
Such a moment is sure the Golden Moment in one's life but
there's nothing I can do till that clarity surfaces in me and equally
there is a lot I can do in my life for that to happen..
And that doing is nothing but..
Constantly withdrawing my attention from the past remembrances
except from the knowledge part of those
and
stop becoming conscious of the future uncertainties except the care part required therein
there by truly celebrating today's
The Dynamic Moment!

ReplyDeleteThanks Durga Prasad.. Love the comment!
DeleteThanks Jyotirmoy for promoting the Post on G+!
ReplyDeleteClarity - it is not achievable by us, common mortals, striving for this and that, yearning for this and that....Narada was a sage but still got trapped....we are mostly like those who heard the watchman's cry and for a moment thought about it and then went back to sleep....A very interesting post Sreedhar Sir....
ReplyDeleteRightly confirmed again the message here, Sunaina.. That's how our ignorance works in us eternally.. But no despair.. Continue doing the Right alone is the Savior here.. Thanks for the valuable comment.. Best wishes!
