The Soul Is Brahm
Do you know you're self? It is
not merely the physical body and the name given it that defines your identity.
Your true self is the soul. You need to begin by restraining your senses and
controlling your mind to look introvert and at least feel your mind first. The
realization of the soul element is much deeper and sublime….; this is the
ultimate accomplishment, absolute joy and completeness, for which you have been
taking birth life after life.
Break the shell of ignorance and
illusion and bath in the radiance of pure knowledge. Your devotion, worship,
study, labor, should all be focused at self-refinement by uprooting your vices
and flaws and inculcating virtuous tendencies and self-study in the light of
the thoughts and teachings of enlightened personalities, sages and saints.
Recognize your inner quest for joy, which because of your illusion and
negligence is wrongly conceived by your mind as the passions for worldly
pleasures… The pleasures of the senses, satisfaction of worldly possessions is
not only momentary, it further drags you in the darkness and eventually throws
you in the mire of discontent, sufferings and sorrows.
Come out of your day dreaming.
Awaken your wisdom. Strive to experience the light of your soul, which is
omnipotent, al-fulfilling, eternal bliss and ultimate reality - the Brahm
Your Prana Pervades Everywhere
Gayatri Vidya enlightens you to
see the fact that the same soul is present in everyone. Same Prana (vital
spiritual energy) is flowing everywhere in the cosmos, in every being. Your
true welfare lies in the welfare of all. Others' pains are yours too. Therefore
you should never accept or expect any benefit, which is going to trouble or
harm anybody else in some way…. Do not regard anyone as inferior to you; avoid
judging or discriminating people on your scale. You should expand the domain of
"self-interests" to wider and wider parts of the human society. Let
the feeling of oneness, benevolence and self-less love expand beyond any
limit….
Don't behave with others in a way
that you would not like others behave with you. Every one expects others to be
nice to him, he expects none to ever harm, cheat, hurt or insult him… He wants
friends and relatives to be kind and supporting whenever he needs. But then he
should also observe the same with others…. If you care for others, be good to
them, and then only you can expect them to care for you and be good. As you
sow, so you will reap….
The happiness or joy of others in
a way contributes to yours too. Welfare of the world is the welfare of all
individuals, because, there is one cosmic soul manifested in all beings. The
devotees of Gayatri should realize this teaching and expand selfishness into
selflessness. This is the sole way to spiritual accomplishments and divine evolution
of the individual self.
