You have to fight endless battles with internal and external enemies

- In the realm of spirituality

- Known though unknown-Munindra

- took a deep interest in hearing someone's condemnation all his life; But that person is fine, but listening to the condemnation of others, his ears and mind became polluted.

The mind of a man who believes in immense pleasure by experiencing the constant lusts, expectations and greed in external pleasures running in G-One is immersed in impure prices and corrupt thoughts, but when he becomes free by giving up the slavery of the senses. Then a huge change like 'U turn' comes in his life.

As long as the senses were running in the outside world, his mind was in constant tension. In his life, the rush of attainment was visible and he was running blindly for it. Not one or two, but five senses were constantly nourished, so it was not easy to sit on its hind legs; But from the moment he becomes aware of self-purification, his life changes.

What was once of immense interest is no longer a mere attraction. Oops! He doesn't even look at it. In the pursuit of which he saw the ultimate and supreme goal of life. That goal is changed, that is, there is no work to be done.

At this time he has to go through a severe ordeal to move from the burning lust of the senses to the spiritual mumuksha. This is a high jump, a big leap, a revolutionary step that is not visible from the outside. But it takes a human being from one shore to the other. On one shore there were immense attractions, there was a flood of happiness and there were fantasies of future happiness, there was merriment and fun and when one jumps from there to the other shore, there are no material things or attractions, but only absolute peace of mind. Have.

There is a need to reflect on this leap from the material to the spiritual. We are talking about worldly materialism or higher spirituality, but we never think of leaps and bounds. In fact every religion has a function. Inspiring you to jump from materialism to spirituality. The first and most important ideal of the scriptures is that man recognizes the futility of the luxuries of life and leaps his life boat towards asceticism by leaps and bounds.

It is not only the delusion of the senses that is understood; But he recognizes the futility behind it. All my life I had been deeply interested in hearing someone's slander; But that person was fine, but hearing the condemnation of others, his own ears and mind became polluted. What did that soft touch give him? In this way he realizes that the senses attract man's mind, body and life behind him; But if a man sat down to sum it up, he would realize that he was there, he is there, he is there, because the five senses-like horses kept him running all the time, but the chariot of his life remained where he was. The chariot of life did not move or move at all on the path of development.

This does not mean that we should neglect our ears, eyes, tongue, or skin. Nor does it mean that the body in which these senses reside is a land of sin, or deserving of utter neglect, or a mine of hell. Many seekers make such a serious mistake and as a result the gross neglect of the body invites many ailments in their body or the body falls prematurely in the autumn of old age or disease or it disappears early.

Shrimad Rajchandra has said, "The body is a lot of buttermilk and the soul is a lot of ghee." Although both are derived from one, no one refills the lot of buttermilk, but no one refills the lot of ghee. This does not mean that buttermilk should be discarded. But in life one should know the difference between whey lota and ghee lota.

Buttermilk is more important than buttermilk, which means it is necessary to take care of the body, but in a sense it is optional, while the glory of the soul is like gheemilk, so it is the duty of the person or seeker to take care of it.

The thirst for sensual pleasures that once existed is now turned into the pursuit of transcendental pleasures. At first the mind was immersed in external attractions. Now it has an inner attraction. Gradually, it abandons external attractions and seeks to settle more and more within. Earlier, his head was shaking with some love poetry or love-poetry. Now the same head seems to shake at the sound of an anhata. Emotions were experienced in earlier transactional relationships.

If the son disobeyed a little, a mountain of pain would fall on his heart. If there was any harm done by the wife, the mind would get restless. All these events in life happen after the realization of spirituality; But it does not make the mind anxious or distressed. The person witnesses it all.

A spiritual leap is an intense desire awakened within the soul. This desire takes a person in a different direction. There is a thirst in her that Pipasa can no longer be satisfied without the union of God. There is a kind of intense thirst in this leap. He goes out to quench his thirst for Paramatma-prapti and then in his heart there is only one chanting that I have to attain Paramatma by surrendering everything.

When a person makes a spiritual leap, he has to face the difficulties of the practical world. Whoever has never had the desire to touch such a param in his life, what does he realize about this longing? Whoever does not have such intense thirst in his mind, where else can he find the identity of this thirst? As a result, one has to endure the ridicule of the transactional world.

This is the situation that Dasha wants to venture. You have to face the crises, troubles and neglects coming from the business world. What if Sant Eknath or Tukaram, Meera or Ananddhan, Vivekananda or Gandhiji were confused by the difficulties of the practical world? So he would never have 'achieved'; But his spirituality revealed an unparalleled determination in his heart.

Just as a heroic warrior overcomes the calamities on the battlefield, so the self-seeker overcomes the external and internal calamities that come after him, so the spiritual seeker fights and overcomes the external and internal calamities that come after him. Receives. This means that just as heroism is needed to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, even greater heroism is needed for the victory of internal and external enemies entering the field of spirituality.
