The ONLY object of sacrifice

VEDIC THOUGHT

"I am the only enjoyer and the only object of sacrifice. Those who donot recognize my true transcendental nature fall down." (Lord Krsna - Bhagavad-gita)

One can become free from birth, death, old age and their distresses and can enjoy nectar even in this life

Lord Krishna says- "When the embodied being (living being) is able to transcend the Three Modes of nature ie.the mode of goodness, passion and ignorance, he can become free from birth, death, old age and their distresses and can enjoy nectar even in this life"

Arjuna inquired -"O my dear lord, by what symptoms is one known who is transcendental to these modes?, what is his behavior and how does he transcend the modes of nature?"

Lord Krishna says - "He who doesnot hate illumination, attachment and delusion when they are present, nor longs for them when they dissapear, who is seated like one unconcerned, being situated beyond these material reactions of the modes of nature, who remains firm, knowing that the modes ALONE are active, who regards alike pleasure and pain, and looks on a clod, a stone and a piece of gold with an equal eye, who is wise and holds praise and blame to be the same, who is unchanged in honor and dishonor, who treats friend and foe alike, who has abondoned all fruitive undertakings-SUCH a man is said to have transcended the modes of nature"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

All above sounds so different and unrealistic but I firmly believe in the above contents, what I understand from above contents is that their is reaction and interaction to everything that we do under the sun, and hence these reactions results in some changes biologically, chemically in us which results in our bodies deteriorating, its obvious that as we are given these human life forms we are bound to act and use our body for various things but one who reaches that state of blissfullness knowing that he is in reallity only the soul and not this body though living in this body ,automatically disconnects from all the reactions that are happening with the body, in the body, may be this way our body will take much much longer time to get old than normally it does in our present life forms, because when we are situated in the self the chemical reactions within us that deteriorates our bodies may reduce drastically, see somewhere deep within this above mentioned knowledge given by Lord Krishna, their is something which can not taken just for granted, even the law of physics says that their is reaction to every action and that reaction is bound to result into something, in our human cases the result is childhood to youth, youth to old age and old age to disease / distress, we may not be able to 100% transcend the three modes of our nature but a few steps towards this direction can really do wonders as stated above, anyway......

HARE KRISHNA....

Suffering from depression and stress

If anyone is sufferring from painful depression and stress, the vedas say that chanting the hare krsna mantra can really do wonders. Causes of depression / anxiety is obviously due to negative thoughts that take control of our mind. we keep contemplating our mind with thoughts that make us happy and thoughts that causes distress.

Sounds simple that by just chanting the hare krsna mantra and remembering the beautiful form of Lord Krishna how is it going to work?. Depression as I understand is due to extreme negative approach towards life and anything that has negative also has positive attached to it. "Night" is there only because theres something we know as "daytime", the word "yes" exist because of the word "No". we understand that certain actions are "good" only because "bad" actions exist. God has provided us with "summer" season but has also given us the opposite "winter" season. So we may realise that our "mind" keeps experinting with the two "negative and positive" forces in our entire life span

But I wish I too was in totality Krishna conscious, the impact of both the good and bad, the night and day, the black and white, the yes and no, similarly the bad and good thoughts all this could reduces tremedously and we can experience bliss, our minds remain neutral and blissful in the thoughts of the wonderful form of "Lord Krishna" because he is not born as the day or night is born, he is not born like different seasons come and go, he is eternal, never ending, endless, he has no beginning, no end.

I wish I too was lucky enough to really able to concentrate in totality on the image of Lord Krishna, meditate, may be one fine day it happens to me also , anyway its obvious that in depression the mind is controlling the person and not the person controlling the mind hence mind will act and drag the individual back to baseless thoughts and make one suffer but still while remembering the form of lord and able concentrating on Krishna, bringing your mind back on the image of lord, this will go on and off in the beginning but with regular practice the depressed person will reach a stage when all the negative thoughts will start reducing and will finally vanish making one experince the highest bliss. This should work na?, what? , ya I think it works, no I mean it definetely will work..

Hare Krishna......
