Pure and Adulterated Happiness

Verily those who didn’t put their time and energy to good use when endowed with a human birth in their pervious with a human birth in their previous lives are see today living wretched and miserable lives in the species of trees ingests etc.

Did God want us to be miserable while endowing us with the human birth? He rather wanted us to partake of pure unadulterated and faired to get the pure bliss. The more one indulges in faulty pleasures, bliss. But we misused the opportunity and failed to get the pure bliss. The more he is condemned to Lowe life forms. By mindlessly indulging in faulty pleasures, we become so very corrupted that we have to be born all lover corrupted that we have to born all over again in the 8.4 millions of life forms. Those who completely become tree. They are them pecked by birds, hit by axes and have to suffer storms; and they scoot even complain or cannot ever complain or tell anything s to any body. Other become animals bright insects … why? They had been endowed with the human birth to attain the pure sinless joy but they did nothing towards away their precious life indulging in sinful animal pleasures.

Those who don’t indulge so such in sense enjoyments get the human birth again and if they move forward on the path of pure joy or devotion they become gods. But if on comes by a self realized saint and gets initiated in to the pure sinless joy, one becomes pure and sinless by avoiding such joy over a period of time. Them he is exonerated from the sufferings of 8.4 million births. An innocent man is never punished. He becomes Brahman Himself. Therefore one should imbibe the sinless joy. Pure joy is one own
Real self. One savoring the pure sinless joy does neither suffer himself manor exploit others. One indulging in sinful joy brigs pain and misery to himself as well as to others around him.

“An ideal saint doesn’t

Inflict pain on himself or other.

He lives in the garden of the world but

Never plucks the leaves or flowers there of

One should live in the garden of the world but should not do anything’s to cause pain and suffering to himself or to others. Hedonists is miserable himself and brings misery to other as well. Not only that he also cheaters and defrauds others.

You say Bapuji One has to resort to such things at times for the sake of one family.

Actually what you acquire by treachery and deceit will not accompany you at the time of death but the sins of treachery and deceit will. The body for the sake of which you indulged in sin will be cosigned to flames her itself, but the mind which has been sullied by that sin will go with your. What have you do done for providing coverts and luxuries to this body? You drank ate meat, resorted to lies this body has to be bunt one day. You have indulged in sin for the sake of what must be burnt and in the bargain sullied your hart, which will accompany you. Undue attachment to the grooms body will lead you to life forms like trees elephants buffaloes etc The more your attachment to ht einseticnet body more Slothful your mind becomes The more your love for the pure joy and sinless Atman, the more spiritualize your mind becomes. If you mix water with milk, it take the cooler of milk water with it with liquor it take the of milk and if you mix it with liquor similarly, if you engage themed in thoughts of the body it becomes body oriented. If you inculcate in it becomes body oriented. If you inflate in it the belief of being a Patel a sindhi a Gujarat it will accept the some accordingly. It isn’t a problem of you believe so outwardly while being aware within that all these are imagination and that you actually are the Atman, The absolute consciousness. However merge that very mind into the Supreme Brahman so that alit becomes the pure Brahman. Imbibing the pure sinless joy does not only make one blessed, but also delivers others who come into contact with him of the worldly bondage. How supremely virtuous was the life of Lord Rama, who rendered sever to His Guru obeyed his commands and thus realized His Truth consciousness Bliss Absolute self. He imbedded ad pure sinless joy which mad e Him blissful, and ever joy which blissful and even today thousands get peace and peace remembering Him. Ravenna, on Him Racana, on the other hand took the iniquitous joy of power and pelf and the result is that we burn his effigy year after year.

If you go full faith to any sell realized saint you will feel that the saint is your very own becomes he has become on with the Atamn and the Atamn is everybody ows. That is why we say Rama o my Ran We can never say Ravanan O My Reavana or even Alexander O my Alexander The pleasure which we seek through pandering to our vices and ego is impure sinful joy while the joy we seek by moving towards self realization is the pure sinless joy. There is poison innate worked dad there is festers too. It is your choice what you go for. You can opt for the ego centered living and get bound by custom and norm, bond with friends and relatives social rules and desire for appreciation and respect and you can also go for satang which helps you can also go fro by realizing helps you eraser the ego buy realizing that the pure consciousness permeates all things animate and inanimate and it He that the pure consciousness permeates all things am inmate and inanimate and it is he that gives life to your body. Ego is always centered in the body. Those hungering for bodily pleasures are anther impure sinful joy.

Some people ask snits too sleep on soft beds sit on cushioned seats wear garlands and travel by cars and aero lances Son’s they too indulge in sense enjoyments.?”

Well saints do travel in cars and atropines but important things are their motives behind becoming a sadhu.

Those who have put on saffron robes for getting honored and traveling by cars and aero planes nobody gives any respect to them. Those who have become saints for the sake of God seek no pleasure from traveling by cars and atropines and other things. They merely make use of these facilities for the sake of giving pure sinless joy to other. If a snit has to go overseas or to a distant place in the country, he cannot walk to that place. He will naturally have to use the available means of travel.

One persona is so fond of traveling by air that he is promising to offer sweets to the deity in the event of his being able to do so. He spends for his air fares and after that celebrates his air travel ad distributes Prasad as well. But the pilot and other members of the crew eager to get out of it. As soon as their duty hours are over. Traveling by plane is not a pleasure tip for them but a study. The passenger seeks pleasure from the trio the pilot doesn’t eve thought both are traveling by the same plane at the same time. Similarly the self realized and the ignitron; the enlightened and the unenlightened; both seem to be embodied riding the vehicle of the body. The ignorant seeks pleasure form living in the body, and the enlightened while living in the body uses it for a higher purpose. The pilot and the passenger both are sitting in the other son a pleasure his duty, while the other is on a pleasure trip. Do we live in the body and engage in activities of leisure or for saving other? If we are living eating and traveling by cars and aircrafts for the purpose of saving others, we reliving fro e skew of sense enjoyments we are living impure sinful life.

Human life is full of possibilities, you can become as high as you want; and you can also slide downwards as much as you want. You ca enrich your life with divine knowledge, dovetail love sever altruism and purity as mach as you want and then you can also make your life as hollow as you want devoid of these virtues. In human birth you have the privilege of dong tapasya in the form of elevating your life through virtuous deeds. Animals can’t do drugs deeds nor can they destroy their past sins. Man can destroy his past sins and also increate Karma. Animals can’t do virtuous deeds nor can they destroy their past sins. Man can destroy his past sins an also increase his karma.

“Sense enjoyments are not the purpose of this life.”

(Shri Ramacharitamanasa, Uttara Kanda: 43.1)

This body is not given to us for the sake of sense enjoyments. Instead it has been given to us to that we can imbibe the pure deeds gradually make the heart pure and the pure the heart the calmer it becomes. And the calmer is, the nearer it is to the peace personified God. Only and intense yearning for that blessed state is required. If one has that, the rest of the job is done God Himself.
