UNLESS MIND IS MADE TO ANCHOR ITSELF AT LORD’S FEET, IT WILL ALWAYS BE RESTLESS #Blog0073

UNLESS MIND IS MADE TO ANCHOR ITSELF AT LORD’S FEET, IT WILL ALWAYS BE RESTLESS

Excellent Introspection article & Very True: 

Unless mind is made to anchor itself at Lord’s feet, it will always be restless & looking for “next moment”/ “next destination”/  “on hunt for a different सुख” as we (basically our “mind” as our subtle body (,i.e., mind always exists even after death & accompanies us to next birth & always remains -basically we are nothing but our mind (मन) constitutionally parts & parcel of Lord but separated for ages from Him – so our mind is always on the lookout for eternal bliss available only in Lord but mind does not know where to find exactly that same bliss – our “good sense” (inner conscience) has to act wisely & remind the foolish mind to find love only in Lord & nowhere else – only then it can find peace & rest – otherwise it’ll always be full of anxieties

Mind is dumb - मन ना अच्छा है ना बुरा है मन ना आपका मीत है ना आपका शत्रु है 

कबीर तो कहते हैं "मन के हारे हार है, मन के जीते जीत, मन ही मिलावे राम से, मन ही करे फजीत" (फजीत confound, confuse)

मन केवल पकड़ना, ग्रहण करना जानता है, विचार करना नहीं जानता

मन ना बुरा है ना भला है, बस संसार को पकड़ के बैठ गया है 

भूलकर बैठा है

मन तुच्छ वस्तु छोड़ कर उच्च वस्तु को पकड़ना जानता है 

mind is always eager & looking for to grab a “more” pleasurable thing – on getting something better, it would drop “lesser” item

इसे प्रभु का नाम बताइए, प्रभु का रूप पकड़वाइए – केवल तभी it can find peace (शांति) -never otherwise as otherwise mind would keep holding to petty worldly pleasures – mind needs  to be controlled by wisdom/conscience of soul – otherwise mind controls us & we do as our mind dictates 

हम वही करते हैं जो हमारा मन कहता है इसीलिए मन को एक श्रेष्ठतम भाव का सेवन करवाना चाहिए

और वो श्रेष्ठतम भाव है प्रभु की प्रीती 

एक बार मन को प्रभु की प्रीति का “चस्का” लग गया तो बाकी सब तुच्छ मन अपने-आप छोड़ देगा 

और यह चस्का केवल सत्संग  में ही लग सकता है

Taine kahan laga di aesi der

 

तैने कहाँ लगाई ऐसी देर,अरे ओ सांवरिया 

झूठे जग को छोड़ कर

आई तेरे द्वार

मेरे बीत गए कितने जनम हाय मिला न तेरा प्यार

सनेही प्रीतम प्यारे 

खोलो अब तो द्वार, दूर करो दोष हमारे 

इक भाया  तेरा प्यार, मेरे दिलदार अनूठे, हरी जगत के सभी सुहाने नाते झूठे

झूठे जग को छोड़ कर आई तेरे द्वार

मेरे बीत गए कितने जनम हाय मिला न तेरा प्यार 

 

(जितना मेरे वश में था, जितनी मेरी औकात थी, उतना तो मैंने किया )

 

अपने आशिक़ के सब्र का और न इम्तिहान लो, ये (tolerance ,patience ,धैर्य )

कई जन्मो से तरसा हूँ तेरी मोहब्बत को

अब तो ये चेहरा पहचान लो

हर जन्म में नया चैहरा ले कर आया

कहीं तुम भी भूल भुलैयां में पड़ जाओ

ग़फ़लत में न पड़ जायो

इसलिए तुम्हे याद दिला रहा हूँ

तुम जानते हो सबके अरमानों की

मेरे भी अरमाने दिल जान लो

कि  इस कश्ती को भी किनारा मिल जाये

गर पतवार तुम थाम लो

मुझको तेरी तमन्ना, मुझे तेरी आरज़ू है, mujhko teri tamanna, mujhe teri arzoo hai : Vinod Agarwal Bhajan lyrics

https://rb.gy/9ww3ik

mujhko teri tamanna, mujhe teri arzoo hai

मुझको तेरी तमन्ना, मुझे तेरी आरज़ू है

न दौलत से, न दुनिया से, न घर आबाद करने से,

तसल्ली दिल को मिलती है, खुदा को याद करने से

किस काम का ये जीवन, तेरा प्यार अगर न पाया

तुझसे न दिल लगाया ,तुझको ना अगर रिझाया (pleased)

तुम बिन अँधेरी दुनिया, सुनसान चार सूं है

आँखों में हो तसव्वुर (remembrance),दिल में हो

याद तेरी

तेरी याद की महक से महक जाये दुनिया मेरी

दौलत भी मेरी तू है, मेरी ज़िन्दगी भी तू है

मुझको तेरी तमन्ना, मुझे तेरी आरज़ू है

जिस दिल में हो न पैदा, सांवल (Krishna) लगन तुम्हारी

बर्बाद ज़िन्दगी है, बेचैन रूह बेचारी

उस दिल का क्या है कहना, जिस दिल में तू ही

तू है

मुझको तेरी तमन्ना, मुझे तेरी आरज़ू है

मुझे  है तलाश  तेरी, मुझे तेरी आरज़ू है

हूँ खुशनसीब मुझ पर, नज़रे करम है तेरा 

हो क्यों न नाज़ मुझको, सांवल (Krishna) मैं दास तेरा 

मेरे दिल में तू ही तू है, मेरा एक तू ही तू है

मुझको तेरी तमन्ना, मुझे तेरी जुस्तजू  है   

मुझे  है तलाश  तेरी ,मुझे तेरी आरज़ू है

GITA-SHLOKA-4.21 As a machine part requires oiling and cleaning for maintenance, similarly, a Krsna conscious man maintains himself by his work just to remain fit for action in the transcendental loving service of the Lord, 4th Aug

GITA-SHLOKA-4.21 As a machine part requires oiling and cleaning for maintenance, similarly, a Krsna conscious man maintains himself by his work just to remain fit for action in the transcendental loving service of the Lord.

TRANSLATION

Such a man of understanding acts with mind and intelligence perfectly controlled, gives up all sense of proprietorship over his possessions and acts only for the bare necessities of life. Thus working, he is not affected by sinful reactions.

PURPORT

A Krsna conscious person does not expect good or bad results in his activities.

His mind and intelligence are fully controlled.

He knows that he is part and parcel of the Supreme, and therefore the part played by him, as a part and parcel of the whole, is not his by choice but is chosen for him by the Supreme and is done only through His agency.

When the hand moves, it does not move out of its own accord, but by the endeavor of the whole body.

A Krsna conscious person is always dovetailed with the supreme desire, for he has no desire for personal sense gratification.

He moves exactly like a part of a machine.

As a machine part requires oiling and cleaning for maintenance, similarly, a Krsna conscious man maintains himself by his work just to remain fit for action in the transcendental loving service of the Lord.

He is therefore immune to all the reactions of his endeavors.

Like an animal, he has no proprietorship even over his own body.

A cruel proprietor of an animal sometimes kills the animal in his possession, yet the animal does not protest.

Nor does it have any real independence.

A Krsna conscious person, fully engaged in self-realization, has very little time to falsely possess any material object.

For maintaining body and soul, he does not require unfair means of accumulating money.

He does not, therefore, become contaminated by such material sins.

He is free from all reactions to his actions.

Bhagvatam : LORD KRSNA ESPECIALLY SELECTED ARJUNA FOR INSTRUCTION IN SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE BECAUSE ARJUNA HAPPENED TO BE A GREAT DEVOTEE AND CONFIDENTIAL FRIEND,3rd Aug

Bhagvatam :   LORD KRSNA ESPECIALLY SELECTED ARJUNA FOR INSTRUCTION IN SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE BECAUSE ARJUNA HAPPENED TO BE A GREAT DEVOTEE AND CONFIDENTIAL FRIEND.    SIMILARLY, GREAT PERSONALITIES ALSO SPEAK TO THE ADVANCED, NOT TO SHÜDRAS, VAISYAS OR UNINTELLIGENT MEN.

TRANSLATION

My dear sir, it appears that the influence of your great spiritual knowledge is hidden. Factually you are bereft of all material association and fully absorbed in the thought of the Supreme. Consequently you are unlimitedly advanced in spiritual knowledge. Please tell me why you are wandering around like a dullard. O great, saintly person, you have spoken words approved by the yogic process, but it is not possible for us to understand what you have said. Therefore kindly explain it.

PURPORT

Saintly people like Jada Bharata do not speak ordinary words.

Whatever they say is approved by great yogis and those advanced in spiritual life.

That is the difference between ordinary people and saintly people.

THE LISTENER MUST ALSO BE ADVANCED TO UNDERSTAND THE WORDS OF SUCH EXALTED, SPIRITUALLY ADVANCED PEOPLE AS JADA BHARATA.

BHAGAVAD-GITÄ WAS SPOKEN TO ARJUNA, NOT TO OTHERS.

LORD KRSNA ESPECIALLY SELECTED ARJUNA FOR INSTRUCTION IN SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE BECAUSE ARJUNA HAPPENED TO BE A GREAT DEVOTEE AND CONFIDENTIAL FRIEND.

SIMILARLY, GREAT PERSONALITIES ALSO SPEAK TO THE ADVANCED, NOT TO SHÜDRAS, VAISYAS, OR UNINTELLIGENT MEN.

Sometimes it is very risky to give great philosophical instructions to ordinary people, but Sri Chaitanya Mahäprabhu, for the benefit of the fallen souls of Kali-yuga, has given us a very nice instrument, the chanting of the Hare Krsna mantra.

The general mass of people, although shüdras and less, can be purified by chanting this Hare Krsna mantra.

Then they can understand the exalted philosophical statements of Bhagavad-gitä and Srimad-Bhägavatam.

Our Krsna consciousness movement has therefore adopted the chanting of the Hare Krsna mahä-mantra for the general masses.

When people gradually become purified, they are instructed in the lessons of Bhagavad-gitä and Srimad-Bhägavatam.

Materialistic people like stri, shüdra and dvija-bandhu cannot understand words of spiritual advancement, yet one can take to the shelter of a Vaisnava, for he knows the art of enlightening even shüdras in the highly elevated subject matter spoken in Bhagavad-gitä and Srimad-Bhägavatam.
