Awareness that you are searching for…the deliverance from all the so called inflictions and challenging circumstances you are experiencing…
Its all in the Space that you occupy. If the Earth element catches fire, its remains become ash. If water engulfs earth everything decays.
The more you resist and pull the greater is the entanglement. True liberation is from the clutches of ego in ignorance.
What does it take to the awareness of letting go completely? The ability to see beyond the temporary illusions of attachment takes profound faith.
For faith is all there is.Without it nothing is.
Interestingly I wrote this contemplation while reading ‘Gajendra Moksham story & Stotram .
Here is the story below
Gajendra Moksham is one of most spiritually significant stories in the Srimad Bhagavatam A story of divine intervention and total surrender.
The story is set in Mount Trikuta, where Gajendra, the majestic king of the elephant herd went to drink water from the lake and pick up the lotus for worship. There Makara a powerful crocodile clasped his leg… it’s said for 1000 years a fierce tug of war ensued . Inspite of Gajendras strength as he was in the water which was the crocodiles element he began to lose his strength.
The Realization
While family and friends tried their best to help in time they too couldn’t release him . As he grew exhausted trying Gajendra realised that his physical might nor his kin could save him.
And then in total surrender in faith he lifted a lotus flower towards heaven and offered a soul stirring prayer to God Vishnu. But instead of asking for life he asked for ultimate liberation from the clutches of ignorance.
God Vishnu hears sincere plea and with his (divine discus) Sudarshana Chakra swiftly severes the crocodiles head and pulls Gajendra to safety and grants him Moksha (salvation)
This is a story of complete trust in the power of faith and divine grace.
I am grateful to all the seasons To wish for only one season Can be cruel to the world As nature balances itself Through every season So I wish for cycles of seasons All in good time Then no summer is too hot Or winter too cold to bear.
I wish for balance In the seasons to come Be it rain or autumn For nature to survive& thrive The seasons must come and go And thats what is best for all.
To learn from nature On the art of balance Of giving & receiving If the sun gives more The energy explodes If it reduces its emission All is dense and dark
The energy of nature Is best in equilibrium In the giving & receiving Like action & inaction Balances output & inputs Rest & recovering phases Prevents draining of energy Creating sustainable balance.
Space allows and restrains you all at the same time In this and every now, space is filled with infinite possibilities. Abundance and scarcity of potential is the truth in coexistence, shifting as you perceive space. Space is a dynamic in the fluidity.
Space is what you make of it.
As what you sense in space, stays in space
So what happens in space stays in space.
Space is filled with wonder. An expansive phenomena.
Feeling of space for you and I is deeply different.
Is there a divide at all between the physics and metaphysical space or is it actually interweaved & deeply interconnected.
Just a question of how open we are to understanding Space & the possibilities in its potential… Its all in around and beyond there.
Every morning in my moments of gratitude, I reflect on the things that I could have some times taken for granted. It has become a consistent habit for many years now…
In these contemplations there is often much that emerges, sometimes what’s apparent is not what is, and sometimes what is, is not all…
Today it was all about strength, not the kind that makes you go on, to push further but actually the kind that is gentle and quiet, I am talking of that which is often invisible.
What came up was …
That strength doesn’t have to proclaim That strength is often that which is hidden in you That surfaces in the storms That strength too needs rest to recover and its ok That strength is seen in the so called small ordinary moments of life in subtle ways That strength needs no nudging but nurturing in gratitude, for it appears whenever in need as a force of nature. That every one of your strengths and my strengths are valuable in our lives to make it whole and complete.
Gratitude to all spheres of strength in need for its a strength in deed.
