When you do, whatever you do with one hundred percent integrity, authenticity and responsibility, you are in the space of completion. You become God!

Sri

Arjuna is now curious and wants to know more. He asks Kṛṣṇa, ‘You are telling me all this, that is wonderful. You tell me that I must perform without expectations and attachment and that I must be complete in wisdom. I would like to live that way and move on the path of wisdom. Pray, tell me what kind of a person is this, the one who always stays in the steady space of completion—sthita prajñasya kā bhāṣā samādhi-sthasya keśava (2.54). How does he behave, walk and talk? Let me model myself on him.’

For the fifth time Arjuna expresses authentic interest in what Kṛṣṇa is saying. Arjuna has realized that whatever he said earlier had arisen from his confusion, his patterns. Arjuna is intelligent enough to know that he does not know.

Once we choose to live based on responsibility, we know our real present needs and not futuristic wants. We rise into the present moment of completion.

Meditation is just being. It is experiencing the present moment without resistance

Sri

Meditation is falling in tune with nature, with Existence. This is your natural state, your true state of bliss. This is connecting with the Ultimate Consciousness.

You see, the universe or the macrocosm is made up of the five elements – earth, water, fire, air and space. In the same way, the body, the microcosm, is also made up of the same five elements. We can relate to the macrocosm, the Whole, the Divine, through any or all of these five elements. The microcosm can experience the macrocosm by relating with these five elements that pervade both.

Cosmos responds to your thoughts, to your prayers, to your being, because it is intelligence!

Sri

Whether it is the energy in the atom or the energy in the cosmos, there is a big chaos in the energy play. Within that chaos, there is an order that you cannot even imagine. When chaos moves in an order, it creates what is called consciousness or intelligence.

Anything in chaos is wild and energetic. Anything that has order is dull.

In our life, we can see: anything in chaos, anything wild, radiates energy. We can see that when kids are allowed to be free, they are so wild. They radiate so much energy. In our own lives, if we are allowed to break some rule, we feel so much joy. We radiate so much energy. Chaos is directly related to energy. The freedom of chaos, and not being bound by rules, is the reason why we feel so energetic while dancing freely, without any decided steps. The moment we know we are bound, we will be dull. The dullness will automatically enter into us, even if it does not affect us directly physically.

We are a microcosm of the macrocosmic intelligence, which is a beautiful orderly chaos!

Sri

The microcosm, that is this individual body, is intelligence. In the same way, the macrocosm, that is the universe, is also intelligence, pure energy. The same intelligent energy which runs the universe is also running your body.

The universe, the macrocosm, looks like there is a lot of chaos. There are so many planets, stars, comets and all the heavenly bodies existing all together in the universe. But they all move so precisely in a beautiful order, with no police or regulatory authority! Imagine if one planet moved out of its orbit. There would be so many collisions in space! This is what is meant by the words ‘order in chaos’.

What we think is chaos in the universe is actually beautiful order. This is enough proof to show that the universe is not just power, it is a combination of power and intelligence. The intelligence is nothing but the energy of the universe. Energy IS intelligence.

That is why this energy can heal a person in a purely energy based healing system. It is pure cosmic intelligence that knows which part of the body to flow into and heal. For example, that is why even without knowing where the liver is located in the body, you can heal the liver with healing energy. Energy is pure intelligence. When we realize this power and order in the macrocosmic chaos, we enter into bliss. Continue reading “We are a microcosm of the macrocosmic intelligence, which is a beautiful orderly chaos!”

Whenever your mind suffers with worry, immediately be aware that somewhere you are interpreting the ways of Existence with your own ignorant mental setup!

Sri

When you clearly understand that you are part of the grand plan of Existence, no worry can take root in you. Existence is a live energy being. It has tremendous intelligence with which it runs the whole show. We are all part of it. The same intelligence that conducts Existence is available to us too. If we tune in to it, our actions will be fluid and spontaneous like the happenings of Existence. If we don’t tune into it, we will harbor worry and fear and remain closed.

There is so much to learn from Existence!

Take animals, for example. Have you ever heard of worried sheep or cows? No! They conduct their lives like you. They are born, they reproduce, they find food, and they face death, just like human beings. You may say, ‘They don’t have to face the challenges that we have to face.’ What about their other activities like reproduction, facing death, etc.? Are they worried about all that? No! But these things happen to them too. So understand that Existence is running this whole macrocosm. It can surely take care of you as well! Surrendering to the laws of Existence is the greatest relaxation from worry. Once you surrender, you start seeing that everything that happens is auspicious! Nothing causes you any worry. You find blessings in everything. Either there is surrender or worry, never both. Once you surrender, you see that Existence plans even the small things beautifully, only we don’t see it.

The Isavasya Upanishad*, an ancient vedic* text, says, ‘The one who sees all living entities as spiritual sparks, can never have anxiety on any account!’ Continue reading “Whenever your mind suffers with worry, immediately be aware that somewhere you are interpreting the ways of Existence with your own ignorant mental setup!”
