Noble Path to Moral Life

Bhagwaan Ji

Ashirwaad

sankalp wohi sarthak hota hai

Jis mein doosroon ka hith ho

Doosroon ka hith sadhana hi kartavya kehlata hai (Bhagwaan Ji)

By self dedication, one obtains concreation (Sanskar)

By concretions, one obtains grace (Kripa)

By grace, one obtains reverence (Aadar Satkar)

By reverence, one obtains truth (Yajur Veda)

I searched everywhere for the bliss and wearied myself in vain. But I found it very hard for everyone to reach at the hidden knowledge. I then started deep thinking and meditating and arrived near the abode nectar (Amrit).

It is strange though the filled jars of truth are with everyone. Yet no one cares to drink from them. This world is neither good nor bad. It is the individual approach which makes it either one or the other. For fools and vain people it is like a hot frying pan. But for self controlled and balanced yogis it is a source of great knowledge. It has to be (only) gained by the constant efforts of self realisation

Everybody is suffering. Lord Buddha has said that "to come to world is sin". Prayer, simplicity, purity and service should be the image of human beings, because the problem of life is partly the problem of attention. "Give attention to evil thoughts and desires", you suffer. "Give attention to what's pure and unselfish", you become vibratory.

Right attention is essential for achievements and the way of right attention is the way of self control or Tapasiya. Whatever be our condition of mind, body and soul, whatever the circumstances around us, whatever place we are stationed at the moment let us continue to trust in God.

There is a spirit, a personal God within each one of us which upholds us and looks after us day after day. He wants best for us. It is God whom we can turn to without fear and shame, without reservation and appointment, whenever in need of comfort, healing or help. Let us hold on to him and let us be sure that nothing in the world can separate us from him or his love for us.

I appeal to all that we should shun the ego, i.e. "P". This is suffering, irrigating the minds by clean water, good seeds "ideas", wish good for others which will produce positive waves in the body. As the whole world is boiling, why not to come sit together, pray his praise by reciting hymns of HIM, which will rescue us from suffering. We should go to zap, everyday.

By pure mind keep him in mind and without listening to the outer drum, hear inner drum "shumshu". Do not give any importance to negative signals which will cross you mounts of all stars in hand. Everything will come, impossible will become possible. By the trust we reside in him, and he resides in us

What I see simply we are fighting on issues with each other without proper subject, which gets us dissatisfaction and disrespect. In ourselves we should change attitude, as attitude is more important than facts. Everybody is suffering, why not to bow to Lord of Lords where he will give us a source of relief and get rid of our sufferings.

Do not keep any ill will, vibrating your mind by negative signals which may cross your mounts of stars in hand. Everything will come, impossible will become possible. If we fight with one another on issues, we will get nothing but dissatisfaction. Since it is my attempt of writing to voice my inner thoughts, masses should approve it and shun their ego,

"Among the people must I go" says Lord! Buddha. Means people suffer as per their thinking. "So I must speak to them of the way for peace and Joy" "Turning of Wheel, positive or negative wheel of Dharma, pointing out that Universe moves round the Wheel of Law".

Some follow Ascetic (Thajasviya yogi) way and some follow the way of Pleasure (Bhoga)

The right way is neither the way of asceticism nor the way of pleasure. The right way is the Heroic way, the way of self control, the way of purity and restraint (Pratishoudh bhoga).

Before me there are four noble Truths. These Truths may briefly be summed up like this:

"Suffering is a fact". To be born is to Suffer. To live is to Suffer From birth to death the period is Suffer.

O man, when it is there "why ego" among us. "Back of suffering is ignorance, ignorant carving and the illusion is "T" the False "Self". In this illusion of the "ego", does man wonder from Birth to Birth. In ignorance he moves on, unhappy. a victim of Thirst, Trishna.

These are three units of Thirst:

1. There is Thirst due to the lust of Flesh.

2. There is Thirst due to the lust of eyes.

3. There is Thirst due to the Pride of Life.

The cure of thirst is extinction of trishna letting it go, expel desire, renounce attachment. In a desire you separate yourself from others. In a desire you become a creative of the body. This 'separateness' will go if you learn the discipline of will power.

If your heart is awakened, compassion is for all creatures for men, birds and beasts. "Compassion' is Maitri. DAYA KRIPA Filled with Maitri, compassion be one with one's life.

The way to extinguish desire (Trishna) is in eight ways-path which has eight noble stepls aiming at awakening of Maitri and compassion in heart.

The four truths are: Birth is painful, sickness is painful, old age is painful, and sorrow, lamentation, dejections and desire are painful. Now this is the noble truth of cause of the pain. The cause is craving which leads to rebirth combined with pleasure and lust, finding pleasure here or there namely the craving for passion, the craving for existence, the craving for non-existence.

This is the noble truth of cessation of pain, the cessation without reminder of that craving abandonment, forsaking, release and non-attached forsaking

Now this is the noble truth of the way that leads to the cessation of pain. As per noble eights units or like this, I would mention here the noble eightfold way.

Right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right living, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.

The noble path has eight steps to knowledge. Illuminate your mind and brain with good ideas and with "Namrata". We should think one day that we will be no more in this world. Light shines in him who travels the path step by step. The way to first step is right understanding, right views, or comprehension. Right view is his who does not mistake the passing for the abiding.

Right understanding is his who does not fall into error and the greatest error is his who rejects ego for reality. The ego is an illusion in the journey of "Sansara", the world. For the world to liberation, illusion of ego must be shed.

You move in a transit world; nothing that you see is permanent, what separates is the body that goes; what separates is the illusion. For life in one form is transit life.

You will lessen suffering; not increase it. Resolve that you will attain knowledge of illumination which will lead you out of suffering through self discipline.

The Second Step in this path is the step of right resolve which is taken by one who has no desire to harm any living creature and who strives to free himself from the slavery of senses.

The Third step is right speech. This is the first step in the practice of self discipline. Right speech is essential to self discipline.

Right speech is his who does not speak untruth, who does away with indiscretion, slander, abuse and bitter words, who speaks gently to all, who is not cruel in words, who never speaks in anger or malice, his words are kind and pure and he speaks neither in self glorification nor in hate. Such a man speaks in sympathy knowing that suffering surrounds us all.

The Fourth Step is right conduct.

He acts rightly who puts away all thoughts of gain or rewards here and hereafter. He acts impersonally. It is not enough to have the right appearance. You act rightly when your inner motive is right. The motive is the deed.

Such a man eliminates all thoughts of retaliation. His conduct is guided by the inward law, the Dharma, The Moral Law. He realises the truth of injunctions.

Continuing to act according to Law, he finds one day that he has developed insight. When his deeds are in harmony with and not out of Moral Law, he develops insight into life or he realises that the purpose of life is not power but blessedness, joy, peace.

The Fifth Step is right means of livelihood. Maintain your integrity and purity. This is the Moral Foundation of Life.

All this means one who earns livelihood honestly, realises in his work that he must be honest. He should not take undue advantage of another. He should not take bribes. Right conduct must be induced or enriched by right living. Such a man is blessed indeed. He is not a doubter. He acts with a clear mind.
