Samsara

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Samsara is the ocean of grief. We are affected by the disease of Samsara. Every single being in this world is in the grip of disease. The moment we feel afraid or worried, we are affected and we are experiencing samsara.  Hatred, anger, depression or grief are called soka. Śoka (शोक, “grief”) or Śokabhaya refers to the “fear of grief”. What we see here and do is wrong. The first step we must take is surrender. We must have the attitude that I’m ok because God is ok. When you step into water of Gods presence you are in Gods protected substance. This is how to think of yourself with God. This frees us from Śoka... known as grief. Individuality is nothing but fatality. The solution is meditation. Meditation from the disease of grief. Meditation added with compassion. Human lives should be filled with karma yoga; helpful action. Bhakti; devotion. Jana; wisdom. The only thing that elevates us is optimistic faith. Never loose that. Make a firm decision, whatever happens I will be happy...I will be strong; God is always with me.

The human mind and the world are in an agitated state. That is why it is important to imagine white petals of peace falling on the forests, mountains and on the ocean. As they fall upon us imagine the world in a state of peaceful silence. In order for the mind to grow we must have a pure innocence within and pray; let there be peace everywhere. Even though our bodies have countless cells, imagine cells becoming filled with a golden light. This kind of visualization enhances our spiritual and physical health.

Life is a mystery by our small intellect. What is your present situation? It is that the ego does not want to flow with life. It is obstinate. Karma is wiped when we are doing good actions. We can also find change through remedial action. However In some cases there is a lifelong karma  we have to endure. Divine grace alone can bring peace to us. In today’s world our minds are full of turbulence. We should visualize pure white flowers of peace falling on the oceans, the mountains, the forests, birds and other animals and on us as well. Experience and unfathomable peace.

The human mind is in an agitated state…. Silence the mind and restless activities in meditation.
