Good morning friends. Let me continue the second part of my article. Hope you are still following me.
You are the Supreme Bliss, Brahmn in person. It is yourself that dwells in all. The happiness that appears in the world is in fact just a glimpse of self-bliss. It is your inner bliss but because of your ignorance, you think it is obtained from external objects of sense pleasures. Just as the sun’s reflection in water is not the real sun but is merely an illusory appearance thereof, so also is the pleasure experienced through sense-enjoyments – it is not real bliss. It is illusion, not real. Supreme Brahmn alone is existence, consciousness and bliss absolute. It is the One absolute reality which appears as existence, consciousness and bliss in different beings. But one who has a pure heart beholds the Lord as the One, non-dual Reality. There is one person prayed to Swami Ramatirtha He asked Swami to bless him that he wanted to become the king of the world. The person said that he will be please and happy if that will happen.
Even you become a king, you will still come across many miseries in your life since the things through which you seek pleasure are themselves transient. They never remain with anybody forever, then how will they stay with you? Better than that, if you give up the desire for seeking pleasure from transient things you will reach supreme bliss right now. That would be greater than the happiness you can gain from your dream kingdom.”
The mind becomes peaceful when it overcomes desires; then you can experience imperishable bliss. True peace lies only in the leaving of desires. A contented person alone can remain happy. A contented person is the wealthiest of all. He alone attains peace. Appreciate the present. Overcome greed and be contented with what you have. Give thanks to God. Then you could help others achieve bliss. – The Times of India
