How To Bring Eternal Bliss Into Your Life? Part 6, Free Your Mind From Impressions

Continued from How To Bring Eternal Bliss Into Your Life? Part 5, Recognize Your Attachments

Your mind only thinks about those things which hold excess importance or interaction in your life.

For example, if you keep on hearing some song continuously for hours, you will find yourself connected with that song even if that song is put off. May be singing or enjoying inside your mind. Whatever way but you find yourself indulged into it. This is what I call attachment.

You cannot see the world as it is through your colored glasses. For rising above sorrow and happiness, for achieving the state of eternal bliss, you need to make your mind free from attachments, free from impressions.

For this you need to work without selfish motive, for the sake of work, as a duty. This does not bring attachment.

Much more can be said but I close this series here with the assurance that I will be back with more interesting and important topics.

Thank you very much.

    All i can say well said.
    But making mind free from attachment is not simple thing, and why make our mind free from attachment?one must have feelings for other,one must be attached to his/her loved ones,atleast to your parents.
    Baad mei dukh na ho iske liye completely de attached ho jana,its not gud in my view.

      For achieving anything in life you have to renounce everything else. For example, when you prepare for an exam, you do not let yourself be indulged into useless merrymaking. Similar is the case in spiritual realm. And even tougher.

      Renunciation is not brought in life for escaping sorrow accomplished with it but in fact to make the mind pure and vacant for extraordinary spiritual experiences and for right perception of the nature.

      Yes, this is very tough but this can be achieved by practice. As the tongue forgets the sweetness of an apple on tasting the sweetness of sugarcane. Similarly, the mind forgets the transitory joy of the material world on experiencing the extraordinary bliss of higher order.

      Also, I do not tell to forget your duties. In fact, when you excel spiritually you find yourself one with others and also your become more sensitive and will be able to help your friends, family, society, country and humanity more efficiently and selflessly.

Religions Are Innocent

Today there is a very popular saying, “Religions divide and spirituality unites”. I have heard this sentence from some learned men as well. Recently, I came across a statement in facebook in which the person had written that the religions keep on creating chaos and if they are not stopped it may lead to something that you can’t think of even. A movie recently released also aims at religions stating that a religion either makes a man weak or a terrorist. In today’s world we are surrounded by numerous luxuries. Today works can be done in amazingly small amount of time with even less implementation of effort. This is making us (with these things) more powerful and efficient and us (without these things) even more weak and lazy. Today we do not have time to think about anything beyond our office and home. In such conditions, if a statement comes to us from whatever source it may come, that is easily accepted by us. It spreads as a jungle fire in the society. And if a statement has come fro...

What Exists And What Not?

Existence has been a very widely discussed topic from times immemorial. It is because, our understanding of what exists and what not helps us to understand that what our actions and efforts should be directed towards. If we long for something that never actually existed, we are sure to land among despair. Only one whose efforts are oriented towards the true existence is worthy of achieving peace and happiness. A child starts crying loud if it’s lovely necklace, which it has got from somewhere and now uses it for its childish game, gets separated into beads. It assumes the necklace as an independent existence. It doesn't know that those small beads are the one that combine to make up its lovely toy. Then its parent again fixes it and the child get surprised and happy again to get back its cradle. The parent doesn't get worried about breaking of the thread, because he sees those beads as the core of the existence of the necklace. The notion is that the parent sees beads as the co...
