As one acquires fame, status and a bank balance, then
automatically more needs are created and one requires more. This goes on. It is
an unending process. This is not that we should give up everything and become
monks- no! What is being said by Masters/Saints that as we watch, as we become
aware of this unending process of acquiring, we realize that there is a state
of mind which is independent of all this.. That comes about only when one
practically realizes what has been written as- Ishavasyam idam sarvam which means
‘ It pervades everything, here and now.’
Therefore, Saints declare that the reservoir of all
enjoyment, which manifest itself in small portions, is all within- one may call
it Heart, one may call it the inner-consciousness; you can call it even your
SOUL. It is within! Suppose, if one puts food into one’s mouth and enjoys it.
Now, who is it who enjoys it? Where is the enjoyment taking place? Is it taking
place in the mouth or, is it taking place inside the person? If one can
understand that, then one can enjoy everything at once. It comes about not
through craving for enjoyment, but by understanding that the craving has to
cease, or by understanding that the craving has no end… So, have a great day
and enjoy with what you have today!!
