Vedas and Dharma – Part 2 of 2

Om Sri Gurubhyo Namaha !!!

That state which when attained creates a feeling in us that there is nothing greater that is what is attainable. To attain that state, one needs to have clean mind and concentration. 

Desire, anger and lust are the dirt that is attached to the mind. Once these are removed we can understand the Reality. The sign of having achieved that Reality is when one is unmoved and unfazed at times of difficulties and miseries. Another sign of highest achievement of yoga is when one is always in blissful state (ananda). Understanding the sat and then rooting one’s chit in that sat will always lead to ananda( bliss).

Disciplined and regulated way of life alone will remove the instabilities of the mind and lead to concentration. This state can be attained by constant practice. Yoga means Viyog from miseries. 

If a dog has to save us from thieves, first the dog has to be taken care of by us. “Dharmo rakshati, rakshitaha”. Protect dharma and Dharma will protect you. What we protect protects us. Shivaji Maharaj, the disciple of Samarth Ramadas was one who followed dharma so much that he respected the women of his enemies too and protected them by carefully sending them back to their homes. He thus earned their respect.

“vedoakhilo dharma moolam”, dharma alone is the root of Vedas. “Ramo vigrahavaan dharmaha” ,dharma has taken the form of Lord Rama. For the same reason, always taking the name of Lord Rama, we can cleanse our mind and remain blissful under all circumstances. Hanuman is a great example for devotion and he is always in sat-chit-ananda.

Om tat sat !!!

Om Santhi ! Santhi! Santhihi !!!
