As long as you have attachment to the body and attachment to objects fear and suffering will be with you. Therefore Krishna told Arjuna to develop his discrimination and rid himself of body consciousness. He told him that once he was free of body consciousness he would be able to develop integral vision. Embodiments of Love Mankind today has three types of vision. The first is body oriented vision which is totally superficial. When you have this kind of vision you see only the external appearance of others such as the clothes and the ornaments they wear their facial features their body characteristics their peculiarities of speech etc. This type of vision is oriented only towards the phenomenal world. The second kind of vision is insightful vision.
Instead of focusing on the external characteristics of others you focus on their inner feelings particularly as it is reflected in their behavior and expressions. You gauge the thoughts in another's mind and the feelings in their hearts by carefully watching what they say and do. When you have this kind of vision you become concerned primarily with the deeper feelings and motivations of the other person
Since I move about with you, eat like you and talk with you, you are deluded in the belief that this is but an instance of common humanity. Be warned against this mistake. I am also deluding you by My singing with you, talking with you, and engaging Myself in activities with you. But any movement My Divinity may be revealed to you, you have to be ready prepared for that moment.
Since I know the past the background My reaction is different. If only you knew you too will react differently. It is the consequences of the evil deliberately done in the previous births and so I have to allow the suffering to continue modified often by some little compensation. I do not cause either joy or grief, you are the designer of both the chains.
The churning separates the butter from the milk. In the same manner through cosmic processes and upheavals of heat and cold the Five Fundamental Elements (earth water fire air and space) were separated and Earth this Ball of Butter emerged as the product of the churning. If any person or thing has one of the three character-traits (balanced passionate dull) predominant in the makeup we denote him as having that trait.
Sorrows and disasters are like the clouds that flit across the sky, they cannot injure the blue depths of space. Your duty is just to strive on from this very moment. Do not vacillate or postpone. Who knows when death knocks ? May be he may knock this very night this very moment, therefore do not delay. Do you postpone for tomorrow the dinner of this day ! Feed the spirit as scrupulously as you now feed the body.
THE airplane has to land at a certain place in order to take in those who have reserved the right to fly by the tickets that they have purchased. So too the Lord has to come down so that those who have won the right to be liberated may be saved. Incidentally others too will know of the Lord of His Grace and ways of winning it and of the joy of liberation. There are some who deny even today the possibility of air-travel, they curse the contrivance. They cavil at it. Similarly there are many who cavil at the Avatar that has come to save them.
I am also the target of such comments people do not understand the way of God. How can they know why particular event takes place at a particular time in a particular manner? He alone can know. But people try to sit in judgment and talk ill when for example one dies of illness at this place how can anyone escape death?
The Lord too has to come in human form and moves about among men so that He could be listened to contacted loved revered and obeyed. He has to speak the language of men and behave like human beings as the member of the species Otherwise He would be either negated and neglected or feared and avoided.
I never asked you to earn me. I want only that you should need me. Your path is not one of merit. Bring the recurring desires of your mind to me every time they emerge. They cannot shock me for I willed them! Bring me your confusion your fear your craving your anxiety your inability to love the world your hesitation to serve your jealousy all the deficiencies that defy your spiritual disciplines.
