The Boon of Immortality

You can understand Radha only if you can fathom the depth of her thirst for Krishna.

Radha believed that Krishna is the Aadhar (basis). She performed Araadh (worship) in a continuous Dhara (stream).

In fact she is Prakrithi (nature), another form of the Lord Himself. How can those, who are full of evil tendencies and impulses grasp that relationship? The recitation of the Name of the Lord is the best method for cleansing the mind of all these evil impulses.

If you have pure and steady faith in the Lord, He will provide for you, not just food, but the nectar of immortality itself. You have the potential in you to make Him grant you that boon.

Baba (thought for the day)

 

These words of Baba get to the core of it. If we cannot fathom the depth of the thirst for Krishna, but we all have that thirst in us, because it is part of our nature.

As long as we worship in a continuous manner, a flow, it can be any Sadhana, it has to be continuous. For me it was meditation and it has to be Dhara (stream) continuous flow, that results in Dhyana, meditation, going always in that highest direction of Krishna, (Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi, focus, flow and merging).
 

In the vision of the higher self was that principle seen as light and it would correspond to Krishna and in that sense the body is Prakriti and the principle of Radha. Between the body and the light was a gap and in that was a blue ribbon and in it was written self.
There is separation between the body and the higher self.
In that vision was everything. And in the gap between the higher self and the body can also be everything, but only that inner view level of the observer is true.

That is why by reciting the name of the Lord or the mantra and cleansing the mind, we get aware of the inner mirror and we get able to see things in the light of the self, because it is the mirror in our heart. 

But we should not think that we can understand it with the mind, to understand that reflection we have to look at all possibilities and finally, if we see that reflection in the mirror, in time we get the feeling for it and we know it in the light of the self and what it true from what is wrong, but it is a level of intuition, it is not in the mind.  

 

How can those, who are full of evil tendencies and impulses grasp that relationship? The recitation of the Name of the Lord is the best method for cleansing the mind of all these evil impulses.

 

It is impossible to get aware of that relationship between Radha and Krishna if there are evil tendencies in the mind, because Krishna is the observer and Radha is the observed.

If we are able to see it in the light of the self, it is possible to put Radha in our own life and to see it out of our own experience, by that the relationship gets alive.

When Baba left the body we went down a well and there was only some water left and we went up again and he dropped the body and on the top was Krishna and his brother and I wondered, why his brother? Brother means devotion, it is the reality of devotees.

But Radha is Krishna's greatest devotee. Seen in the light of difference between nature and spirit, between Prakriti and Purusha or between the instrument and the energy behind, it is the relationship between the I, because 'I think I am the body' and He, and he is that energy, I am he.

You are not one person, but three; The one you think you are; the one others think you are; the one you really are.

I also believe that Krishna is the basis and the higher self and that self-realization is getting aware of the relationship between that basis and its manifestation.

Meditation is always cleansing the mind and as Baba said, all mantras are okay, because it is purifying the mind of evil impulses.

 

If you have pure and steady faith in the Lord, He will provide for you, not just food, but the nectar of immortality itself. You have the potential in you to make Him grant you that boon.

 

The highest boon is immortality itself and this immortality was in that inner vision when we went down that deep well and up again and he dropped the body on the way and on the top was Krishna and his brother, it is the eternal relationship, it is the eternal devotee.  

In that vision is immortality. And we can get to the right conclusion that we have been with him before in a past incarnation and we will be with him again and we get aware of the ocean of light.

It was an incredible insight in him being Krishna and being related to him as his brother.

Devotion means brother and devotees are on that level, and not only one, all devotees. It is an eternal relationship and in that divine relationship we can get free from birth and death. It was an amazing insight and gift to get aware of it.

Seen in that light everything is a gift, because finally, in the end, only that matters if we will win or lose.

It depends if we reach that immortality or not, if we become immortal beings or if we stay human in a human body and will be reborn again. 

If the focus is on material objects, we cannot go beyond the mind and the body, that is impossible, because the focus keeps us on the material level, even if it is dedicated to a higher purpose.

We have to be focused on divinity, on Krishna and live the relationship between Radha and Krishna, between the body and the higher energy, between the 'I and He', to get that highest boon of immortality.

The right conclusion is, we have to do sadhana, we have to go on with meditation, because it has to become that flow and additionally do our duty to keep the focus on him only and not on material objects, because it is always possible by doing our duty to be focused on the action and the result again, even if we think that he gave us that duty and we think it is right, it can always be wrong again, that is the power of delusion, Maya.
And we have to believe in him and keep up with hope, if we go on with hope he will be there, if not he will not be there.
