Fit in the Divine Plan

Every one of you must fit in with the Divine Plan. 

Strive to know its main principles and be equipped for the tasks He allots to you. Give your heart completely to the duty assigned to you in life. Be ever vigilant of your own nature and duty (swadharma) and engage in the tasks that your role demands. To attain the Divine, you have to climb from the animal state to the human state and from human level to Divinity. This climb is hard given the several forces that are always around you, ready to pull you downward. The engine in the car if clogged and worn out, will whine and groan when it has to ascend a steep hill. On the other hand if it is well-maintained, free from the dust and dirt of sensory yearning, then it will ascend heights very easily. Baba (thought for the day)

 

How do we know the task that is allotted to us?

I have no idea, of course it is to my daughter, that is clear, but why her father doesn't get it? Why he doesn't ask that type of question? 

We were focus on knowing the main principles and I thought we did that together, until we left and at once we faced something else, as it seems he just said yes to it and took advantage of it as long as it lasted. 

At my birthday he sent greetings and said, just be happy. 

First I thought great, Baba's words, but in the mean time it has changed and remembering what it means really to him, he is telling me just think about your own self, as Baba tells, self gets and forgets and he had another dream where he said, give, give, give, I will not give, you lived a dream and that is your problem not mine. You need a psyche I will give. 

I don't think he ever reflected on the dream or tried to understand it, so what it means when he is telling me, 'just be happy', he is telling me that he is just thinking about himself and as he thinks he is happier that way, even if it is not true, he goes the path of least effort. 

Sathva begins bitter ends sweet and Rajas begins sweet ends bitter and Tamas is upside down. 

It makes out of a vice a virtue and vice versa. 

It means he goes for all that what seems sweet in the beginning and it will turn out bitter. And how often for my feeling we spoke about it that duty is that which is usually first bitter and ends sweet. 

 

He doesn't know what he is doing in going the path of least effort, therefore, when he tells me, just be happy, it feels like a joke or an insult, but now I got more distance to it and I see why that is so.

 

Give your heart completely to the duty assigned to you in life. Be ever vigilant of your own nature and duty (swadharma) and engage in the tasks that your role demands. To attain the Divine, you have to climb from the animal state to the human state and from human level to Divinity. This climb is hard given the several forces that are always around you, ready to pull you downward. 

But there are different duties in our life and we have to do them all in a right manner, if it would be easy to understand everybody would just do it right. And even if we were talking about it all the time, he just didn't hear it, probably because he just took advantage of it. It feels like if we stand up with the wrong foot, it is just wrong. 

But what was kind of shocking is that fact that he never knew what I was talking about, there never any understanding and on his side it was just taking advantage of it. 

I have it behind me that I cannot take it to be that stupid because there is another result and that is sweet again. 

We have to just see it like that, because for me it was not sweet and after it got bitter, but I thought it was bitter, because I saw it as my duty, even though it was also sweet and turned afterwards in the opposite, but that bitter part didn't make sense and that for a long time until we are able to find that sweetness in it. 

It took such a long time to find a sweet taste of it again that I already thought it was lost, Tamas was just stronger as it seemed. 

And he even tells us why, because of the forces around us always ready to pull us downwards. 

That means he was part of it and everything else around is pulling downwards, so what is the use of it? 

We should not get tired, but how can we not get tired?

On the other hand if it is well-maintained, free from the dust and dirt of sensory yearning, then it will ascend heights very easily.

All that seems easy as long as we are young, but how is it when we get older? 

It is also the old age which will drag us down and maybe the body will get sick and tired and it still has to go on inside, divinity doesn't retire and it doesn't die, life goes on and if we are identified with the body, we will die. Even if we take care that it is well-maintained, free from dust and dirt of sensory yearning, the body and its decay works against us. 

During the time when Baba left the body, in the inner view we went down a deep well and there was only little water left and it went up again and on the way up he just dropped the body like that, it fell into dust and when we reached the top, there was Krishna and his brother, always young, divine and happy. 

It was a great Baba dream and that is how he said in the inner view that he would be leaving the body. It was some day ahead of it and everything was that sad, the mind didn't want to accept it and went on hoping until the last moment that he would come back again and go on as before giving Darshan to people. 

 

Every one of you must fit in with the Divine Plan. 

That was his divine plan and as it seems my role in that plan, even thought I realized it only afterwards in thinking it over and in getting absorb in that divine Lila.
