We're so Fortunate

I took a moment this morning to reflect upon how fortunate we are to understand our eternal nature as indestructible consciousness, a soul.

For people like ourselves, there is little fear. For we know that whatever happens, we will continue. If we die, we take birth again, and eventually we are liberated.

We know for certain that this world is temporary, it too shall pass. Therefore, we place little value on material things, and are happy.

The difference between a person with this understanding and one who believe this life and world to be the all in all and who therefore struggle to maintain permanent, satisfying position here, is not obvious at an external glance. We may look the same, and may even be engaged in similar activities, but the fruit of our understanding is how we choose to react to situations in life.

Namaste.

 

 You Are Immortal


BG 6.40: The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Son of Pṛthā, a transcendentalist engaged in auspicious activities does not meet with destruction either in this world or in the spiritual world; one who does good, My friend, is never overcome by evil.

BG 6.42: Or [if unsuccessful after long spiritual practice] they take their birth in a family of transcendentalists who are surely great in wisdom. Certainly, such a birth is rare in this world.

BG 6.43: On taking such a birth, they revive the divine consciousness of their previous life, and they again try to make further progress in order to achieve complete success, O son of Kuru.

BG 6.44: By virtue of the divine consciousness of their previous life, they automatically become attracted to spiritual principles — even without seeking them. Such an inquisitive transcendentalist stands always above the ritualistic principles of scriptures.

Acyutananda,

Loved your thoughts.  With love there is no fear in our world and when we connect to our true consciousness and one eternal spirit that is all there is, love.  Thank you  for these thoughts as  so many people in the 3D world who live in fear need a daily reminder of this.  It helps us to stay strong for those that can't until they can one day. 

Shine on bright light,

Nefe

Indeed we are so lucky! We are lucky because we know also that whatever we need it will be provided if we just ask for it. Everything is here, we can make what we want out of all of it, for those who are not afraid, who believe, the very world is in our hands! :)
