Painless Now - the Present Moment

When we seek
To be
Free of
Pain and suffering,
We aren't recluse
Forgetting our
Near and dear,
And our beloved
Souls that departed
Departed heavenward,

When we seek
To be
Free of 
Pain and suffering,
We feel, experience 
Souls aren't different 
And far away
From us,
But we are 
Soulfully one.

Remember your
Beloved one wouldn't 
Like to see you
Writhing in pain.

Honour the feel
Of beloved souls
Souls near or far.

What surrender, surrendering to means?


There's a 
Sukshuma here.
Sukshuma in
Bhagavan's saying,
"Surrender and leave 
Everything to me".

It doesn't mean 
You should refrain 
From doing your
'swadarma',
Wont duty.

What all Bhagavan meant
Is
Let everything of yours,
Your feelings, emotions,
The activities
Be of soulful - atmapurva
Offering at 
The feet of the Lord.

What entails is
No duality.
You experience 
God Himself,
That 
God and you
Aren't twin entities.

तत् त्वम् असि -Tatvamasi


The Main Dwara at Darma Sastha Temple, Erumeli carries the above Maha Vagya, "TatvaMasi", Thou Art That.
It's natural, a question would hesitantly raise its head.

If Thou Art That, why is human not his self?
Why all suffering?

To draw the answer, a visit to popular English version of Brahadaranyak Upanishad would help.

Here's that version:

"You are what your deep driving desire is;
As is your desire, so is your will;
As is your will, so is Deed,
And 
As is your Deed, so is your Destiny".

Oh!
If Thou Art That, where is Destiny?

Brahadaranyak Upanisd version seems going beyond and pointing to Karmic effect - Effect of what we, as human do, human activity.

If one does good, to reap the benefits, one has to take birth again.

On the other side, again to face the consequences of wrong doings, yet another.

Well,
When will we end this cycle - punarabi janana, punarabi marana?

The answer is TatvaMasi - Meditate,
Be your Self - Blissful one.
