The seed of life on earth is Sun, the food that sustains
life here is Sun, one who devours life on Earth is Sun as well. There is no way
that the universality/unity of Sun’s nature is no way distinct from the diversified
picture seen here on the Earth with huge variety of ecosystems in the water, on
the land and in the air. Forests, rivers, societies, countries, cultures,
wants, needs, fights, wars, construction and destruction everything appear to
happen only due to the light of Sun and only to the subtle life force that acts
in the Eye of the being witnessing all these things.
In this modern world, all the confusion seems to be caused
by two misconceptions.
1.
You only live once
2.
It’s my life
Life is eternal and it animates multiple bodies across
multiple worlds depending on each one’s desires and actions. Only due to
unconditional compassion of Lord a being appears at a suitable place for a
suitable period of time to enjoy/suffer the results of its own
thoughts/words/deeds. Lord gives innumerable chances to any being to realize
the ultimate and “human form” is the best suited to do so. To born as a man is
a great privilege earned through the compassion of God. So, the misconception of “You only live once”
causes unnecessary hurry to enjoy things and results in over consumption and
over production causing a lot of damage to the “nature” of God.
All life is connected wherever it is. The air that we breathe
is not bounded by any boundaries. The light we take for Sun is neither bounded,
the water which flows as rivers is all due to the Sun’s heat that evaporates the
water in the oceans and makes them as clouds. But everything is bound by the
law of karma – one should be responsible for all the thoughts, words and deeds
performed by him/her. All the results of such things resulting harm for another
being beyond the allowance granted by God will have to be paid for. The
legislation established by the Lord is unfailing and applies to each being
equally here. So, the misconception of “It’s my life” causes harm to other
beings and ultimately to the individual.
Life is eternal and connected. Living a simple, pious life
leads to ultimate good for the individual leading him directly towards the
highest knowledge of one-ness of everything.
“vAsudEvaH sarvam iti” is the right knowledge leading one to highest eternal bliss.
