Vision

Astro Guide Mysore

The spirit of living in the present is well understood only when an individual has a clear vision.  The vision of the farthest aim his conscious self can perceive.  All this is possible if he trains his faculties to work in cohesion.  The alignment of the subtle mind, the intellect and the conscious self makes one foresee the purpose of this birth.
This being the hardest of all phenomena, tests the strength of the native.  The experience of failures in the process of synchronization of faculties may hinder the progress but the journey towards solidifying one’s self gives tremendous satisfaction.  It will open our vision and broaden our purpose.
 Being born as simple human beings we get to know the world in one particular way.  This restricts our understanding towards creation. The thought that the whole setup is geocentric was rubbished a couple of centuries ago, but, the idea that has crawled into us which makes us think that we rule the world and control everything that encompasses us -- is dangerous.
The fact that we have such limited vision is very evident in our actions.  We study every situation by isolating it from others.  This method of understanding a situation by isolating it actually worsens the situation.
We should think responsibly by giving equal importance to all thoughts, the ones that are represented and the ones that are not represented but seem so relevant that they cannot be left out.
The biggest lacuna in our race is the unwanted prejudice which each one of us carry as though it is innate.  Prejudice grows into the system like unwanted weeds on a field of good crop.  It overshadows the purpose and sees that every individual succumbs to its will.
We should train ourselves in such a way that we do not succumb to our ego and suffer from prejudice, but, learn the art of sacrifice, togetherness and belongingness.
It’s only when we lose our self that we can be selfless.  All selfless actions are accounted into Gods Ledger.  That’s where the final accounts are kept and will be shown to every one of us when we report back after this birth is over. 
Opening one’s self and tearing apart from the clutches of ego gives one a vision that reaches far beyond one’s imagination.  It makes this birth and this life which we give such great importance, much smaller and trivial. We grow beyond to see our purpose of this birth with more clarity and make our life more meaningful.
Once the purpose of this birth has become evident, there is nothing that we have to fear or there is no agony.  Everything is just as planned and is going as perceived by the Will of God. It’s only our efforts that are required to lose our identity (ego) and merge into this beautiful creation of God.
