Carry heaven with you wherever you go
The beautiful thing that happens when the lust energy is transformed is, the trace of violence in each of your subtle actions will disappear. Then, even the way you put your signature will look different. If you pluck a flower, the way you do it will be different. It will be so soft and gentle!
There are a set of Tamil saints called the Nayanmars. There is a song which says about them, that when they pluck a flower, the tree will not feel the pain!
Sex is carbon, love is diamond. Sex is mud, love is the lotus that blooms in the mud. It is the same substance. But the thing is, you should know how to process it. Just drop your expectations, and you will find a tremendous upsurge of energy.
Today I want you all to try this technique when you go home:
For five minutes, close your eyes and mentally forgive your husband or wife or anyone for anything disturbing that they might have done. Really forgive them. Go to the root of all your misgivings and drop the feeling of resentment. Do it totally. Just welcome them as they are. Give them your deep love.
After just five minutes, you will see that the bottom of stomach is totally relaxed.
If just five minutes can give you this result, just imagine what will happen if you change your entire attitude! What a tremendous energy flow you will experience!
The way you are living now, it is as if you have got
| rupees, but | |
| you have locked | |
| Sex is carbon,<br>love is diamond. | away<br>ninety |
| thousand in some | |
| place where you | |
| can't recover it. You | |
| try to manage your |
whole life with the remaining ten thousand. Then naturally you will feel that you are poor!
In the same way, all your energy has been locked away in lust, anger and violence. So you don't have enough energy even for your day-to-day living! Once the energy transforms, your life will become rich. You will be able to think better, understand better, plan better. You will feel this energy consciously working in you. It will open a new dimension that you would not have experienced before. You will actually realize that your husband, your wife, and everyone in this world are spiritual beings!
You need to understand that heaven and hell are not geographical places. You can't locate them on a map. They exist only psychologically. It's up to you to transform your life into heaven or hell.
When you are full of expectations, you carry your own hell in you. So wherever you go, you will find that your personal package of hell travels with you! Like how a circus troupe carries and spreads its tents everywhere it goes,
When you are full of expectations, you carry your own hell in you. so also you carry this hell with you to any place you go to. And when two such people meet, there is a great clash of hells, not bells!
Why do you want to carry this load around with you? Just drop it!
Just think of all the energy you waste in trying to chisel the other person to suit your expectations. Isn't it much easier to just drop the chisel? If even 10% of that energy is channeled into meditation, your life can be transformed into true living.
Living is 'life led with awareness, with freedom'. We have a choice! We have a chance to become conscious. It is up to us to decide.
