I am chilling with looking at a mysterious moon..Such beautiful moon tonight.. its brightly lit up darkness of night sky.
Yesterday was a full moon day, so I did a fasting whole day for a spiritual practice. This time was surprisingly hard to came through my fasting even one day as I had an attack of anemia on the second day of the fasting. I felt so dizzy when I was on the train on my way to work in the morning, so I've had some fruit that I brought just in case,so the fasting did not go on a second day..
Aside from that, I'd like to talk about something about an action and a result of an action today.
Today we have not been considering the world that we are living. war, homicide,child labor ,persecution, so many crazy things going on..and I think we can not do anything to make a difference. This 'make a difference ' in here means a result of the action. But,Krisna in Bhagavad gita says that the discipline of action is the thing that means to have no expectation to relieve karma.
'Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities'
In Bhagavad Gita, Krishna tells that it is something that you need to give to reach the state where you don’t have desires. As I said, Krisna was the one that detaches himself from his desires. To act, and not to allow the reason to get attached to the acts, is the essence of Karma Yoga. We hear a lot about Yoga which is the power of action, one that unites you to the God, Yoga is that power which ultimately brings you nearer to the Lord. It minimizes the distance between man and God. You will feel that you are near Him. You will get an awareness that.
Let us think what actions can give us the bliss and keep us away from suffering and pain. The most important thing for us to understand is that our right is only to act not to result. We have no power on results of our actions. In no case the fruits of action should be our concern. It does not also conclude that we should be attached to inaction.
I would like to intoroduce some beautiful mantra called 'Gayatori Mantra'to everybody here,
ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः ।
तत् सवितुर्वरेण्यं ।
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि ।
धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् ॥
oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tat savitur vareṇyaṃ
bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt
a translation of this mantra is 'May we attain that excellent glory of Savitar the god:So may he stimulate our prayers."
I chant this Gayatri mantra in the morning and before go to sleep everyday.three times each.
In India ' three times' is very important. why we chant OM three times ?
The first one is Creation which associated with Creation Brahma (god of creation) second is a protection which associated with Vishnu( creation of god)third one is destruction which associated with Shiva( Shiva has destructive power)
This is the Hindu trinity.
When I was taking an ayuruveda massage corse in India,we were also learned to do 'magnet touch'( techqnic that to remove bad energy from your inner body)with three times.
Lastly ,what I thought upon watching moon tonight is moon can beautifully lit up in the night sky ,because there is a darkness besides moon.its same thing such as we are able to enjoy our meal ,watching movie,drinking with friends ,having fun is there is the darkness place where you usually don't see at..
There are more important things for us to know in the stillness of the night.
Hare krisna.
