I am not a professional! Still the response of the noble souls about my views and songs is causing dampening of my eyes. An encouraging sign for my continuation of sharing of more and more spiritual knowledge. This has become possible only by the awareness in you of the presence of One Almighty in all beings of this creation.
When one is aware that the whole creation itself is manifestation of the Almighty, he obliterates the disparities of 'status' of birth, and Form taken by him, because he knows every being is resided by Almighty only. Thus every being revels in its birth as of being in paradise. Annamacharya gives us this knowledge through the keertana 'Edayanemi Hari Icchina Janmame Chalu'.
'Whatever be the birth, why one should worry about it, once having the knowledge that it is given by the Almighty only. Not only that. He actually residing in all of them in equal proportion - (Samam Sarveshu Bhuteshu Tishtthantam Visweswaram... from Gita, discussed in previous blogs). A dog revels in it's birth and never thinks it is mean. An insect in its mud pool habitat feels being in the paradise. It is all in the 'mind set'. This applies to the 'realised souls' on this earth who are ever blissful about their birth, with the awareness of all pervading Almighty in every being.....
'When every being is the Almighty Himself, why bother about what Form (birth) one takes on this earth. For a dog it's life is majestic one. It never feels that it's birth is 'mean'. Once the mind is accustomed to its own life, what difference does it make about good birth and otherwise. The all pervading Almighty is present as Supreme Consciousness in the being. That is why every being has passion for life.
'For an insect, the place it resides in, the muddy pool, is like paradise. It is the best place enjoyable in this world for it. It is enough if the place is stable and comfortable (in the mind of the being); why bother about higher plane or lower plane of existence, since all these planes are pervaded by the One Almighty only. So in what ever place one nay be it is enough if he is conscious about and be with the Almighty within.
'For a true Jnani (the realised soul), every place is Paradise. Taking his life in to his stride as Almighty's, he is liberated! Every astute devotee and seeker with total surrender to the Almighty has no more sense of disparities of low or high birth in this world.'......
In Mahabharata we have a character by name Vyadha, a realised soul in the profession of a butcher ! 'Vyadha gita' is the knowledge imparted by him to an astute brahmin, Kaushika..
How much 'heavenly' a pig's life is - for a pig, is in an anecdote retold here.....'King of the Gods, Indra, once became a pig. He had a cosy family with wife and children. He was so amorous about his beautiful wife ( dark lady pig) that he could not live even for a minute without her, wallowing in the dark muddy pool, paradise for him. The gods in the heaven searching for Indra, came down to earth and saw the plight of Indra. When exhorted by them to leave the body of pig and assume the post of King of the Gods in heaven once again, Indra refused to oblige and said on the contrary, " Never mind! I am very much happy here with this beauty and children. I don't believe in better paradise (Heaven, his real abode) than this kingdom of mine - dark muddy swamp with fellow pigs)" When their beseechings to their Lord were falling on deaf ears, they had no other go but to cut through the pig body, thus liberating Indra. Upon realisation of what had happened to him, Indra felt shy about Illusion undergone in Pig's life.'
Thus what matters is the all pervading Almighty inside not the external bodies of the beings, taking different 'forms' in the nature (Prakruti - Illusion). This awareness and association with the Almighty in a seeker brings about blissful existence in this world!
Om Shanti!
