What is the great opportunity we have today and what should we do to leverage it?
Bhagwan lovingly pulls us upward and onward today.
In the Treta age, Vanaras (monkeys) were made to act and talk like naras (humans).
In the Dwapara age, nara (human) was transformed into Narayana (God) by the grace of Narayana.
In the Kali age (the era we are in now), the declaration is made that the nara is Narayana Himself! The space in the pot and the space in the monastery are identical with the vast space in the sky; only the disguises of the pot and monastery keep up the illusion of separateness.
The senses are the villains; they instill the delusion that you are the body. Curb them as the bull is curbed by the nose ring, the horse by the bit in the mouth, and the elephant by the goad.
First Self, then help. Improve yourself, teach yourself, reconstruct yourself.
Then proceed to solve the problems of others.
This reconstruction is quite easy, provided you inquire calmly into your own personality - “Am I the body or the senses or the mind or the intellect,” and so on.
The spiritual path is the path of detachment, of sense control, and of rigorous mind training.
Know this, Understand this Truth and get enlightened.
Be blissful.
