BR Rishikeshchaitanyaji's lecture

Dear all,
For all those who missed Br Rishikesh Chaitanyaji’s talk at Nachi’s place on Thursday here is the gist.
Whatever is there in the beginning and end must naturally be there in the middle too.For eg.the mud which makes up an earthen pot is there before the pot was made and also after it has been broken to pieces. Similarly we arrive crying into this world and leave the world crying and grasping and naturally live in this world in distress . So this world is duhkhamaya.
What is the cause of this duhkha? The cause is seeing bheda, i.e. seeing that Iswara,prapancha and jiva as different and not seeing that everything is the Lord Himself.You attain happiness when u realize that there was never anything other than Him.
Man differs from the Lord in that man suffers from Klesha whereas the Lord does not.The klesha is due to avidya or ignorance about the reality behind oneself,asmita or the sense of Iness,raga or attachment, dvesha or aversion and abhinivesha or the fear of death. The root cause of turbulence in the mind is avidya which leads to all the rest.
The cause of fear is also bheda.We fear that we may lose money,power, status and fame due to the others never realizing that there is no other.There is only one Satchitananda.i.e, eternal, knowledge and bliss.
Satchitananda is our svarupa, which is why we want to live long, are curious and always run after happiness.We should live our life according to the four purusharthas. They are Dharma, Artha. Kama and Moksha.Even if u live ur life by the first three it is of no use. That is not the purpose of human life.The purpose of human life is Moksha alone.Anyone who lives otherwise is living the life of an animal.
The type of Dharma we have to follow is Svadharma.i.e a God conscious life, anything else is paradharma or the life of an animal. How do we reach such a state?This state can be achieved by Jnana or Karma. The former path is tough, so we must follow the path of Karma.. Karma is by Upasana(bhakti) or by surrendering the fruits of action to the Lord.The most astonishing thing is we are God only we haven’t realized it.We are like the lion who was reared by a sheep and lived the life of a sheep till another lion revealed to it its true nature.It doesn’t change the fact that it was a lion from the beginning.Similarly we are all divine only we haven’t realized it.
HURRY HOME!
