What Lord Of Universe Teaches Us...😇
Today is Shree Krishna Janmastami, celebrated with various customs at all the different parts of India.Krishna is believed to be the eight avatar, or incarnation, of Vishnu. He is said to be born on the eighth day of the Krishna Paksha in the month of bhadrapad according to the hindu calendar. As per panchang, devotees observe fast on this day and abstain from consuming grains until the next day sunrise. Krishna Janmastami is also known as Krishnashtami,Gokulashtami and Shree Jayanti.
I remember my childhood days when me and my cousins dressed as little Kanha , we used to play the whole day and at night we attend the aarti at temples with our families...there were delicious sweets and sacred offerings to the Lord,then people pray, dance and sing . Even nowadays people used to do all these things with equal enthusiasm, festivals are there to celebrate and spread peace and joy all over the world.
Lord Krishna teaches us so many things which as humans we need to learn and implement in our lives.Lord Krishna emphasised on being free from all kinds of negative and positive emotions like, joy, sorrow, grief, happiness, jealousy, as they are all illusions. These emotions are ephemeral. All the beings are bonded due to lack of knowledge but they get free and achieve liberation once they realize that the world is nothing but illusion. All the souls taking birth on the earth must surrender to Lord, be free form attachments to living and non living objects. One should not be conditioned by body or the worldly things around.
We all heard the story of Lord Krishna's life... it's full of learning for we humans.
A child, a brother, a charioteer, a warrior, a disciple, a guru, a cowherd, a messenger, the beloved of the Gopis…throughout his life, Krishna enacted so many roles—the whole time never forgetting that they were just that, roles and that his true nature was eternal, ever blissful consciousness. In this way, he was able to remain detached and thus perform flawlessly, never allowing the smile to fall from his face.
Throughout his life, Lord Krishna had to face different crises that arose like waves, one after the other. Even then, not once was his countenance clouded by sorrow. He faced every difficulty under the sun, but there was no place for sorrow in Sri Krishna’s presence. He was the embodiment of bliss. In his company everyone rejoiced, forgetting all else.
He taught what love is ? Love oroginates when violence and hatred destroys.
Love is the glue that brought us into existence and binds us to spirit. A partner in love is a sacred mirror reflecting back at us our light and our shadows. True love is created in us by God's love for us. Love creates bridges where it would seem they were impossible. Love was present since the origin of universe and with remain forever. World was created only by love, next progeny of every species develops or takes birth because of love. Love has tremendous power or we may say the most powerful thing in the world. There is no greater power than love, love has the ability to heal the world. Love is pure and decent, innocent and true. When the energy of love takes hold of you, resistance is futile. It has the capacity to heal old wounds and cleanse you of any negativity that does not serve you.While violence and hatred is weakest thing or we can say that people who indulge in violence and hatred are weak people. True love remains pure, fair, upright and without lust, greed and selfish motive. Power of love can be understood by the person who is full of love. It's easy to feel the love rather then describe in words.
We are often get saddened by the dark phases of life, at that time it seemed like l am alone...and no one is with me.But just remember whenever there are dark clouds there is always a silver lining. We need to see the light that God is showing us but what we do is we continue to curse the darkness and forget about the door that's been open for us. God holds all the colors of the rainbow of human life, extending to the boundless universe, represented by the peacock feather he wears.
Rumi, the great poet of Persia, explains the idea more clearly. He says the pains and sorrows the soul experiences through life are holes made in a reed flute, and it is by making these holes that the player makes out of a reed a flute. Which means, the heart of man is first a reed, and the suffering and pain it goes through make it a flute, which can then be used by God as the instrument to produce the music that he constantly wishes to produce. But every reed is not a flute, and so every heart is not His instrument. As the reeds need to be made into flutes, so the human heart can be turned into an instrument and can be offered to the God of love.
So let's see the light through the divine path by defeating all our fears and developing strong faith on self. And continue our journey by lighting a small candle of hope within all the hurdles(darkness) of life.
