Dog Poet Transmitting.......
I thought today I would share with you the words of those far wiser than I, and from whence I draw upon all that inspires me for my own less than stellar efforts at it. There are a few basic and ruthless enemies that assault us all and they come from invisible sources that motivate us in selfish enterprises. One of these enemies is Selfishness; an expression of The Personality in a separated mind. I'm not going to list the whole of the Negative Qualities that are common to the human state. Surely, you already know about them.
Most people, for reasons that escape me, are puzzled by the idea of Selfless Service. It doesn't make sense to a carnal mind. It doesn't make sense in a Material Culture. It makes you look like a fool and an idiot to the proud and arrogant, driven by appetite and selfish desire. I CAN explain this so that it puzzles you no more. Being able to forget yourself in service to others, brings a Joy and Serenity that nothing else can equal. Your separated self IS your burden and your cross. It is The Personality that is at the root of your suffering, and that suffering WILL NOT END until The Personality is sublimated and harnessed. You are either a servant of The Higher Mind or you are a slave of The Lower Nature.
No activities that I know about can equal the sense of freedom that comes with selfless service. ANYONE who has been so engaged KNOWS how wonderful it is to FORGET YOURSELF in what you do; to give yourself away. That is freedom and it is what God does and it is what ALL who serve God also do. This might not apply to you but it certainly applies to me; knowing it I have no choice.
I will now include the Chapter, “Selfless Service” from The Bhagavad Gita=
Arjuna;
“O Krishna, you have said that knowledge is greater
than action; why then do you ask me to wage this
terrible war? Your advice seems inconsistent. Give
me one path to follow to the supreme good.”
Krishna;
“At the beginning of time I declared two
paths for the pure heart: jnana yoga, the
contemplative path of spiritual wisdom, and
karma yoga, the active path of selfless service.
One who shirks action does not attain freedom; no
one can gain perfection by abstaining from work.
Indeed, there is no one who rests for even an instant;
all creatures are driven to action by their own nature.
Those who abstain from action while allowing
the mind to dwell on sensual pleasure cannot
be called sincere spiritual aspirants. But they
excel who control their senses through the
mind, using them for selfless service.
Fulfill all your duties; action is better than inaction.
Even to maintain your body, Arjuna, you are obliged
to act. Selfish action imprisons the world. Act
selflessly, without any thought of personal profit.
At the beginning, mankind and the obligation
of selfless service were created together.
“Through selfless service, you will always
be fruitful and find the fulfillment of your
desires”: this is the promise of the Creator.
Honor and cherish the devas as they honor and
cherish you; through this honor and love you will
attain the supreme good. All human desires are
fulfilled by the devas, who are pleased by selfless
service. But anyone who enjoys the things given by the
devas without offering selfless acts in return is a thief.
The spiritually minded, who eat in the spirit of
service, are freed from all their sins; but the selfish,
who prepare food for their own satisfaction, eat sin.
Living creatures are nourished by food, and food
is nourished by rain; rain itself is the water of life,
which comes from selfless worship and service.
Every selfless act, Arjuna, is born from Brahman,
the eternal, infinite Godhead. Brahman is present
in every act of service. All life turns on this law,
O Arjuna. Those who violate it, indulging the
senses for their own pleasure and ignoring the
to act. Selfish action imprisons the world. Act
who realize the Self are always satisfied. Having
found the source of joy and fulfillment, they no
longer seek happiness from the external world.
They have nothing to gain or lose by any action;
neither people nor things can affect their security.
Strive constantly to serve the welfare of the
world; by devotion to selfless work one attains
the supreme goal of life. Do your work with
the welfare of others always in mind. It was
by such work that Janaka attained perfection;
others too have followed this path.
What the outstanding person does, others will
try to do. The standards such people create will be
followed by the whole world. There is nothing in
the three worlds for me to gain, Arjuna, nor is there
anything I do not have; I continue to act, but I am not
driven by any need of my own. If I ever refrained
from continuous work, everyone would immediately
follow my example. If I stopped working I would
be the cause of cosmic chaos, and finally of the
destruction of this world and these people.
The ignorant work for their own profit, Arjuna;
the wise work for the welfare of the world,
without thought for themselves. By abstaining
from work you will confuse the ignorant,
who are engrossed in their actions. Perform
all work carefully, guided by compassion.
All actions are performed by the gunas of Prakriti.
Deluded by identification with the ego, a person
thinks, “I am the doer.” But the illumined man or
woman understands the domain of the gunas and is
not attached. Such people know that the gunas interact
with each other; they do not claim to be the doer.
Those who are deluded by the operation of
the gunas become attached to the results of
their action. Those who understand these truths
should not unsettle the ignorant. Performing
all actions for my sake, completely absorbed
in the Self, and without expectations, fight!
-but stay free from the fever of the ego.
Those who live in accordance with these divine
laws without complaining, firmly established in
faith, are released from karma. Those who violate
these laws, criticizing and complaining, are utterly
-deluded, and are the cause of their own suffering.
Even the wise act within the limitations of their
own nature. Every creature is subject to Prakriti;
what is the use of repression? The senses have
been conditioned by attraction to the pleasant
and aversion to the unpleasant. Do not be ruled
by them; they are obstacles in your path.
It is better to strive in one’s own dharma than to
succeed in the dharma of another. Nothing is ever
lost in following one’s own dharma, but competition
in another’s dharma breeds fear and insecurity.”
Arjuna;
“What is the force that binds us to selfish
deeds, O Krishna? What power moves us,
even against our will, as if forcing us?”
Krishna;
“It is selfish desire and anger, arising from
the guna of rajas; these are the appetites and
evils which threaten a person in this life.
Just as a fire is covered by smoke and a mirror is
obscured by dust, just as the embryo rests deep within
the womb, knowledge is hidden by selfish desire
–hidden, Arjuna, by this unquenchable fire for
self-satisfaction, the inveterate enemy of the wise.
Selfish desire is found in the senses, mind,
and intellect, misleading them and burying
the understanding in delusion. Fight
with all your strength, Arjuna! Controlling
your senses, conquer your enemy, the
destroyer of knowledge and realization.
The senses are higher than the body, the mind
higher than the senses; above the mind is the
intellect, and above the intellect is the Atman.
Thus, knowing that which is supreme, let the
Atman rule the ego. Use your mighty arms to
slay the fierce enemy that is selfish desire.”
I believe that should CLARIFY Karma also.
I did not realize that the chapter was as long as it is. I will save what I had from Master Aivanhov for another posting. What you have read just now is one of the major influencers of my thought and action. There are a few other sources that I subscribe to, though most of what I do is drawn from The Intuition. Very little that I contemplate is of recent vintage, simply because The Truth is TIMELESS, to begin with.
The New Age and the teachings of The New Age has come up from several quarters recently. My PROBLEM with The New Age Marketplace is that it is USUALLY just that; a marketplace, filled with paraphernalia on display. You cannot SELL The Truth. It MUST be given away, and that brings us back to Selfless Service.
Furthermore, I have yet to encounter anything from new-age lecterns that was not taken from ancient and arcane texts from long ago, and then refurbished and reconstituted and offered as something new. NONE OF IT IS. Not once, in decades, have I seen ANYTHING from New Age sources that I had not read before in the original that they kyped it from.
I have seen this from so-called masters too. I owned a spiritual and arcane bookstore for a few years when I was very young. What led me there was a passion to read the deep thinkers, spiritual teachers, and mystics of former, and even present times. Surely, I read over a thousand books during this time. It was there that I encountered Bhagavan Rajneesh. I read his early works (they were still early works then) and was surprised to see to what an extent he had taken from Lao Tzu and others, sometimes almost word for word. I told myself I didn't need to read any more from this man because I was already informed by the people he was taking his thoughts from.
I have worked with literature for my whole life. First reading widely and voluminously, and then writing my own thoughts. Along the way, I encountered a distinct subsection of work called The New Age. Somehow it always seemed about the money. Then I found out that A Curse of Miracles was constructed by intelligence services in the employ of The Prince of Darkness. I found massive evidence that the CIA and others were deep into this area of enterprise. That explains people like Marianne Williamson, Benjamin Creme, Elizabeth Claire Prophet (with her .50 cal machinegun turrets), and MANY ANOTHER. I learned about Hay House Publishing, and Louise B Hay.
The same way I learned about the Rap Music Agenda, I had learned about New Age principles. I will not criticize others who find help and succor there. It's different strokes for different folks, and just not my stroke. I've been around the New Age scene. I lived on Maui for 20 years. I know what's going on there. I saw the MMDA-Ecstasy orgies and met, or encountered some number of the New Age luminaries. I have a wealth of experiences from that area and I WANT NO PART OF IT. It is for each of us to make up our own minds about the course of our lives, though that is mostly done by KARMA.
I am also somewhat versed in the early days of the New Age Movement, such as The Theosophical Society, Lucis Trust, the Golden Dawn, and The O.T.O. I have been far and wide with all of it and round the bend as well. There are good and bad to be found. I found what I was looking for and no longer need to look. Readers can make up their own minds about that. I was present when events happened to me, and certainly a more credible witness than people who operate from projection and hearsay, concerning what they were NOT PRESENT FOR.
All I can say is that we shall soon see the metal and integrity (if there be any) of ALL movements and those associated. We shall soon see what are the lies and what is the truth. Many think that The Apocalypse and the Coming of the Avatar are matters of intellectual speculation and points of moronic contention, instead of REAL conditions and events. I don't know if it is next week, next month or next year. I do know that the whole world is going to turn upside down, or right-side up, depending on what your perspective is.
There is something here for everyone; the Doom and Gloom Merchants, the Merchants of Fear, the sales-goblins of the material camouflage that hides The Truth, to begin with. Conversely, those who seek Redemption and Love, will find it. Those seeking a portal to higher worlds will find it. You will eventually find everything you were looking for. It makes good sense to be looking for what is real, and not Temporary, because wherever your love is you will find what you treasure; to paraphrase scripture. Common Sense should prevail in these matters because they are so very Self Evident. It is an enduring mystery that more people do not see this.
