So now we have One creator present as one essence everywhere, whose name is the truth, architect of the universe
To avoid repetition, I have added only the 'new' facets of Ambersariaji's post. OK, to me, and this an extremely personal view, but this ties in very nicely with something that has been on my mind for some time, and that is planting seeds. Did Creator wave a magic wand, say a few choice words and hey presto, trees, whales, dogs, cats, or did he do it in 6 days, and rest on the seventh, uhmm no, he planted seeds. He took his time, he allowed for centuries and centuries for these seeds to bloom, to grow, to bear fruit, evolution, refinement, souls being created, living, dying, and then being recreated over huge periods of time. What seeds can we plant, Gyaniji is quite correct in that the more we do for ourselves, the more seeds we plant, but given the multitude of seeds available, which ones should we plant, we should plant the TRUE ones, the ones that will bear the fruit of truth, the Gurus seeds, not the seeds of Man (gurmukh, manmukh), every action, every thought is a seed, a thought of lust, if watered and given attention will become an action of lust, will become a habit of lust, will become ingrained in character, will become a destiny, all from one lustful thought, all over a period of time, we could suddenly find ourselves ruled by lust, and wonder, how the hell did that happen
On the other hand, if we sow the Gurus seed, we firstly take away fear (another topic), we become brave, we become fearless, why? because nothing in the Gurus seed will come back to haunt us, will shame us, will have any power over us, it will actually strengthen us , knowing we are on the correct path, thank you |
