Thoughts become your biology and life
Te hlada Paritapa Phalah Punya Apunya Hetutvat
The thoughts that spring from the un-conscious and sub-conscious mind leads to actions performed by us. According to the quality of thoughts, the actions can be good or bad and this in turn brings us either joy or sorrow. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Hi Swahilya,
How are you?
True, our thoughts attract all that we experience. But then, inspite of good intended thoughts, we sometimes are returned with sorrow - Why? Or is it because our thoughts were, at the very base, selfish one's - a klesha? Sometimes, I go crazy trying to analyse thoughts and actions and judge if I've placed them on the right side of the line! I know my true self is bliss. I know that I will be 'Home' ultimately and be rid of all sorrows. Why do I feel some sort of a distant yearning to be 'there' soon? No, I'm not a coward running away from working out my karmas. I'm not running away from sorrows, either. But something deep within, something attracting me to the other side! I have a nice family, nice income, and most everything an average person can wish for on this material world. Then, why do I feel sort of 'incomplete' here? On this plane, sorrow, (with joy too) is inevitable! If not to experience that, why else are we here? Just thinking aloud, inspite of knowing all the answers!! Or do I really know?!
Hi Well Wisher,Am fine, thank you.
But then, inspite of good intended thoughts, we sometimes are returned with sorrow - Why? : Because we have a mind that is a repository of actions of the past that is working out every moment. So in the present moment even if our thoughts were good, we don't know how it was in the past - many lifetimes earlier, which is expressing itself as the sorrow you experience.
Why do I feel some sort of a distant yearning to be 'there' soon? That's just because, you imagine that "there" is something different from "here" and you are caught in that mind to experience "that there." So there is incompleteness "here."
Life here is not to just experience sorrow and joy, but to realise that there is a plane of being "right here" that is beyond sorrow and joy or happy new years or sad new years!
Such a simple truth, yet so tough to imbibe and practice! Why are we human beings so fallible?
Rakesh! The mind revels in complexity that it fails to recognise something simple. It is always searching for the big, grand, grandiose, utterly complex things that don't exist and refuses to think that truth is simple and right before the eyes or within oneself in the empty space all around.
yearning to be there 'soon'......
yes, it is our antahkarana that is yearning to be there soon, becoz it knows heart in heart that this is a big drama and we are all playing roles, put on costumes and masks. we want to remove the costumes, make up, masks, forget the roles and just be our true selves. hence the yearning.
