Between the earliest primitive human and the fashionable civilised man persists one unchanging connecting thread, which makes them alike beggars and seekers in a single sphere. We may very well be wealthy with household, wealth, and buddies. But, with quite a lot of comforts round, the center and thoughts stay weak, impoverished, and fearful. That’s the reason the Upanishadic thinkers sang: ‘Atmana vindate veeryam vidyaya vindate amritam’ – By his SELF he attains power and by data, immortality; Kena Upanishad verse 12.Yugas have handed since. None may alter a syllable of this most historical dictum. It mentioned, and says for all occasions, that veeryam, that’s, braveness, confidence, might be gained solely from Atmam, the Soul. The earth could be very huge earlier than us. Vaster is the water, and nonetheless extra so is the encircling air. To see the rest of the world, now we have to look as much as countless heights. When the identical eyes are then turned to your physique for a survey, you realise how small, insignificant, trifling it’s in dimension, weight, and capacities. The place reigns the vary of the world, and the place breathes our little physique on earth? How can a mere possession just like the physique instil braveness?We would like braveness, heroism, valour to such a dimension that the massive, countless world, its terrors, and challenges won’t unsettle our minds. There might be cyclones, droughts, floods, fireplace and plenty of different threats. The world has by no means been free of those. Modes of journey have superior. This has made accidents extra possible and widespread. We hear of them, typically see them often. Each such occasion tends to dim our spirits.From the place will the braveness which we have to meet the challenges of life daybreak or move? The query is just not new. It’s the oldest. Our thinkers knew that it will ever stay recent and alive. They answered it within the choicest phrases which, by their intrinsic price, stay valuable and unalterable.How effectively have the Upanishads affirmed: ‘Tam eva bhantam anubhati sarvam tasya bhasa sarvam idam vibhati’ – this perishable physique is ready to exist and performance due to the imperishable Soul. Within the Soul’s brilliance alone is seen and felt the whole lot else. It isn’t that the physique permits the Soul to be. It’s the Soul that permits the physique to be. To fall into delusion is straightforward. To get out of it’s onerous.Look into the world, just for gaining data for use for outer work. For gaining braveness in rising measures, nonetheless, it’s a must to look to your personal inside. Break by the mortal sheaths of your physique. Rise above the mind-sheath. Penetrate the mental one additionally. Strive. Attempt, by ideas, by sturdy aspiration, by the use of introspection, if not by meditation. You could have the facility to do it.Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha and Ma Gurupriya are conducting the Delhi Jnana Yajna until April 9 at CIRD Vasundhara, Ghaziabad.
