meditation and creation

The fourth phase of the night of Mahapralaya, Prajapati Brahma’s sleep was broken. After remembering God, he left his bed with the desire to create the world again and when he came out, he saw that the world was already ready. “The creation of which I was thinking about, it is already ready.” Brahma was astonished to think of this.

He asked the Sun God – “Dev! What am I seeing, only me Prajapati has the power and authority to create the universe, then who created this world? The gods laughed and said – “Great man! You only saw this on one side. Now you should look in other directions also.’!

When Prajapati looked around in the direction of the ten directions, he saw every single creation everywhere. This only deepened their confusion. Astonished Brahma said – “Lord! Don’t puzzle over anymore. Please tell who created all these creations? How come someone like me has potential?’!

The Sun God said – “Prajapati! In your previous creation, a Brahmin named Indu did not have any children for a long time, then he worshiped Lord Shiva. Shiva was pleased and granted him the boon of ten sons. In due course of time, ten sons were born to Indu. His education and initiation was completed that one day Brahmin Indu died.

The sons thought that some work should be done by which the fame of our father becomes immortal. They all decided that till date no human has created the world, so ten of us should become ten Brahmas and create ten worlds in memory of our father. With this decision he sat down to meditate on you.

Within a few days, while meditating on you, his resolve got ripe, then he got the same power as you and you are seeing the miracle ahead of him. After narrating so many stories, Maharishi Vashistha said – “Oh Ram! This is the science of meditation with mantra. Whatever a man meditates on with firmness, the same becomes of power.

Shabari

Although Shabri was a Bhilini of the caste, his heart was filled with true devotion to the Lord. As dirty as she looked from outside, her conscience was pure and clean from inside.

Whatever she would do in the name of God, she had a great longing for the sight of God and she also believed that one day she would definitely have the vision of God.

There were ashrams of many sages in the forest where Shabari lived. He had a great desire to serve those sages and hear the story of God from them. Many sages did not accept to narrate the story to him because he belonged to a low caste and rebuked him like a dog.

But this did not create any anguish nor despair in his heart. He devised a way to serve the sages. She used to sweep the path from the ashram of the sages to the water source every day, free from thorns and cut woods from the forest for their use and put them in front of the ashram. This sequence of Shabari continued for months, but the sage did not know who was going to serve him indirectly.

The reason for this secrecy was that Shabri used to come after midnight to complete his work. When that program went on uninterruptedly for a long time, the sages became very curious to find out their indirect servant.

He woke up one night and found out that it was the same Bhilani who had been scolded many times and driven away from the door.

Matang Rishi saw this. They took Shabri to stay near his hut. When Lord Rama went to exile, he considered Matang sage to be paramount and hugged him first and ate the berry of Shabari lovingly.

The bull was sad and said – “God! What did you also make me, dry grass to eat, no difference between hands and feet, put more horns. Where should I go with this ugly body?

Then Brahmaji created a man with an absolutely beautiful body. Even Brahmaji asked him – ‘Vats, do you see any imperfection in yourself? After a while the newly created man said on the basis of experience – “God! There is no such thing in my life which I can satisfy by calling progress or prosperity.’!

Brahma ji said seriously – ‘Vats! Gave you heart, gave you soul, gave you a wonderful body with immense potential. Even now you are incomplete, no one can complete you.

non-attachment work

Ashvaghosha became disinterested. Due to distaste for pleasures and detachment from the world, he left home. He wandered everywhere with the desire to see God, but could not find peace. Ashwaghosh, tired of not seeing food for several days, reached a barn.

A farmer was engaged in his work in a calm and happy posture. Seeing him, Ashvaghosh asked – “Friend! What’s the secret of your happiness?!” ‘Ishwar-darshan’ he answered briefly.

Can you show me that God too? Ashvaghosh pleaded with humility. Saying well, the farmer took out some rice. Cooked them, made two parts, one for himself, the other for Ashvaghosha. Both ate rice, after eating the farmer got busy in his work. Ashwaghosh fell asleep after being tired for several days.

The food and many days of labor in intense hunger led to a deep sleep. And when he woke up, he had never felt such peace, light-heartedness, like that day before. The farmer was gone and now Ashvaghosh’s momentary dispassion had also vanished. He realized that non-attachment work is the true path to God-darshan.

His rays fell in Rajsarovar and the lotus started blooming. Slowly the lotus blossomed completely and started spreading its glory everywhere.

A voice erupted from the soul – have you still not understood the secret of where the light of the sun comes from? Isn’t light its diffraction? The glory of the lotus erupts from within.

Panchagni Vidya

Vajishrava organized the Vishwajit Yagya for his son Nachiketa, wishing for the fruit of the Yagya. In this yagya, Vajishrava gave all his wealth.

When Vajishrava asked for cows to give dakshina, Nachiketa saw that they were all old and not giving milk, so he said without arrogance – “Father, one who gives useless charity does not get heaven.”

Vajishrava became enraged at this and he donated his son Nachiketa to Yamacharya. Yama said – “Vats! I bestow you with beauty, youth, inexhaustible wealth and many pleasures.” But Nachiketa said – ‘What will I do with the happiness which is momentary and the body is about to become obsolete, give me the vision of the soul. Unless I know myself, the pleasures are useless.”

Seeing the strong curiosity, integrity and austerity required for sadhana, Yama taught Panchagni Vidya (Kundalini awakening) to Nachiketa, from which Nachiketa got the power of immortality.
