Pure Soul Vs Mind

March 8, 2010

I have sinned so much in life, i cannot explain and I do not know why Sri

Krishna has shown mercy on me and showed me the path to him.

I know I am the pure soul, and I surely am seeing all human beings as pure

souls. Everyday after Aarti to Sri Krishna I pray that I do not hurt any pure

soul by mind body and speech. When I walking I keep praying to all around me

within myself visualising Sri Krishna in thier chest and me prostrating and

asking Sri Krishna's blessing, mercy, grace and love. This has worked wonders in

a lot of places, in the bus, in the office and home too.

By Body and Speech, i do not hurt at all. If a person hurts me by speech, I

usually understand that this is my accounts that are being cleared from my

previous lives. I smile (within) and pray to the pure soul within the person and

pray he gets peace, and beg forgivance in my mind from the pure soul within that

person, that I have been a tool for agitating his mind has actually hurt him\her

in some way.

I also know that I am not my mind. Sometimes my mind shows me that " This person

is hurting you, give him back shout at him " . Then I within tell myself to my

mind " I know you are doing your duty of showing me what to do, but I am pure

soul and the other person is also pure soul " and so on. And the mind stops

agitating me. It again starts and then I convince it. Sometimes I see the mind

giving the thoughts and then i smile and I do not get dragged into it and keep

smiling, that the mind is just doing its duty.

Now my question is: because of the above way of living, it has helped me in

office and home and everywhere. But sometimes things like when people use me too

much for I know this is also one more thought by the mind telling me that people

are using me and so on. I am already sure, we are all here only to serve Sri

KRishna and we need to reach him. By agitating anyone, will only create a

barrier in our life towards Sri KRishna.

But still I want to tell what my mind says for your perspective and your point

of view:

Mind: The person is misusing your kindness and behaviour .

Pure Soul: Let him what is he going to do with me, he will affect only the body

that is not mine, which will be left in this world.

YOUR VIEW PLEASE

My Life is not mine, it is Sri Krishna Hare Krishna

Hari Om.

Here are my humble thoughts in some simple words. It is great that you are able

to see him in everything and think that everything is a manifestation of him

only. By doing this, you are being one with him every second of your life.

However, his advice is that we play our roles nicely. I guess it is the theory

of 'agreeing to disagree'. Wherever there is 'adharma' we can certainly speak

up and stand against it like 'Gandhi' did. The intention of our actions

certainly matters. If it stands for your selfless services, there is no need of

fear. Just the way you see him in others, be him as well. You are not the doer,

but he is. Then you won't feel that others are taking advantage of you. They

are doing it merely because of ignorance. They just react to what comes to their

minds. Be compassionate and include them in your prayers as well while playing

your roles nicely as a service to the lord. Offer every karma, thoughts, ego

and everything you see, hear,..to him. so they will be purified.

Prem and Om

Dear Mathaji,

Our concept of stand up for fighting has all come because of the

misconception of Sri Krishna telling Arjuna to Fight

Sri Krishna does not need Arjuna to fight. He creates and terminates so many

worlds like this. Why did he want Arjuna to fight. I would like to give from

Srila Prabhupada Purport

Being an associate of Lord Krishna, Arjuna was above all ignorance, but Arjuna

was put into ignorance on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra just to question Lord

Krishna about the problems of life so that the Lord could explain them for the

benefit of future generations of human beings and chalk out the plan of life.

So it was only Sri Krishna will and plan that Arjuna ask questions and he

instructs the Bhagvad Gita which will help all of us.

I would also like to qoute from

Srimad Bhagavatam 5.5.26 Where Lord Rashabdev instructs his sons

My dear sons, you should not envy any living entity — be he moving or nonmoving.

Knowing that I am situated in them, you should offer respect to all of them at

every moment. In this way, you offer respect to Me.

Dear Mataji, the above statement clearly states that Lord Sri Krishna is within

everyone and that we need to respect to all of them at every moment to the

extent to even Moving or Non Moving, where is the question of standing up for

right or wrong.

Everything and anything is only his will and not even a leaf will move without

his will.

Let us assume there is Tsunami, Earthquake where will and how will stand up to

fight. A close relative is dying, we pray.

Then why not pray to the pure soul of the person who uses you, insults you or

says something wrong.

When you cant stand up for these what do you want to stand and fight for our

body, which is be burnt when we leave to reach Sri Krishna.

Hare Krishna

Gratitude for your association and your posting.
