Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Dear friends and devotees, Bhakti is eternal. Share the wisdom of His holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji 4. LUST In love even an object is elevated to life. Stones and trees speak to you; the sun, the moon, the entire creation becomes alive and divine. In lust even a living being becomes a mere object. · Lust brings tension; love brings relaxation · In lust there is cunningness and manipulation; in love there is playfulness. · Lust focuses on a part; love focuses on the whole · In lust you want to grasp and possess; in love you want to give and surrender · In lust there is effort; love is effortless · Lust brings violence; love brings sacrifice · Lust demands; love commands · In lust you are confused; in love you are focused · Lust is dark and monotonous; love has many modes and colors · Lust says, “All I want you to have is what I want.” love says, “I want you to have what you want.” · Lust causes feverishness and frustration; love causes longing and pain · Lust imprisons and destroys; love liberates and sets you free. If someone’s lust is interrupted, they become angry and start hating. Hatred in the world today is not out of love, it is out of lust. Shiva, the embodiment of innocence and love, was meditating. His meditation was disturbed by an arrow of flowers from the lord of lust. As soon as Shiva awoke, he opened his third eye and the lord of lust, “Manmatha” – one who churns the mind – was reduced to ashes. Lust grips the mind, tires the body and dulls the intellect. Lust when indulged brings inertia, and when suppressed brings anger. Lust is nothing but primordial unharnessed energy. The same energy when harnessed manifests as enthusiasm, sparkle, sharpness of intellect and love. What can you do to sublimate lust and transform it into love? · Take cold water baths · Moderate your intake of food · Undertake creative challenges · Be playful. People who are in grip of lust cannot be genuinely playful, and then there is no lust. · Be generous, when you realise that you are here only to give, and then lust is sublimated. Lust makes you possessive and greedy. · Remember death · Be in love with the divine. To be contd. . .5. With love and regards, Sastry. Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.
