Sri Aakassdeep`s message of the day :
My dear friend, inside every human is a Bodhisattva. The difference between a Buddha and you is, Buddha comes to know this truth and became awake, you do not know it and you remain the slave of the senses and you live your whole life unconsciously.
No human being is sense. Senses are the tools, through them the soul/you get all the information. It is a bridge, between you and others. These are the servants of you. But, the way, if a Master is always sleeping or not at home, then by and by, servants become the Master of the house and behave like a Master rather than a servant. Same thing happens with the senses, sound, flavor, touch, odor or any quality. By and by they become so strong, the way they want you to act, you just become the puppet of the senses. 99.99 % people in the world are the slave of their senses. The way senses move, they just obey that senses. It is such a shame, Master become the servant and servant becomes the Master in unconsciousness. But the moment, you become awake, you become the Master. That`s why, in India, those become the Master of their senses, we call them Sanyasin and Swami. Swami means, true friend of oneself and true Master. We call them true Master, because in the society, those who show they are the Master by becoming boss of a company or holding some big position in the society, they are not the Masters. They are just the slaves. One becomes the true Master, when one becomes Master of himself. It is a great revolution. But how easy it looks, it is not that easy. Although your senses are your servant, but when you will order them to obey you, they will not simply obey you. Many, many lives, they are out of control. So, they are not simply going to listen to you. If you want to control them, immediately, they will declare a war with you. The moment you will tell them something not to do, you will find, they will like to do that in a double speed. If you tell them not to think about monkey, you will see, only things they will find are monkeys. You will see the monkeys, you will listen monkeys, there will be monkeys all around. Just try one day, just decide to remain hungry for a day, then you will get up next day, you will be surprised by your experience, that generally you take a lunch at one, but from ten o`clock that day, you feel already hungry. By eleven, you will see, no food can pass by you, without your notice. By twelve, you will see, everything you are thinking is connected with foods. By one, you will see, all the senses start behaving like nut case. By three or four, you will see, as if whole world becomes food for you. All the people, in the religious ceremony of fasting, they experience this. Many people take fasting as a ritual or a source to go to heaven. But the real purpose of fasting is, to declare your mastery over your body and bring back the energy and focus within you, because of all the senses, the energy is moving outwards. But if, you want to know yourself as a Bodhisattva, you have to turn this source inwards. When energy is flowing outwards, then one becomes objective conscious. Objective conscious is, when you are awake in your daily activity. You look like you are conscious, but in reality, your consciousness is not true consciousness. Your consciousness in reality is objective consciousness. Your senses, this way or that way are focused to some objects. 99% times, society created those objects for you to focus and from childhood you became trained to do so and one time, you automatically just do that. For example, if you are watching TV, newspaper or other things and again and again, Colgate toothpaste advertisement is showing to you and one day you need a toothpaste and you go to the market, there will be so many toothpastes in the market, automatically you will buy Colgate toothpaste. You will think, you bought it, but in truth, Colgate created an objective consciousness for you, before you know that. You just react like a machine. Whole society`s interest is to create as much objective consciousness as possible. Because that way, they can use your whole life for their benefit. You will live your whole life, without knowing it, you did not live your life for you at all. Your mind will be totally trained and prepared for objective consciousness. But, when you will become aware, somehow, that you are a Buddha and you will decide to be the Master of your senses, then you will purify your mind. Your consciousness has to move out from darkness to light. From objective conscious to consciousness. You have to consciously watch your senses to understand its object. So that, the moment it starts focusing to some object, immediately you can focus your light to that and you can become aware about it. So your senses/body do not just do that mechanically. By and by, through that awareness, senses will start obeying you, the way you will want them to do. You will see that, what you want to see. You will listen when you want to listen something. Not running for to listen without your permission. You will taste and touch only that, what you wanted to test and touch. A time will come, when you will establish your mastery over the senses. From objective consciousness you will become a pure consciousness. Your mind will not be any more full of objects of the outside world, rather it will be totally focused to your inner self, your original self and its purity. Like a virgin. This is the true meaning, when you hear, the child of God only can be born out of virginity. Virginity is not the physical virginity, it is the virginity of the mind. It has to get it back and be fresh like its origin. Only then, a Bodhisattva, a true son of God can be born. So, I hope and pray for you lesser and great Bodhisattva, you will develop a pure lucid mind, not depending upon sound, flavor, touch, odor or any quality. You should develop a consciousness, which alights upon no thing, and so you should establish it.
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
