The Cosmic Connection
Elucidation by Dr. T. R. K.
OM TVAM ASI PRASHASYO VIDAATESHU SAHANTYA.
AGNE RATHIRADVARAANAAM.
AGNE is that fire of Creation which is constantly emanating
from Omniscient Reality. Here RATHIIRADHVARAANAAM means mighty warrior
of our eternal journey. We are the warriors riding in this body. We
are the killer of our enemies, SAHANTYA, in this battlefield, VIDATHESU.
Who are the enemies? Our enemies are not other people. Our enemies are
our own ego manifestations and negative tendencies. TVAMASI PRASASYO
means worthy of glorification. Only the Cosmic Creative Regenerative
Force is worthy of glorification in this battlefield of life.
The human body is the vehicle, the RATHA, which we were
given to experience our eternity in this battlefield of life. The cosmic
mind within this body creates in us a most powerful fighting force.
But in order to use that power, we have to recognize the energies of
superconsciousness and bring those energies into our lives. Through
the practices of meditation, yoga, recitation of Ved Mantras, and through
doing good actions, we actively regenerate cosmic energies within us.
Those energies bring us inner peace and happiness. They also enable
us to become the mighty warrior who gains control over the enemies of
the soul.
The problem is that most people do not recognize the enemy.
They think that the enemy is outside of themselves. But the real enemy
is ignorance of our Supreme Nature. We manufacture our own stress and
mental agitation with negative thinking and ego manifestations.
However, when the mind is free from agitations (such as
regretting past mistakes, reacting to other people's imperfections,
or worrying about the future), then we begin to experience higher vibrations.
It is when we slow down inside and experience inner peace, that we start
to understand that our enemies are in our own mind. In a peaceful state,
we become aware of our Supreme Nature, and we detach ourselves from
our mental agitations. We become the witness and the doer of good actions.
Then we live from the point of view of inner confidence, peace, and
joy, and we automatically radiate good energies. When we connect to
the fire of superconsciousness inside us, we stop struggling with our
mind. We gain TEJA (glow) and positive vibrations.
Thus, it is very important to take time off from our mental
activities, not by escaping into entertainment or diversions, but by
becoming quiet inside. When we vibrate those cosmic energies, we gain
total control over the mind. We need to practice relaxation and energize
ourselves through yoga and breathing. We have to objectify our shortcomings
and overcome them. We need to develop good habits, such as loving and
giving, connecting to our higher consciousness, and exhuberating joy
and goodness. These are the yoga practices. Through these practices,
our mind stops disturbing us, and we become a channel of fantastic healing
power.
If we want to experience a tremendous amount of happiness,
we must drop all the nonsense of the running mind, and become warriors
of consciousness. We should remain established in the regenerative freshness
of cosmic power within us. With the weapon of Cosmic Wisdom, we can
overcome the enemies of the soul, and glorify the fire of the Creator
in this battle of life.
