Today as usual I was talking to
my sister. I am very proud of my sister as she has abundant potentialities
loaded with loads of virtues and spirituality. She pens poems extempore and as
a musician by hobby, she assigns some ragas and sings the same. Every song is
an emotional upsurge and a flow of her heart to the divine.
Today’s topic goes like this – she was in her pooja room
taking out the old flowers on God to
replace the same with fresh ones while offering the pooja, this thought came to
her – “ Nobody offers the flowers which has been removed from God which in
local language we call it as –Nirmalya. Our body is a temple for the God to
reside. If we are loaded with bad thoughts, bad actions and bad mind (Kaya,
Vacha, manasa) how is that we can surrender to God and His acceptability
thereon. Definitely He will ask us to get cleansed and repeat the effort. This
cleansing, if not learnt properly, may take life after life or in this life
itself we can make earnest efforts to mindfully cleanse, to the best of our
knowledge. So we should be like a fresh fragrant flower which God loves.”
Yes, makes lot of sense. Though
the content is the same in all of us, like made up of panca bhutas, the same
soul, mind and body, yet we are different as per our Karmic loads. Life is a
great learning ground and learning is from womb to tomb. While basic
information like alphabets of a language are prewritten which we call it as
destiny, yet we can modify the same by mindfully thinking, acting and using our
special faculty-“Intelligence”. As Swami Vivekananda says “We are the creators
of our destiny”.
I was thankful to God for His
precious gift of this great sister and starting my day with beautiful thoughts.
