Nirmohatve niścalatatvaṁ,’ says Ādī Śaṅkarācārya, taking a cue from the Master. It means: Absence of desires leads to a clear and still mind and inner space, steeped in the wisdom of completion. When there are no desires, there are no emotions such as joy, depression, sadness, anger, disappointment, jealousy that normally arise from the fulfillment or non-fulfillment of such desires. When the mind is without fear and anger, without expectations of success and failure, the unattached mind seeks that which is unattached. First the objects drop, then the desire for the objects disappears as truth dawns. This may sound complicated, but is as simple as counting ‘1, 2, 3.’
Feel responsible! You are the
microcosmic hologram of the
macrocosmic diagram. Once we
choose to live based on
responsibility, we know our real
present needs and not futuristic
wants. We rise into thepresent
moment of completion. Desires
based on past and future dissolve.
We then realize that we too are the
brahmānda, Universe and that we
can have all that we need as all that
belongs to the Universe belongs to
us also.
