Man in the Mirror PROJECT: Exploring the Upanishads Cont'd

The Eternal Beyond the Mind

"The Upanishad first affirms the existence of this profounder, vaster, more puissant consciousness behind our mental being.  That, it affirms, is Brahman. Mind, Life, Sense, Speech are not the utter Brahman; they are only inferior modes and external instruments.  Brahman-consciousness our real self and our true existence."


Give of Yourself

"See yourself as a God.  Someone who exists in the universe only to serve mankind.  In this way you yourself will be served by the multitudes.  You will want for nothing and nothing will be out of your reach.

Servitude means this; expressing joy when looking to give it to others.  It is with a joyful loving heart that service is given.  In gratitude to be able to serve; in love; your willingness to serve.  It is true that this is and will reveal the purpose in each flower beholden in your humanity.  If you do not serve others what will be a fulfilled purpose?  Certainly not of the self.  For in serving yourself only you will never be truly satisfied..  The reason is simple; You have not taken the time to know yourself enough to even know what would make you happy.  If you think this is not true, then why do so many want "more" when they do get what they "wanted" in the first place?

True fulfillment only comes in a completion of the soul and purpose that it carries.  Always be mindful of what you are reaching for.  In your highest good you will achieve  your highest level of satisfaction.  True humility, a pure heart and purposeful living will plant the seeds for wisdom, purity and a higher state of being.

Be wise and do what is necessary of yourself and I promise all things that you now think dear to you will seem trivial.  Those things that you have not even noticed will blossom before your eyes.  True humility, true worth and true enlightenment only happen when one readies for it - extending oneself into what might be instead of what they think it is.  Open, honest reflection on oneself and the world surrounding the individual.  Let yourself be open to the possibility and all things will be made available to you.

Lessen your burden by lessening your minds worries.  Lessen your light by letting them weigh you down.  You see, you are the one prohibiting your own self from advancement or placing yourself upon the path to attainment."
