SPIRITUALLY AWAKE
The Law of Karma like the law of gravity prevails, though we
do interfere with the law of gravity when we travel by plane
or go up by elevators. Similarly if one understands the Law of
Karma, one can create future happiness and present contentment
by understanding scientifically its working.
Also just like the law of gravity does not operate beyond
the world?s atmosphere, (it does in a way, but it gets
smaller. It keeps the Universe running, and the solar systems
dancing together the way they do) similarly with prayer and
repentance, one enters that realm where all conflict between
good and evil melt away under the bene¬volent grace of the
Supreme Law.
It is believed that Rama?s advent to the forest was to
fulfill certain promises that he had made to his devotees.
When the people of Ayodhya learned that Sri Rama was leaving
for the forest, they decided to follow him there.
They were not interested in living in a kingdom without
Rama.
They left their belongings and all that they were attached
to, for the hardships of the forest. However the people of
Ayodhya fell asleep on the way and Rama went ahead without
them.
This is symbolic. In the spiritual path one has to be awake
all the time, not physically, but spiritually one must be
constantly aware of one?s failings and weaknesses. If one
falters, God just leaves.
We can thus conclude that One’s control over the Karma can
make him stay awake Spiritually and follow God all the way.
ARISE AWAKE AND STOP NOT TILL THE GOAL IS REACHED ! -swami
