Satsang with Swami Chinmayananda-Spirituality, Beauty And Mind
Swamiji : How can one be a good and faithful member of the family as well as the community and nation when one has not sublimated one's ego; one's sense of individuality has not drowned oneself in total identification with the family, community, or nation? If one still has a powerful ego, and therefore is prone to selfishness one will only cheat the family, loot the community and betray the nation.
To belong to a group is to submerge your individuality in the group personality. What we do today is act in the world centered in our own selfishness, our little egos. Let us sublimate the ego and discover or identify with the Holy Presence that permeates the entire universe. In the resultant sense of joyousness and fulfillment, when we act in the world, our actions will have a creative splendorous and a paternal affection. Service to others will be escalated to a benediction.
I
love
everything
(well,
almost)
in
god's
creation.
I
can
get
lost
watching
a
sunrise,
or
listening
to
and
seeing
ocean-waves
lash
against
the
rocks.
The
clear
blue
sky
or
a
sky
with
thundering
clouds
fascinates
me.
The
female
form
sends
"Waves
of
bliss"
(Anand
Lahari)
through
me
where
it
is
in
the
shape
of
a
sculptured
goddess
on
our
temple
walls,
or
a
rustic
Mother
feeding
her
baby,
walking
barefoot,
on
the
grass,
I
love
to
watch
the
early
morning
dew
-
etc.,
etc.
Am
I
a
victim
of
my
senses?
Is
Maya
deluding
me?
Kindly
enlighten.
Swamiji
:
I
am
extremely
happy
to
congratulate
you
for
this
particular
mood
in
you.
You
have
not
understood
the
significance.
The
beauty
is
not
in
the
things,
but
in
your
mind.
A thing on looking at which our mind gets stilled. we experience a burst of joy which the individual says is the beauty of the things. If the mind can be stopped, everything is beautiful. That which lies beyond the mind is the Self. the Divine indicated in our Shastras as that which is Shantam Shivam Sundaram.
