Dispassion

The word "DISPASSION" 

   What exactly does it mean... this word has been mistook by most of the people... what normal Human mind perceive this as not indulging yourself in any of the worldly activities and any of the Worldly pleasures... No indulgence in the pleasure through the 5 senses... not to eat nice food, no smelling good fragrances, no hearing So called non satvic music and such kind of Taboos... 

   The irony in the situation is most of the people doesn't even know what Passion is!!! not knowing what is passion one cannot understand what is dispassion... you are passionate about something, u get it or u don't is a different matter all together... but that feeling of what is Passion is the link to understand what is Dispassion... the Pinnacle of Passion is dispassion... Surprised!!!! but true... where there is passion there is no feverishness, no bondage, where there is greed there is feverishness, negativity...

   When you are passionately in love with someone or something you just adore it the way it is... when there is a sense of possessiveness there the problem arise... there passion turns into greed or lust or obsession... the pure form of Love is Passion... when true passion is experienced then only one can understand Dispassion... It is easy for somebody to just put it into words what is dispassion...

   To understand dispassion first understand and experience passion... Sadly most of us do not realize the fine line between the Distortions of Love & Passion... Love on the level of Bhakti is Passion... where there is Passion there cant be sadness or misery... One automatically tends to feel Vibrant and blissful when there is Passion... the end of Passion is Dispassion... When it doesn't make any difference whether there is the presence of that particular thing/Person but still there is bliss, that state of mind is Dispassion... If there is presence one tend to enjoy it to the fullest but not crave for it when there is none... That is dispassion... Dispassion itself says "DIS" is "PASSION"... (This is Passion)!!!! hehehe an original one!!! :-) 

   One has to be aware and this awareness develops on its own... Everything is just effortless...

   There are many who will not agree with this... But this is the WAY IT IS.... Full Stop.

Longing

What is Longing???

    If you see, in this whole universe there is longing... The whole creation... In fact this longing keeps everything up & running. The Day longs for the Dusk, the Dusk long for the night, the night longs for the Dawn & Dawn for the Day... Even in the nature there is longing... Flowers long for the Bees, Bees long for the nectar, Birds long for their nests... Leaves long for the sunshine... Flower too wait for the Sun to rise so that they can bloom... While some flowers bloom at the Night... Every aspect of life, whether living or non-living is longing for something or the else...

    The disciple is longing for the Master and the Master also longs for the Disciple... Such an amazing gift is this Longing... For few it becomes a part of their life and for a very few Fortunate ones Life itself become Longing...

    Now if u see there is a slight difference between Remembrance & Longing... you have to keep remembering things which for sometime you tend to forget... But when there is longing... the thought never leaves your attention in the worst as well as the Best of situation... When remembrance seeps through your entire existence it becomes longing...

   It is the most precious gift given to the whole creation by the Divinity... "Param Virahaskti" - Longing for the Divine/Master. This is the Longing at the Pinnacle of all other types of Longings... in this state even the slightest distance cannot be bearable... The Ultimate end of Longingis a state where even the personal existence or the Duality is also unbearable... All knowledge dawns automatically once this state or stage is achieved... 

   The funniest part is that no matter what all you do, what and however much practice ( Sadhna ) you do it is not at all possible to attain this state... you cant "DO" anything to attain this state... You can only Pray... Only the Master can grant you this state that too IF HE WANTS...

   This came when i was sitting at Shakti Kutir.... JGD
