"content": "<p>"45. This is a great sin! We are prepared to kill our own relations out of greed for the pleasures of a kingdom. </p><p>"It is easy to see why Arjuna represents you and me so well, for with a few well-chosen words he is able to point right to the cause of our disrupted relationships and increasing insecurity. With dismay he tells Sri Krishna how he fears the devastating consequences of not keeping in mind the unity underlying all life. For personal pleasure and profit we are willing to sacrifice the welfare of our family and friends, our society and environment. In Arjuna’s time, it was greed for a kingdom; in ours it is greed for a higher salary, a prestigious home, and a partner who will always agree with our opinions. As long as we seek to be lord and master over our petty personal kingdom, we bar the door to the Lord of Love within us, and confusion and chaos reign. This is the inevitable consequence of violating the unity of life by attempting to go our own separate way. </p><p>"The Bible tells us we cannot love both God and Mammon at the same time, and in the spiritual tradition of India, great sages like Sri Ramakrishna will remind us that for Rama – the source of abiding joy – to come into our lives, Kama – the craving to satisfy our personal desires – must go. Our capacity for joy is so great that going after passing pleasure is like throwing a peanut in an elephant’s mouth and expecting him to be full. We are so trapped in our self-willed existence that we do not realize how clouded our judgment is and how tragically we waste the gift of life trying to acquire another car, which will pollute our environment, or enjoy an extra gourmet meal, which will add to our weight and injure our health. </p><p>"The English mystic William Law describes how most of us go through life under the illusion that satisfying selfish desires can bring happiness: 'A life devoted to the interests and enjoyments of this world, spent and wasted in the slavery of earthly desires, may be truly called a dream, as having all the shortness, vanity, and delusion of a dream; only with this great difference, that when a dream is over nothing is lost but fictions and fancies; but when the dream of life is ended only by death, all that eternity is lost, for which we were brought into being.' As long as we have not seen someone who has conquered all that is self-willed in himself, we will find it hard to believe that we can cast off this spell of separateness and awake to the unity of life. But in the world's great religions, we have mystic after mystic showing us that this is possible if we are willing to change the direction of our lives through the practice of meditation. In our own time we have the inspiring example of Mahatma Gandhi, who attained the unitive state and helped many others undertake the struggle against all that is selfish and separate. His real name was Mohandas K. Gandhi, but in India we prefer to call him by the title Mahatma, ‘the great soul,’ because by reducing himself to zero he was able to identify himself with the four hundred million suffering people of India and bring about not only their political emancipation but a spiritual renewal as well. Sometimes he is known as Gandhiji, the ji being added to his name as a sign of affection and respect. Such was Gandhiji’s spiritual stature that he could transform little people made of clay into heroes and heroines. During India’s struggle for independence, we had a leader from the North-West Frontier Province whose people were very brave and enduring, but also rather violent. Gandhi had the daring to go into their midst and tell them that if they really were brave they would throw away their guns and learn to fight nonviolently. Their leader, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, responded to Gandhi’s challenge and transformed himself into such an invincible combination of courage and gentleness that he became known as the Frontier Gandhi. </p><p>"Even one person standing against violence, whether it is in the home, in the community, or between nations, can become a source of inspiration for everyone who comes in contact with him. The words from the Sermon on the Mount are not just to be illuminated in manuscripts; the Dhammapada is not just to be inscribed on stupas; the Bhagavad Gita is not just to be etched on palmyra strips and carried in our hip pocket as a talisman. The man or woman who practices the teachings of these great scriptures will become aware of the unity of life, and this awareness will give constant strength and inspiration to those who seek to turn anger into compassion, fear into courage, and selfishness into self-forgetfulness in the joy of the whole."</p><p> - Eknath Easwaran, The End of Sorrow: Volume One of The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living</p><p><a href=\"https://c.im/tags/Religion\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>Religion</span></a> <a href=\"https://c.im/tags/Spirituality\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>Spirituality</span></a> <a href=\"https://c.im/tags/Hinduism\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>Hinduism</span></a> <a href=\"https://c.im/tags/Gandhi\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>Gandhi</span></a> <a href=\"https://c.im/tags/Detachment\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>Detachment</span></a> <a href=\"https://c.im/tags/Meditation\" class=\"mention hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#<span>Meditation</span></a></p>",
