Aspire to be Controlled;

Not a Controller!!!

The most disgusting fact in this world is that we all aspire to be the controllers of others – right from our house; office / business, society, state, country and the world as a whole.

We foolish human beings cannot have control on our senses; control on our thoughts; actions and results; but we try to control the rest of the world.

Many a foolish Mayavadi Philosophy followers claim themselves as “GOD”, referring to the quote in the scriptures “Aham Brahma-Asmi” – which translated into English means, “I am God”.   These foolish Mayavadis cannot realize & accept the fact that they cannot stop their urine and stool for few minutes; but they claim to be “God” and “Equal to God” and “Every one is God”.

“Aham Brahma-Asmi” is to be taken in the right spirit that we are part and parcel of “God”; but we are not the “God”.  It is to be realized and understood that God is like a Sun and we are like Sun-Rays. 

The power, heat and energy emancipates from the Sun and the power / heat / energy of the sun-rays can never be the same because the sun emancipates its power / heat / energy by itself (in scientific language – a mixture of gases); whereas the sun-rays are the minute particle of the Sun, which cannot be claimed itself to be the Sun.

Similarly, it can also be compared that God is like electricity and we, living beings are like a bulb.  Without electricity; bulb cannot glow by its own and has no value at all.  Moreover, electricity is produced by itself – naturally; whereas bulb needs to be manufactured.

Foolish people may argue that alike bulb; electricity is also produced at hydro power stations, thermal power stations, wind power stations, solar power stations, etc.  But we are bound to accept the fact that these hydro, thermal, solar and wind are nothing but the energies emancipated from the Sun - the “God”.

It can also be compared that God is like a Root; which gives birth to the countless tress through its seeds.  But the foolish; should not conclude that the Root “God” and the branches / twigs / leaves are one and the same.  They should rather believe and admit that without the Root (God), the birth; growth and survival of branches / twigs / leaves cannot be imagined.

Therefore, one should realize and understand the constitutional position of God and our relationship with Him and should always Aspire to be Controlled; rater than Controlling.

If everyone inculcates the propensity of being Controlled and KILL the propensity to control others; then all the evil spirits of Anger, Envy, Ego, Lust, Pride; Illusion, Ignorance & Arrogance within us will vanish and there would be Peace, Prosperity and Tranquility though out the world.
