the speaking tree - The Theme Of Parthasarathi Krishna's Life
Shri Shri Anandamurti
|
What did Krishna's worldly existence signify? He was an embodiment of tremendous karma shakti, energy for service. He was determined to overpower whatever was harmful for humanity by application of his indomitable strength and commanding force, while facilitating the growth of all that was good and helpful. Those of noble intentions who are weak and lack the ability to provide for themselves should be supported and cared for by society . This was the theme of Parthasarathi Krishna's life.Many people remain weighed down by numerous cares and anxieties as well as the lack of the basic necessities of life.Parthasarathi took birth at a critical juncture in the history of human society, towards the end of the Vedic Age, when exploitation had reached its zenith, with opportunists finding ample scope to prey on those weaker. At such a moment could he afford to teach people that all was Maya? That their fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters did not really exist? Rather, he expected people to sympathise with the poor and the miserable and help to alleviate their suffering.
Parthasarathi never preached the vairagya message of the mohamudgara. This nihilistic philosophy has made the people of India and Southeast Asia averse to reality and has been the cause of untold misery in their lives. The life of Parthasarathi was the antithesis of this nihilism. He advised people, “Move collectively; look after the welfare of all; develop yourselves in the physical, psychic, and spiritual planes while maintaining proper adjustment among them; follow the dictum, `Varttamanesu vartteta' `Live in the present' meaning that while you engage with your mundane problems collectively, you should direct your minds towards subtler spheres.“
The body you possess in this relative world requires food, water, and so on to maintain its existence, and vital energy in order to function properly. To increase your vital energy you need a suitable quantity of food. If you cannot provide food through your own efforts, then society should do it for you. For this, Dharmarajya, rule of righteousness, must be established, and that is why Parthasarathi devoted his entire time and energy to establish it. His message is, “Do all your mundane duties with utmost sincerity, but keep your mind constantly engaged in the thought of Parama Purusha, the Supreme Entity.“
To make significant progress you must remain in the company of Parama Purusha not just for a fleeting moment, but constantly, round the clock.But if you look upon this world as mithya, then your existence will also be unreal, and then to whom will you turn to for company with your heavy load of unreality? What is the benefit of keeping company with good people only for a moment, if your very existence is negated?
Parthasarathi taught people that this body exists, and vital energy also exists.People should always try to develop the body, mind and vital energy that they have been endowed with, and should always bear in mind that Parthasarathi is always with them. He has continued playing his flute to draw your mind towards the internal world, and he who held the flute also held the sword to promote the greater welfare of humanity.
One who is devoted to Ishvara, who meditates on Parama Purusha with madhura bhava, sweetest intimacy, need not go on a pilgrimage, for he remains constantly with Parama Purusha. Such a person will say: “I am always in Vrindavana, I am never without Hari, the Lord.If you call him, he will respond.“
