Transcend yourself…. December 15, 2006

folks,
Many times I wonder what am I doing in this world. Long days of aimless running without the slightest idea of why we are moving in this world.well, it is a question to ponder. I stay in a place called Mylapore in chennai. The place is very popular for the prestigious and the ancient “Kapali” temple, lord siva present in his eternal state. The place is also popular for “Universal Temple of Sri Ramakrishna“, one of my favourite places in the city.

Right from my school days I had an inclination to reach out for places which is very calm and slient in nature. The temple of Sriramakrishna is so unique in the sense that it is located in a buzzing road with usually runs with heavy traffic and vehicle sound horns. But there is a sudden transformation with silence the moment we enter inside. This change made me to become more involved with the place. I admired the charisma of swami vivekananda and started to read the small books by vivekananda.

Man ultimately lives in this world for only two reasons, Health and Peace. Whatever he does ultimate necessarily tones down to these points. There are people like vivekananda who have made the process of meditation more simpler and more useful for people like us who needs to perform his duties in this world but still can know the ultimate truth, the universal peace. vivekananda teachings range from Aham (Ego), karma and Gnana yoga and ultimately ends with the concept of “Aham Brahmasmi”, I am God. Man needs to transcend himself to the state where he finds the ultimate happiness in any form in which he considers it to be the eternal one.vivek.jpg
