What is action or karma, and what
is its cardinal spirit? The relative change of position of object is termed
karma. This can never be performed beyond the periphery of time, space and
person. The relative change of place of objects presupposes the very existence
of time, space and person. Karma sanyasi is cardinal spirit of action. The word
sanyasa is derived from the terms sam or sat and nyasa. Sat refer to the
unchangeable Entity. Sanyasa implies one’s total identification with that
unchangeable Entity.
Karma
sanyasa is possible only when each factor of time, space and person comes
within the scope of actual relationship with the subjective bearing; that is,
time factor with the eternal Entity, space with all pervading Entity and the
personal factor with the Supreme shelter. That is wht karma sanyasa is a state
of supreme culmination. It is natural rile of the universe that those who
possess immense knowledge are quite conscious of their intellectual
limitations, whereas people with superficial knowledge think just opposite. The
genuine way of learning for a seeker of knowledge is to consider always that
they know nothing.
You
can execute ordinary type of work with your own little intellect. But if you
aspire to undertake any noble venture, then you have to unite your own intellect
with Cosmic Intellect, and work with the help of the Supreme Knowledge of Supreme
human. As the evolution process proceeds usually from crude towards the subtle,
to make your own intellect subtle, take ideation of the subtlest entity not to
remain engrossed in crude objects. With constant ideation of the Supreme, the
mind will gradually attain more and more subtlety and will ultimately be converted
into the subtle entity. After this, the sense of separation in the microcosm
ceases to exist, and it becomes one with the Cosmic Mind. When the unit
intellect arrives at this highest point, it becomes one with Supreme Intellect.
When
Supreme Consciousness remain in his original stance, he is called Para Brahmn. But
when that Para Brahmn is transmitted into different ideas or objects, then
Supreme Consciousness is termed Apara Brahmn. Attachment towards Apara Brahmn
is caked aparabhakti, and intense love for Para Brahmn is called parabhakti.
Karma sanyasa is only possible for those people whose goal of life is Para
Brahmn. When the mind leaves all objects and races towards the Supreme Entity,
that’s bhakti. When spiritualists move towards the Supreme their minds are
unknowingly and gradually transformed. When one’s individual and personal
feelings are completely removed from the mind, at that moment one begins to
advance, and the Supreme State is attained.
You
should also cultivate this kind of love towards society which is the offspring
of God, and according to natural law, you will certainly attain this love, for
it is totally natural. There is no other way to attain God than to render
selfless services to the world.
