Dormants' blabber

In melancholy mood, for reasons none but causes a plenty, plentiful I.

Learning French part-time, settling into a routine life !

Unwandering, I stand by shores,
Awaken, I await my oars
To steer life by commands
Of all, that my soul demands !
At loss of words, as dear delusions erode
In despondents' war, derision will corrode

I would love to add my five cents to philosophy, and the knowledge about karma. Since it has been attempted well at advaita, I won't duplicate further. If we are all running towards attaining naishkarmya (state of being actionlessness - attaining mukti), and are looking to evade the viscious cycle of actions and reactions, (karma and karma-phala), then my dormancy is well justified :) .. While trying to be dormant, I am trying not to act. Thus, letting time take over me. Am I attaining salvation through short-cuts ?

Jokes apart, there is a different meaning to naishkarmya. One has to fulfill all the lawful duties of the body, society and the supremem power (i..e,soul). This is referred to as karma-yoga. Once a person attains karma yoga, salvation is duly blesssed when one exhibits inactivity, tapasya and bhakti. Attaining karma-yoga is every individual's dharma.

There lies the catch, dispossession and actionless presence, take one, closer to God. But he wouldn't accept you before you fulfill your assigned duties either. While expending your duties, if you did slip off your track, salvation walks farther away from you. Indeed, it is a great feat in itself, to attain salvation.

Caught between the understanding of karma and dharma, I wander, in search of the ultimate truth, awaiting death, expecting salvation and expending a dutiful life. At times as this, I can only sing this to myself, "punarapi jananam, punarapi maranam!" .. verse off Bhajagovindam

Leaving it incomplete and unspoken, for my duty at work, invites me to my karma !

P.S - I quit drinking, a few months ago, so this ain't hangover math!

June 23rd' Happy Birthday Eyoks !
