This is Kalpana's question when body was young mother used to say to bow god and from memories one prayer used to come,I say kaam(lust), krodh(anger), lobh(greed), moh(attachment), dambha(pride) durbhav(malice), dwesh(hatred) hariye(remove) that time intelligence had no understanding but still I used to pray, now I am able to understand from the knowledge learnt from you how and when to remove all these miseries kindly lead into the path kaam (lust), krodh (anger), mad (ego, pride), lobh (greed), dambha (pride), durbhav (malice), and dwesh (hatred) behind this the reason is only one, that is your ignorance if I say more conveniently then assuming this body as me is wrong unless we think this body as me, till then we will have the desire to satisfy the senses within it there will be greed for money there will be attachments with all the relatives that it has and the thing that i want to enjoy, that might not be taken by anyone else for that you will be proud that this thing should remain only with me and not with anyone else see, I say all good things about me, today I am saying a bad thing of childhood In childhood... putting the mat on the ground... everyone used to eat on the floor... all the plates, pots and chappati (flattened bread) are kept and everyone eats there together not on dining table, not on that so they were summer days, so there were mangoes in the bucket, do you remember that era? used to put ice in the bucket, ice used to come from the market, bucket is in center it was a small bucket and because there were six family members so there were seven or eight mangoes so the moment the bucket was filled so my eyes went on the largest mango before anyone would take I snatched the biggest one so other siblings started complaining that she took it ok it was bigger so have to cut it so had to take knife as soon as I cut, the mango was rotten from within so I looked at that rotten mango it was completely destroyed from within that i couldn't eat now I kept looking at others, he is eating, he is also eating, everyone is eating no one gave me mango that day for me that was the practical lesson that the thing that looks big and good is not necessarily good everytime that can also be bad but greed was there or not I held it out of greed, but it was a great loss from that I got a lesson if ever there are many mangoes, never take the big ones. Always take the smaller ones there are more chances for the smaller ones to be good so you have greed so who had to eat the mango? Tongue who had to take the taste? Mind knowledge says that you are not this body, tongue and mind and if you understand this thing properly it has become determined by you then what is a mango! even if there is Kohinoor diamond in front of you, you won't wish to take that even so assuming body as me and keeping the thought of mine in the body this is the prime ignorance that is why what should we do to remove anger, lust, greed, pride, ego how many different means we have to do? Everyone's mother is the same, that is ignorance just strangle this mother, ignorance as many children she has, all will die on their own What is the origin? Ignorance. Of what? Of one's own self, of oneself. of God. Acquire the knowledge of that ignorance. so if knowledge is acquired then I am not the body 'main aur mor tor tehen maya' 'jeh bas kini jeevi nikaya' says Goswami Tulsidas ji this is me and they are mine where 'I' came there 'you' came where 'mine' came there 'yours' came so the fight of 'mine' and 'yours' is world so I am not the body I am not the body, body is not mine only if this one point became clear properly everything starts to become correct on its own see contemplation is not something that it will be enough if you do it for half an hour or ten to five minutes the process of contemplation should always keep on going. let me give you one example when you sit to take food looking at the food on the plate, contemplate now this is 'this' this is chappati, this is dal, this is rice, this is curry now this is there on this plate this body which will eat this now is me now this is this, when we put 'this' into the body 'this' will become 'me' and through feces, urine and sweat when it will be excreted out of the body, it will again become 'this' when differentiated from the body, it is 'this', when inside the body, it is me but actually me is also this What is the big portion of this 'me'? It is also 'this' 'I' am not the body this Annamaya Kosha (food sheath) is not me Pranamaya Kosha (life-force sheath) is not me Manomaya Kosha (intelligence sheath), Vigyanmaya Kosha (intellect sheath), Anandmaya Kosha (bliss sheath) is not me so what is me and what is this? This thought should keep on going When you bathe then see the body; Is it me or this? when you eat then it is me or this to whom you are saying 'I' now, this is a 'vritti' which has risen in your intellect you are saying 'I' to the 'vritti' in your intellect that is why, when intellect sleeps in deep sleep so you are unable to know that I exist so what is 'I' and what is 'this'? contemplate on what is truth and untruth contemplate on what is body and what is Atman (self)? so more this contemplation becomes deeper your mind thinking the body as me the stupid things that it does and keeps jumping, it will leave doing them on its own. So simple. have you seen if two people are fighting on the road then eight to ten people start to look the show why? Why? why are you wasting time? and our intelligence is damaged such that There someone is fighting, it is enjoying one was hitting and one person from the crowd said break all his forty teeth they said there are no forty teeth at least count correctly there are thirty-two teeth. How forty? he said see brother you are fighting, he is fighting, two more will come in between two-three teeth of everyone will break. I am a dental doctor Right there in front. I will have some earning. so if you are fighting, let someone gain out of it, you will not have any profit so you should not enter into others' fight similarly body is not mine, mind is not mine, intellect is not mine, senses are not mine, so why to get into theirs' fight Put the reverse gear; See what you are; Leave what you are not; How the mind will be angry? Knowledge is deep, it takes some time to adopt the knowledge and understand it completely.
