THE JOY OF GIVING TO THE SELF

Joy is a state of Mind. Prime Creator who is ever new joy (Sadasiva in Sanskrit -which means -sada -ever, siva- joy) created us in joy. And who we are is joy.  Hence we need nothing to be in joy, for we are joy itself. When we realize that joy is not created as a result of certain conditions, then we understand that when we choose to live from the state of Joy, joyous conditions are created around us! Thus the secret to create joyous conditions around us is to be in the state of joy that the creator made us to be. And never ever loose our joy for anything. Since God is "All that Is", no human is separate from God, and humans are not and cannot be separate from each other. When deep within ourselves we come to this understanding, we know that there is enough for everyone, that everyone is precious and equally blessed. This stops us from competing with one another for love, money or power or anything that we felt that was not enough. I am reminded of the Native American saying, "In'Lakesh" which means "I am You"!!! This point of understanding changes everything. Instead of competing with others to get what we want, we begin to give what we want away, instead of grasping for power we begin empowering others, instead of struggling for success we make sure that everyone else comes into success. Instead of searching for affection, attention, satisfaction, we find ourselves being the source of these things. And the wonder of it all is that, as we give - so do we receive, the Law of the Universe makes sure that we have more of whatever we are giving away!!! This has to do with the simple truth "In'Lakesh - I am You". The reason that I am in joy and loving and giving has nothing to do with being "Morally right", or " the will of God", but it has everything to do with the truth that "there is Only ONE of Us here".!!!  ~Premlatha Rajkumar~
