Who Gives Us Vices & Sorrow?
You might have this question in mind, after listening to or reading the gyan Murli... Baba has said in the Sakar Murlis: "The father gives you his inheritance of peace, purity, love, and happiness. Ravana gives you his inheritance of vices and sorrow". But it is important to understand what this Ravana is, and how it all happens from the copper age.
Q: Who Gives Us Vices & Sorrow?
The following was our written answer to the above question, posted on our WhatsApp group Samadhan (God Answers) in May 2024. Join group
Ravana gives us the five vices and sorrow.
☘️Nope... that was a pull, not the answer. But that is how children are taught. Stories are made with a hero (the good side) and a villain (the bad side) > in order to give a message. Here, entity called Ravana is made up in stories to represent the "vices" and "weaknesses" present in all human beings. While Rama represents the "goodness" and "virtues" in all of us.
🌱The right answer to your question is: "ℕ𝕠 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕘𝕚𝕧𝕖𝕤 𝕦𝕤 𝕗𝕚𝕧𝕖 𝕧𝕚𝕔𝕖𝕤 𝕠𝕣 𝕤𝕠𝕣𝕣𝕠𝕨"
👉Just as no one can give you "darkness" > because darkness does not exist >> it is merely an absence of light > where light does not reach.
But darkness can be created--by restricting the flow of light.
🍁When the soul "forgets" its original nature, that it is "light" (𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕔𝕚𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕤)... and falsely identifies itself as the physical body (matter) which is visible outside > it is just like restricting that light. This creates the seed of all illusion (Maya). Body-consciousness is the root of all vices.
🪻The light of the soul is the virtues of 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐣𝐨𝐲. When we do not act with these original virtues, we create 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚌𝚎 for darkness to exist (as an absence of this light)
🪴This darkness is what we call vices (absence of virtues). We allow these mainly 5 vices (anger, lust, greed, ego, attachment) to make home in our mind when we forget our true identity >> 𝔽𝕠𝕣 𝕖𝕩𝕒𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖: Unless you forget that "𝚒 𝚊𝚖 𝚙𝚎𝚊𝚌𝚎" > you cannot experience what anger is.
🌿Therefore, a good way to not experience sorrow >> is by not acting under these vices.
★HOW?
Answer: By having a constant "remembrance" of WHO AM I and with experiencing this soul-conscious stage. As long as you remain in this stage, Maya (the vices) cannot enter your mind. For this reason affirmations (swamaan abhyas) is very helpful. This practise keeps us in the "𝚊𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜" of being the SOUL and also aware of the virtues (𝚙𝚞𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚢, 𝚙𝚎𝚊𝚌𝚎, 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎, 𝚓𝚘𝚢).
🍎Good... so we have explained this in simplest terms so a child can understand. There are broader concepts to understand, so i ask the members of this group to always read all of my responses (they are meant for everyone)
