Use of human body and deeds

30/11/-0001

The human body is a medium for discharging the duties and doing the auspicious deeds according to the way advised in the holy books.

For example Mantra 2nd of Chapter 40 of Yajur Veda recites that while discharging the duties and doing the auspicious deed like Yoga/Yajna, family duties etc. you will find the stage where no result of any deed done by you will have to be beared by you. and in the absence of doing the auspicious deeds, there is no other way to escape you from bearing the result of the deeds.

कुर्वन्नेवेह कर्माणि जिजीविषेच्छतम समाः॥ एवं त्वयि नान्यथेतो अस्ति न कर्म लिप्यते नरे॥

(यजुर्वेद मंत्र - 40/2)

In view of the above, we see that the theory of deeds is typical, deep and vast to understand. Because when we are advanced in one way, suppose in materialism (worldly affairs) like progress in Science, High education getting degrees etc.. maintain our living standard, go ahead in Agriculture and only try to gather articles/money to make use in our daily routine one sided, on the other side we do not find its good result to obtain any peace, righteous way to worship, increasing international brotherhood, respect of humanity and to here religious qualities.

This is one-sided progress in materialism only. Again with regards to spiritualism so many saints are trying to produce themselves superior by saying that the family, science, agriculture, money matter and world etc all are destructive and they mostly preach to leave the world for doing worship. This is the second side in comparison to the above one. This one sided worship is also seen with lack of the above quoted good qualities like peace and international brotherhood etc. we see that both the above one side progress is mostly against the holy books specially against the theory of Vedas.

Because in the above quoted Mantra No 2 of Chapter 40, in fact, it is preached that O Aspirant, do progress in both the sides together. And we see Lord KRISHNA, Shri RAMA, SITA, King DASHRATH, JANAKA and several others who adopted both sides. So the theory of deeds (Karma’s) is deep. It will also be briefed later on because some sutras of Yoga Darshana also throw light on the deeds and therefore brief description will be done there. Here however, try to understand two main types of deeds (Karmas) to come up with Yoga theory. These two deeds are as follows :-

(a) Natural deeds- To eat, sleep, smile, laugh, to weep, to pass urine and stool etc.

Note: For these types of deeds neither a teacher is employed nor an institution is required to understand or do the same. These are equally done by human beings and animals/birds also.

(b) Instigated Deeds: – To study, progress in Science, Technology, Trust in God, Auspicious deeds, Yajna, Worship, Yoga Education including meditation etc.

Note: These auspicious types of deeds cannot be done by animals/birds etc. These are only meant for human beings.

So we are separated from the categories of animal/birds etc, when we are faithful to do the auspicious type of deeds mentioned at [b] above.

In all of the holy books in the world, we learn to pray or worship God to bless us to teach only instigated deeds. For example see Sama Veda Mantra No 259 :

इन्द्र क्रतुं न आ भर पिता पुत्रेभ्यो यथा ।

शिक्षा णो अस्मिन्पुरुहूत यामनि जीवा ज्योतिरशीमहि ॥ २५९

“O lord give us the knowledge to enable us to understand the instigated and auspicious deeds. O worshipful God, guide us to righteousness or teach us the yoga so that we may be able in our present life to attain Divine light”.

To guide such inspiring deeds, a perfect spiritual master who has the experienced knowledge through the power of yoga Tapasya/study etc. is required. Here it will be not out of mention that this knowledge should start right from the beginning of the earth. From the above it is concluded that when the question of instigated or inspiring deed arises, we see that several different types of instigated deeds concerning the auspicious deeds and worship are mentioned in four Vedas and in other several holy books but our ancient rishis and the wise of present time declared the Yoga property as one of the best amongst them, to realise the Almighty God and to overcome the sorrow /tension/sufferings/ills/evils/death.

They declared that the Yoga power enables mankind to live a long happy life. Here it is also authentically stressed that Yoga Education is meant for everybody. Because everybody wants a happy long life and it is a mentality of mankind not to ask for sorrows, pain etc. So to say that the Yoga is difficult and it is not meant for married personnel is against the Vedas and totally against the path of Lord Krishna, Shri Rama, King Dasharath, Janka, Sita, Madalsa and several ancient Rishis, Munis and public who remained in family married life and adopted Yoga Education/study of Vedas and attained the final liberation stage, the motto of human beings.

So nowadays it is against the holy books and preach to escape from auspicious deeds/duties by misleading ourselves by merely saying that we are doing worship only and no duty is entrusted to us. In this connection, on the theory of deeds(Karma).

An interesting story for your consideration:

Once a King was wandering in the jungle in search of hunting. Suddenly he saw a fox playing cheerfully with her children in a deep pit. The King thought to himself that it is difficult to come out of the pit. Therefore, the fox could have fallen in the pit when she was pregnant. Otherwise, from where her children came in the pit. He (King) also thought, “By which source the food has been provided therein”?

Because her children seemed to be with her for a long time, as if she would have fallen recently the children would have been wounded. If they were for the last so many days then she could not seem in a fresh and cheerful stage. Now he questioned to himself, “from where is the food arranged for them”?

When the king was busy with his problem, he suddenly heard a roar of a lion, the king of the jungle. He (king) saw that the lion playing and throwing up a dead body of a deer when coming towards the pit. To see the scene continuously, he hides himself with his horse behind a large tree. He saw that when the lion in a joyful mood threw the dead body of deer towards the sky, it suddenly fell into the pit. Again he saw that the fox was taking her meal happily and she too was satisfied to have the meal sufficient for the coming days. A thought generated in the mind of the king that what God’s amusement?

God is great. He provides food etc. To the helpless, sick and handicapped and everybody without doing a job. So, why is he worried about the un-necessary load of the kingdom and why he wastes the time to discharge the duties for the family/public. When god provides meals etc . without doing any job so I should also sit here idle and do worship only. The power who is looking after the family of foxes, certainly will also look after me, and will also provide everything here in the jungle without doing a job.

So he made up his mind to sit idle and remember the name of God. But see, that a hungry man is not able to continue his worship for a long time. Therefore, the hungry king started looking here and there if the arrangement of his food had been arranged by God and if somebody is coming with several types of finest food in a golden pot. But all in vain. Nobody came there with the food and it became night.

The king became hopeless and fell on the ground. He woke in the next morning when he saw the rays of light coming towards the earth from the sun. The king got a bath and again sat on a place (asan) and started remembering the name of God with the intention that he will send the food for him now. The time was labouring on and it is now evening. Now with the trouble of hunger, he could not remain stable. He then started taunting God by saying, “O God am I so inferior to fox that you have not taken care of me ?” see, that I left my kingdom and everything but you have not even provided me with a food.

Meanwhile a saint came before him and told the king that God has sent a message for you as under: “O mad king what type of false Yoga you adopt. You are able to be a lion then why try to be a fox”.

The words uttered by the saint opened the eyes of the king and the false knowledge of not doing hard work /auspicious deeds immediately vanished, always from his heart. He soon started walking towards his kingdom to discharge his duties.

A result of Vedas and several holy books concludes that the blessed body of mankind is meant for doing auspicious deeds at his level best. Keeping aside the duties one should never act to be merely a holy man. God does not appreciate if we shoulders our duties and livelihood towards others and sit idle by baseless thinking for showing ourselves holy men.

It is said that God does not appreciate a boastful person and therefore one should give up the act of giving himself airs. So is Yoga education. If we listen to a study properly, contain it in our mind faithfully and do action accordingly, then only we can achieve our motto while doing our duties with family and nation.
