Spiritual thinking: A lesson learned from mate pigeons

Avaduthan says that once upon a time there lived two mate pigeons in a forest. They have been living together for years. So the attachment for each other also came and when the children were born, both were absorbed in nurturing them and became attached to them too and they fell into the realm of delusion. They thought of nothing but this happy family.

One day the male pigeon and the female pigeon went to look for prey. Then a hunter came and caught the baby birds in a net. When the pigeons returned, they saw that the chicks were trapped in the net, and the female pigeon's heart began to wail, seeing the miserable condition of the chicks. Overwhelmed with unbearable grief, the male pigeon began to wail in various ways as he threw himself into the net and waited to see it. 

It kept wailing, my wife and children are caught by the hunter, how can I live without them, my everything is destroyed, how can I live without my wife, so the male pigeon jumped into the net, crying and squeezing,What a pity, they are all tied up. Can anyone save them?

It is not possible, so why do we jump into that situation ourselves. What is the benefit of it? 

Do you know what the hunter did? He took everything very happily. 

To love is a very good thing To love home and family is absolutely necessary Without love planetary efforts will not be fruitful Life will have no fun Here is the thing to understand... This is a foolish attachment, How can I live without it today? and it is not right to indulge in it. Such attachment is of no use because it is not possible to save the one who is waiting for death or himself, so what is the benefit. 

So don't indulge in such foolish belief. This is the lesson I learned from the homing pigeons.

How to eliminate fear!

How does fear arise?  Any thought that causes sorrow will cause fear and any action will also cause fear.  Because pleasures and pains depend on something foreign to us, there is fear depending on it.  It is necessary to develop the mindset that there is no second way to get rid of fear, is it enough to develop that mindset?  It must be firm, what must be done to make it firm?  The consciousness of oneness must come to experience. Advaita is the limitless expression of the consciousness of unity.Meditation is necessary to express and realize that advaita in life, one must approach a guru, follow the advice on the face of the guru, extroverted life and introverted sadhana without being ready for it will be of no use. For there to be fear, there must be a second object, and a second object is consciousness. "Absolute Consciousness is Brahmam" "You are that Brahmam" "This soul is Brahmam" If one meditates on the meaning of such great words, one will have the ...

Indian spirituality: law of nature

How beautiful is God's creation.  Just experience it. If the regulation of nature is violated, the end result will be the opposite.  I f you cross against the law of nature, you will have to go through the punishment of nature.  We depend upon nature's blessings to love, serve, know and experience.  Life is like a fountain flowing effortlessly according to the laws of nature.  If we work in the silence of solitude, we will realize that this I is attached to everything and affects us.  Life is to enjoy and experience the splendor of each and every natural resource, without considering anything as mine. Even if we think that it is mine on the practical level, nothing is ours on the transcendental level.

What is the real solution to life's problems?

How  beautiful is the  creation? Seas churning, Rushing rivers, Crawling creatures, Flying and  playing Birds Burning balls of  fire. A  man with an  imaginative  mind  that can  comprehend everything.  The  special senses lead  man to the boundless realm of bliss,  sometimes  turning into violent expressions of hatred and rivalry,  into a  steady  flow of  ideas Resting in God's love, one is  freed from all compation, fear, anger, tresspass,  sadness  through listening meditation practice,  when the  mind wanders  steadily  in the  higher realm, all  problems cease.
