The Gardner in the mind.

A gardener sows the seed and waits... Waits for the seed to sprout. This will always happen provided there is enough water, proper soil, sufficient sunlight and air for the plant to grow. Can a gardener be impatient for the plant to grow ?? No! Every seed takes its own time to sprout. A coriander seed will sprout in a day or two. A coconut seed may take months! Gardener is aware of the requirement of every sapling he has sown. Same is the case with our mind. Every thought is a seed. The thought that comes in your mind right now will manifest sooner or later. This is called sankalpa. Every sankalpa like a seed manifest and takes its own time to manifest. Divinity know what is best for you and when to give you what you ask for, just like the gardener! Not only your actions effects your karmas, even your thought affects your karma! Sounds scary?? No need to worry. In fact this is a superb mechanism created by divinity! Let me ask you one question. Do you have a cell phone with you? I am sure that you did not have the cell phone 10 years back. But you might have always wished to have one. THAT is the seed of sankalpa. The cell phone that you are having with you right now is the manifestation of that sankalpa! Everything you do, everything you say, everything you think of is being recorded and is being manifested. That's why is said in narada bhakti sutra, Be aware of you actions, speech and feelings. Let me tell you a story; There was a little child, maybe 2 year old. It had learn't only one word "MAA" It would call everything MAA... Be it his dad or a wall clock or his toy. Once it happened that the child was playing in the kitchen near the fire. The kid lost the balance and was about to fall in the fire when the kid shouted "MAAAAAA....." His mom came running and saved the kid from falling into the fire. Then the kid realized that if he shouted MAA.., his mom would come running near him. So after sometime the kid shouted "MAA..." His mom did not appear! He shouted again, "MAAA..." A little louder this time. Again his mom didn't turn up. The kid went to his mom with a dismay on his face. Smilingly his mom said, "Son, You can't fool your mother! I know when you are in problem and when you are making mischief!" In the same way do not think that you can fool divinity or guruji. Guruji knows that you are doing every second. When you call for help is really genuine then divinity will come to your rescue without fail, no exceptions. But if you think you can fool the divinity, then you've had it!! This talk was given by a Maharaj from Rishikesh who invited by guruji for navratri. Jai Gurudev! O.A.K.
