New Year Resolution

   Years pass by; every new year we tend to make resolves, and, as soon as we tend to make resolves and promises, so soon we forget all of them and return to the same old pattern of life. Why this complacency? Is this written in our genes, or is it simply due to the pattern already set to our life and destiny? This aspect of life, destiny fate, preordained set-up, needs a careful consideration. When we arrived on this earth from a distant star like chitta, Ardra or punarvasu- a stellar dust particle, a photon, the package deal was already there, and when it reaches the earth and gets embedded in soil, water, and other elements it takes a life-form. This protozoa, the embedded soul with all its genetic codes, RNA, DNA, chains of sequences in a capsule of protein cell-covered amino acids, vitamins, enzymes, etc will start the action of creation, procreation, and run its course. Rest is all just a repetition of the memory track and routine life!

   However, what is surprising is the nature of the stay-put the jiva enjoys or suffers once it gets embodied here on earth. Some of them run a full course, and many a jivas get cut-short of its journey and some are disconnected. The height of consciousness attained during its tenure is all the more important. Some jivas may attain to the highest level of sahasrar prajnya and get their journeys goal attained; such jivas will never enter earth again. Many others may swing up and down and display the mental power. Men may get laurels and world-wide acclaims, awards and all such attainments are considered simply as pollutants of the pure and pristine jivatman! Only the knowledge of the Self is of any use in this journey of life to attain to its goal of sahasrar prajnya, unity consciousness or 'Enlightenment'.    

   It is in a sense, a Hydrogen particle that reaches the earth get embedded in Oxygen and Carbon to create a mess, a mesh, of carbohydrates, hydrocarbons, and all paraphernalia of Biotic life. It is ultimately, this carbon that makes a mess of life. once this carbon is discarded, oxygen too has to be discarded since its double role of oxidation and reduction process create a mess in life of the jiva. Unless this Hydrogen particle that got embedded in a mesh is resolved and released by yoga the jiva will have no chance of redemption. This in brief is the science, spirituality and the yoga of life. 

Then, what is our new year resolution? Is it to revel in sensuous life and live in a fantasy or toe get redeemed from this mrutyulok? The choice is not even there since the embedded jiva comes in a package tour! OMG!!
