If I don't get established in the wisdom now , when shall I get another opportunity.----Rama (in Yogavaasistha)



************

The world as world cannot give us lasting happiness. This Rama understood. In Yogavaasishtha , Valmiki gives a word picture of the Core of our being. 

*********

Yagavaasishtha

Rama-----All hopes of men are destroyed by Time. Time overpowers everything ......It is indestructible and has insatiable appetite for everything. Nothing high or low exists which the Time does not destroy...Ones own mind has become ones own enemy... Youth is fading. Nobody is happy to see others prosperous. Time destroys everything...It's individual manifestation is egotism. Only who is free from egotism is happy. Hero is not the one who wins the battle but the one who conquers the mind and senses. If I don't get established in the wisdom now , when shall I get another opportunity. Because when indulgence takes over , lifetimes are used for it...I am free yet I am not free.... What is that state where there is no grief ...How can the mind be freed from lust and how to look upon the world as the Self. I shall fast unto death if you do not reply..."

Valmiki----If in our heart the lofty wisdom of Rama does not touch, we become the losers

Papa could raise himself from individual level to universal level in a span of 2 years....

We may be feeling we are ardent etc but in our interactions are we able to go a little higher level from the individual level

Yogavaasishtha

Vishwamitra------(to Rama) Shuka too was passing through the same state of mind. He asked his father about the Source of all diversity . Father Vedavyasa sent him to Janaka. Shuka was unaffected by palatial entertainment. Janaka told .....Mental modifications cause diversity and when they cease diversity ceases....


**********

Vasistha----Self effort is action, thought or speech which is in accordance with the instructions of a holy man or with the scripture.... Knowing life is ebbing away  every moment, one must not waste time in sense pleasures
