Devotion Out Of Fear Is Fine

Ramani, we need Five hours to travel both ways, take one hour for darshan in Special Entrance, leave a buffer of an hour and we should be back by

One PM( we left Chennai by 6 AM)

I told him not to set a time frame to the One who sets Time for Every One, that too, to Lord Venkateswara.

He laughed off saying that I am a Superstitious Fool.

We reached Tirupati, entered the Special Entrance, queue,into the Single lane fenced by iron barrier, from where one can not come back before the darshan is over.

We were made to wait for Seventeen Hours to have the darshan .

Imagine my plight as my daughter refused to get down from my Hips and I had to attend to her calls of Nature, demand for Food!

From that day I stopped even discussing the plans.

As I remarked in one of my Posts, I leave for visiting Tempe,s with no fixed Plan and cover them as I go by and I have been Blessed with immediate and Easy darshan of the Deity, wherever I go.

It was against this background my son told me that I follow Religious Rites, believe In God,being Spiritual because of Fear.

I do not know.

I Never Get Freed AdiSankaracharya Nirvana Shatakam

Bondage, be it at the Transient or the Transcendental Level, needs two entities.

One never gets Bonded or bonded to when only he Is Present.

In Indian Philosophy even yearning for Realization causes Bondage!

The fruit that accrues of it is the eternal desire to be Free,

So to be a fully Liberated Soul, one is not to yearn for Realization , it as a Goal.

The goal is to be that of simply knowing One's True Nature and not anything else.

This is true Moksha or Nirvana.

Unlike Buddhism the Nirvana is not Nihilistic,One Becomes a part of the Whole .

The Part can not rejoice having become one for it has been the Whole all the while and the impression of being a Part is a temporary Illusive Phenomena,necessitated by Ignorance, impelled by Karma Vaasana,Remnants of the results of actions performed .physically and mentally.

Upon this Realization , verily there is No need for Freedom nor is there One really.
