STAY TUNED

TEDex-An organisation for excellence organised a national symposium on DEVOTE at Hotel Le Meridien, Coimbatore on 6th April 2013. Sri Balarishi delivered a lecture on STAY TUNED. Here are some excerpts from her lecture.

What is devotion??

Devotion is total submission either to God or a particular cause.

But these days as there are part time job and part time business so many people look devotion also as a part time affair. Because they think devotion is something religious and it might not let them carry out their day to day responsibilities. If devotion is going to be your state of mind then it's no more a barrier or hindrance to carry out your day to day activity, your business or your family  and what not ?

If you do something with intense devotion, even your day to day activities will blossom with fragrance of satisfaction. Whatever you do with awareness is a meditation. Whatever you do with devotion is also a meditation.

Devotion and staying tuned are not two different attributes. They are very well connected to each other. They are accommodative with each other. All the television channels ask you to stay tuned. They want you to stay tune throughout the day, throughout the month, throughout the year.

So life is also a live transmission.

You would have read and heard about rishis and siddhas. Now what make them rishis and siddhas ? They were completely in tune with the nature. They were in tune with the universe. They could receive whatever was transmitted to them by higher source of energy which we may call God or nature or whatever.

Now coming back to the example of television, just imagine a day where you sit and watch a particular programme. Either your picture is not clear, the sound is not clear or both are not clear. You feel very disturbed. What you do is immediately you rush up to your neighbor to check whether his TV is perfect. Once you come to know his picture is perfect you would get even more disturbed.

For sure you know now that the particular channel is not manipulating its transmission to you alone. It shows there is something wrong in the instrument you have. Similarly when a higher source of energy transmits something and there is a problem in your end either your body or mind has some problem , it has to be set right so that you can stay tuned .

Now all yoga meditation prayer all these are some practices which will help you to stay tuned with your inner self. Throughout the world we see  lots of unrest and calamities ,, All these happens because in one way  or the other people  have diluted the strength of the inner nature and this have created so much of frustration  in mood, in vibration, and in attitude towards each other. Staying tuned with yourself  is very important in life.
