Do Good, the soul will look after itself
Soul is an abstract matter, there are many interpretations and many schools of thought. But, what we do know a little about, and can exercise some control over, is our mind (manas)
Our upper mind, ‘antehkaran’ is the link between our mind and it’s discerning faculty (bibek buddhi) and the soul (atma). We do have the free will to elevate our level of thinking, to pour
the oil of love and compassion into our ‘antehkaran’.
If we channel our energy into positive activities (see below), the ‘soul’ will look after itself.
The vital point is that we, at least, focus on what is in our control (limited free will is provided by God) and not waste our energy on things beyond the mortal comprehension.
Our soul (atma) is part of the Universal Soul (Parmatma). Just as it’s beyond our intellect to comprehend Patmatma, so it is to truly understand the soul.
Earn honestly, share your earnings with others, particularly the needy, and revere Parmatma, our atma will look after itself.
Positive Energy Deployment
Lust, rage, greed, attachment, ego (Kaam, krodh, lobh, moh, ahankaar) are manifestations of negative use of energy. The same energy when channelled positively transforms as follows:
Lust (Kaam) into Meditation (Naam Ras)
Outcome: Bliss (Anand)
Rage (Krodh) into Tolerance (Dheeraj, Veer Ras)
Outcome: Mercy, Kindness (Daya)
Greed (Lobh) into Contentment (Sabar)
Outcome: Virtuous Lifestyle (Adarshik Jeevan)
Attachment (Moh) into Knowledge Wisdom (Gian)
Outcome: Detachment from worldly illusions (Maya)
Ego (Ahankar) into Charity, Service (Seva)
OUTCOME: Contentment, Humility, Nimrara.
God Bless
