Experience of the Atma Tattva

 Hi friends,

Radhekrishna

We woke up today ( 19/08/2021) with heavy and serious discussion about our future etc. Nothing seemed to be very exciting. It looked all dull. There seemed to be no friends or no happiness coming our way. So boring it was all.

Then suddenly at about 9 a.m. our neighbour Mr Saravanan came home. He wanted our help to recharge his phone. He has two sons. They are twins by name Rana and Dhira. Sweet kids. He got his phone recharged and left quickly. Not much discussion. Not much speech from either side.

BUT..

I realized that his arrival brought great happiness to my mind. I had temporarily forgotten about all the troubles of the mind. His coming had given me so much positive thought that I continued to be happy till late in the afternoon ( Now it is 2 pm)

Why this sudden happiness? Why this absence of sorrow? Was Mr Saravanan verily the Lord Saravanan himself?

So many questions.

Then I realised that this was the case whenever I met any person whom I knew indirectly and with whom I had no great previous meeting. Why so?

It is because while meeting such a person my brain does not immediately classify him as good or bad. I have an open mind. When my mind is open I see him only as the manifestation of My Atma. My atma is of the form of bliss and so seeing myself I am delighted. ( Aananda Swarupa)

Okay.. I quickly realise that Mr Saravanan has come down for some personal work and he may not even see or smile at me the next time we meet on the staircase. But the happiness of seeing myself has taken its effect and I can hold on to it for a great part of the day.

This is also like when my colleague brought home an old photograph taken in the office about 10 years back. Immediately I rushed to find myself on this picture. The moment I see myself on the photo I blush. I am so happy. This is because Bliss is My nature. Seeing myself is the happiest thing in life. 

Here I must add the following:

1. This feeling of happiness happens every time we see on picture on in person some people with whom we have had the feeling of seeing the myself, the Atman.  Whenever we see them again the same feeling erupts with lots of joy. Tomorrow they may grow old. Lots of things may change but the I sense will prevail and the happiness will flow every time we see them in person or on picture.

2. It is my feeling that all mothers have similar feelings for their sons and daughters. Especially so for moms with single children. In the case of multiple children the last child gives the mother great happiness. 

Hope you enjoyed reading...
