Immortal Talks (- Book 2)

by Shunya

Do all desires get planted on the soul from outside, or is there any such thing as a soul’s own desire? A desire to be prosperous, a desire to be happy, a desire to be free, a desire to be bounded by a contract like a marriage or a job, a desire to be spiritual, a desire to be materialistic – don’t they all sprout from external things, people and ideas? They all belong to the mind, not the soul. What, then, is a soul’s own desire? Does it always have to follow the mind it’s attached to?

‘The universe is very simple,’ told Lord Hanuman. ‘The limited mind can’t see the simple pattern running through all the complexity. When the monks finally realise how simple everything is, their minds go absolutely quiet. They can find no words to express the simplicity of the universe. They just smile. They smile like a wise man watching a group of blind men quarrelling over the identity of a strange animal

When a soul slides upon the strings of Time, it experiences the illusion of movement.

Before every horrible incident, the gods try very hard to warn the souls in different ways. Most of these warnings go in vain. Awareness is the key; if not in you, in a soul connected to you. When it comes to helping you, gods are only as powerful as awareness of your soul and that of the souls you’re connected to. It’s a continuous war between the gods and evil forces. And awareness, or lack of it, determines who wins.
