Unclutching is the source of unending excitement – nithyananda spurana*. Mantra - Literally means that which shows the way. Sacred syllables that have a powerful positive vibrational effect. nithyananda spurana - Eternal flowering of bliss. The Karmic Cycle Can Be Broken If we are able to truly manage our mind with the understanding that it is our mind that connects thoughts to form shafts of pain and pleasure and if we stay unclutched, we can stay in what Buddha calls mindfulness. We can stay in awareness and in the present moment. It is our thought process that constantly takes us from past to future and back again and does not allow us to rest in the present moment. Understand this clearly, when we are in the present moment we can stay out of trouble without fear and desire.

We can act without fear and desire. You may ask how. How can I be motivated to do something if I do not desire it? There is no need for motivation. Do you think that it is motivation that makes you breathe or digest your food? It is the intelligence of the energy that is within and without us that makes it possible for us to live and grow. We live not because of us but in spite of us. When we act without attachment, there is no consequence to our actions, there is no karma arising from our actions. What is Karma? There is a very beautiful verse in the Isa Vasya Upanishad* : Om poornamadah poornamidam Poornaat poornamudachyate Poornasya poornamaadaaya Poornamevaavashishyate From the Whole came the Whole.

If you remove the Whole from the Whole, only the Whole remains. By very nature we seek the Wholeness. By very nature we seek fulfillment in anything we do. Whether it is eating, drinking, jumping, reading, talking, sleeping, or meditating, in any activity that we engage, our being yearns to completely experience the activity and be fully involved in it. Are we fully conscious of every action we engage in? Are we aware every moment of our life? A small story: A man was travelling by cab to the airport. The cab driver was driving very fast even Isa Vasya Upanishad - One of the major and oldest vedic scriptures.
