[pensamiento-del-dia:783] El reino de Dios sin Dios

Martes, 29 de junio del 2010

PENSAMIENTO DEL DÍA: El reino de Dios sin Dios
 
Enviado desde  Wellington, Nueva Zelanda.
 

La sociedad moderna de hoy en día esta tratando a través del avance de la ciencia de tener el reino de Dios sin Dios. Este es el mismo intento que fue hecho hace tiempo por el poderoso demonio, Ravana, que construyo una ciudad hecha de oro en su capital de Lanka y que raptó a Sita para satisfacer sus deseos lujuriosos. Pero no fue capaz de satisfacer sus deseos lujuriosos y fue matado por el Señor Rama. 

La presente sociedad de hoy en día es de la misma mentalidad. Ellos desean todo el disfrute pero no desean a Dios. Desean placer sexual sin ninguna restricción. Y si un bebe viene, lo matan ignorando su acto atroz de un asesinato con el termino "extirpación de un tejido". Tal sociedad generalmente sufre las reacciones kármicas por su flagrante violación de las  leyes de Dios. El maestro espiritual genuino puede guiar a tal sociedad a como volverse completamente libre de todo el sufrimiento y vivir en una paz  perfecta, prospera y feliz, si solamente toman su consejo. Pero si no desean escuchar al maestro espiritual genuino, ¿Qué se puede hacer?

RESPUESTAS DE ACUERDO A LA VERSIÓN VÉDICA:

Pregunta: ¿Es la muerte pre-decidida por Dios?
 

Deseo saber sobre la muerte. ¿Es la muerte pre-decidida por Dios? Si alguien muere debido a un accidente, ¿fue esto decidido por Dios o no? 

Rahul

Respuesta: La muerte es determinada por el karma
 

El momento y manera en que alguien deja su cuerpo son determinados  por su karma. En otras palabras esto es determinado por sus previas y/o presentes acciones piadosas y pecaminosas. Sin embargo, para un devoto puro del Señor Sri Krishna es diferente. Porque el devoto puro está completamente absorto en el servicio devocional al Señor, él no está más tiempo bajo la influencia de la energía material y la ley del karma. El devoto puro esta completamente protegido por la energía espiritual del Señor. Por lo tanto su momento y manera de partir son directamente orquestadas por Krishna en una correspondencia amorosa con el servicio amoroso y puro del devoto al Señor.

Nouvelle du Jour.

Bhagavad-gita
Chapitre 4 - Verset 7

yada yada hi dharmasya
glanir bhavati bharata
abhyutthanam adharmasya
tadatmanam srjamy aham

TRADUCTION

Chaque fois qu'en quelque endroit de l'univers, la spiritualité voit un déclin, et que s'élève l'irréligion, ô descendant de Bharata, Je descends en personne.

TENEUR ET PORTEE

Un des mots importants de ce verset est le mot srjami. Il ne peut ici avoir le sens de "création", qu'on lui connaît généralement, puisque, selon le verset précédent, ni la Forme, ni le Corps de Dieu n'ont été créés: toutes les Formes sous lesquelles Il apparaît sont éternelles. Le mot srjami signifie donc que le Seigneur Se manifeste tel qu'Il est. Bien que d'ordinaire, Il apparaisse à des périodes déterminées (une fois dans chaque jour de Brahma, sous le règne du huitième Manu, dans le vingt-huitième maha-yuga, à la fin du dvapara-yuga), cette règle ne Le contraint pas, Il reste entièrement libre d'agir à Son gré. Il vient donc, de par Sa propre volonté, chaque fois que l'irréligion prédomine et que la vraie religion disparaît. Les principes de la spiritualité sont contenus dans les Vedas, et l'on se dégrade au rang des impies dès qu'on néglige de les suivre. Le Srimad-Bhagavatam enseigne que ces principes sont les lois de Dieu. Dieu seul peut créer une religion. C'est donc Lui qui, originellement, énonça les Vedas, dans le coeur de Brahma, le premier être créé. Les principes du dharma, de la vraie religion, sont les instructions directes de la Personne Suprême, et on les retrouve d'un bout à l'autre de la Bhagavad-gita. Les Vedas ont pour but d'établir ces principes sous les directives du Seigneur Suprême, lequel, à la fin de la Bhagavad-gita, affirme que le sommet de la spiritualité est de s'abandonner à Lui seul. Les principes védiques nous conduisent donc vers cet objectif ultime qu'est l'abandon total à Dieu. Or, chaque fois que des hommes de nature démoniaque nuisent à ces principes, le Seigneur apparaît. Buddha, par exemple, nous explique le Srimad-Bhagavatam, est un avatara. Il vint à une époque où le matérialisme ayant envahi la Terre, les athées prétendaient suivre les Vedas pour justifier leurs actes pervers: sous le nom de sacrifices, ils abattaient d'innocentes bêtes, sans tenir compte des restrictions très sévères que stipulent les Vedas, concernant les sacrifices animaux. Buddha vint pour mettre fin à ces massacres inutiles et instituer les principes de la non-violence. Tout avatara a donc une mission particulière à remplir, mission décrite dans les Ecritures révélées; nul ne peut être considéré comme un avatara s'il ne répond pas à l'annonce de ces Ecrits.

Certains affirment que le Seigneur n'apparaît qu'en Inde: ce n'est en aucun cas vérifié. Il peut Se manifester là où Il désire et quand Il le désire. Lorsqu'Il vient, sous une forme ou sous une autre, Il donne aux hommes autant de connaissance spirituelle qu'ils peuvent en assimiler selon le lieu et les circonstances où ils se trouvent. Mais la mission de tous les avataras demeure la même: conduire l'humanité à la conscience de Dieu et au respect des principes spirituels. Krsna descend parfois personnellement; d'autres fois, Il envoie Son représentant, qui peut être Son fils, Son serviteur, ou Lui même sous une forme déguisée. Les principes de la Bhagavad-gita, principes donnés à Arjuna parce qu'il était plus élevé spirituellement que la plupart de ses contemporains, s'adressent également à tous les hommes dont la conscience spirituelle est développée. Deux et deux font quatre: c'est là une vérité admise aussi bien par l'écolier que par le mathématicien. Mais le calcul élémentaire n'en diffère pas moins des mathématiques savantes. De même, les principes qu'enseignent les différents avatars sont toujours identiques, mais selon les circonstances, ils prennent une forme parfois simplifiée, parfois élaborée. Comme on le verra plus loin, les principes spirituels supérieurs ne deviennent accessibles qu'à partir du moment où l'on accepte le varnasrama-dharma. La mission des avataras est toujours de raviver en chacun la conscience de Krsna, laquelle, bien que toujours présente, devient parfois non manifestée.

Devadeva Mirel, Alachua, USA: Simple Cooking, Good Eating

Yesterday was my little Petunia’s birthday and it also marked the return of my neighbors from their trip to the Motherland–England. To honor the daughter and make the lives of jet lagged friends a little easier, we had an intimate gathering of 7 wild kids, four adults, dinner and cake.

Countertops go in tomorrow so all I have to work on is a sheet of pressure treated plywood. No faucets yet in the kitchen. Still, it is a thousand times better than what was previously in place. And that is an understatement. Nevertheless, kitchen stuff is still packed up. I purchased an Oster stick blender at Target Saturday for 20 bucks because I *really* wanted to make tomato soup (t’is the season!). Bought lots of veggies at Ward’s and even picked up some scary real looking fake shrimp from the local health food shop (more on that later).

Our fridges were full, my tofu pressed and stick blender unboxed and washed. I had a menu and a plan. The only thing I didn’t have was a bevy of spices. No matter. Simple cooking, good eating was the theme and I definitely pulled it off.

The Menu:

Braised Artichokes (vegan and butter versions)
Fresh Tomato Soup (vegan)
Vegetable Fried Rice with Tofu & Scary Real Looking Mock Shrimp (vegan)
Salad of Romaine Hearts & Red Leaf Lettuce w/Roasted Pears and Beets dressed in a Vinaigrette (vegan)
Chocolate Cake (vegan)

The cake was, as my daughter said, “from a factory.” Or, more accurately, from a local baker who happens to live about three blocks from us. Without countertops, I refuse to bake. Despite my intense craving for fresh bread.

Although I don’t have recipes to share since I was just kind of cooking on the fly, I will let you in on the simple ingredients that went a long way, allowing me to create a wonderful meal of varied flavors and textures while using the same basic spices and herbs over and over again. I do think the intense heat of my wonderfully majestic Fivestar Ranges helps a bit–I couldn’t have stir fried without it.

So, let me break it down for you….

Braised Artichokes

Vegan version was made with olive oil. Butter version made with…butter. Added a splash of balsamic to the vegan, along with a splash of Bragg’s. Other than that, straight forward salt, pepper, hing, paprika and a handful of fresh herbs (basil, dill, flat parsley). At the end, before serving, I added a generous amount of freshly squeezed lime juice to the sauce. Delicious.

Fresh Tomato Soup

I would have loved for this soup not to be vegan–the things I do for friendship! A chunk of butter and a splash of cream would have made my growing baby in my tummy happy. But to be honest, this soup rocked and I can’t stop eating it despite my gut feeling like it is going to split open and baby is going to slosh out. Okay, gross.

Soup was simple. Lots of big fat fresh tomatoes, red potatoes, water (duh), salt (much), pepper, hing, a spoonful of sugar and a dash of Braggs. After it was all cooked and blended I added lots of fresh herbs from our garden–oregano, basil, flat parsley, dill. See, I don’t care what herbs they are, just throw them i the pot and the effect is awesomeness.

Vegetable Fried Rice with Tofu & Scary Real Looking Mock Shrimp

I didn’t eat any of this the night of the dinner but plated some leftovers today and let me tell you, so good. The tofu. Mmmm, the tofu. I pressed the tofu, marinated for a few hours in balsamic and Braggs and then pan fried in a super hot cast iron skillet with a scant amount of oil. Smoky bliss.

The broccoli, celery, red pepper, mock shrimp and bean sprouts were stir fried at the highest heat I could muster and then tossed with the tofu and rice. The only spicing was fresh curry leaf (lots), pepper, hing, paprika, salt, Braggs, balsamic. That’s it. Are you starting to notice a trend?

Salad of Romaine Hearts & Red Leaf Lettuce w/Roasted Pears and Beets dressed in a Vinaigrette

Pears and beets were pan roasted (separately to avoid color bleeding) and then sprinkled with turbinado and splashed with balsamic and Braggs. Dressing was 1/2 balsamic vinegar, 1/4 olive oil, 1/4 flax oil, salt, black pepper, hing and italian seasoning. Simply good

Because I varied the produce from dish to dish and the cooking methods were also varied, I don’t think my guests had a clue that the same spices and herbs were used to flavor each preparation over and over and over again. I wanted to share the repetitive details of the menu with you to inspire your own table of colorful, healthy dishes. And notice that not a single preparation relied on the overpowering, lingering taste of onion or garlic.

Madhava Ghosh dasa, New Vrndavan, USA: “Out of Metropolis” by Lynn Emanuel

We’re headed for empty-headedness,
the featureless amnesias of Idaho, Nebraska, Nevada,
states rich only in vowel sounds and alliteration.
We’re taking the train so we can see into the heart
of the heart of America framed in the windows’ cool
oblongs of light. We want cottages, farmhouses
with peaked roofs leashed by wood smoke to the clouds;
we want the golden broth of sunlight ladled over
ponds and meadows. We’ve never seen a meadow.
Now, we want to wade into one—up to our chins in the grassy
welter—the long reach of our vision grabbing up great
handfuls and armloads of scenery at the clouds’
white sale, at the bargain basement giveaway
of clods and scat and cow pies. We want to feel half
of America to the left of us and half to the right, ourselves
like a spine dividing the book in two, ourselves holding
the whole great story together.

Then, suddenly, the train pulls into the station,
and the scenery begins to creep forward—the ramshackle shapes
of Main Street, a Chevy dozing at a ribbon of curb, and here is a hound
and a trolley, the street lights on their long stems, here is the little park
and the park stuff: bum on a bench, deciduous trees, a woman upholstered
in a red dress, the bus out of town sunk to its chromium bumper in shadows.
The noise of a train gathers momentum and disappears into the distance,
and there is a name strolling across the landscape in the crisply voluminous
script of the title page, as though it were a signature on the contract, as though
it were the author of this story.
