body are not harmful, but the ones caused by the mind and speech, are harmful. So if you want happiness, you should stop these all together. Wherever you have thrown 'stones', vibrations are bound to occur. Where one has created immense vibrations, a life of infernal suffering awaits him in hell. He will endure suffering there, unload the vibrations, become light and return to the human form. Accumulation of mild vibrations leads one to a celestial life. It is not the ocean that troubles us, but the vibrations we create by throwing stones in it. The ocean is calm if left alone and undisturbed but whenever disturbance is created, the resulting vibrations create a problem.
The Lord has said that for not even a passing moment have you become the Self. The entire time has been spent creating vibrations. You create waves and so do others, when that happens you can neither swim, nor can you drown.
Vibrations Of Worldly Life The ocean of worldly life is an ocean of subatomic particles (parmanoos). When these subatomic particles vibrate they create waves, which crash and collide with other particles. The collision sends out more vibrations and more waves are created and eventually give rise to a storm. The origin of all vibrations is only from the subatomic particles. If the self becomes engrossed with it, the vibrations become all the more powerful.
This world too is just like the ocean. One vibration will give rise to numerous other vibrations. The whole world has arisen out of these echoes. Echoes of every kind are real and are heard in rhythm.
If you stick your head in a well and shout, 'You are a thief', the well echoes back to you, 'You are a thief'. If you shout, 'You are a king', it will echo back, *You are a king'. Whatever you shout in the well, will echo back exactly as you said it. That is how the world is. It is like a well, whatever you throw at it, it will throw back at you. The law is : Action and reaction are equal and opposite. Therefore, do unto others, as you would want done to yourself. I am making you aware of the consequences you will have to endure but you have the power over what kind of vibrations you create. So create the echoes that suit you.
If you do not throw a stone to begin with, no vibrations will arise within you and there will be no ensuing waves in the other person. But what can you do? Every one creates vibrations, large or small. Some will hurl small pebbles and others large rocks. Along with the vibrations there is also the ignorance of the Self. This results in even greater entanglement. Vibrations created after the attainment of the knowledge of Self are inconsequential. But the Lord has said not to create vibrations and yet people cannot refrain from doing so. Vibrations of the
Vibrations of the body do not cause bondage for next life. It is the vibrations caused by the mind and speech that cause bondage. The Lord has called these the vibrations of samrambha (the first initiation, start of an act, thought), samarambha (involvement of the decision making process and vocalization of the decision) and arambha (the visible action). The flash of the first vibration in the mind is samrambha e.g.it is samrambha when you first think about going to Churchgate. Then you plan and make a definite decision to go there (this is equivalent to sowing the seed of a karma for next life, and this is called samarambha. And when that decision is visible in action, pulled by the waves of the vibrations created, it is called arambha. Now how can you solve this puzzle?
Just observe the vibrations generated by the mind when it has been disrespected or slighted. This is applicable to the self as well as the other person. The vibrations resulting from abhorrence and disrespect are very intense in a tyagi (person
