Let all their tasks be accomplished easily and successfully.” — When we pray for people we have never met before and may never meet again, we are totally free from expectations. However, such selfless thoughts and prayers send out divine vibrations that envelop them and enhance our inner purity without binding us to each other with bonds of karma.
Here, we are using our senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch to selflessly enhance the well-being of others. This automatically increases our well-being and generates the right kind of vibrations in us. Only then, will those who can help us to accomplish our tasks successfully gravitate towards us and those who would hinder us be kept away from us. Our resolutions also become extremely strong.
When a selfless person, who is following the spiritual discipline of meditation makes a resolution, it materialises in no time. This is because we are tapping the energy of our soul which is equivalent to the strength of the cosmos itself. As soon as a selfless need is defined in the mind which is pulsating with benevolence and purity, it is fulfilled through the appropriate agencies, though we may not do anything physically to set things in motion.
As we understand the true purpose of our senses and begin to use them in this manner, we realise that every moment of our external comfort and well-being comes from other people in some way or the other. We also become conscious that every thought, feeling, word and action that we produce is being thrown into the cosmic matrix where it affects many beings in innumerable ways that we never realise. For example, when we dig up the soil in our garden or excavate a plot to build a house, we are killing and driving out so many insects, bugs, rodents and other animals from their homes.
When we cut down trees to build towns and cities, we are ruthlessly invading the territory of so many birds and other creatures that have as much as right to live on this earth as we do. Even when we walk on the road, we may be stepping on many insects and injuring or killing them. Every time we inhale or exhale, thousands of bacteria may die.
So, from the moment we get up in the morning, we become gods of misfortune and bring death to so many beings. Though we are not hurting them intentionally, we are still sowing seeds of negative karma. Then, how do we repay these karmic obligations and free ourselves from their shackles?
