The zimmer wheel of samsara, part 1 / Samsaras rullatorhjul, del 1

English: Today starts our new article series "The zimmer wheel of samsara", written by a friend who has to remain anonymous due to the content. His alter-ego for this series will be "Geoffrey Crueger".

Part 1

"The three modes of material nature manifested in one day at home-help service."

Svenska: Idag börjar vår nya artikelserie "Samsaras rullatorhjul", skriven av en vän som måste förbli anonym pga av innehållet. Hans alter-ego för denna artikelserie kommer att vara "Geoffrey Crueger".

Del 1

"Den materiella naturens tre kvaliteter manifesterade på en och samma dag på hemtjänsten."

Sometime, somewhere in Sweden I started working for the home-help service for old people. I was to be taught and got to go together with a woman who had worked there for a long time.

Någon gång i tiden någonstans i Sverige så började jag ett jobb på hemtjänsten. Jag skulle bli upplärd och fick gå bredvid en kvinna som jobbat där länge.


Warning, angry old woman!

Eng: The first woman that we visited, she barely greeted us when we came. As soon as we got inside she started directing us and she was about to use us to the maximum degree. She had no friends and very few relatives. She was aggressive, bitter and negative.

Sve: Den första kvinnan som vi besökte hon hälsadade knappt när vi kom in. Hon började så fort vi kom innanför dörren att dirigera vad vi skulle göra och hon skulle utnyttja oss till max. Hon hade inga vänner och knappt några anhöriga. Hon var aggressiv bitter och negativ.



Eng: Later that morning we visited another old woman. She was kind and friendly. But also empty and disappointed. She told that her whole life she had invested in her enterprise. Everything was about work and career. Then when retirement came and the enterprise was sold, there was no more. She was like a living questionmark, asking the question: "What, wasn't it more than this? So, what happens now?"

Sve: Senare samma förmiddag besökte vi en annan gammal kvinna. Hon var snäll o vänlig . Men också tom och besviken. Hon berättade att hon hela sitt liv satsat på sitt företag. Och att det hela gått ut på jobb och karriär. Sedan så när pensionen kom och företaget blev sålt så blev det inte mer. Hon var som ett levande frågetecken som ställde frågan: "Vadå, blev det inte mera än såhär? Jaha vad händer nu då?"



Eng: In the afternoon that day we went to visit a lady of heart, 104 years old. She had not checked out yet. During her life this charming sweetie for a woman had been active in associations and for overall welfare. Sure, she's completely deaf but she likes to watch documentaries on TV and happily shares what she has learned and what she can distinguish. She's curious about everyone who comes to visit her. And she shares the nectar that she has reaped during the sojourn of this incarnation.

Sve: På eftermiddagen samma dag gick vi på en visit hos en hjätats dam på 104år. Hon hade inte checkat ut ännu. Under sitt liv hade denna förtjusande sötnos till kvinna varit aktiv i föreningsliv och helheternas välfärd. Visst hon är helt döv men hon gillar dokumtärer på tv o delar gärna med sig vad hon lärt sig och vad hon kan urskilja. Hon är nyfiken på alla som kommer och besöker henne. Och hon delar med sig av den nektar som hon skördat under denna inkarnations resa.



Eng: These women can to a very limited degree influence their outer circumstances now when old age is reached. They are stranded with the harvest of their lives.

They continue the relation they have had to the world into the old age and taste its fruits. One is bitter and rotten. Another is empty and tasteless while yet another is juicy and sweet of nectar.

Sve: Dessa kvinnor kan i en mycket liten grad nu när ålderdomen är nådd påverka sina yttre omständigheter. Dem är strandsatta med skörden av sina liv.

Dem fortsätter sitt förhållningsätt dem haft till världen in i ålderdomen och dem smakar dess frukter. En är bitter och föruttnad. En är tom och smaklös och En är saftig och söt av nektar.

This snake didnt like to be around my neck and tried to strangle me. This one was tame, but we have seen two poisonous cobras by now already, one in the river Yamuna and the other on the street. The villagers are very afraid of the cobras so i guess the wild ones really do bite sometimes.

Be a part or be apart

The indwelling supreme person invites you within

The inner landscape is for all to explore. You are not off limits!
He welcomes you to discover the wisdom you carry in your chest.

We are just like poor beggars with an unknown fortune heritage, desperatly insisting that our wealth is in the external when it is actually in the internal. Such is the nature of the Tama (ignorance) force, under whose influence that which is good looks bad and that which is bad looks good.

The inner journey is not an astral projection, that leaves you in confusion. It is a journey in the steady boat of purifyed intellegence. That boat is leaving from the port of Sattva Guna (the mode of goodness) and its destination is firmly determined - home. We are going home.

The more we advance on our inner sojourn, the more we will benefit the outer world.

Even though we share the earthly lanscape people tend to claim proprietorship of certain territories and exploit its resources for egotistic gain. Due to attachment to the external, the internal world becomes dark and inaccesable.
The Gold miner hopes for that day he finds the glimmering vein in the mountain. Then he will feel completness and with his magical treasure he can fully enjoy the world

We share the internal landscape aswell and the gold we mine there is the friendly faith combined with eager surrender to the personified thruth. That inner gold, which we all carry inside, can buy you eternal blissful life.

The successful external goldminer brings good tidings to his family and friends no doubt, but we know that tidings come and go.
The successful internal goldminer though, brings eternal everblooming auspiciousness to himself and everyone that crosses his path. Because the more inner gold he gives the more he gets.

The Guru and the Vedas is the indwelling Supreme Persons parental care for us

Mother Veda and the words of Sri Guru mirrors that wisdom that is concealed in our heart.
We are locked out in a dark logical world of matter but Sri Guru opens our inner eye and shows us the vedas like a map over the inner lanscape.

We need to do our part...

...because we may stare at a map for lifetimes without actually traversing the land.
We have been violently thorn apart from the divine will of the Supreme person by our envy towards Him. We do our part by throwing away that envy and invite good character by good association and in this way qualify to become a member in the family of the Supreme Person.

He invites us so intimatly in His famous song:

Bhagavad Gita 9.34
Krishna says:
Engage your mind always in thinking of Me, become My devotee, offer obeisances to Me and worship Me. Being completely absorbed in Me, surely you will come to Me.

To be a part we have to do our part. Such is the rule of love divine, free will. our part is to choose from the inner core of our heart that we want.

Krishna wants you to be a part His family.
Just as your body are born a member of your temporary family. You, the eternal soul, is by constitution a member of the eternal family of God and to awaken to that reality is the birth of the eternal soul.

What are you smearing on your body? / Vad smetar du in kroppen med?
