Satisfaction

Each human life is a song. A seeker sings a new song every day. He sings and he discovers. What does he discover? He discovers a body full of enthusiasm, a vital full of determination, a mind full of peace, a heart full of bliss and, finally, a life full of satisfaction.

Satisfaction is needed in the animal life, the human life and the divine life. But the satisfaction that we get in the animal life is not true satisfaction. In the human life also we do not get true satisfaction. Only in the divine life do we get true satisfaction.

In the animal life we try to get satisfaction through destruction. In the human life we try to acquire satisfaction through possession. In the divine life we try to receive satisfaction from illumination. Through destruction the satisfaction that we get is not and cannot be the real satisfaction. Through possession the satisfaction that we get is not and cannot be the real satisfaction. Through illumination the satisfaction that we get is undoubtedly the true satisfaction.

We are all seekers here; we pray and meditate. Inside our prayer, inside our meditation, we always try to see the face of satisfaction. When we pray, we try to go up and achieve satisfaction. When we meditate, we try to bring Light and Delight to the fore from within ourselves, and enjoy satisfaction here inside our body, vital, mind and heart. When we pray, we try and cry to receive something from above so that our thirst can be quenched. When we meditate, we invoke our own higher realities to manifest in and through us.

Meditation is preceded by concentration and followed by contemplation. Concentration, meditation and contemplation go together. Concentration is the speed, meditation is the confidence and contemplation is the victory. We can safely say that concentration has and is the deer-speed, meditation has and is the elephant-confidence and contemplation has and is the lion-victory.

It is always advisable for us to have speed, for we have to value the goal. The goal is not stationary. Today's goal will be tomorrow's starting point. We are in the process of going toward an ever-transcending, ever-illumining and ever-fulfilling goal. We have to pay all attention to our speed if we want to make satisfactory progress. Today's goal will be tomorrow's starting point on our eternal inner journey toward supreme satisfaction. - Sri Chinmoy








Satisfactie



Fiecare viață umană este un cantec. Un cautator canta in fiecare zi un cantec nou. El canta si desopera. Ce descopera? El descopera un corp plin de entuziasm, un vital plin de determinare, o minte plina de pace, o inima plina de beatitudine si in final o viață plina de satisfactie.

Satisfactia este necesara in viață animala, in viață umana si in viață divina. Satisfactia pe care o obtinem in viață animala nu este adevarata satisfactie. In viața umana de asemenea nu obtinem adevarata satisfactie. Doar in viața divina primim adevarata satisfactie.

In viață animala incercam sa obtinem satisfactie prin distrugere. In viață umana incercam sa obtinem satisfactie prin posesie. In viață divina incercam sa primim satisfactie prin iluminare. Prin distrugere satisfactia pe care o obtinem nu este si nu poate fi adevarata satisfactie. Prin posesie satisfactia pe care o obtinem nu este si nu poate fi adevarata satisfactie. Prin iluminare satisfactia pe care o primim este fara indoiala adevarata satisfactie.

Noi toti suntem cautatori aici; ne rugam si meditam. In interiorul rugaciunilor noastre si al meditatiilor noastre, intotdeauna incercam sa vedem fata satisfactiei. Atunci cand ne rugam incercam sa urcam si sa obtinem satisfactie. Atunci cand meditam aducem Lumina si Încantarea la suprafata din interiorul nostru si ne bucuram de satisfactie in corpul, vitalul, mintea si inima noastra. Atunci cand ne rugam incercam si plangem pentru a primi ceva din înalt care sa ne potoleasca setea. Atunci cand meditam invocam propria noastra realitate inalta sa se manifeste in si prin noi.

Meditatia este precedata de concentrare si urmata de contemplare. Concentrarea, meditatia si contemplarea merg impreuna. Concentrarea este viteza. Meditatia este increderea. Contemplarea este victoria. Concentrarea are si este viteza-de-caprioara. Meditatia are si este increderea-de-elefant. Contemplarea are si este victoria-leului.
Este intotdeauna recomandat pentru noi sa avem viteza daca apreciem telul. Telul nu este static. Noi ne deplasam catre un tel care se transcende, ilumineaza si implineste mereu. Trebuie sa dam toata atentia vitezei daca vrem sa facem un progres care sa ne multumeasca. Telul de astazi va deveni punctul de start in calatoria noastra interioara eterna catre satisfactia supremă. - Sri Chinmoy
