So true! GOOD FEELINGS are the outcome of the shift in the perception surviving to thriving mentality. A good for all, is a good for all seasons. The attempt to perceive, naturally leads to apply all the NAVARASA taught by the ancient Rishis. After being exposed to Vedic knowledge, I now see life as a magical unfolding, not bound by a need for control or a source of anxiety. Fly all over the space in unlimited time in all the three dimensions on the earth. The VID attempts to deliver self-improvement through a shift in perception, based on how a person views themselves and their world. A group of people called rishis divinely received the Vedas. A rishi is considered a highly developed human.
* MUṆḌAKA-UPANIṢAD (**मुडकोपिनषद्**)* In this Upanishad, there is a conversation between the student, *Saunaka* and sage *Angiras*. The sage talks about the distinction between higher and lower knowledge, the nature of Consciousness, and the qualities required to know Absolute Consciousness. *यथोर्णनाभिः* *सृजते* *गृह्णते* *च* *यथा* *पृथिव्यामोषधयः* *संभवन्ति* *।* *यथा* *सतः* *पुरुषात्केशलोमानि* *तथाऽक्षरात्संभवतीह* *विश्वम्* *॥**१.१.७ <https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/mundaka-upanishad-shankara-bhashya/d/doc145081.html>* *॥* Just as the spider creates and withdraws (its web), just as trees are born on the earth, just as hairs on the head, and the body (grow) from a living person, in the same manner, the universe is born here out of Brahman (God/Consciousness.)॥1.1.7॥ This mantra states that we are the problem and the solution. Your lifestyle is something that you have created. All the good and all the not-so-good. Knowing that you are the creator of your reality empowers you to know you do influence the outcomes. Therefore, you can ignite change for the better. Know and acknowledge you are an agent of change. You aren’t a victim of circumstance. And if you think and behave in this way, you can change it. Any misplaced steps in the past, must be redone in the right directions. * द्वा* *सुपर्णा* *सयुजा* *सखाया* *समानं* *वृक्षं* *परिषस्वजाते* *।* *तयोरन्यः* *पिप्पलं* *स्वाद्वत्त्यनश्नन्नन्यो* *अभिचाकशीति* *॥**३.१.१ <https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/mundaka-upanishad-shankara-bhashya/d/doc145122.html>* *॥* Two birds with beautiful wings, which are close friends, cling to the same tree. Of them, one eats the fruits with relish. The other looks on without eating. ॥ 3.1.1॥In this world, there are only yes and no an many are placing themselves, thinking safe, under the all-right. All right is neither yes nor NO. Whatever one does must ne done, in an honest focus; you hate GOD please do; but do it after full conviction; and change back, if you get an answer where, what appeared once ass right, does appear now as wrong. The Paramatma Bird is watching the Jeevatma bird eating the fruition of action, trying to cast the appropriate rewards. Atheism, the atheist Suo-motto, assumes, as denying everything. If denial were to be atheism, then the best atheist is the child. Keep on changing the activities; running away from pillar to post; tiring the adults without any energy; and dyeing any act of aggression demanded. The verse of Veda says that Bhagavan is waiting ; hE saw all the feelings and expecting one to go close to HIM. *नायमात्मा* *प्रवचनेन* *लभ्यो* *न* *मेधया* *न* *बहुना* *श्रुतेन* *।* *यमेवैष* *वृणुते* *तेन* *लभ्यस्तस्यैष* *आत्मा* *विवृणुते* *तनूं* *स्वाम्* *॥**३.१.२ <https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/mundaka-upanishad-shankara-bhashya/d/doc145135.html>* *॥* *Being deluded (and) completely immersed in the very same body, a person grieves helplessly. When one sees the other, the adored Lord, (and) His glory as (one’s own), (one becomes) free from grief. **॥* *3.1.2**॥* You have more similarities with the annoying people in your life than differences. Wanting others to do as you desire can distort the way you see them. Every person, including your parents, has a history. That is bound up in a messy hodgepodge of mental scares and repressed emotions. People react the way they do, sometimes out of these dark places. Most of the things that others do are none of our business. The cause of the sadness is the effective desire as in Vedas but Buddhism says that that was it. And Ambedkar said that Brahminism was the cause of the casteism; and the Brahmins who usurped the non-brahmin food of Cows meat, in the ancient times, had to withdraw, because of the Buddhism; and that was the write up that one may read, in many West Bengal writers’ books. And the said Brahmins were not aggrieved; but one who blamed the brahmins were; grief arises नायमात्मा प्रवचनेन लभ्यो न मेधया न बहुना श्रुतेन ।NA AYAM ATMA pravachanena//labyo na MEDHAYA// Na bahuna sruthena// All the sufferings had been in you, created by yourself and so cry over , because of your body bad feelings. सत्यमेव जयते नानृतं सत्येन पन्था विततो देवयानः । येनाक्रमन्त्यृषयो ह्याप्तकामा यत्र तत् सत्यस्य परमं निधानम् ॥३.१.६ <https://upanishads.org.in/upanishads/4/3/1/6>॥ SATYAMEVAA JAYATE//NA NRUTHAM SATENA PANTAVITATO DEVAYANA:// TRUTH WINS AND NOT THE (U)NTRUTH. //DEVAYANA IS A GOOD PATH AND THE FEELINGS; YATRA TAT SATYASYA PARAMAM NIDHANAM//HAYAPTA KAMA://YENA AKRAMANTUSHAYO// DEVOTEES DOING THE RIGHT FEELINGS, LEAVING THE GREED OF DESIRE , REACH THE GOOD PATH DEVAYANA: WHICH IS SATYAM THE TRUTH THE BRAHMAM. *KAṬHA-UPANIṢAD (**कठोपिनषद्**)* The student, *Naciketas* approaches Yama, the Lord of Death, to learn about Self-knowledge. उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्य वरान्निबोधत । क्शुरस्य धारा निशिता दुरत्यया दुर्गं पथस्तत्कवयो वदन्ति II१.३.१४ <https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/katha-upanishad-shankara-bhashya/d/doc145217.html> ॥ Utishatha://Jakradha://prapya varan nibodhat//kasurasya dhara//nishitha//durantyaya//durgam//patasta kavayo// Vadanti (people say) . Arise. Awake. Having approached the great ones, know (the Ātmā). The wise declare that path (of Self-knowledge) is difficult to tread, (just as) the sharp edge of a razor is difficult to tread. II 1.3.14॥ So navarasa is an important aspect of life drama to attain the Bhagavan and they render us into the great and the Good feelings.
