Every Monday morning, I receive a Sutra (email) from Sandipani Vidyaniketan, and I thought I would share this mornings message with you all. But first, let me explain what a Sutra is.
Sūtra literally means a rope or thread that holds things together. In Hinduism the sutras form a school of Vedic study and they are used to serve and continue to act as grand treatises on various schools of Hindu Philosophy. They elaborate in succinct verse, sometimes esoteric, Hindu views of metaphysics, cosmogony, the human condition, moksha (liberation), and how to maintain a blissful, dharmic life, in a cosmic spin of karma, reincarnation and desire.
A sutra - the thread will help you weave your life blissfully and karmically into achieving moksha. When the thread becomes thicker and stonger thus becoming a rope - it shall help pull you towards God.
If you know Hindi, you can click on the text below to read it in full size:
Sukh ki aasakti mein dukh ka nimantran hai. Jahan sansaar makaan, dukaan, putra, parivar aadi ek pal ka sukh dete hain, doosre hi kshan dukh bhi dete hain.
Attachment towards happiness is an invitation to unhappiness. Temporal pleasures such as possessions, wealth, family and relatives give happiness for one moment and grief the very next moment.
- Pujya Bhaishri
