We discussed so far, “Akasadvayuh Vayoragnih”.
The sky was born from the Paramatman. The Sky supports the existence of all other elements of Nature and has the attribute of sound. All beings are born from the Sky and merge back into the Sky. Sky is the biggest of all elements of Nature. Sky is the basis for everything.
Those who realize that the external Sky that is of the form of Absolute also exists within our body are greatly blessed.
You should realize that whatever is outside is also inside our body. It is with the support of the Sky that man can talk, man hear others talk, man can carry out all tasks. That is why Sky should be worshipped as the Supreme. Such a worshipper will experience great bliss. Real Sky cannot be seen directly, nor can it be comprehended directly.
According to Vedic Sciences, “Ghatakasa, Matakasala”. With support, we can identify the great Sky. That means, within the heart of every being, there is a subtle sky. That is called “Dahara Akasam” (the space in the spiritual heart)
“Dahara Uttarebhyah”
One should worship the Parabrahman that is in the Dahara Akasa. Sky protects all other elements of Nature. That is how great the Sky is. Avadhoota Swamy taught King Yadu what he learned from the Sky, “There is no place that Sky does not exist. The clouds dispersed by wind cannot touch the Sky.
Similarly, the Atman (Soul) within does not mix with the body. It remains unattached. Through Sky, I learned the quality of detachment and the omnipresence of the Absolute”.
There is a proverb that says that one should rise to the height of the sky. It means that one should develop the great qualities of the Sky.
One should have a open mind and a big heart. Only then can one gain equipoise. You will feel love for all living beings. You will gain the state of equanimity in joys and sorrows. Like this, the seeker who learns these great qualities from Sky will become the best among seekers.
Next, let us learn about Water. Avadhoota Swamy told king Yadu that his fourth Guru was Water. He described thus what he learned form Water, “Water is pleasant and pure. It is sweet. Similarly, a sage should be pure within and outside. He must be without any impurity and should be pleasant. He should be calm. He should never hurt anyone and should always speak sweetly.
He should be clean. He should have love for everyone. He should show love to all living beings. He should remove the difficulties of those who approach him. He should give them courage.” Let’s see what’s next.
