Veda Vyasa.

Veda Vyasa pondered upon himself and the stories he narrated earlier. He adored his gurus, uttered the meanings and feelings of Vedas. He taught and said all dharmas. But he did not do all these with dedication to Eshwara so he felt dissatisfied. It is insufficient, if done without involvement and with a feeling of ego that he only could do it.Veda vyasa felt unhappy as he could not satisfy the heart and of Vishnu with his total surrender  or commitment. Before writing Bhagavatam he shared his feelings to Narada and that is the reason Narafda told his life history to Veda Vyasa as an eye opener.
God never forgets a devotee who is immersed in meditating upon God always. As one moves closer to God, he gets liberty with God. To realize  the universe as Vishnu, to renounce the actions by surrendering to God, meditate upon God and that is the only commitment he has.  This should be his life.
More feeling has less essence. One should not be over conscious of what one does. One should follow three things .
1. See the universe as s Vishnu.
2. If you dedicate your actions to God, that is renunciation.
3. Do your duties and responsibilities.
A part of the body is to be considered as God and the second part is to nr utilized to do duties or karmas.
To whom ever Narada advised the essence is the same either to Veda Vyasa or Prahlada. We do not of remember - we do not recognize. Just as you get butter out of milk , you realize and see this through the churning of your mind.The blessing of God came in the form of Narada to give this advise to Veda Vyasa.
Those who are not happy, having known every thing, are taught through Gopikas. The happiness of Gopikas is devoid of arrogance or ego.


The story of Narada.

Narada started vasudeva  upasana. His thoughts were based on Eshwara. He became indifferent to getting involved in three gunas .  He was away from the bonds or the longings of the world which were like fire and submitted everything to Eshwara. So Eshwara was pleased and blessed him.Yagna purusha appeared before him with pleasantness . If we meditate upon Omkara, Vasudeva, Pradyumna' Anirudha, and Sankarshana,  Yagna purusha with his weapons conch and Sri Chakra in his hands appear before us.
The Pragna that is spread everywhere is present in the head and that is Vasudeva. The place of command is light, Ajna kendram, is known Pradyumnaya. From the heart through the sensory organs evident in the hearts of people individually is Anirudhaya. From then neck to the heart is Sankarshana.
The prajna that is there in us is Vasudeva prajna. Our intelligence is of God. He lives means God lives. That ' I' in us works every day. We think that that 'I' is we. It is ignorance  Pradyumna is the personification of mind 'Budhi'. Again the ego that spreads from neck to heart is Anirudha. Eveyone does not get the feeling that whatever work he does is the meditation of God.
Where there is willingness and hatred, infatuation dwells. People's behavior is originated from this infatuation. If we look at the divine presence behind the behavior of these people , we do not hate them as persons. We will not suffer. Anirudha is the one who can not be prevented.

Veda Vyasa.
Veda Vyasa pondered upon himself and the stories he narrated earlier. He adored his Gurus and uttered the feelings and meanings of Vedas.He taught and said all Dharmas. But he did not do all theses with dedication to Eshwara. so he felt disappointed. It is insufficient, if done without involvement and with a feeling of "ego" that he only could do it. Veda Vyasa felt unhappy because he could not satisfy the heart of Vishnu with his total surrender  or commitment. Before writing Bhagavatam he shared his feelings with Narada and that is the reason why Narada told his life history to Veda Vyasa as an eye opener.
God never forgets a devotee who is immersed in the meditation of God always. As one moves closer to God , he gets liberty with God.To realize the universe as Vishnu , to renounce the actions by surrendering to God, meditate upon God and that is the only commitment he has. This should be his life. More feeling has less essence. One should not be over conscious of what he does. One should follow three things.
1. See the universe as Vishnu.Veda Vyasa.

Bhagavatam
When you utter “Kesava Namas” ,You have to visualize Vishnu Murthy and His brightness Lakshmi Devi. Twenty four names. Do they establish a form in Your mind? Daily one should read “Sri Suktam” and “Purusha Suktam” .The one who has established God in  him, when ever He would answer his call ,is a real devotee.
Bhagavata  Margam.
To see Veda Purusha in four forms .To feel Sri Vishnu in our body [including Om Karam].
The story of Narada.
Narada started Vasudeva Upasana. His thoughts were based on Eshwara. He became indifferent to getting involved in three Gunas and he was away from the bonds and longing of the world which were like fire and submitted himself to Eshwara. So Eshwara was pleased and blessed him. Yagna Purusha appeared before him with pleasantness. If we  meditate upon “Omkara” Vasudeva,,Pradyumna,Anirudha ,Sankarshana, Yagna Purusha with his weapons conch and Sri Chakra in His hands appear before us.
Om Namo Vasudevaya: The Pragna that is spread  every where is present in the head that is Vasudeva.
Om Namo  Pradyumanaya: The place of command “Agna Kendram”.[Light].
Om Namo Anirudhaya:  From the heart to through the sensory organs evident in the hearts of people individually.
Om Namo Sankarshanaya: From the neck to the heart.
The Pragna that is there in us is Vasudeva Pragna.  Our intelligence is the intelligence of God.  He lives means God lives. That “I “ in us works every day. If we think that “ That I” is “we “ it is ignorance. Pradyumna is the personification of mind[Budhi].
Again the ego that spreads from neck to heart is Anirudha.  Every one does not obtain the feeling that whatever he does is the meditation of God [Daiva Smarana].  When there is willingness and hatred, infatuation  [Moham] dwells. People’s infatuation is originated from this infatuation. If we look at the Divine presence behind the behavior of these people , we do not hate them as persons. We will not suffer. Anirudha is the one who can not prevented.  This life is not ours but it is led by Eshwara. This should be our approach.

Bhagavatam: First Skanda.
People are absorbed in the longings of family life. Do not do deeds simply to get pleasure. This is all attitude. You can not buy pleasure with anything. A person who is retired does not have any pleasure. One becomes sick only after retirement. All parts of the body get affected.  So do activities with commitment and willingness.  Do not do for the sake of pleasure alone.
If you can laugh little, total work is done easily. To be able to laugh is real fortune. Laughter lessens the burden of anything. To laugh and to make others laugh is one of the acts of philosophy.
Once we do with willingness. Next we do with infatuation.
Things that are done with  Trikarana Sudhi [Manasa, Vacha, Karmana] ,with heart, Speech and actions may not be rewarding in some cases.But still we must not give up doing. Continue to do irrespective of the result and that is what preached by Sri Krishna in Bhagavat Gita.
Karya Karmalu:
Actions are done with an offering to God and thinking that it is a good act.Things and actions that you do not have interest in, must be done leaving every thing to God. Difficult deeds also must be done with the dedication. Whatever you aspire may nmot be obtained. To get or not to get is the grace and willingness of God. You can not see anything except to see what God does. One who believes in this God's decision does not perish even if he falls.
All Karmas are the basis of family bondage. If they are considered as the offering to God, they become the basis of intelligence [by conquering ignorance]. and make Eshwara , who is in the other form, happy.

Bhagavatam

We get misery from those whom we like most.Sometimes we get misery from those whom we hate most, We feel unhappy at ego and malice. By seeing all these we feel unhappy. what we see in others is also there in us. Our face, our nature reflect in the world. We find hatred, jealousy, sin and good in others in plenty. It is because all these things are there in us in abundance.We are looking at our own reflection.
If we offer prayer to the Eshwara in other person , that is real greatness.Go on looking at Vasudeva.
It is easy to see Vishnu. we can not see our enemy as Vishnu..If we consider him as Vishnu ,the chemistry in you changes. Rajas,Tamas gunas in you keep changing.
Sri Krishna defined "Satwa" gunas as follows:
1. Adhyatmika Tapam.
2.Adibhowthika Tapam.
3.Adi daivika Tapam.
Abhayam is to conquer fear.
What kinds of fears do you have?
1.Fear about yourself and your body.
2.Longing for material gains, relatives, friends. Fear about either gain or loss.
3.The urge that is caused on account of the previous birth[Karma Phalam].
Getting fear without without valid reason. Being jealous without proper reason.This all comes out of a Karma Phalam. of previous births.Even if we do good bad comes for us.That is the longing [Tapam].
If you want to get rid of these  fears ,You have to see "Eshwara" in all your activities.
