Re: Churn it! Churn it!

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krsna!

Dear Swami Gaurangapada, Hadai Nityananda dasa, and assembled devotees, please accept my humble obiesances.

For instance the phrase ‘part and parcel’ got a new meaning to me. We all have read it so many times in Prabhupada’s books that we are part and parcels of the Lord. Although I have always accepted the phrase as an expression of who we are in essence, I never really fully realized what it meant. Today I realize that the whole acintya-bhedabheda-tattva philosophy is contained within the phrase. As a part we are one with the Lord. A finger in itself has no function but a finger manifests specific qualities when connected to a body. An atom by itself means nothing but when connected to a larger whole it gains meaning. In this sense we are always an integral part of Lord Gaura-Nityananda. But at the same time we are not Lord Gaura-Nityananda because we are a parcel. The part doesn’t have a free will because it functions under the direction of the whole. The parcel however has a free will and is eternally different from the whole. Thus the living entities are one with and different from Lord Gaura-Nityananda at the same time. The part is an essential component of the complete whole and is one with its origin. That same part is a parcel, a portion into which the original completeness is divided and is uniquely distinct from its origin. This little phrase, when perceived within the heart, reveals our whole philosophy and is a source of unlimited ecstasy.

Thank so you much Hadai! My goodness prabhu, that is such a beautiful realization in regards to our philosophy. I pray for more insight within my heart in this regard.

We are surely, parts and parcels of one spiritual family now. Working together, under the guidance of one head, to serve the whole.

One bodily family member is recovering from broken ankle here. The plaster cast is now off, but each night the swelling still comes up. I realized within that ankle area there is memory, so the triggers in the molecular structure are still memorizing the shock of the accident, and thus protecting the area by swelling. A healer would activate triggers on certain points to remind that area that it is now healed, and can be integrated once again, with its full function, serving the rest of the body.

Yes indeed Hadai, the trigger point and activation for us, as parts and parcels of Divinity, is service to the Holy Name! The memory of who we actually are, simple servants, will be awakened once again through that process. Fully integrated.

My family member cannot believe that this ankle will heal. But the reality is, that it is still connected to the body, awaiting re-activation. When that will happen I cannot say. The ankle would only lose its memory, as a part of the whole body, if it was severed from the body. In a spiritual analogy the tiny spirit soul is never really severed, its memory is simply misplaced into thoughts of maya, and separateness. The soul will never perish like a severed limb, because it is eternal.

Thank you so much for sharing your heart-felt realizations, and for this opportunity to add last nights realizations in your blog. You have enlightened my heart today with your blog entry.

your aspiring servant...Nava.
