Selflessness is godliness



It is so wonderful to think that all this creation of God is done at his thought of  Sankalpa and it is much more amazing to think that this world in which we live is his gift to all of us. Does God do all this creation expecting back any returns.  All his acts are Selflesss. Actually everything happens as a matter of fact in this universe.

              " Bhutha Bharthrucha Thath GnEyam grasishnu prabhavishnu cha "

Lord says "Na karothi na lipyathi". , means  neither He acts nor attaches to this entire creation which is going on continuously, uninterruptedly.
The same nature of God should be adopted by any seeker of spiritual upliftment,;if any body wants Gods' grace, they should try to copy the nature God. Of course, the Unmanifest 's inconceivable nature is impossible to imitate, but this aspect of sacrificing the actions in the fire of Selflessness is possible for everybody.
As a nonstop beat at a single point sends the ripples of vibrations to  entire universe, one single simple practice of selfless action spreads the vibrations of purity into the entire universe connecting to the Devine.

"Karmaphalasangam Thyakthva ",resigning the results of the actions done, if an aspirent (of spiritual upliftment)  lives contented life, thinking work as his duty, it is certain that he becomes Godly.
Do  prescribed work without concentrating on its'results. Then your entire totalconcentration brings very good results. 
Donate any thing, do any charity without expecting the appreciation or rewards.That charity is called truly selfless. We should never boost by saying we have done this and that. That degrades the personality, puts down in God's looks. 
'I' is a such a dangerous syllable which kills the Modesty and Humility of even greatest person. "I" can pull down anybody to ground levels from great heights.
One who works without the ego of " I" (Aham ) becomes Brahman.

The below given sloka in Dhyana yoga preaches what I said above.
Develop a selfless pravrutthi (nature ), perform your duties disinterestedly, lead a composed contented life., which is dear to God.

                         " Thyakthva Karmaphalaasangam nithya thruptho  nirashrayaha
                           Karmanyabhi pravrutthopi neiva kinchitch  karothisaha"
 
 He, who is selfless in his actions remains devoid of attachment to the results.
As his mind is free from the expectations of his actions, establishes in only the knowledge resulted out of his actions. His entire actions melt away in the fire of knowledge emanated from them. He who does work as a sacrifice for Lord,  with a selfless attitude gets Lords' grace,. And over a period of time,by continuing the same selfless attitude towards his actions, becomes detached to the worldly attachments. Then he changes to a pure Mind, resembling God. No one can totally resemble Godly nature.


                            "Gathasangasya mukthasya gnaanavasthithachethasaha
                             Yagnaayaacharathaha  karma samagram  pravaleeyathe"

Selflessness  means without self consciousness, it does not mean without consciousness. Any body if sincerely wants to progress in spiritual line, he/she should consciously do his /her duties without any selfishness. It should become a
Characteristic of ones' charector.  This imple behavioural change will do miracles in ones' life, while changing one similar to Devine.

Selfishness turns one greedy, greed changes one to sinner, sinner becomes demoniac  not to Devine.  Hence, selfless service should become the slogan of every
Spiritual aspirent.   This desipline of selflessness takes one towards the Devine lines. 
There is no doubt in it.

Selflessness is Devinity, Devine is selfless. 
Selflessness is  Godliness , God is selfless.

                                      Bhagavanuvacha
