यदि देहं पृथक्कृत्य चिति तिष्ठसि ।
अधुनैव सुखी शान्तो बन्धमुक्तो भविष्यसि ॥
This is beautiful. If you can see this body as a part of this earth, part of the air, ether, fire and the water, then a sense seperation takes place. You can feel that - a sense of seperation, or of totality, of total belongingness. If you could relax your mind, the energy in you is at rest, is at peace. Right now, at this very moment, you are happy. You will be the happiest person; the most peaceful and settled.
बन्धमुक्तो भविष्यसि. You are free at this very moment. At any moment you can relax totally and let go; that very moment you are peaceful. If someone comes at particular moment when the fire element is rising, you know, they're not going to give you any good news. They are going to say something that will create more fire and disturbance in you. And it is not going to be true. Even if there is any truth in it, it's nothing compared to how it has been told or exaggerated to you.
And further, if you have control over these elements, then you will see how if you say, 'Let there be clouds', there will be clouds. If you say, 'Let there be sun', there is no way the sun cannot be there. 'Let the rain stop', it has to stop, because the main switch is in the Self. The main switch is here, inside. The entire universe is just an expression or projection of the being, of the Self. I'm not telling you to do this. You should not confused, and think that you're going to acquire that ability, and then control everything. There is nothing to control. Everything is already happening in the Self, by the Self, with the Self, for the Self. That is total freedom. अधुनैव सुखी शान्तो बन्धमुक्तो भविष्यसि
You are free right this very moment. You can be happy right now. What are you looking for to be happy? Do you think that one day enlightenment is going to dawn on you and God's grace is going to pour on your head like rain. God's grace is not going to come to you through the ceiling one day, and take you by surprise.
Be peaceful, right this moment. Walk feeling you are free right this moment, move like a cloud. You know how smoothly a cloud moves. Walk on the mud but don't let the mud touch your feet. Let the mud not burry your feet. Walk like a moving cloud. Move in this world like a cloud. A white cloud can move through anything, any tree or mountain!
Our botherations are very small, very silly and very little. We are not bothered about what is happening in this universe. Are you bothered about what is happening in the whole universe? How many stars are bursting; how many worlds are dissolving into nothingness and how many new ones are being created? We are not worried about that, are we? Are you worried about what is happening in your own solar system? Halley's comet or another comet may be coming. That is not a worry. It is just exciting news. Are you worried about the state of this very planet; about what is happening here? Yes, to some extent a few are.
If you are determined to worry, worry big! What will happen in so many thousands of years? What is happening to this entire universe? What is the fate or future of it? If I have to come back at all, where shall i come to? If you want to make decisions, make it big! The moment a worry becomes big, it becomes joy. That which is big is joyful; whatever is small is never a joy. There is no joy in something that is tiny. And you don't find joy in something tiny, because you are big.
So if you are frustrated, you are very lucky. Who will not be frustrated? One who is not aware of 'big' , one who feels that small is enough. And one who knows that one is big. Both will not be frustrated. So, if frustration steps in-between, be happy.
