TEACHINGS

Teachings In this section there will be updated postings on various lectures, advices or inspired glimpses by Shri Hanuman. Following an informal style of transmiting knowledge,he may refer to sages like Ramana Maharshi in order to convey some deeper suggestions. However, his essential belief is that each individual should reflect and experience truth by him(her)self. Though Shri Hanuman is currently based in Europe, a few groups have been mantained abroad independently (non-organizational structures) by some of his disciples in order to perpetuate such teachings -notably in Puerto Rico and Brazil -places where he’s toured regularly over the last ten years. Be welcome to enquire more about these activities. ________________________________________________________________ Guru Purnima 2012 Message – “Karma” May I answer the questions you’ve never asked… In order to proceed , please keep in mind that I went through the same human experiences than you - I know what is joy ,pain, happiness ,respect ,poverty ,comfort , love , to be loved and also betrayed even before,between and after the chant of the rooster. This all part of the play that you may call cosmic,but it can also hurt terribly . The question is why do we have to suffer in life ? where does it comes from ? Can it be avoided ? and why me ? There is no reliable spiritual teaching that could ignore the question of sufferance or simply answering it by a cheap redeeming method . Taking in consideration that , no one incarnates virgin on earth but with an heritage : transgenerational , genetic , cultural inducing paterns in which consciously or unconsciously we participate and reproduce for the best or the worst . The personality blossoms on this ground and spouses a form wich synthetizes these aspects ;this set up at last will welcome the events of one ‘s life . The origin of the events of life can be classified in different categories : the karmic ones ( necessary) ; those which result from our direct thoughts , speech and actions ; those resulting from astral forces ;and at last those resulting from balance or disbalance of the physical or psychic health . The personna is a complex entity made up of determination and freedom .The spiritual path enables oneself to acknowledge limitations due to incarnation and to transcend them by knowledge . The one who knows is definitly healed an free . Let us consider what is to be meant by acknowledging limitations ; it means to play with the cards given in this present life .There are good and bad cards and it is with them that one has to make one’s life . The repartition of cards to each and everyone individual is not a question of simply merit or demerit ; may we not fall in this rethoric trap , it is far more complex than that ; otherwise this simplistic, naive but cruel view would reduce the truth to an act of gain and bargain - like those who have wealth for instance, are those who deserve to have , and on the contrary, those who starve deserve not. It is a barbarian view which has justified all bad karma accumulated on earth , for we know but forget how richnesses were stolen in the history, by reducing to slavery or oppression ethnical groups , low classes or even masses .Humanity has a long past of domination of the strong over the weak .Whether it is a geneticly inherited principle or a patern acquiered by birth through the society , we are all unconsciously carrying that burden of the history . Karma is an interactive process of cause and effects wich radiates in one’s life , like water spouses the form of the glass in wich it is poured , similarly karma spouses the context , environment ,psychic ,physical condition and personality of the subject to finally merge in with .Water can be drunk only if you have a vessel or at least your hands , such is karma , the summit of actions . In simple words: action is our nature, this the reason of incarnation .Since time immemorial actions have been performed on the terrestrial scene , carved in the history of humanity . But who acts ? this fundamental question opens two paths of thought giving birth to subsidiary variations .The first one would state it is the I ness , the subject who acts , from this so obvious point of view one can draw the correlated system of moral, merit / demerit , free will , possible belief in God , life after death , continuation of one ‘s own story . For the second , the I cannot pretend to be the author of actions even while postulating : if you see good in me it’s because of Him ( The Guru) , the ultimate Shiva ; and what about the bad – because of me ? Yoga teaches us that fragmentation into Iness is nescience or ignorance, this impression of fragmentation is superimposed because the world perceived is colored by attachment and false identifications with the objects . This process is ruled by fear and greed . Consequently, the fragmented I if not the author of actions who is . The problematic clears by itself : if one is persuaded of acting , he will bear the fruits of actions with merit and dismerit ; in the second case,on the contrary, it is God or the ruler of Karma who is in charge of this role . the Iness trapped into misconception of His identity takes the shadow for the real body . Finally,regardless of the points of view,the author of actions remains the action itself or the field of action ( Kurukshetra) governed by the ruler of space and time . It is crucial to understand that in the field of actions anything can happen due to the friction of possibilities and latencies to an extend of tragic and absurd situations described in the Bhagavad Gita and Gospels – such as relating crucification of the Christ, for instance Subsequently, actions are unevitable with their consequences too, for they rely on an infinite set up of causes network . Some paths concentrated on tracking the effects in their causes , others in simply annihilating the classical notion of cause to consider only effects with absence of quantum causes . At this point we are at the crossroads between the relative and the absolute . The question of sufferance embraces both .Kurukshetra is the place of sufferance and deliverance .The sufferance exists until the dream in which the nightmare takes place and moves us .In that dream all commands coexist to activate Karma (good or bad) in all spheres of existence ,with their characters to identify with . For the awakened , sufferance is proportional to the fact of how much real is the dream . But the awakened may consider it as real as an act of compassion to those who are prisioners of sufferance .In this case, his behavior can be difficult to decipher . to be followed “On the (intricacy) meaning of Grace” For most of people, Grace is a gift of the heaven emanating from God directly . The religions have contributed largely to spread this message with different variables .The saints and Avatars were mediums to defend human cause in order to harvest the Mercy of God . At a time when the situation was so critical and desperate, the ultimate sent saviors were called Messiahs or Mahavatars . The sanskrit word for Grace is Kripam Kri means action, Pam is a result or destination in simple words,we get for what we have done. Kri is the same root of Karma . When one realizes that, it changes the angle of view . It would be well inspired to check in one’s life wich and how the results or consequences are directly linked to the actions performed previously . When one is overflowed and lost in the courant of the negative results of actions, there is lot of suffering , situations becomes unmanageable , only a savior or a Satguru can undertake this charge, and we may ultimately realize that we are not anymore the performers of actions . The pre-requisite attitudes in life that would prevent most of undesired effects are: unshakable faith undoubted honnesty sincerity towards anyone including oneself respect of life in all its manifestations simplicity innocence service to justice patience wholeheartedness clearing contracted debts (material and moral ) Only on this account one may know what is real Love.
