The Essence of my being: my submission

The right thing would perhaps have been my submissive nature. But no, it is my submission. because its who i am. submitted completely to something. In this post, i'm trying to analyse what this something is.


Submission to a Man? no i don't think i would ever be fully submitted to One Man. I could be submitted to Him, Physically, emotionally, sexually, intellectually, logically and every other -ally, but perhaps not through my soul (though that doesn't mean that i don't judge my submission to a Man, spiritual in a way as well).

Submission to God's Man?
Submission to God?
Submission to what then?

Mind, Body,Heart and Soul

The mind, body, heart and soul relation is somthing that has often intrigued me. It is not something to be easily understood, and yet, at the same time, excessively simple. For eg. my heart wanted to post this entry months ago. I had started this post months back, perhaps as my first post, and its today that I'm colpleting it. Why? certainly because at times my bodily situations didnt support. at others my thoughts (mind) wasn't prettu focussed. and at many others, i didn't want to make my soul heavy with confession.

Heavy with confession? perhaps sounds stupid eh?. But, for me, it isn't stupid. Its very sensible, and very very logical. For me, my acknowledgement to the desires of my mind, heart and body, sometimes makes my soul feel guilty. or makes my mind feel guilty of soiling my soul perhaps. But, then at other times, i remember that soul actually is the purest spark of light, emmanating from God, with a certain amount of free will, and a purposeful body and mind.

at the same time, ideally to me, my bind, body and heart should be none, but just, means, methods, and tools to realize what ultimately my soul wants. Now this is where i get messed up. scriptures, seekers and Masters say its GOD that my soul wants and should wants. my question is how to be sure. I know its true by my faith, intuition and much more, but not with my logic. Or perhaps, logic doesn't work when we're talking of souls and super soul?

I understand that certain things are realizable truly only with experiences, and experiences of soul are such. However, i think i'm not yet ripe, and hence the experience doesn't come with the full impact. Perhaps, it will still take me some time, to reallise the path my soul wants to travel, and how my body, mind and heart fall in symphony to it. Or perhaps in gross sense, i do realise. Its just in the deeper senses, that I am not yet ready, and waiting.

This is one of the reasons, when i think about M/s dynamics in my life, i can't think of submitting my soul, since i feel my eternal submission is committed to GOD! Yes, I know people would say that's crap, and who's seen God, or if they are polite, perhaps they would say, that God is the eternal Master, but not realisable physically. Or else, they might also say, that to strike a balance there is a necessity to divide appropriately suited time, to the needs of the Mind, Body, Heart and soul. If I had to choose, I would choose the last attention, dividing time appropriately, but not complete forgetting in any manner.

Can't really think more at this time, will add as a sequel if anything comes to mind later on. :)

Patience, Persistance, Devotion and Loyalty

A very important part of a man's existence is patience, the next being persistence and then comes devotion and then loyalty. Without these four things, no man can survive. They would constantly face problems. It doesn't essentially have to be towards God, or towards a Man/ Woman for that matter. It doesn't essentially have to be in a relationship. It has to be in the overall personality and the whole existence of a person.

Patience and persistence is not just required once one starts walking towards their goal, it also is many times required for seeking the goal itself. without patience and perseverence, nothing can be achieved and as i said it is not a part of just a relationship, its a part of everything practically. A part of cooking, a part of learning new things, a part of attaining a goal, even a part of sleeping for that matter. impatient minds are often insomniac :)

Once patience and perseverence, help one seek His/ her goal, one can then move forward to the action plan, which then requires devotion and loyalty. devotion to the action plan and loyalty to the target as well as the mentor if there is one.

update as of 14.11.08: a spiritual seeker yesterday said to me.....You can test a Guru and one genuine will prove Himself to You, but once You accept His shelter, its Your trust that matters on Your end, or else His greatest powers would be useless for You.
