Notes 13 July

 *Chivasangh Observance on Sunday, July 13, 2025 at Mouna Mantapa*

The Chivasangh session held on Sunday, July 13, 2025, commenced at 9:30 AM with Guru Vandana, Nirvana Shatakam, and the chanting of the sacred Panchashakri Mantra, followed by a period of silentation.

After silentation, our beloved Master entered the Mouna Mantapa, where all the abhyasis reverently offered their namaskars in deep devotion.

A moment of celebration followed, as Abhyasis marked their birthday by honoring the Master with devotion and gratitude. 

The Master then delivered a discourse, offering insights into the following:

1. Thinking about unfulfilled desires, expectations, and disappointments generates karmaphala, which in turn leads to suffering.

2. Why should I suffer? Just as we naturally feel physical pain when someone hits us, we think that suffering is inevitable. But it is not. 

3. Where does suffering arise from? It arises from our karmaphala. As karmaphala reduces, our suffering also reduces.

4. When our karmaphala reduces, the disturbances in our mind also reduce, allowing us to live peacefully.

5. Karmaphala is the cause of both happiness and sorrow. When one is freed from karmaphala, one no longer experiences happiness and sorrow and unaffected by external circumstances.

6. We have taken birth due to karmaphala. To attain mukti, one must become completely free from karmaphala.

7. How is karmaphala created? When an action is done forcibly or under compulsion, it generates karmaphala.

8. Regretting not doing a task and continuously thinking about it generate karmaphala.

9. If you wish to do something, do it. If you cannot do it, leave it and don’t worry. Likewise, if you don’t wish to do something, simply don’t do it.

10. When karmaphala reduces, our perception shifts positively. This shift is a sign that karmaphala is decreasing.

11. Forcibly thinking about unfulfilled things creates impressions. These impressions later turn into karmaphala.

12. When karmaphala is destroyed, the memory of the incident is forgotten. At the time of death, if all karmaphala is erased, mukti can be attained.

13. Difficulties arise when work is not done correctly, but they should not turn into suffering. Difficulties are inevitable, but suffering is optional.

14. Difficulties depend on circumstances. If you don’t think about them, you won’t create karmaphala.

15. During times of suffering, avoid blaming the cause, as this helps reduce karmaphala. Don’t keep thinking about it; instead, tolerate it and let it pass.

16. When Chivam energy is available within you, there will be no suffering."*Shiva Shiva endare suffering illa*"

The Chivasangh concluded with Shanthivachana.
