The Dance of Life (Guna Lilies) Website: http:\/\/mantradevi.com\/<\/p><\/div>\n

In the great epic story, The Mahabharata, each character represents a positive or negative human quality, The personified war between constructive and destructive qualities describes our own inner battle against delusion. To gain success and happiness, Paramhansa Yogananda gave us many practical and useful tools. This little story illustrates one of the most powerful war-conquering tactics that he counseled us to use. <\/em><\/p>\n

Hi, my name is Aspiring<\/em>. It\u2019s a quiet Saturday morning. Up in my attic room I\u2019m enjoying doing a project that I\u2019ve longed to get to. My friends, Contentment<\/em> and Happiness<\/em>, are helping me. My sister, In-The-Moment<\/em>, is also with us. In-The-Moment<\/em> rarely visits me and I\u2019m enjoying her company very much. My brother, Meditation<\/em>, has just left. We had a good visit. He regularly comes to see me.<\/p>\n

The four of us have been peacefully working together for quite some time when the door downstairs opens, and I hear my cousin, Restless<\/em>, calling me. \u201cAspiring<\/em>, are you home?\u201d \u00a0I get up and go downstairs. He\u2019s brought his friend, Fault-Finding<\/em>, with him. We are talking in the sitting room when I hear people coming into the house. \u201cI invited some of our friends and relatives over,\u201d said Restless<\/em>. He\u2019s like that, continually wanting to get some action going, often acting on impulse.<\/p>\n

I get up and start to enter the dining room, but, catching a glimpse of my least favorite cousins, Vices<\/em> and Bad-Habits<\/em>, I go into the kitchen instead. There, I see Mr<\/em>. Greed<\/em> rummaging through the fridge. Who does he think he is, helping himself like that without asking? Good grief! I go into the living room and immediately see Rejection<\/em> by the fire. He\u2019s often cold and trying to get warm.<\/p>\n

Ah, there\u2019s Aunt<\/em> Desire<\/em>, looking beautiful as usual, sitting with her twin daughters, False-Happiness<\/em> and Sorrow<\/em>. I\u2019m rather drawn to Aunt<\/em> Desire<\/em>. I often have her over for tea. We have the most fun conversations about interesting places we can go, beautiful things we can buy. She has a seemingly endless amount of ideas. I chat a bit, then get up to leave the room and spot Little Miss Whiney<\/em> and Self-Pity<\/em>, poor things, feeling apart from life and sitting in the corner commiserating together. I\u2019m starting to feel quite unsettled. The peaceful feeling of this morning is evaporating.<\/p>\n

Noticing that the basement door is open I tiptoe down the stairs to the storage room. I see Nostalgia<\/em> and her friend, Attachment<\/em>, going through old picture albums, oohing and awing, having a great time remembering the past. My cousin Worry<\/em> is down there, too, but not paying attention, she\u2019s totally caught up in her thoughts.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s that commotion I hear upstairs? I go up and see Anger<\/em> and Frustration<\/em> having an argument in one room. They\u2019re really going at it. Best to leave them alone. I peek into the guestroom and see a little party of three: Mr<\/em>. Judgmental<\/em>, Mrs<\/em>. Gossip<\/em> and Destructive<\/em>–Criticism<\/em>, animatedly talking together. They obviously think they are having a good time. As I go down the hall I see Low<\/em>–Self<\/em>–Image<\/em> hiding out in the office, playing computer games. Walking back downstairs I pass Doubt<\/em>, who has a very serious look on his face.<\/p>\n

What a strange and gloomy collection of friends and relatives I have in my house. Where did they all come from? I\u2019m not enjoying their company. I don\u2019t want this party!<\/p>\n

I have to get out of here. I feel overwhelmed with all this negative energy. I rush past my Auntie<\/em> Too<\/em>–Tired<\/em>. The poor woman, constantly exhausted, refuses to take action on what she needs to do to have more energy. Just as I reach the door it opens, and in walk the very good looking, but oh, so insufferable, Ego<\/em> and Pride<\/em> brothers. This is too much!<\/p>\n

I burst out of the house into the warm sunshine. With surprise, I see a whole different group of friends and relatives enjoying the fresh air and sunny day. Love<\/em> and Compassion<\/em> are sitting under a tree, showing little Kindness<\/em> how to make paper cranes. Concentration<\/em> and Willpower<\/em> are immersed in a game of chess. My cousins, Even<\/em>–Mindedness<\/em>, and her sister, Cheerful<\/em>, are walking in the garden. Power<\/em> is energizing with great gusto, he\u2019s so full of energy. Wisdom<\/em> is sitting on the patio swing with Peace<\/em> and Calmness<\/em>, while Light<\/em> and Joy<\/em> are choreographing a new dance. My heart swells with gladness to see them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s wonderful to get out of that dark house. I really would like all those characters in there to leave. They make me feel so bad. I don\u2019t know what to do. I think I\u2019ll ask Wisdom\u2019s<\/em> advice.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to let them in,\u201d he declares to me. \u201cYou\u2019re so nice to them. You give them energy, you talk to them, feed them, and have an open door policy to your house. Stop giving them energy. When they come to the door, ignore them or tell them to go away. Let them know they are no longer welcome in your home. You can choose who you want in your life. Do you want to feel good or continue feeling unhappy?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cHere\u2019s a suggestion,\u201d says Wisdom, \u201cTake Willpower<\/em> and Concentration<\/em> with you for support, go into the house, and tell them all to leave. But first, you have to decide if you really want to be happy, rather than miserable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d I decide, \u201cI want happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Willpower<\/em>, Concentration<\/em> and I start toward the house, the others jump up, exclaiming, \u201cWe\u2019ll come with you, Aspiring!\u201d<\/em> My dearest friends Love, Compassion, Kindness, Calmness, Peace, Even-Minded, Cheerful, Light, <\/em>and Joy<\/em> gather around me. I feel the reassuring presence of Wisdom<\/em> and Power<\/em> behind me.<\/p>\n

We enter the house and, to my amazement, everyone is gone. The living room, kitchen and dining area are empty. The door to the basement is closed and it\u2019s totally quiet upstairs. The house seems clean and bright. I can\u2019t believe they\u2019ve all left!<\/p>\n

We hear voices coming from the sitting room. Entering, we see a beautiful sight. Sitting talking are Love<\/em> and Joy\u2019s<\/em> parents, Aum<\/em> and Divine<\/em> Mother<\/em>. Twin siblings, Acceptance<\/em> and Detachment<\/em> look up and smile happily at us. And there, on a pillow on the floor, is my most beloved sister, Devotion<\/em>. And, guess who they are visiting with? My Guru, Paramhansa<\/em> Yogananda<\/em>!<\/p>\n

As I lovingly gaze at Sri Yoganandaji<\/em> He seems to looks different, reminding me of Jesus<\/em> Christ<\/em>. But now, He is looking more like a King, resembling San Fernando III<\/em>. His appearance then fades into a broader image of another King, William<\/em> the<\/em> Conqueror<\/em>. I now see that His sword is becoming a bow, and the form of Arjuna<\/em> sits in His chair. His outward appearance continues to transform into people I don\u2019t recognize. Then, gradually, He again becomes my beloved Paramhansa<\/em> Yogananda<\/em>, whom God has given to me as His pure channel, showing me His Celestial<\/em> Self<\/em> through the Divine form of my Guru<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Yoganandaji looks at me with love and says, \u201cCome in closer, so I can bless you.\u201d He blesses me, putting his finger on my spiritual eye<\/a>. Waves of joy pulse through me. I\u2019ve never felt such bliss before. He looks deeply into my eyes, \u201cI now give you the new name of Bliss<\/em>.\u201d I can hardly contain my joy.<\/p>\n

I look around the room, and know for certain, these are the friends and relatives I choose to invite to my party.<\/p>\n

Once you succeed in bringing God’s light into the dimly lit room of your consciousness, your spiritual darkness will vanish forever. <\/em><\/p>\n
