A ‘family’ has three dimensions: Functional Dimension, Karmic Dimension, and Spiritual dimension.
Spiritual dimension has the dimension of freedom, liberation; it is an unbound space where one rejoices in his or her true nature. The purpose of this dimension is to go back to that space.
Then we have the external world – the world of Ahara, Nidra, Bhaya, Maithuna of panch bhoota. That is the functional world, a duty bound space. Truly, the rule of that domain is sharing the responsibility, sharing the duty, cooperating with each other and not rubbing with each other. When we agree upon something we have to abide by that. Remember that whatever duty or responsibility we have undertaken, it becomes our commitment. When the decision to do something is being taken or the responsibility is being assigned, be live, be watchful and become rational. Do not comment on the decisions afterwards. Once the decision has been taken, you just have no choice but to do that, whether it is good or bad. At this level we should not bring any personal or emotional problems there. Unfortunately, in functional plane, we bring in confusion. When I am doing it, think that I am just doing that as discharge of my duty; there should be no ambiguity, no confusion. We should behave like soldiers, i.e., whatever instructions given, you just do that. In the duty bound space there is no choice, no assumption. When you have choices you create space for confusion and you become bound. When you have no choice, it means that you have accepted the reality, that is all and you are free. Where is assumption now? All your assumptions have disappeared now. There is no ambiguity. Everything is very clear and a beautiful harmony sets in there. You create a rhythm and you sail through the rhythm and orchestra works accordingly. When you abide by the duty that, in turn, develops trust. This is called Karma Yoga and this is going to help you in redefining your personality.
The third dimension, the karmic dimension lies between the above two planes of existence: one is unbound and other is terribly bound. Karma means your attitude, your behavior, your aptitude, your approach – all are called karma. That is why the karmic plane is also called the emotional plane. Karma is connected to the bound space only. Your Karma, Samskara and vasanas go through continuous changes, transformations; because, it is kept between bound and unbound fields. In the bound area when you start getting agitated, or getting attached then that reflects upon you karmic body and new karmic loops starts developing. Development of further and further of these karmic loops will not let you feel or reach the unbound space that is there in you. This will make you to move more and more outward and make you think - how to execute, how to run away, how to confront, how to avoid, how to fight, etc. The karmic personality has to be purified by taking leap from the bound space to the unbound space. The entire karmic field got generated because the jeeva has to face the external bound world. If the bound world becomes a duty bound world without any friction, resistance or rubbing, then jeeva frees itself from the duty bound world. Karyam karma karoti yah! That you are supposed to do, do it and finish it. Anashrita karma phala. But do not depend up on it.
Same thing develops for an organization too. It also has three levels: objectives and the vision level; responsibility given or taken level; and between these two the emotional and communicative domain. First we have to be clear about our vision. Define it. Keep the objective in a sacred space and do not corrupt it, do not dilute it. Do not put your emotion and spoil it. Do not modify this. Then total surrender to the unbound space. Modalities to achieve the objectives may differ.
Then comes the functional level. Continuously question here why we are with the organization. This will help you define your responsibility. Your commander takes a decision with due consultation with you in the meeting. Once the decision is taken, do not question the commander as to how did he do it, what compelled him to do that, etc. do not do that. Then you will find that your emotion becomes positive, free from sentiments, getting purified and reconditioned. You start understanding objective as objective and duty as duty.
The emotional zone called the live zone should become the super conductor between the objective zone and the responsibility zone. Most of the time this live zone is an insulator or semi conductor and seldom it is a conductor. Think how you can make this completely free from resistance or friction.
This is our Sadhana.
