To whom do you belong ?
Differences of perception can be experienced according to material and spiritual consciousness. Perception can be deceiving.
Some material and spiritual thinkers may both say, “I belong to myself, I am it.” This could be thought of as rather self-centred and limiting .
The Vedas outlines philosophically orientated considerations. Most definitely, we all have a sense of belonging .
If Divinity has unlimited capacity, then feasibly He can recipricate a sense of acceptance unlimitedly for to belong we must feel that sense of acceptance. No one can belong without acceptance. The great Gaudia Vaisnava acarya of recent times Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja once said, ” Krishna may a may not accept you its up to Him ”
The Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas have taken these thoughts to the limits say We must understand who we are not before we understand who we are , and when we understand who we are , then we can have an inkling of where we might belong ,and gradually bring ourselves to where we feel a real sense of home comfort in every way . Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada coined the phrase “Back home , back to Godhead.”
The great Vaisnava acarya Srila Rupa Goswami , who was personally taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, wrote this verse.
nāhaṁ vipro na ca nara-patir nāpi vaiśyo na śūdro
nāhaṁ varṇī na ca gṛha-patir no vanastho yatir vā
kintu prodyan-nikhila-paramānanda-pūrnāmṛtābdher
gopī-bhartuḥ pada-kamalayor dāsa-dāsānudāsaḥ
TRANSLATION
” ‘I am not a brāhmaṇa, I am not a kṣatriya, I am not a vaiśya or a śūdra. Nor am I a brahmacārī, a householder, a vānaprastha or a sannyāsī. I identify Myself only as the servant of the servant of the servant of the lotus feet of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the maintainer of the gopīs. He is like an ocean of nectar, and He is the cause of universal transcendental bliss. He always exists with brilliance .
This trancendental verse brings us to the esoteric plane of pranaya, the oneness of love and belonging.
Belonging means we serve a purpose in a relationship. Every particle of consciousness belongs and has a purpose that purpose fully satisfies the inner depths of the conscious state and increasingly so
