The Universal Truths
“Everything is Duty”
“Everything is Fun”
By definition:
Duty is something I have to do to remain in compliance with The Teachings.
Has to be performed.
Cannot be avoided.
It is mandatory to accept, perform or carry out a task or action to remain in compliance with The Teachings.
The ordinary meaning of ‘duty’ is a legal and or a moral obligation to carry out a task or action.
Therefore, I need to make myself ready, to perform my daily tasks.
Obligation:
Akin to duty.
Has to be performed.
Cannot be avoided.
It is mandatory to accept, perform or carry out a task or action to remain in compliance with The Teachings.
Qn. What is my first duty?
Ans. To discover all my duties.
The most important duty is for the Atma to carry out the specific Task given by GOD for that Janam.
Comment: Whenever the Atma is out of contact with the intelligence of the body+mind specifically given for that purpose, then the completion of that Task devolves upon the body+mind given to that Atma.
In addition, the Atma has several other duties according to The DIVINE LAWS, Articles, GIFT, Rules and The Principles Life that will all devolve upon the body+mind specifically given for that purpose.
Once the body+mind given to the Atma takes birth, it takes a long time to become capable of independent action.
It is during this period of childhood, adolescence and young adulthood that the control of the Atma over the given body+mind is lost due to the cumulative effect of the actions of that body+mind due to frustration, anger, selfishness, greed, lust, ego, pride, et cetera.
Society in the form of the parental and familial group, the peer group, the educational system et al, all act in subtle and not so subtle ways to corrupt the psyche and mental conditioning of the body+mind to veer away from The Path of The DIVINE Way as given in The Teachings to a different life as corrupted by society, which says that you have just one life therefore, you must enjoy yourself through so-called earthly pleasures, material things and activities.
GOD loves each one equally. GOD treats each one at par. GOD obeys HIS own LAWS, Rules and Principles, as HE wants us to obey them in totality.
The FOUR Rules of Life
Rule 1 Tells me that I Am Responsible for everything and every aspect of and in my own life. It is my responsibility to perform my duties.
Rule 2 Requires that I Am Positive and therefore I cannot escape, evade, shirk or ignore any of my duties.
Rule 3 States that I Am Self-Enabled; hence, it is my need to identify, accept and carry out all my duties on my own initiative.
Rule 4 Inbforms me that I Am Dynamic and therefore I perform every duty actively.
In The DIVINE LAWS, GOD has specified Duties for and by:
- The Teacher
- The Atma
- The body+mind
- Mother
- Father
- Society
- Service Providers
- Children
- Spouse
Further, GOD has specified Obligations towards:
- HIMSELF (through HIS needy ones)
- The Teacher (not school/university/yoga teachers)
- The Teachings
- The Ecology
- Mother
- Father
- Society
- Service Providers
- Children
- Spouse
- Self
‘Everything is Fun.’
Since I have to do my Duty, it is my responsibility to make the doing of my Duty Fun for myself.
Deductions
Duty is an obligation.
Duty is always an Act of Commission.
