How lightly a vow is taken. A vow is not a spiritual contract, as many seem to think it is. A vow is an understanding and an actual action taken to transform the mind. This evolution occurs internally. Much has been said about what is internal and what is external. These are not mere words but have a nonlocal and transcendental connotation. When we actually sit down and quietly listen to ourselves and not judge based on environmental conditionings, perhaps this is knowing ourselves internally.
Under such circumstances, we make an honest pact with ourselves. We admit to our faults, shortcomings, attachments, ignorance and for once not justify our mistakes. And then, through this pact or vow a transformation to make connections with the higher-self comes into place.
The force in us is great. We can will many victories and also engage in many failures. But none of these are real. Because our minds actually only register electronic signals and not the object our eyes perceive. What we touch, taste, see, hear and smell are merely an intention to make them real and we know deep down, what we perceive and study as real is consequently a tiny drop of reality.
This vow that we make with ourselves, is an agreement to drop the sheild of rationalism and to go beyond what is empirical and factual. A plunge into the unknown, fearless, deathless, selfless and joyous rim. The force within us which, dances to the tune of nature links once again with the universal one .
