Deity of Frustration

There are many types of energies in the psyche. These are cast into a threefold designation in the Bhagavad Gita, as having clarifying, passionate and confusing influences. Some people feel that this is simple because Krishna explained it in a jiffy in his discourse with Arjuna.

Many devotees of Krishna, and others who feel that they mastered the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita, are of the view that they mastered the modes of material nature, the gunas. These claims are hilarious. The only thing that is true about such claims is that material nature is so gracious and noble that it is slow to shame those who stand up and claim that they transcended her influences while in fact, they remain tightly controlled thereby.

Each of the three gunas or moody influences of material nature are divested into many sub-moods and sub-sub-moods. Some of these are obvious to the living being. Some are covert, hidden or dormant. These influences are also regulated by their particular patron deities, who are astral beings wielding psychic power over the world.

We experience the influences in a twofold way, as energies which possess us and force us to do their bidding and as persons whom we associate with resulting in our assumption of those persons’ perspectives. In either case of the impulsive or personal influences, the result is the same, that we are motivated to act or not to act in a certain way.

Once we take an embryo form, we are bundled with many desires besides what we carried with us from the past life. There is no exception to this. Even the God, Krishna had to fulfill desires of his relatives when he took birth as the son of Devaki.

But what happens when these desires are not fulfilled?

What happens when these desires are fulfilled?

Does it end there?

Is one desire is ploughed under like a dead leaf of a tree which is composted into making new soil which the tree uses as plant-food?

While doing a session of pranayama breath infusion practice on Nov 15, 2015, Srila Yogeshwarananda came to check on the practice. As he was observing the energy in my psyche, a person emerged from a part of my subtle body. This one burst out of a bundle of astral cells and exited the form.

I recognized this person as the patron deity of frustration. Before that happened, I did not visually see this person ever in my psyche in this present lifetime. Srila Yogeshwarananda was not facing the direction where this person emerged. Yogeshwarananda felt a gush a wind as the person vanished and entered another astral dimension.

Srila Yogeshwarananda then looked at me for an explanation as to who it was. I told him that it was the deity of the frustration energy. He smiled. Sometimes a yogi notices that a deity of a certain energy leaves as the psyche. Some other time a deity of another energy may come into the psyche, or one deity may leave and another deity may enter at the same place.

Why did this deity of frustration leave?

It is because at this stage of this lifetime, there is no sense in feeling frustrated over anything. The ship will be scuttled. There is no doubt about it. It will not reach the destined port. It is going down no matter what. Its cargo will be enjoyed by the fish and the salt water.

Hence no sailor should feel that he can become frustrated in respect to anything. It is over. It does not matter if the mail the ship carries has good or bad news. When the ship reaches the bottom of the sea, all messages will be bleached out by the salt water. It is over. It is done. It is finished.

Whatever I was to do which I did, was done.

Whatever I was to do which I failed to accomplish, is also done.

The accounts are closed. The bankruptcy is declared. The business is not solvent or insolvent.

All responsibility for the ship is relieved of the captain once the vessel is scuttled.

Some cry: The captain was negligent. He did not pay me sufficiently. He did not credit me for services done.

Some give acclaim: He was the best skipper floating on the waves. He always treated me nicely.

Now, dishonor or honor, it does not matter.
