My Dear Soul-mates,
God, devotee, Bhagawatam are all synonyms. Any
selfless action, any service is also Yagna (sacrifice). We can
deceive people but we cannot deceive God as He is the
indweller in our heart. No selfish person can dispel
body-boundedness. Hanuman is the true devotee - he has
conquered the sense organs, not only that, he has totally
dedicated the body and the sense organs to Sri Rama (the
God). Sri Krishna receives all your actions. He is the Receiver.
Perform your deeds without doership. The burden (ego),
submit it in the feet of God. (Retold by Valmiki in the
Ramayana).
While at home, enquire about who is this I, The
Individual I, The False I, who is enjoying this world ? Where
ego exists, everything exists like the world and happiness and
sorrow etc. You have enjoyed all the processions, the
sense-organs etc, but now the age is growing. The most
important is that the only one who is refined is respected. Life
teaches more lessons than school education. Everything is
destined. Do not weep and Do not cry. Experience every
situation and learn lessons from them, because it is prarabdha
(accumulated actions), by which old tendencies will get
washed away and new ones will not get built. When you
enjoy the prarabdha (the accumulated actions) like the most
relished sweet ( paayasam), then it will not get repeated in the
next births. Constantly chant the Holy name, do not get
diverted. Do not fear death and do not weep for death. Like
the cow licks all the dirt of the baby-calf, so also Guru(saint)
licks all the faults of the devotees and blesses him with
knowledge, God (Narayana) is the indweller in your Heart, He
is the bestower of the fruits. The day you realize that you are
eternal, birthless and deathless, that itself is your last birth.
You cannot enter into your Heart with all the external
stuff, enemies, i.e. desire, anger, qualities etc. The devil(ego) is
the one who enjoys everything in the world. Who is your
husband, son, sister, mother-in-law, all the relatives are only
to the body, created by the mind, when the mind is subdued,
nothing remains . You do not belong to anybody and nobody
belongs to vou. Any human love is conditional and no human
being can be your well-wisher. The urge to know God should
be so intense that you cannot live one minute without Him. I
am(God) your friend and friend of the whole creation. I am
(God) your well-wisher and the well-wisher of the whole
creation BUT you don't recognize Me and you don't identify
Me. When you know Me Hear and Now you will become one
with Me. We think and desire too but our Will does not stand,
only God's Will prevails. We should learn lessons from Life.
The master, The owner, the indweller is in your Heart, He is
omniscient and omnipotent. He makes you sit and stand
wherever He wants. Without God's ordain nothing happens,
Destiny is very cruel. It is strengthful. It does not listen to
anybody. Do perform virtuous deeds but do not expect the
result. Slowly, the mind gets controlled and then dead. Be
even-minded in every deed and dedicate every deed to God.
When you hate somebody do not forget that God exists
in Him. Don't hate anybody, hatred, jealousy, envy are all
great enemies, you cannot experience self-knowledge. Have
you ever Known or experienced Self-Knowledge? Without
eligibility and ability it cannot be known. Only from desire
your wishes will not get fulfilled* Everything happens only
when destined. Everything happens according to His will. Do
perform your duty as a tool in the hands of God. Arjuna was
a great warrior and a great friend of Krishna too. He also was
an instrument in His hands. Learn to help for when you help
somebody your mind gets refined. When you experience the
self, all karma (actions) will get burnt.
Attachment also is a part of prarabdha (Accumulated
actions), likes and dislikes, wealth, Money, power etc are all
prarabdha. These are all different. These are all unreal. Do
your duty and Remember Me and after that also Remember
Me (God). Don't keep your mind, Remember God and Do not
associate with non-devotees. Do not tell only your woes,
Listen to others' woes too. Remember the name and form of
God, you will forget the mind and sense-organs. Lord Rama
is great, He forgives and gives salvation also. He knows only
to give. Rama possessed tolerance like Earth. Rama Name is
the best for the control of mind and sense-organs* If your
mind focus is on God, it will forget the sense-organs. When
you control the mind, nothing exists. True devotion means
unconditional surrender. In deep sleep state, mindless,
bodyless, Godless, Everything less state remains, That is
Absolute knowledge, In wakeful state, I arises and everything
arises - This is Relative Truth and knowledge, unreal, In
Dream state, after awakening everything is unreal, Happiness,
grief problems are all unreal. Try and get purified. Try, Make
effort now, No Outsider will come and do it for you, Try for
your progress, who will do it for you? Work hard, you
yourself have to do it. Everything - is in the mind. Repair it,
enlighten it. Common-sense and moral-sense is essential.
Concentration, purification, positive thinking, right thinking
and no wrong thinking are required. Nobody will help you,
you help yourself. Mind is your best friend and relative too,
Therefore cleanse it, purify it. Do it Now, when will you do
it then?
Tolerance, more and more Tolerance .Associate with
saints and Be in Holy company. When there is unrest in your
mind, you cannot find peace anywhere outside. After death
will anybody accompany you? When the body is not yours
what else can be yours? If I don't like to leave the body, the
body will leave me. ‘I’ 'mine' are in the mind. Any
crookedness in the body does not bring unrest. But
crookedness in the mind should be removed for it causes
unrest. There are imperfections in the mind. Everything is
God's Leela, Maya, Play, drama. He makes us play. Pray to
God (Govinda) to dispel this ‘I’, ego, become you only have
given it and you only take it, it cannot be removed by my
effort, enquiry or intelligence. We are not able to bear the
prarabdha (Accumulated Actions ), Please God Bless us and
help us, For you it may be play, your mercy and compassion
is everywhere. Awaken us from darkness to Light. For
acquiring knowledge the only capital required is intellect,
dedication, dispassion and discrimination.
Sleeplessness makes one weak. Observe the Breathe in
and Breathe out process, you wrill get sleep. Read the first
page of your favorite epic, you will get sleep. Remember
someone who is close to your heart, you will get sleep.
Remember God and chant the Holy Name, you will get sleep.
Never take sleeping pills.
Krishna lived like God, Rama lived like Man. The mind
gets polluted if you look forward for the results. You become
equal with God when your mind gets purified. By chanting
the Holy Names, Achyutha, Anantha, Govinda, Kesava,
Madhava, Narayana, the mind gets purified.
LOVE TO YOU PEACE TO YOU
THANKS TO ALL
