THE LESSON OF HELPING & SUPPORT

SWAMIJI’S SANDESH –

NEVER FORGET THE GOOD DONE FOR YOU BY OTHERS

Swamiji says … You must always remember the gesture of goodwill bestowed upon you by another person during times of duress and distress that are faced by you. Such acts of kindness must remain etched in your memory for ever.

A little help from any quarter … like a hand extended to help you, reaching out to do good for you during your state of helplessness and despair, especially when you had lost all hope and were engulfed in a morass of darkness appears to be a beacon of divine light and divine help.

You must not forget this humane act of , generosity and magnanimity and must remain grateful and indebted to that individual for ever as that gesture had prevented the world from crashing down on you.

The lesson of helping others and standing like a pillar of support by them, that you draw from such a benevolent act, should never be forgotten by you and, in a similar manner you should be a reservoir of solid support and selfless service to those who warrant help and succor.

AN INDIVIDUAL WITH ‘SPECIAL ABILITIES’ CAN ACHIEVE WONDERS

Swamiji reminds us of the importance of urgently changing the deep-rooted, pathetic fallacy that most of us bear towards the handicapped and physically challenged. The false, wrong opinion that has been formed about them that they are weak, helpless and dependent on others in every possible way does not hold much merit.

Swamiji laments that people mostly look at handicapped people with disdain and disrespect as they take it for granted that they are incapable of working in a skilful and able manner. The air of superiority and superficial sympathy that they exude for them wrenches their soul, despite it, they carry on with their lives with quiet dignity, grace and determination.

A physically challenged individual too has the ability to attain self-realisation when he lives a disciplined life, remains steadfast to the principles of righteousness and honesty, is unmindful of the barbs that are hurled at him and remains undettered by the obtacles that this cruel world lays down in his path. His inner strength to stand firm against all odds makes up for the physical strength that he lacks.

Do not under-estimate the indomitable will and firm resolve that God has blessed them with, which enables them to be better than the best.

Swamiji’s Sandesh – “DON’T LET GREED FOR MONEY BLIND YOU.”

Swamiji warns us of the bottomless crevice into which we can fall, headlong, if we allow greed for materialism to consume us. Insatiable desire for money, wealth and affluence can  blind u , unless and until we check ourselves.

Swamiji says – “You must remember that when animals realise that their stomachs are full, they do not hunt further but walk away from the carcass, and never hurt the other animals devouring it. Unfortunately, it is man alone who is unable to draw a line between need and greed and resist the temptation of wanting more. The glitter and sparkle of money makes him crave, pine and long for more constantly.”

You are living a life of delusion if you feel that you can please God with the abundant possessions that you have amassed in this lifetime. Remember, you need money to live a comfortable and secure life but at the same time it is also the root cause of all evil. Utilise this precious lifetime in devoting some time to God, and walk on the path of hard, honest labour.

Greed for money is an evil and it is not good for you. Learn to resist the vile bait of corruption by saying – ‘No. No more. I am content with what I have.’ You can certainly do it if you will to do so. 

My blessings to each one of you.

SWAMIJI’S SANDESH- “YOU CANNOT LIVE BY YOURSELF”

Swamiji says – At times people think that they can live and survive by themselves without depending on others.

Pause and reflect for a minute on the improbability of living solely by yourself. You will soon realise the hollowness of these claims if you are left to live by yourselves for merely a day. Are you not dependent on others for the fulfilment of your daily needs and requirements?

What about the food that you eat! Who is producing these crops and food-grains for you? What about your clothes? Who is manufacturing the garments that you wear? And your house? Where have the bricks and mortar been sourced from? Don’t you need a barber to trim your hair! Isn’t everything provided to you by others! You cannot stand for a single moment by yourself if it weren’t for the support that Mother Earth provides you with.

Elevated souls too were dependent on others for their sustenance and survival.

We should remember that we live in an itensely inter-connected world, and have a symbiotic relationship with each other!

Swamiji’s Sandesh – “BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU SAY”

thetreasuredivine22 Comments

Swamiji reminds us – Never question, ridicule or judge the devotion or love of a person for God by his simple, humble and unassuming demeanour.

It is possible that your inflated ego, powerful position and wealth could make you snigger at a simple looking person as you are unaware of the countless sacrifices that he has made for the welfare of others and walked with faith on the path of truthfulness and integrity.

Do not throw caution to the wind and make derogatory remarks about him as those very words will come to haunt you one day. Remember, you will unfailingly bear the consequences of the words said by you. Think before you mock others!

The person receiving your bitter, harsh words might never retaliate verbally as he is a good person, but the All Knowing, who is listening to you every moment, will, in His own unfathomable manner, make you realize, regret and pay for your mis-deeds.

Thus, always be careful of what you say!
