Our Guru!

thetreasuredivine3 Comments

He who has spent his entire life in a simple 4-walled room… who is unable to walk… who has happily given up whatever he earned in his life for the betterment of others, and who has smiled through all of life’s hardships… is Our guru our Lord who has always taught us by example! 

He has bestowed his unstinted grace on all his devotees without ever accepting a single grain from anyone! He has only ever given and never taken – Our extremely beloved Guru! We earnestly pray to you to let our hearts brim with love for you ceaselessly. Our ever merciful Lord – our humble Pranams at your loving feet!

सत्य की विजय

जहाँ गाय होती है वहाँ राक्षस जरूर आता है, लेकिन वहाँ गाय की रक्षा के लिए, उसे बचाने के लिये श्री कृष्ण परमात्मा भी आते है । तातपर्य यह है कि जब कोई इन्सान नेकी के रास्ते पर चलता है तो उसमें अनेकों विघ्न आते है फिर भी हमें सत्य मार्ग पर ही चलते रहना चाहिये ।परमात्मा नेकी का ही हमेशा साथ देते है तथा सच्चे इन्सान को अपने नजदीक रखता है । सत्य की सदा जीत होती है ।

State of Mind

One day while imparting knowledge to us Swamiji said, “What exactly does a person converse or talk about with another person ?” He further said , ” A person mostly talks about the thoughts that are on his mind and the emotions that reign supreme in his heart at that particular moment of his conversation. Thus , if he is sad or unhappy he expresses his sadness, unhappiness and in a way makes the listener…the receiver of his unhappiness. If he is depresed, he talks about his problem with the other person making the listener also feel depressed.                On the other hand, if one is happy and in a joyful state, he makes the person listening to him also feel the same….joyful and happy. Hence, the speaker becomes a distributor of the thoughts and emotions that govern him at that particular moment. Our thoughts and  emotions , whether positive or negative, have a similar effect on the people around us , from the smallest unit viz.a family….to the largest unit viz. society. Such is the power of your thoughts and emotions ! In which state should you always be ? “Depressed or happy ?”……                                 While reflecting deeply on Swamiji ‘s words later I was filled with guilt as we, inspite of being Swamiji’s devotees , at times , draw great comfort in remaining unhappy and depressed. Our Gurudev has blessed us with good health and everything we need and desire. In comparison, Swamiji continues to spread happiness, joy, cheer , positivity and optimism , irrespective of the physical ailments that He is suffering from due to the karma that He has taken of His devotees.  Shouldn’t we always remember that as His torch – bearers it becomes our foremost duty to stay happy, calm and cheerful in all situations and spread joy everywhere , all the time , keeping depression and unhappiness at bay, aware of the fact that we are affecting people around us with the same  emotion that we experience ?  Stay happy and keep others around you happy is Swamiji’s simple but extremely relevant message.

हिसाब-किताब

ज़िन्दगी का दूसरा नाम संघर्ष है| निरंतर, अविराम चलने वाला संघर्ष| परंतु उससे भी बड़ा संघर्ष है हर स्थिति और परस्थिति में खुश रहना|
हर सुख और दुःख में समभाव रहना| सदा अपने आप को यह याद दिलाते रहना कि वो नीली छत्तरी वाला  सारा हिसाब-किताब रख रहा है, पुराना भी और नया भी| कभी जीवन से हार मत मानो|
किसी का बुरा न सोचो, खुश रहो और दूसरों को खुश करने की कोशिश करो, क्योंकि हम नहीं जानते कि कौन किस दौर से गुज़र रहा है! ठगे जाओ पर कभी किसी को ठगो मत| सत्य के लिए लड़ो परंतु अपनी विनम्रता मत छोड़ो| संघर्ष करना मत छोड़ो| जो यहां (जीवन में) हार गया, वो वहां (जीवनोपरांत) क्या लड़ेगा?

Discipline & Routine!

Swamiji often tells us how important it is to be disciplined in one’s life. He emphasises on following a routine no matter how simple it may be. Continuity, especially when it comes to spiritual matters, proves immensely beneficial in the longer run. Meditation, for example, is one such thing that just keeps getting better and better with time. Sticking to a 10-15 minute routine too, gives astonishing results sooner rather than later. Chanting or repetition, of any mantra or ritual should also be a disciplined and dedicated act. To expound this further He once told us this motivating anecdote that we’ve shared below.

******

“Once upon a time there was a devotee whose day started with offering water to Sun (Surya Dev), as obeisance. 40 years passed and he never ever even once missed or forgo his routine ritual. Once he fell severely ill and was unable to wake up at his usual time. Nonetheless he got up when he could, and just as he began moving towards the window to make his ritual offerings to the Sun, his wife informed him that it’s a gloomy cloudy day outside and that he may not be able to make the intended offering. He looked at her, smiled and said – ” For the past 40 years of my life, every morning I have waited patiently and lovingly for HIM ( the Sun ), I’m quite sure He’s waiting as eagerly for me today.” Just as he said that, the clouds parted and the Sun smiled down upon him, shining a million times brighter, as if reconfirming what the man already knew. Such is the power and such is the beauty of discipline. Add to it a bit of love and devotion and lo! you have the perfect recipe for bliss!”
