“Do not form a misconception about the role that you play in the lives of your loved ones. Do not give yourself unnecessary self-importance and be mistaken that things would come to a standstill , for everyone around you , if you were not there for them …”

"آپ اپنے پیاروں کی زندگی میں جو کردار ادا کرتے ہیں اس کے بارے میں غلط فہمی پیدا نہ کریں۔ خود کو غیر ضروری خود اہمیت نہ دیں اور یہ غلطی کیج  کہ اگر آپ وہاں موجود نہ ہوتے تو آپ کے آس پاس کے ہر فرد کے لئے معاملات رک جائیں گے۔ انہیں… "

"No se equivoque sobre el papel que desempeña en la vida de sus seres queridos. No se dé una importancia innecesaria y se equivoque de que las cosas se estancarían, para todos los que lo rodean, si no estuviera allí para ellos …"

Swamiji says…

“Man loves himself and it is essential for him to do so – as only then will he be able to care for others, love others. But the love and attachment that he develops for himself, at times, leads to the creation of an ego so huge – so humungous, that he starts believing that he is the epicenter of all that is happening around him and , if not for him , the wheels of time and the needles of the clock would stop turning for everyone he leaves behind. “Why should I not give myself importance? ” – he questions “After all haven’t I worked hard to reach where I am today ?” “Am I not providing my family with everything that they need ?” “Am I not doing all that I can for my loved ones?” He is of the firm opinion that since he is perpetually doing something or the other for them , all the time , what would happen to his family if something were to happen to him. The thought fills him with dread and worry. After all isn’t he the ‘ doer ‘? Their sole provider !”

“It is here that he needs to be aware of the harsh but – the fundamental truth , that the air of self-importance that he wears like a halo around his self – opinionated head , is but a bubble that shall burst , once he realizes that it is not he who is the ‘doer ‘ – but his Creator who is running the show. And that he is just a puppet in His hands, dancing to the rhythm of the divine music that has been composed by ‘Him’ – for each of his family member and for him. The moment he understands this , makes it the ‘mantra’ of his life and accepts this as the only reality – everything becomes crystal clear , and life becomes wondrous and simpler to live.”

“Each one of you must etch these words in your memory chip and do everything that you do with a sense of total surrender to His will. Do not live in a state of constant self – denial of His plan for you , in this lifetime , and anoint yourself with the titles that you would like to award yourself – ‘I am making things happen around me! ‘All that is happening is happening only because of ‘me’!’ ‘How will my family live if something were to happen to me?’ ‘What will happen to my parents, wife and children?’ ‘Who will take care of them?’ More than often you must have said these words to yourself and their deep , convincing resonance within you , would have made you believe in them all the more , without questioning the falsetto tone in their ring.”

” You are right to a certain extent in worrying about the welfare of your kith and kin , their future – in the event of something adverse happening to you , but then are you sure that it is ‘you’ who is taking care of them. Give it a serious thought and see if you can elicit an answer from within yourself. It is ‘He’ alone – your Creator , provider , the ‘doer-‘ who takes care of you and of all those who you love; and, in the worst probability of death snatching you away from your loved ones, ‘He’ will continue to take care of them ‘Himself’ personally, the way He has been doing ever since He willed you to be conceived in your mother’s womb.”

“The seeds of ‘I’ can branch into megalomaniac proportions if you do not keep yourself grounded and humble. You need to acquaint yourself, at the earliest, with the mindless faith that you have developed in the false insincerity of ‘I’ and ‘me’. This mindset is being utilised by you in both – your personal and professional life. You laud yourself repeatedly – “The project would not have shaped out so well if I hadn’t been a part of it! All credit goes to me for my commendable effort in making it perfect!’ It is here where you need to check yourself. All that has been achieved by you till date is a result of the plan that has been drafted for you by Him. The fact that you have been able to work hard and achieve what you have succeeded in doing so far is due to His blessings on you, and the dividends that you are reaping in this lifetime is because of your good ‘karma’ in the past lifetime.”

“‘Remember , ‘ He’ alone is the script – writer, the dialogue writer, the producer, and the director of the journey of our life and since ‘He’ has ‘created’ us , we become His responsibility and it is He alone who takes care of us in the true sense of the word – from the moment of our birth till our last breath.”

Swamiji’s message translated in Spanish

El hombre se ama a sí mismo y es esencial que lo haga, ya que sólo entonces será capaz de cuidar de los demás, amar a los demás. Pero el amor y el apego que desarrolla para sí mismo, a veces, conduce a la creación de un ego tan grande – tan humilde, que comienza a creer que él es el epicentro de todo lo que está sucediendo a su alrededor y, si no para él, las ruedas del tiempo y las agujas de la reloj dejaría de girar para todos los que deja atrás. “¿Por qué no debería darme importancia?” – cuestiona: “Después de todo, no he trabajado duro para llegar a donde estoy hoy?” “¿No estoy proporcionando a mi familia todo lo que necesitan?” “¿No estoy haciendo todo lo que puedo por mis seres queridos?” Es de la firme opinión de que ya que está constantemente haciendo algo u otro para ellos, todo el tiempo, lo que le pasaría a su familia si algo le pasara. El pensamiento lo llena de miedo y preocupación. Después de todo, ¿no es él el “hacedor”?¡Su único proveedor!”

“Es aquí donde necesita ser consciente de lo duro pero – la verdad fundamental , que el aire de auto-importancia que lleva como un halo alrededor de sí mismo – cabeza opinada , no es más que una burbuja que estallará, una vez que se da cuenta de que no es el que es el ‘doer’ – sino su Creador que dirige el espectáculo. Y que es sólo un títere en Sus manos, bailando al ritmo de la música divina que ha sido compuesta por ‘El’ – para cada uno de su familiar y para él. En el momento en que entienda esto , lo convierte en el ‘mantra’ de su vida y lo acepta como la única realidad: todo se vuelve cristalino y la vida se vuelve maravillosa y sencilla de vivir”.

“Cada uno de ustedes debe grabar estas palabras en su chip de memoria y hacer todo lo que hagan con una sensación de entrega total a Su voluntad. No vivas en un estado de constante yo – negación de Su plan para ti, en esta vida, y ununtándote con los títulos que te gustaría otorgarte a ti mismo – ‘¡Estoy haciendo que las cosas sucedan a mi alrededor! “Todo lo que está sucediendo está sucediendo sólo a causa de ‘yo’! “¿Cómo vivirá mi familia si algo me pasara?” “¿Qué pasará con mis padres, esposa e hijos?” “¿Quién se encargará de ellos?” Más que a menudo debes haber dicho estas palabras a ti mismo y su profunda resonancia, convincente dentro de ti, te habría hecho creer en ellas aún más, sin cuestionar el tono de falsete en su anillo.”

” Tienes razón hasta cierto punto en preocuparte por el bienestar de tu kith y parientes, su futuro – en caso de que algo adverso te suceda, pero entonces estás seguro de que eres ‘tú’ quien está cuidando de ellos. Piensa seriamente y mira si puedes obtener una respuesta desde dentro de ti mismo. Es ‘El’ solo – tu Creador, proveedor, el ‘doer-‘ que cuida de ti y de todos los que amas; y, en la peor probabilidad de que la muerte te arrebate a tus seres queridos, ‘El’ seguirá cuidándolos personalmente, la forma en que lo ha estado haciendo desde que os ha dado la incebida en el vientre de vuestra madre”.

“Las semillas de ‘yo’ pueden ramificarse en proporciones megalómanas si no te mantienes castigado y humilde. Necesitas familiarizarte, lo antes posible, con la fe sin sentido que has desarrollado en la falsa insinceridad de ‘yo’ y ‘yo’. Esta mentalidad está siendo utilizada por usted en su vida personal y profesional. Te elogias repetidamente – “¡El proyecto no se habría moldeado tan bien si no hubiera sido parte de él! Todo el crédito va a mí por mi esfuerzo encomiable en hacerlo Es aquí donde usted necesita para comprobar usted mismo. Todo lo que ha logrado usted hasta la fecha es el resultado del plan que ha sido redactado para usted por El. El hecho de que hayan podido trabajar duro y lograr lo que han logrado hacer hasta ahora se debe a Sus bendiciones sobre ustedes, y los dividendos que están cosechando en esta vida se debe a su buen ‘karma’ en la vida pasada”.

“‘Recuerda, ‘Sólo él’ es el guión – escritor, el escritor de diálogo, el productor, y el director del viaje de nuestra vida y como ‘El’ nos ha ‘creado’, nos convertimos en Su responsabilidad y es sólo él quien nos cuida en el verdadero sentido de la palabra – de la mamá ent de nuestro nacimiento hasta nuestro último aliento.”

“Being in a state of depression for more than five days at a stretch can prove to be harmful and dangerous. At times fatal too ! Shed it off as early as you can.”

 「一気に5日間以上うつ状態にあることは、有害で危険であることがわかります。時には致命的です!できるだけ早くそれを流してください。」 
`Ikkini 5-kakan ijō utsu jōtai ni aru koto wa, yūgaide kikendearu koto ga wakarimasu. Tokiniha chimei-tekidesu! Dekirudakehayaku sore o nagashite kudasai.'

URDU Language

مسلسل پانچ دن سے زیادہ عرصے تک افسردگی کی حالت میں رہنا نقصان دہ اور خطرناک ثابت ہوسکتا ہے۔ بعض اوقات مہلک بھی! اسے جتنی جلدی ہو سکے بہکا دو۔"

Swamiji says …

” The soul, which has donned our body in the form of a robe, is in a state of eternal bliss. Happy and at peace ! What is it then that makes us cause pain, grief and sorrow to the ‘physical being’ that encases our soul ?
Unhappiness, sadness, mental stress , tension ! All these words reek of negativity and pessimism – and yet, they rule the roost these days ! Depression is ubiquitous in today’s world. Positivity, optimism and cheerfulness are rare characteristics today ; happiness, joy and laughter are in short supply ! It appears that this world has become a morose place and we are scared to laugh. We are perfectly fine being sad and unhappy for hours on end , for days – and seem petrified of freeing ourselves from the shackles of depression. How can we laugh and be tension free , we wonder, when there is so much to be sad about ! With a mindset as negative as this , we do not need to look for any other way of punishing ourselves ! “

” Anything – just about anything can cause us depression. The reason according to us could be ‘excessive’ monitoring of our day to day activities , of our whereabouts – by our concerned parents ; the peer pressure of trying to be ‘cool’ could be taking a toll on us ; a reprimand by our boss and professional ambitions being nipped in the bud could appear to be the end of a dark tunnel for us ; the death of a loved one could leave us scarred forever ; heartbreak caused by a broken relationship could leave us devastated. But then can any cause , reason or excuse be greater than ‘ us ‘ – ‘our life ‘? The list can grow longer depending on our false perception and inability to deal with the twists and turns of life. Life can never be perfect and since most of us love echoing the dismal words , ‘Life is not fair ! ‘ – we end up convincing ourselves that we are the ones , in particular , who are suffering the most , in the game of life.”

” The smallest of things, events and happenings that shape out in a manner contrary to our expectations can trigger tension , negative emotions within us , whip up further mental turmoil and make us seek refuge in the gloom of dark, sad, unhappy thoughts. Nonsensical, meaningless notions that can cause us only anxiety – start giving us solace, and we deliberately allow them to reign supreme on our mind ; spend hours deliberating on them; reliving them and when we enter the most dangerous phase – the ‘dark’ phase of believing in them, accepting them and relating them with our life situations… and since we feel that we are a victim of circumstances, they gradually start making a home within us and before we know it, we have fallen prey to a disease that is taking an epidemic proportion now – ‘Depression’ !

“Depression lasting for more than five days at a stretch, can be extremely disturbing and a major cause of concern. Just try and visualize the ghastly consequence of the morbid , unhealthy, frightful thoughts that are being raised by us , day in and day out …regularly, albeit ironically, with great love and care. These macabre thoughts, unfortunately, start spreading their tentacles in the deep recesses of our mind very quickly and, at times, even when we want to free ourselves from their killer hold – tragically, it could be too late by then.”

“Nothing and nobody’s advise can make us see light and positivity during these days of suffering , that we have , in a way, brought upon ourselves. The people who meant the world to us, earlier, are of no relevance now, as we start blaming them for our ‘condition’ and the ‘situation’ in which we find ourselves. The false belief that our family can never understand us and that our friends are our foes , begin to gain an upper hand on our mind. Our logic, rationale and sense of reasoning are evicted out of the windows of our mind and we seamlessly and willingly , venture into the labyrinthine dark corridors of self-created hell, savouring every moment spent there. Is this what He had scripted for us ? “

“In our desperation to get some relief from despondency, mental trauma and mostly, self inflicted agony, prescriptions and medication come to our rescue and we start popping pills dime a dozen. They become our best friends and, before we know it , we are enslaved by them. Be cautious ! Be very careful ! The false sense of calm that these pills provide, tempt us to take a few more, and in a moment of crazed weakness, before we know it , the unthinkable can happen. Sadly, many a lives are lost , as young or old suffering with depression , at times , end up slashing their wrists or committing suicide as their level of depression increases with the intake of these so called ‘relievers’. Within a short time , a life is snuffed out voluntarily ; in complete consciousness – for no reason at all, leaving behind grieving families and friends. What a waste of a life that is gifted by God to us ! For a minute let us seiously think of a way of overcoming this problem. Rather than medication, is there any possibility that simple meditation … focusing on our Creator …getting connected with Him – seeking His Grace, could help in bringing about a change in our way of thinking…and pave the way for some radiance to brighten and light up our life? Could we try this out for a short period of time at least ? ”

“Remember…This life is God’s gift. He alone has the right to take it away from us. Nothing at all ! Neither high anxiety levels nor panic attacks, should overpower and weaken us to such an extent, that we are compelled to exercise our ‘free will’ to cut our life short by bringing it to an end abruptly. We will somehow or the other have to develop the strength ; draw it from deep within us, to fight the onset of depression , with all that we can. Believe me , we can do it . Uproot this tendency – the minute we see the slightest trace of this depressing disease, beguiling us with its illusionary escape routes. There are no short cuts in life and we, most certainly, do not have the right to cut it short.”

” Man listens to all that is true – the Truth and abides by it , but is unable to accept the complete, Real Truth…” “Insaan ‘satya’ toh sun leta hai , parantu ‘sampoorna satya’ nahi sun na chahata …”

Swamiji says …

” ‘Satya vachan bolo ! ‘ ‘Satya vachan suno’…’ ‘Satya ke maarg par chalo!’ These words are etched in our memory as our parents had constantly reminded us to be truthful and honest. They had emphasised on the importance of speaking the truth – only the truth ; cultivating friendship and spending time with children who spoke the truth ; imbibing their good habits and sound character. We were greatly influenced by the ideals and principles that our parents had ingrained in us and lived a disciplined life based on the foundation of truth and honesty.”

“But as we grow up, we either knowingly or unknowingly, transform into individuals who want to listen to ‘satya’ – ‘Truth’ that pleases us , appeases us and sounds like music to our ears. And nothing pleases us more than listening to words praising us , appreciating us and complimenting us. ‘Hum woh satya sun na chahte hain jo humein achcha lagta hai.” For instance – I somehow form an impression about myself that ‘I am good’ and my opinion about myself is validated further , when
people around me acknowledge the same and say – ‘You are good !’- How do I feeI then ! I am thrilled beyond words and feel very happy on being appreciated by them. But , on the contrary, if someone says to me – ‘ You could be better ‘ which is the real truth as there is room for improvement in me … ‘joh sampoorna satya hai’ – Lo and behold, I act as though the sky has fallen on me ! How could anything be wrong with a creation as perfect as me ! We develop an immediate dislike for that person and his advice, disapprove of him and loathe him for his unwanted sermon.”

“It is only if we stop seeing ourselves, for a fraction of a second, through rose tinted glasses, and understand that the good soul was actually trying to be our benefactor by trying to help us – by drawing our attention to our shortcomings , to improve ourselves in the best possible manner and turn into better individuals.”

” In order to rise above this lack of awareness and ignorance, we have to develop a big heart , the courage, the tolerance to listen to the ‘Real’ Truth when people say – ‘You are wrong!’ – when you are actually doing something against your ethics. It is during such moments that you must possess the grace to accept and correct yourself, when a person who cares for you, reminds you – ‘The path taken by you is one of dishonesty.You must retrace your steps from this path.” It is possible that if you are honest to yourself, you too can discern deep within your conscience, that your hands are stained with corrupt practices, and on understanding the sincerity of that person’s appeal , you can undoubtedly, change yourself for the better and turn into a new leaf.”

“None of us are strangers to ourselves and nobody knows us better than we know ourselves. We know ourselves in and out. The good and bad qualities that we possess … our strengths and weaknesses…
‘humare gun aur avgun’ – are very well known to us …but we are deliberately unmindful of our bad qualities, and rejoice in being what we our. If any person has the gumption to point out our flailing to us…to tell us on our face about our shortcomings , we are offended, hurt and are more than ready to hit him for doing so.”

” What is the reaction of a thief on being called a thief ? He refutes the allegation and vehemently resists wearing the title awarded to him by us ! He doesn’t like being called a thief, although that is exactly how he behaves in order to sustain himself. Stealing , robbing, cheating ! But , in hindsight, it is highly possible that he could be deeply affected by the distasteful manner in which people and society refer to him and he could work afresh, think on positive lines and make a new beginning on realising that the short cut that was being taken by him to make money was erroneous and , henceforth , the task of putting his house in order becomes his topmost priority. Thus ‘sampoorna satya’ – or complete truth can be elevating and uplifting for some”.

“Our behaviour , attitude and mindset, in our day to day life situations, about not being able to accept and absorb the complete truth, ‘sampoorna satya’ about ourselves as individuals , can be understood, as we are susceptible to human weaknesses…but what is beyond one’s understanding is – our inability to accept the only Real Truth about us , the Final Reality – ‘We take birth to die one day ! ‘ – ‘Jab janam hai, toh maran bhi hai!’ The words – ‘We take birth’ is a truth ; but Man seems to forget the complete Truth – that death is the only reality – and he lives life, as if he will live forever. A loved one could be suffering with a terminal disease and we know that his days are numbered , but we continue to give him false hope … ‘ ‘jhooti tassalli’ by saying that nothing will happen to him and all will be well and he will be fine. ‘Tum tab bhi us insaan ko satya se avgat nahi karva te ho ! ‘ Do you really think that you can provide him with ‘amrit’ – the nectar of immortality ? Can anybody evade death? Nobody – No saint, fakir nor angel can look death in the eye and say – ‘I will never die’.”

“You have taken birth to do good ! ‘Neki karne ke liye janm liya hai tum ne’. Thus your aim should be to lead a pure and honest life , to help and guide those who have gone astray – onto the path of goodness once again. The joy derived in understanding and accepting Truth , not in parts, but as a complete whole, in all its hues…black, white or grey, is worth experiencing as it makes life easier to understand and more enjoyable.”

“Jaisi sangat , vaisi rangat ! ” “The company you keep plays an integral part in influencing you, moulding you and making you what you are as an individual.”

Swamiji says …

” All of you are well – versed with the age old proverb – ‘Birds of a feather flock together’. I am certain that each one of you can relate , very closely, with the import and truth of these words, as at every stage of your life, you either willingly savoured the truth of these words as you benefited immensely or , were unwillingly forced to experience the negative essence of these words in their true context.”

” It is true that similar to the manner in which birds of the same species flock together , human beings too have a habit of making a beeline for people with similar tastes and interests. Very often , like – minded individuals with common goals, leanings and interests are drawn towards each other and derive great pleasure in spending time in each other’s company. This could be an ideal situation – but only when the net result of the time invested in each other’s company is fruitful and purposeful. The problem is when one willingly prefers to spend time with a person whose company is looked upon with disapproval, and can only bring about one’s downfall. At a juncture like this one has to be cautious and behave in a manner befitting one’s age.”

” If you recall the directive that your parents or elders often repeated … ‘achchi sangat mein raho’ – seek the company of good children – was, at times, not heeded to by you, and when you had the choice of either adhering to their words of wisdom or disregarding their good counsel – you opted for the latter. During your formative years, any such advice by parents is mostly looked down upon, and considered as intrusion in your privacy and you dislike them for doing so. Your parents are aware that their young and tender child – ‘ ek kacchi kali jiski daal kamzor thi ‘ – can go astray and ruin his future. Curiosity and inquisitiveness of a young mind to seek answers to questions which he is not mature enough to handle can send him wayward and he can easily fall prey to immoral and bad behaviour. He wonders what characteristics make some other children wear the badge of ‘being bad’? He too desires to be labelled adventurous at any cost. It is trite, but, true, that ‘opposites attract’ and you alone know how strong that pull is. It requires mammoth effort and grit of steel at this tender age not to fall into the trap of wrong – doing and worthlessness, as is rightfully and repeatedly, highlighted by your family members.”

” At times, you are influenced by such influencers as .. ‘How boring!’ ‘How passe’ it is – to be always called ‘good’ and how exciting and invigorating would it be to rebel just once !’ You decide to tread on the path taken by the crowd , join the multitude , venture into forbidden territories and deliberately associate yourself with a group that revels in indulging in illicit activities. The hours that were to be utilized by you in the library to gain more knowledge about your subjects, are whiled away in bunking college and cheating. The delusionary world of drugs and alcohol beckons you and you are willing to waste precious, valuable hours of your short life by living momentarily as the king of La La land. You try and convince yourself – ‘ What is the harm in trying these things just once? ‘ ‘ Nothing happened to the others ! What can happen to me ?” And before you know it, you are enslaved by this slow poison ! What will you gain by choosing to live a life that is addicted to substances ? Does your ‘soul ‘ which is always in a joyful state need any such ‘relaxers’ to stay happy and high?”

“It is the choice that you make at a young and impressionable age of flocking with the right peer group – at the right time – that holds you in good stead, throughout your life.You should be judicious while making your choice. You can walk away from all the negativity and ill – effects of drug abuse and instead gravitate towards a positive, inspired and motivated peer group who happily walk on the path of principles and values – ‘nek raaste park chalte hain ‘ and live an uncomplicated life , achieve the goal that they have set for themselves , maintain a fine balance between academics, sports, ethics, fun time and take out time to remember and thank God for enabling them to live a life that is purpose driven , fulfilling and worth living – and when they continue to live a life of good morals, they are not too far away from questioning the purpose of their birth.”

” There is a great difference between observing rituals and walking the spiritual path. Your aim should be to transition from a life steeped in rituals onto the path of spirituality – the only True path.”

Swamiji says …

” Our faith , our religion is determined the very moment we are born and it plays a very important role in influencing us and evolving us into individual personalities as we grow. The prayers said and sung by our family members in praise of God ; the manner in which the Almighty is worshipped by the elders of our family ; the rituals that are followed by them are keenly observed by us, right from our nascency, and we try our level best to emulate our parents and imbibe the teachings of all that our religion teaches and directs us to do. We, as children , find the ritualistic pattern very complicated in the beginning, but over a period of time, learn the art of performing the rituals that have been observed by the previous generations of our family.”

“It is extremely good to do all that you can do as an individual to portray our love and devotion for God…but whatever you do should be done with sincerity ; with a pure heart and without any expectations from Him. The love with which you weave garlands for your ‘ishta dev’ … ‘ishta devi’; the faith with which you conduct ‘katha” and ‘havans’ on auspicious days for your favourite deity ; the offerings that you make to God – should all be done with a pure heart. You should not be pretentious while serving God. No religious act of yours … no ritual performed by you should be coated with a selfish desire of benefiting monetarily or otherwise, but rather, performed reverentially with the intent of enabling you in establishing a personal rapport with God and to gain proximity with Him. ”Tum bhagwaan ke liye jo bhi karte ho , usme koi dhong nahi ho na chahiye…Sacche , saaf dil se bhagwaan ke liye har kaarya karo.”

” You try to tempt God , lure Him by offering Him gold … cajole Him to fulfil a long unfulfilled deisre of yours by making a financial deal with Him. ‘I will give you this IF you do that for me.’ Do you really think you can buy God ? And when things don’t work out the way you want them to .. then God really gets it from you. You curse Him , abuse Him, hold Him guilty for not giving you what you want…for not paying heed to your call … for not granting you your wish …for not giving you in return an equivalent amount of what you have offered Him as a bribe. Did He ask you to do anything for Him ? Does He need you or is it vice versa? Has He ever asked you for recognition in any way ?’ ‘Kya Bhagwaan ne kabhi tumhe kaha hai ki tum unhe maano ?’ It is you who needs Him…’Garaj insaan ki hai … Bhagwaan ki nahi.” You require Him. He does not ask you to take His name , remember Him. He has ‘devtas’ … demi-gods , ‘farishtey’ … angels to take His name and worship Him. ‘Jo ‘neeli chatriwalla’ hai …’sabka ‘maalik’ hai , unki aradhana karne ke liye sachche sant baithe huey hain’. He is not dependent on you for anything ? Would your barter system impress Him and make Him your subordinate and subservient to you ? “

“But the one and only thing in which He is actually interested and that would really make Him happy is when you make an earnest , honest and genuine attempt to draw Him within you …’jab tum apne andar Bhagwaan ko utaar te ho’ … and want to cleanse your soul from the layers of impurities that have nested on it .This is the only thing that He requires from you.But you fail to discern this simple requirement of His as you are busy blaming Him for every mishap or misfortune that takes place with you! Who has given you the authority and right to hold Him responsible for the hurdles, obstacles and difficulties that come your way and challenge you during your journey of life? Desist from doing so! You have the gall to question the Master plan that He has drawn out for you ? The irony is that you blame ‘He’ who has created you!You accuse Him of being careless and not taking adequate care of you! Have you ever thought for a second about His capabilities and compared them with yours ? Try making a grain of wheat ! Try creating a small finger! Can you do it ? You know you can’t. What you can certainly do is try to follow the path of ‘dhyaan’ , ‘gyaan’ and goodness – the spiritual path – that alone will make you realise that ‘parmatma’ is already seated in your heart and your foremost duty on becoming aware of this reality is to draw Him inside you , within you. When God sees your implicit trust in this path, He decides to guide you towards Him, free you forever from the cycle of life and death and finally makes you His.”
