“Karma Pradhaan Hai”


Swamiji says –

This world in which we live during every lifetime of ours is our ‘karmabhoomi’. Everything that we see around us is nothing but ‘mithya’ … perishable and an illusion … but we mortals have complete and absolute faith in this false, illusionary world and act at times wilfully according to the different situations that life presents us with.

We must remember that we have to face the consequences and repercussions of every action made by us … good and bad … in this and our previous births. Hence , we have to be very careful and cautious … pause, think and reflect before we act.

It is when a devotee truly repents for his mistakes and seeks forgiveness for his misdeeds that a self – realized guru can come to his rescue and relieve him of his suffering during these agonizingly painful moments, by taking upon himself his devotee’s suffering and take him towards divine light as his good ‘karma’ warrants it.

We have to adhere to the simple principle that every good act of ours will enable us to walk the Right spiritual path and gain proximity to God.

SWAMIJI’S SANDESH… THE SPIRITUAL BOND BETWEEN A ‘SELF – REALIZED’ GURU AND A ‘TRUE’ DEVOTEE IS ETERNAL

Swamiji says that the spiritual cord that binds a self-realized guru and a true, faithful and loyal devotee connects them for eternity… is ever-lasting. A Guru keeps dispelling darkness from His true devotee’s soul, not only in this lifetime but transcends in the after-life too. 

The purity of the divine love that exists between a ‘sachcha sant‘ and a ‘sachcha bhakt‘ is not restricted to the physical body in this lifetime alone but is eternal, spaceless and timeless. 

*** A self realized guru, akin to Lord Krishna, continues to love, watch and take care of the spiritual welfare of a ‘saccha bhakt’… who has left this world … in the same manner in which He had taken care of him while he was alive. ***

The divinity of this love is difficult to comprehend but can only be felt and experienced as it touches the soul of a ‘true’ devotee.

The divine nature of this love… the strength of this unbreakable spiritual bond… is in no way affected by the passage of time, state of the body and the nature of space. It simply exists… is there… and can be sensed and experienced only by the ‘saccha sant’ and a ‘saccha bhakt’.

What good is a guru if he doesn’t deliver at the time of a true devotee’s death…!

Swamiji says…

MAKE PEACE WITH A GOOD, GENUINE PERSON EVEN IF HE IS IN THE WRONG

Swamiji draws our attention to the importance of winning over and befriending a good individual once again, who has drifted away from us, either due to a misunderstanding or a cause that has angered or displeased him.

Swamiji says… We meet different kinds of people during our journey of life. We bracket them in various categories… good, bad and not so bad, knowing very well that we shouldn’t be doing so. We all have the propensity to judge and discern the smallest speck in the other person’s eye, forgetting all the time that we have a log in our vision and will be judged by others at some point in time.

The time that we spend with each individual enables us to know the true value of each one of them and thus we should remember to leave no stone unturned in pacifying and soothing the ruffled feathers of a person… friend or relative… who we know is ‘genuinely good’… possesses all the traits that a noble soul should have… has always tread the Right path… never spoken the untruth… is the epitome of humility and goodness… but is angry with you. Can you afford to lose the company and friendship of a person who is blessed with such qualities ? A rare gem is hard to find in today’s day and age.

Win him over at any cost even if your ego orders you not to do so !

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 succour.
