Plant flowers in the path of the one who plants thorns in your way! You will reap flowers while he will get the three pronged trident. Three shools - illness, agonies and accidents will automatically trouble him. Everyone says we do good, it's the others who are wrong. The external circumstances are bad what to do? So, O my dear, who is doing all the bad? Who can decide that? The right of this is with Nature only. That Nature, who is the birth mother of everyone, even God. The mother punishes children only to teach them something.
God is within us. If sitting within, he is only blaming others, this means that we have not found the God within. When we realise him, he is only a form of love, only love. The love that sees everyone with equality, samdrishti, will forgive everyone, like Jesus Christ said about those who crucified him – 'O lord forgive them for they know not what they are doing.'
Whosoever comes in our life comes to help us wash-off our karm and teach us something. Here we come only to learn from others, whether from their mistakes or their goodness. Do not deplete your energy by criticising. Analyse and take the pearl of wisdom, toil on it, experience it, and string it in the garland of life. This is making the divine within happy.
If there was no Kaiykayee, how could Ram be an example of devotion and obedience towards his mother and father. Learn from everyone and bless them, for if there was no one to give us sorrow how would we learn the lessons of forgiveness, patience and humility. Everyone says that they have imbibed these qualities but that is just superfluous because their real test is when there are problems and difficulties in front of us and yet we remain patient and do not get disturbed. Initially we have to do effort to be patient, and slowly it becomes our natural quality. If there are tests in life, then understand that the lesson has not been learnt fully, surely, there is something lacking somewhere.
Bura jo dekhan main chala
Bura na milya koye
Jo dil khoja aapno
Mujhse bura na koye
I went searching for a bad person, could not find any...when I searched my heart, I was the worst.
Nature is very benevolent, it wants to take us towards poornta, but we get swayed by the brain, use our energy to highlight the faults of others and blame our failures on others and circumstances. Every great human, saint, swami who has the power to show us the way also performed absolute penance, that is why Nature makes them deserving to impart wisdom to others. We can all become deserving if we accept the problems in our life joyfully and perform penance. Nature automatically empowers us when we try and root out our imperfection one by one.
True prayer is to concentrate on our shortcomings and ask the Supreme for shakti to eradicate imperfections. In doing this there is neither the need to leave worldly duties and take time out seperately nor the need to pray for hours in temples, masjids, churches, or to go to caves to do penance of dhyan yog. All these are fine in their own way, but they will fructify only when even in these places the philosophy is realised by praying for the welfare and good-will of all with a peaceful-pure sincere heart.
See the truthful, benevolent beautiful, satyam shivam sunderam form of Nature’s absolute arrangement. Obeying his parents, if Ram had not gone to the forest, how would he have prepared himself to fight Ravan. For fourteen years, away from family and political worries, he encountered problems in the forest, survived on roots and tubers, stayed close to Nature and contemplated on it. He gained so much strength that he could win over a powerful person like Ravan. Would he have got such power enjoying the spoils of his kingdom, Raj-sukh? For Ram ji who for fourteen yrs walked barefoot over thorny, stony paths arranging food as well as places to stay for himself and his dear Sita and Lakshman, this was a preparation for virtue to win over sin.
If mother Sita had not been accustomed to living in the jungle, how would she have spent her days alone amongst Nature in Ravan's orchards, and if she had not borne the pain of separation from Ram how would she have later nurtured Luv-Kush alone again, in the jungle? She did not register her sorrows, nor did she get disturbed. Pure like the Ganga, like the moon on Shiva’s head, Ram’s soul-mate, anupraan accepted the command of her husband with absolute surrender to that moment, gave poorn samskars to Luv and Kush preparing them for justice. She did not lose her self-respect.
An example of duty and embodiment of the power of self-respect, she preferred to dissolve into the Earth rather than give importance to Rajya-sukh.
This is Nature’s Law. She is preparing us for some or the other cause, our mind does not know it, we spend our time labelling the problems and pain given by her as suffering and sorrow.
Shri Krishn has stated in the Geeta that we should live each moment in surrender. Penance is to live in surrender. To live every moment fully using all our mental, physical capacities is human endeavour. Happiness, sukh pushes us towards laziness, the mantra to perform effort is imparted by sorrow, dukh. Bless the enemies for they keep us alert, by giving us food for meditation, dhyan and contemplation. Who would worship god, if there was no Satan? We say that God has given us difficulties and we complain to an external God that 'why did you do this?' So if the Supreme is within us, we are complaining, repenting and abusing ourselves. By indulging in this self-pity, we make ourselves weak. Love yourself, become capable of loving yourself only then can you give self-less love to others.
Now we have to fight falsehood. So similar to all wars which have specific rules for preparation, we need to ready ourselves. This preparation should be done by being truthful. There will be difficulties and stumbling blocks in our path but energy has to be attained by winning over these. Work on your truth. Leave the worry of others' to Nature!
The way to liberate humanity from the clutches of falsehood is true karm, satya karm. Love is the path to put one on the path of progress. The one who enhances is dearer to God as opposed to the one who criticises. Maa Bharati is entangled in chains of falsehood. Come let us prepare to liberate her. This is Natures’ call, the message of progress, the need of time, the call for the mahayagya of true karm. Contribute to it according to your capacity.
Good sankalps are themselves seeds of energy. As the mann, such the aspirations, such the oath, such the deeds, such the fruit of action. There is no duality in this rule, only light and more light.
Bharat bhumi mahan hai
Vedon ka pran hai
Yahi se hona vishv kalyan hai
Yahi Pranam hai
The land of Bharat is great
Is the life breath of the Veds
The world will be delivered from here
This is Pranam.
Pranam
Satyamev jayate...........Karm is Dharm.........Love never Fails!
