Sri Sathya is a God avatar for His devotees. He is a Spiritual Guru who commands massive following all over the world with his service and preachings. God, the Almighty is omnipresent and omnipotent. He has no beginning and also no ending. God is everywhere and is everything. But for many, it appears as if He is nowhere and he is not in anything. God is the love, the Power, the Truth, the wisdom and the Beauty. When you accept love, you accept God. The tender plant of spirituality can grow only in the field of love. It cannot thrive in the loveless land of human hearts. Remove all traces of salinity from your hearts. Water it with faith. Then plant the seedling of Divinity. Discipline is the fence and steadfastness is the pesticide to be applied. Then you can reap the rich harvest of Janna (wisdom), which will free you from the bonds of this physical world, as it is our temporary abode only. Those who laugh at people doing Bahamans (hymns) or visiting temples or attending Divine Discourses, have not tasted the nectar, and so hey are prejudiced against the devotees. Pity them as they do not know what they are missing. The good slogan is: “fewer luggages are more comfort for the journey’’. So also, Reduced desires, loosen attachments to worldly things, are more comfortable, for the ornery of life and you will be liberated. Remember: -The end of wisdom is freedom, -The end of education is character, -The end of knowledge is love. Without God, life is like a school without a teacher, It is like a wire with no electric current passing through it and it is a body without a Soul. God is in us, around us and beyond us. God is known by His manifestations in men, plants, animals, birds and in things and beings all around us. Ordinary people will swear that the earth doesn’t move at al, but it is moving unbelievably fast. God too is a reality, ever present in us and in every being, but we miss Him, as the movement of the earth. We have to infer God through proofs and evidences of His providence, His Grace, His Majesty and His Glory, as we do in case of … [Read more...]
Purpose of our birth on this earth
The purpose of human birth is realized only, when an individual gains spiritual knowledge, which puts an end to rebirth. Self –realization is the ultimate purpose of our existence here and it should be achieved before we leave this world. Liberation is not only the fruit of spiritual quest but also attainment of metal peace and eternal joy, even while living in this world. Remember always- human birth is a rare opportunity given to us by the Almighty, GOD and one should strive to realize this goal in this life, without wasting it just in materialistic pursuits. The first step towards reorienting oneself to this objective is to develop discrimination between what is essential, important and permanent what is not in life. This enables the seeker to remain focused, when his mind is swayed by sensory attractions of this world. The truth is only very people developed the urge to strive for liberation. In ‘’Bhagavan Gita’’ (song of God), Lord Krishna clearly mentioned, "Hardly one among thousands of men strives to realize Me’’. He also stated that ‘’of those striving Yogis (devoted persons), again, some rare one (devoting himself exclusively to God), knows Me in reality’’. This hard fact is difficult to swallow and also depressing, but this should be taken in the right spirit, for it is not to dissuade a person from striving for liberation, that the lord has said this. It is to reinforce that one that develops even some interest in spiritual life, must consider himself lucky enough and to strive more seriously. Many spiritual seekers start earnestly, but with so many distractions in worldly life, get diverted along the line. Hence the determination to persist till the end must be realized, seriously. Man should desire only that which would give him eternal joy-knowledge that liberates. It is such one pointed passion for realizing the objective that can bestow success in spiritual life. After training the mind to be discriminative, the spiritual aspirant must understand the nature of the ‘’Supreme Being’’. Bliss is different from happiness. Material … [Read more...]
