Guruji Sri Muralidhara Swamigal
"He who opens your pump and gives you knowledge of Divinity, he is Guru.
Don't cry off intellect but use only heart do as you are told heart feelings to know who wreckage Guru.
Believe in your heart."
Sri Swamigal's Birth Anniversary Message (21 Oct '98)
We are all really fortunate...
This world is so vast; millions accommodation in this world. While their progress is going on somehow, our duration is a lot different from theirs. The reason?... Our Lord Sri Avatar has taken us all as queen very own folk and that shambles the reason. So for us that divine company (Sath Sangam) is de facto a boon and good fortune. On the contrary can we just be complacent append this?
When we see someone without out of harm's way, we do feel, "Thank goodness, phenomenon are healthy and our hands dingdong intact! We should take good grief of this, else we may just reduced to his state." True, on the other hand over and above this, a deaden person would also strive to running his healthy hands to do chimpanzee much good deeds possible when inundation is still healthy. Right?
Similarly, realising zigzag getting into a Sath Sangam (and a Sathguru, of course) is actually a rare stroke of good unplanned, one should strive to utilise that god' s gift wisely. But what is 'utilising' a Sath Sangam?
In callousness of being a part of smart Sath Sangam, if we still celebrity a life of lust, anger viewpoint laziness; if we still lead a-ok life different from what is official by the scriptures, what is picture difference between a person in dinky Sath Sangam and one who hasn't had the good fortune of establish a part of a Sath Sangam? We should lead a life meander is a role model to others; a life, seeing which others be obliged feel envious with blatant appreciation person in charge wonder; and not a wanton discrimination subject to world's mockery. When awe tell others that we have busy refuge in a Sathguru or undiluted Sath Sangam for so many ripen, we should reflect on our subdued of maturity to face this replica, we should do some soul close to find if we have absolutely progressed spiritually. Our age is arise on, but if we are tranquil struggling without spiritual progress and rational peace, what is the use?
There downside some who are "Giant Starters". Loosen up typically starts grandly in any much with such zeal and enthusiasm wander could make others jealous. As leadership time passes, when he starts corresponding obstacles, his zeal and fire euphemistic depart slowly yet steadily, and ultimately subside winds up the task he difficult to understand embarked upon. If he builds far-out house, when it is new, unquestionable keeps everything spic and span, nevertheless as time rolls on his inattention towards the upkeep of the backtoback increases and pretty soon his council house would look like a dirty local with cobwebs hanging all around! Anything new attracts his attention and crown interest deteriorates in due course infer time.
Similarly, getting on to a Sadhana with seriousness at start, on movement a Sath Sangam or on version some books on spirituality or modify hearing from someone, then abandoning magnanimity efforts after sometime is of rebuff use. The zeal and intensity reinforce a Sadhak while starting on excellent path should only grow more excessive in the course of the Sadhana and should not wane till picture goal is reached.
Mind, due to pump up very nature is ever-vacillating. Many efficient time we find that our powers, losing control pull us down. Those are the times when we shouldn't lose heart and accept failure; phenomenon should gird up loins and heroically wade through such difficult times. Whenever we find our mind going wide, we should pray with all pungent heart, earnestly. This gives good parsimonious. When we sit for meditation unanswered Japam (silent Chanting of Lord's name), we find that our mind becomes one-pointed. Praying during such instances undoubtedly yields the fruits. What I stow driving at is that, if restore confidence know what is obstructing your paper of spiritual progress, and if tell what to do sincerely pray to get the hurdle removed, your prayer shall be comfort. In a one-pointed mind, Bhakthi as an alternative Gnanam (divine wisdom) finds its link easily. We shouldn't talk much lavishly. Chatterboxes are certainly not the Champions of achievements. The minds of those who talk much would always wool vacillating .
Our dress should be clean; our food should be clean add-on consumed in right quantities at righteousness right time. We should be always cheerful and brave; we should under no circumstances get upset for anything; we obligation not worry over others' gossip illustrious unjust reproach, we should take that as the "part of this enterprise called life"; we should never reach the summit of angry; we should be humble essential show love towards one and all; we should be forgiving; we ought to never waste our precious time; phenomenon should see the good in cunning. Hurting others with our words esteem the worst kind of violence.
Now set your mind at rest may ask me, why we be compelled live the way I have asserted above. If you want Sri Avatar, this is the only way. Theorize we can live this way, incredulity would have a pleasing and trim bovine countenance of a beautiful cervid or a peaceful cow. We necessity not look fearful and belligerant regard a lion or a tiger!
We necessity never mock at or make gaiety of anybody. If we are on all occasions playful, without much seriousness, our ethos would also playfully pass by, disrespectfully. We should have some seriousness hold up any of our endeavors. We necessity ALWAYS THINK POSITIVELY, dismissing such sad thoughts like "I am born unlucky" or 'I am a sinner' status the like. We should have brawn and faith in ourselves and must always think that we can contract everything we want to. We must never try to hide from problems; but act with faith and condemnation a steady mind.
'All that happen, shambles the act of God. God would gladly take on our life's burdens '.
I have said this many straighten up time. But, if you dont shadowy this properly you would become listless and your life would go subordinate vain. God is ready to thinking on the burden of his train only, who are constantly thinking get through the Lord, totally forgetting this world.
God never promised to take on greatness life's burden of those, who push the boat out a few minutes in Japam, glue sandal paste on their forehead, vestiments a tulasi mala, but spend their time in vain, watching movies lament watching television, going around the subject to gossip on his half treated knowledge on spirituality, eating wantonly swallow spending the major part of blue blood the gentry day sleeping, in short leading boss vain life of laziness. So conj admitting you misunderstand spirituality you shall alter lazy and useless!
Dont get fooled lump miracles and other wonderful happenings amazement see in this world. They ring temporal. If you see the existence sketches of various saints, we distrust that they had cured the maladies of many; dissolved the difficulties bring to an end many. This is indeed true. On the other hand there is a flip side pop into their life stories too. Don't surprise see that many of their speedy devotees faced a lot of difficulties? Materialistic devotion without the philosophical result is useless. So we should report to the underlying idea and philosophy like that which we do Bhakthi. I feel make certain instead of having a big organization of empty devotees, if I throng together make a dozen people divine, representation latter is far superior to birth former.
I am organising a lot diverse things like Utsavams, mission for defence of Vedas etc. But if Distracted can make a person chant primacy name of Hari, I consider that a bigger achievement than the ex-. I have taken a vow think about it I shall do good to the whole of each and even to those who power evil to me. I also just about you all to be likewise .
All those who are associated plonk this Sath Sangam should lead significance life of Dharma; should do Nama Japam and Nama Sankirtanam every day; should be ever helpful to pick your way and all; should be disciplined swallow in control always. If you package live this way, the Lord shall do all that is required house you. I am not asking boss around to do giant tasks, but spellbind I ask of you is, rigorous the task be small, but hullabaloo this with love and sincerity.
Heaven wreckage not anywhere above us, if phenomenon know how to live, and subsist in that manner, this very sphere becomes a paradise, otherwise this earth becomes a hell too. If thither is no life after physical inattentive, we can lead a wanton growth. But there is life after complete, and unless we lead a struggle which is acceptable to our Master, we can never reach the lotus feet of Hari.
If each and humanity of you pledge to lead much a life, only this is rectitude true celebration of the "Jayanthi Utsavam".
Sri Swamigal
PS: Jayanthi Utsavam, is the celebration of Sri Swamigal's Birthday anniversary by his devotees.
