Liberation of The Life
LIBERATION,
THIS LIFE
All devotees of God are supposed
to be liberated in this life. Man takes human birth millions of time to become spiritual;
after becoming spiritual, they reach God man as par law of karma so that they
can have liberation and merge in God. This is the goal of life as declared by
scriptures as well as by God man .Individual soul, in form of Jivatma, like a
river is supposed to merge in supreme soul,
God who is the ocean of consciousness. If not, man has to take rebirth again
and again and suffer immensely as this is the world of illusion; all temporary pleasures
are alternating with pain too. As fish can’t live long without water,
individual soul also can not live in peace without merging in God from whom he
originated.
To reach that state of mind when
God takes complete care of us is through devotion-love for God. For sustaining
love of God, we require some knowledge too. Baba advised us so many things, but
devotees are not following those injunctions strictly as they do not know the
reasons behind. It is our task to explain such advice so that people may follow
and get the benefit out of it. For example, Baba said, ‘ T.V. is T.B”. It means
television is like the disease tuberculosis, a degenerative disease which kills
people. Many years back, a study was done in Chennai, diabetic clinic by Dr.
Mohan and they found prevalence of diabetes in children is more among those who
see television for long hours. Recently, one major study in USA declared that
those who see television more than 4 hours par day have more chances of sudden
heart attack, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer. Is not it enough for
devotees to learn the justification of Baba’s scientific statement prohibiting
television for us from those scientific data. It is commonsense that like junk food,
television serials and films are polluting our mind by feeding us mental
garbage of all nonsense. More perverted things are shown there than educative
stuff. Young mind is more vulnerable. Hindu religion says, man attains next
birth according to his thought at last moment of his death. Just imagine an old
man dies while seeing vulgar dance in television. Will he be liberated even if
he thought himself as a devotee of God? God wants full time devotion to
liberate people from bondage of birth and death. Baba also advised his devotes
not to take alcohol, drugs and tobacco. These are poisonous and lead to so many
diseases like cancer. Cause of cancer is mostly related with alcohol and
tobacco use. Baba advised all to shun meat and fish. Antibiotic given to
animals goes to people who take the flesh and infection by those resistant
organisms in meat may give rise to chronic ill health. Preservative in non-veg
food may be carcinogenic, thus increasing rate of cancer. Fish exposed to
nuclear fall out due experiment under water and nuclear spill out as happened
in Japan Tsunami contaminate fish with nuclear radiation, thus inciting cancer
among people who take it.
Baba said, there is only one religion
that is religion of love. But fight is going on in name of religion all over
the world. Let all devotees learn how all religions is one in spirit. Jesus was
in India from 15 years to thirty years of age. Read the book, “Jesus lived in
India “by Holger kersten. He learned Sanskrit and Pali. His Guru in Himalaya
was Mahavatar Babaji about whom you may learn by reading “ Autobiography of a
yogi” by Swami Yogananda. Babaji in form of Haidhakhan Baba disclosed to Shanti
Mataji that He initiated Jesus to Kriya Yoga while he was with him in
Himalayas. Mahavatar Babaji is the incarnation of Lord Shiva. One of Swami Yoganandas
Christian disciple Swami Kriyananda wrote in his book. “ The path --Autobiography
of a western Yogi “ that those three
Eastern wise men who visited Jesus after his birth were Mahavatar Babaji,
Lahiri Mahasaya and Yukteswar Giri in their astral form. They went in form of
light and materialized themselves in front of Jesus. If you read “
Autobiography of a Yogi” you will find such things seen in Benares, India by
Ramgopal Majumdar, one disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya. Jesus foretold Sai Baba’s
coming by saying to his disciples, “He who hath sent me will come back again”. He
pointed his finger to lamb when they asked how people will know him. Sound of
lamb is “baba”. All these show how Christianity is so close to Hinduism. Swami
Vivekananda said, “A true Hindu is a true Christian, a true Christian is a true
Hindu, a true Moslem is a true Hindu.” But misinterpretations of religion by
some of its leaders are making all mankind fight on religion. We should make
people understand that, there is only one religion, religion of Love as Love is
God. Even tomb of Jesus and Mother Mary are in Rosabel, Kashmere,India. . Now, let us see how Hinduism and Islam are
connected so closely. Both are praying to same God Lord Shiva. In Kaba mosque,
it is Lord Shiva whom they pray. Only, they changed the name, they call it,
Sungay Aswad. In this context I remember one true story. Once one Iranian lady
got interview with Sai Baba and asked Baba to give her one memento. Baba
materialized one Shiva Linga and presented to her. She objected saying it a
Hindu symbol, Baba said, “what is there in Kaba Mosque,it is same Shiva linga only”.
She told others and I came to know that way. One saint told me that one Moslem
who was serving Kaba Mosque for more than 12 years took photograph of that
Shivlinga of Kaba Mosque and did not understand the inscription on that
Shivlinga. He left kaba and became a Christian and wrote a book on that issue.
When he went to Germany in search of the meaning of the line which was not in Arabic,
he was told that it is Sanskrit language and the sentence is “ Ohm Namo
Shivaya”. Because terrorist Moslems do not know all these, they are ready to
destroy India and other non-Muslim countries. If you read the book, “ I am harmony “by Ghana shyam, who was a lawyer of
Washington D.C by his Christian name
Charls Swan, you will find one Moslem of Mecca came to India in search Of
Babaji of Himalaya; at that time Babaji was in house of Shammi kapoor,film actor
of Mumbai,India. Shammi Kapoor’s wife asked him, “How you know Babaji as you
are from Mecca?” He replied,” every 12 years, there takes place a secret Moslem
meet of highest order in a hill near Mecca and there Babaji is the chief
guest”. He saw Babaji there and developed reverence for Him, so he came to
India to meet him. He came from Mecca without taking any food with vow of
seeing Babaji first and so he refused the glass of water given to him by Shammi
kapoors wife. As this was reported to Babaji, Babaji permitted her to call him
inside. This book may be available in Google search; you can read it for
yourself. Muhammad also predicted coming of Sathya Sai Baba by his prophesy on
Mahdi Mood . All points written by Muhammad tallies with Sai Baba. Muhammad
advised all Moslems to come to Sai Baba.In Koran,it is written,” La illala ha—“
meaning, there is only one God. If all
Moslem believe this main sentence of Koran, this world will be a heaven. Some
of the religious leaders of Islam say, by name of jehad, Hindus and Christians
are to be raped, killed etc. If only one God, then both Christians and Hindus
were also created by same God, then all are brothers. Muhammad said in Koran”
respect other religion”. Those isil terrorists spreading all over the world are
not believing Islam in its true spirit and want to convert whole world, even
killing moderate good Moslems also all over the world. You may remind all good
Moslems to come forward and stop terrorism as Bangladesh Moslem leaders did
recently; sending Fatwa against terrorism, suicide for killing etc.
Lord Shiva unites all religion. Recently, one
Hindu lady saint declared that Jesus has merged in Lord Shiva. All these show
that all religion is one in spirit and we should love all and serve all as
advised by Baba. By the way, Indian Moslems were all converted from Hindus only
to save their life from most anti Hindu Moslem kings who invaded India ;history
testify to it. When Guru Govind sing’s son refused to get converted to Islam,
he was killed mercilessly by Aurangzeb. Ordinary Hindus got converted to Islam
with out any resistance due to fear of life. After getting converted, they
forgot their fore fathers and now a lot of them hate the Hindu religion. One of
my Moslem classmate confided to me that all family titles recorded in their
family history are Hindu above his grandfather. Mankind should not forget the
history; original meaning of history is His story. Let me come back to Baba’s teachings.
Baba said, “Do not take bribe and
do not give bribe” But people are corrupt and doing that rampantly as they do
not know the law of Karma. Cause and consequence, deed and destiny are
scientific facts. Newton described it in physics. As a devotee of God, all
spiritual people should refrain from doing such wrong things. If men commit
such mistake, men may not get human birth even in next life but life of animals
like dog, pig etc. Let me tell you one real story. I was sitting in Kulwant
hall of Sai Baba ashram, Puttaparthi, one Australian doctor was sitting by my
side and he told one of his interviews with Baba to prove Baba is God. He told, he got interview with
Baba. He asked Baba to bless him so that he can win one court case in Australia
where one Crore rupee was taken from him by his manager to start a business but
he was cheated. Case was to get back that money from his ex-manager. Baba did
not bless him to get the money; rather said, “I am very happy that you lost
that money”. The doctor wanted to know the reason why Baba said so. Baba told
him that he was a priest of a temple in Tamilnadu in his last life. And he used
to take money secretly from temple fund which was given by devotees for cause
of temple. After knowing this, he did not contest that case in Australia. This
highlights law of Karma. But now, so many government officials and others in
charge of temple are taking public money given for the cause of God and earning
awful bad karma for which they have to suffer in next life if not this life.
Our Sai Baba devotees and all devotees of lord should know law of karma and
should not do such crimes. Baba inspired me to write this and so I am writing.
Temples should not be taken by government so that spiritual people of temple
trust run the show of spiritual and social activities of temple with Dharma. Kindly
teach law of karma to young generation so that they can be liberated.
Some devotees may think that they
have done some wrong deeds, what will happen to them. God is merciful; if man
repent and accept injunctions of scriptures and words of God man in their
life and practice it; they may be
forgiven by Grace of God, thus karma will be attenuated, may be deleted also.
It is never late to surrender to God; any amount of sin of last life and this life
can be forgiven by God if man strives in the path of truth by loving all and
serving all. By the way, to know how to get conscious liberation from human
body as Yogis do, read - Bhagavatam.
Baba cured so many diseases of
millions of people, even cancer by saying,” Your cancer is cancelled” why?
Because he wanted his devotees should live longer with good health to do more
good actions, righteousness or Dharma, so that they can be liberated from
disease of repeated births. But most people have no gratitude and revert back
to their old bad habit of malignant thoughts, ill will against others. That’s
why Golden age is coming late which Baba declared in 1999. Denmark is the
happiest country and India is 118 in the list as declared in March, 2016.Not only,
India, whole world devotees of God should tread the path of truth so that whole
world becomes nuclear bomb free world, peaceful world to live. We must bring
Golden age when all will be liberated from shackles of ignorance and bondage
even while alive.
For Liberation this life, man
should not have any fear of death. If man dies with fear, he is to take birth
again to live out the object of fear. To make devotees fearless, God advocated
us to put Vibhuti on forehead. Vibhuti signifies the end of human body, when it
is burned in Hindu system, it becomes ashes. So, by putting Vibhuti,we remind
ourselves that we should not take living body again like ashes where no life is
there. Putting Vibhuti also encourages us to burn out all our petty
desires and attachment; to remind us that Baba advised us to put Vibhuti on forehead.
For liberation this life, we have to rise our Kundalini power to higher center,
that region of forehead where we put Vibhuti is having Agna chakra of Serpent
power ;so igniting that place by putting divine ash there, we indirectly aspire
to develop intuition of truth. That way,
we defeat devil or ignorance. Vibhuti reminds us that death may come any time
and ask us, are we prepared for that? This is called Mrithuchinta-contemplation
on ultimate result of human existence, which in turn makes us wiser in
spiritual advancement. Our next life depends on what we think in last moment of
death. If we do not think of divinity or chant name of God from now onwards, in
time of death, good thoughts or thought of God will not come. To make us
habituated to divine thoughts, Baba advocated Vibhuti on forehead. It also teaches--
unity is divinity. If people put vibhuti, other people, who are also devotees,
feel unity among themselves. A trade mark of God is putting Vibhuti on
forehead. That way, one devotee learns who else’s are also devotees, so that
they can interact in time of need as part of social help. Modern youths ask, why
Sai Baba devotees put Vibhuti, you can tell them all these. Reading spiritual
texts or hearing while other tells also help immensely in spiritual advancement.
That’s why, chanting of Bhagavata,Ramayana,Mahavharat,Gita etc were so common in earlier days. I recommend
some books for youths so that they develop insight into human life. Read books
on Sathya Sai Baba, Sai Satchritamrit,by Hemant pad,a book on life and teaching
of Shirdi Sai Baba; Gita; “Autobiography
of A Yogi” by Swami Yogananda; “ Gospel Of Ramakrishna” by Sri M; books written
by Mother of Pondicherry; ‘Awaken Children” by Mata Amritanandamoyi of
Kerala,India. Remember if man is to evolve, he must be alone with himself. It means,
one should be introvert for higher reasons; not extrovert. Extroversion; Smartphone
and internet friendship makes energy loss and restlessness. Remaining alone
conserves energy to pursue higher realms of life. Animals have total body consciousness,
we are human beings, and we must have God consciousness; that make us more
powerful instead of remaining at mercy of nature. A spiritual man can decide
his course of life; ordinary man is at the mercy of his fate or simple destiny.
Grace of God can change any negative destiny. So we need spirituality in this
life thus getting liberation from chronic disease of repeated birth. Is not
human life full of sufferance!
In time of Shirdi Baba,he used to
ask for Dakshina[donation of little money],what for? It is to teach us
nonattachment. In Hindu society, when Brahmin do some worship for benediction to other devotees or perform
marriage ceremony, worship of different forms of God for some material and
spiritual benediction, people give some dakshina in form of money or material.
This giving inspire us to develop non attachment to material possessions and it
also help survival of those Brahmin priests who have to survive to confer
religious benefit to other people who
need their service. Money is to be circulated to confer benefits to more
people.
Suppose, some rich fellow donate
money to spiritual organization like Sai Baba trust or any other spiritual
trust who utilizes money to serve people; then he earns some good karma as his
money help some needy and deserved one. That action helps him to get
liberation. That’s why kings were donating a lot of property to Brahmins and
other good people. By Brahmin, I mean spiritual people. If we donate money to unworthy,
we earn bad karma. Jesus said, “do not throw pearls in front of Swain, that will trample
it, and come back and rend you.” Matthew 7:6;Bible. Do not tell about God
man to bad people.
Beware of intelligent people;
they are double edged weapon. They can destroy mankind or serve society
constructively. Intellectuals and so called intelligent people are lacking in
common sense. That is the tragedy infesting present generation of mankind. Such
people are not getting liberated mostly; that’s the reason, I am writing this
article to remind them what they should do. Intelligent people are to be taught
law of spiritualism; mostly law of karma; that way, they won’t harm mankind.
Wise people and devotees of God who are reading this article are requested to
render that social service. Educated and intelligent people are more dishonest
now due to lack of knowledge on law of karma. They do not know that what wrong
they are doing now, they have to pay it with compound interest in later life or
in next life. I have a true story to authenticate my statement.
That incident happened some 20
years back in Nepal. One young employee of Nepal kingdom went to a village area
in connection with tax collection. Village elders reported about their tax
giving plan etc and served him lunch; after which he was sleeping for some
time. After that, the employee was supposed to come back by horse riding. Suddenly,
village elders observed that the young man was rattling and his respiration stopped.
They were worried about whom to inform, how to inform that such government guy
died in their village; police may suspect foul play etc . After his death, he
saw two black dressed agent of Lord of death Yama were dragging him through dry
sand flogging him constantly saying that he was a thief; cunning, selfish, cheated
so many people and so on and so forth but all allegations were denied by the
young dead man throughout. When those agents made him enter the court of Yama; the
main official observing the denial of the young man; shouted,” Return him; he
is not the person I told you to bring; the old man of the same village having same
name is the culprit. This young man belongs to other village, he went on duty
there. You made great mistake. Send him back.” Almost after one hour, suddenly
the dead man woke up and asked why so many anxious people were around him. Exactly,
same time, those villagers heard crying spell of relatives of that old man who
was a real cunning guy. They got the news of death of that old man having same
name as the visiting young man. That young man related that story to a saint of
Nepal who was a Sai devotee. The saint did not believe it and took the address
of that village where such incident took place. After few days, that saint went
to that village by walking after some bus
rout and confirmed the incident; one woke up from dead and other dying
at the same time ; both having same name. That saint told me this story when I
went to Nepal and was doing satsang with him. He used to come to Puttaparthi
also and I met him in Puttaparthi so many times. May I remind all devotees of
God that they must have done a lot of good actions in their past lives to
become a devotee in this life! Devotees of God are not ordinary people. They
can get liberation from repeated cycle of forceful coming and going from this
earth. A liberated soul can take rebirth to do good karma; to stay near
incarnation of God, or with their Guru or to do some more spiritual actions;
they come voluntarily by choosing their own parents.Nothing is predictable.
Nobody knows what he will be in next life. Little mistake, one may slide back
to animal birth as happened to two Shirdi Baba devotees; one became snake and
the other became frog. Why take risk; this life one has reached God man like
Sai Baba, then this is the best time for him to seek liberation. To get
liberation in this life, one must stay away from all Medias and internet. No
newspaper reading; use inner net of divinity.
The path of liberation is no cake
walk. Rituals for long years may not confer liberation as desires in deep
subconscious pockets remain and lark upon people in any weak moments. The path
of knowledge, through discrimination is better one. Devotion without divine
knowledge may falter any moment. Kriya yoga,the highest yoga , as taught by Lord Krishna to Arjuna is most
relevant in this age of kali for sure shot liberation from diseases of repeated
birth and its associated sufferance. Lahiri
Mahasaya revived Kriya yoga after
getting permission of Mahavatar Babaji,the incarnation of Lord Shiva. Babaji is
the deathless Avatar about whom you may learn from the book, “ Autobiography of a yogi” by Swami
Yogananda.To overcome body consciousness, one has to transmute energy centers
to change molecules of body from weakness of mundane body attachment like
beasts to divine love of Yogis. Kriya yoga raise kundalini power and transmutes
brain cell to higher energy level from where control of senses become easier.
Kriya can prolong life . A kriya yogi does not depend on his past karma or
genetic propensity; he gets inspiration from constant integrated awareness. He
is in constant touch with God; self realized, serene and blissful. Kriya yoga
is the best path to attain tranquility of mind. In India, Yogoda satsang
society,Dakshineswar,Kolkata is
dispensing Kriya technique after some yoga lessons; one may contact them. Other
Gurus are there, who gives Kriya diksa- initiation. Babaji takes care of all
Kriya Yogis if they get initiated by Gurus who are in touch with Babaji. In
international level, Kriya is taught by self realization fellowship of
Sansfransico,California and Washington DC. I was initiated by Anandmoy Giri of
self realization fellowship Sansfransisco. He was direct disciple of
Yoganandji. While giving initiation, he told that his Guru initiates people
through him. In spite of my initiation by Swami Yogananda, I owe more
allegiance to Babaji; he is so compassionate. Basal instincts get transmuted by
Kriya as higher spinal center ,not lowest mulladhara, guides daily activity of
a kriya yogi. Serpent power may get raised by some other means also, but that
usually does not last long; it may fall back precariously, giving rise to
nervous diseases. If serpent power is misused as many do, they have to suffer
badly in this life or in any other subsequent lives. If one’s attitude is not
pure, one should not practice kriya; it may give rise to complications and
sufferance.
Modern teens are experimenting
human love by unsafe means as some perverted teachings are made by name of education.
Thus, contagious diseases are increasing like AIDS; Hepatitis C and other
diseases. Students are committing suicides; getting depressed, not studying properly,
some are becoming drug addicts. Government is not stopping drug business. More drugs,
more aids. Early marriages should be brought back to our society as advised by
Sathya Sai Baba ;read “ Annyatha Saranam nasty- other than you refuge ,there is none” a book on Baba by smt.Vijoyakumari.
More late marriage, more divorces; you can not make a good looking doll by hard
clay. Personality becomes rigid after 25 years. Mostly, in case of women, it is
before 20 years. In early marriage, girls can adjust better in their in-laws house.
After marriage; the girl can be kept in her father’s house for remaining
education but it should be under mutual trust and good relation. In such case, boy knows who his
wife is; the girl knows who her husband is; possible exposure to perversions in
mind and body level will not be required. They will be saved from getting such
dirty diseases like aids etc and they will be in peace of mind. In other words,
they will be happy in life. Whatever western world is throwing in dust bin;
India is picking it up for use. It is a shame for such a high spiritual culture
like India. Alcohol, tobacco are less in western countries than India. Some
rich uncultured people are practicing wife swapping by following animal culture
with out understanding the grave psychological implications. You devotees of
God must preach people to stop all such nonsense activity.
Jesus said,” There is no man who
that hath left house or brethren, or sisters or father or mother or wife, or children,
or lands, for my sake, and the Gospel’s, but he shall receive an hundred fold
now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers and children,
and land, with persecution and in the world to come eternal life.”
Mark:10:29-30[ Bible] Meaning is that ,
those who leave their family and remain celibate to help society get more
brothers, sisters, mothers than they leave in long run but they are also prone
for prosecutions from people but he assured all those that they will get peace
in heaven. It means their next life will be glorious and or they may directly
merge in God. Those Brahmacharis and saints do a lot of social service and that
way, their boundary of selfishness gets enlarged and becomes totally unselfish.
So, my dear brothers and sisters, kindly do not grieve when society criticizes
and assails you; because you are in peace with God if not now perchance, in
next life; this is the law of Karma.
One should be always benevolent
and strives his best to come out of wrong thinking. If one seeks liberation in
this life; he must abstain from all sorts of pleasure seeking as all such acts
leads one to perpetual death. One slips back to unconsciousness; fall from
higher center of serpent power to lower one. Progression becomes regression.
One should not fall back to inconscient under any pretext of pleasure seeking. Continence,
from time immemorial is the rule for those who aspire for self empowerment and
self realization. When you go to higher level, continence must be replaced by
total abstinence. All desires and impulses must be eliminated from mental and
physical level. Our transformation should proceed from within to outward, which
result in external transformation in physical beings. That gives glorious aura
of sainthood, seen by other saints and holy man. Saintly people refuse mundane
pleasures to enjoy delight of human existence in real health and spirit.
Embodiment of love, God has
planted so many saints in this world to guide you but you are not going to them
for your strong ego. If one saint falters that does not mean all saints are
fake. God said, all saints are different pearls of his garland of pearls.
Saints are private secretary of God; it is easier to meet a prime minister
through secretary than directly. God is million times more powerful than prime
minister, so he has got lakhs of secretaries to serve under him.
For your physical and mental best
health, you must have absolute trust. This absolute trust in your body’s
healing ability is more vigorous in younger age. Some villagers and simple
hearted people, whenever any physical complaints or injury occur in their body;
they ignore it with absolute trust that it will be over like passing cloud. And
it really happens. They are positive thinkers. But dynamic faith works in all
ages. Dynamic faith depends on Grace of God. One should have faith that his Sat
guru or form of God whom he believes
will protect him always whatever mishap may happen. To maintain that dynamic
faith, one must be very sincere in path of spirituality.
For liberation, this life, one
has to practice dristi samyam—control of gaze. It means, one should not look at
others unnecessarily. Laksman,brother of Rama never looked at any women other
than his mother and wife. He did not look at the face of Sita even. Another
saint who did such gaze control is Swami Pranabananda , the founder of Bharat
sevasram sangha, head quarter at 211, Rashbehari avenue ; Kolkata, India. Human mind is like a mad
monkey. When one looks at women, for example, he may feel attachment. To
fulfill those attachment, he may require millions of births, in every birth, he
adds to more attachment. Love and hatred, both have implications. If we look
less to others, we get less bondage. That’s why; some people go to caves of
Himalayas to meditate. If you have divine knowledge and Grace of God, then only
you can look at people, can have interaction with people; at the same time,
remain merged in God. Only few people can do that. So, in younger age, man and
women must control looking at others. Earlier days, Hindu married women in India would use part of
their dress [sari] to cover up their face while talking with seniors, or
unknown people.
Dear Swamis students; you are
selected by Baba because of your past life good deeds, you must strive hard so
that you do not miss liberation in this life or in next life. After Prem Sai
goes, next 2000 years, no avatar is coming as declared by Baba. So, this is
unique chance, all should avail it. Swami’s students are example to society, so
they must behave accordingly. They should wear white dress only meaning no dark
spot exists in their character. That is the dress code of white army including
sevadal. Have full faith in Baba and follow his injunctions; liberation is
yours. Dear devotees of God ,do not underestimate yourselves. A child may fall
many times before it learns walking; similarly a sadhak [ aspirant] may fall
many times from path of truth, he must strive until he becomes stable in path
of spirituality. God helps him, who helps himself. Children must be taught
spirituality and love for physical culture so that they do not develop
deformity of body; if it is there, it will be corrected. Yogic postures and breathing exercises are to
be taught to them. Spiritual books and life stories of great yogis and satgurus
must be read in younger age to get liberated from bondage of sensory pleasures;
thus getting liberated while alive. Holy company is a prerequisite for
liberation from ignorance.
Lord Krishna said in Gita, “Only
Grace of God can redeem you, not by your intelligence, information or by your
hearing of lectures”. I do believe it. How to earn Grace of God, by keeping
one’s heart open to accept the truth; loving all and serving all. Grace of God
depends on law of karma. To earn Grace of God, one must maintain purity of
word, thought and deed. Destiny results from our past deed of this life and
other past lives.
When your child goes out of house
and does not return by evening from his play, what do you do? You go out and
search for him, you call him loudly so that you get response but if he does not
return for long time, you suppose that he has died or lost somewhere you do not
know. In that case, the child even if not died, forgets you in his new environment
and never returns to you. God send his children Jivatma-----individual soul
from Him with the hope that the individual soul will come back to Him after the
game of life is played. How many plays?1000,10000 or more. If too much delay,
too much attachment to new non divine environment, the child forgets the father
and may become demonic in place of his original divine nature due changes in
genetic structure. Like father coming to search his son to take back home his
beloved children; God comes to earth in form of Avatar to take his children
back home—to give liberation from playfulness in material world. So Lord
Krishna came to this world in form of Sathya Sai Baba and delivered speeches
for 84 years but it fell to deaf ear, how many returned to divine ways, I mean
Jivan muktha? What I mean to say is why I am writing about the need of
liberation which most of the mankind do not know. So, you should not delay
millions of years to go back to your goal of life, to go back home- return to the
state of blissful existence. God sends thousands of saints and sages for the
same purpose so that His children are not lost in wilderness of crazy perverted
life.
Embodiment of Love, it is a
matter of regret that most mankind does not believe in saints. This is media effect,
media represent evil power mostly and they always malign God man, including
Sathya Sai Baba. They get money from vested powers. Most of them are foreign
agents. Do not trust them. True saints are there. Go to Amritanandamoyi Ma of
Amritapuri, Kerala. Whole world salutes her. Most of the time, she remains in
western world. Why should they call a Hindu saint if they do not get peace of
mind by revering her? Let me tell you one true story. One saint, who lived in
Himalaya for a long time, came down to a small town of Assam to serve people. A
lot of ladies used to go to him for their problems, husband’s and children’s
health problem and for their own spiritual solace. One young boy suspected the
saint as par his tendency of thought. He thought, the saint was a womanizer.
One night, he went to watch the saint what he was doing in his hut, he poked
the thatched wall to peep inside the hut where the saint was living. He did not
see any women there but saint meditating, a small lamp was burning. Next day
morning, he discovered that he has become blind in that eye. He was intelligent;
he went to the saint and cried and asked for restoration of sight. The saint
replied, “You are lucky, you did not see with both eyes, otherwise both eye
would have been blind. Only few people understood Ramakrishna Paramhamsa while
he was alive. Swami Vivekananda saw his miracles in his life and he believed
his Guru as God. You require experience to understand God man. For that,
loyalty to God man is a must. Swami Vivekananda has full loyalty to his Guru.
When he went to America to preach Hinduism, some Americans made a plot to kill
him and they gave poison in a glass of water in one dinner. While Swamiji was
about to drink water from that poisonous glass, his Guru Ramakrishna came
inside the glass and said,” do not take the water, poison is there”. He
survived. This is power of Indian Gurus. Swami Yogananda, although an Indian
Hindu monk, his devotees were 90%Christians and he ruled America for more than
30 years. Mother of Pondicherry, a French lady, although Christian, her
devotees were 90% Hindus of India. All these show universality of religion;
there is only one religion, religion of love. We should bring back Guru System
in India. Lord Rama has human Guru; Lord Krishna had human Guru Sandiponi Muni.
They did not require Guru but to teach us the need of Guru in human life. When Swami
Yogananda was told to deliver a speech on a certain subject while he was going
by ship to America, he could not speak for 10 minutes, then he heard his Gurus
voice and started speaking like an English man. He did not remember anything
what he spoke. But for that maiden speech, he got so many invitations to speak
in America.
Man is living with constant fear
of death. So much fear does not allow mankind to live peacefully. By
surrendering to God and believing that life is a game of God; where we should
follow His rules, we may eschew fear. No fear of death, Vhibuti reminds the
ultimate result of human existence. When time of death comes, no one can escape.
If time has not reached, man survives miraculously. So many such instances are there.
When we accept the inevitability and accept death as normal phenomena, we
develop sense of immortality. Soul does not take birth, does not die either.
Human body is a dress which is to be changed if we require more experience of
human lives. When soul is ripe with wisdom of Maya-the illusory world, then it
drops getting liberation from rebirth. The theory of Maya can be learned from
Newton’s theory of motion. Every action has its opposite reaction. There is
polarity in every atom. Every atom has got electron and proton. One is
negative, other is positive. Likewise, in human life, happiness and sorrow come
alternately. Law of opposite is the fabric of Maya. We must transcend Maya to
be wise enough to reach the state of immortality.
You can sing the song sung by
Adisankaracharya: “ Mono buddhi ahamkara,chittani na ahom;chidananda
rupam,shivaham,Shivaham—“meaning there
by, “ I am not mind, ego nor intellect, I am God remaining always in
blissful state”. Singing such songs and other devotional songs is a part of
sadhana-spiritual pursuits. Repeated telling that we are not mind, we should be
able to tame mind, and mind misleads us to trap of Maya-the aspect of duality.
If we relax the mind, tension in body vanishes.
If we are in ordinary physical
consciousness, then we must follow physical rules. That is for taking care of
our health and mental well being. That’s why scriptures are laid down. We must
follow injunctions of scriptures. Think of our past generations, they were
living happily and longer. Now, even young people are dying from heart attack
etc. Most of the people are diseased and living in distress. It is never late
to follow truth. We must practice Yoga, both physical one in form of postures,
and breathing exercises and mental one.
Brigadier Bose was a civil
engineer working in Puttaparthi as par instruction of Sathay Sai Baba. Once
,when he died in the bhajan hall while
Sai Baba was giving discourse, some doctors came ,felt absence of pulse; they
know not what to do, should they take the patient to hospital, at that time,
they saw Baba signaling go away. They left the scene. When Baba’s speech was over,
he came to Mr.Bose and called him, the dead body got up and he survived some
more years. He wrote about that incident in his book; there he disclosed that
when he died, a golden Eagle, Garura came to take his soul. He was about to
board the Garura, that time Baba signaled the Garura bird to leave. That time,
he again entered his body, he came back from death. What I want to say is that
if we do good deed and have satguru like Sai Baba ,then when we die ,we get
special privilege to go to Visnu loka, higher abode of heaven.
I know another true story that
happened in Sathya Sai Baba super hospital, Puttaparthi. One devotee lady died
there. After she died, another devotee
lady saw in dream that a golden chariot came to hospital to take the departed
soul and she boarded the chariot and she was taken to Vishnu loka. The lady who
saw the dream, told me confidentially. That lady was going for Sai Baba’s
darshan almost every day for many years, even if she was sick. She used to worship
Sai Baba sincerely every day for long time after morning bath. Those aforementioned
incidents teach us that God can grant liberation to His devotees so easily.
An old custom in India, when one dies,
Ganges water is given to their mouth with Tulasi plant leaves. If Ganges water
is not available, then simple water should be given to dying person. This is
very important. Do you like to hear another true story on Tulasi leaves! Long
time back, one Swamiji was wandering in Himalayas. While searching for a
village at afternoon, one lady met him in jungle road and invited him for a dinner
on occasion of her daughter’s marriage on that evening. That saint was hungry and
asked about the marriage venue, she told that her people will instruct him in
right time. The impressive middle aged lady left. He was walking alone; after
few miles walk, a young boy approached the saint and told him to accompany him
to marriage venue. He followed him and he saw a grand marriage hall, nobody was
there but a lot of prepared food etc was there. He was very happy to get a good
evening dinner. The boy vanished. He got scared. After some time, that lady who
invited him came and told him to take food as it is already evening, he would
be late. After he partook some food, the lady took him out of the hall and he
finds himself in old jungle road. He could not understand the miracle. He asked
her, but what about the marriage. She told, “ Swamiji, the marriage is
cancelled. One Prince was supposed to die today afternoon and that man was to
be given marriage with my daughter; so I arranged the marriage party. But when
the prince was coming by horse and death came to him, he fell down by side of a
Tulasi bush; when my people went to bring him for my daughters marriage; agents
of Vishnu loka arrived there and argued with my people saying that as he died
by touching Tulasi leaves,he is to be taken to Vishnu loka [ abode of God],thus
the prince got liberated. So I have to
cancel the marriage. Swamiji , it was after death place where you were taken as
you are a holy saint, I thought you will be an ideal marriage guest, Sorry.” This
story was told to me by that Swamiji himself at Puttaparthi .Now, you may
realize the holiness of planting Tulasi plant in every Hindu house. It is a medicinal plant ,can cure so many diseases
like cough and cold etc. it is also mosquito repellent, malaria is very less
where Tulasi plants are cultivated as research declared.
Suppose a man is staying in a
village or in a small town, that man aspires to go to better township or to
another city for more comfort of probabilities and facilities. Like wise, great
souls who lived thousands of lives in this world want to go back to his
pristine place of origin, the heaven. If you observe any man coming to your
house repeatedly to take some food and going back end numbers of time; what
will you say, you would say, obsession, madness; the man is coming, taking some
food and again coming for same thing. You would say to stop him coming. Mankind
is doing the same thing. Coming to this world, loading and unloading for long
time, leaving and coming back again for end number of times. So, when some
saints tell us to stop this business of coming and going, why not we take it
easy.
It is up to individual to take
liberation or not in this life, but why not he aspires to get liberated from
unending desires which leads him to so many sufferances. At least, we can
liberate ourselves from bondage of ignorance. Let us live in light and bliss of
God communion. If people die in third world war or by isil militants who want to
establish Saria law all over the world and decimate all other religion from
face of earth; then distressed soul has to come back again to develop harmony
and regain the spiritual height which they reached in last life. We should
educate people that God is one; no fight by name of different religion.
All good people of all religions
must unite together to usher in golden age, thus avoiding ensuing third world
war as envisioned by Nostradamus 450 years back. All good people of the world,
joining together can bring central world government to defunct border issues;
making this world heaven itself. Everything grand is possible by Grace of God.
Why not try?
