Message for the Day…”Whatever one’s scholarship, intelligence or position, one cannot have peace of mind and happiness if one does not know the real Self.”

Source.http://media.radiosai.org

Sage Narada, who had mastered the many sciences and arts, could not secure the supreme bliss that comes from peace of mind. Troubled by this lack of peace he approached the sage Sanatkumara and asked him what was the cause of his condition. The sage asked Narada what were his accomplishments. Narada told the sage that he was proficient in all the Vedas and Vedantas and had mastered the sixty-four different sciences including the training of elephants and the rearing of cows. Laughing within himself, sage Sanatkumara asked: “Are these your only accomplishments? Oh Narada, without knowing who you are, what is the use of knowing all other things?” People make various attempts to understand everything in the world. But no one makes any effort to understand oneself. An enormous amount of time is spent on understanding other things, but man cannot find the time to know himself. Whatever one’s scholarship, intelligence or position, one cannot have peace of mind and happiness if one does not know the real Self.

வாரம் ஒரு கவிதை ….” இன்றைய தாலாட்டு “

 

இன்றைய தாலாட்டு
———————————–
தொட்டில் கட்டி  தாய் பாடும் தாலாட்டு
கேட்டது ஒரு தலைமுறை !
தொட்டில் என்றால் என்ன என்று
கேட்குது இன்றைய தலை முறை !
தொலைகாட்சி பாட்டுக்கு தலை
ஆட்டும் இந்த தலைமுறைக்கு அன்னையின்
தாலாட்டு ஒரு புதிர் விளையாட்டு !
வேலை வேலை என்று ஆலாய்
பறக்கும் பெண்ணுக்கு  தாலாட்டு
பாட எங்கே நேரம் ?
மடிக்கணினி இசைக்கும் இசையே ஒரு
குழந்தை கேட்கும் இன்றைய தாலாட்டு !
அம்மா அப்பாவின் கைபேசி
மணிஓசைதான்  தாள வாத்திய கச்சேரி
மடியில் தவழும் குழந்தைக்கு !
இன்றைய குழந்தை  கேட்கும்
ஒரே தாலாட்டு  அதன் அம்மா அப்பா
பாடும் ஒரே பாட்டு …”எடுக்க வேண்டும்
எல்லா அடையாள அட்டையும் நம்ம  குழந்தைக்கு “

Message for the Day…”Adhere to Divine directives with faith and sincerity. That will help you realise the purpose of your life.”

Source: http://media.radiosai.org

The spiritual aspirant’s objective should be to be mentally ready for the realisation of Godhead, at any given moment. That is to say, the heart must be cleansed of despair, freed from hesitation and doubt, and open to the waves of bliss that surge in from all sides of God’s Universe. Love brings the waves in, ever expansive as they are! The path you tread depends on the principles you believe in! Follow good principles, you will be led along to reap good fruits. Adhere to Divine directives with faith and sincerity. That will help you realise the purpose of your life. Since every act has its appropriate reaction, beware of evil intentions, wicked words, acts that harm others and therefore harm you. I desire that you must always tread the path of goodness and achieve good results in life. Live so well, such that, you revere every being as moving temples of the Divine..

Message for the Day…”You must win the grace of your own subconscious so that it may accept the grace of God which is ever available.”

Now you will all be served prasadam (eatables as offerings in a temple) at the conclusion of the bhajans. Prasadam also means grace, which flows from God when He is propitiated. When prasadam is offered, you have to do only one little act, so that you may receive it – you have to extend your hand and accept it! But My grace is ever with you; it is not something that is given or taken; also it is always accepted by the consciousness that is aware of its significance. You must win the grace of your own subconscious so that it may accept the grace of God which is ever available. You can win it by teaching it the value of the My grace. My grace is showered wherever you are through My infinite Love, without even calculating or measuring the readiness of your subconscious to receive it and benefit by it. When you accept My grace it will itself confer on you the faith and the strength, the wisdom and the joy.
