Message for The Day….Practice Righteousness….

NatarajanLeave a comment

Each heart is a Dharmakshethra (a warfield of righteousness), where there is a constant battle between the forces of good and evil. Why, the whole world is a Dharmakshethra. Hence it is very essential that every single child and mother, each and every one of you be devoted to Dharma (righteousness). The holy Bhagavad Gita begins with the word, ‘Dharmakshethrae’ and in the final chapter appears the phrase “Sarva Dharman Parithyajya”, meaning ‘give up all Dharma’. The significance of this is that through Dharma, you have to transcend Dharma. What is needed is the steadfast practice of righteousness. Scholarship and wealth are often burdens, they are indeed a handicap. Practice alone counts in spiritual matters.

If there is righteousness in your heart, there will be beauty in your character
and harmony at your home. – Baba

Message for The Day…The Name of God will Light the Spark of Wisdom….

NatarajanLeave a comment

So long as the consequence of Karma persists, you are bound to be born again and again to finish the consumption thereof. The slate of Karma has to be wiped clean so that your account of birth and death can be settled and closed with no balance. The Name of the Lord can light the spark of love within you to ignite the fire of Spiritual Wisdom, which will guide your mind towards this goal. Just as two branches of a tree, when grated one against another for some time generates enough heat to set the tree on fire, so too, continuous and sincere repetition of the names of the Lord will light the spark of wisdom within you. The holy Bhagavad Geetha says, Jnanagni dagdha karmanam – ‘The flames of wisdom reduce to ashes the effects of all activities’; they do not affect one anymore just like a rope that has been reduced to ash can bind no more.

One who discriminates well before engaging in any activity will naturally be righteous in conduct and behavior. – Baba

Handful of Rice for Poor….Mahaperiva”s Advice….

NatarajanLeave a comment

Mahaperiavaa used to advice… “Everyday morning a handful of rice …uncooked… must be set apart for the poor. All families must do this without fail everyday. The rice thus kept must be collected from house to house every quarter , cooked and offered to the Deity of the local temple as Naivedya and then distributed among the poor people.

With the handful of rice every day, setapart for the poor people, keep just one Rupee also. The one Rupee collected from each family would be sufficient to buy cooking media and fuel . To carryout such a scheme is to do a great service to the poor. …and in turn to GOD.”

Secret of Happiness….

NatarajanLeave a comment

YOGAKSHEMAM VAHAMYAHAM

One day, one friend asked another, ‘How is it that you are always so happy? You have so much energy, and you never seem to get down.. ‘

With her eyes smiling, she said, ‘ I know the Secret!’ ‘What secret is that? ‘ To which she replied, I’ll tell you all about it, But you have to promise to Share the Secret with others.’

‘The Secret is this: I have learned there is little I can do In my life that will make me truly happy I must depend on God to make Me happy and to meet my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply According to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I don ‘ t need half of what I think I do. He has never let me down. Since I learned that ‘ Secret ‘ , I am happy.’

The questioner’s first thought was, ‘ That’s too simple! ‘ But upon reflecting over her own life She recalled how she thought a bigger house Would make her happy, but it didn’t! She thought a better paying job Would make her happy, but it hadn’t. When did she realize her greatest happiness? Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren, Playing games, eating pizza or reading a story, A simple gift from God.

Now you know it too! We can’t depend on people to make us happy. Only GOD in His infinite wisdom can do that. Trust HIM! And now I pass the Secret on to you! So once you get it, what will you do?

YOU have to tell someone the Secret, too!

That GOD in His wisdom will take care of YOU! But it ‘ s not really a secret… We just have to believe it and do it.. Really trust God! I just did and hope you will too.

“To have God in our side doesn’t mean sailing on a boat with no storms, it means having a boat that no storm can sink!”

Message for The Day…Adhere to Right Conduct….

NatarajanLeave a comment

God will not be attracted by learning, wealth or material possessions. God is drawn only by devotion. Take to Him, any troubles you have – He will accept all of them and fill you with joy. God loves every devotee. He accepts you for who you are. He is aware of all the difficult situations, trials and tribulations you go through and your devotion to Him, which gives you so much happiness. However, this devotion alone is not enough. What is needed is the regulation of that Divine Love, in the form of virtue and service. Do not criticise others, rather criticize yourself. Have the Name of the Lord on your tongue and the Form of the Lord before your eye. If you shape yourself this way, the place where you live will be the holiest of all. Let all your activities be directed only towards this purification in your hearts. I bless each and every one of you with success, in this noble effort!

To secure the grace of God you must adhere to right conduct and observe purity in thought, word and deed. – Baba

பேச்சில் நிதானம் தேவை …பெரியவா சொன்னது …

NatarajanLeave a comment

* கஷ்டங்களைச் சொல்வதாக இருந்தால் கடவுளிடம் மட்டும் சொல்லுங்கள். கண்ட இடங்களிலும் கண்ணில் பட்ட மனிதர்களிடம் எல்லாம் நம் துன்பங்களைச் சொல்வதால் எப்பயனும் இல்லை. கடவுளால் மட்டுமே நம்முடைய கஷ்டங்களை பொறுமையுடன் கேட்டு அதற்கு தீர்வு தரமுடியும்.
* பாவங்களை எப்படி தீர்த்துக் கொள்வது என்றால் புண்ணியத்தால் தான் தீர்த்துக் கொள்ள முடியும். போன பிறவியில் செய்த பாவங்களை இந்த பிறவியிலாவது தீர்க்கட்டும் என்ற கருணையினால் தான் இறைவன் நமக்கு பிறப்பினைத் தந்திருக்கிறார்.
* மனம் இருக்கும்வரை ஆசைகள் இருக்கத்தான் செய்யும். அதனால் மனதை அடக்கி விட வேண்டும். மனம் அடங்கக் கற்றுக் கொண்டால் மரணநிலையில் இருப்பது போல், ஒரு சக்தியுமின்றி ஜடம் போல் ஆகிவிடுவோம் என்று எண்ணக்கூடாது. மாறாக, மனம் அடங்கும் போது, சகல சக்திகளுக்கும் ஆதாரமான நிலை உருவாகும்.
* பேசும்போது “வளவள’ என்று மிகையாகப் பேசாமல் நிதானமாக அளந்து பேச வேண்டும். திருவள்ளுவரும் எதைக் காக்காவிட்டாலும் நாக்கைக் கட்டுப்படுத்திப் பழகவேண்டும் என்று சொல்லியிருப்பதை நாம் நினைவில் கொள்ள வேண்டும்.

Message For the Day…Jana Seva is Janardhana Seva….

NatarajanLeave a comment

Today we bid farewell to the year gone by and welcome the new year. We pray that the new spring should confer on all beings longevity, health and goodness. Pleasant experiences and unpleasant memories of the previous year that linger in the mind, contain many good lessons. When one reviews the past year within oneself, one can realise how much time was spent selfishly and how much in service. It is not good to keep quiet when there are people around in the society facing hardships. If need be, you should give up japa and sadhana (Spiritual practices), and uplift such people through service and sacrifice. You should feel that Jana Seva is Janaardhana Seva (service to people is service to God).Those who seek the joy of liberation should burn selfishness in the fire of jnana (spiritual wisdom).

Make good use of time by recognising what is permanent and true in human life. – Baba

Message for the Day…GOD is your Goal !!!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

A mother fetching water from the well, will have a pot on her head, another on her hip and a third in her hand, and will be hurrying her way home, as she is always conscious of the infant in the cradle. If she forgets the infant, her gait slows down and she wanders around, chatting with all her friends. Similarly, if God, the Goal, is not cherished in the memory, one has to wander through many births and arrive home late. Hence keep the memory of the Lord and His glory, always with you. That will quicken your steps and you will arrive soon at the goal.

The God-centred person has three qualities: Purity, Perseverance and Patience. – Baba

Message For The Day…God is not Distinct From you !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

The lotus in your heart pines for the Sun, the splendour of the Loving Lord. To attain Him requires effort. Withdrawal of all attachment towards the world and cultivation of Divine Love alone can win it. God is the nearest and dearest entity, but ignorance hides Him away from the eye. The stars appear as dots of light, for they are at great distances from us. Just as the stars, God appears insignificant or ineffective to many, because they are keeping themselves too far away from Him. If some believe that God is not present or visible, it only means that they are at a too great a distance to be aware of Him. The love that God bears for each and every one is unequalled.

God is neither distant nor distinct from you. – Baba

Message for the Day…Live in HIS Glory..

Natarajan1 Comment

Practice is the real thing that matters in spirituality. Scholarship is a burden, many times a handicap even. So long as God is believed to be far away, in temples and holy places, one will feel religion a burden and a hurdle. But instal Him in your heart and you feel light, burdenless and even strong. It is like the food basket – when carried on a shoulder, it feels heavy. You are too weak, even to carry it. But sit near a stream and eat your food from the basket – though the food weight has not decreased, you feel stronger and joyful. That is the consequence of taking the food in. Do likewise, with the idea of God. Do not carry it on the shoulder, take it ‘in’! The scriptures teach, “God is verily the Life-breath, of every soul.” So practise to live in His Glory, in His Memory, in His contemplation, every single moment of your life.

True devotion really means installing the Divine in the heart and enjoying the bliss of that experience. – Baba
