Take off with Natarajan

The ministers of Ravana spoke only what was pleasing to him; they were afraid and so, they proved dangerous counsellors. His brother Vibheeshana alone gave him the beneficial drug which would have cured him; but since it was not priya or pleasing, Ravana rejected it and fell into perdition. This is the message I bring – the Message that will confer strength, peace, hope and fulfilment. This message surely is hitha (beneficial), though it may not be priya (pleasing). A patient must take drugs and put himself through regimen that is beneficial; one cannot ask for only sweet medicines and comfortable regimen which please them. The doctor knows best and must be obeyed for the sake of recovery. The Vedas and scriptures are the greatest repositories of hitha, as they were won by penance and travail by sages and seers who were interested only in the welfare of humanity and the liberation of man.

The recognition of one’s innate Divinity and the regulation of one’s daily life in accordance with that Truth are the guiding stars for those who are caught in the currents and crosscurrents of strife and struggle! Without Atmajnana (awareness of your own reality that you are just a wave in the ocean of Divinity) life becomes a meaningless farce, a mockery, a game of fools. It is the acquisition of that awareness that makes life earnest, sweet and fruitful. When you try to prepare a meal, you may have with you all the materials you need: rice, lentils, salt, lime, spices, vegetables and so on. But unless you have the fire in the hearth, you cannot get the edible meal. So too in life, Atmajnana is the fire which makes the material world and the external activities and experiences, edible and tasty, digestible, health-granting and joy-giving. That joy is called Anandam; it is uplifting, illuminating and constructive!

Students! You are embodiments of the Divine! There are two aspects of Vidya or education that you have to master: Vijnana – understanding the world around us, or science, and also Prajnana – the higher learning, the art of controlling the inner feelings and the many layers of Consciousness. Benefactors and beneficiaries of the educational field, listen to this: Each student has a watch on the wrist. And, you look at the watch at least a hundred times a day. Well, learn from the watch this great lesson. When you watch the watch, remember the five letters of the word, WATCH; each is giving you a fine lesson for life: ‘W’ tells you, “Watch your Words”; ‘A’ warns you, “Watch your Action”; ‘T’ indicates, “Watch your Thoughts”; ‘C’ advises, “Watch your Character”; and ‘H’ declares, “Watch your Heart.” When you are consulting your watch, imbibe this lesson that the watch is imparting!

When you sing bhajans, maintain the proper rhythm by clapping your hands. The clapping should be done according to the bhajan. And bhajans should be sung with proper tune and wholeheartedly. The three syllables in the name Bha-ra-ta stand for bhava (feeling), raga (tune) and tala (beat). It means true Bhartiyas are those who sing the glory of God with bhava, raga, and tala. You should join both hands and clap. The five fingers of one hand symbolise karmendriyas (senses of action) and that of other hand stand for jnanendriyas (senses of perception). When you sing the glory of God, there should be harmony between these two. Let your every action be pleasing unto God. You may call Him Rama, Krishna, or Govinda, but God is one. Develop the feeling of oneness and attain the vision of the Divine Self (Atma).

Some people keep the rosary revolving in their hands but their minds roam in the market. Can this be called japa (chanting)? While meditating, both your body and mind should be steady! The body is made of five elements, so it is bound to suffer. You should not be affected by it. This is true sadhana (spiritual exercise). All other sadhanas will prove futile if you do not give up body attachment. Today marks the beginning of a very sacred year. Not only in this year, but throughout your life, you should cultivate sacred thoughts. Embodiments of love, develop more and more love in you. Experience love and share it with others. You are not merely mortals. You are the sparks of divine. Lead your life in such a manner. This is the most important message for this New Year! When you understand and internalise your divine origin, your thoughts, words, and deeds will become sacred!

There are some people who get up from bed with a disturbed and agitated mind. Don’t do that! Arise from your sleep with a peaceful mind. Think of God. If parents criticise each other as soon as they get up from bed, surely, children also will start quarrelling and fighting with each other! Children always try to emulate their parents and hence, parents should set an example to their children. You should teach them by practice, not merely by precept. Under any circumstance, do not give room for anger or hatred. Never hate anybody. The hatred in you will come back to you as reflection and make you suffer. You may have to face some difficulties and sorrows, but never mind. Be calm and composed. Consider everyone as embodiments of Divinity. Your salutation or ridicule, whoever it may be addressed to, reaches God. Offer your respects to everybody. Share your love with one and all.
