“குரு சொன்னபடி உங்களால் நடக்க முடிகிறதா ?”

NatarajanLeave a comment

பெரியவாள் பக்தர்களுக்கு தரிசனம் கொடுத்துக்கொண்டிருந்தார்கள்.

எதிரே, ஒரு பெரிய மரம். தடிமனான குரங்கு ஒன்று வந்து மரத்தில் ஏறியது. பின், இருபது – முப்பது குரங்குகள் அந்த லீடர் குரங்கைத் தொடர்ந்து மரத்தில் ஏறின.

பெரியவாள், ஒரு கூடை மாம்பழத்தை மரத்தடியில் போடச் சொன்னார்கள்.

லீடர் குரங்கு என்ன உத்தரவு எப்படி போட்டதோ தெரியவில்லை! ஆனால், மற்ற குரங்குகள் ஒவ்வொன்றாக வந்து ஒரு பழத்தை எடுத்துக்கொண்டு மேலே ஏறிச் சென்றன.லீடர் குரங்கு மட்டும் ஒரு பழத்தைக் கூட தொடவில்லை!

பெரியவாள் சொன்னார்கள்:

“குரங்குகள் போன்ற மிருகங்களுக்குக் கூட ஒரு discipline இருக்கு! லீடர் குரங்கு சொல்கிறபடி நடக்கின்றன. காட்டில், யானைகளுக்கு ஒரு தலைமை யானை இருக்கும்.அந்த லீடர் யானையை follow பண்ணித்தான் மற்ற யானைகள் செல்லும்.ஒரு கட்டெறும்பு செத்துப்போனால், மற்ற கட்டெறும்புகள் அதை இழுத்துச் செல்லும்.ஒரு காக்கை இறந்துபோனால், மற்ற காக்கைகள் மரத்தில் உட்கார்ந்து கொண்டு துக்கமாய் கதறும்.

ஆனால், ஆறறிவு படைத்த மனிதர்கள்தான் குரு சொல்கிறபடி நடப்பதில்லை. என்னைப் பார்த்து நீங்கள் எல்லாம் ஆச்சார்யாள், பெரியவாள் என்றெல்லாம் சொல்கிறீர்கள். ஆனால், நான் சொல்வதை உங்களால் செய்யமுடிகிறதில்லை!”

கவனமாகக் கேட்டுக்கொண்டிருந்த பக்தர்கள்,ஒரே குரலாக, “பெரியவா என்ன உத்தரவு போட்டாலும் செய்கிறோம்” என்று பக்தியோடு பதிலளித்தார்கள்.

“சரி. காலையில் இரண்டு நிமிஷமும், சாயங்காலம் இரண்டு நிமிஷமும் எனக்காக ஒதுக்குங்கள். இருபத்து நாலு மணி நேரத்தில், நாலு நிமிஷம்தான் கேட்கிறேன். காலையில், இரண்டு நிமிஷம் ‘ராம, ராம’ என்று சொல்லுங்கோ; சாயங்காலம், ‘சிவ, சிவ’ ன்னு சொல்லுங்கோ…”

“அப்படியே செய்கிறோம்” என்று சுமார் நூறு பேர்கள் தெரிவித்துக் கொண்டார்கள்.

அமளி அடங்கியதும், பெரியவாள் அருகிலிருந்த தொண்டர்களிடம், “பத்துப் பன்னிரண்டு பேர்களாவது, சொன்ன சொல்லைக் காப்பாத்துவா” என்றார்கள்.

அந்த, யாரோ பத்துப் பன்னிரண்டு புண்யாத்மாக்களை உருவாக்குவதற்காகத்தான், ஆழமான கருத்துடன், அரைமணி லெக்சர்!

குரங்கு, காட்டு யானை, கட்டெறும்பு , காக்கை – நமக்கு நல்ல வழிகாட்டிகள்; ‘ஆச்சார்யர்கள்’.

அவர்களை (அவைகளை)யாவது follow பண்ணலாம் தானே?

Message For The Day….The Best Reward for an Individual is to Merge in the Divine …

NatarajanLeave a comment

The purusha (man) is ‘he who lives in the pura,’ that is the physical body. He who lives in the Universe, which is His body is Purushotthama, the Supreme. A tiny ant creeping over the foot is cognised by your consciousness; that is because, a purusha has consciousness filling the entire body. The Purushotthama too has consciousness filling and activating His entire body, which is the Universe; and hence He is omniscient. The soul is the vyasthi (individual), the samashti (all of Creation) is God. The best reward for the individual (Purusha) is to merge in the Divine (Purushotthama). And the path is through the Knowledge begotten by action and love for God.

Message For The Day….Senses &Mind Are To Be set On the Right Course ….

NatarajanLeave a comment

All knowledge and experiences are associated with the mind externally. They do not go beyond the mind. The aspirant who seeks to experience the Atma will not be able to have it by performing worldly actions. The Atma is all-pervading. The Cosmos is permeated by the Chaitanya (AtmicConsciousness). When there is a pot with water, we can directly see the sun’s reflection. Absence of a pot does not mean that there is no sun or reflection of the sun. Irrespective of whether there is a body or not, whether there is a mind or not, the Atma is present. There is no need for a body or mind to experience the Divine. Until this is properly understood, good care has to be taken of the body, the senses, the mind and the intellect. They have to be set on the right course and not allowed to go astray. All troubles arise because the senses take to wrong paths.

Message For The Day….Learn to Make The Best Of Life Thro Spiritual Flight !!!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

The mood and behaviour of people in cinema halls, marriage halls, exhibitions or while watching a game is very different from that of a spiritual gathering! The mood during entertainment is very different as the crowd there are moved by totally different impulses. However, in a gathering devoted to the needs of the spirit, what is expected is calm, reverential and eager attention, prayerful silence. Silence is most needed in all spiritual gatherings where deeper spiritual disciplines are discussed. Only the eye and the ear need function, the tongue has no business to wag. Everyone then will be able to receive completely, the gift of love and grace. Learn to make the best of life, this chance offered to you to sublimate your instincts, impulses and impressions on the mind from past deeds (Vasanas) and rise higher and higher in the moral and spiritual plane.
– Divine Discourse, Sep 1, 1958.

Message For The Day…Strength Derived From the Divine Is Only The True Strength …

Natarajan1 Comment

It is believed that every man has a free will. This is a mistake. It is also believed that it is through the individual’s ideas and efforts that many things are accomplished. This is based on misconceptions regarding man’s doership and egoism. Strength derived from the Divine alone is true strength. All else is weakness. To realise theAtma, physical prowess is of no avail. It is only by developing the sense of spiritual oneness, that the Atmic Consciousness can be realised. Today the world is plunged in chaos and conflict because this feeling of oneness has been lost. Man engages himself in strenuous efforts to achieve worldly comforts. But he does not make even a minute fraction of such efforts to meditate on God. How much greater happiness would he enjoy if he were to devote even a few moments to thoughts of God!

Message For The Day….Inner Voice Of Ours Remain Unchanged From Infancy to Old Age !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

You may wonder, ‘How is it that the Atma is present in all?’ When you meditate in solitude on this question, a permanent, unchanging sound arises from the mind. All objects manifest the power of the atom. Every object is composed of atoms. It is the nature of atoms to combine and to separate. But in all human beings there is one unchanging and indivisible divine entity, the Inner Voice. The body undergoes change from infancy to old age, but the Inner Voice remains unchanged. People experience three different states of consciousness in the waking, dreaming and deep sleep states. But the Inner Voice has no change in the gross or subtle states of the body. What is that Voice? It is the divine Inner Voice issuing from the Atma-thathwa (Atma Principle). It is continually declaring: ‘I, I, I..’ – ‘Aham, Aham, Aham’. This is the Truth that is subtler and more fundamental than the atom.

” What To Do When I Someone Insults Me ?” …Listen To What Sai Says ….

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

 

Quiz time
Question no. 1
You : SAI MAA, what to do when someone insults me? How should I react? BABA : All you got to do is keep SMILING and thank them.
You : BABA How can I smile when someone insults me? Why should I even thank them?
BABA : Before I answer that, Now tell me how do you clean your dress if it becomes dirty?
You : I will use soap and water and take off that dirt.
BABA : Ah! Exactly, In the same way the one who is Insulting you is also cleaning you. The reason why you and everyone are here is because of Karma. So the one who insults you is taking your karmas, your pains onto him. So
ALWAYS BE PATIENT AND NEVER GET ANGRY EVEN IF SOMEONE INSULTS YOU. I WILL TAKE CARE
You :. Love you SAI MAA

Question no. 2
You : BABA how to control my anger when someone irritates me?
BABA : What is anger?
You : It is a feeling
BABA : What is Affection?
You : It is also a feeling
BABA : Where do I live?
You : Oh SAI MAA you are the Supreme God and you live everywhere
BABA : Can you see me in your mother?
You : Yes SAI MAA
BABA : Can you see me in your Father?
You : Indeed! You are my mother and father SAINATH!
BABA : Can you see me in your Friend?

You : Yes. I do deva
BABA : You said I live everywhere then am I not living in that person who irritates you?
You : But…
BABA : Look my child, NEVER GET ANGRY and always have PATIENCE. Even if someone irritates you just be patient. I WILL TAKE CARE*
BLESSED IS HE WHO SEES ME IN ALL CREATURES
You : Love you SAI MAA

Question no. 3
Nanasaheb asks BABA
Nana: Baba, Who is God? How will He look? Where is He? How can we see Him?
Baba: Oh Nana! God is everywhere. There is no place where He is not. What prevents us from seeing Him is the power of Maya. I, you, this world, all are part of God. Therefore no one should hate another. Never forget that the Lord is everywhere. That will generate Love in you. When love overflows, everything is obtained.

Question no. 4
You : Oh MAA SAI, Why do you have to suffer the pains of others. Why can’t you just destroy the pains of your devotees?
BABA : My child, the answer is Karma. If someone is going through difficult times either health or wealth problems, it’s all because of Karma. When my devotees come to my feet and ask for my help,.
I TAKE THEIR KARMA ONTO MYSELF. No one can destroy karma just like that. So I TAKE MY DEVOTEES PAINS AND SUFFER FOR THEM.

MY HAPPINESS LIES IN MY DEVOTEES HAPPINESS
I don’t want anything in return except for Your Love….

Message For The Day….Avoid Doing Harm or Causing Pain to Others …

NatarajanLeave a comment

The holy culture of this ancient land has been spoilt by just one impurity; intolerance of another’s success, prosperity or progress. If you cannot help another, at least avoid doing harm or causing pain. That itself is a great service. What right have you to find fault with or to talk evil of another? When you say that nothing can ever happen on earth without His Will, why get annoyed or angry? Your duty is to cleanse yourself and engage in your own inner purification. That endeavor will bring you the cooperation of all good men and you will find strength and joy welling up within you.

Childhood sweethearts @ the age 4 ….Now @ 87 , Celebrate Their Platinum Wedding Anniversary !!!!

Natarajan1 Comment

Standing awkwardly, swamped in their formal wedding attire, Ron and Eileen Everest pose as four year-olds – dressed in their best and on the way to a local carnival.
Some 87-years later, the couple are still side by side, as they celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary almost nine decades after this family photograph was taken
The pair – whose fathers served together in the Great War – were born seven months apart in the same hospital ward in Gillingham, Kent, and were inseparable as children

Standing awkwardly, swamped in their formal wedding attire, who would have guessed four-year-old Ron and Eileen Everest, would still be side by side some 87 years later

  • This photo was taken when couple were 4, on way to a local carnival
  • They affectionately call it their first ‘wedding rehearsal’

 

87 years later they’ve celebrated their 70th  wedding anniversary !!!!

Chief Petty Officers Thomas Everest and Colin Campbell met in the Royal Navy and as they both lived in Kent they and their wives became firm friends.

Ronald was born to Thomas and his wife, Gertrude, in August 1921.

Just seven months later Colin’s wife, Kate, gave birth to baby Eileen in the same labour ward.

The young pair became inseparable over the next four years as they played together day in day out, Ron always protective of his slightly younger chum.

The cherished family photograph -taken in 1926 -has fondly become known as their ‘wedding rehearsal…

The pair (pictured here on their wedding day in 1943) - whose fathers served together in the Great War - were born seven months apart in the same hospital ward in Gillingham, Kent, and soon because inseparable

Mr and Mrs Everest (nee Campbell) were family friends united by their fathers.

The Everests, from Beetley, near Dereham, Norfolk, celebrated their Platinum wedding on Wednesday


Mrs Everest said: ‘It is quite an unusual story, especially these days, but we have got on well together most of the time.’

As for her beloved husband, he revealed his good humoured secret for such a long and successful fairytale marriage: ‘We promised to love, honour and obey –  and I did all the obeying.!!!

Message For The Day…You Are Yourself Paramatma ….

Natarajan1 Comment

When the senses are brought under control by the mind, the mind itself ceases to function; it disappears as it were. Then man experiences a profound silence. That stillness resulting from the absence of the mind is true Knowledge (Jnana). This knowledge cannot be acquired by intellectual ability or mental agility, nor by following an example. It is sui generis. Consider the ashes which cover a burning charcoal or the moss which covers a sheet of water. The ashes have come from the charcoal. The moss has originated from the water. The cataract that dims the vision of the eye, wherefrom has it come? From the eye itself! When the screen that blinds the vision is removed, the true Self will be seen in its real form. Atma Jnana is not obtainable through books, preceptors or even Paramatma (the Supreme Self). You are yourself theParamatma, the Jnana, the Atma.
