Message For The Day…Devotion is the Water to Wash Away Ego and Attachment…

NatarajanLeave a comment

The greatest obstacle in the path of surrender is egoism (ahamkaram) and Attachment or Possessiveness (mamakaram). This is ingrained in your personality since ages and its tentacles go deeper and deeper with the experience of every succeeding life. It can be removed only by the twin detergents of discrimination and renunciation. Devotion is the water to wash away this dirt of ages, and the soap of japam, dhyaanam and yoga (repetition of God’s name, meditation and communion) will help to remove it quicker and more effectively. Slow and steady progress will surely win the race in this one; quicker means of travel can spell disaster. Proceed step by step in your spiritual practices – placing one steady step before you take the next. Do not waver or slide back two paces with one step forward. Cultivate deep faith – that will make your progress steady!

Message For The Day….Hold Fast To Noble Ideals….

NatarajanLeave a comment

In the present, practice of devotion, worship and rituals are for the sake of better comforts and more luxury for the individuals themselves. Devotion has degenerated into a business deal. Often one prays, “Please give me this, I shall give You so much.” If they feel one shrine promises more, the current shrine is given up. If even in the new shrine, one does not get quick returns, then they quickly look elsewhere to some ‘other’ God who gives more profit! Many people wander in this manner. Some also think, “If I stand amongst many others, God will not notice me. I must stand in a unique position and shout to attract His attention!” Do not behave foolishly! Hold fast to noble ideals. Do not try to bring down the Almighty to your limited vision. Rise up, strengthen your detachment and establish yourself in discrimination, then your goal is brought nearer.

Message For The Day…Devotion to God Purifies Your Heart….

NatarajanLeave a comment

Wavering and indecisiveness will affect you, if you want to practice Righteousness. If you are not stabilized in the Knowledge of the Self, you will not have a good sense of direction for your actions, nor will you achieve true victory. That is why the Geetha lays so much emphasis on the necessity to know both the kshethra (field or the body) and the kshethrajna (the Knower in the body). Know both, and then, you are entitled to the title, Amrithasya Puthraah: “Children of Immortality.” Through devotion to God alone, this knowledge can be attained. Devotion also purifies your heart and elevates your inner feelings and gives you a broad, universal vision and brings to you the Grace of God. Plants cannot rise up to drink the life giving fluid from clouds, hence the clouds come down and pour as rain.

Devotion and morality are very important for physical health. They free your mind from agitation, and feed it with joy and contentment. –

Message For The Day….Devotion to God Is To be Like Divine Love…

NatarajanLeave a comment

Devotion to God is not to be calculated on the basis of the institutions one has started or helped, the temples one has built or renovated, the donations one has given, nor does it depend on the number of times one has written or recited the Names of the Lord, or the time and energy one spent in the worship of Lord. These are not vital – they are not even secondary! Devotion is Divine Love, unsullied by any tinge of desire for the benefit that flows from it or the fruit or consequence of that love. Love knows no particular reason for its manifestation. Divine Love is akin to the love of the river for the sea, the creeper for the tree, the spring for the cliff down which it flows. It is an unchanging loving attitude, a desirable bent of the mind, standing steady through joy and grief, ever sweet – in good times and bad!

Lunch With God !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

BEAUTIFUL EPISODE – INTERESTING – THOUGHT PROVOKING

A little boy wanted to meet GOD.

He knew it was a long trip to where GOD lived, so he packed his backpack with sandwiches and a six-pack of lemonades, and started his journey.

When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old man sitting on a bench. The oldman was sitting in the park staring at some pigeons.

The boy sat down next to him and opened his backpack. He was about to take a drink from his lemonade when he noticed that the old man looked hungry, so he offered him a sandwich.

The old man gratefully accepted it and smiled at the little boy. His smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered him a lemonade.

Again, the old man smiled at him. The boy was delighted!

They sat there all afternoon eating, drinking and smiling, and they never said a word. As it grew dark, the little boy realised how tired he was and he got up to leave. But before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old man and gave him a hug. The old man gave the little boy his biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him, What did you do today that made you so happy?

He replied, “I had lunch with GOD.” But before his mother could respond, he added, “You know what? He has the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen!”

Meanwhile, the old man, also radiant with joy, returned to his home. His son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and asked, “Dad, what did you do today that made you so happy?”

He replied, “I ate sandwiches in the park with GOD.” Before his son responded, he added, “You know, God’s much younger than I expected.”

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Remember, we don’t know what God looks like. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.Embrace all equally!
