“வேதத்துக்கு நிகரான மந்திரம் …”

வேதத்திற்கு நிகரான மந்திரம்

திருமூலர் திருமந்திரம்

யாவர்க்குமாம் இறைவற்கொரு பச்சிலை
யாவர்க்குமாம் பசுவுக்கொரு வாயுறை
யாவர்க்குமாம் உண்ணும் போதொரு கைப்பிடி
யாவர்க்குமாம் பிறர்க்கு இன்னுரைதானே

இந்த மந்திரம் வேதத்திற்கு சமமானதாகும்.
எளிமையான ஆனால் வலிமையான பதப்பிரயோகம் இதில் உபதேசிக்கப்பட்ட தர்மங்களை யாரும் எவ்வித கஷ்டமும் இல்லாமல் எப்போதும் செய்யலாம்.
பகவான் பக்தியைத் தான் பார்க்கிறார். பக்தன் என்னை கொண்டு வந்திருக்கிறான் என்று பார்ப்பதில்லை. சில பச்சிலைகளைப் போட்டால் பரமேஸ்வரன் திருப்தி அடைந்து விடுகிறார்.
இதை யாரும் செய்யலாம். ஒரு பிடி புல்லை கோமாதாவான பசுவுக்கு ஊட்டலாம். இதில் முப்பத்து முக்கோடி தேவதைகளும் திருப்தி அடைந்து விடுகிறார்கள். இதையும் யாரும் எளிதில் செய்யலாம்.
தான் சாப்பிடும் ஆகாரத்தில் ஒரு கைப்பிடி ஒரே ஒரு கைப்பிடி அடுத்தவனுக்கு வழங்கலாம். இதுவும் யாரும் செய்யக் கூடிய எளிமையானதே.
இவைகளில் எதையும் செய்ய முடியவில்லையா பரவாயில்லை. அடுத்தவனோடு பேசும் போது கடுப்படிக்காதே. இதமாகப் பேசு. பதமாகப் பேசு. இல்லையென்று சொன்னாலும் அதையும் இனிமையாகச் சொல். இதையாவது செய்யலாமே.
நாம் மூச்சடக்க வேண்டாம். பேச்சடக்க வேண்டாம். நம்மை கடைத்தேற்றக் கூடிய எளிமையான அறங்கள் இவைகளில் எந்த ஒன்றையாவது செய்து பார்க்கலாமே.
ஒரு கை புல், ஒரு கை பொரி அன்போடு படைத்தால் விநாயகர் வசப்பட்டு விடுவார்.
சில துளசி இலைகளில் மகா விஷ்ணு வசப்பட்டு விடுவார்.
சில துளி கங்கா தீர்த்தம் பரமேஸ்வரன் உச்சி குளிர்ந்து விடுகிறார்.
சின்னச் சின்ன அகல் விளக்குகளில் மகாலட்சுமி பிரசன்னமாகி விடுகிறாள்.
இப்படி அன்போடு செய்யப்படும் பக்தியால் இறைவனை அடையலாம். ஆன்மீகம் என்றால் அன்புதான்.

Joke of the DAY… ” That is Mine … “!!!

After Florida coach Steve Spurrior passes away and enters the Pearly Gates, God takes him on a tour. He shows Steve a little 2-bedroom house with a faded UF banner hanging from the front porch. “This is your home, Coach. Most people don’t get their own house up here,” God exclaims.

Little Steve looks at the house, then turns around and looks at the one sitting on the top of the hill. It’s a huge two-story mansion with white marble columns and little patios under all of the windows. LSU flags line both sides of the sidewalk with a huge purple and gold LSU banner hanging between the marble columns.

“Thanks for the home, God, but let me ask you a question. I get this little 2 bedroom house with a faded Florida banner, and Nick Saban gets a mansion with new LSU banners and flags flying all over the place. Why is that?”

God looks at him seriously for a moment and then replies, “That’s not Saban’s house, that’s mine!!!!!”

Message For the Day…” Inner Purity is the Greatest Wealth One Can Acquire…”

Only by the light of the Divine lamp inside can  blossom  you as a worthwhile person. Inner purity is the greatest wealth that one can acquire; it is the wick in the container of the heart. Devotion is the oil and Divine Grace is the fire with which the lamp of wisdom can be lit. The prime requisite for achieving Divine Grace is to have harmony in thought, word and deed.

 

Message For the Day…” Who Is God … ” ?

What or who is God? When the answer to this question is sought, one discovers that God is the glory immanent in Nature. The earth rotates on its axis at a speed of thousand miles an hour. As a consequence, we have alternations of day and night, which helps us to live on this globe. Besides, it moves around the sun at the rate of 66,000 miles an hour, causing the seasons which bring rains for crops and vegetation which sustain human life. The earth does not profit in the least by these rotations but human beings survive, enjoy life and prosper on account of them. Nature must indeed be laughing at the sterile frenzies, the endless pursuits, and the countless miseries to which human beings submit themselves to, in their search for achieving the unachievable! You must search in Nature the sacred lessons it holds for you; then, you will understand how deep and how everlasting is the Truth that it conveys to you!

Message For the Day…” Good Conduct Must be the Main Key to Your Life … “

Lord Krishna declares in the Bhagavad Gita, “There is nothing in the three worlds that I am obliged to do, nothing unaccomplished that I have to accomplish, but I am still engaged in activity (karma)”. Lord Krishna says this, for, if God is inactive, the Cosmos will come to a grinding halt. You too, must take the lead and follow it. Translate your strength into activity along the path of duty. The young follow the lead of elders. So elders must consistently hold on to ideals and work towards their realization so that the entire universe can attain prosperity and peace. Mother Earth teaches her children this lesson of service and sacrifice. Good conduct must be the main key to the life of every being. Remember, it is the ‘way of living,’ the path of virtue, that keeps you in the memory of people long after death.

Sathya Sai Baba

Message For the Day…” Do Not Allow Your Mind to Boss over You …”

All of you are pilgrims in the journey towards the city of liberation. Every life is but a stage in the journey, your body is a rest-house for a short stay during the pilgrimage. The mind is the caretaker in the place of our rest. Do not treat the Mind as a Master or Owner, but take care of it so that the house we are privileged to occupy is not damaged or polluted. We must treat the watchman politely and not destroy its interiors. A restless mind is an important source of ill-health. Many are constantly afflicted with some source of worry or other, never free from anxiety. Why? Because they are identifying themselves with the body! One acquires their body, through their past activities and deeds, caused by the twin pulls of love and hate. You can escape from this cycle, if you realize the Oneness of the Divine being present in you and in everyone.

Sathya Sai Baba

Message For the Day…” Yearn For the Happiness and Prosperity of all Mankind…”

Virtuous living, beneficial thoughts, elevating ideals and righteous conduct can confer not only good health, but what is even more precious, Aatmaananda, the ecstatic Awareness of the Reality itself. When one yearns for the happiness and prosperity of all mankind, he or she is blessed with the wisdom and strength to mark out the way and lead them towards it. The person sees one’s chosen God in everyone. Every act of theirs will be as pure, as sincere and as sacred as an offering to God. A very effective way to conquer all sources of physical and mental disease and debility is awareness of one’s Divine (Aatmic) Reality. That will bring about an upsurge of Love and Light, for, when one recognises that he or she is the Atma, one would cognize the same Atma in all, and share in the joy and grief, strength and weakness of all.

Sathya Sai Baba

Message For the Day…” Desire Distorts and Denigrates the Mind…”

As a pilgrim, you are helped or handicapped by the antics of the mind. The mind has as its warp and woof, desire or thirst for something or the other, getting some gain or avoiding some loss. Desire arises from attachment, which is a consequence of delusion. Desire distorts and denigrates the mind, and keeps it incessantly agitated. No sheet of water can be calm when stones drop on it, and if there is a perpetual shower of desires, it will be pitifully restless. The bliss which emanates from the Soul (Atma) must be stored leveraging the reservoir of your mind (Buddhi). But, if the reservoir has many cracks and crevices (senses), bliss (Aananda) will be frittered away rendering the reservoir of mind dry. When the hunger of the senses is sought to be appeased, your mind becomes vacillating and wayward. Your mind’s legitimate role is to be the master of your senses, which are its servants.

Sathya Sai Baba

Message For the Day…” Appreciate the Legitimate Role of the Mind as The Master of Senses..”

In the Ramayana story, Queen Kaikeyi yields to the selfish wiles of her maid and as a consequence, her lord King Dasaratha lost his life. Rama who she regarded as her very life-breath was exiled into the forest, and Bharatha her son, disowned her for the very same act! She drew on herself the condemnation from all the people in the Kingdom of Ayodhya. The story is an allegory. Dasaratha is the human body with the five senses of perception and the five senses of action – the ten chariots or Dasha-ratha. He wedded the Queen, the Mind, and the mind yielded to the servant and caused the downfall. This clearly teaches us the legitimate role of the mind as the master of one’s senses. If the master serves the servants, then, he or she loses their self-respect and falls in the esteem of all.
