Message For the Day…” Look at the Unity inherent in Your Hand … “

NatarajanLeave a comment

Tell your hand, “Oh hand, how sacred you are? You are unity personified. One finger cannot lift a cup; when one finger moves to pick it up, all of you, though different in sizes and shape, rush to help and hold the cup! You don’t care for or observe any difference. Such is the unity inherent in you, amongst your fingers. Oh hand, you are very helpful in preserving the human body, you remove troubles through your hard work and you help others. Why do you sometimes act in a manner that develops enmity? Today there is no unity in any congregation, society or religion. However, you know no hatred. Please never indulge in wrong actions.” Thus instruct and guide your hand so that your actions become sacred. When your thoughts, words and deeds are sanctified, all the other instruments also follow suit and thus you attain liberation.

Message For the Day…” Fill your Heart with Love for God…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Love is a precious diamond that can be got only in the realm of love and nowhere else. The kingdom of Love is located in every love-filled heart. Love can be experienced only in a mind flowing with love. The precious diamond of Love cannot be obtained merely through meditation or following prescribed sacred rituals. At best they only give mental satisfaction. The greater your love for God, the greater is the bliss you experience. When love declines in you, your joy also declines proportionally. Hence you must fill your heart with love for God. Love will not enter your heart if it is already filled with selfishness and self-conceit. Hence forget your petty self and concentrate your thoughts on God. If you love God, you will see Him everywhere. The essence of all spiritual disciplines is contained in Love.

Message For the Day…” Brahmam is the basis for Nature, Living Beings and God…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

The Reality which sustains the cosmos and the cell is one, the all-pervasive Consciousness (Brahmam). When this infinite vastness is related to the cosmos, it is called the ‘Supreme Divine’ (Paramatma). It is called Atma when it is considered as the core of individual beings. All three are one entity, but they ‘appear’ different and delude the short-sighted. This characteristic is known as Maya. The Supreme Power uses the three Gunas, serenity (Satwa), activity (Rajas) and inertia (tamas) to express Itself differently. The Gunas urge a person towards knowing, desiring or working. When Maya impels Brahmam to project itself, leveraging Satwa Guna, it appears as Eshwara or God. Brahmam projects itself as living beings (Jivi) leveraging Rajo Guna. It becomes Nature (Prakriti) when associated with Tamo Guna. Thus Brahmam is the basis of all three – Nature, Living Beings and God. Maya is the mirror in which Brahmam is reflected.

Message For the Day…” Without Moral Values Humanity Can not Survive…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

The foundation for everything is morality. Without moral values, humanity cannot survive. Often, people of different religions hold on to different objectives and are unable to see the underlying reality, and as a result have different opinions. For example: one says a rupee consists of 4 quarter rupees and another says it is 2 half-rupees and the third says it is ten 10 paisa. All these denominations mean the same rupee. Only ignorant people, who become dogmatic and fail to perceive this oneness, imagine differences and resort to criticizing each other. Sacred scriptures have taught that there should be no arguments or debates on religious matters. They must be resolved peacefully. The guidelines of all religions lead to the end goal of Truth and Righteousness.

Message For the day…” What is the Difference Between Truth and Fact …” ?

NatarajanLeave a comment

There is no God other than Truth. What is the difference between Truth and fact? You may put on a coat today and wear a different dress tomorrow. This is not Truth, it is only a fact, because it is subject to change. But Truth always remains the same. The Gita refers to Truth as Ritham. So Truth is not reporting what you see, hear, and experience. What you see and hear is worldly truth. It is not Truth in the strict sense of the word. It is only external truth (pravritti satyam). But the inward Truth (nivritti satyam) remains the same in the past, present, and the future. In this world of plurality, there is the underlying principle of unity. Of all the numbers 1,2, 3, 4.. the most important number is 1. AIl the other numbers are mere modifications of the number 1. 1+1 becomes 2. 9–1 becomes 8. Thus 1 forms the basis for all the numbers. This is the unity in multiplicity, this Unity is the Truth.

Message For the Day…” No Religion Preaches Enemity…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

No religion ever preached enmity amongst faiths. It is the narrow-mindedness in individuals that gives room for conflicts and differences. Truly speaking, there can be no scope for any such disputes. For example, the word ‘Islam’ means surrender and peace – signifying surrender to God, and a peaceful life with fellow beings. Two words in Quran are important – Salaat and Zakaat; Salaat means adoring God with steadfast devotion, Zakaat means charity to the needy and destitute, and helping fellow beings. Ancient Hindus lived with the motto, “May all the beings in all the worlds be happy” (Lokah Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu) and “Help Ever, Hurt Never” (Paropakarayah punyaya, papaya para peedanam). Treating such aphorisms as their life breath, people of all religions lived with amity and harmony in the past. They considered truth, peace, love and forbearance as their very life breath.

Message For the Day… ” Integrity or Wholesomeness of Conduct is Morality …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Religions are set forth in order that people enjoy the benefits of leading a moral life. Religion is a meritorious system that unifies body, mind and intellect. Integrity or wholesomeness of conduct is morality. Morality is also called as Righteousness (Dharma). Practice of morality alone can help the world attain greater levels of prosperity. All religions have the same goal and establish the same truth. Their fundamental duty is to transform a human being into a divine being. Religion brings out the inner transformation in a human being. It aims at developing self-confidence to lead a good life. All religions are built on the secure foundation of morality. If morality deteriorates, not just religions, but humanity as a whole deteriorates. Every individual must practice being good and lead a moral life. Attainment of wealth and prosperity is possible by practicing moral values.

Message For the Day…” Teach your Tongue Not to criticize anybody…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

You eat food daily, take in thousands of grains! Have you ever calculated how many rice grains you have consumed? However the moment one minute stone comes in the rice you eat, you are very unhappy that day and complain that your food has stones. Similarly your life is three fourths happiness and one fourth sorrow. But you become a victim to sorrow. You choose to give more importance to sorrow than happiness. This is an animal quality (Pashu Lakshanam). Teach your tongue not to lose its reputation by following the wrong path. Your tongue is capable of raising you to Divine or droop to that of an animal. If someone is good to you, the tongue praises them as God Himself. If someone harms you, the tongue then equates them to an animal. Teach your tongue to ever chant the Name of the Lord and never to criticize anybody!

Message For the Day….” Humility is the Hallmark of True Education …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Many feel proud of the enormous growth in education everywhere. Acquiring degrees at great cost and developing contempt for one’s parents out of intellectual pride is not a sign of higher education. Arrogance, envy and ostentation should have no place in an educated person. Humility is the hallmark of true education. The educated must serve people through sweat and toil. Education must inspire youth to offer service, to sacrifice and to help. It must not inspire youth to amass money as its goal, and to travel farther and farther to earn more and more of it. Accumulated money often breeds arrogance and its army of other vices. You cannot crave for peace and happiness and do things that bring unhappiness and worry. Having been born as human beings, you must try to rise above the level of animals and raise yourself to be truly Divine.

A Lovely Message on ‘Value’ …..

A lovely message on ‘Value’ –

I had known a friend of mine who used to say that he misplaces and loses his pen very often.
He will use only very cheap pens so that he need not worry about losing them. He was worried about carelessness habit.
I suggested him to buy the costliest pen he could afford and see what happens.
He did that and purchased a 22 carat Cross pen. After nearly six months I met him and asked him, if he continues to misplace his pen.
He said that he is very careful about his costly pen and he is surprised how he has changed!
I explained to him that the value of the pen made the difference and there was nothing wrong with him as a person!
This is what happens in our life.
We are careful with things which we value most.
* If we value our health, we will be careful about what and how we eat;
* if we value our friends, we will treat them with respect;
* if we value money, we will be careful while spending;
* if we value our time, we will not waste it.
*if we value relationship we will not break it.Carefulness is a basic trait all of us have, we know when to be careful!
Carelessness only shows what we don’t value……
