Sairam,

Today afternoon i had been to whitefield for darshan.

Bhajan started at approx. 4.10 PM, and, swamy came around 4.20 PM
and enjoyed the bhajans.

Later he called upon Shri. Sanjay Mahalingam, who did his MBA from
SSIHL, and now pursuing Phd. to deliver a lecture.

The Main Essence of the Lecture had been on three aspects::

a) True Love

b) Realising the purpose of life understanding the questions who am
I? why i am here? where i am going/ heading? and what is my purpose
in life?

c) Wht is EGO? and how to avoid it?

The Lecture had been for about 30 mins and then aarti was given and
swamy left at 5.25 PM. He had been around 1 hr 10 minutes.

I will try to recollect as much as i can from the speech given by
sanjay and post it here for the other devotees.

a) TRUE LOVE.

True Love can be only obtained from one and only one person. tht is
GOD himself.
The DIVINE PARENT alone is eligible for this.

b) Introspection.

A small story was narrated on this:

" Once there lived a guru and 10 disciples. He asked all of his
disciples to go the nearby river and have bath and come back. He
ordered the senior most disciple to be careful to count the number
of people before and after and to ensure that all 10 of them reach
back to him.

The disciples left the place and then the senior disciple started
counting the number, he counted 1 .. 2.. 3..  ... 9 and forgot to
count himself. he started worrying how to show face to his guru.
then remaining disciples also started counting and ended on the same
note. they were all confused and embarassed at their situation.

Then a saint passed by that place, understood their problem and then
he asked all of the disciples to stand in a line and say aloud 1..
etc. then all of them started counting 1..2..3..9..10.. they were
happy and felt comfortable.

The moral of the story is : When you forget about ur true self, u
face miseries and start worrying on the things tht u see, just like
the senior person he neglected himself.

Where did the 10th person came from? it didn't come from outside it
is there among the disciples themselves. until and until they
realized that they are 10, they were not happy. same is the case
with people in the world today. they start neglecting on the essence
of their true self and forget their reality and waste time in doing
things whoch are not essential and try to find happiness in worldy
things leading themselves to miseries and sorrowful happiness,

so my dear friends contemplate, introspect and understand the true
meaning of ur life and understand who u are. u are nothing but the
parabrahma swaroopa. u r the eternal atma. u r the god. only when u
see thru the eyes of God, u can understand the meaning of life and
find the same eternal being in each and every particle of the world.

c) What is EGO?

He narrated another story here:

Once a person went to an uninvited marriage ceremony. the bridegroom
side thought he is from bride's side and started showering him nice
respect and good service. the bride's side thought that he is
special invitee from bridegroom's side and started respecting and
treating him specially too. he enjoyed this nice service from both
the bridegroom's as well as bride's side.

Later once both the sides got a doubt and decided to approach this
person. then tht person realising the situation left the place.

The person here refers to the EGO.. the people doesn't know the
presence of it until they understand its identity. it exists
evrywhere and enjoys its place.

so my dear friends dont allow ego to enjoy in ur hearts and lead you
to some unnecessary illusion.

Cast away the EGO and enjoy the TRUE LOVE showered by our beloved
lord by understanding your true identity and devoting your lives to
the real purpose of life.
This is the only gift we can give to our beloved sai and this is
what each and every person has to aim for in his life.

Om sri sai ram.
