Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Bondages and Virtues - Words of Wisdom Three good things have happened to us that the bondages of the kaliyug has finished. The bondages of the iron age were very bitter. The bitter bondages of the iron-aged are very dangerous. They don't let allow us to be experience peace. They don't allow us to experience happiness. So, If you want to break those bondages, then let God know and God will say yes if you want to break those bondages, don't worry I'll break them for you. God will break them very easily. You shouldn't have the thought 'what will happen to me'? The bondages of the iron-age had to be broken away, then what happens? The web of attachment breaks away that you will become free from the web of attachment. I don't want anything and nothing belongs to me. If you let go, it will go and when you let go, you will be free. Either we don't let go of others or others are holding on to us. You will say O.K. How can I let go, they will say no, no hold on! They will keep on holding on to us. And then the third benefit that happened I have forgotten everything. So, the bitter bondages of the Iron age have been broken away. And we become free from everything else and what else is left? Every thing is forgotten. I don't remember anything. I don't remember anything from the past. When you meet someone, you remember past things about that person. Yes. We met this and that the other and so now we meet them, but we don't remember the past. It is so good I don't remember anyone apart from God. So, I remember God. What else do I remember? God is the Lord of Innocence ( Bolonath).So, He is very good. He is very innocent. We have the song that we have met and we have attained the Innocent God. He is so Innocent, He is so sweet. He doesn't ask you "who are you? where have you come from ?" When you call, He comes in, which is your luck. The poor ones when they receive a little bit of food they become very happy and they sleep on the floor. They still sleep very well. Rich ones live in big houses and yet they can't sleep. They take the medicines, the sleeping tablets and then they go to sleep. The poor ones don't have any worries but the rich ones have a lot of worries. They live in big palaces and houses yet they can only sleep when they have so many security people around. All they have is fear, nothing else. It is with a great deal of difficulty that they attained the seat that means the position and they attained it but somebody else is ready to steal it. All the time they are taking and stealing, attaining things through corruption. So how do they live? At least the poor ones work hard and they eat of their own effort. They eat together with a lot of happiness, not like the rich ones who can't even eat with that happiness. They are without fear. All of you and my self, we have constant happiness. Will anyone, any one of you, are you poor? No. It is said there is so much poverty in the world but I am asking you the question No.1 where is the wealth of all the rich ones going? No. 2 is where is the money of the government going? & where is the other money going? In shopping centres, in hotels, in movies & complexes like that. That's where the money is wasted. The people who have built all these big shopping centres through out the world how much fear do they have? They keep on invoking customers. They have all that worry to invoking the customers and how free are we? People who are poor never say they don't have money. We can not say I don't have something or I have a lot of wealth. Would you say that my body, my mind, my wealth, my relations are full with that honesty, is this right? My mind, my body, my connections, don't say the word - my. Mind, body, wealth and relationships(connections). People outside completely depend on desires. All they worried about is where will the next meal come from? All they are worried about the customers, they are worried about the relationships and the children's and they are constantly comparing Oh! This ones house is so good, the furniture is so good & I don't have this. They feel that "my house is not good. How can I invite others here?" All the time they are thinking about that. Yes, my dress should be good, my every thing should be good. In the morning they have one dress, in the afternoon another dress and in the evening another dress and my glasses should be very good. Some one says "my shoes are not good". This is all they are thinking throughout the day. People ask what kind of glasses you are wearing?" Old people's glasses are changing. Others are saying that my shoe is not good. There is a place where there is no wash basin to wash the hands. We used to wash the hands by putting water in a little bowl. It is not a big thing. All we need is to make the food with lot of love and smile and sharing with others with love. No matter how many guests come, yes let them, they are coming to god's house. It is not a big thing for you to put the pan on one, and on the other you put another pan and you make rotti or parota, and you feed them all. That's not a big thing. All you need is a honest heart. Remember god with the honest heart and do every thing with an honest heart. Then the heart will remain very happy. Remember god with a lot of happiness. In service you receive lot of happiness. What will we do with paper notes? There was a time where some body had a sack full of paper notes. Then the government was to come to catch them and what they did was, they throw it into the ocean, that they wouldn't be caught. What are these hands for? what are these eyes, these ears & the mouth for? To see good things, to speak good things, to hear good things. So much goodness. So how good is it that I have to see and to hear. Even though you may speak two words but speak very sweetly. Don't speak such things that hurt other people's heart. If the same mouth that speaks but some people's words cut away and some people joined things together. The same person, the same human beings speaks such words that breaks somebody's heart. If you have to speak with them they say "Oh! they wouldn't do things like this and they should do many like that. Be peaceful. In fact you can't tell them anything at that time. Because you can't tell them not to do anything because they will get more angry. There are some who speaks such words that, they cause the burdens and the sorrow of others. About 20 years ago, we had the slogan speak slowly, speak softly, speak less and added speak honestly. So, If teach myself this what will happen? So to speak sweetly I have to train myself to do that. To speak bitter words is easy. But if my nature is like that, my sound, my tone is just like that. I am not saying anything wrong. My intention was nothing wrong but my tone is just like that. They still continue to move forward like that with us. Seeing whether someone has experienced happiness or sorrow through their behavior at least I should have the concern that let me speak such words that I can get blessings from the hearts of others. So who will teach that to us? Those who value the time and know that it is the confluence age will teach themselves this. I won't see anyone else. I will change myself. So who will change? There are 3 things within a person, who wants to change. They don't want to see others, they want to see their life, say I want to change. Some say they have worry & they are concerned and they take sorrow and they say, they are worried about and so they get better. No matter how much they are going to worry and know how much worry they take from it and does that persons care whether they are worried. On the path of Bakthi there is a song that one who removes the sorrows of others, their sorrow is removed by Ram the God. So even let me help to remove the sorrows of others amd god will automatically remove my sorrow. Second song on the path of bhakti is have mercy on the ones who are experiencing sorrow and claim the blessings from the other and Father. Take the blessing from the Supreme Being, the Father and keep on removing sorrows of others. The sorrow that I have brought, He takes that away and I experience that peace and then when I see sorrow in others let me not take that sorrow and let me also not give them sorrow. When I don't take sorrow, I don't give sorrow. Whenever there is anything don't take the sorrow. So from today who wants to change? The value of life where someone is taking sorrow and giving sorrow is even less worth than the shells. Just Think about it. The time that you passed experiencing sorrow and what is the time like? Even if someone is giving them happiness at that time, experience it as a soul. If a habit of experiencing sorrow is being created then that is what they want. At the present time they are not experiencing any sorrow, but they feel it. You need two virtues in order to let go of the sorrow and change it instantly.These two virtues are: Tolerance and Contentment. Just I am content. I don't need anything and I am contented. Wherever I am, I am content. I am content living with love and staying with happiness. Just for a minute think about it for your self. Are you content? You have God's help. Are you content? When there is a thought I want peace, I want peace then how much peacelessness is there in this? The Two hands together doesn't just mean to say namaste, but it also mean don't want anything. I have enough. I don't want anything, I have everything. So remember this. Never allow the eyes to be anywhere else. Many, many people have invited me to their homes. But I don't remember what they have and what they don't have. What is it to me? So, it is like through out the whole day people are just thinking: "I need this, I need this; looking and thinking, " I need this". So what will they be like? Second one is Tolerance. If someone says something it's o.k. No need to worry about it. When the tolerance is lacking, you become sensitive. If someone says something, tears start to come or even if they have not said anything, you have that touching "I have tolerated too much, I have tolerated too much". So when you feel, you have to have tolerance, that means you are experiencing sorrow. And when you don't have tolerance, you spin your sorrow all the time. Somebody may say something, but if you have the virtue of tolerance, you feel that they didn't say anything. Two things that make people very unhappy inside. They are imagining & misunderstanding. Imagination means that they start to imagine "this should have happen, that should have happened". Misunderstanding is that they don't understand. so it is with that imagination they all the time are thinking. What happens, whenever someone come in front of them they become very dry & wilted. you don't know how and what is the meaning to be loving & to be honest. Where there is love and honesty there is happiness. Even though the house may be full of everything and if there is not that honesty and love then with the imagination, you are always scared.and worried what you are to say and what you said. People don't love themselves, neither do they love others. They have lot of expectations. "This one is not doing something and that one is not something. I don't have this, I don't have that and these expectations don't allow them to be happy. If you want to live in this world, then firstly you need patience, peace & love. You need 3 things in your house and in your heart. Patience, Peace & Love. Don't become impatient and speak with a loud voice. There is anger & peacelessness when patience is not there. We shouldn't correct others directly.. To comment on others, to give correction and to criticise others means to give them sorrow. There was once an old lady who said " I don't know how to give love and I Said " come I will teach you how to give love. First, you love yourself and do good actions and give a lot of love to yourself. To eat, to drink, to walk with that love. So when you wake up in the morning, wake up with that smile. Just stay with everyone also, keep on smiling with every one and there is nothing difficult. ( Don't use the word, difficult). Everything is easy. The impossible becomes possible. Nothing is silly. When you sleep at night, sleep smiling & so in your dreams you will be smiling. Then you will be in Satyug. O.K. Keep on smiling Nothing is difficult. Don't ever feel experience sorrow.
