Be stable at the Confluence - Words of Wisdom

[Guest guest]

dear friends

 

First of all we must know that prayers by mouth and meditation by mind do not

have any value like offerring a cup of water to the guest has no value. Even in

the hotel one can drink a cup of water without paying anything. If you ask the

Lord to protect you for your prayer and meditation it is something like charging

the customer for drinking a cup of water in the hotel. Only service to the Lord

in terms of sacrifice of work (Karma Sanyasa) and Sacrifice of fruit of work

(Karma Phala Tyaga) can have the value like serving a plate of meals to the

customer in the hotel. Ofcourse the plate of meals should be always associated

with drinking water also. Similarly the service to the Lord should also be

associated with prayers and meditation.

 

Service without prayer and meditation is ninety-nine percent and cannot be one

hundred percent. The prayer and meditation have significance and value only when

they are associated with the service. Therefore asking for protection after

prayer or meditation is not at all justified. Ofcourse asking for protection

after the service associated with prayer and meditation is justified but not

appreciable. When you ask for the fruit, it shall be given according to the

value of your service only. But if you don’t ask for the fruit your service

attains infinite value and you will get the permanent protection from the Lord

without any account of your service. Are you asking your son for the fruit as

soon as you serve him? Whatever service you can, you have done to your son and

when you become old whatever service he can he renders it to you. Is there any

account between you and your son?

 

If you deserve, the Lord will protect you and you need not remind Him about

this. If you do not deserve He cannot voilate His own rules and administration

for the sake of an undeserving fellow. If you are not asking Him for any favour,

you are a good follower of His administration and He will be pleased with you

even without your prayers and worship. He will become angry if you ask Him to

protect you even if you deserve, because he becomes angry since you have

unnecessarily reminded Him. He becomes angry with you if you do not deserve,

because you are asking the Lord to voilate His own administration. Therefore in

both the cases you should not mention your desire for protection or for any

other fruit before the Lord. Though no body is there to question the Lord even

if He voilates the rules, the angels and sages are constantly looking at Him

through meditation. If the Lord voilates the rules in the case of undeserving,

these divine devotees will be shakened in their impression about the Lord and

their meditation is spoiled. Therefore the Lord will never harm the divine

devotees.
