Divine Message of His Holiness Shri Datta Swami

Yoga means to recognise and reach real human form of God. Actually this word

means ‘to meet’. If your association with him is permanent that is called

eternal yoga. For this purpose, you should love that God and your love with such

God should exceed all your loves in the world. Your love in the world is with

non living things like wealth and living things like your relatives as parents,

wife, husband, children etc. This non-living wealth is meant for the living

things only. So, if your love with living things is cut naturally love with non

living things is also cut. These loves with your relatives are the obstacles to

your pure love with God. This means clearly that you should not love anything or

any body except God. These worldly loves are the revolving whirlpools present in

the ocean of world. When you are crossing this world (Samsara) by swimming,

these whirl pools will attract, revolve and drown you in the way. Hence, you

should not swim straightly. You should swim in a curved

manner like a serpent. This point has again the inner meaning. This means you

should not be straight in the case of your love or bonds with your family

members. You should act as if you love them because all your love is only on

God. To avoid hurting them such a behaviour is not cheating or a sin. Therefore

you are called as ‘Anagha’. Anagha means sinless and she alone attained and is

seen by the side of Lord. Anagha is the wife of Datta. This means that Anagha is

that human being who reaches Datta. Anybody irrespective of male or female is

Anagha because God is the husband of all the human beings. Therefore Anagha does

not mean a lady. Why cheating the family bonds is not a sin? Instead of such

cheating you may say that it is better to cut the family bonds and leave the

family for the sake of God. You should not do like that. If you do so, you get

the sin by hurting them. Then you cannot be Anagha and you cannot reach Datta.

Cheating them is not a sin but hurting them is a sin.

Actually, if we analyse, your cheating is not at all a cheating. Actually, such

a cheating is justified because the family bonds are temporary for this birth

and so unreal. Anything temporary is unreal as proved by Aadi Shankara in his

commentary. For example, a temporary mother-son bond in the shooting of a cinema

is unreal during the shooting time also. Therefore cheating the unreal bond is

not a sin.

Cheating the family bonds is not at all a sin, from another angle also. The

family bond itself is a cheating bond. The reason is your relative loves you for

his or her happiness only and not for your happiness. A wife loves her husband

because her husband is giving happiness to her. Similarly the husband loves his

wife. Similar is the case in all our loves of the world.

When Sage Yajnavalkya was taking Sanyasa, his two wives followed him stating

that they love him. But, Yajnavalkya told as said in Vedas ‘one loves anybody

for his or her selfish happiness (Atmanaha kamaya sarvam priyam bhavati). He

told them that if they leave him, he will be happy and then only their love on

him was real. Both the wives who were scholars understood the truth and left

him. So, all these worldly loves are cheating bonds. Therefore, cheating of a

cheating bond is not a cheating. This is called Raja Yoga, which is greater than

Sanyasa yoga in which you leave the family and hurt them. In Raja Yoga you reach

the goal and also make the family happy. Therefore, king Janaka a Raja Yogi was

greater than Suka who was a Sanyasi and the former was the examiner of the

latter.
