Highlights of Bhagawan's Discourse

 

 

Embodiments of Love,

 

 

For the body, health is very important. This in turn is dependent on the food

and drink we partake. There is no dearth of health in this hospital. However it

is very important that we should also have happiness while we pursue work here.

In comparison to other hospitals our hospital gives opportunities for pursuing

both health and happiness. Mana Eva Manushyanaam Kaaranam Bandha Mokshayoho –

Mind is the reason for both attachment and detachment. When your mind is

relaxed all other happiness follows. Arogyam Moolamuthamam – Health is the most

important and noble thing. In today’s world the food we eat, the water we drink

and the air we breathe have all become polluted. Food and drink are directly

responsible for the

deterioration of health.

 

No doubt, food is an essential thing for health especially in that the food we

eat affects the feelings we develop. There is no point in simply stating lofty

goals if you do not take concrete measures to achieve them – at least the first

steps should be taken.

 

A Verse in Telugu:

(Even if you have wealth and property and righteousness, you are miserable if

you do not have children;

Even if you are highly academically qualified, if you do not have a job you feel miserable)

 

In today’s circumstances, one does not get both and if you need both you should

have both Positive and Negative within. Sadly we see only negative feelings

within today’s man. It becomes our bounden duty to seek and develop positive

within. Our senses are getting battered by only polluted items …naturally it

affects the physical health also…Vaidyo Narayano Hari….there needs to be unity

of thought word and deed while we perform our duties as doctors….when there is

dichotomy in thought and word or word and deed we get negative feelings

within…Doctors also must cleanse their hearts with Holy and Divine feelings…in

this Visaala Prapancham (wide world) one needs to develop

Visaala Bhaavam (Positive feelings and Broad vision) to banish negativity ….one

must distinguish between the physical heart and the HRIDAYA ( inner spiritual

heart).

 

Generally, you do not find doctors and nurses having the same type of approach

…however in our hospital all are working with a unity of purpose…no doubt the

external world does affect the desires and feelings of nurses and doctors…When

you are working here, do not allow outside influences to affect your

mind…development of one’s own self is a natural process…to attribute one’s

happiness, progress or prosperity to outside influences, one’s own knowledge in

the field or the education one has; is a kind of innocence…

 

A Telugu Verse again:

One reads a lot...becomes a great academic in his field …yet he does not know himself;

How much ever one becomes educated he does not lose his meanness;

If you analyze, higher one gets educated, higher is the level of argumentation

and lesser is the wisdom;

What is the point in struggling so much for studying …one should study that

which would liberate us!!

 

Human life is very expansive. Then why do we give place to narrow

mindedness…Past is past it will not come back…Future is not sure…Present is

very important…this is not an ordinary present….this is OMNIPRESENT…one needs

to develop all types of positive feelings in this Present to enjoy happiness

and bliss…one needs to always discriminate between the good and bad feelings

one experiences…accept only that which is elevating and gives you bliss and

reject the negative feelings

 

There is no dearth of facilities in our Hospital…we are not expecting any

commercial returns from this Hospital…you are aware that running a Hospital is

a costly affair…there are many who build Hospitals for the sake of returns…we

also seek returns…what type of returns…we want healthy outcomes…truly there is

no other wealth than health……

 

Embodiments of Love….I want you to understand that the differences in the

physical frames you see is not the truth…Truth is that the Atma within all of

you is the Same…there may be many bulbs (bodies) but the current within is the

same (like the Atma within)…when the LOVE which is within all of you is the

same then where is the question of differences…it may be that you have

different types of feelings towards you mother, your father, brother sister…but

the Atma within is the same...when you develop this equimindedness, you will

enjoy inexhaustible Bliss and Health too…

 

Many of you eat your food very fast….you should partake food slowly and with

good feelings in your heart…we should banish all bad feelings while eating

food…individuals as such do not have the digestive power…we pray

“Brahmarpanam…” before we eat and the answer we get is that “Aham Vaiswanaro

Bhoothva…”i.e God Himself is helping in digesting the food you eat….therefore

you should eat food with good thoughts in your heart…there are three types of

feelings in man …Swaartham (selfishness) Swa Artham (for personal purposes) and

Paraartham (for other’s sake)…it is natural for everyone to have some

selfishness…yet one should

strive to develop some amount of selflessness too….

 

“Help Ever...Hurt Never”. .as much as possible you should try to help

others…medicines have their own role in recovery of a patient but the feeling

with which it is given is more important…..man has Will Power from top to

toe…this Will Power is nothing but God’s own power….without this Divine Power,

man cannot take even one step forward…many people think that it is attained by

man’s efforts…it is only your imagination…what really propels you forward is

God’s Power alone…God’s Grace alone allows you to move about in this world.

 

Embodiments of Love…develop LOVE….when you have this LOVE in your heart you can

achieve anything…look at every one as Your very own…accept whatever happens as

for your own good….whether you are hit on your leg…or sustain illness…accept

that it is for your own good…and then try to get the remedy…In our hospital you

need to take the maximum number of precautions to give health and happiness back

to the patients…there may be some selfishness when you treat patients but there

need to be more of service and help when you treat patients…one cannot escape a

little bit of selfishness in this world…but you should also include some service

and selflessness while you treat patients.

 

Treat everything as God’s own work. When you see the patient and administer

medicine…when you give this Love of God, perform this as a Sadhana (spiritual

practice)…..unless you have spiritual practices you cannot succeed in this

world…..how much ever your efforts in this physical world…if you can add even a

little bit of spiritual power to your attempts your success is

assured!!….Discharge all your worldly responsibilities with this spiritual bent

of mind…pray that every patient you treat should regain his/her health …more

than the patient it is the doctors prayers that would give faster healing to

the patient!!…

 

God’s Nature is filled with selfless Love….you have kept water here…it is bland

in taste…but if you add some sugar it becomes sweet…the sweetness of sugar is

nature’s secret…when you suck water from a tumbler using a straw does the

tumbler or the straw feel the sweetness of the water….it is only the human

tongue that can experience the sweetness…our stomach is like the tumbler with

its sweetness…the intellect is like the straw, use the intellect to

discriminate between right and wrong and accept only that which is good.

 

Embodiments of Love, you are performing a lot of service to this country…because

there is a lack of such helpers in the world there is a lot of turbulence…one

should go on helping everyone….if not anything, giving water to a thirsty

person is also service…this way one can develop Paraartha also…

 

Embodiments of Love....it is not as if you do not know…still how many ever

number of times I tell, it is only when you take the first step and start

developing this feeling of love that you can work with selflessness…do

everything as God’s Own work…shun selfishness at work…try and develop a

selfless approach…when you treat everything as God’s work, you will surely

succeed!!….whatever work you do…your heart must be full of God’s Love…think of

yourself as a servant to the patient…this spirit of service gives you

successful results…remove egoistic feelings from your work…add Love to every

action of yours…

 

Embodiments of Love, I do not need to tell you more…Love is immanent in

everything…however we utilize it more for selfish purposes than for societal

good…there may be some amount of selfishness but one should try to fill one’s

life and actions with God’s Love…some people may feel that they are not getting

enough salaries but it is not salary which is going to give you happiness….it is

the service and Love that you show that gives you happiness…you talk of

achieving God’s Grace but (you) are eating grass…no no, you should eat GRACE

alone…that will lead you to greatness!!

 

Today I am very happy….I have been trying to see you all at one place for so

many days…today that has come true…you all work in different places, but today

being a Sunday, you all were able to assemble at one place…treat everyday as a

Sunday because the names of days may be different but Sun is present in every

day…be happy and spread happiness…

 

If doctors are happy, any number of patients can be seen and sent back

happily…so all doctors be happy and spread this happiness to all those you

see….What is true happiness…it is in Union with God…

 

(Swami praised Dr Prasad for his excellent contribution in translating His Divine Discourse)

 

Man needs to try his best….victory or defeat is in God’s Hands.

 

Everywhere in this world there is shortage of nurses….they join, learn all the

work and finally go away…it is not as if there is something less here…it is a

misconception to think that one can earn a lot of money when one goes to

foreign lands…along with the earnings there is the taxation and other

expenses…even though the amount drawn is less here, it still gives lot of

happiness…do not aspire for the wealth of money…..aspire for Vignyana Pragnyana

and Sugnyana to get the Gynana of Ananda..

 

Many people do go out for the sake of money, realize the hard facts within a few

months and regret their actions. But it is too late by then. Even we would be

happy if you really earn more…do not waste money in such circumstances…money

makes many things but does not give real bliss to the heart. One should be

happy and contented with whatever one gets….Rs.2000 here is equivalent, if not

more than, Rs.20000 that you can earn in other countries…it is mostly an

illusion that one can earn more outside….your expenditure is in proportion to

your earnings…if you are destined to earn more you will get it, come what

may….do not be swayed by the attraction of higher salaries (money).

 

Embodiments of Love, what more joy and happiness do you want than this?

Cultivate love and kinship with everyone, that will give you everlasting joy…we

are never lacking in compensating our people here...we are strictly adhering to

Government Scales, you may have many expenditures but definitely you will be

getting equivalent compensation …just have a little bit of forbearance. Many

doctors earn a lot in America, but when they come here and go back, their

savings are all spent on charges. So there is always a plus and a minus in

earnings…unfortunately everyone thinks of only plus and not the minus. Be happy

and contented with what you have and definitely success will be

yours!!
