"UNCONCERN LEADS TO THE DEEPEST YEARNING FOR GOD"

 

(Short Story, as told by Bhagavan SRI SATHYA SAI BABA)

Sri Ramakrishna said that if you want to avoid that sticky fluid in the

jackfruit from contacting your fingers when you peel it, you have to apply a

few drops of oil on them.

 

So, too, said he, “if you do not want the world and its reactions to stick to

you, have a few drops of “unconcern applied on your mind”.

 

The unconcern leads to the deepest yearning for God.

 

Chaitanya went to Brindavan, where every particles of dust was sacred for him,

since Krishna trod that soil centuries ago. He did not see or hears or touches

or smells or tastes anything except Krishna at Brindavan. He was rendered so

oblivious to the world around him that he ignored demands of hunger, thirst and

social etiquette.

 

He yearned for the consecrated food that was offered to Krishna in the temple.

But, one night, the Lord appeared before him and admonished him for

entertaining that once desires, too!

 

At last, when he gave up that desire also, and was overwhelmed with the thirst

for HIM... HIM alone, Krishna manifested before him.

 

The Divine Chaitanya (consciousness) illumined the Chaitanya in human form.

 

Learn therefore the discipline that can make the mind settle on God only and never waver therefore.

(Story #54, from the Book: "CHINNA KATHA")
