Divine Love (contd.....)

Religion will ever" remain the national passion in India, and the search for

the meaning of life lies beyond the region of man's material desires and

struggles. Modern man has been able to go round the moon in a few minutes.

Nature is revealing its mysteries. Startling discoveries have been made and

greater discoveries are in store for us. Civilization has advanced far.

Barriers separating countries and nations have been destroyed. Man has

conquered distance and the craze for further discoveries leads man to

rtstless life. He feels a vacuum. There is an urge1 to know tho soul, to

know God, to pierce the mystery that veils nature. This constitutes the

religious impulse in man. He faces the threefold questions :

(1) Who am I?

(2) Whence have I come

(3) What shall I do to return to my true homeland

"Each soul is potentially Divine. The goal is manifest, achieve this

divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this and be

free- This is the “whole- of religion." Thus spoke Vivekananda,

To know who you are, spend some time every day in silerice, in meditation.

Sit in a silent corner away from the din and roar of daily life and meditate

on the adventure of existence, Ramana's message to humanity is to know

ourselves. Reflect, recollect, concentrate, meditate.

The gates are opened. Haw to know God ? What is the easiest way to God? That

was a question put to Mahatma Gandhi. What was the answer ? He said : " To

me Seva, service of the poor, opens the easiest way to God." Let us

contemplate |he way of Gandhi, the Father of the Nation. He says in one his

books, " I would rather be torn to pieces than disown my brothers and

sisters in suffering and pain." He identified himself with the poor and

needy. Religion to Gandhi was not creed, but right life, a life of sympathy

and love, of fellowship with the poor. Therefore, to know God, love is a

pre-requisite. God is love itself. " The ignorant feel that God and love

are separate- God and Love are One, and when once this is known they will

realise that God is love." So said the great Tamil sage, ThiruvalluVar,

(Adopted from the Book Pearls of Wisdom by His Holiness Swami Kesavaiahji)
