You must be humble but yet strong ....

grass that is placed on the ground. The Agni, the god of wind tried his best to

sweep it off but could not. The Vaayu, the god of wind tried his best to sweep

it off but could not. Each god tried to prove his worth by all his skill on

that tiny blade and finally it was proved that without the overall grace of

God, all of them would have failed in the battle. Thus Humility was taught to

the exultant gods by the all-merciful Lord. You must be humble but yet strong

to resist temptation and do not yield like cowards to the sly insinuations of

the senses. There was a man who was pestered by a host of relatives when he

was dying. Parents, wife, children, brothers, sisters surrounded his bed during

his last moments and asked him "What is to happen to us?". The dying man lifted

his head a

little from the pillow and asked in return, "I am interested in "What is to

happen to me" than being worried about "what is to happen to you." It is better

everone ask the questions "What am I for?", "What ought I to do?" and equips

himself with the answer rather than wait until it is too late. The lord

sends the Avathars and Messengers when world tries to build itself up on the

sandy foundation of the sensory world and when people do not place faith in the

Self and pursue the senses. Do not be led into the wrong belief that the

accumulation of material possessions will endow you with joy and calm. Divine

Love (Prema) alone can give everlasting joy by removing

anger, envy and hatred. This moment is the right time to fix one's mind on God

and start on the course one has missed in the confusion of material pursuits so

far. Ravana craved for the possession of Prakrithi i.e., Sitha and discarded

the Spirit i.e., Purusha-Raama inspite of his vast knowledge gained from

spiritual texts (ten heads represents the learning that he had earned from the

six shaasthras and the four vedhas). Wavering and indecision will affect in

practicing Dharma when an individual is not stabilised in the knowledge of the

Self. You must determine to seek the real experience of God-realisation. You

must also cultivate an ardent thirst for the knowing the truth of the world and

of your own self. Your outlook must widen and your inward look must become

deeper and more steady. You must realise the Omnipresence of God and the

Oneness of Humanity. The spark of divine that dwells in the heart of everman is

your real self and all else is illusion. You are declaring that you are only the

shortlived, easily-destroyed bodies ignoring that your real nature is Sath,

Chith and Aanandha (i.e., the attributes of the Aathma). When the Name is

pronounced by the tongue and the image is adored by the mind, the meaning and

the content of the Form must inspire and illumine the Consciousness. Source:
