Darshan Update - 27th April 06, Thursday - Afternoon Brindavan Ashram, Whitefield, Bangalore.

[Guest guest]

Sairam,

 

Today afternoon i had been to whitefield for darshan.

 

Bhajan started at approx. 4.10 PM, and, swamy came

around 4.20 PM and enjoyed the bhajans.

 

Later he called upon Shri. Sanjay Mahalingam, who did

his MBA from SSIHL, and now pursuing Phd. to deliver a

lecture.

 

The Main Essence of the Lecture had been on three

aspects::

 

a) True Love

 

b) Realising the purpose of life understanding the

questions who am I? why i am here? where i am going/

heading? and what is my purpose in life?

 

c) Wht is EGO? and how to avoid it?

 

The Lecture had been for about 30 mins and then aarti

was given and swamy left at 5.25 PM. He had been

around 1 hr 10 minutes.

 

I will try to recollect as much as i can from the

speech given by sanjay and post it here for the other

devotees.

 

a) TRUE LOVE.

 

True Love can be only obtained from one and only one

person. tht is GOD himself.

The DIVINE PARENT alone is eligible for this.

 

b) Introspection.

 

A small story was narrated on this:

 

" Once there lived a guru and 10 disciples. He asked

all of his disciples to go the nearby river and have

bath and come back. He ordered the senior most

disciple to be careful to count the number of people

before and after and to ensure that all 10 of them

reach back to him.

 

The disciples left the place and then the senior

disciple started counting the number, he counted 1 ..

2.. 3..  ... 9 and forgot to count himself. he started

worrying how to show face to his guru. then remaining

disciples also started counting and ended on the same

note. they were all confused and embarassed at their

situation.

 

Then a saint passed by that place, understood their

problem and then he asked all of the disciples to

stand in a line and say aloud 1.. etc. then all of

them started counting 1..2..3..9..10.. they were happy

and felt comfortable.

 

The moral of the story is : When you forget about ur

true self, u face miseries and start worrying on the

things tht u see, just like the senior person he

neglected himself.

 

Where did the 10th person came from? it didn't come

from outside it is there among the disciples

themselves. until and until they realized that they

are 10, they were not happy. same is the case with

people in the world today. they start neglecting on

the essence of their true self and forget their

reality and waste time in doing things whoch are not

essential and try to find happiness in worldy things

leading themselves to miseries and sorrowful

happiness,

 

so my dear friends contemplate, introspect and

understand the true meaning of ur life and understand

who u are. u are nothing but the parabrahma swaroopa.

u r the eternal atma. u r the god. only when u see

thru the eyes of God, u can understand the meaning of

life and find the same eternal being in each and every

particle of the world.

 

c) What is EGO?

 

He narrated another story here:

 

Once a person went to an uninvited marriage ceremony.

the bridegroom side thought he is from bride's side

and started showering him nice respect and good

service. the bride's side thought that he is special

invitee from bridegroom's side and started respecting

and treating him specially too. he enjoyed this nice

service from both the bridegroom's as well as bride's

side.

 

Later once both the sides got a doubt and decided to

approach this person. then tht person realising the

situation left the place.

 

The person here refers to the EGO.. the people doesn't

know the presence of it until they understand its

identity. it exists evrywhere and enjoys its place.

 

so my dear friends dont allow ego to enjoy in ur

hearts and lead you to some unnecessary illusion.

 

Cast away the EGO and enjoy the TRUE LOVE showered by

our beloved lord by understanding your true identity

and devoting your lives to the real purpose of life.

This is the only gift we can give to our beloved sai

and this is what each and every person has to aim for

in his life.

 

Om sri sai ram.
