Bliss and Contentment

 

It is not only the food that we should first prepare in the spirit of

offering to Baba before we take it, but also everything else we do in

life must be an offering, must be a sacrifice, to the Supreme Spirit.

In that case we will never reap any bad or any good result out of

that, because bad result or good result bind us to this material

world.

 

Whatever we do, just make offering to Baba and let it be, whatever

the outcome, because we are not the body anyhow. We are not the

action. We are not the doers of anything in this world.

 

Baba has advised us that, before the senses, mind and intellect enjoy

their objects, first He should be remembered, and if this be done, it

is in a way by making an offering to Him. The senses etc. can never

remain without their objects, but if those objects are first offered

to the Guru, the attachment for them will naturally vanish. In this

way, all the Vrittis (subtle thoughts) regarding desire, anger,

avarice etc. should first be offered and directed to the Guru, and if

this practice be followed, the Lord will help you in eradicating all

the Vrittis. When before enjoyment of the objects, you think that

Baba is present, the question, whether the object is fit to be

enjoyed or not, will at once arise. Then the object, that is not fit

to be enjoyed, will be shunned and in this way our vicious habits or

vices will disappear, and our character will improve. Then love for

the Guru will grow and pure knowledge will sprout up. When this

knowledge grows, the bondage of body-consciousness (we are the body)

will snap and our intellect will be merged in spirit-consciousness

(we are the spirit). Then we shall get bliss and contentment.

 

To put the matter in a nut-shell, we should not enjoy any object with

our senses etc., without first remembering our Guru. When the mind is

trained in this way, we will be always reminded of Baba and our

meditation on Baba will grow apace. The Sagun Form of Baba will ever

be before our eyes and then, devotion, non-attachment and salvation

will all be ours. When Baba's Form is thus fixed before our mental

vision, we forget hunger, thirst and this Sansar (world), the

consciousness of worldly pleasures will disappear and our mind shall

attain peace and happiness.

Baba Said....

 

"Yoga, sacrifice, penance and knowledge are the means to attain God.

If you do not succeed in this by any means, vain is your birth".
