Daily Medicine: Sri Swamiji's discourse (Prescription drug)!

October 19, 2006

What is this life? I don't understand. Some times we feel very happy to be born. Many times we are mystified and we feel very sorrowful. Mood changes in a jiff. From happy to sorrow to doubt. What is this? I don't understand. Very difficult to explain this human drama. Attachment and sudden detachment. Sudden Vairaagya. Sudden relationship. Sudden marriage. Sudden divorce. What is this? Few minutes relation. No continuity. Few months. Few months. What happened to that original good feeling? Because you don't have Sadhana. Keep on practice. Practice of contentment with what you have. Some suddenly have urge to learn meditation. After two years, the interest wanes and suddenly Swamiji looks like a dispensable part in life. Your relation is solely result oriented. Spiritual practices are not for immediate cognizable results. Don't look for results. Keep on practicing. If you are unhappy, keep on the relation. Ensure your actions are the same and have not changed. Control

feelings. Prayers are not life. It is a duty. Life is different. Jobs, marriage, eating, sleeping. This is life. But prayers are not life. Prayer is a important duty. We inhale and exhale. It came to us with our birth. It disappears when we are finished. Like that prayers also are a integral part of our life. Our customs and devotion are like inhalation and exhalation. Our bad moods should not affect them. Learn to live with bad feelings when necessary. Give your bad moods to God. He is very kind. He will gladly accept it. He has a big basket. Swamiji also carries a big bag. I collect your sins, bad moods etc. God is a good friend. Not like your husband or boy friends. If any thing happens they become very upset. Misunderstanding comes. Because they also are misunderstanding. A marriage of forty years gets disturbed because of 40 minutes of misunderstanding. Because after all, you all are humans. 60 years marriage, 14 children. Just because the wife becomes old, the

husband wants a new wife. What is this? Meaningless. There must be good understanding. Marriage is a gift from God. Husband and wives are partners for life. Most of Indian married couples are always staying together. 99.9 percent. If you come and see they are very happy. They quarrelling everyday, still they are happy. They will have 25 children. They will have grand children. They quarrel and produce children. They quarrel and keep happiness in home. They don't divorce. But now American influence has come to India and the divorce has slowly started. I am very unhappy. Europeans and Americans are uninterested in married lives. I don't know why? Divorce is like a fashion. If you have not divorced once, you are not a human being. I don't know why. Some one should study these phenomena. This disease. I am wondering why so many Indian Americans here divorce. I agree when there are serious problems like abuse etc. But divorcing after a long married life is very wrong. Divorcing

after three years of developed marriage is very wrong. The marriage is a sacred relation. It is His miracle that the marriage happens. You must learn to adjust. That is why now a days this divorce disease has come to Guru- Shishya relationship. This sacred relation too is getting contaminated. I don't like it. I have very strong medicine for it. If you have problems, don't hurry in your decision. Close your eyes and think. One day you will definitely get answer. IF you ask opinions from people, they will confuse you even more. Better don't ask. Ask yourself. I am now speaking of spiritual doubts.

It cannot be explained in a minute or two. If my words have hurt you today, don't mistake. OK? I want to give good help. That is my main aim. Don't worry about Swamiji's strong talking. I will adjust. I don't want to hurt anybody. But remember you become more pure when you get hurt. You are getting hurt because of the past mistakes. We have a good friendship. It is like a medicine.
