Be receptive to Swami's teachings.

[Guest guest]

Why some people are instantly attracted to Swami's form and teachings while for others it takes much time? This is a pertinant question for which we must seek genuine answer. We have firewood meant for cooking and boiling purposes in the house hold in rural scenario. Of course nowadays almost all people use stoves and gas burners. If the firewood thus collected is dry, it catches fire instantaneously. If it is wet, lot of smoke will emanate and it takes much time for cooking. Likewise, the vasanas accumulated during previous births drowse the individual consciousness. Hence even when an Avatar gives his nectaraine teachings and grants His Divine Dharsans, not all will get benefit or impressed. It purely depends upon our detachment. If we are selfish and ego filled, we wont get much benefit. Hence Jesus also said, that the seeds that fell on hard rocky stretches wont sprout. If they fall on rich soil, it will sprout in due course. Our spiritual growth too depends upon the nature of the soil, i.e., our consciousness. Hence develop detachment towards the world and be attached to Divine name and form. Sairam.
