Love Triumphs

Love Triumphs

 

Padmapadacharya is one of the excellent disciples of Shri Adi

Sankaracharya. One day Padmapada decided to do penance for the

darshan of Lord Nrisimha. He went to forest for doing the tapas. In

the forest he met a kirataka (hunter) and he revered padmapada as his

master. Every day he used to come and greet his master with sincere

love and affection. Gradually, the life of the hunter became a total

surrender to the feet of the master. In his mind Guru and God became

one and the same.

 

One day he noticed that the master is doing tapas. He enquired the

master and came to know that the master is doing tapas for the lion

faced God (lord Nrisimha). So, he decided to fetch that God for his

master. He did not understand how difficult it is to see the God. All

he knows is by having the darshan of God his Guru's desire will be

fulfilled. So, with all sincerity he began his search. As the time

progresses, searching for the God became the only purpose of his

life. He relentlessly and tirelessly continued his search. The flame

of divine love completely cleaned him of all the impurities.

 

At last, Lord Narayana showed his grace on him and appeared as Lion

faced God. He immediately took him to Padmapada. Padmapada with

uncontrollable joy fell on the feet of Lord Nrisimha. Lord Nrisimha

explained to Padmapada that the innocent, pure, unselfish and single

minded devotional love of the hunter without a trace of ego won him

over. As mentioned in Sai Satcharita, " Once you surrender at Guru's

feet with single minded devotion, not only the Guru, but God himself

will be moved. Such is the marvel of Guru worship, which the guru-

devotees should experience themselves. "

 

The main purpose of worship of God is to enable everyone to feel the

joy and bliss of divine love and to become one in that love. As this

goal appears too steep for many in the world, lot of steps have been

prescribed to reach the Goal. Sri Sai advised Sraddha and Saburi as

the fundamental keys to open the treasure chest of divine love or

knowledge. Sraddha gives the self-confidence and Saburi allows

staying at peace with day-to-day events. Some times during the times

of crisis in life it becomes very difficult to hold on to these two

keys. (Sraddha & Saburi). At those times, it is always good for us to

remember the assurance of Sri Sai. " The Sky is overcast. But, it is

sure going to rain and bring forth the harvest. "
