Message for the week!

[Guest guest]

Sairam,

 

Happy BABA's day to you all. BABA bless us and fulfill our wishes and guide us in the right path.

 

"As Men Believe so they receive". BABA gave experiences to people based on their beliefs and spiritual growth. Hence BABA gave advises that would fit the situation, purpose and individuals need. There is no single thumb of rule for people to follow. BABA respected individual differences. Being the Sat-chit-ananda swaroop and God Himself, HE showed people how to respect one another and also show tolerance towards one another. People experienced BABA's grace on them based on their level of spirituality. In order for us to receive spiritual knowledge one must rise above the mundane world and focus on BABA. Here is what Baba says about what He can give to people...

 

".............

After the dissertation was over, Baba turned to the gentleman and said - "Well

sir, there is in your pocket the Brahma (or Mammon) in the form of fifty-times

five(Rs.250/-) rupees; please take that out." The gentleman took out from his

pocket the bundle of currency notes, and to his great surprise found, on

counting them, that there were 25 notes of 10 rupees each, Seeing this

ominiscience of Baba, he was moved and fell at Baba's Feet and craved for His

blessings. Then Baba said to him, "Roll up your bundle of Brahma viz. Currency

notes. Unless you get rid completely of your avarice or greed, your will not get

the real Brahma. How can be, whose mind is engrossed in wealth, progeny and

prosperity, expect to know the Brahma, without removing away his attachment for

the same? The illusion of attachment or the love for money is a deep eddy

(whirlpool) of pain full of crocodiles in the form of conceit and jealousy. He,

who is desireless, can alone cross this whirlpool. Greed and Brahma are as poles

asunder, they are eternally opposed to each other. Where there is greed, there

is no room for thought or meditation of the Brahma. Then how can a greedy man

get dispassion and salvation? For a greedy man there is no peace, neither

contentment, nor certainty (steadiness). If there be even a little trace of

greed in mind, all the Sadhanas (spiritual endeavors) are of no avail. Even the

knowledge of a well-read man, who is not free from the desire of the fruit or

reward of his actions, and who has got no disgust for the same, is useless and

can't help him in getting self-realization. The teachings of a Guru are of no

use to a man, who is full of egoism, and who always thinks about the

sense-objects. Purification of mind is absolutely necessary; without it, all our

spiritual endeavors are nothing, but useless show and pomp. It is, therefore,

better for one to take only what he can digest and assimilate. My treasury is

full, and I can give anyone, what he wants, but I have to see whether he is

qualified to receive what I give. If you listen to Me carefully, you will be

certainly benefited. Sitting in this Masjid, I never speak any untruth."

When a guest is invited to a house, all the members of the household and other

friends and relations that happen to be present, are entertained, along with the

guest. So all those that were present in the Masjid at this time, could partake

of the spiritual feast, that was served by Baba for the rich gentleman. After

getting Baba's blessings, one and all, including the gentleman left the place

quite happy and contented. " Chapter 16/17 Satcharita

 

 

BABA bless us and guide us always.
