Guest guest Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Love and Demands " Yo NaHrishyathi NaDveshti NaSochathi NaKaankshathiSubhaaSubha parithyaagi Bhakthimaan Yasyame Priya " - BhagavadGeetha " The one who does not rejoice, neither does hate.. The one that is neither saddens nor aspires; the one that renounces the good and the bad... is the one that is dear to me " Geetha says that Lord loves those who neither rejoice at the good bestowed on them nor develop hatred towards ill mongers; those who are neither saddened by losses nor ecstatic from gains; those who are ready to give up both good and bad. How does one accomplish this? Why does one should accomplish this? Is this a demand from God? Lord Sainath demands both faith and patience from His children and a perspective of those attributes were presented in the earlier features. If God is considered as the repository of perennial wisdom meant for the betterment of mankind, the analogy of God's commands and its stringent demands takes up a different meaning. Sai is the " kamadhenu " the ever yielding cow, and the " kalpavriskha " the celestial tree that bestows all riches upon the faithful. This Saint God's demands are not a set of stringent commands but the loving guidance for a truthful seeker. Sometimes they are the bitter pills lovingly given by the mother necessary for the infant's perpetual health. How does one explain this love of God ? God's love is selfless and unconditional. This is realized only by the devotees' selfless and unconditional love towards God. Hence, the best mundane example useful to compare God's love is the love between mother and infant which is selfless, unconditional and undemanding. -- OM GURU NATHASAI GURU NATHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
