Divine Answers - From the Experiences of Shri.Anil Kumar in Kodaikanal

[Guest guest]

GOD HAS COME TO REMIND OF YOUR REALITY Swami said: "You do not know that until I said that He is everywhere. You do not know that God is everywhere until I said it." Oh, I see. Finished. Fuse is gone. And now He explains further, "You see, here is gold and here are diamonds or pearls. The pearls and gold themselves do not make jewels. There should be a goldsmith who will make a chain, who will make a necklace. So, God is the goldsmith. God is the maker of the jewels, though gold and diamonds are available. So similarly, you are God. But God tells you that you are God. So there is somebody to remind you of your reality. There's somebody to tell you of your own true self. Because we mistake ourselves with our body, we mistake ourselves with our mind, we are carried away by the sense of

ego, somebody should tell us who we are." "And a further example," Bhagavan said, "here is a thread, here are the flowers. Will it make a garland? There should be a maker. Here is a container, here is oil. There's a wick. Do you get the light? Somebody should light it. There should be a maker of the garland. There should be the goldsmith over here.” Similarly, Avatar is necessary. God should necessarily take a human form to tell everyone of us that we are basically, essentially Divine, that we are Divine, that we are not the dust. We are not made up of, or comprised of the five elements of Nature alone. REMEMBER THE PURPOSE OF LIFE -- TO KNOW AND EXPERIENCE DIVINITY Further Bhagavan said, "The purpose of life is something more." What is that? He said, "Remember, remember always the purpose of life is to know and experience the Divinity." How to know? How to experience Divinity? I don't know. When I don't know, how can I experience it? The very fact that we have not experienced the Divinity is very well known to everybody. How do I know? We are disturbed. We are confused. We are educated. We are full of doubts. We have got bumps and jumps in life, ups and downs in life. We feel elated when we are praised. We feel frustrated when we are commented upon or criticised. We have got so many types of bumps and jumps in life, as Bhagavan puts it. Our life is full of

successes and failures, full of gains and losses, full of grief and happiness. Our life is dual. This is not our reality. This is not our reality! The purpose of life lies in knowing the reality, in knowing the truth. What is it? HUMAN BODY IS LIKE A GLASS OF WATER, SUGAR IS THE DIVINITY INSIDE Bhagavan gives a simple example: "Here is a glass of water. You have at the bottom sugar; at the bottom is sugar. Now you taste the water at the top. Agh! Tasteless! You taste the water in the middle. Tasteless. Why? Because the sugar is there at the bottom only. Now with the help of a spoon, come on and stir it up! Mix it well. Taste the water on the top. Sweet. In the middle? Sweet. At the bottom? Sweeter. What is the

difference between then and now? The difference is that earlier there was sugar which had not been mixed properly with the help of the spoon. Sugar was there, is there, and will be there. The only thing you have got to do is to stir it, to mix it up properly. Human life is like a glass of water. Human life, human body is like a glass of water. The sugar is the Divinity inside." MIX THIS SUGAR OF DIVINITY WITH THE INTELLECT and THE WHOLE LIFE TURNS SWEET AND NECTARINE Oh, but we find life tasteless. We find life disinteresting. We find life depressing. We find life frustrating. We find life meaningless. Why? The sugar is there at the bottom which means that the Divinity is there at the bottom of our

life. What should I do now? Swami’s answer is, “Take the spoon of the intellect or buddhi. Stir it now. Mix it now. When you mix this sugar of divinity with the help of the intellect properly in the top of life, the whole life turns sweet or nectarine.” So, my friends, it is left to us now to mix this properly, to enjoy it in the real sense. The purpose of life is to mix this Divinity into our day-to-day life situations so that the whole life becomes interesting. The whole life becomes extremely useful. This is what Bhagavan has said. This is the purpose of life as explained by Bhagavan at that moment.
