Guest guest Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Sairam, Happy Baba's day to you all. Most importantly, Happy Krishna ashtami. Tomorrow is Lord Krishná's Birthday. May Lord Krishna visit everybody's house and fill it with happiness, prosperity and joy. It is amazing how our Baba, Lord Krishna, responds to us according to our need. It was a pleasant surprise to see Baba communicating to us through Satcharita based on the occasion. This message speaks for itself what Baba intends to convey. I am sure you all had experience similar to mine, Baba knows when, where and how to convey the message. ..... Nana was sitting near Baba and massaging His Legs and muttering something. Baba - Nana, what are you mumbling yourself? Nana - Iam reciting a shloka (verse) from Sanskrit. Baba - What shloka? Nana - From Bhagawad-Gita Baba - Utter it loudly. Nana then recited B.G.IV-34 which is as follows :- 'Tadviddhi Pranipatena Pariprashnena Sevaya, Upadekshyanti Te Jnanam Jnaninastattwadarshinah' ............ Then Baba began to explain - (1) It is not enough merely to prostrate before the Jnanis. We must make Sarvaswa Sharangati (complete surrender) to the Sad-guru. (2) Mere questioning is not enough. The question must not be made with any improper motive or attitude or to trap the Guru and catch at mistakes in the answer, or out of idle curiosity. It must be serious and with a view to achieve moksha or spiritual progress. (3) Seva is not rendering service, retaining still the feeling that one is free to offer or refuse service. One must feel that he is not the master of the body, that the body is Guru's and exists merely to render service to him. If this is done, the Sad-guru will show you what the Janna referred to in the previous stanza is. ..................." Chapter 39 Satcharita. Glory be to the Lord and master of the universe our Baba, Lord Shri Krishna. What better message from Baba for the occassion of Krishna ashtami than this..
