Bliss and Contentment

[Guest guest]

It is not only the food that we should first prepare in the spirit

of offering to Baba before we take it, but also everything else we

do in life must be an offering, must be a sacrifice, to the Supreme

Spirit. In that case we will never reap any bad or any good result

out of that, because bad result or good result bind us to this

material world.

 

Whatever we do, just make offering to Baba and let it be, whatever

the outcome, because we are not the body anyhow. We are not the

action. We are not the doers of anything in this world.

 

Baba has advised us that, before the senses, mind and intellect

enjoy their objects, first He should be remembered, and if this be

done, it is in a way by making an offering to Him. The senses etc.

can never remain without their objects, but if those objects are

first offered to the Guru, the attachment for them will naturally

vanish. In this way, all the Vrittis (subtle thoughts) regarding

desire, anger, avarice etc. should first be offered and directed to

the Guru, and if this practice be followed, the Lord will help you

in eradicating all the Vrittis. When before enjoyment of the

objects, you think that Baba is present, the question, whether the

object is fit to be enjoyed or not, will at once arise. Then the

object, that is not fit to be enjoyed, will be shunned and in this

way our vicious habits or vices will disappear, and our character

will improve. Then love for the Guru will grow and pure knowledge

will sprout up. When this knowledge grows, the bondage of body-

consciousness (we are the body) will snap and our intellect will be

merged in spirit-consciousness (we are the spirit). Then we shall

get bliss and contentment.

 

To put the matter in a nut-shell, we should not enjoy any object

with our senses etc., without first remembering our Guru. When the

mind is trained in this way, we will be always reminded of Baba and

our meditation on Baba will grow apace. The Sagun Form of Baba will

ever be before our eyes and then, devotion, non-attachment and

salvation will all be ours. When Baba's Form is thus fixed before

our mental vision, we forget hunger, thirst and this Sansar (world),

the consciousness of worldly pleasures will disappear and our mind

shall attain peace and happiness.

 

Baba Said

 

" Yoga, sacrifice, penance and knowledge are the means to attain God. If you do

not succeed in this by any means, vain is your birth " .
