Bhakti and Meera

[Guest guest]

Sai Ram to all the forum members, brothers and sisters and respected elders.

I just have an inner message and a thought that sprung from my heart as I was reading a Sai devotee's acknowledgement of Meera's Bhakti.

Why did Lord like Meera, although she did not live up to then exisitg Raj Put Woman's duyt as a child, wife and a female??

God chose some devotees to show Ananya Bhakti.

These chosen devotees became the subject of slanders and hardships, ultimately being cast out of the society, as a result of their devotion and dedication.

Sakku Bai, Meera, Tukaram, Prahlaada, Annamayya, Kancherla Ramadass, Tyagayya and many more.

One factor is common.

They were deprived of their SUSTENANACE at physical level, by the materialistic world. They could not touch tehinner sustainer. (Aadhaaram)That did not phase out their devotion, but intensified it and became a Guru to acknowledge the LORD as the indweller.

They were locked up, but nobody could unlock the bond between the GOD and THE BHAKTA.

Was Meera A Satya Bahama in her previous life, who thought that she had the LORD all to herself??? Did she serve her Karma as a devotee, unable to attain Krishna till the last breath?? Is that why she was a Krishna Bhakta and not a Kali worshipper. But her Bhakti teaches a lesson, that you can deprive BHAKTA of place, idols and means of worship, but one can never remove the LORD from the Bhakta or vice versa. The notoriety will create it' s own Karma and it is the law of the nature.

Was she Yashoda who thought that CHINAA KRISHNA was her OWN SON and that he belonged to her exclusively?? She waited and waited and Krishna never came back to Madhura. Did she pay a price as Sooradasa whose rescue child Krishna comes; sees him as the Lord Syama Sundara even without eyes. WIht Physical eyes she could not acknowledge the Lord as Yashoda. That would be teh price that she would pay even for thinking Krishna as her own and tried to remove him from his Bhakta Gopikas.

In both cases, LORD did not make himself available till the death bed and let the soul merge within him!!!

Was Tukaraam, the reincarnation of Vaalmiki??? Was Ramadaasa a reincarnation of Vaalmiki?? Was Tyagayya a reincarnation of Valmiki.

God chooses his Bhaktas when and where to be born. Based upon the previous Karma, heh Vasanas take the form of the diety that they choose to worship. We have to be as dedicated as Meera, and othe mentioned devotees to bind Swami to us, as he is also BHAKTA SAKHA, through ananaya hakti.

All teh sevas, all the bhajans and all the physical work becomes a superflous drama for achieving the goal of him in us.
