Salvation is Natural and Easy
(Kalyaan Sahaj Hai)
(Kalyaan Sahaj Hai)
Shree Hari
If we want to attain spiritual welfare, then whatever we know is enough. More knowledge than that is not necessary. We do not need to have anything more than what we have received. If you want to create crisis, if you want to sink in sense enjoyment, if you want to get trapped in the cycle of birth and death, then you do need more goods and belongings. If you long for your salvation, then whatever you have received, that alone is adequate, you have already been given whatever is essential. Whatever knowledge you have is complete, it is not insufficient. Therefore, there is neither any need to know more, nor to acquire more. Salvation - "kalyaan" is undoubtedly possible with whatever we know or have.
This body, this world was not here before, nor will it remain afterwards. As such, our relationship with it was not there before, and it shall not be there in the future – everyone knows this. Then, trust not, the body and the world, do not seek shelter or support there. Likewise, we have to make the best use of things that we possess, and bestow salvation on all. There is no flaws in God's providence or constitution. God is the "Suhrd", the good friend, of all beings, living creatures "jeevas", without exception. He gave human organism for the welfare of the "jeevas"; so He did not leave any defect or deficiency for man's salvation; He did not leave any shortage of jnana (knowledge), or shortage of material goods, or even abilities in man. Had he kept any sort of paucity, it would have been quite unbecoming and improper to say, "human body is given for divine destiny or welfare".
Looked at from the viewpoint of actions - "karmas" - whatever is of utmost necessity is already made available to us and with those goods alone our welfare can be achieved. Who will expect more from us? The limit within which or up to which we can do or yield, if we do that, our welfare is guaranteed - there is no doubt about it. Looked at from the viewpoint of knowledge, our relation with anything is non-existent. This is our commonly studied or known observation. When no relationship exists between us and things, where remains the question whether the materials we possess are more or less in quantity! At present we have no relationship, we never had any kind of relationship, nor shall there be any kind of relationship with the things that are produced and which perish. If and when such awareness or experience dawns, then the welfare will bloom, realization will take place.
Thus seen from the viewpoint of the Yoga of Devotion - Bhaktiyoga - the Law of the Supremely Beloved well-wisher God (Param Suhrd) is perfect and without any flaw; from the viewpoint of the Yoga of Action - "Karmayog" -whatever is made available is enough and complete; and from the viewpoint of Yoga of Knowledge - Jnanayog - we have no relationship at all with any act or material. So there is no need to know anything new, to acquire or collect anything new. We have completely all the materials and the time in our possession for our salvation. As for the time, I say that there is so much of time in human birth that even with a small portion of it, salvation is a happy possibility! God Realization is a small task, whereas time at our disposal is far more. Though one need not have salvation twice, but if need there be, then one can repeat it five, seven or even ten times – so much time a man has at his disposal. Even goods are excessive. The total material available will not be put to its full use, man will have to die leaving behind much of his things. Nothing of transitory or ephemeral nature ever belonged to you, nor does is belong at present, nor will it ever be yours! This understanding is also with you.
