Real Happiness

continued.....

When the aim is determinate and fixed,  it is then only these spiritual talks will be understood.   Therefore,  complete gain will be when we will become engaged and turn towards our supreme good.   For this,  first and the foremost one must have faith that there is such a gain, which every man can attain.   The attainment of that can be possible in this life-time itself,  this is the absolute truth.   Because as many Rishis-Munis,  great souls,  ascetics,  renunciates,  liberated souls, and devotees of God that have come about,  they have all attained this immense gain.  When all of mankind can realize that Divinity,  then why can’t we too not realize it ?  If you fix your aim to realize That Divinity,  then I will share with you other points.   Then you will surely understand those points,  and will move forward.  In this there is no doubt.   

You must not think that I am a householder,  I am bound in family life,  how will I realize that ‘tattva’  (Divinity) etc.   It is my belief,  that you are not so incapable,  you are not so undeserving,  you are not unentitled,  that you cannot realize that ‘tattva’ (Divinity).    All beings can realize that ‘tattva’.  I have come across such transcendental measures from saints,  by which all of mankind can attain their supreme good, they can be emancipated.   In this there is no doubt.  Only you have to turn towards it, become inclined towards it, have your sight on it, that there is such ‘tattva’  (Divinity).   

You are stalled by little pleasure, by little gains ‒ that is the mistake.  Because with partial gains,  you cannot be completed satiated,  and you  continue to experience pain,  and the thought of entirely rising above the mundane does not stay firm.   Getting trapped in a little greed,  one becomes strayed from their path,  this is the mistake.   Correct this mistake.  If the hunger for the immense gain is awakened,  then it is so intense, that without its fulfillment,  one is restless,  thereafter, its realization is possible.  But as long as the aim, the goal  is not decided,  till then even on telling, one will not grasp it very well.  It will also not appeal to you,  without any form of doubting, because,  really speaking you are not inclined toward it,  then how will it appeal to you ?  

Undoubtedly, all of you know these talks,  that man is not satisfied with whatever situation-circumstance that he has received,  and he also does not feel fulfillment in it.   He does not feel sufficiency with, the amount of money - wealth that he has received,  rather there remains a desire that may he receive more and more.   Man is not entirely satisfied, with the amount of honor, respect, reverence,  greatness he has received,  the extent of good health (free of disease) that he has received,   there remains an ongoing desire that ‘may he get more and more’.    In this manner,  all continue to experience a shortage of something or the other.  When there is some shortage (something lacking), then there is such a thing out there to fulfill that shortage.   Everyone can attain, and many have attained such a state, where there is no shortage whatsoever.    Then why will we not attain such a state ?   We too can realize that ‘tattva’.    This is the truth.   Only let the us have a determinate thought that how should we attain that ‘tattva’ ?  Let us simply have an intense, single-pointed  intent that how can I attain that ‘tattva’ ?
