Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect and ego - they constitute Aparaa Prakriti (lower Nature) and we (the self), having become the Jeev (embodied soul), are Para Prakriti (higher Nature). We have our relationship with God rather than with the body. The body is Apara Prakriti. "I" (ego) and "mine" - both are related with the world. As soon as we become free from the "sense of mine" and "egoism", immediately Supreme Peace follows - "Nirmamoh nirahankaarah sa shaantimadhigacchyati" (Gita 2/71). Nothing is ours. Neither the sense of mine, nor egoism is ours. Neither desire nor "sprhaa" (thirst for necessities of life) is ours. It has been mentioned in the Gita, the Brahmi state i.e. the state of a God Realized soul. "esha brahmee sthithi" (Gita 2/72). Therefore if we accept that we belong to God and we have no relationship with the so called our body, senses, mind and intellect, we can attain salvation just now. It has nothing to do with sins and virtues. Therefore we should have no notion in the least that we are sinners. We are totally free from sins. We are obviously part of God. Sins are fleeting and are committed, they are not natural. But we (the self) are naturally sentient, pure and a heap of bliss - we have to know this fact. Sins appear and disappear, while we (the self) don't appear and disappear, but ever remain uniform.

We are ever with God and God is ever with us. Whether we are sinful or we are virtuous, we are with God. If we are good, we are God's, if we are bad, we are God's. In fact, there is neither sin nor virtue, neither good, nor evil, in us . We may not realize this fact now, but we are certainly God's A man may be a deadly sinner, may be a butcher who slaughters animals, yet he is most definitely a part of God. All of us are part of God; sins and virtues don't even touch us; they have no access to us (the self). If we understand this fact properly, we will be emancipated.

The body belongs to the world, it undergoes birth and death, but we (the self) remain the same - "bhootagraamah sa evaayam bhootvaa bhootvaa praleeyate" (Gita 8/19) (This multitude of beings, born again and again, under compulsion from Prakriti, merges). The body has its identity with the world, while we have no identity with the world at all. All sins are related with the body, not with the self. We are separate from all sins and virtues, good and evil actions. Accept this fact. We are only God's - this is absolutely true. Only acceptance of this fact will lead to salvation, because it is acceptance that leads to bondage and acceptance that leads to salvation.

We are God's even if we forget this fact, the fact remains the same. The reason is that forgetfulness or unforgetfulness is there in our intellect rather than in the self. The self has no affinity either with the forgetfulness or with remembrance (memory). We (the self) ever remain the same - "sentient, pure and naturally the heap of bliss"; the self has nothing to do with oblivion or memory. We are sentient while "sattva-raja-tama" - these three modes are insentient (inert). When we get attached to these modes, then they bind us. If we don't get attached to them, they can't bind us. We, inspite of being sentient and detached, get attached to the inert and thus get entangled. If we don't get attached to these modes, they will abide only in Prakriti - "prakritisthaani", they will have no access to us. There is no doubt about this in the least. If we are not attached to the modes, they can't harm us at all. They have no powers to harm us. Howsoever our actions of millions of births may be, but as soon as we regard only God as ours, they (our sins) are all wiped out -

"Sanmukh hoyi jeev mohi jabhin |
Janma koti agh naasahin tabahin ||" (Manas, Sunderkand 44/1)

We are God's

We are God's
( Hum Bhagwaan ke Hai )

Shree Hari

In the Srimad Bhagavadgita Lord Krishna declares -

Mamaivaansho jeevaloke jeevabhootah sanaatanah |
Manahshasthaaneeindriyaani prakrutisthaanti karashati || (Gita 15/7)

In this world, the self, having become an embodied soul, is an eternal fragment (part) of only Mine. But It draws to Itself the five senses with the mind for the sixth which are abiding in Nature i.e. It assumes them as Its.

As a son belongs to his father, so do we more singularly belong to God. But we, instead of accepting God as ours, assume the body, senses, mind and intellect, which abide in Prakriti (Nature) as ours - this is bondage. Besides this, there is no other bondage. The body consists of parts of both – father and mother, but the self does not consist of parts of both Nature and God. We (the Self) are a part of only God – "mama eva anshh" being a part (fragment) of God, we abide in God' but we have assumed the body, which abides in Prakriti, as ours - this is our error. The fragment of Prakriti has abode in Prakriti, but we (the self) have developed disinclination for God. The inert Prakriti remained a wlrthy (dutiful) son but we (the self) became unworthy (undutiful) sons.

In infinite universes, out of infinite things, nothing is ours, and nothing will provide us with bliss. Even the kingdom of infinite universes will not provide us with bliss. How can a thing, which does not belong to us, provide us with bliss? It can't. God, Whose fragment we are and Who is really ours, can endow us with bliss. We are fragments of God and are sentient, pure and naturally a heap of bliss -

Ishvar ansh jeev abinaasi |
Chetan amal sahaj such raasi || (Manasa, Uttar 117/1)

Attachment to the modes of Prakriti (Nature) is the cause of birth of the spirit (The Self) in good and evil wombs - "kaaranam gunasangosya sadasadhyonijanmasu" (Gita 13/21).

Those, who are attached to Sattvaguna (the mode of goodness), go upwards to regions higher than the earth i.e. heaven etc. Those attached to Rajoguna (the mode of passion), remain in the middle region (earth) and those, attached to Tamoguna (mode of ignorance), sink low (lower births and lower regions).

Uurdhvam gachyanti satvasthaa madhye tishthaanti raajasaah |
Jaghanyagunavrutisthaa adho gacchyanti taamasaah || (Gita 14/18)

It means that attachment to the modes i.e. attachment to the body, senses, mind and intellect conduces a man to birth and death. Therefore a striver just today and jow now should accept the fact, "We have our affinity only with God. We are most definitely are part of God and we abide only in Him. Then there is no doubt in attaining salvation because we have accepted the reality. Our possessions such as object, ability and power etc., belong to the world and are for the world only, while we are God's and are only for Him."

An Easy and Quick Means to Realize God

An Easy and Quick Means to Realize God

( Bhagwat Praapti ka Sugam Tathaa Sheedhra Siddhidaayak Saadhan )

Shree Hari
continued .....
The reason for delay in the attainment of God, Who equally pervades everywhere, is that we don't want Him. A sin is not an obstacle to His attainment. If a sin is an obstacle, it means that a sin is stronger than God. But it is not possible at all. A man's mean mentality or mean act is called a sin. A sin is not permanent. By association of exalted souls (saints), by chanting the Lord's holy names and by bathing in the holy Ganges, sins can't stay. Even the deadliest sin has no power to stay. The reason is that actually sins have no existence. It is only God Who exists. God equally abides in sins and virtues, in good and bad, in the pure and the impure. Some one said to me, "Your God abides in hell." I said, "Our God equally abides everywhere. He is in heaven and also in hells." There can be no place devoid of God at all. He pervades verywhere. He is in heaven and also in hell. Your ancestors must have gone to hell, therefore they must have informed you about His residence in hell? There can be no place devoid of God. He pervades everywhere. If an aspirant has only desire to attain God, He will be certainly attained. It may take only a day or two. If an aspirant does not desire wealth, prosperity, praise, respect, honor, glory or anything else, he will certainly attain God. There is no doubt about it. How to attain God? If this question ever remains ignited within, how can God remain hidden?

If am aspirant feels hungry, he should take food; if he feels thirsty, he should drink water; if he feels drowsy, he should sleep. He should not be obstinate. He has not to relish food and derive pleasure from it. Similarly, he should not derive pleasure from water and sleep. As a patient takes medicine, similarly when he feels hungry, he should eat food without relishing it. Does a patient relish medicine or derive pleasure from it? An aspirant should have the exclusive desire for God Realization. What can be an easier means than this? This desire is accompanied by other desires - this is the obstacle. Every man whether he is a sinner or a fool, he is eligible (qualified) for God Realization. No one is unqualified for God Realization. He should have the exclusive yearning for attaining Him. Any other desire besides it, is the stumbling block to His realization. If he is not troubled by hunger, thirst and sleep, there is no need to eat food, to drink water and to go to bed. Can a man stay alive forever by eating food, by drinking water and by getting sleep? Even while eating food, drinking water and getting sleep a man dies. Food, water and sleep have no power to keep a man alive. If a man can die of hunger, he can also die of eating food and drinking water. One day every person has to die, then what new loss does he sustain, if he dies without eating food and drinking water? Whatever has to happen, will happen. But I don't ask you to die of hunger or thirst. The reason is that when he is hungry and thirsty, he cannot remain in balance. Therefore if he feels hungry and thirsty, he should eat food and drink water; if he feels drowsy, he should get sleep but he should not forget his essential need (avashyaktaa). He should ever keep it ignited. God Realization depends on us whether we realize Him in a moment or in days, months and years together. It is our desire which makes a difference, otherwise God Realization is instantaneous. The Lord has declared -

Sanmukh hoyi jeev mohi jabahin |
Janma Koti Agh naasahin tabahin || (Manasa, Sundar 44/1)

As soon as we have an inclination to God, the sins of millions of births (lives), are annihilated at that very moment. Sins, misconduct and defects have no power to hinder God Realization. If anything can hinder God from meeting us, what bliss will that God be able to shower upon us? Of what use is that Lord ? There is the need of having an exclusive desire for Him. An aspirant should take precaution that he should never forget to have an exclusive longing for Him, then God Realization will neither be difficult nor be delayed.

An Easy and Quick Means to Realize God

( Bhagwat Praapti ka Sugam Tathaa Sheedhra Siddhidaayak Saadhan )

Shree Hari
continued .....

Our essential need (aavashyaktaa) is of God. We must never forget this essential need (necessity). We must keep that flame burning within at all times. If we feel sleepy, then let sleep come, but from our side, this essential need must not fall into oblivion. If we keep up the intensity for the deep longing and need for God Realization burning and aroused continuously for twenty-four hours, our aim of God Realization will be attained within this period. In between, if any other desire emanates, then it will take much longer. If other desires arise, we should negate (disapprove) them, by shaking our head from side to side. If there is no other desire, God-Realization will not take even a day.

God Realization is not difficult, because - where does God not exist? When does He not exist? In whom does He not exist? There is neither a thing, nor time, nor space, nor place, nor person, nor state, nor circumstance in which God is not present. The only thing that God needs is having only desire to realize Him. We must have only that one desire, that intense longing, how to realize Him. We need not see how He is. We must never forget that it is an essential need (aavashyaktaa, necessity) for us to attain Him. Revelation of the only desire may take time, but God Realization will take no time. The people may call us mad, may utter any words against us, we need not care. If we have the only desire to realize Him, all other desires will be wiped out. When all other desires are wiped out, then the craving for God Realization will be fulfilled.

In the Gita, the Lord has declared -

Ananyachetaah satatam yo maam smarati nityashah |
Tasyaaham sulabh paarth nityayuktasya yoginah || (Gita 8/14)

"O' Parth (son of Kunti)! The Yogi who perpetually thinks of Me and undividedly remains absorbed in Me, to him I am easily attainable."

"Ananyacetaah" means that the aspirant should have no desire besides God. He should have a desire neither for life, nor for death, neither for pleasure, nor for pain. The term "Satatam" means that he should think of God constantly, from the time he is awake, to the time he is asleep. And "Nityasah" means that he should think of Him from today, to the day he dies. When an aspirant possesses these three characteristics, God is easily attainable to him. It means that he should constantly have the only necessity (aavashyaktaa), the only hunger, the only awakening, how to realize God. As soon as an aspirant has the only inclination (attraction) to Him, He is attained. If there is any other inclination, it will be a stumbling block to God Realization. There should not be any difficulty in having only one inclination. The reason is that besides God, there is nothing permanent and imperishable, then how will an aspirant be attached to them? Why should he be inclined to them? Where will he be inclined? There is nothing or none which / who may stay at all times, everywhere, in everything, in every person, in every state and in every circumstance. But God pervades equally everywhere, at all times, in everything, in every person, in every state and in every circumstance. In the entire universe, there is nothing else besides God.

An Easy and Quick Means to Realize God

                                                       An Easy and Quick Means to Realize God
                                     ( Bhagwat Praapti ka Sugam Tathaa Sheedhra Siddhidaayak Saadhan )

Shree Hari

A man can realize God very easily and quickly. But it is because of the attachment to the world that it seems that God will be realized with great difficulty and appears to take a very long time. In fact, God Realization is not difficult, but renunciation of attachment to the world is difficult. If we reflect upon it deeply, we come to know that renunciation of attachment is also not difficult. The reason is that no attachment constantly persists. A person is predominantly attached to two things – pleasures and prosperity. But attachment to them does not constantly persist even for a single day. It has no power at all to persist constantly.

We are attached to the things which emanate and perish. This is a rule that things which emanate and perish, can never satisfy a man (self). How can the perishable satisfy the imperishable? How can attachment to the perishable be imperishable? It can't be at all ! Attachment is a fleeting flaw. The method to root it out is to enhance the one and only desire (longing) and that is, "may I develop love (prem) for only God". We should think over day and night, how to enhance love for Him. Besides love for Him, we should have no other desire, not even the desire for His vision (darshan). In this desire of love for God, there is a remarkable power. If this desire is enhanced, God can be realized very quickly. This desire should be enhanced so much that all other desires are annihilated. If there is only one burning desire - "I must have exclusive love for God", this desire will be fulfilled within no time.

"May God appear sweet and dear to me and may I feel Love for His lotus feet." - this is indeed our necessity (essential need, aavashyaktaa). There is a difference between "necessity" and "desire". The worldly desire is called longing, wish, craving, hope etc., while the desire for God is called necessity, hunger or thirst etc. It means that attraction towards the perishable is desire; and attraction towards the imperishable is a necessity (aavashyaktaa). A desire attracts a man towards pleasure and prosperity, while necessity directs a man towards the association with exalted souls, adoration and meditation etc. It is a rule that desires are never satiated, while necessity (aavashyaktaa) is certainly fulfilled. The extent to which we have accepted our affinity for the inert (insentient), to that extent we feel a lack (shortage) of things, and that shortage is compensated only by necessity. When affinity for the inert is renounced totally, desires are wiped out and necessity (essential need) is fulfilled.

Till today all desires of even a single person have not been satiated. If we gain a lot of wealth, riches, property, pleasures and even kingdom of infinite universes, our desire will never be satiated, it will remain unsatisfied. But the necessity is certainly fulfilled, it is never wiped out. If the8e is no desire for or attachment to anything, the necessity will be fulfilled undoubtedly. (to be continued)

Only God is Mine

                                                                    Only God is Mine

                                                                ( Mere toh Giridhar Gopal )

Shree Hari
Tere bhaavai jo kuch karo, bhalo buro sansaar |
"Naarayana" tu baithi ke, apanou bhavan buhaar ||

We are only concerned with God. If we are good, we are His, if we are bad, we are His.
Jou hum bhale bure tout ere |

Tumhen humaari laaj badaayi, binate suni prabhu mere || (Suravinay 236)

In this world not even a spark will remain ours. It will not stay at all. Not in the least bit. It was never ours, then how will it remain ours? The world is constantly separating from us. The number of years that have passed since birth, that many years we have already died, and the remaining years that are left, those too are the kind that will go away. Besides God, nothing is ours. Therefore call out to God, O' Lord! O my very own Lord ! No one is mine, only You are mine. No one else is mine. Thereafter rejoice, there will be joy ! God is Mine - taking this point, begin to dance, begin to jump, as your work is now complete! Offer everything at the Lord's lotus feet. Do not become a slave to anyone even in your dreams. Take out slavery from the heart. Begin to dance, that today we are blessed! If someone asks "Oh! What did you get? Then say, whatever was to be found, has been found! That God, is naturally attained by everyone, and is situated in everyone. And He is mine. There is no need for anyone, there is no begging from anyone ! There is no concern about anyone. If someone remains happy, then great, if they are unhappy, then great ! We do not give sorrow to anyone, we do not go against anyone, and even in our dreams we do not wish anything wrong of anyone, then whether someone is pleased or displeased, is their wish. We have nothing to do with anyone.

There is no point equivalent to the point - God is mine. There never will be, There cannot be. Now that we have come to know this point, then it is joy! So many days we have been a slave to others and suffered for no reason. Now we pay our respect to all ! All are great, but we have nothing to do with any of them. We are only concerned about God. However, we do not want to take anything from even God. We have no need of such things.

Doondhaa sab jahaan mein, paaya pataa tera nahin |
Jab pataa teraa lagaa, ab pataa meraa nahin ||

In reality, there is no "I" at all, it is only You and You alone. Whether big or small, good or bad, it is all You and You alone. Now we have grasped the essence ! the genuine thing ! Now we know that there is only You, I am not there at all ! Neither I am there, nor is anything mine. Only You and Yours. Now there is joy and only joy. Perfect bliss, infinite bliss, total bliss, peace filled bliss, unshakable bliss, bliss outside, bliss inside, bliss and only bliss.

Narayan ! Narayan !! Narayan !!!
