|| Shree Hari ||
(Bhagwaan se Sambandh)
If you desire something, than desire only God. If you get angry, then get angry with God.
"Krodhoapi devasya varenya tulyah"
"If God gets angry with us, then His anger too will be varenya tulyah " i.e. as good as a boon.
It has come in the Narada Bhaktisutra that,
"Kaam krodhabhimaanadikam tasminneva karaneeyam" (65)
Let us say that God becomes the subject and reason for doing anything. Whether it be desires (passion, lust), or anger or greed, whatever it be, let it be towards God. By doing so, what will happen is -
"Tasmaatkenaapyupaayen manah krushne viveshyet".
In any which way we engage the mind in God, then it is for our supreme welfare (kalyaan) only. Just like, if we play with fire, if we touch it, and by mistake our foot touches it, even if we have no knowledge that there is burning coal there, then too it will burn us, without doubt, even though we do not want it to burn.
"agnicchayaapi sansprushto dahatyeva hi paavakah"
Similarly, if God's name is taken, in which ever way, if a relationship with God is established, then it will destroy all sins - "asheshaghaharam viduh" This point has been brought out pertaining to God's Divine Name. What to speak of the "Self" (swaroop)?
By establishing a relationship with God, the relationship becomes a connection with God. Just has by establishing a relationship with the world, we undergo birth and death -
"Kaaranam gunasangosya sadasadhyonijanmasu" "Asya gunasangah sat asat yonishu janmah kaaranam"
Thus what is the cause of our birth and death? "gunasangah" i.e. association with the mode of nature. In the same manner if the association is with the "Nirguna" (one without the modes), then how can it be the cause of birth and death? This is the same question that was asked by Parikshit, in Raas-Panchaadyaayee - "God! The Gopis see Lord Krishna only in the form of an attractive and charming human being, not in His Universal form, then how is it that the Gopis who were deeply connected to the modes (qualities and attributes), how were they able to disconnect from the mode of nature? To this Sukhdevji Muni replied - "Even Chaidhya who had extreme animosity towards God, attained God Realization." -
"Chaidhya siddhim yatha gatah to kimutadhokshajapriyaah."
What to speak the attainment of salvation of he who is dear to God. In any which way, relationship is to be established with God, by any method, whether it be out of revenge, love, relationship, devotion, hatred, or fear.
"Bhayaat kamsah dveshaacchaidhyadayo nrupaah vrshnayah sambandhaat bhaktyaa vayam"
Naradaji said - "if any which way one gets connected with God then it will most certainly lead to supreme welfare (kalyaan). Such is the case. God knows this point and God's loving devotees know this point. Any third person does not know this fundamental truth.
People have doubts that why was it necessary for God to incarnate in this world? Couldn't he protect the sadhus (holy men), destroy the evil-doers and establish Dharma (righteousness) merely by His will and resolve (sakalp)? It is not that He could not do so. He continues to do so, than what is the reason for His incarnation?
"Paritraanaaya saadhunaam vinaashaaya cha druskrutaam |
Dharmasansthaapanaarthaaya sambhavaami yuge yuge ||" (Gita 4/8)
