Relationship with God

||  Shree Hari   ||

(Bhagwaan se Sambandh)


continued
When God incarnates (takes avataar), it means that when He "comes down" to earthly plain, that is, God comes to our level, while we remain where we are. Just as when you teach a child, you also say – "A" for "A", and write "A", then what is this considered? You have come down to the level of the child. If you don't come down to the child's level, how will you be able to teach him? How will you make him understand? Now if you try to explain to him about grammar, then what will the child understand? In such instances, all you will have to do, is to keep repeating "A". You will continue to write "A", saying that "A" is like this, in this way you get to the child's level to teach him. Similarly, God takes "avataar" (incarnates) to show us – do like this. Do as I do. "Raamaadivat vartitavyam na raavanaadivat" one must do like this, and one must not do like this. Just as I incarnate and conduct my divine plays, you to do in the same way, and if you don't do, then listen intently, because "shravana mangalam," as listening to God and His divine legends leads to auspiciousness.

Those tormented by desires, their craving subsides once and for all, they having no desires thereafter, having no passionate feelings in the least bit, those liberated souls, those great personalities with perfect love, without being satiated, sing the glories of the Lord. They sing His glories day and night and continue doing so. Sankadik brothers, being totally pure, manifested themselves at the tender age of five. Three of them became the listeners and one became the orator and they began to share the Lord's divine legends. Now what was remaining for them to know? "charit sunahim taji dhyaanaa" leaving aside deep meditation, then began to listen to the legend, ways and conduct of the Lord. Why did they do so? Because Brother ! "Itham bhootguno Harih" (Srimad Bhagwat 1/7/10). Because God is such. He is so exceptional that "Aatmaraamganaakarshi" is His name. He who is constantly delighting in the Lord's divine form, they too become drawn and attracted in His qualities and Divine plays. God's qualities are not sattva (mode of purity), rajas (passion) and tamas (inertia). It means two things - one is that the recollection of the difference between the soul and the body, mind, intellect, ego, by which one is freed from the knot (between soul and body etc) after producing it's fruit. Now what will the holy texts provide? They will provide liberation and thus they were liberated. Now without selfishness, without any cause or reason, they are engaged in devotion and worship. Why are they doing so, without any cause? Such is the Lord, now what to do? They are attracted in that direction. Such are the Lord's divine qualities and His divine play, that even those who have become detached, they too continue to sing the glories of the Lord and engage in His divine play.
