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 !!!

Shree Hari

Only That One God is mine - There is no greater sacrifice then this, no greater austerity, no greatercharity, no greater holy place, no greater knowledge, no greater talk. Therefore, believing God to be our own, remainever joyful. Let there be no desire to go, nor tostay. Only God is of concern. Besides God, no one else is mine at all. Inthe infinite universes, not even a tinyspeck is mine, not even a small thing like a spark is mine. There is nothing that is mine, nothing wasmine, nothing will be mine, and nothing can ever be mine. Therefore, accept that one God as your very own, then you will be greatlybenefited. Besides God, you have nothingto do with anyone even in your dreams. There is no need to be a slave to anyone. What have we to take from anyone, what have we to give to anyone. Those who are related to us, for how long will they be with us! "sapnaa-sa ho jaavasi, sut kutumb dhan dhaam" ! A dream is remembered, but those people will not even be remembered. Just has when you dislike adream, then you will forget it. In this world, this man is good, and thisone is no good; this should happen, andthis should not happen, these are simplyattachments. Attachment is at the rootof all diseases. "Mohasakal byaadhinh kar moolaa" (Manas, Uttarkaand 121/15). Whether it becomesalright or not, what has it got to do with us? Others may seek us out, but whatneed do we have of anyone? What have wegot to do with the men of this world? Simply remember one thing - " Mere toGiridhar Gopal, Doosero na koyi" "Only God is mine, there is none other."

If you feel thirsty, then drinkwater, if you feel hungry then eat bread (roti). If you feel cold, then coveryourself with cloth. However, if you don't get apiece of cloth, then so be it! If thebody goes away, then well and good, wehave nothing to do with any of this. Wehave nothing to do with the body remaining or the body going away. We are only concerned about God - thinking so, become joyful, rejoice ! Dance ! as now you know, become estatic! Now we need not be a slave toanyone.

Up-down, outside-inside, everywhere, there is that One God only -
Bahiranterschbhootaanaam charam charameva cha  (Gita13/15)

Yacchkischijjagatyasmindruschyate shruuyatepi va |
Antrbahishrchtatsarvam vyaapya naaraayanah sthitah || (Mahaanaraayanopanishad11/6)

That God is closer than close, farther than far, more outside than ever, more inside than in. Thereis only that One Paramatma (God), and He is mine - so thinking, become joyful. If someone comes then it is God, if someone goes then it is God. If someone loves, then it is God, if someonehates, then it is God. Whatever anyonedoes, it is God and God alone. Callout to that God, "He Naath ! He Mere Naath ! O' Lord! O my Lord! Let me not forgetYou.: Your life will be fulfilled! This is such a great point! Such elevated talks ! It is so true ! It is so pure ! Do not see to what others are doing. What have we got to do with all that?

continued.........
Do not look towards your actions, do not look towards your sins, only look towards God. Just as Viduraani gives God a banana peel, then the Lord eats that peel. The joy that the Lord gets from eating a banana peel, he does not get even from eating the banana kernel "giri". This is because the feelings that Viduraani has in her mind is that God is mine. Just as seeing a hungry child the feelings with which a mother feeds her child, Viduraani's feelings were even greater than that. Similarly, you too accept God as your very own. Do not worry in the least bit about living or dying. Do not be afraid of anyone. You do not have to be reliant on anyone. Simply one thought "Only God is mine, there is none other." If you settle on this thought, then you will be blessed. But to earn lots of money, to enjoy pleasures, to attain name and fame then all this will be of no use -

Sapnaasaa ho jaavasee, sut kuttumb dhan dhaam,
Ho sachet baldev needs, japa ishvar ka name

Manushya tan phir phir nahin hoyi,
Kiya shubh karma nahi koyi,

Umra sab gafaalatmein khoyi |

From today onwards, become God's and remain so. What others do, God only knows. We have nothing to do with all that. If entire world becomes upset, then do not be concerned, but do not leave the point that - God is mine. Meerabai caught hold of the point that henceforth I cannot stay apart from my God. - "Mil bichudan mat keejai." Thereafter even her body was not found after her death. She merged with God and became one with Him ! Besides the one God, I have nothing to do with anyone.

Antahun tohin tajainge paamar, tu na taaje abahee te | (Vinayapatrikaa 118)

In the end all will leave you, no one will remain yours, therefore leave them from the very beginning.

Saadhu vichaarkar bhali samajhyaa, divee jagat ko pooth |

Peeche dekhi bigadatee, pahale baithaa rooth ||

Later on all will get spoilt, then spoiling your own work, what is there to be gained? Right now become God's. You and yours and I and mine.

There is no one that is ours and we are no ones, only God is mine and I am God's. Taking the support of the Lord's lotus feet, become blissful. Who is pleased, who is displeased, who is mine, who is not mine, do not be concerned about all these things. Whether they criticize or praise; condemn or honor, it is their wish. We have nothing to do with praises or criticism, honor or dishonor. If all become pleased, then so what? And if all become displeased, then so what? What has it got to do with us? (to be continued)

Only God is Mine

Only God is Mine
( Mere toh Giridhar Gopal )

Shree Hari
Human body has been received by God's grace, and only for realizing Him. Therefore leaving all work aside, become engaged in God. He whose age is advanced, they must most certainly become connected with God. He whose age is younger, they too must with a true heart become absorbed in God. Do all the work in the world, but our real aim, goal, objective must remain only God realization.

As such the existence is of one Paramatma (God) only. If you pay attention to the world, then all is going to go away, and it is constantly perishing. Look at yourself, when you were born from your mother's womb, at that time what was the state of your body? And now how is it? The world is constantly changing, and God is always the same. The world will most certainly not stay put and God will never change. That God is ours, and we are God's - in this we must remain firm. Just as a small child says that mother is mine. If someone asks him that why is this mother yours? Then he does not have an answer to this. In his mind there is no question as to why this mother is mine? This Maa (mother) is mine, that is it! In this there is no doubt at all. In the same way, you too should have no doubt and with a firm conviction accept that God is mine. Besides God, no one else is mine; because they all are going to go away. That which you are most careful about, that money, property, house etc, will all go away. You will not even remember it. If there is some way to remember this then please share as to where were you before this birth? Who were your mother-father, wife-son ? Which was your house? Just as you do not remember your previous birth, similarly you will not remember about this birth. That which you will not even remember, for that why are you so troubled for no reason? This is all within your experience, that no one is yours. All have come together and will later part ways. Therefore accepting that, "Only Giridhar Gopal (God) is mine, no one else is," become joyful. Worldly work is getting messed up, so let it be so. It is the kind to get ruined. Even if it improves, it will get destroyed, but later on it will be very good. Even if the whole world goes away, then too there is no concern. Besides these two - I and God, there is no one else. I am only God's and only God is mine - besides this, do not look towards any other talk, do not think at all.

Only that One Paramatma (God) is pervading everywhere. Besides Him there is no one else, no one has ever been and no one can ever be. That Paramatma (God) is mine - believing so, become joyful, become pleased. Whether we are good or bad, do not worry about that. Just as when Bharatji is going to Chitrakoot, when he looks towards his mother Kaikayi, then his feet slip backwards, and when he looks towards himself, then he stands up straight, and when he looks towards Lord Raghunathji (God, Lord Ram), then he prances forward -
Jab samujhat Raghunaath subhaau |
Tab path parat utaayil paau || (Manas, Ayodhyaa. 234/3)

Real Greatness

Real Greatness
( Vaastavik Baddappan )

Shree Hari
continued ...

It is verily a bondage to hold one's self high or great merely on the strength of owning things that are ephemeral or transitory nature. Bondage is not some animal ! Redemption from this very thralldom is liberation. You are free the moment this bond is cast off. Tell me - aren't you self-reliant, free and liberated when you do not depend for your being on fleeting opinions of others ? Tell me?

Listener - You are right, Maharajji (Holy Sire) !

Swamiji - If it is all right, then why should we remain dependent? Please, be merciful and from this very moment thoughtfully accept that you will not regard yourself big or high simply because of the official position you hold; not even by virtue of wealth are you going to feel yourself great. Neither we are great because many people praise and honor us nor we shall fall low because people denounce or decry us. Can you in essence accept and believe this truth or not? Tell me.

Listener - Yes, we can do so.

Swamiji - They, why delay at all? For whom are you waiting? For what sort of circumstance are you in anticipation of, for whose particular power or might are you waiting? Which time, whose support or succor, whose instructions you are awaiting now? For whom are you awaiting? Tell me. I pray unto you that from just now you resolve that you would never regard yourself big or small, high or low on the count of petty things of transitory nature. The Lord has said -

"aagamaapaayino'nityaastaamstitikshasva bhaarata" (Gita 2/14)

i.e. things and beings which are perishable and impermanent - bear or brook them. To tolerate them is to be free from the totality of impact, their coming and going out of existence might otherwise cause. In such a state of freedom, there is bound to be a boundless peace of mind and blissful blessedness of heart. Do it and see it for yourself. True it is ! I cast no deception! You will feel extremely unburdened and enjoy supreme bliss as if you have escaped from sinking into death-dealing morass.

Narayana ! Narayana !! Narayana !!!
