There is musk right in the navel of a deer but, due to ignorance, he wanders here and there in search of it. Likewise, the Almighty exists within a human being, but he searches for Him outside at many places. Its secret is revealed only by the living Spiritual Master.
One should remember Holy Name while sitting, standing up, sleeping as well as awake, then all he does will be successful and he achieves the goal of human life.
O Arjun, remember me all the time and fight. Because if you remember me continuously, then whenever and wherever you die, you will go nowhere but to me. www.manavdharam.org
Nobody wants loss but it still occurs; nobody wants death, but it is inevitable and beyond man's choice. Same is the case with achieving fame or recognition. If we study this verse carefully, then the hidden meaning of Ramcharitmanas is understood. To whom did the loss occur? To the people of Ayodhya from where Lord Rama was exiled. And who gained? Those saints and sages who were meditating in the woods, those who were meditating in the caves and waiting for the darshan of the Lord. Also Bhilni, who used to sweep the path daily waiting for the Lord. When and how did the Lord oblige her? As a rule, devotees eat the `prasad' given by God but in case of Bhilni, Lord Rama ate fruit which she had already tasted.
Only the true Master reveals the path leading to the ultimate goal, because only one who is himself free can make us free. Only he whose heart is illuminated by Divine Light can ignite the light within our hearts. During the Diwali festival, you light candles in your houses using a candle which you have already lit. Only a lit candle has the potential to light another candle and thus eradicate darkness. The darkness of our mind is due to anger, attachment, temptation and vanity and can be eradicated by the one who is himself enlightened with the Divine Light.
We go to doctors. A doctor prescribes medicines and also prescribes some dietary restrictions in order to cure the disease. The doctor says, “Look, the problem lies in your stomach. Do not eat rich food, give up rice. Do not eat fried things and sweets.” If a person is diabetic but eats sweets, what will happen? His pathology tests will indicate a high sugar content. If the patient complains that the doctor did not treat him well then whose mistake is this? Definitely the doctor is not at fault in this case. Likewise when we are initiated, we are instructed to curb our worldly indulgence. The first instruction is to do meditation regularly every morning.
Earth is made from the Word, sky is made from the Word, light is made from the Word; the entire creation is made from the Word which is within everyone's heart.
People who take support of spirituality, experience peace and bliss in life. They realize the Truth by the Word of the Master and their sins get wiped out. Those who sing the glory of God, love spirituality and on whom God's grace showers, get the treasure of devotion.
