Happiness
is not good if it makes a man forget the Holy Name whereas sorrow
should be regarded as a very good thing and a blessing because it makes
us remember God every moment.
Counting
rosary beads, penance, self-restraint, meditation and all such
religious activities are included in remembrance of Holy Name of God.
St.Kabir says that devotees know that there is nothing equal to
remembering the Name.
The
grime of kaliyuga has polluted all religions and original scriptures
have disappeared. Conceited people have produced many religions out of
their own imagination and vanity.
God
is far away from those who are vain about their education, wealth,
livestock and physical strength. God belongs to the helpless. So long as
the king of elephants was proud of his physical strength and relied on
it to free himself from the clutches of an alligator, God did not
protect him but when, helpless and forlorn, he called on the Name, then
instantaneously God came and protected him.
Satguru
gave me the salve of knowledge which eradicates the darkness of
ignorance. By God's grace i met a true saint and now my mind has become
lighted.
Let
a stone strike the pleasures which cause one to forget the Holy Name,
whereas that sorrow is good which makes one remember the Holy Name every
moment.
Devotion
is the path which washes away all sins. Devotion should be free of
external showing-off, pride and ego and should be selfless. Only then
does it become meaningful. But who reveals the path of such devotion?
the living Satguru.
Even
scientists have to ultimately accept that Universal Power. In this
world, there are scientists engaged in searching for that Universal
Power, but this search is possible only through Spiritual Knowledge.
Becoming
light like a straw, patient like a tree, giving respect to others
without caring for self respect, understanding the greatness of the
Master, overcoming ego and pride soon makes one successful in
meditation. Similarly, satsang and obedience to the commands of the
Master and are most essential for acquiring ability.
