Lord Shri Ram

Do you know how the spirit is influenced by pleasure and pain? When iron is burned in fire it appears like fire, and in the same way, when the spirit is reflected through intellect, we feel that it is influenced by pleasure and pain. But, in reality, Spirit is invariable and dispassionate.

No one so far has found lasting bliss in wealth. True happiness is achieved by doing one's duty properly and by investing the money thus earned in noble works, in doing spiritual actions and it is unparalleled.

"BINA VIDHARE JO KARE, SO PACHHE PACHHTAY,

KAM BIGARE APNO, JAG ME HOT HANSAY."

Those who act unthinkingly repent later. Their work is ruined and they become a laughing stock.

"HIT ANHIT PASHU PAKSHIHU JANA.

MANUSH TAN GUNA GYAN NIDHANA."

Even animals and birds know what is good and bad for them, but a human body is treasure of virtue and knowledge.

“ Majjan phal pekhiya tatkala. Kak hoy pik bakau marala .” A crow-like person becomes like a cuckoo after swimming in the Ganges of satsang and those behaving like cranes become swans. If you place a mixture of milk and water before a crane, it will either drink the mixture or leave it, but a swan will extract the milk from the mixture and leave the water. Only a swan has the capacity to segregate milk and water from the mixture. It is written that consciousness is not awakened without spiritual discourse.

What is that Name which has been so glorified? It is called ‘Ram', because it vibrates everywhere, it is omnipresent. That Name is different. Tell me even one verse in the Ramayana which says we should utter ‘Ram-Ram'. It is written in the Ramayana to remember Ram-Naam: “ Ram nam mani deep dharu, jih dehri dwar. Tulsi bhitar baharo, jo chahasi ujiyar .” (Keep the self-effulgent jewel of the Name on the threshold of your heart if you want illumination both inside and outside). In this verse also, it is written ‘Ram Naam'. “ Nam prabhav jaan ganrau. Pratham pujiyat naam prabhau. ” Ganesh Ji knew the glory of the Name and so he is worshipped first amongst all gods.

“ Naam prabhav jan shiv niko. Kal koot phal dinha ami ko .” Lord Shiva thoroughly understands the glory of ‘Naam' by virtue of which he drank poison and it was transformed into nectar. “ Naam prabhav Shambhu avinashi. Saj amangal mangal rashi. Mangal bhawan amangal hari, uma sahit jehi japat purari .” (Due to the power of the Name Lord Shiva is immortal and the home of blessings). What is that ‘Naam' which Lord Shankar and Uma remember? Today, there is not one person here who follows Lord Rama! He said long ago, “ Aurahun ek sugupta mat, sabahin kahaun kari jori. Shankar bhajan bina nar, bhagati na pawahin mori .” – “I will tell you a secret. Nobody can be truly my devotee unless he does Shiva-meditation”. Mahamantra (the primordial vibration) is that which Lord Shankar also meditates upon. Only this can liberate and is the same thing as the Shankar bhajan (Lord Shiva's meditation), without which nobody can achieve real devotion to Lord Rama. It is said, “ Ram ek tapas tiya tari. Naam koti khal kumati sudhari .” Ram granted redemption to one lady, Ahilya, but the Name has liberated thousands of devotees. “ Ram bhalu kapi katak batora. Setu hetu shram kinha na thora. Naam let bhawshindhu sukhahin karahu vichar sajjan man mahin. ” – Rama enlisted the help of an army of monkeys and bears and with much difficulty built a bridge, whereas simply remembering the Name dries up the ocean of mortality! Let those who are wise wonder about this. What is Shankar bhajan and Mahamantra ? St. Kabir says, “ Tantra mantra sab jhuth hain, mat bharmo sansar. Sar shabda jane bina, koi na utarasi par ”, which means that tantras and mantras are not the real thing, so don't be led astray. But still you are busy chanting mantras. I ask you, when you chant mantras, where is your mind? Your gurus are also entangled in such mantras. “ Shabda bina surati andhari, kaho kahan ko jay. Dwar na pawe shabda ka, phir phir bhatka khay. ” St. Kabir says that this is not meditation and without finding the ‘door' of the Name, you will revolve in the cycle of birth and death. St Tulsidas Ji said, “ Kalyug kewal nam adhara. Sumari sumari nar utarahin para ” which means that in Kaliyug one can get salvation only with the help of the eternal and primordial Name of God.

Narad Muni once asked Mata Parvati, “Please ask Lord Shankar why he wears a necklace of human skulls. Some people wear flowers, some wear rudraksha necklaces and some wear pearl necklaces, but Lord Shankar wears a necklace of human skulls. This is very strange.” When Mata Parvati asked Lord Shankar, he laughed and said, “Parvati, these skulls are yours! Whenever you have been born you married me. So I made this rosary of all of your skulls. Now that you have seen it, you will remember how many births you have taken.”
