Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Plain and absolutely correct reply. May god bless us all srikrishna_ghadiyaram wrote:Hari Om !! Holy persons will definitely be of help, if they are in a practice of listening to common man's mundate worldly concerns, and answer them to give peace of mind. I read a very interesting anecdote: Once someone asked Sri Malayala Swami, a great sage of Vyasasramam, Erpedu, Chittoor Dist. Andhara pradesh, "Swami why are you doing Tapas ? Is it for Lords darshan or Mukti etc...." Then Swami said, " I am not doing Tapas for darshan of Lord Narayana. What will he tell me more than what is told in Bhagavad Gita !! " (He said very interesting things in continuation. But, I am stopping here). So, when you think carefully, in his answer above the Swami has a subtle answer. We will find solace and right direction in reading out traditional scriptures with devotion and Sraddha (faith). So, I would propose that you should read Bhagavad Gita, and/or Devi Saptha Sati (Devi Gita) and offer regular prayers. Once you are steady, when the time comes you will find the teacher coming to you. Also, if you do not feel shy and are open minded to share your concerns, you can post your questions to this list or advaita- vedanta.org or Advaitin lists, and you should get answers from people who would have gone through your similar situation.
