My Friends!

 

This beggar learnt at the feet of Swami Ramdas the divine name of

Rama, and beg, beg all of you not to forget the divine name Rama.

Whatever you do, wherever you are, be like Anjaneya -Maruthi thinking

of Rama and doing your actions in this world. At every stage we face

problems, today one problem, tomorrow another problem, the day after

tomorrow another problem. And on account of facing these problems

often we get dejected, disappointed, psychologically sick, if we

don't remember the name of Divine. So this beggar will beg all of you

not to forget the Divine name, Rama. There are people who like to

remember the name of Siva.It is equally good - there are people who

like to remember the name of Ganapathi -equally good. whatever name

you choose,whatever form you choose but give to this beggar what he

wants. Never forget the Divine. Live in the world and the problems

will be there. If we are remembering the Divine name, we are

psychologically sound. May be, we may feel a little some of the

problems. Even then the intensity with which we feel if we don't have

faith in God is much more than a man of faith - a man who remembers

the name of Rama. So this beggar is always begging, begging for food,

begging for clothes, begging that you should compose songs on this

beggar, build a house for me - a cottage for me - this thing - that

thing - so many things. But this beggar will beg of you this also,

and you are always giving what this beggar has begged. So this beggar

begs please don't forget the name of God. This Divine name has been

always of great help to all in the world

 

You read Kabir, Tulsi, Sur, Appar Swamy, Manickavasaga Swamy - how

they emphasized Namasivaya. Don't forget it- this is your heart- this

is your soul. Whether it be Om Namasivaya or Om Namo Narayana whether

Rama, Siva or Krishna whatever name you choose, whatever form you

choose doesn't matter. But remember the lord with any name, with any

form of your choice. Just as when there is heavy rainfall, we take an

umbrella, and go on doing our work in the factory, in the field,

wherever we go for marketing and catching hold of the umbrella we go

though the rain is falling there. But still we work-still we work-do

our work. Similarly we have got so many problems all around. This

divine name is just like an umbrella in the heavy rainfall. Catch

hold of the divine name and go on doing your work in the world. This

beggar begs of you and this beggar has received all he has begged of

you. So I think none of you will shrink away, when this beggar begs

of you, don't forget the divine name. This beggar prays to his father

to bless you all who have come here. My Lord Rama blesses you- My

Father blesses you. Arunachalaswara blesses you. It doesn't matter to

me what name it is. All the blessings of my father for all of you!

Well, that is the end. That is all.

Thank you kripa for your wonderful post.

 

Most of the time, we land in trouble for we do not contemplate on the

One.

We hold not the umbrella of the Divine in our times of distress, and

blame the One for our miseries, little remembering our own follies.

 

I remember one of Ramana Maharshi's teachings when I read your post.

I cannot trace the original text, so I'm typing his teachings in my

own words.

 

Once a devotee went to Maharshi and questioned him about faith and

Guru.

The Maharshi replied, "When a passenger travels in a first class

compartment in a train, he tells the guard to wake him up when his

destination arrives. So saying he closes his door, and goes to sleep.

He sleeps peacefully because he trusts that the guard will wake him

up when his destination arrives. Similarly if you at least have that

much trust in your Guru, that you have in the guard, in your

spiritual journey, your Guru will take care of everything. Your only

business is to close the door and sleep."

 

In the Bhagavad Gita too, Krishna says,

"Ananyaaschinthayantho maam

Ye janaah paryupaasathe

Theshaam nithyaabhiyukthaanaam

Yogakshemam vahamyaham."

 

He promises that He will take care of our welfare, and all our needs,

if we surrender unto Him, and fill all our thoughts with Him.

 

But do we trust Him enough ?

 

Hari Aum !!!
