Guest guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Salutations to Thakur, Guru, and Ma! M. --"Bhoga is seen even in highly spiritual men. Renunciation of bhoga is called sannyasa. It is possible even within the household. Difficult it is, but God willing it comes. What if they have not taken the gurua? The gurua is nothing more than a sign-board--they live in the family, yet have renounced bhoga. Such great men are also there. They have a chance now. The reason is the avatara has come now. He makes them renounce bit by bit. And those who have not married, well, they are standing in the wide open-- in full flood of light. There was a little desire for bhoga in the nature of a bhakta. Thakur made him renounce bit by bit. He had married. In between, he would send him home. And at midnight he would pray to the Divine Mother : 'Mother, don't let him sink'. On the one hand he would send him home, on the other he would press the button. Even if a little karma, a little bhoga is left over, the guru will get it done. In the end, it is complete renunciation. God is holding you--the guru is always holding you from behind. Did that bhakta himself indulge in bhoga ? No, Thakur got it done. Why ? For no future anxiety. If the guru holds, there is no more fear. Satchitananda Kathy (M.--THE APOSTLE AND EVANGELIST. Vol. II., pp. 64-65) M.---"It is God who worries more for us. How much do we worry for Him ?" Sri Ramakrishna--"You are blessed witha guru. Why worry ?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
