Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Divine Message of His Holiness Shri Datta Swami Q) Is it true that a Sanyasi alone can get the salvation? A) You must always concentrate on Swami only who is the human incarnation of the Lord. Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa said unless there is a command from the Lord, you should not enter into the service of the world. If your love is on the human beings only, you love only the souls but not the Lord. Your love is extended from your family to this world. Instead of a few people you love many people. For this you will get the heaven. But you have to return from the heaven. Your love on Swami alone can lead you to Brahmaloka. For Ex: Swami is cleaning a room with a broomstick. You have taken the broomstick from Swami and you are cleaning the room. In this work your motto should be that to help Swami in His work. If your motto is to clean the room for the sake of visitors to sit, your service is aimed at the world and not Swami. Serving the world is the responsibility of the Lord. Why should you bother about the responsibility of the Lord. Your responsibility is only to surrender to the Lord. Lakshmana followed Rama to the forest to serve Rama and not to kill Meghanatha in the war for the world peace. Sita could have smashed Ravana. Sita told Ravana that she is not smashing him because there was no permission from Rama (Asandesattu Ramasya – Valmiki). Hanuman could have killed Vali and Ravana by a single stroke. He did not do this to protect Sugriva and to protect the world. His aim was only to serve Rama. One soul cannot protect another soul. Therefore a human being can never uplift any other human being. Therefore while doing the service to the Lord your internal intention is very important. The fruit is according to your intention. If your intention is to serve the world you will go to heaven. If your intention is to serve the Lord you will go to Brahmaloka. But without service the intention is useless which will be like a life (Ghost) without the body. The service without intention is also a waste like a dead body without life. Therefore both the service and intention must associate with each other. The servant must do the service with the real intention towards the Lord. Scholars catch the direct train for salvation and take Sanyasa directly from Brahmacharya. The people who become householders also have to take Sanyasa finally (Krama Mukthi) according to the scriptures. One has to pass through all the four Ashramas and finally end in Sanyasa. If one dies as a householder, the death rituals include Godanam (Donating the cow) which is a clear proof for the concept that a householder always goes to hell. This means that the scriptures say that no one should die as a householder. He must enter Vanaprastha and finally must end in Sanyasa. In Vanaprastha the bond with all the issues are cut. But the bond with wife remains because wife is necessary for his service. If the wife opposes the spiritual line, he must immediately leave such wife and take sanyasa. In vanaprastha also one has to treat his wife as his sister only according to the scriptures. That means the wife is only just an associate in the work. Either you have to catch the direct train or at least change the trains to reach the goal. Without Sanyasa salvation is impossible. Sanyasa does not mean shaving the head and wearing a saffron cloth. Sanyasa means dedicating all his time and energy in the propagation of divine knowledge. Such real Sanyasi will reach the Brahmaloka, which is eternal. He does not need issues or death-rituals. Even women can take Sanyasa. Gargi, Sulabha etc., were very great Sanyasi – women. posted by: His servant at the lotus feet of shri datta swami www.universal-spirituality.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Divine Message of His Holiness Shri Datta Swami First of all, you must know that meditation is not the real path to attain the grace of the Lord. Meditation means fixing your mind on a form or formless God. You can imagine only any thing, which is in the realm of the space-time. This means that you can meditate upon only a part or total creation and not upon the creator. God is not the creation and is also not in the creation. If God is creation, you are also God and there is no need of any meditation. If God is in the creation, all the changes in the creation must affect the God. Kapila says "Asangohyayam purushash", which means that God is not associated with creation. Gita also says the same (Nachaaham Teshu..). God enters a small item of the creation and pervades all over that item for your service, which is only the proven love. Did you meditate upon your parents or wife or children? No, because you have real love to them. You serve them directly and not their photos or some other inert objects keeping as their models. You serve them in their human forms. They are different from their human bodies as souls. But you are serving the soul through the human body. Similarly the Lord enters a human body and available for your true love. You must take pains to detect him. Have you not taken pains to search a suitable girl for marriage to show your true love? Take the help of the divine knowledge. Vedas and Gita have given the procedure to detect the human incarnation. To cut your bonds with the family members, who are also, human beings, another human form of God is only the equal competitor. Formless objects, statues and photos cannot compete. Your body is also a human form. The bond with money is only for the human forms. If you develop the bond with human incarnation, which is Lord Himself called as Sadguru, He will bless you with divine knowledge, which alone can cut your worldly bonds. Since you have not fully realized, your attachment persists. The attachment is violent only due to the high intensity of ignorance, which is nothing but mis-interpreted and twisted wrong knowledge. Such ignorance can disappear only by the light of true divine knowledge. The source of that knowledge is Sadguru. Therefore, you must catch a Sadguru and hear His divine knowledge constantly. You must clarify your doubts at every stage. When you are fully clarified, the ignorance disappears like the darkness in the presence of sunlight. Thus, the root cause is only ignorance and root remedy is only true knowledge. When the ignorance is associated with egoism and jealousy, it is like diabetes associated with hypertension and kidney-failure. Your case is not serious because you are with ignorance only. It will be easy to treat you. posted by: His servant at the lotus feet of shri datta swami www.universal-spirituality.org om_agni_devi <no_reply> wrote: During deep meditation time and space are overcome.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Prakki I totally disagree the statements by swamiji as for as true meditation is concerned. Meditation ends with samadhi which is the deepest level of meditation where the "ego" is vanished and sheer self existance is left which also goes away and a soul is disbursered into universal existance which we call as god.(the supreme power) Meditation is not fixing your mind at all.This is where the statement is mistaken with meditation.The true meditation is watching the mind movements.In fact mind is not at all an organ Its centre of control where the pranic movements happen which charge the brain and associated body movements to activity. The meditator dont have to imagine while in meditation.It is true that god is not the creation and meditation turns exactly into it.is removes all the creative world and what is left is "nothing" or nirguna. The lord enters into human body means only when the human is available to receive him.Its done by meditating or by bhakti and making your mind free to accept godlyness into your within. "the ignorance disappears like the darkness in the presence of sunlight" happens only at the ultimate state of egoless existance and is called as samadhi. We reach and learn at sadguru since he has touched and or jumped into the ultimate purity of supreme god and is able to lead us to the pathway since he knows that. The clarification of daubts are not only verbal but they need to be spiritual, only when they can be satisfied. Sadguru dattaswami spiritual guru must be telling this to some persons which may not be much in meditation or may not be understanding meditation .As sadguru guides according to the deceple capacity or interests since peoples are in varieties. In this contest om agni devis statement i support.

I am not saying its the only way. Meditation is a very complicated matter both in technique and origin. Yoga has been studied and systemised in a brilliant way as the 6th philosophical system in India. Raja Yoga, the yoga of meditation, has been called RAJA due to its supremecy and has been practiced and taught by the greatest saints and yogis all over the world. Kriya yogis, nada yogis, hatha yogis, bhaktas, karma yogis, gyanis, tantrics, natha yogis, aghoris, swamis and monks, all traditions practice meditation in one way or another. Simplifying huge terms such as meditation and limiting them by labeling them as unreal paths towards God is a proof of religious and mental fanatism. Meditation is real, and those who practice it know this very well. The only Sadguru is the inner self. All others are only nice and helpful friends or frauds and mental- dictators.
