Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Preamble: Swamiji describes the comfort and greatness of that trance in the following three hymns. Verse 116 Na tat sukham suremdrasya na sukham chakravartinaam / Yatsukham veeta raagasya sadaa samtushta chetasah // One who is detached and ever contented enjoys the comfort far greater than that of Devendra, the king of Gods, or emperors. Some people think that the Brahma chimtanam (thinking of God) is impossible for the married people. But one who leads a wonderful redeemed life, always thinking of the Absolute and detached in spite of his married life with the strong conviction that that was only at the bidding of God, enjoys greater comfort than Devendra. You should also get such a comfort. Indeed, it is not you alone who is anxious for the Almighty, but He is also eager for you. Can you measure the happiness you get when your son who missed you twenty years ago suddenly apppears before you? (Refer to the story of Emperor Nahusha in Datta Darshan). Similarly, the Almighty feels great joy when the beings born of Him but became oblivious of Him again merge in Him. Do you know that the Almighty assumes several incarnations, sends many great souls as His carriers and strains a lot to let you merge in Him?
