Do Not Worry If You Have Committed Sin

[Guest guest]

Jaya Guru Datta,

 

Here is today's saying:

 

“ . . . if you have committed sins, do not worry. This Sansaara is like the

thorny plant and . . . it is a Narakka (hell) . . and . . . invites us to

commit sins. That is why Swamiji said that we must fight it and face it.

Swamiji says:

 

Follow the Master

Have Faith in God

Face the devil

Fight the enemy

Finish the Game

 

and thus, like the Rose flower, be fit to please the Bhagwan who always

appreciates it.

 

Take the case of sage or a Saint - living in the snow-clad hills of the

Himalayas. He has no Sansaar (worldliness) to fight and no devil to face.

Consequently his Mukti (liberation) is very much delayed. The liberation of

those who face this Narakka (hell) of ths Sansaar is quick. Why? Because

Bhagwan has got tremendous Daya (compassion) for the Sansarees and like them to

bloom like the Rose flower from a thorny plant. You cannot attain this without

suffering the Dukha (pain) of Sansaara, which is an abode of pain, just like the

Rose flower cannot grow without thorns. With unflinched Bhakti, this war with

pain- Dukha will ultimately result in true Sukha - pleasure. The pain has to be

encountered with peace, tranquility, and Ananda (bliss). That is why Swamiji

says, Face the devil however difficult it may be and whatever disturbance and

restlessness it may cause and then Follow the Master."
