Sri Swamiji Discourses 17 & 18 Feb 2003 !!

[Guest guest]

You spend the limited resources you have planning how to defeat your enemy. This

is the problem with all disciples of all Sadgurus. They do not bring those

principles taught by the Gurus to their lives. It is never implemented.

 

Thankfully Governments do not control the nature. Had they the power to control

Sun, light or air, we would have reached heavy bills every month. Thank

goodness, we are not taxed to scratch our back or to yawn or sleep. Thank

Goodness the Sun is not in the hands of some corporation. The prayer continues

with – with whose order does the fire burn? The fire in stomach which is ordered

to digest what the humans eat. Poor thing. The fire in stomach. God did not even

imagine that the ingenious human would eat so many varieties of food. Chilies,

animals, coffees, we stuff and stuff. What else is there to eat? Many claim that

they die if they cannot drink coffee every morning. Die. Who cares? Many who

come to me asking for an interview complain that they cannot attain

concentration while meditation. How can he get if he stuffs his stomach so much?

The body retaliates in the form of non-concentration, monkey mind, disease,

unease etc.,

It is important that you learn the history of temples you visit. Don’t just go

to the shrine directly, pay money and perform Puja and come out with the

satisfaction of having done effort to gain Punya. It is equally important to

learn more about the history of the temple. Bhakti mixed with Jnana gives great

boons. When you start this, your mind automatically asks the questions “Who am

I?” this will lead you to learn Vedanta. Bhakti should lead to Jnana. Jnana in

turn leads you to Vairaagya. As Ramana Maharshi said – Indriya Nigraha “control

of sense organs” is keeping a sugar lump on your out stretched tongue and not

salivate. That is Vairaagya. Not just draping your body with Vibhooti.
