to be a nice Guy, but at what cost ?

We have told you about different incidents which we observed around

us, related to sadhaks. The purpose is to look at those acts from

different perspective. Every action has some justification for it.

What a person is doing or not doing, surely has some reason. Reasons

which we approve or disapprove determine how we are going to react.

It happens in all walks of life and we discuss here about the

persons doing sadhnas or opposing the path of sadhna.

 

Sometimes just to maintain an image of a nice guy we overlook many

things. It is required also, in a civilised society. Rules we make

are based on our convenience only. If we are not in a position to

make other person realize his/her mistake we have no choice but to

be nice to him/her. It may me due to lack of courage, fear of

retaliation or injury and many similar reasons. In some rare cases

it may be a gesture of tolerance and open-mindedness. Most difficult

situation arises at the time when it is expected from us to make a

person at fault to realise his/her mistake. Keeping quite at time is

a crime or even something more than that. For a sadhak it is a sin

which will be a karmic burden for him.

 

We narrate here a few more incidents.

 

We consider the Prasad distributed by a temple to the devotees as

something very sacred. If that prasad is from Gurudham then it is

more important than that. We saw prasad offered by Gurudham to a

person being kept on the boundary wall of Gurudham by that person.

He didn't eat it may be due some kind of fear in his mind about the

sadhnas or tantra. May be he had visited Gurudham just due to

curiosity. Do we expect that kind of persons be persuaded in polite

language to do sadhnas? Is our path of sadhna so worthless that we

waste our time convincing those kinds of persons about the divine

importance of Guru and Gurudham? May be when they will get deceived

in their life in spite of all their cunningness and cleverness they

will realize what is the power of tantra or importance of Guru. We

do not need any siddhi to tell that serious problems are bound to

come into the life of every person. Even without consulting an

astrologer a person should know that problems and dangers are bound

to come in the life and there is no need to be careless about that

simple but grim fact.

If there were no problems in life then why would a person care to

remember God or Guru?

A fact is fact and even if we cover it up with sweet words it will

not change therefore it is better to keep it in mind in its true

sense and importance.

 

On some other occasion we saw a woman making negative comments about

Gurudev on the main gate of Gurudham Delhi and threatening to run

propaganda against Gurudev on TV telecast. Such persons are so

shameless that they do not shut their mouth even after being shown

the exit door. It just shows how much responsibility we have as

siddhashram sadhak parivar members. We have no option but to be

determined to crush these kinds of obstacles without forgiving.

Sadhnas are not for discussion but to used in these kind of

circumstances without any delay. Whether we face them in our

personal lives or in situations like that mentioned above. We just

can not sit back by repeating the "Gurudev will take care of that".

They will surely take care but what are we doing then? Are we

siddhashram sadhak parivar members or spectators enjoying the events

happening around us?

We are not responsible for making a buffalo understand the divine

bliss of music flowing out Sri Krishna's flute. We better use our

effort to persons who are worth it. It is said that even a

worthless person deserves the love of Guru if he cares to follow

what Guru says to him, but effort has to be made by that person only.

 

In one more incident we saw a sadhak saying to his friend "what

difference the presence of Guru in Gurudham make? There is no need

to be eager about their presence of Gurudham." He was telling this

to his friend. He was also telling how he performs havan and what

all good quality of ingredients he uses for his havan. For that

sadhak his personal effort was more important than anything else.

These kinds of sadhaks belong to the categories who think being

senior in doing sadhnas is more important than being dignified when

making a statement about Guru or sadhna. These kinds of sadhaks have

many more serious problems about their approach towards sadhnas as a

disciple, which we mentioned in some earlier mails. We observe these

things around us so that we do not fall in similar trap.

 

We also saw advertisement pamphlets of a roadside tantrik thrown at

the gate of Gurudham to attract attention of sadhaks and exploit any

element of weakness in the devotion of sadhaks coming to Gurudham.

 

These are some of the incidents which we told you. The reason of

telling all this is that "it is not easy to be committed disciples

until we do something on practical terms to remove any type of

obstacles, either in our personal lives or in efforts made by

Gurudham".
