Fwd: Getting rid of attachment

[Guest guest]

Hare Krsna

 

Even though darkness has been there from time immemorable, simply by lighting a lamp, the darkness vanishes. In some cave, even though it is dark for a million years, but by going there and lighting a lamp, the darkness will not say to you that it has been in the cave for so many years, and therefore it will not leave quickly. When the lamp light illumes, the darkness automatically disappears. Similarly the mistakes, the erroneous thinking, etc, will disappear. The way to get rid of attachment is - there is nothing to take from any one - this is "Karma Yoga" (Path of Action). We have no relation with the world at all - this is "Jnana yoga" (Path of Knowledge) and only God is Mine - this is

"Bhakti Yoga" (Path of Devotion). My relationship is with the world, the world is mine, and is for me - this is "Janam-Maran Yoga" (Path of Birth and Death) or "Yoga of Bondage" ! Time and again to be born and later to die ! Now in whatever path you see a gain, you pursue and attain it. Your relationship with Paramatama is innate and natural, and the relationship with the world is one that you have only accepted. However much of a bonding you develop with the world, it will not last. That which does not last, leave it from the beginning. "Bhali sauchhi sajjan janaa, divee jagatko poothPeechey dekhi bigadatee, pehele baithaa rooth." That which will get ruined later on, leave it from the beginning. If one leaves their family with a true heart and

becomes an ascetic, then if everyone in the family dies at the same time or the family size increases ten folds, it will not make any difference. However if even one person dies in the family and he begins to cry, then that ascetic has only taken a white cloth and spoilt it with dirt ! Just like an ascetic dies in the eyes of his family, in the same way you too die from all, then salvation (Freedom) will be attained. On dying itself, you will become immortal. The moment you die from the world, you become immortal. While living itself, die ! It has come in the writing of Saints - "Arey mana jeevatdo hi mar re." From today itself Die ! All work will become alright ! If you die from the family members, then their misery will also go away. Neither the third lunar, nor the twelfth day will need to be enforced, nor any other festivities, nor any expenses, all miseries will end ! The people in your

household will also be delighted and you too will be thrilled ! Bhagwaan, the scriptures and saints their grace is upon you from eternity, now it is on you to have mercy by accepting this grace, then you will be totally gratified. If you do not imbibe in the grace, then His grace which is flowing, will simply remain there and be of no use. That which you have held on to, leave it, then you will be freed. But now instead, you leave the family members, and grab hold of Guru, and say he is my Guruji, this is my Guru brother, this is my uncle Guru, this is my nephew disciple. You left one, and grabbed hold of another, then there will be no liberation, just as is, you will remain entangled and trapped. I had met a sadhu (ascetic). He said that his Guru gave him the knowledge, that he should leave his family, then I left the Guruji, as well. Now there remains, no Guru, no disciple, no uncle guru, no

nephew disciple. First from a householder, he became a sadhu (ascetic), and later from the sadhu also he become a sadhu (true renunciate). Do not consider the family as yours, and do not desire anything from them - only have such a relationship with your family. Whatever you have in terms of money, abilities, time, dedicate it to their service. By this all family members will be happy, and you will be liberated. Regarding previous relations, serve them and leave them, and at the same time do not establish and engage in new relations, then you will be remain ever free. What else will remain besides freedom?
