fear & worldly intelligence

[Guest guest]

Divine Message of His Holiness Shri Datta Swami

 

 

Q) the cause of the fear?

Swami told that the cause of fear is only the ignorance about God. The

complete knowledge about God removes the fear completely. You can neither

protect yourself nor others. Any item of the creation cannot protect any other

item of the creation. The reason is every item has production and destruction.

Even the Lord in the human form has birth and death but has no fear. Jesus knows

about His future crucification. He never feared about it before or during the

crucification. He never feared for the soldiers who came to arrest Him. He never

argued about His case in the court, because He knows that the crucification has

to take place by the will of God. Therefore when you have the knowledge of God

and the knowledge of His will, you will not fear even about the death. The death

proves that everything and everybody other than God gets destroyed. Therefore

Jesus asked the people to fear about themselves and about their children and not

about His death. Lord Rama jumped into the river with

smiling face, Lord Krishna was smiling while leaving His body. Sri Padavallabha

and Sri Narasimha Saraswati merged in the Krishna river with smiles. Therefore

one will not fear even for death if the divine knowledge is attained. Gita says

that death is only changing the old shirt. Where the divine knowledge exists

like sunlight, the fear vanishes like darkness. Even in the last statement of

Jesus no trace of fear appears as He said that He is surrendering His soul to

the hands of God. Veda says that the limited knowledge is cause of the fear

(Atha Tasya Bhayam….).

 

Ø Mr Anil Antony asked Swami whether a very brilliant person in the worldly

affairs is blessed by God indicating his higher spiritual level for such

exceptional grace of God.

 

 

Swami answered this in the following way:

 

Suppose there is a talented person in running but he is running in the wrong

direction. In that case the talent is harming him more because by that

exceptional talent he is running fast and is going away from the goal in a very

short time. The person who is not talented is slowly walking. The absence of

talent in his case is very good because he is not far away from the goal even

after long time. Even a country for its welfare needs people with good character

who are not corrupt. Even though the talent is less the public will be really

benefited by non-corrupt officials even though they are less talented. The

public will not receive the benefits from the corrupt officials even though they

are more talented. Their talent is applied in their selfish growth. Ravana was a

great scholar with exceptional talents. But the world suffered due to him. A

devotee with good character and lesser talent will always be better to give good

results. God will bless him with exceptional talent

wherever and whenever it is needed. If the direction is towards God the

exceptional talent is definitely due to the grace of God. The talent without

divine knowledge results in destruction only at the end.
