Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Q.186) My wife Smt. Devi was pressing me since long to ask you regarding the measures to be taken by us to send out our daughter who is one and half years old now, in the work of the Lord and that the child must walk out like Adi Sankaracharya. Should we leave this task to the Lord Himself (from Nikhil, Flourida, USA)? Ans.) I am shocked by this question. Swami did not see such devotee in the creation so far. Swami has seen the parents to obstruct their children when they walk out for God’s work. Swami has seen very few devotees who do not have any objection if their children walk out in God’s work. But here are the wonderful parents who want to throw out their only daughter for the work of the Lord. Swami is more astonished to note that this wish arose in the heart of a mother. Mother has the strongest bond with the child since the child was in her womb for a long time. The Gender-bond (Linga Abhimana) is also not working in her case, which is common in this world. Thus she is the best of all the devotees and she is your half. Thus she alone deserves to be called as the best half. Praising her is equal to praising yourself. When your half is praised, you are also praised. This is the appreciation coming from the deep heart of Swami. Due to such infinite real love on God only, you both are working so much for the mission of God in developing the web-site to propagate this infinite real knowledge of the Lord. Even the mother of Sankara obstructed her son to go for the work of the Lord. Finally some how she agreed and gave her no objection certificate to Sankara, when the crocodile drama was conducted. She never encouraged Sankara to go out for the divine work. Smt. Devi excels even the mother of Sankara because she is encouraging her child to go for the spiritual work. Swami has seen children who walk out like Sankara but never saw any mother who encourages her child to do so. Your wife is not in the place of the mother of Sankara but she is in the place of Sankara. Swami feels that you are the luckiest devotee in this creation to have such a soul associated with you. There is a saying, which states that there is a lady behind the success of every man. This holds good even in the spiritual success. You put all your efforts on the child because she is in constant association with you. Your effort is external atmosphere, which is also essential. Swami will create the internal atmosphere in her mind, which is the main requirement. Thus both the efforts are necessary and your effort will reduce the burden of Swami. Both Krishna and Arjuna were necessary in the war. The effort of Swami is real and final. Even if the external atmosphere is opposite, Swami develops the soul internally. Prahlada was an example of such case. ______________________ Messenger - Communicate instantly... " Ping " your friends today!
