Nama Article-13

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

1.Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Swamiji

 

We have fallen into this gutter of ‘samsãra’. It is

out of sheer compassion that the Guru’s lean down to

look at us. They tell us, " Oh! Child! You have fallen

into this gutter. Let me help you out of it! "

 

But, what does the man inside say?

 

He says, " Oh! Swami! You desire to lift me out. But,

what if you fall into it while trying to lift me out? "

 

 

This is because he is unable to develop faith in the

Guru.

 

The Mahan says, " Don't you think that I value my life?

If there were the risk of my falling down, would I

offer to lift you up? I have the tapas to lift lakhs

of such people. Do not worry on that account. "

Now, the man in the ditch while believing in the

strength of the Mahan begins to doubt the strength of

the rope that is being thrown down to hold for

climbing up.

The Mahan says, " Please look at the trademark of the

rope! One should fear only a new path. The path that

is being shown is Nama Sankirtan –

 

" HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE |

HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE "

 

It is by chanting only this that innumerable Mahans

attained the highest state. This is the path that was

followed by the Ãzhwãrs (the 12 ardent devotees of

Lord Vishnu), the Nãyanmãrs (the 63 ardent devotees of

Lord Siva), Thiagaraja Swami, Bodendral, etc.

Innumerable Panduranga Bhaktas have attained the Lord

through Nama japa and Nama kirtan. If I advocate a new

path it should instill fear in you. But, innumerable

Mahans have followed this. Therefore, hold on to it

tight. "

 

The man asks further, " Would you ask for 'dakshina'

(fee) once I come up? "

 

The Mahan says, " The satisfaction of having helped you

out will suffice. I need no other 'dakshina' other

than your coming out of this! "
