Nama Article-19

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara

Swamiji

 

We pass through many births and to obtain human birth

is rare indeed. It is rare still to be born a normal

human being without any physical or mental defect.

But, we waste this birth without using it for the

purpose it is meant for. We may think, " In this janma

I have not seen Bhagavaan; I have not done japa,

dhyana, yoga or even a 'punya kaarya' but I will try

to all these in my next birth! But, this cannot be.

When we go to sleep at night and wake up the next

morning we are the same personality that we were when

we went to bed. Our quality, good and bad does not

change during sleep. Sleep is only 'mano laya' (the

mind rests). In sleep the 'manas' rests and the

'vasanas' are just lying low. They have not been

destroyed. In the morning when the 'manas' wakes up

all the 'vasanas' come up again.

 

Similarly, death is only a long sleep and it does not

change the person's 'gunaas' (qualities).

 

Valluvar says,

 

உறஙà¯à®•à¯ வதà¯à®ªà¯‹à®²à¯à®žà¯

சாகà¯à®•à®¾à®Ÿà¯ உறஙà¯à®•à®¿

விழிபà¯à®ªà®¤à¯ போலà¯à®®à¯

பிறபà¯à®ªà¯.

 

" Uranguvathu polum saakaadu; urangi vizhippadu polum

pirappu'

 

Death is akin to sleep and birth is akin to waking up.

Sleep is for a night and death is a long sleep in

another world for some years.

 

When Bhagavan decides a janma to be the very last one,

the man attains a Sadguru.

 

Don't loose the " present " moment, the gift of lord,

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :
