Nama Article-63

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

Excerpts from the discourse of Sri Sri Muralidhara

Swamiji

 

Earning Bhakti is rare ('durlabam') and earning Bhakti

without any intention behind it ('nishkãmya bhakti'),

is rarer. When Bhagavãn is highly pleased and asks us

what we need, instead of requesting this or that, ask

of Him, " Oh! Father! Give Thyself unto me. What else

do I need? "

 

A man sees a plantain tree. He finds a person using

its leaf as a plate to have his food. Another person

brings home the unripe plantain and cooks 'curry' out

of it. Another eats its fruit. Another cooks the

plantain flower for food. The stem is also cooked for

food. The fiber ('vãzha nãr') from its bark is used

for stringing flowers. This man realizes the

usefulness of the plantain tree. Hence, he plants one

in his own garden at home. The whole tree is useful in

various ways ('sarva proyojana vruksham').

 

A man goes to the temple and sheds tears, 'oh! Lord! I

need a job.' His prayer is answered. If one prays for

marriage it comes through. If a child is desired, a

child is born. If Bhagavãn, the 'Kamadhenu' (the

celestial cow) and 'Kalpaka vruksha' (the Divine

Tree), is brought home and a place offered (for Him)

in our heart ('hrudaya') we are blessed with

everything! Aren't we? There is no need to go about

seeking one after another but all our desires are

fulfilled!

 

By Chanting the Name of the Lord, He always resides in

our heart.
