Rama Avatar- a Perfect Incarnation – by Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji Part-9

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

In our life we plan and decide that it would move in a

particular way. But what happens? We plan something

but it fails. If everything were to occur as we wish -

be it education, marriage or in matters of begetting

children - then what is the work of God in the scheme

of things? What need is there for a God? If things

were to move as per our whims and fancies only, then

what is the part played by God or fate (‘vidi’)? Then

it is you who are verily the God! But the fact is even

Mahans’ lives do not move as per their desire. So, we

can understand from this that there is a ‘Shakti’

(power) that conducts the world/our lives. If the

‘sankalapa’ of this Shakti and our desire happen to be

one and the same then we say, “whatever I wish for is

fulfilled”. We deem that we are able to conduct our

life as we plan! But when the two differ - our

plan/desire is one but what occurs is totally

different - we then say, “Whatever I wish for never

comes through!” Therefore, the cause of the conduct of

our lives is that ‘Shakti’. Nothing can be done with

the mere effort of man (‘manushya yatna’). Both

‘anumãna’ and ‘pratyaksha’ have proved false. So, why

then should I believe the words of Mahans? One has to

accept the words of the Mahans because they are

hundred times, thousand times - no, crores of times

powerful (‘prabhavasali’) than you are. You are

an‘ashakta’ (powerless). Hence, you have to accept

their words. How are these Mahatmas? They are very

powerful, indeed (‘Maha prabhavasaliis’). In Kali

yuga, ‘Prayenalpayusha sabhya Kalavasmin yuge janah

mandah sumandamatayo mandabhagya hyupadrutah’. None of

us live beyond 70 years. But what about these Mahans?

“Dasa varusha sahasrani” - Dasarata lived for 60,000

years! In those days people have enjoyed such long

span of life. Now people are small made and life is

very short. And even in this short span of life, man

suffers innumerable diseases including mental sickness

(‘manovyakoola’) - ‘adi’ and ‘vyadi’. In Kali, people

lead such a life.

 

How did the people who lived for 60,000 years in those

days lead their lives? All of them led a life of a

‘tapasvi’. Their glory was great indeed (‘maha

prabhavasaliis’). Further, they were not self-centered

(‘swartha’). They gain nothing by their ‘upadesa’

(advice) to you. It is you who stand to gain if their

words are adhered to. This is the reason that we

should take the words of such great Mahans as

‘pramana’ and not our reasoning.
