Let birth take place in any form, be it human, divine, an animal in the

mountain or forest, mosquito, a worm or bird etc. How does the form matter

so far as the mind is engaged in meditation of the Lotus feet of God and

takes the pleasure of the flood of supreme bliss.

" karmana badhyathE janthu: "

 

All praanis take their janma according to their poorva karmas. There is no

guarantee that one can always take a human janma. Neither can anyone perform

karmas with a view to ensuring a human janma as it is the prerogative of

Easwara who ordains the kind of birth one should take based on the karmas

performed in one or more previous janmaas. And attaining MOksha also is not

dependent on what janma one has, that is, MOksha padhavi is attained by

Eawara Anugraham and Guru Krupa irrespective of the fact one has a nara

janma or otherwise. Whatever janma one has, it is possible to attain MOksha

if the mind has its layam at the lotus feet of Parameswara.

 

It is clear to me that I have to exhaust my karmaphalas and I cannot say for

sure that the karmaphalas would be exhausted in this birth. There is no

guarantee that I would be taking human births in future. Therefore, O

Parameswara! in every janma that I may take in the future whether it be a

human or an animal or a mosquito or a worm, in all of these, what I am

begging of you, is that my mind should always be thinking of your lotus

feet. What difference would it make if I am born a human or otherwise if my

mind has its layam in you? Did not Jadabharatha Swamy who because of his

praarabdha karmaa was born as a deer yet because him mind was poised at thy

feet, O Bhagavan, that he attained MOksha? Did not the Pandya Raja

Indradhumnan who due to a curse from sage Agasthya was born as an elephant

yet because he did constant smaranam of Bhagavaan that he attained MOksha?

Did not Bhagavan Ramana give MOksham to a cow, a dog and a crow whose

samaadhis are to be found in Sri Ramanaasramam? I therefore pray to you O

Paramasiva, that wheatever birth I may take in future, please, please ensure

that I constantly remember you.

 

Aum Namasivaya!
