Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 February 26, 2009 Blessings in a limitless fashion are upon all God's children at all times. When 2 are united with Divine Love greater blessings shall fall upon them and their offspring. It is vital to seek out His council prior to embarking on the vocation of marriage. This blessed union is always for His Glory as 2 become 1 flesh as a perfect display of His Love and Divinity that pulsates between the 2. As a couple your purpose is His Divine Plan for your lives. Such that you shall seek out His council when forming your marraige vows. Marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman and each couple must become humble, patient, loving, kind and generous with each other and others. Thusly their Loving Light shall flood their lifepath together. Setting the tone for how we are to function on earth, thusly wars shall cease and peace shall reign on the hearts of all mankind. Blessings abound with Loving Light, Clare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Sairam, brother sudhir kumar.Baba always says, "Be in the world and do not let the world be in you".You must be aware of his famous quote, "Keep heads in the forest and hands in the society". When a person is beset by attachment to some and hatred towards others even in the solitude of the jungle, he will meet only evil. Even if one is leading the grihastha life in the midst of the family, if he has achieved victory over the senses he is a real thapasvi. Engaged in karma that is not condemned, he is entitled to become a Jnani. [source:Prashanthi Vahini, p46.] The grihastha too attains moksha; only he must follow strictly the dharma laid down for his ashrama. There is no doubt that every one, to whichever ashrama he may belong, who adheres to the dharma of that ashrama, will attain moksha. [source:Dharma Vahini, p46.] Being married and living with the wife and children does not constitute grihastha ashrama as most people think. Without giving up the duties assigned to one's caste and status, the person has to treat all with equal consideration - kinsmen as well as others. He must be aware of the rights of the elders and the obligations of juniors; he has to be full of sympathy and willingness to help; he should treat with loving kindness all those who are dependent on him; he must grow wiser with each new experience of the world; he should acquaint himself with the sastras and be alert to do dharma and avoid adharma; he must foster and protect his wife and children with a sense of responsibility; he has to trample down the eight egoisms, the conceit that develops from family, wealth, character, personal beauty, youth, scholarship, native place and even accomplishments in austerity. Conscious of the four goals of dharma, artha, kama and moksha, with no pride in material possessions though he might have them in large measure; utilising a portion of the day in the service of others; with no designs against any other household, himself deserving the trust of his wife and having a trusted wife, each understanding the other and having full faith in the other; such are the ways in which the grihastha manifests. [source:Prashanti Vahini, p10.] If hindrances come, dedicate them too to the Lord, take them quietly as His leela and as His plan; that is the way to follow the grihastha discipline, the path for both men and women. [source:Dharma Vahini, p50.] Love your wife and children and do your duty towards them as a husband and a father. But always hold on to the true values. Do not lose your sense of proportion. [source:Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol X, p216.] If there is the will and strength to adhere strictly to dharma, if there are no difficulties in acquiring jnana, one can, without entering sanyaasa ashrama, remain as a householder and yet be liberated. [source:Dharma Vahini, p49.] He who earns money by lawful means, he who honours his guests, who serves and pleases his fellowmen, attains liberation along with those learned in the sastras and those who are well established in the fundamental philosophy of the spirit. No one can cross the ocean of birth and death because he is a sanyasi or brahmachari. High ancestry, attainments in asceticism, the status of a monk, profound scholarship - nothing will help, by itself. There must also be the faithful and steady pursuit of swadharma, the study of the scriptures, like the Veda or the Bhagavad Gita, and a disciplined spiritual life of japam and dhyanam. [source:Prashanti Vahini, p44.] Keep heads in the forest and hands in the society Do deeds that are holy and beneficial, untarnished by ego and the greed to benefit. Start on the sacred pilgrimage to the Divine Goal.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I have no doubt that Bhagvan Sri Sathya Sai was Lord Sri Krishna in Thretha yuga. While expounding Bhagavat Gita to Arjuna, Lord Sri.Krishna never denounced Grahsthasrama. The essence of Lord's teaching was to perform all acts without attaching ourselves to the fruits thereof. Take what comes with a brave heart and leave everything at the feet of the lord. If such a bhava is adopted in performace of every act then all actions become divine and we will never get attached to the results thereof. Bhagvan Sri Sathya Sai also had given the same explanation in his Gita Vahini. Marriage is one's wish at a particular point of time. It is not an impediement to working out one's salvation. With regwrds, S JAYANTH gobindsharma2005 <gobindsharma2005 Sent: Sunday, 1 March, 2009 12:53:52 PM Re: Marriage - Open Query Offcourse marriage is important. This does not entangle you but makes you a wiser person.
