Never attribute names and Forms to the Divine Lord - Swami

[Guest guest]

If you attribute various names and forms to God, you will not be able to realise the Truth. Names and forms are subject to change. Who was Rama? He was the son of Dasaratha. Who was Krishna? He was the son of Yashoda. You will then remember only their physical relationships. When you worship God without attributing any particular name and form, then any physical relationship does not arise. There will be no differences whatsoever. You might ask as to Who is the mother of God? He is the mother of all. Everywhere we find Differences because we attribute various names and forms and physical relationships to God. You should get rid of such relationships. Isavasyam Idam Jagat (the entire world is permeated by God). Easwara Sarva Bhutanam (God is the Indweller of all beings). When you contemplate on these twin principles Only then can one visualise unity in humanity. There will be intimate relationship between man and man. When you think of

Divinity, you will not have any differences or difficulties. Difficulties come and go like passing clouds. You don't need to worry about them. Keep your vision fixed on the sun. Sometimes, clouds cover the sun. Then you don't need to be worried about it. Have patience. When the clouds move away, the sun will be visible again. In the same manner, the clouds of worldly delusions come in the way of seeing the Divine Lord. In such situations never ever let your mind waver. Have patience. The 'clouds' will recede and the 'sun' will reappear. - From Swami's Vinayaka Chathruthi Discourse in 1987, Prasanthi Nilayam.
