Guest guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 OM SAI RAM HUMBLE PRANAMS AT THE LOTUS FEET OF BHAGAWAN. Yes dear Saibandhu sri Soumendra Bhattacharjee, Devotees and Students are close to SWAMI undoubtedly due to the past very good karmas and also continuing it in this janma with the Intense yearning, sincere Devotion and surrender. i remember having read in a article that when SWAMI was in Kodaikanal with some most fortunate students, one elderly Devotee asked SWAMI as a result of how many previous janma's accumulated good karmas that the students were able to live in the Divine Proximity of BHAGAWAN? Smilingly SWAMI answered " At least a hundred previous births and also future births are accounted for this proximity " !!!. We, who do not have the Physical proximity of SWAMI can install SWAMI in our hearts and feel the Divine Presence and BLISS permanently by worshipping there . Even those Devotees and students who are very fortunate to be in the close physical proximity of SWAMI also install SWAMI in their hearts and worship to get SWAMI'S Permanent BLISS. This is because even with such easy proximity of BHAGAWAN there are many hours in a day where BHAGAWAN'S physical DARSHAN may not be possible. How to bear this seperation? Only way is to install SWAMI in their heart permanently which they do. Similarly,though physical proximity is not possible for us, we should install SWAMI in our heart permanently. Definitely SWAMI gives DARSHAN there in the hearts. As an anlogue, let us take a sweet. It has a Form and inherent Taste. From physical eyes we can see the form, but to experience the taste of the sweet we should take the sweet in. The form of the sweet melts inside and becomes formless when we chew it and we experience the delight of the inherent taste of the sweet. Similarly, SWAMI has a FORM and inherent BLISS ( BRAHMANANDA). From eyes we can enjoy the Loving Form of SWAMI. To experience SWAMIS BLISS we should feel SWAMI'S Form inside us. This Form melts and becomes FORMLESS in us when we do the SADHANA of chewing and we experience the BLISS ( BRAHMANANDA). This means the Form has to become Formless to fully experience the delight/BLISS. Therefore SWAMI always preaches us to install HIS FORM in our Heart and do the SADHANA of Chewing, so that we can Experience SWAMI'S BLISS. To Realize SWAMI, both Form and Formlessness ( Initially Form and finally Formlessness ) are required. When we are in the Proximity of SWAMI, is like seeing the Sweet. We donot want loose the Form of SWAMI ( we want to keep always with us the sweet without taking in ). SWAMI preaches do not have the habit of always keeping HIS FORM ( the sweet) , rather install in the Hearts, do SADHANA ( chewing) so that HIS FORM becomes FORMLESS BRAHMAN and experience the BLISS OF BRAHMANANDA ( experience the taste of the sweet ) When we are not in the proximity of SWAMI ( the sweet is not with us outside ), we are compelled to install the FORM OF SWAMI in our Hearts ( the sweet is in the mouth ), and by doing SADHANA we experience the BLISS OF BRAHMANANDA OF SWAMI. ( when the sweet is inside the mouth, easily it melts and we experience its taste ). Therefore, my Dear Saibandhu sri Soumendra Bhattacharjee, without getting disappointment and without waiting for the PREMA SAI AVATAR ( by not post-poning our Sadhana) , let us Strongly INSTALL SWAMI IN OUR HEARTS and do SADHANA so that the LORD can Grant us EVERYTHING.
