SWAMI'S DISCOURSE...

[Guest guest]

Mamaivamsho Jeeva Loke Jeeva Bhootha Sanatanaha.

 

God is one and everything and everyone are reflections of God. Rama,

Krishna, Allah, Jesus - all these are only names of the same God. To

know this Truth is more important than doing all sadhana, charity,

etc. Follow this Truth and victory is certain. " Ekam Sath Viprah

Bahuda Vadanti. " The Truth is one alone.

 

All the rest will pass away like clouds. And anything done with the

changeless Truth in heart, becomes Dharma.

 

Nowadays, the times are such that we notice a new trend. Boys falling

in love with boys and girls falling in love with girls. They live and

behave like husband and wives. But how long is this? Maybe one or two

years. Later all change. It is only for temporary satisfaction of the

senses. When you love anyone, know that you are loving God. But that

love is not permanent. It will change. True Love is changeless. The

moment body is gone, who is related to whom? The body has senses and

it is bound to fall. It is never permanent. But the Dehi, indweller,

is permanent. The indweller has no birth or end; no bondage or

liberation.

 

Today is the day to begin a new life...

 

This Dehi is Sathya Swaroopa. While leaving the body at Shirdi, Baba

said, " Do not take this body as the basis. It will be gone. And then,

none should cry. It is but natural that it will perish. Experience it

as long as it lasts and then remember, it was only a dream. " After

Baba left His mortal coil, the body was kept for three days with the

hope that He may come back. It was Abdul Khan who reminded, " Let us

all remember what Baba told us. " It was then that the body was

taken from Chaavadi to the Samadhi. Remember, the body has its

limitations. Each day, we are moving closer to the end of the body.

So keep love as the most important and fill your hearts with the

Truth. Follow Dharma. These are the coins given by Baba. Sathya and

Dharma are the most important. Keep them with you day and night - in

all the three worlds and the three periods of time.

 

It is no use to just verbalise all this. It is most important to

work. No use speaking with the mouth, speak with your heart. Then

alone will all this get imprinted. Lakshmibai's daughter asked her

for the coins but she said, " It has to go back to the giver. " All the

activities that are done are only to sanctify time. But if you want

to sanctify your life, you have to follow these two - Sathya and

Dharma. Remember that you are all sparks of God. No other sadhana is

as important as following these. Turning beads without transforming

the mind is of no use. Whatever you say or do, base it on Truth.

Discourses and the study of scriptures are only for Kaala Sarthakam

(sanctifying time). For Janma Saarthakam (Life's fulfillment) develop

a relationship with God. God's Love will never change. It is

permanent. Develop that. Do not have any differences. Do not

differentiate based on religion. All the different names and forms

belong to the same God.

 

The Matham (religion) is never bad. It is the Mathi (mind) that makes

all the confusion and negative. Matham is that which purifies the

Mathi. Very soon the whole country is going to be united. All will

live as brothers and sisters for that is the Truth. Swami often

tells, " Lead your life with Sathya and Dharma "

(Swami then sang the song Sathya Dharmamu Santhi Premalatho). That's

all that needs to be done. The Vijayadashami day is one to begin a

new life. Swami concluded His discourse with the song " Bhaja

Govindam " . He then settled in the chair and asked for bhajans to be

sung. Two bhajans were sung after which Swami received Aarthi and

left the Kulwant Hall.
