Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Dear Members, God never promised to take on the life's burden of those, who spend a few minutes in Japam, apply sandal paste on their forehead, wear a tulasi mala, but spend their time in vain, watching movies or watching television, going around the neighborhood to gossip on his half baked knowledge on spirituality, eating wantonly and spending the major part of the day sleeping, in short leading a vain life of laziness. So if you misunderstand spirituality you shall become lazy and useless! .Don’t get fooled by miracles and other wonderful happenings we see in this world. They are temporal. If you see the life sketches of various saints, we see that they had cured the maladies of many; dissolved the difficulties of many. This is indeed true. But there is a flip side in their life stories too. Don't we see that many of their close devotees faced a lot of difficulties? Materialistic devotion without the philosophical base is useless. So we should know the underlying idea and philosophy when we do Bhakthi. I feel that instead of having a big crowd of empty devotees, if I can make a dozen people divine, the latter is far superior to the former. I am organizing a lot many things like Utsavams, mission for protection of Vedas etc. But if I can make a person chant the name of Hari, I consider this a bigger achievement than the former. I have taken a vow that I shall do good to all and even to those who do evil to me. I also like you all to be likewise . All those who are associated with this Sath Sangam should lead the life of Dharma; should do Naama Japam and Naama Sankirtanam every day; should be ever helpful to one and all; should be disciplined and in control always. If you can live this way, the Lord shall do all that is required for you. I am not asking you to do giant tasks, but all I ask of you is, let the task be small, but do this with love and sincerity. Heaven is not anywhere above us, if we know how to live, and live in that manner, this very world becomes a paradise; otherwise this world becomes a hell too. If there is no life after physical death, we can lead a wanton life. But there is life after death, and unless we lead a life which is acceptable to our Lord, we can never reach the lotus feet of Hari. If each and everyone of you pledge to lead such a life, only this is the true Sath Sangam. GOPIKA JEEVANASMARANAM! GOVINDA!
