Guru Tattva - An Inner Essence- Part 1 By Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji.

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

“God is spoken as the greatest ‘tattva’ (philosophy).

Mahatmas say that the highest ‘tattva’ is God. But,

there is one that is greater than even God and that is

‘Guru tattva’!

 

We should get into a Satsang. We are very concerned

about our physical health and do various kinds of

exercises, take medicines, do yogaabhyas to keep it

sturdy and fit. We also try to maintain its beauty.

But, we do not do anything about maintaining mental

health. Just as there are exercises to keep the body

fit, an exercise is needed to keep the ‘mind’ healthy.

But in today’s condition majority of the people do not

think about improving or maintaining our

mental/spiritual health. If we fail to keep our ‘mind’

healthy, it will lead to ‘mental illness’. Just as the

health of the body is affected, mental health is also

affected. This is called ‘mano vyaadi’. Ayurveda

School of medicine bifurcates diseases as ‘Aadi’ to

mental sickness and ‘Vyaadi’ to physical sickness.

 

What is the exercise that has to be undertaken for the

‘mind’? It is worship of God. While bringing up a

child we are very concerned about his/her physical

health but never about the mental moulding. We should

provide the child a Satsang (company of a Sadhu). We

fail to do this and regret later. The child grows up

into a physically healthy adult, is well educated and

well employed well but his ‘mind’ is unhealthy. It is

filled with all ‘vikaaraas’ (unhealthful

thoughts/desires). His habits worry the parents. The

reason for this is that we have failed to teach mental

exercise needed to keep it healthy.

We pass through many births and to obtain human birth

is rare indeed. It is rare still to be born a normal

human being without any physical or mental defect.

But, we waste this birth without using it for the

purpose it is meant for. We may think, “In this janma

I have not seen Bhagavaan; I have not done japa,

dhyana, yoga or even a ‘punya kaarya’ but I will try

to all these in my next birth!” But, this cannot be.

When we go to sleep at night and wake up the next

morning we are the same personality that we were when

we went to bed. Our quality, good and bad does not

change. Sleep is only a rest to Mind. In sleep the

‘mind’ rests and the ‘vasanas’ (Latent tendencies) are

just lying low. They have not been destroyed. In the

morning when the ‘mind’ wakes up all the ‘vasanas’

come up again. Similarly, death is only a long sleep

and it does not change the person’s ‘gunaas’

(qualities).

 

!!! Will Continue !!!
