Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Dear All, Millions of people can be seen daily performing prayers and rituals. They also feel that they are performing *upasana*. Several other men also believe and regard them as *upasaka*. But this *upasana *of theirs never succeeds in providing the desired results. Neither do they attain any greatness nor any spiritual peace. Even after their prayers and rituals they speak lies, display cunningness, remain enslaved in anger, greed and attachment, and as a result they neither attain mental calmness nor any spiritual contentment. As they are, they continue to suffer from grief, unhappiness, torture, pain, doubts, dearth and discontentment. They continue to remain sick with worldly passions and thralldoms as always. The divine qualities of the Supreme Soul that are commonly denoted by the names of love, brotherhood, mercy, dearness, bliss and peace etc are not found in them. Despite thinking (and talking about) of the Almighty hundreds of times these people remain blank like the trunk of a barren tree; neither new leaflets bloom, nor any blossoming flowers occurs in them. It is an absolute truth that by performing *up³san³*of the Supreme Soul the noble virtues of God get transferred into the individual self, there is no denying this fact. A person who is seen to perform *up³san³ *but no signs of refinement towards greatness are visible in him then any wise man can undoubtedly proclaim that the *up³san³ *of this fellow is not a true *up³san³ *but merely a ritual, a show off, an ostentation, a mockery…. .... To Be Coninued .... Author : Pt Shriram Sharma Acharya Source : www.awgp.org www.awgpsouth.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
