Guest guest Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Radhe Krishna To All, Drawn by the kindly, affectionate treatment of the Master the young man visits him regularly. One day the Guru points out to the young man, 'Oh, my son! Time is passing by. You have lots of relatives and friends. You possess good health. You are intelligent and capable. You earn quite a lot and are leading a comfortable life. But have you not thought of the day that every one has to face? Everybody who has taken birth in this world has to face that day - that final day. And, on that day none of these - the relatives and friends, the good physique, the wealth, the intelligence - would help you. You would realize this at that final hour. It would then be too late. Should you not give a thought to it now? " The young man asks at once, " Oh, Gurudev! What should I do? Please show me the way. What is the qualification required to tread on the path that you would show? " The kind Master says, " My son! I will show you the way. To walk on this path one needs only one qualification. " The young man asks anxiously, " What is it Gurudev? " The Guru, " Nothing! 'You should have no qualification whatsoever' is the qualification! " The young man exclaims, " Gurudev! " The Guru, " Yes, son. 'Incapability is the qualification! You should realize that you are incapable (of treading any spiritual path). AND, THAT IS THE ONLY QUALIFICATION REQUIRED. If you feel that you are capable of practicing this or that path then you do not qualify for this path that I am going to show you. " The young man, " Gurudev! Please show me the path that you speak of. " The Guru, " HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE! HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE! " this is the way, my son! Chant this Divine Maha Mantra that has been advocated by our Shãstras. It is the easiest way to attain the Supreme Lord. Just chant this always. You can chant this anywhere and any time. " Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan : Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare ----------------------- If you have any questions or doubts concerning Spirituality, Mental peace or problems in life or about dharma, please write to us by clicking here: http://www.namadwaar.org/answers/askquestion.php His Holiness Sri Sri Swamiji personally answers these questions for you and suggests prayers. --------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
