I have a doubt ....

[Guest guest]

Dear Brother,

 

Love and Love alone....

 

Let me confess sincerely and openly that I know NOTHING. It was just flow of

thoughts and I typed the reply as dictated by HIM, the Guru-mandali, and the

blessings of elderly and noble souls like you. Otherwise, you know very well,

what is my worth.

 

I have also seen the replies of other members, when I was in Mumbai, but I left

it there. As you are well aware, I do not react to such mails, as I do not wish

to get into arguments and counter-arguments. But, when I opened the same

question again, once I was back in Delhi, there was some inner-urge to respond

to it. So, I sent a simple reply to Sri Muralikrishna, but he countered my reply

with his pointed-arguments. So, I need to dig into the details to send a

detailed reply.

 

The basic truth is, as clearly explained to us in our scriptures, God is

omnipresent. The greart saint-bhakta, Prahlada says, God is everywhere

(indu-galadu andu-ledani sandeham valadu, Chakri sarvopagathandu) and forces the

Lord to adorn a peculiar rupa (Nara-simha) and come out of an inanimated object

like a pillar. Such is the greatness of our scriptures.

 

Likewise, we say, while doing puja, tad-brahma, tad-vayuhu, tad-atma,

tad-satyam, tad-sarvam, tad-puromnamaha, antarschariti bhooteshu, guhaayaam

viswa-moorthishu, twam yajnastwam, vashatkaarastagam, indramstam, rudrastwam,

vishnustwam, brahstwam, prajapatihi, twam apo, jyoti, rasomritam

brahma-bhoorswaraom ......

 

In this mantra, the one, who is seated in the guha (cave) of self is also

Viswarupa outside. Who is that? He is the same, who is in brahma, vayu, atma,

styam, indra, rudra, vishnu, brahma, prajapati, in water, in light, in taste,

and HE is the that Omkaram. Who is that? What is His address? Where does HE

stay? How to know HIM? What is the road-map to HIS abode? For all these

questions and many more of such questions, the only available answer is HE is

the indweller. HE is within us only. To trace HIM and to find HIM and be One

with HIM, we need to go within and there is no other way out.

 

So, all is HIS compassion and Kripa only. I know Nothing. Let me put everything

at HIS Lotus Feet and pray to HIM to bless us all with the Truth, so that we

imbibe it and be with HIM for ever.

 

Love and Love alone.....
