Freed from Sorrow and Suffering

 

It is customary that whatever belongs to us, that appears ever sweet and loving

to us. Bhagwaan considers all beings as His loved ones.

 

" Sab mama priya sab mama upajaaye " (Manas 7/86/2) and these embodied souls

(Jeev) also find Prabhu (God, Bhagwaan) to be naturally loving. Yes, it is a

different story that this Jeev has erroneously taken this changing world and

body to be it's very own and has become distant from the loving Prabhu (God).

Although this Jeev has distant itself, yet Bhagwaan from his side has never

given up any Jeev and can never ever give them up. Because this Jeev is

veritably a part (ansh) of Bhagwaan. Therefore that feeling of oneness, the

feelings of kinship or intimacy, (aatmeeyataah) , is naturally and innately

existing, continuously (akshoon), in an undivided manner. In this manner,

Bhagwan showers His grace on all beings, i.e. protects His devotees and destroys

the evil doers, and established righteousness (Dharma). For these three things,

time and again Bhagwaan manifests in the form of an Avataar (physical

manifestation of Bhagwaan). In all these three points it is only Bhagwaan's

inner feeling of intimacy and kinship that is flowing. What else could be the

motive that is being accomplished with these three - the protection of the

devotees, the destruction of the evil doers and for the establishment of

dharma?. In other words, not a single motive is being accomplished. Bhagwaan is

doing all three of these things, only for the Salvation of all Beings. The only

thing that is proven by this is Bhagwaan's natural intimacy, kinship,

compassion, lovingness, well-wishes, good-heartedness, and impartial generosity.

It is only with this view that He tells Arjuna - " Madbhakto bhav, manmanaa bhav,

madhyaajee bhav, maam namaskuru " . In all these four verses, Bhagwaan's aim for

Jeev (embodied souls) is only to get them to come

towards Him, by which all beings can turn away from the unreal objects. Because

the main cause of all sorrow, all suffering, the unending birth and death cycle,

and all adversities is turning away from Bhagwaan (God).

 

Whatever is ordained by Bhagwaan, it is for the benefit of all of mankind -If

all beings fix their sight on this grace, then for them what else will remain to

get done? In Bhagwaan's heart there is extreme restlessness and eagerness to see

to the spiritual upliftment of all beings. For this reason Bhagwaan reveals the

highest secret " Sarvadhamaanparity ajya maamekam sharanam vraj " , because

Bhagwaan considers all beings as His friend - " suhrdam sarvabhootaanaam " (Gita

5/29) and He gives them the freedom that from all the various spiritual

disciplines that are there - Karmayog, gyaanyog, bhaktiyog, etc., with any one

spiritual discipline, man can easily attain Me and can be freed from sorrow,

suffering etc. Once and for all he can eradicate these (sorrow etc,) from the

root.
