Inspiring verses from Srimad Bhagavatam

[Guest guest]

Lord in his incarnation as Kapila gave these spiritual

instructions to His mother Devahuti at her request.

(Srimad Bhagavatam - 3.29.21-27)

 

" I am always present in all beings as their Self;

disregarding them, the mortal human being performs

elaborate worship of Me (only) in images.

 

Forsaking Me, the supreme Lord, existing in all beings

as their Self, whoever worships Me in the image

through utter foolishness , their worship is like

offering sacrificial ghee into the ashes (and not into

fire).

 

Hating Me, existing in another person's body, the

proud one who sees separateness (and not unity) and

who practices firm enmity towards other beings, will

never attain peace of mind.

 

I am not pleased, O sinless one, with the extravagant

ritual worship of Me in an image by those who use very

costly and ordinary ritual materials, but who insult

Me in all beings.

 

Let a person worship Me (the Lord existing in all

beings) in an image, discharging his or her family and

social duties and responsibilities, so long as he or

she does not realize Me existing in one's own heart.

 

Whoever makes the slightest difference between oneself

and others, such a one, who entertains the wrong idea

of separateness, will experience great fear in the

form of death.

 

Therefore worship Me in all beings - for I am the self

of all beings and have already made temples for Myself

in them - by dana (offering of money or goods to

remove their felt wants) and mana (showing due respect

to the recipient while doing so), and in an attitude

of friendliness and in a vision of non-separateness. "

 

- Taken from the book, 'Practical Vedanta and the

Science of Values' by Srimat Swami Ranganathanandaji

Maharaj.
