Baba's Speech - excerpts from Samratchana Monthly magazine-Jul/99.

 

BABA SPEAKS ....................LEARN TO LOVE:

 

The World is filled with Happiness. The moon, the sun, the stars, the tender

breeze,birds, running brooks,reptiles,animals-everything in the world breathes

of the music of happiness. But you are able to see anything but Misery. I AM

ABLE TO SEE ONLY HAPPINESS. THAT IS WHY I AM ALWAYS HAPPY.

 

The world remains the same. Only Perceptions differ. I HAVE REALISED MY SELF.I

HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WORLD IS AN ILLUSION. SO I HAVE ACHIEVED BLISS.

BELEIVING THIS WORLD TO BE TRUE, YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR WATER IN THE MIRAGE.SO IT

IS ELUDING YOU.

 

REALIZE THAT THE PARAMATHMAA IS THE ONLY TRUTH.YOU SHOULD AIM TO ACHIEVE THAT.

THE ONLY WAY TO REACH HIM IS FULL FLEDGED DEVOTION. AND THIS DEVOTION WILL NOT

COST YOU ANYTHING. DONT ASSUME THAT MANTRAS, TANTRAS, & JAPAS ARE THE ONLY WAY

TO REACH GOD. NOTHING LIKE THAT.

 

YOU CAN EMBRACE GOD WITH THE INNOCENT LOVE THAT A CHILD SHOWS TOWARDS ITS

PARENTS. YOU LOVE BEING LOVED, DON'T YOU??? SO ALSO, GOD LOVES TO HEAR THE

EXRESSIONS OF YOUR LOVE FOR HIM. HE CARES FOR YOU MUCH MORE THAN YOUR WORDLY

PARENTS CAN CARE FOR YOU. THAT OCEAN OF MERCY DOES NOT EXPECT ANYTHING ,BUT

WHOLESOME LOVE FROM YOU.IF YOU SHOW THAT LOVE, YOU CAN ATTAIN HIM.

 

ARJUNA did penance for obtaining Paasupathaastra from SHIVA. SHIVA appeared as

a hunter and ARJUNA beat HIM with His bow, Not realising that too, with a SMILE.

 

KANNAPPA NAYANAR SAW THE BLOOD FLOWING FROM SHIVA LINGA'S EYES. HE VIEWED THE

LINGA AS CONTAINING THE REAL LIFE FORM OF SHIVA. SO HE PULLED OUT HIS OWN EYE

AND TRIED TO FIX IT ON THE LINGA, USING HIS SLIPPERED FOOT ON THE LINGA AS A

REFERENCE. OBVIOUSLY, GOD WAS THRILLED!!

 

" IN A WORLD FILLED IN A WORLD FILLED WITH PEOPLE PRETENDING TO PAY RESPECTS TO

GOD FORMS IN STONES & CALENDARS. " KANNAPPAN SAW GOD IN THE LINGA AND GAVE

HIMSELF UPTO HIM.

 

THE UNDAUNTED LOVE OF ANDAL FOR LORD KRISHNA,BECOME ONE WITH THE LORD & MERGING

WITH THE PARAMATHMA.

 

EXPRESS TO GOD WITHOUT ANY INHIBITIONS.DECLARE YOUR LOVE FOR HIM IN EVERY

THOUGHT, WORD AND ACTION OF YOURS. WHEN YOU REALLY CRY IN DESPERATION FOR GOD,

WHEN YOU TELL HEM " I WILL NOT MOVE FROM THIS PLACE TILL I GET YOUR DARSHAN " HE

WILL COME RUNNING TO YOU "
