Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 A True Devotees Leg sand - Baba God is present everywhere. Perumal's name in Mannargudi is Rajagopan. He wears silks, and pyjama kurtha & keeps a stick (Koal). Azhwar talks about this stick "Kolla Maakoal". If you see it,truly it is "Kollum Maakoal" ( killing stick). When we tell is, when Krishna was sitting in a chariot in Mahabharatha. Lord Krishna keeps that stick and tells Arjuna, "See there, Drona is standing, see, Bheeshma is standing!". He was showing identity. That is, they are going to die. As though, Arjuna doesn't know that it is Drona & Bheeshma standing in the front. That is, they have been marked or listed for death. Krishna keeps the stick. That is what Azhwar has told "Kolla Maakoal"( not killing) . This is the true meaning of it. So, If God has to keep the "Killing stick"( Kollum Maakoal), to take you to the level of not killing you (Kollaa Maakoal), you have to keep your thoughts on GOD, you have to be like this:"Kaadhalaagi Kasindhu Kanneer Malgi Azhugira Maadhiri , Unnai Maatri Kolla Vendhum"- " You have to convert yourself to the state of melting & crying in your Love of God". God expects this state only from you. You cannot achieve God by anything. We do yagams, bathe in holy rivers. All this is true. You cannot achieve God in a short cut way. The only way is there. That is only TRUE LOVE. There is no other matter in this world, other than LOVE. One day, Krishna Paramaathma was in his room, He didn't come out even after a long time. So, Narada was curious and looked through the key hole into Krishna's room. Krishna was having a kind of Kunguma Simizh. ( small silver thing, to keep kungumam) & HE took something from it & kept it on his forehead. When Krishna came out, Narada said " Krishna,I'm Sorry that I saw you through the key hole, But you were secretly doing pooja with that Kungama simizh. Please do tell me without getting angry, what is there in it?" Krishna opened that Kunguma Simizh & showed the sand in it. " This is the sand ( leg dust) of the devotees who love me very truly" So,you know, who is most Dear to God? It is Devotees only.Krishna told one verse in Bhagavad Gita, "In this world, there is no one who has faith in Vasudevan with True Love! There are only a very few people! So, A God's stage is also the same. There is no respect for God, if there are no devotees. So, to make this understand, God has done so many lilas. Once, Krishna acted as though he had too much of headache. Everyone brought different types of medicines to Him, but Krishna acted as though He had very severe headache. So, Narada said "How to cure your headache?" So, Krishna said " If you bring the leg sand ( Kaal mann) of a devotee, who loves me Truly & if that is applied to my head, my headache will be cured" When Narada went to Rukmini & Sathyabhama & others, they said "Oh! MY God, Krishna is my Swamy, My God! How can I give my leg sand to Him!?Narada came and said to Krishna "Nobody is giving. They are saying that they have a lot of Bhakthi & respect for you" So, Krishna said "Okay, the Gopis of Brindavan in those times, told that they Truly loved me a lot. Try,going and asking them". So Narada went to Brindavan & asked the Gopis " Krishna is suffering from severe headache. To cure it, I need a little of your leg sand" Immediately, everyone of them, gave a little sand under their legs. Other people who were around them asked " Krishna is God! If you do this, You will get only Sins" So the Gopis said "Even if we get sins & even go to Hell, It is alright, If Krishna'headache becomes cured, that is enough for us. We cannot bear to see Krishna suffering with pain & we would give our Life for Him". The True level of Bhakthi is this only,this thought, even if they go to Hell, the only thought was to alleviate Krishna's pain.GOD expects this state only from you. If that Bhakthi comes to you. I will give you respect. You should have the "TRUE LOVE". You shoudl have that Gopika Bhavam. If you have such a kind of Love, then, you can get my Love. And in this world, there is nothing for you to get other than MY LOVE. "Anbe Sivamaanadhu, Arigilaar!"Anbe Sivamaai Amarndhirundhaarea!That's all, LOVE IS GOD. LOVE IS NOT DIFFERENT. SHIVA IS NOT DIFFERENT.I AM SHIVA. So, I am the Embodiment of LOVE. I AM KRISHNA. I am the Embodiment. If you have to reach me, the only obstacle for you not to reach me, is because you have still not got Love, with you. Those who all have Love, the reach me. "Indha Ulagathil, Ariyath Thaghuvadhu Naan, Adhayath Thaghvadhu Naan"A person was there who spoke the same words. His name was Krishna. Whatever his ways, his lilas, is what you are lighting lamps and reading it. A New Bhagavadham is happening in from of your eyes. I am doing & preaching an Open Spiritualism. All this is happening is Bhagavadham & this is the same Krishna Athma. This is the Shiva which has reached the top level of Love. This you have still not understood. LOVE IN ANY FORM! LOVE ALL THE TIME! LOVE EVERYONE! LOVE WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION! LOVE IS A FEELING & AN EMOTION & NOT THE ACTION.You can keep God in whatever relationship you like.
