Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Shankaram Siva Shankaram One person whom I was acquainted with, had received the Ambal's mantra from Pudukottai Swamigal. Once he chanced to meet me at Mangattu Amman temple and said that despite chanting the mantra three crore times, he had not received any spiritual experience till then. He had just been counting numbers and had not actually immersed himself in the mantra. God is not a number. He is our Nanbar (Friend). How can a person who keeps count of numbers have the divine vision of the Goddess? Either you merge with the mantra and through that with God, or keep counting numbers like a kindergarten child. Only one of the above things is possible in a given time. Those who keep count of numbers cannot melt into oneness with the Divine. They can utmost become an expert in numbers, numerology or become computer wizards or some such but would never be able to receive the vision of God. "It is the mark of primitive culture to imagine that simplicity is barbarian and complexity is highly advanced.The greatest complexity is the greatest simplicity. Indeed it is utterly elegant in its simplicity. The Master understands this. Highly evolved systems of governance, for instance, involve virtually no governance at all, save self governance. That is why a highly evolved being lives in simplicity". "God's greatest gift is the sharing of God's power" "Believe in the goodness of God and believe in the goodness of God's creation" "Absolute power demands absolutely nothing" "God is everything and God becomes everything. There is nothing which God is not, and all that God is experiencing of Itself, God is experiencing in, as, and through you" "In my purest form I am the Absolute. I am absolutely everything and therefore I need, want and demand absolutely nothing". "You and I are one ,both now and even forever more" Be a bringer of the Light You are That So be It. Siva Shankar Baba knows this Cosmic Secret. He has won the favours of Muruga, who has led him to Shakthi and through her, Siva. And now God is my Friend and He looks upon me as His Friend. What else is there to seek of life? Whatever I am today, is thanks to Muruga’s Compassionate Grace and I am very grateful to Him. If you understand this, you will know why it is important to sing Muruga’s praises and seek His Grace to mellow your heart into a crimson pink Lotus that can serve as His throne. In the year 1986 at Palani Hills, Lord Skanda appeared in his princely form before Siva Shankar (Baba) and instructed him to carry out the mission of uplifting humanity to the ultimate truth - God. Lord Skanda gave Siva Shankar three instructions: 1. No need to don the robes of a Sanyasi. 2. Do not seek to accept anything in return for the services you render to people. 3. Continue to lead a family life and live with the family until your duties are done. Learn to love God directly as the one worth loving. If your love is sincere, then concentrate on knowing everyone as a form of God you love. But never develop attachment. That will turn into a source of annoyance for you. You will miss this world during the time you spend on someone, because attachment has limitations. Loving God will never leave you depressed, because only God is a Limitless Phenomenon." Do you need Me ? I am there. You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by. You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice. You cannot feel Me, yet I am the power at work in your hands. I am at work, though you do not understand My ways. I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries. Only in absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me as I AM, and then but as a feeling and a faith. Yet I am here. Yet I hear. Yet I answer. When you need ME, I am there. Even if you deny Me, I am there. Even when you feel most alone, I am there. Even in your fears, I am there. Even in your pain, I am there. I am there when you pray and when you do not pray. I am in you, and you are in Me. Only in your mind can you feel separate from Me, for only in your mind are the mists of "yours" and "mine". Yet only with your mind can you know Me and experience Me. Empty your heart of empty fears. Get yourself out of the way, I am there. You can of yourself do nothing, but I can do all. And I AM in all. Though you may not see the good, good is there, for I am there. Only in Me does the world have meaning; only out of Me does the world take form; only because of ME does the world go forward. I am the law on which movement of stars and growth of living cells are founded I am the love that is the law's fulfilling. I am assurance. I am peace. I am oneness. I am the law that you can live by. I am the love that you can cling to. I am your assurance. I am ONE with you. Though you fail to find ME, I do not fail you Though your faith in Me is unsure, My faith in you never wavers, because I know you, I love you. Beloved, I AM there. - Love Baba Chant & Be happy “ Shankaram siva Shankaram†- Maha Get perfect Email ID for your Resume. Get before others grab.
