Guest guest Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Shankaram Shiva Shankaram Assume you visit a doctor for getting a boil on your hand cured. The doctor gives you some medicines and asks you to visit him after the boil softens. When you go back to him he cleans the wound, applies ointment and covers the wound with a bandage. If the doctor had done this the first day itself, the boil will re-appear and trouble the hand. This medication is what we call ‘curing from the root’. The doctor knows what he is doing. It does not make any sense to ask him what he is up to. Similarly, in His limitless compassion, God mitigates the consequences of your past actions and then does the surgery. It was you who fixed the appointment with the doctor. You used the medicines prescribed by him, visited him after the boil softened, and bore the incision patiently. You know that the doctor means well, so you co-operated with him. Why are you refusing to co-operate with the Divine Doctor who is capable of operating on the very source of all your worldly misdeeds? God works for you free of cost. Why do you refuse to believe Him? Why do you assume that He is tormenting you? This is what you have to consider. Why do people get into trouble? Assume you have an untamed cow. If you let it roam freely, it will injure others. It will graze others’ fields and damage their harvests. Some farmer may beat it. It will run across to you. What will be your reaction? You will tether it in the cowshed and give it fodder. You will keep it tethered till it tames down. Then it will not harm anybody, even on the busiest road. We are also cows. Our owner is Pasupathi (Lord Siva) (in Tamil, Pasu: Cow; Pathi : Lord). Our owner is Govindan (Lord Vishnu) (In Sanskrit, Go: Cow, Vindan: Lord). We are sheep. Our owner is the Good Shepherd. As long as we, the cows, behave in a wild manner, we will be bound with the rope of misery. Without this rope holding us back, we will trouble others and get ourselves into avoidable trouble. So, God has secured us tightly with the rope of misery. Once we tame down, Govinda (or) Pasupathi (or) the Good Shepherd will remove our miseries. Miseries exist till such time you mellow. Look at Siva Shankar Baba. He has mellowed. So no ropes, no miseries, no problems for you from him. I have no problems from the Supreme who created me. You must also strive to become like me. Then you too will attain the bliss I am enjoying now and impart that to others too. Revere your guru and you will attain what you want’. But again, there are several so-called gurus who assume that a saffron dress is enough to project them that way. As a human being, you do not know to differentiate between a diamond and a pebble. So how will you know who is right and who is wrong? People are unable to identify the real guru. They get disillusioned following people masquerading as gurus. Thiruvalluvar says, ‘Some people pretend to have renounced everything and cheat the world; the five elements laugh in derision at this pretence’. When you do not have any norms to understand the true worth of a Guru, how will you accept me as a guru? Not possible and more so when you see me interacting so casually with everyone, moving as one among you. There are times when I may be chatting with someone who is wearing a saffron dress (as part of the rituals connected with Sabarimala pilgrimage); a new entrant would assume he is Baba and prostrate before him. (Baba laughs). It has happened so many times. A true guru inspires people to learn from his life that is his message. I never seek anything from whoever coming to me. See for yourself - there is no Hundi (charity box) here. I do not charge you anything for meeting me. My time is free for you. And I do not indulge in any gimmick. My instrument is love and I have transformed everyone into loving souls. Someone brings fruits, some other brings eatables, and these are distributed to the crowd. Samratchanites delight in sharing what they have. How did I achieve this? I made myself love personified. And this spreads to others. Just as a yawn causes others too to yawn, love evokes love. It happens of its own. And this is what you see in Samratchana. All these people who bring you eatables, belong to middle class families only. They may come from several miles away. But they are prepared to take the burden of bringing these all the way, just for the joy of sharing: that Baba has imbibed in them. In today’s society, where people are unwilling to share even the temple prasadam(food offering), fearing that their share of fortune will decline, I am nurturing an organization of people who love to share what they have with others. This is how divinity spreads. People do not realize that divinity does not co-exist with selfishness. People find it difficult to express love to their own family members. Whereas though I have no relationships, I am able to hold so many people in my love. This power is infused with Grace. This Divine Grace exists in you too. This is electromagnetic energy. Grace is able to instill love in so many people. By being an example to people, I have been able to inspire them into revering everyone as God. But you find it difficult to accept me as God, as the son of God, Siddha Purusha, or even a guru. At present, the only term you seem to understand is ‘social service’. Baba runs a hospital, a school, has so many free socio-economic-cultural courses; so he is doing social service! This is the role you understand me in. I know I am God. But for your understanding, I render social service: free medical services, help poor people get married and so on. People assume these are the main activities of a Mahaan. Some day, people will understand Siva Shankar Baba’s divinity, the social transformation that will result from It, which I have come to achieve. There need not be any doubt about that. In the near future, the entire world will acknowledge my state. I am all set to be a phenomenon in World History. But what is the use if I speak of it now? Take note of these words I have spoken. When the time comes, you will realize that every word of mine is true. I know every step of mine. The result of my every step is already in my vision. - Love Baba Chant & Be Happy " Shankaram Shiva Shankaram" - Maha Love Cricket? Check out live scores, photos, video highlights and more.
