A Caring Shoulder - Baba

Mahaans come into this world as God's Workers. They do not have any work on their own. God selects certain souls and makes them His representatives and He solves people's problems through them. He has a set time for accomplishing it. There is a ‘Paramaathma Vasthu’ which unites you and Me. It is this ‘Paramaathma Vasthu’ which is accomplishing all this.

 

True service to God should come from the heart. It is the purity of your thoughts. If you truly work for God, God will come in any form and He will still continue to look after your wants. If you learn to cry for God and learn to do service to God, you also can become God. For the God's footprints to be in your heart, your heart should become soft and compassionate and loving and your heart should not be like a stone. Wipe out anger, violence, hatred, enmity, ego and negative thoughts from your heart and be more loving & compassionate towards everyone.

 

Thiruppan Azhwar was crying and lamenting that, since he was in a very backward class, he was not able to see God and he won't be able to get God's Divine Grace. He was always thinking of Sri Ranganathar and crying from the other side of the Cauvery river in Sri Rangam. He used to cry and sing, "God, won't I have the good fortune of seeing You and get your Divine Blessings and do service for you?"

 

Can anything happen without God knowing it? When a true Devotee cries for God and calls out for Him from anywhere, God will identify him.

 

Lord Ranganathar called the chief priest of the temple and said, "You go and bring Thiruppan Azhwar here. He will say that he won't come. But still, you have to bring him forcefully, by carrying him on your shoulders to my Sannidhi (Sanctum)."

 

And so, the priest who was religiously doing pooja at the Temple, went on God's request and brought him, holding him on his shoulders and Thiruppan Azhwar sang thus," The eyes which have seen my beloved Lord Sri Ranganathar should not see anything else!" He sang just 10 songs only. He sang that he should not see any other thing after seeing God and he merged with the Lord becoming one with the Lord.

 

He never did anything big. He was on the other side of the Cauvery river, he was having a complex about himself because he was from a backward class and about his devotion and whether God will accept him or not, and he was just crying, singing and always longing to see and experience the love of the Lord. That is all. God identified his true love and devotion and embraced him in His sanctum.

 

So, you should not think that when you go to Tirupathi or Mukthinath or Kailash or Sri Rangam only. You will get God's Divine Grace. You be wherever you are. If your love and devotion to God is true, then God will send someone, even if by carrying you on their shoulders, they will make you reach God. This is what you should learn from Thiruppan Azhwar's life.

 

Whoever showered wholesome love on the Lord was treated specially. God kept a constant vigil over their every activity and walked their way for them. God loves everyone, irrespective of caste, creed, status, gender or age. There is no distinction in spirituality. I feel very happy when I come across people who are more devout than me. I appreciate every Christian who reads the Bible and behaves in a disciplined manner. I welcome every Muslim who diligently prays and is good to everyone.

 

This is the true crying for God, without any motive, just for the love of God. When your being yearns for God, tears roll down non-stop in your love for God. When the tears from your heart are dense enough, then God will come in any form and He will continue to look after your wants

 

Love & Blessings - Baba
