Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Shankaram Shiva Shankaram I am in the state of enlightenment, and so able to face the onslaughts of the world.I am one with the Spirit and so my methods suit me. It will not do you good to follow my methods, since you are in the process of mellowing. You are not yet mellowed to face the insults that the world so readily heaps on a mellowed person. So, do not follow me, that is not to my liking. If you find something good in what I say, adopt them. Take me as your guide. But try to progress by framing your own life philosophy. Do not follow; just flow. Flow is, floating with the current, like a log, a silent spectator to everything that passes by you. The secret of life is to drift with the current, enjoying everything that happens to you. And then, like the log that the current takes along, you too will be transported to The Shore. Do not follow any Guru blindly, without rhyme or reason. Imbibe the good you perceive in the Guru, the good that you find in his system of working. But keep your mind open to make changes that fit in. And then, maybe you will go one step ahead of the person you are using as the role model. Do not constrict your options.And, importantly, if you have got entangled with a wrong ‘guru’, and if you have to wrest yourself from his clutches, your ego may prevent you from doing so. You may have to concoct excuses for your diluted loyalty to escape the criticism of persons around. Why get caught in this situation? Do not follow anyone. Do not confine yourself to your guru’s philosophy. Keep growing further and further. That is what I have done. That is what I want you also to do. As far as our relationship is concerned, I am no guru. I want you to grow on your own, utilizing the strength of my presence. If you want to succeed, talk in terms of what the other person wants from you instead of talking in terms of what you want from the other person. Remember, that to catch a fish, you need to offer worms as the bait, not the dosa or idli that you like. God is not for sale. God is all loving. God loves; God only loves; only God loves. God is always waiting, ready to help us. We should develop the attitude of selfless service to humanity. We should learn from the sun, the moon and all the rivers, the lesson to perform the assigned duties perfectly, without any break in service, and devoid of any expectation. There prevails a wrong notion among men that God will grant us what we want only when we ask for it. Also many think that God will help only if we perform various kinds of pooja’s. All these are just illusions. God is always there to take care of every creation. There is a divinity that shapes our destiny. God knows when to give, where, to whom and also what to give to each and everyone. Do not underrate the divine and pure love that God shows to us. Do not bargain or enter into a deal with God. God will automatically give you what is good for you. If you try to bribe an honest officer he will get mad at you. Similarly God will never like the idea of his devotees entering into a deal with him. You can ask God with liberty, by the virtue of your prayers. Use devotion as your trump card. If we love God with the innocence of a child, He will definitely give what we ask Him for. If what we ask is not good for us, He will enlighten us. Only we fail to show true love towards God. We make various kinds of promises to God but fail to keep them up. But what He has ordained for us, will definitely happen, regardless of whether we are thankful to Him or not.
