Guest guest Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Shankaram Shiva Shankaram You are what you think you are. You become you want to become. When you warm yourself at a distance from fire , you feel cozy . The nearer you go, the hotter you feel. if you throw a log of wood into the fire, it will continue burning till it becomes fire itself. but till it burns out completely ,it has to bear the heat.So ,it is with human beings .as long as you keep burning incense sticks and camphor at a distance from god, you will feel comfortable .the nearer you want to get to god, the more difficult the path becomes the more divine you aspire to become, the more hardships you will face in life. If you want to become god ,you must be ready to face all types of tests. Sundaramurthy Nayanar & Appar Swamy were prepared to face tests like being imprisoned in a limestone furnace or being tread over by an elephant , because their devotion was sincere . they had absolute faith in god's protection.The troubles you are facing currently, is nothing compared to the trials that these devotees of god had to undergo keeping this constantly in mind, learn to accept ,whatever life has to offer to you. know that your are in the safe custody of god. stop complaining about the heat of god's fiery tests. Choose instead tofeel warmed by god's love Total surrender is leaving everything totally to God . Understanding that nothing is accomplished without god's grace .being able to tell god that you are nothing without him. Suppose you fall into water. if you know swimming, try to rescue yourself. Or ,if you do not know swimming, or become tired of swimming, cling tightly to whoever comes to your rescue. Depend totally on the person who has volunteered to save you. there is no intermediate solution.Surrender is that simple , analyze yourself .if after several attempts ,you are very sure ,you cannot bear the tests anymore, submit to whoever is prepared to take care of you. do not waver afterwards you should be able of accept whatever life has to offer you. don't question why certain things never seem to work for you. Everything in god's kingdom has a reason attached .just because you do not understand the reason behind a particular happening, does not mean that god is cruel. how can anyone be cruel towards his own children???????????.................More importantly, spiritualism is based on trust .trust that you are given absolute protection .time and gain ,god deputes representatives to lead the world to salvation. it is your duty to ensure faith in this representative. Once you imbibe this faith ,you will go through life un-affected by pain or pleasure. You will understand that whatever happens is for your good .and this is the true objective of life. A man went to a guru seeking to attain wisdom. The guru left milk in a kettle to boil while they were discussing ,the seeker pointed out that the milk was spilling over.The guru put off the stove and the discussion continued ,the guru was meanwhile pouring milk into a tumbler ,the milk overflowed and seeker pointed this out to the guru. The guru smiled and asked him to return home. The man insisted that he had come to the guru with a desire to gain knowledge of god. The guru said," if you had come with the thirst to learn, you would have been unaware of everything else .i was testing you to check if you were really inclined to learn. you have failed in the test." so also, i am beyond reach of any research. i am very clear about my mission and related activities. and it is bound to win because my mission is god's vision .if you seek to attain wisdom through me, you should have steadfast faith in me. Don't try to guide me ,because I know what i am doing, my inner force is directing me i will administer tests, to reveal to the seeker his flaws, so that he gradually improves. but ,if someone tries to analyze me, and in the process, gets into mis-conceptions about me, he will have failed the testEveryone cannot comprehend me. this is a very profound statement and i am uttering this in the same serious manner in which lord krishna said it. Everyone cannot comprehend me , it implies that some people can understand me. Which means that if someone really tried, he can comprehend me. The effort should be to explore me, not to analyze me. And the only way to do it total surrender. Surrender your wills unto me, and i will reveal the cosmic form of my love I am always with you , Love , Blessings & Big Hug - Baba Chant & be Happy " Shankaram shiva shankaram" Mahalaxmi From cricket scores to your friends.
