The only difference between animals and humans is that animals can’t think of getting up early and pray to God, they don’t have the wisdom to think what activities they should do and what not. It is only a human, who has been blessed with this wisdom, to think how he can enlighten his life.
One can enlighten his life only with the help of this wisdom, following which even a simple person can achieve totality in life, even a simple man can become God. A simple man can witness the aura of God, he can become divine and this is the base of life. If we can’t see the true form of God then this is a waste of life.
However, the same thing has been repeated by hundreds of people before me. I am not telling something new to you. Even they said that a human must witness God in his life and I am also saying the same thing to you, then what is the difference? The difference is between saying and doing. If we say that recite “Ram-Ram” and God Ram will appear before you, then this is not going to happen. If we say that we have to eat and just by saying that we have eaten, our stomach won’t get filled, this is not possible. For that we need to cook the food and eat it, we need to perform all these activities, mere speaking won’t work.
Just by chanting and meditating, we can’t see the true form of God in life, though we may get mental peace. However there is a great difference between the two. When we practice meditation, if we say that we are to meditate then this is our shortfall, this is our weakness, this is our ego that we think we can meditate but in reality you are unable to meditate.
Meditation means that we should even forget our existence. We should forget that we are sitting, we should forget ourselves, get completely drowned, we should not hear anything or whether any sound is coming from the kitchen. If something like this happens, then only one should consider that he is able to meditate else not.
Our sages, yogis, saints have adviced people to perform meditation, to recite mantras, Ram-Ram, but no practical procedure ever came before you till now……right now you are thirty five years old and just thinking on this you will grow older by fifty years and then by seventy five years and finally you will die. If you think that we have chanted “Ram-Ram” and we also went to the temple…but these are just the base, we have to travel the path on which we can achieve totality in life.
What is the definition of totality?
If we don’t understand what the meaning of totality is, then we can’t even achieve it. If we have to go to Cannaught Place and we don’t know the path, we can’t reach there, rather we will reach Karol Bagh. We have to go to Cannaught Place and we don’t know the path. All these saints have told you that you have to reach Cannaught Place, you will find peach there. But none of them have told you the path to reach there. Till the time you don’t know the way you can’t achieve totality in life, you can’t reach Cannaught Place, you can’t see the God…..and till the time you don’t see God, you can’t amalgamate yourself….and till the time you can’t amalgamate you can’t achieve totality in life.
It is mentioned in Ishaavaasyopanishad that we are complete and after amalgamating in the complete form (God), we can become complete. Lord has given us a complete form, we have two eyes, nose, ears, hands, legs, there is no shortfall, however when this completeness amalgamates with that completeness (God), then only we can achieve totality in life.
This is an incomplete totality; you can’t achieve totality in life just by listening to what I say. Till the time you don’t practically perform what I say, you can’t achieve totality in life. And when you achieve totality, you will be able to see the one whom the scriptures refers as Brahma, Krishna, Ram, Buddha, Mahavir…..what all names they have been given. We can achieve totality if we are able to amalgamate ourselves into them.
Then old age will not come to us, then there will be no shortfall in life, your life will be free of troubles. As mentioned in the shloka above, money, fame, power etc. don’t mean totality. If they would, then there should be no issues in Birla’s life. I went to Mauritius, some fifteen-twenty days back. A disciple had organized a sacrificial for world peace. I met Birla prior to going to Mauritius at his home. I asked him, “Are you fine?” and blessed him.
Birla Ji replied, “Guru Ji! All is fine. However, I am facing some financial issues. Please take care of that, rest all is fine”. Now, if Birla Ji is facing financial issues, then no wonder we are facing the financial issue in our lives too. Again Birla Ji said now-a-days I’m unable to sleep Guru Ji. I replied, “Go to the market and buy it for two-three lakhs”. He said, “Guru Ji, how can money buy sleep?”
I replied, “Yes, you can’t buy it and if you can’t buy it then what is the use of this money? If you can’t buy sleep, then what can you buy from this money? The whole night he rolls on the bed and then takes 2-3 tranquil and still he can’t sleep properly and he wakes up by 6:00 am. We are far more happier than him…..the reason for this is that we are able to sleep by 8 in the night, we don’t have to buy sleep by spending money….you can’t buy sleep for money. You can’t buy hunger for money, you can’t buy good health for money. You can’t buy God for money…..nor appease him by a beautiful body. You may be very beautiful, you may have applied cream and powder on your face but God will not get appeased by that!
All these are nothing but waste! Is there anything by which we can attain joy in life? We have already found that the above said things can’t give us joy. If Birla Ji is facing financial issues, if he is unable to sleep and if we are having a sound sleep then this proves that we are happier than him, we are not having that much tension and still he wants to see God. I asked him, “What do you do to witness the Divine”? He replied , “I have go t a tem p l e constructed at home. You can understand Guru Ji, I don’t get much time, still I go to the temple.”
Poor guy, he goes to the temple every day and we come here with joy every day. We come and sit here by our own and he goes to the temple under obligation. I don’t mean to say that there is a shortcoming in him, what I mean is that worldly pleasures can’t give us true joy in life. They can just give us satisfaction…..it is just a satisfaction that last year I had four lakhs rupees and now I have five lakhs, that’s all. You have accumulated 1 Lakh by cheating, by your lies, tricks or whichever way.
Till now you have been wearing four clothes and now since you have five lakhs you should start wearing eight-ten clothes because you have accumulated one more lakh this year. Previously you were eating four chapattis and now you should eat eight-ten chapattis. However you will still eat four chapattis and wear four clothes only whether you have twenty lakhs or fifty lakhs. Then what is the need to practice for all these treacherous means, when they just result in tensions and troubles in your life.
The main aim of our life, Shashtras, Upanishads, Vedas, Puranas, your’s, your father’s, your forefather’s and everyone else is to achieve true joy in life. There is a difference in joy and pleasure. If you buy a fan in summers and use it, it will give you pleasure. Joy is something different, joy is that you are sleeping merrily even if the fan is not operating. If there is cold and still you are enjoying it, sit merrily, whether you have warm clothes or not then it is true joy. I wish you all that you attain true joy on this pious day of Guru Poornima. I wish you all again from the depth of my heart.
