The Bhagavad Gita bestows total and complete wisdom to lead a life of actions. Each reading of Geeta provides wisdom and consciousness to lead an action-filled life in new creative forms. Geeta is as deep and infinite as the ocean, and its knowledge is as bottomless. Thousands of gems are hidden in these depths. We need to descend into the depths of the ocean to get these gems, similarly, we have to transcend into the depths of life to enhance the preciousness of this life. Continuous action is necessary to obtain both situations, and we have to fill ourselves with wisdom, knowledge, and consciousness while remaining fully active. Guru has been considered as an ocean. Hundreds of small streams and rivers merge into the ocean, similarly when a Sadhak-disciple unites with SadGuru, he transforms his own life into a vast ocean. Water-filled pot flows in the river, and when the pot breaks, then the water of the pot merges with the water of the river. At this point, you cannot differentiate between the water or the pot or the river, both are now considered as the water of the river. Similarly, when the Shishyatva discipleship merges with the Gurutva, then only the Gurutva remains. This is the totality of life in the true sense and is the main objective of this human life.
History testifies that whenever man has lost faith in the Guru, in God, or in nature, then only the despair and frustration have expanded in his life. The main reason for this disbelief is – the growth of atheism. In fact, the word Guru is indicative of knowledge and the knowledge neither has any limit nor can it be bounded within any specific limit. Those who bind the limits of knowledge, or try to limit its range, are in reality indicators of the Guru’s incompetence. Guru is like a mirror, who shows the true image to the disciple and progresses him on the right path. He bestows dynamism in life while liberating him from fear.
And when such an event occurs in the life of a disciple, he achieves the ultimate goal of life. His Kundalini automatically starts awakening at Advaita sense. He is finally able to take the form of that Kadamba tree, under whose shade the entire human race and society can experience divine joy and peace, along with the cool breeze of knowledge-wisdom. He invokes the Mansarovar of immortality within the shine of the Brahmatva divinity.
For thousands and thousands of years, many saints, Mahatmas, Sages, and Gods have incarnated in this creation and they have initiated the process to activate the consciousness of people. All these saints and sages continually keep on awakening the worldly persons for continuous enlightenment, but most of these people do not even want to listen, and just ignore them. They even stopped their laughter. Finally, nobody paid any attention to their words, and people turned deaf. However, they keep continuing their processes.
In this present time, if we approach any Guru, it becomes clear that the knowledge they have is the practical assimilation of the wisdom of the scriptures- Gita or Ramayana, which is instinctive. Guru possesses consciousness of vast knowledge to bestow valor to disciples, to lead life through diverse phases of life, and to be able to attain similar wisdom-knowledge. SadGuru always thinks about granting Total Divinity Brahmatva to the disciple, and to endeavor to even transform him into Total Brama Form.
Life is full of misery because we do not have the ability and capacity to make life happy. Life is not full of sorrow because we try to see life with sad eyes. Our sad vision darkens all extents of life. We continue to see externally, throughout our life. Why? Because we have adopted sorrow, have adopted the vision of suffering, and everything hinges on the perspective.
Stop the illusion of viewing life from a sad perspective. Banish the thought that life is bad. If anything is bad, it is me myself. And if we realize that we are bad, then there is a potential to change. How can you change life? This is wrong. If life is bad, then there must be a way to change it, because life is so vast. There is only one way, we have to change our thinking, we will have to change our perspective, otherwise, we will end in nothingness. If we do not alter it today, then this will cause frustration and desperation, it will either expand the thought to flee away, or will create traditions to leave life.
All of us are standing within this circle of bondage. Break these chains, and rebel against ignorance, rebel against misery, to initiate the influx of joy, to let the ray of bliss shine. Therefore, leading life with a constant disposition will bring joy. Being egoless means emptiness, that I leave myself, i.e., I leave everything to my Providence. Everything that I have in life, is a gift from the Almighty. When a worldly person gets this feeling, then the devotee and divine become one because God has created this entire creation. Therefore omnipotent Providence is ever-present, a worldly person comes and stays only for a short duration.
Simultaneously, the spirit of hymns and mantras, when they enter the life, then each pore attains consciousness. Incorporating these into our life continuously will free us from the rat race. Rather we will attain such high spirituality that crowds will gather to view us and listen to us, wherever we go. Putting it simply, the bad vibrations of criticism, jealousy, negativity, and toxicity will never fill joy and happiness into our life, rather a daily infusion of these ugly thoughts and spirits cause negativity to grow into our life, and lead to sufferings and sorrows. We should completely terminate these ugly thoughts to be able to inculcate excellence in our life. Habits form by doing something repeatedly and regularly over a period and eventually get embedded within our life through repetition. Thus we should regularly practice removing these negativities, to remove these toxicities from our lives forever. Similarly, inculcating and regularly practicing of discourses, hymns, and mantras in our life will endow us with supernatural divine powers.
With divine blessings,
