Thought for the hour
O Lord of Lords, Lord of Universe, the Infinite One, I , who am nothing but a part of You, offer my heartfelt salutations ! My most humble salutations to my Gurujans , who just do not choose to leave my side, even if my report card shows all red marks!
Param Pujya Shri Swamiji Maharajshri explains that O my Soul ! You are impure because of the garb of illusion around you ! Know this and endure this my dear with patience . The way the water of Ganga , Ganga Jal is considered pure , likewise you too are pure!
Pujya Maharajshri says that due to incorrect identification of ourselves with our body, mind and intellect , we consider ourselves as impure, full of vices, dirty and filled with negativities of all sorts ! But all this is of the mind , who is not ‘ me’ in reality , but we identify ourself so strongly with it , that it results in further bondage for us !
Pujya Maharajshri always said that a Guru has a relation with the Soul of all sadhaks. Even His love is Soulful or Aatmik. That’s the reason they accept us the way we are! Not getting bothered by our dirty karmas or minds, instead They become our gardeners and start weeding out and cleaning. Likewise , a disciple too needs to see his or her Master as a realized Soul rather than the body!
Hence Gurujans say that our Soul is as pure as the Ganga jal, and the more we focus on this aspect, the more purity we feel inside of us. Consistent Ram Naam or Incessant Simran or rememberance of Ram Naam assists in cleansing the mind of its impurities and one fortunate day, the disciple comes face to face with its pure Self! Pujya Maharajshri says, that the objective of doing jaap is to realize our own Self ! That’s the purpose of human birth ! That’s why Pujya Swamiji Maharajshri said – all knowledge we gained, but we did not realize our Self then what purpose did the knowledge serve !
O My Divine Gurujans ! The One who knew Their Self ! Only the One who knows His own Self can make other souls realize their own Self ! So say the scriptures ! So we offer ourselves completely at Your Lotus feet O My Master ! To kindly bless us and take us within to un- layer all the layers of illusion, such that we see and realize our own Self ! Only You can make it happen , only You!
All at Your lotus feet !
Jai Jai Ram
