Thought of the day
O My loving Ram My Gurujans, kindly accept my heartfelt pranaams. Hold me My Lord, as you bless me with the desire for You! Like a little baby in the womb, I am , but still this mind makes me an infant wanting to be held by You in Your arms O Maa!
As the theme of ‘ parents and children’ comes to a closure today, Param Pujya Shri Shri Swamiji Maharajshri says that only his life is successful , who has done something valuable for his family, for his lineage, for his community. One who has lighted up the lives of his entire community.
Param Pujya Shri Swamiji Maharajshri says that one should perform one’s duties as a householder very well. Pay respects to parents and elders, not only in the family but outside too. Pujya Maharajshri has always stressed that the best time for an individual to get started with sadhna is ‘youth’. As at that the the human mind is fresh, body can undergo varied activities of sadhna. But as age progresses, it’s very hard to take care of the mind and many issues get started with the body! So Pujya Maharajshri always lays utmost importance with the youth , to get started with sadhna.
Pujya Maharajshri says that to inculcate good values in ourselves, satsangati is of utmost importance. It is here where one gets to learn, what a human is, what all he is capable of doing, what’s the purpose of human birth and how this human birth can be made worthwhile! All these things aren’t taught in schools, colleges etc. Schools and colleges only make one capable of filling the stomach, that’s it! But how to deal with various ups and downs of life, how to accumulate good karmas, how to be a good son, daughter, patent, in law, spouse, grand parent, only satsangati teaches! Gurujans say what we do in the world, all animals and birds are doing it too! Being born, finding food, mating, having kids, making nest and dying! So in order to have a life different from animals and birds, it’s satsangati that teaches, how it can be done!
Happiness is not in money or more branded things. Happiness is not in getting drunk or getting lost in being physical. Happiness is not getting into the top notch club… Since ages people have been after it but they have never found it there !!! It’s when our heart becomes alive in compassion, when we give selflessly, when we serve selflessly and see the other person’s eyes go misty…. That happiness makes a lasting impression and then we want more of it!!
O Ram ! It’s only with Your compassion that You come in the physical form of a Guru to guide us, towards You! O Ram! Even then we slip, we fall , so many times! We waste precious moments due to the strong effect of Maaya. O Ram! You have brought us so far! Kindly keep taking us, till we reach Your abode , where forever we can be at Your Lotus feet O Ram!! Bless us O Ram ! Bless us !
All at Your Lotus feet!
Jai Jai Ram 🙏
