Blessed Dependence
Dr. Nikhil
Often have I wondered, and so have other devotees of Swami,
With jewels of virtuous soulslined up, sages and angels holy,
For the rarest chance of serving God Incarnate of supreme glory,
“Why did You choose a dull stone like meas a servant,O Swami”?
I was wasting the greatest privilege; how foolish was my thinking!
O Master Chef, Youallowed us into Your kitchen of “No Admission”,
Fed with Your own handsYourfood of exquisite taste, fresh n’ steaming.
What unparalleled bliss! Divine knowledge from the Lord of Creation!
Due to Your infinite kindness You allowed us, unqualified imposters,
Entry in Your Divine Restaurant; You cook and we serve as waiters.
To witness Your miraculous cooking, ODivine Cook, You’veallowed us.
Serving it to the world is only the later mission; after first nourishingus.
Having got this rarest chance, isn’t it wise to just gratefully enjoy?
The meek and weak need God; sages and angels are already the highest.
Nourished with Yourwondrous divine knowledge, we too can reform.
Granting us Your service is only Your pretext for uplifting the weakest.
The Lord has said “Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth”.
Twice blessed are they, bringing glory to God in both success and failure.
Their failure proves their own inability and success proves Yourpower,
Like the mute speaking or the crippled climbing mountains with God’s power.
Thrice blessed are they that they surrender to Swami due to their dependence.
As Rama, You promised permanentprotection[1] and as Krishna,early reformation[2],
Which happens through divine instruction; guaranteed is Youreternal affiliation.
Far better it is to be withouttalentor power but enjoy Yoursweetest association!
Blessed four times are they, that they realize their dependence on You.
Talents and power bring self-confidence that quickly grows to pride;
The deadliest poison that brings downfall. What use are such talents?
No talents, but full God-confidence, is the best insurance against pride.
The deluded strong, virtuous and rich think success comes from their action.
Their actions are but inert. Blind fools, don’t seeGod’s hand in their success!
Yet Okindest Father, You grant their desired fruits even for defective action.
Overlooking their arrogance, hoping they will change, Youcontinue to bless.
In a world in which self-confidence, power, talents and money rule,
It is true, we meek, untalented devotees of Swami, do not fare too well.
True too that we are mere rough stones before precious brilliant jewels.
True even that we eternally depend on Youevenfor our basic survival.
But we feel blessed that we will ever be associated with Youinseparably;
That our failure and success will reveal our weakness and Yourdivine glory.
Blessed it is to become a dependent servant of the incarnated Divine Trinity[3].
Blessed it is to become a dependent servant of my Sadguru, Shri Datta Swami.
Swami: The One and Only Truth
Smt. Devi
Rare indeed is it for the Lord to enter one’s life.
This is the story of that sacred fortune.
Only to attain the service and love of the Lord,
Has each being come into this creation.
The depth of our Swami’s divine love is beyond anyone’s seeing.
That which is seen in our eyes[4], other than salty water, is nothing.
The devotee can tell God about all his pain, though it is never necessary.
But in our own interest, the Lord decided to be silent about His own agony.
Often there is one thing in our mind and something different in our word and deed.
But fulfilling love in thought, word and deed is my Swami’s characteristic indeed
When a devotee loves God, it is but a fickle flowing stream of devotion.
But the love in the heart of my Lord exceeds even the water of the ocean.
Bland, dry, burnt and half-eaten,
Whatever this devotee gave her Lordwas but poison.
On receiving divine nectar
At Swami’s doorstep, this beggar became richer than heaven.
Greatest bliss comes from Your knowledge,
O Swami and the sweetestis Your love.
I realized what I’d drunk so far was just water;
On drinking the nectar of divine knowledge and love.
Though I’ve never seen Lord Krishna, surely Swami, He must be beautiful as You.
Why queen Radha, went crazy in His love,this O Swami, I realized on seeing You.
After untold ages this moment has come.
I wish this moment stands still,O Swami!
Filling Your image in my heart; whenever I remember,
May I find You right with me!
For a tree it is impossible to grow if it does not have
The earth and the open sky, O Swami.
I’m afraid, this devotee’s devotion might just get
Buried in the heart, without my Swami.
For a lady it is impossible to call her as ‘fortunately married’
If her husband is not living.
A servant without Swami is like a widow’s forehead
Without the crimson mark shining[5].
Impossible without its Creator, God Himself, is the existence of this creation.
So is the pilgrim with no Goal (Swami) to reach; a journey without any destination.
Rather than neglecting Swami due to closeness,
It is better to endure separation.
But Your being in this world is essential,
Even if You think it’s my self-absorption[6].
I apologize that I am dull O Swami, no logic is understood by this heart.
No matter how much I convince the brain; still unconvinced is the heart.
People say that a person falls in love,
But the lover only rises in the love of God Almighty.
Pain in sacrifice, surrender and service,
Never letting the servant fall; that’s the love of Swami.
Sages and saints do penance to get bound in it, O Lord;
Such is the rope of Your love.
Then how is it possible for a devotee to simply go through her life,
Swami without Your love?
Unlike the false showy bondsof the world, true is bond of love with the Creator.
Liberation hidden in God’s bond; he who fails to get bound, suffers here forever.
The addiction of the six vices[7] is so powerful that from its grip,
One can never get free.
Such fulfillment in the divine love-drug that its addict attains the Creator;
Others lose eternity.
What magic of my Lord Venu Gopala Krishna’s knowledge;
Its intoxication never ceases!
No matter how much I listen to it from You, the desire
To go on listening never decreases.
By whose mere thought, the soul of a person,
Polluted over several births, becomes holy,
Not only words but even all feelings are
Inadequate before my full and perfect Swami.
There’s much more to be said, but now this soul has lost courageto say to You.
Other than You, Swami, I see all else as false; my devotion is false and I am too.
Insufficient is this soul’s worthiness;
To attain my Swami,no worthiness is sufficientever.
May I remain unworthy, but with You in my heart;
Remaining a pen in Your hand forever.
Necessity of Practical Sacrifice and Service
Unimaginable God
Diamond and charcoal are made of the same element called as the carbon,
One shines and other is not dull but dark, both opposite like day and night,
Same element, difference in structures as we study in the topic 'allotropy',
Nikhil & Devi are diamonds, I am charcoal turned to diamond by His grace!
God's grace is not necessary for Nikhil because he is originally a diamond.
My fortune is unimaginable, for, all My devotees are the original diamonds.
Pacification of change of taste from routine trend is the nature of any soul,
Same is the nature of God even though God is the infinite ocean of bliss,
King goes for hunting in the forest to kill a deer, not that he is in need of it,
His kitchen is supplied with hunted deers everyday, hunting only for variety.
Brahmasutra explains this point[8], Shankara gives example of king's hunting.
In this context of variety of taste, four probabilities result in God and souls:
Diamond in charcoals, charcoal in diamonds, charcoal in charcoals and
Diamond in diamonds, first probability always existed in the incarnations,
Surrounded by devoted souls as we see in all previous human incarnations.
While preaching the great scholars, He becomes the diamond to diamonds,
He becomes charcoal to charcoals while preaching illiterate devoted souls,
The third and fourth probabilities exist in every incarnation as per the need
Since need to uplift devotees is not sacrificed for the variety of routine taste.
The second probability of becoming charcoal among the diamond-disciples,
Never got pacified so far and hence this variety taste is now enjoyed by Him.
For this reason only, He entered Me, but, remember, He will never sacrifice,
The need of devotees as third and fourth probabilities just for change of taste.
This charcoal will become diamond if diamonds approach for the knowledge,
This will remain as charcoal only if charcoals approach this for firm devotion.
He can turn this charcoal into a diamond by changing structure or Samskara,
Tetrahedral structure of same carbon atoms result in appearance of diamond.
Nikhil & Devi continue as devotees for highest state to be masters of God,
This human incarnation, charcoal, serves both diamonds in the upper world,
'To be the charcoal' becomes meaningful since this charcoal serves diamonds,
The diamond serving another diamond is not as meaningful as the charcoal.
Shirdi Sai Baba cooked food in locked kitchen irritated by very high tension,
As Satya Sai Baba, He served the food to devotees in a very pleasant manner,
I stole wealth-butter, food of even issues, from the houses of all My devotees,
Which is their wealth and these devotees are as pure and holy as those sages.
The Knowledge-food is peculiar as you serve others, it is eaten by you!
Your mouth is simultaneously eating the same food as other mouths eat,
As you propagate spiritual knowledge, you assimilate it simultaneously,
How many think that the service to God itself is drawing its fixed salary?
No salary for drawing salary, show Me one devotee serving in this state.
Any devotee serving God is in the exchange type of business deal only!
Truth is harsh to be told now and then at least like a chilly eaten in meals.
Total dedication of everything and everybody of self including yourself
For the sake of the God is not seen anywhere except hearing some in past,
Reverse is seen today as you see scholars of monism claiming to be the God,
Robbing everything of God since they are God without their disappearance.
This is ego and selfishness only, of course, human incarnation also is same,
But, God wanted such monism, devotee never aspired for it, note difference,
In fact, 'no aspiration' for such monism is compulsory requisite for devotee,
In this monism declared by soul, devotee is always aspiring for such a state!
If 'I' is not crossed, 'My' is never crossed, 'I' is root of 'My', both to go away,
Then only, the total sacrifice and total surrender are possible in the devotion.
God should appear in the place of 'I', but, 'I' appears in the place of the God,
Monism sees first 'I' and then the God as in the statement spoken “I am God”.
Monism is of two types: original as per intention of Shankara and false
As per the twisted version of Shankara, original is from the side of God,
Shankara says that monism even as a smell comes only by grace of God[9],
False is from the side of devotee based on the attraction to status of God.
When God likes to enter this world in human form, He selects a devotee,
A dress hanging from the hanger existing in His personal dressing room,
Hardly half a dozen dresses only exist, from those one is selected by Him
As per the requirement of a divine program, this is the human incarnation.
First, 'I' should disappear and then only God should appear in that place,
'I' is a dress indicating a specific human being, the God wears that dress,
A few dresses or devotees are hanging from the hangers to serve the God,
In His dressing room, which are the inner circle of God for His selection.
A dress hanging from hanger in a ready made shop is human soul
Present in this world without any reference to the house of the God,
The connection with God is established when God gets it from shop
And places it in His dressing room, dresses are in innermost circle.
This selected dress from shop present in His closest dressing room
Happens to be said as messenger, no direct contact with His body,
This is dualism of Madhva, even though not worn by Him, He likes
That dress very much, maximum tolerance of jealousy is this level
Like the maximum glucose tolerance level of the diabetic patient!
When He wears a selected dress to visit this world for specific program,
That dress is separate from Him, for sometime inseparable from His body,
This is the special Monism of Ramanuja as the intermediate state between
Monism and dualism, such selected and worn dress of Him is 'Son of God'.
The original monism of Shankara rejects any difference between both
The dress is worn by Him just for the sake of visual expression to world,
In this real monism of human incarnation, the above simile is changed,
The simile is inseparable God-current pervading all over the human wire.
For Madhva, Krishna is the messenger of Gita, a dress selected by God,
Existing in the personal dressing room as one of the six selected dresses,
For Ramanuja, God speaks Gita through Krishna, Krishna is worn dress,
Inseparable but different from God, Krishna is called as the 'Son of God'.
For Shankara, real monism is in the contemporary human incarnation,
The simile is electrified wire, where current is wire and wire is current,
It is like reversible equilibrium of a chemical reaction, you see Krishna,
You have seen God, you think about God, Krishna comes to the memory.
The false monism is misunderstood Shankara, an ordinary soul declaring
That he is God in the style of Krishna while preaching Gita! both similes
Explain this false concept, the soul is a dress present in ready made shop,
Not even seen by God to purchase and bring it to His own dressing room!
In the other simile, the soul is a non-electrified wire used in a waste yard
To tie a waste gunny bag filled with the waste materials to be thrown out,
The electricity is in a power house far from the non-electrified waste yard,
The wire in waste yard claims that it is electrified or itself is the electricity!
Datta is absolute truth, all this creation is relative reality, a lie to Him,
In this lie again exist both truth and lie, look as absolute reality to soul,
If one has false devotion in heart and prays God stating lies like that the
God is above all the bonds, is that Datta effected? Is He not omniscient?
I am not equal even to family since one serves it with full sacrifice,
No fruit in return in it, but in My case always the 'fruit in return' exists,
If a soul has true devotion in heart and says that its love is false only,
Will I be diverted by such expression? Here too, am I not omniscient?
Human souls come into world created by God for His entertainment,
Veda says so, creation for His pleasure only, the purpose of creation
Is the same as that of soul being its part, whole and its parts have the
Same purpose, the first question of Phani to Me was about this only.
Salt water of the sea is only to discourage devotee from Nivrutti here,
Sweetest divine nectar is also hidden in it for a firm and rigid devotee,
This is encouraging Nivrutti in the disguise of Pravrutti, no other way,
God is also very fond of the Nivrutti, but, fears for its false imitation.
God is very particular of Pravrutti at the basic level of human souls,
Rukmini is Pravrutti and Radha is Nivrutti, He is the Boss of both,
Both are to be simultaneously maintained with the talent of secrecy,
Otherwise, both clash each other, He swings between both the wives!
No soul is interested in Pravrutti, to speak out the truth sincerely,
Injustice to other souls for its personal benefits is present Pravrutti,
The reason is that no selfish benefit if the other souls are benefited,
Let God be benefited, for, He will return some fruits here or there.
Every soul is also very fond of the Nivrutti, ready for total sacrifice,
In view of the climax - fruit that God takes care of the winning soul,
The soul will utterly fail in Nivrutti if this aspiration for fruit exists,
Except sacrifice, surrender and service nothing else shall be present.
You can have aspiration for fruit in Pravrutti, but, control it always,
Your aspiration shall not harm other souls, you should not kill, steal,
And will the illegal sex here, these three are His strict commandments,
If you violate these three in Pravrutti, third eye of God opens on you.
God has to manage His family in personal house, which is Nivrutti,
He has to manage His public office, the Pravrutti, also, side by side,
Nivrutti never clashes with Pravrutti if proper management is done,
In Nivrutti, a very rare soul comes, that too, after millions of births!
Such rareness and long time are due to its path full of truth-thorns.
In Pravrutti attractions to worldly bonds are allowed with controls,
Attractions in bonds are controlled for the sake of the social balance,
Which is the top most priority of God, follow this top order of God,
Either by respect or devotion or fear for the God, otherwise, get fired.
Attraction in a bond should not be destroyed, needed for the Pravrutti,
You must keep your family happy by all the means, there is no sin in it,
You are required only to control attraction in your bonds for your family,
So that you will not do sins due to over attraction to your family bonds.
Bond and attraction in it are necessary for not only this Pravrutti here,
Both these are essential for Nivrutti also since both are required for you,
When you divert to God, bond with attraction is 'love or devotion', it is
Essential path to Him, after diverting same bond with attraction to God,
Now, attraction in bond to God can go beyond control, God is pleased.
Bilhana is in climax of love for his darling called 'Yaminipurnatilaka',
In the blindness of such mad love, he dashes a sage, unaware of dash,
Bond and attraction are in the climax in this Pravrutti, harming the sage,
Both the same are excellent in Nivrutti, sage turned him to Nivrutti and
Bilhana became Leelaashuka, topmost devotee bonded to God Krishna.
Bond with controlled attraction gives success in Pravrutti, the same bond
With infinite attraction gives success in Nivrutti, justice violated for God
Appears in a very rare soul only when the God competes with the justice
For the sake of testing your climax love to Him, every Tam, Dick & Harry
Shall not extend this to Pravrutti by exploitation for their worldly bonds.
In Nivrutti justice is violated for the sake of God, exploiters of this point
Violate justice for the sake of their family bonds doing lot of corruption,
Violation of justice is valid only when your goal is God, not your family,
Funniest point is that one doesn’t vote for justice against injustice even if
God is commanding so and God is violated for the sake of the injustice!
The six vices robbing your love in the forest of your worldly bonds can
Become strong helpers in your path to the God, if turned to Him directly,
Don't fear for those vices, which are traces before God, if you try to kill
Those, you are fired back by those, no sin-darkness before the God-Sun.
Contemporary human incarnation is one extreme problem for jealousy,
Voting God against justice is another extreme problem in this Nivrutti,
Both these problems get coincided incidentally in Shrimat Bhagavatam,
To lead to climax of complication in the love story of Radha and Krishna!
For this complication only, sage Vyasa did not compose Bhagavatam,
He composed Bharatam and 18 puranas only, mind got disturbed much,
The reason is Krishna, highest human incarnation and Radha, the highest
Devotee, are not explained by him, the Nivrutti was leftover untouched.
Narada advised Vyasa to write about their divine love to get eternal bliss.
Krishna was touched in Bharatam as establisher of Pravrutti-justice,
18 puranas explain mostly about the energetic incarnations of God,
Brahmasutras explained the subject of absolute unimaginable God,
Bhagavatam gives highest Nivrutti for which alone Krishna appeared.
This top most confusion must be analyzed in light of truth & full clarity,
The human incarnation is easily misunderstood as a normal human being,
The Nivrutti-devotee is misinterpreted as a mad human being, both these
Krishna and Radha get misrepresented as climax sinners as per Pravrutti.
Nivrutti and Pravrutti are mixed here to show that everything is Pravrutti,
Separation of both is essential, otherwise, the atheists climb climax of fight,
Nivrutti is the subject of unimaginable God in human form and a rare soul,
Pravrutti is the subject of the entire imaginable souls in imaginable world.
There is no need to argue with atheists, who negate even existence of God,
Only argument that can be given for them is about unimaginable miracles,
They passover these miracles without the sharpest observation and analysis
Scientists can be convinced since they study miracles with the utmost care.
Once basic faith in God exists, we can develop both Pravrutti and Nivrutti,
Both are based on this existence of God only, His unimaginable miracles,
His unimaginable knowledge and His unimaginable love to devoted souls
Stand indicating the ultimate unimaginable God, as the divine basic proof.
Miracles can be used to filter God from all ordinary souls in the first stage,
If demonic souls compete with God by doing miracles, second filtration is
Applied to eliminate them by miraculous knowledge and miraculous love,
Separation of both fields is essential especially in earth, common ground.
Veda says that Nivrutti and Pravrutti are totally different and opposite[10]
Like north and south poles, further says that the Nivrutti is the highest
Flying in the sky and Pravrutti is traveling on ground, a human soul is
Confused by both, only scholars can differentiate both by sharp analysis.
First, Haalaahala poison came from churned sea, then only divine nectar,
Highest divine fruit follows severe test, omniscient God knows true love
Existing in real devotee, test only to show this real love to other devotees,
So that they will not blame God with reasonless partiality, as per the Gita[11].
Exposure of the real devotion also encourages other devotees in Nivrutti.
Internal beauty is suffering in sacrifice, external is surrender in service,
The last birth of any soul for salvation is a lady born in low caste only.
Ego of gender and caste must be crossed, Radha is Lord Shiva born as
Sage Durvasa, Shiva is the husband of Mohini or Vishnu or Krishna only!
Shiva and Vishnu love each other so much that both became the one entity,
Shiva as Radha is wife of Vishnu as Krishna, Vishnu as Mohini is the wife of
Shiva, both exchanged their positions, as Hanuman is also Shiva only,
He did not face the risk in the path of Nivrutti as faced by Radha, being male,
Hanuman as Shiva is reborn as female Radha to complete full risk in the test.
The love of God to the devotee is always true since God is the absolute truth,
False love coated by real love or real love coated by false love reaching God
Get immersed and dissolved like relative planes touching the absolute plane,
Sugar coated salt doll and salt coated sugar doll-both dissolve in the ocean!
Theoretical devotion with memories is the earth, practical devotion with
The service is sky, the specific spiritual path for a specific devotee shall be
Evolved by the devotee itself applying spiritual knowledge given by God,
Question paper is given by God, answer is to be written by the devotee only,
God does not supply secret answer since copying in this test is prohibited!
Once Radha went to Dwaraka from Brindavanam and took hot milk
From the hands of Rukmini, who was taking same hot milk everyday.
That day Krishna became red hot saying that He was in Radha's heart,
He was not in Rukmini's heart by her negligence of nearness to Him!
Radha realized that staying far improves love, never came to Dwaraka,
But, she was suffering very much in His absence and became very lean,
Later on, one day, Krishna met Radha and Gopikas on sea shore for bath
On the occasion of eclipse, Krishna was shocked to see Radha's condition.
Krishna advised her to come to Dwaraka now and then so that both
Extremes are avoided, nearness means constant nearness, not good,
That leads to negligence, far means not far forever, that leads to the
Mental agony, His miracle shown was misunderstood so by Radha.
Closeness and separation are the two extreme ways leading to the
Negligence and attraction respectively, no extreme way is correct,
Though Radha realized negligence by nearness and liked to be far,
She was visiting Dwaraka now and then in the middle golden path
Since her misunderstanding of the point in extreme was corrected.
Krishna was burning for Radha million times more than Radha burning
For that Krishna, this means that only Krishna shall go to Brindavanam,
But, Krishna never went to it, only Radha was coming to the Dwaraka,
The reason is that Radha understood the problem of her Lord Krishna.
Krishna recognized as the incarnation of God is constantly observed by
The divine sages, angels and several devotees on earth, God is the ideal,
All devoted souls can't understand climax of Nivrutti of God with Radha,
Understanding truth is very difficult, misunderstanding it is always easy.
Nearness gives negligence, staying far increases devotion, it is true
While the soul is in the spiritual path of Nivrutti, but, those devotees,
Who reached God are beyond this concept, the climax of devotion is
Unaffected by both, nearness or distance will not change the madness!
In Pravrutti or Nivrutti, secrecy is not sin if basic issue is not sin,
If basic issue is sinful, secrecy makes it a double sin, Shridhara is
A great commentator on the Bhagavatam, writes that there is no sin
Between Krishna and Gopikas since there was no leakage of sperm
In the internal sex between Krishna and Gopikas, no sin resulted!
This is not correct since external sex like embracing is also a sin,
Not only the internal sex, copulation, that gives pregnancy, it means
That internal sex using condom is not sin, love should be above all,
Rama refused sages to embrace Him as females since it is also sin.
Looking, touching, embracing and kissing happen to be external sex,
As per sage Vaatsaayana; both internal and external are sins if illegal,
Lakshmana couldn't recognize the jewels of Sita except both anklets
Since he never saw Sita above feet, while bowing to her feet everyday![12]
In Pravrutti illegal sex is serious sin with horrible punishment in hell.
Rama came as standing ideal for Pravrutti applied to souls only here.
Krishna came as God in Nivrutti to liberate sages trying for long time.
Rama and Krishna represent Pravrutti and Nivrutti like day and night.
Hence, this issue is to be treated based on the Nivrutti, totally different
From Pravrutti about God & human soul, sky & earth, light & darkness,
Between knowledge and devotion former may slip in the next birth, but,
Devotion being the emotional force can never slip, force-less may fade,
But, knowledge alone generates devotion, impression only from details.
Knowledge helps you to understand God more and more generating
More and more love to God, attraction to Me came from knowledge
Regarding Me and given by Me, knowledge is by brain, devotion is
By heart, service is by body, service alone is the plant yielding fruit,
Knowledge is water, basic need; devotion is fertilizer for its strength.
Knowledge is Vishnu, awareness, joins with Shiva, emotional power,
Sattvam mixes with tamas, correct decision mixes with the firmness,
Mother and father united generate the son, Brahma, rajas, the action[13],
Which is service, practical sacrifice, the force should be with talent,
Talent is given by the brain through sharp logical analysis of the soul.
Shiva, the fast emotional force, gave boon to devil called Bhasmasura,
Who tried to kill Him after attaining the power to do so from Shiva only!
Vishnu appeared as Mohini and killed devil by sweet secret death-dance,
Followers of Vishnu sit in house, followers of Shiva run without the path.
Gopikas had emotional love to Krishna, some came to God without
Hurting their families laid in deep sleep by highly intellectual talents,
Knowledge, not only created love to God, but also generated the way
To reach God secretly without hurting others & not disturbed by others.
Knowledge is the torch light to see God and also the safe path to Him!
Brain should always accompany the heart like minister with the king.
Devotion is the battery supplying power to the knowledge computer
And also to the tape recorder that plays an emotional and sweet song.
Brain is Shankara, heart is Ramanuja and body is Madhva, soul is
The instrument working with these three components to reach God,
Knowledge, devotion and service are the functions of these 3 parts,
Soul is to evolve its own way using these in its special atmosphere.
Soul is given full freedom to choose its goal either as Nivrutti or Pravrutti,
Before choosing its goal, the knowledge of goal, path and self-capacity is
Very essential called as the 'Triputi' or the 'Triad of spiritual knowledge',
Then only its success is sure, you have to cross worldly bonds in the path,
Which are the revolving whirlpools, straightness in journey is foolishness,
You have to take the curved paths like waves of kundalini-serpent in way.
Falling in worldly love and rising in divine love are ultimate facts,
But, in the divine love, rising is fruit, you should not have eye on it,
You must like deep fall only as suffering in sacrifice and surrender
In service, eyes be on fall only in serving God, slavery is the way!
Capitalism exploiting slavery, the socialism accepting service and the
Communism fighting for servants are to be examined in Pravrutti only.
Slavery is wrong in Pravrutti since this is involved with all equal souls,
In Nivrutti, slavery is called as 'Prapatti' by Madhva, its source is love or
Devotion called as 'Bhakti' by Ramanuja and its source is true knowledge
Called as 'Jnaana' by Shankara, this slavery is self chosen only in Nivrutti.
Penance means theoretical and practical devotions of soul to God,
Only theoretical devotion is projected in penance in these cinemas,
This devotion should be generated from intensive analysis of God,
Veda and Gita say that root source, knowledge, is that real penance[14].
Knowledge means knowing correctly all details of divine personality,
Details project truth, otherwise, false goals escape God by thin margin,
Love or devotion comes from such true knowledge only, love leads to
Practical sacrifice called as service, knowledge of world is Pravrutti,
Knowledge of God is Nivrutti, love and service are spontaneous steps.
One can easily travel by putting two legs on Pravrutti and Nivrutti,
Provided you maintain both these boats with same balanced speed,
Gita says that lotus is in water not entered by it[15], you can be in world,
Discharge your worldly duties, all love on God only, this is the yoga,
Yoga means the talent in work[16], singing while cycling is the best talent!
On long practice, you can do work very well without your mind in it,
One cooks the food while doing prayers, mind on God, food very tasty,
God and world do not clash with each other, it is up to your wish only,
To keep God or world in your heart, no force at all on your selection.
This yoga is for souls in Pravrutti wishing to sacrifice will and words
Only to God, rare soul in Nivrutti sacrifices work also to God totally,
Will is proportional to work, words come out even in absence of will,
From work only will is to be judged, test of God is always about work.
Love in worldly bonds is always selfish as said in Veda, one loves wife[17]
For his pleasure and vice-verse, love in bond with God is never selfish,
God never needs pleasure from outside as ocean of bliss, He loves you
Only for the sake of your pleasure, also love Him not for your pleasures.
Though there is no necessity to derive pleasure from outside since
He attained everything and nothing to attain more, He is pleased by
The sacrifice of devotee, like a king when a child gives him chocolate
Is pleased for its love to him, 'no need' means regarding the chocolate.
Unimaginable God comes in the human form into this human world
To give four fortunes to devotees craving for those, which are known
As vision, touch, talk and co-living, He is the God only for those few,
For others only human being preaching them as Pravrutti-messenger.
[1] Lord Rama promises that anyone surrendering to Him saying “I’m yours”, will be protected by Him. “Tavaasmitiyachate”—Valmiki Ramayanam. Lord Krishna also makes a similar promise the Bhagavad Gita saying that His devotee will never be harmed “Na me bhaktahprnashyati”.
[2] Lord Krishna says in the Gita that even if a sinner surrenders completely to Him, he should be regarded as a virtuous person since he shall soon be reformed to become an embodiment of virtue. “Apichet…Kshiprambhavatidharmatma”—Gita.
