Bhagwan Sai's Pearls


Thought of the day !

Bhagwan BABA'S Pearls

Mathru Devo Bhava, Pithru Devo Bhava (Revere your mother and father as God). You must understand that parents are verily God. If you make your parents happy, the whole world will be happy. It is meaningless to worship God without revering one's own parents. First of all, offer worship to your mother as she is the one who has given you birth. It is because of the nobility of the mother that the children attain good fortune. The parents have given you their blood, their wealth and have brought you up with great love and care, sparing no pains. So, you must love your parents and be grateful to them. That is true Bhakti (devotion). There is no greater Bhakti than this.

To cultivate crops and reap rich harvest, the farmer clears the field of thorny plants and bushes, ploughs it, water it, sows select seeds, plucks out the weeds, fences it, sprays the crops with insecticides and finally, after undergoing all the struggles, reaps the harvest. To reap the harvest of precious joy in your heart, you too must remove the thorns and bushes of lust, anger, greed and envy. You must uproot them and remove them completely from your heart. The farmer does not allow the land to lie fallow. Similarly, through continuous good work, you must plough the field of your heart and fill the field with the water of Love. Select the special seed of your beloved Lord's Name and sow it in the field of your heart. Take discipline as the fence that will guard the crop from the cows and spray virtue as the pesticide. In this manner, foste r the field of your heart with great care and in due course, you can bring home the precious harvest of bliss (Ananda).
Divine Discourse, Mar 26, 1965.

Life has been bestowed to us not for just eating and digesting, roaming and reclining. It is gifted to us for a greater purpose - to realise the Divinity within us, around us and even beyond all things that strike our senses. To waste life in vain pursuits and in sense-pleasures is not the sign of an intelligent person. Deserve the Grace of the Lord by helping the weak and the poor, the diseased and the disabled, the distressed and the downtrodden. Do not laugh at anyone or take delight in insulting or in carrying tales demeaning others. There is no more heinous sin than hurting the feeling of others. You must develop two key qualities - fear of sin and deep devotion to God.
Divine Discourse, Jan 28, 1975.

The eye, the hands, the nose, the head and stomach, each look different and do one special task. Every organ has a different name and function; but they all serve the interest of one body to which they belong. They do not work at cross-purposes, do they? So too, each one of you is a limb in the body called the society. Do your work, without a murmur. Work in full co-operation with all. Then the society can be healthy and happy. Love, Love alone, can bind you to others and to God. God is the very embodiment of love.
Divine Discourse, Jan 28, 1975.

It may take several lives for you to prove that you know what is best for yourself, when you will be able to chalk your own future without harming yourself or others, and are aware of all pitfalls on the way. It is best to trust the experience of the sages, who were filled with compassion, and who were moved by that compassion to illumine the path of liberation. This experience is enshrined in the Vedas. Faith in the Vedas irrigates the heart and makes it yield the harvest of universal love.
Divine Discourse January 28, 1975.

Devotion to God is not to be calculated on the basis of the institutions one has started or helped, the temples that one has built or renovated, the donations one has given away, nor the number of times that one has written or recited the Name of the Lord. These are not vital at all, not even secondary. Devotion is Divine Love, unsullied by any tinge of desire for the benefit that flows from it, or the fruit of the action, or the consequence of that love. It is love that knows no particular season or reason. Its nature is such as the love of the soul for the Divine, the river for the sea, the creeper for the tree, the star for the sky, and the spring for the cliff down which it flows. It is sweet, in bad times as well as in good.
Divine Discourse, Feb 25, 1964

Your habits must change for the better. Your outlook must widen; your inward look must become deeper and more steady. You must realize the Omnipresence of God, and the Oneness of the Humanity. You must learn tolerance and patience, charity and service. You must determine to seek the higher, the richer and the more real experience of God-realization. I bless you that you may form that determination and striving step-by-step, achieve that Goal.
Divine Discourse, Feb 28, 1964.

Instead of saying a hundred things, it is better to do one thing properly. Sanctify your life by doing selfless work. For the person who talks a lot, there is no time for work. For the person who is engaged in work, there is no time to talk. Instead of wasting time in your words, use your time in service to mankind, which is service to God, all the while repeating the Name of the Lord.
Divine Discourse, Mar 31, 1975

Shri DHYANYOGI

Thought of the day !

This article courtesy of my colleague from Ahmedabad Gujarat Mr.Patel

My darshan of Bapuji the Yogiraj that became Shri Krishna during His life !


Shri Dhyanyogi Madhusudandasji was a great saint, whose search for spiritual enlightenment took place during and era in an India that no longer exist.

Born in Bihar, India, Shri Dhyanyogi was a very meditative child. His spiritual quest began at the age of seven when he ran away from home in search of God. Although his parents quickly found him, he left again for good at age 13.

He walked barefoot across India, in the 1890’s and early 1900’s through what were then jungles, but are now cleared and settle lands, meeting saints living in seclusion, completely detached from the mundane world.

He mastered Mantra, Yantra, Hatha, Raja and Jnana Yoga, and became adept at yogic philosophies and scriptures. Yet after 30 years of austerities and intense searching, he had not attained his highest goal, the ultimate encounter with God.

In 1921 on Mount Abu, His encounter with the great master, Yogiraj Parameshwardas, who gave him Shaktipat initiation. He immediately went into the highest state of samadhi, remained in that state for 3 days and attained the ultimate goal of God realization

By the grace and instructions of Shri Parameshwardas, Shri Dhyanyogiji became a master of Kundalini Maha Yoga, with the power to awaken the dormant Kundalini in spiritual aspirants. He founded an ashram at Bandhwad, Gujarat, India, where he carried his work and teachings. In 1960, Shri Dhyanyogiji was inspired to begin public instruction in Kundalini Maha Yoga and to conduct group meditation programs throughout India.

In 1976, as part of his mission to assist spiritual seekers, he came to America, where he initiated through Shaktipat thousands of Americans into the path of Dhyanyoga, or meditation and established centers from coast to coast.

He returned to India in 1980 and spent his remaining years in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. He left his body at the age of 116, entering Maha Samadhi on August 29, 1994, the anniversary of Lord Krishna.

Bapuji was Pure simple Love to the thousands of lives He touched.

DIVINE MOTHER


Thought of the day !

The Embodiment of Yoga-Swarup !

Mataji demonstrates extraordinary talents with the flexibility and elasticity of her body.

Many speak of Yoga, Many speak of Breath, Many speak of Kundalini Dhyan and Many speak of Billions of Dollars, my extensive research on these subjects, reminds me of the old proverb, being vocal in the spiritual and material bazaar is a low-cost commodity !

The Aquarian age is a testimony spirituality and yoga has become a subservient to colorless enthuiast ! 

Amidst the decline a subject that's precious to my Heart from my previous birth. Mataji's rays conveys hope to a tradition that's been evaporating with the stormy seas of time.

Extraordinary shakti channeling in the disciplines of Yoga Reiki and Healing.

Siddha Yoga - the path towards liberation and perfection. It is a mystical yoga technique, which brings about final perfection in the realization of Truth (God). The more one practices, the more one recognizes that our body is so peculiarly constructed as to contain chakras (psycho-energy centers). These can be stimulated by this unique blend of yoga and can awaken one’s higher spiritual facilities within.

The Guru, according to Siddha tradition, is an “authoritarian” of spiritual experience. A Guru alone is capable to unblock the stumbling blocks of ego and its self-made delusions. The ego enslaves the will and binds consciousness to the limited form. The vacillating state of consciousness renders man blind to the perception of ‘Truth’.

The consciousness of Guru is eternal ever wakeful, ever attuned, and an uninterrupted. Guru is the preceptor, the awakened the bestower of liberation. Abjuring one’s ego one realizes the greatness of the Guru. With the grace and guidance of Guru, the aspirant or student, while practicing Yoga, reaches where the nectar is being secreted. When one drinks it, one’s whole being will be activated with good fortune – youth, beauty, patience and good health.

Many miracles are reported of healing in the presence of Amma.

I have met a few Spiritual evolved being’s -- Amma compliments these prodigious souls.

Thought of the day !

May Amma’s light, light your light :-)

JAI GIRNARI

 
 
Thought of the day !

Mahamandaleshwar -- Param Pujya 1008 Swami Shri Vishambhar Bhartiji Maharaj
Girnar -- Junagad - Saurashtra

The journey to Junagad is like trekking to the end of the earth. I arrive at midnight after a stressful 10 hours to a deserted bus terminus. It was intimidating like the dark side of the moon. To compound my agony, late monsoons welcome me to a thunderous roar, to the lush flush and blush, Tapovan Bhoomi of the Sages.  It's a place where the daunting and the divine meet, left an indelible mark on my soul.

I was scared not knowing what to do at the terminus being alone. I crossed the street and asked for help from a man who was sleeping in an ancient bus, that was two centuries old. He was a kind young man explained to him my predicament. He was sympathetic to my plight, agreed to assist me, took me to his friend, who had a rickshaw that took me to the ashram. The ride was on gravel road and treacherous in the rain. Twenty minutes later reached the ashram at 12:35 a.m.

Mount Ginar home of Bapu - Bharti Ashram, occasion for darshan of a rare breed of Sat Guru's. They are in contemplation for many centuries on route to the top of the mountain, in solitary sanctuaries, the same as the Himalayas or Arunachalam.

Girnar is haven to immortal Dattatreya, climbing to the top of the mountain about six hours and ten thousand steps later, darshan of Dattatreya's padukas. The trinity incarnation referred to as Bhrama Vishnu Maheswara.

Sages the stature of Vela Bapa and Triloknath Maharaj lions of Girnar, one is compelled to take darshan of their samadi, feel the powerful vibrations of their tapasya.

It is significant to worship Guru's that have taken samadi, they have to demonstrate their omnipresence.

In the omnipresence, had my moment of spiritual glory and affirmation there is a realm beyond ours.
Bharti Bapu exemplifies this tradition.

I experienced and incredible wonder at Bapu's Ashram in Girnar, being alone in my room. I shared the miraculous encounter with Bapu in Ahmedabad. He pondered for a moment and replied in Gujarati, only G+d knows why these mystical events occur.

My darshan and Guru Puja of Bharti Bapu, performing abishekam of Maheshwara -- Sarkej India.

Spiritual consciousness divorces you from vanity and marriage's you to the Atma.
Life often reveals itself kindly and crudely digest both with dignity and equanimity.

Aum Sri Sai Ram Hari Om Tat Sat Jai Guru Deva Datta
Guru Krupa Hi Kevalam

Bharti Bapu Ki Jai Jai Kar
