BHIKSHU GEETHAM -2
BHIKSHU GEETHAM –UDHAVA MUKTHI
The Sathguru cleanses the sins and evils by means of Nama Japam. The Sathguru removes the illusion of ‘I ness and ‘my ness from our mind. The Nama Japam – chanting of Radhekrishna Namam and the divine mercy of Bhagavan Radhekrishna, with the divine blessings of Sathguru can bring in, wonders in our life. To this, neither our chanting nor we are responsible. It is only the power of Radhekrishna Namam and the blessings of Sathguru that brings in us, the divinity which lead us to success. Without the Sathguru’s blessings and the Manthropadesam – Radhekrishna Namam as given by Sathguru, nothing is possible. Krishna Bhagavan tells the story of a Brahmin who turned his life in to a true divine filled one. From the state of ordinary greedy man, he entered in to a true state of austerity, abandoning each and every luxury. Once upon a time in a place called AVANTHI DESAM, there lived a Brahmin. He was a mighty landlord. He was doing many other business and made substantial income from each and every business. He was fully aimed at minting money, minting more money and so on. He performed all kind of tactics and gimmicks and minted money like any thing. He became a mighty wealthy man. He was unfortunate. A Sathguru did not guide him. He never had any kind of desire for true inner harmony and peace. He was carried away in enjoying the worldly pleasures of sensual things. He was found of wealth, enjoying luxuries. For the minting of money, he toiled a lot. For night and day, he worked strenuously. During the young years, for making more and more money, he worked round the clock. For the sake of work, he missed his food, rest, inner peace etc., and all the necessary things for any one’s life. The basic things in accordance with nature are food, rest, inner harmony and peace, happy life. When money is in abundance, they should be utilized for the divine purpose. The money earned, when surrendered to a Sathguru, for performing divine things, will make our life a happier one, however small the sum may be. Bhagavan looks only a true and noble heart and not the quantum of money. The offerings, however small may be in money or value, when done with divine filled inner acceptance, will always reach the lotus feet of Bhagavan. Bhagavan is giving everything to us. He gives us food, shelter, dress, happy life, supporting people in the form of father, mother, sister, brother, relatives, friends, son, daughter, son-in law, daughter-in law etc., and Bhagavan allocates good food, sound sleep, true happiness to each and every one. But only those who are fortuned to get a Sathguru are leading the life in the way, as wished by Bhagavan. Rest of the world, just moves. Just moves from day to night and once again from night to day. Only night and day goes. No use of enjoying Night and Day, as given by Bhagavan, and as wished by Bhagavan in his divine filled joy. This wealthy man never utilized his money for divine things through a Sathguru. He never enjoyed his family life, happily. He kept himself a miser. For the want of more wealth, he even started to restrict the necessary enjoyments and entertainments. He becomes very strict and selfish to save each and every penny. Everything is stored and dumped in plenty. But, nothing was enjoyed. Neither he had time nor he had the mind to enjoy the things as bought by him. He kept himself occupied round the clock. He become perplexed, tensed, filled with full of inner agony and hidden sorrows. But he gave a false smile on his face. To carry on the show as a wealthy proud man, he made a show off as a happy enthusiastic man. He kept himself fully occupied, not to enjoy food, not to enjoy sleep, not to spend time with family, not to outstations of divine places of Sathguru’s, nothing and nothing stopped him. Nothing stopped him from becoming a workaholic, who works greedily night and day to mint money only. But, the money, which he fetched by toiling bight and day, never kept him calm. It only paved way for further wandering leading to agony and sorrow. He keeps on moving from one place to another and from one thing to another in search of money. His family life too became miserable. Living without luxuries is not miserable. Having all the luxuries but not able to enjoy them in a true proper way, is of course very MISERABLE.
It is like a man, who is sent away from a meal served with delicious items. He takes the delicious item nearer to the mouth. At that time, some one stops him from taking it. He is sent out with starved stomach filled with full of irresistible temptation. Having all the luxuries, but not the time and mind to enjoy them, is really very miserable. His family members too get affected.
Here this wealthy man gives much trouble to his family members, servants, and to the people who came for help. He rejected the Sadhu’s who come for Bhiksha (begging done for the purification of mankind, through the chanting of Namam- Nama Pracharam.) He neglected each and every one, who came for help. He never performed any divine Bhajan’s with a Sathguru, to please the Deva’s thereby bringing peace and prosperity to himself. He sucked a huge amount of work from the servants and gave them lower wages. He toiled them a lot. He minted huge amount of money through them, but never dispersed the money that is due to them for their extra labor. Thus he became a trouble -maker to himself and to the surroundings, namely wife, children, religious righteous people- Sadhu’s, divine boon giving Deva’s, divine holy people who come on pilgrimage, servants etc., A man who is not fortuned to have a Sathguru, guiding to the true path of Krishna Bhakthi becomes a trouble to himself and to the surroundings and to the mankind as a whole. This Brahmin will later on divert himself in to a poise pure divine filled Sadhu. Here a greedy person, who found of only money and who forsakes all the divine pleasures as bestowed by Bhagavan is represented in a single character, in the drama (drama of life) as a Brahmin wealthy man. This does not deals with religion, caste, or any kind of sect. It is a symbolic representation of greedy people who go after only money, and suffering from restlessness, tension, anxiety. The people who think, money is the only resort, and the final resort, and through money alone, we can get all kind of happiness means, they are the people who are represented in this character.
In his house, he never performed any divine things as that of organizing Sathsangam –Listening to the Preaching’s of a Sathguru, and listening to the divine Leela’s of Bhagavan. He never tasted the blessings coming from a Sathguru. He never spent at least a day, with the holy divine people Sadhu’s –Sathguru. He never even imagined in his mind about the divinity and the divine mercy of Bhagavan. His words, not even out of trembling, uttered the divine name of Bhagavan – Namely Namam. This body, which is the divine abode of Bhagavan, residing in our self is not always looked with care. The body is destroyable. It is temporary only. But, this body is a boon. Within this body, lies the ever joy giving Bhagavan. To enjoy the Bhagavath Anandham (divine happiness got by Krishna Bhakthi through Nama Japam), this body is the only tool. Without this body means, no one can enjoy the divine joy of Bhagavan. So this body and this life is a big treasure that we can always enjoy in a divine filled way, to our heart full. We are not burn to lead tension filled life. We are not born to just think only about the sins that are performed. We are born only to enjoy this present life happily through the chanting of Radhekrishna Namam, as given by our Sathguru – Poojya Shri Shri Amma. We are born to live. We are born to live in a true divine filled joyous state only. With these eyes, we can see the Darshan (divine sight) of Sathguru, who can shower the Krishna Bhakthi on to us. Eyes can see the divine Leela Avatharam’s of Bhagavan. This tongue can taste the sweetness of Nama Japam. The nose can smell the fragrance coming from the flowers that are surrendered at the divine feet of Bhagavan. With this ear, we can listen to the divine Leela’s of Bhagavan from the words of a Sathguru. And this preaching, received from a Sathguru, namely Sathsangam is of utmost beneficiary. The Sathsangam enjoyed for half a minute from a true Sadhu – Sathguru, can always lead us to Mukthi – Liberation. The Manthropadesam –Radhekrishna as given by our Sathguru –Poojya Shri Shri Amma is only for a fraction of second. This Radhekrishna Namam is the protection for us. The Sathsangam enjoyed for even a very small amount of time, say half of a minute, can also lead to mukthi. Here the Manthropadesam given by Sathguru is of very short duration. But this is an opening gateway to mukthi. With the ears, we can listen to the divine Leela’s of Bhagavan. The true divine joy got by listening to Sathsangam is incomparable. With the hands and legs, we can do humble service to Bhagavan and the Sathguru, who has shown us the true path of Krishna Bhakthi. Thus all the parts of the body are of supreme usefulness in enjoying, each and every happiness, of Bhagavan. Bhagavan has created our body only for enjoying true divine joy, in all the possible ways. All his creations namely eye, ear, nose, tongue, mouth, mind, hands, legs, and all the organs are made uniquely to enjoy the divine happiness. Just imagine without this body. No eyes means how come we can see Bhagavan. The Bhagavan’s colors, gestures, all his glories changes from time to time and we need 1000 eyes and not of 2 eyes, to see the divine beauty of Bhagavan Radhekrishna. Without nose, how come we can smell? The fragrance got by scents, are of no use. The fragrances coming from Thulasi (tulsi), which are surrendered at the divine feet of Bhagavan, are of supreme one. By accepting our self to a Sathguru, and through constant chanting of Radhekrishna Namam, we can smell the real fragrance of Bhagavan. Without the tongue and mouth how come we can taste the happiness of Nama Japam? For this Kali Yuga (our present life), the Nama Sankeerthanam (praising loudly the Namam of Bhagavan) is the only refuge, which can lead us to Mukthi – liberation. Without tongue, how can we chant, loudly? Without mouth and tongue, how come we praise loudly in singing loudly the glory of Bhagavan’s Namam? The tongue is created to taste the sweetness of Nama Japam. The mouth is created to sing loudly in praise of Bhagavan’s Namam namely, Nama Sankeerthanam. This alone can bring us true inner joy and true divine happiness.
The mind is the best thing, which is created by Bhagavan. This mind is the root cause for Bhandham (binding) and Moksham (liberation) too. People, all say, “My mind is tensed. My mind is filled with agony. No one understands me. No one understands my mentality. No one understands my inner feelings. No one is caring to listen to my mind. My mental tension is unbearable. Who knows about my mental agony, which I am facing now? Every one comes and goes. They laugh and pass the comments as they wish. Let them be in my position, and in my mindset. Then only they can appreciate my problem. We can listen to all these words from each and every one. Even from a school kid going to school, in the age of 2 or 3 years or even say one and a half year old too, we can hear the word ‘TENSION’ coming from their mouth.
The Sathguru cleanses the sins and evils by means of Nama Japam. The Sathguru removes the illusion of ‘I ness and ‘my ness from our mind.
