Bhagavan In Spain

What do you mean by God???

God is not an Idol to worship only. God is the smile in every human being's face. The work which brings smile in our face, there lies God. But Worshiping God with an ugly face is just like acting as a machine. So we should do that work which brings smile on our face. There lies God. God is in every deeds. So feeling God in everything is important not to performing all the rules and rituals. 

Here lies the Truth

The great saint of India Swami Vivekananda once told- Man is marching from Truth to Truth not from error to Truth.
In our day to day life whatever we do irrespective of our work we search the Truth. All of us lead a life that is with Truth only. But we live relatively with lower Truth.
In our day-to-day life we use to say that Sun rises from east and sets on west. Actually neither the Sun rises nor does the Sun sets. The Sun is always in its original position. It’s the Earth which is rotating around the Sun. But according to our knowledge Sun rises from the East is Truth to us. So Truth varies on the manifestation of Knowledge.
As we are growing our knowledge is also refining in the different stages of our life. When we were in Kindergarten we studied A for apple and gradually we came to learn many things by using the letter “A”. So when we were in Kinder Garden the Truth to us was that ‘A’ only stands for Apple and as we grew our knowledge modified by different vowels and words.
When a lady is responding her husband then she is a wife and when she is answering her son she is a mother. So that is a wife as well as a mother, both the appearances are True.
No one in this world is completely perfect. And no one is imperfect also. We all are walking to be a perfect one. We fill a bottle till it becomes full. Just like that there will be scarcity in our life till we realize the taste of “Oneness.” No matter whether we are rich, whether we have enough money for our entertainment or not; at the end of the day we want more and more. Nothing can satisfy us because we always find the neck of the bottle is empty.
We have to look for our Source. In our search for Truth once we will surely find that there is only the Truth. And everything is the layer of our thought that lies over the Truth. It is like the dust lying on the mirror. For this we cannot see our Self. But that dust cannot harm the mirror. As we remove the dust we will see our Self again. The mirror remains the same. It is our thought which always creates problem. The Truth always remains the same and unchanged and untouched like a drop of oil on the water.
When we will end our journey we will find that we are not marching from the Truth to Truth, actually we are theTruth

Very few are there who really dares to conquer life. Most of us try to remain satisfied with what life has provided us. Our search in life mainly remains confined only with the fulfillment of our desire. We spend all our energy, knowledge, experience and time just to satisfy our desires. Is this the life should be?

May be we are a respected person in the society, but does our work and attitude towards life support this? If we try to meet this question with all our honesty most of us will feel that yes we are trapped with the web of our desires that we have so long been weaving. We had been on the run to fulfill our desires only.

Life is short. It’s better to wake up early. We should divert our consciousness towards a meaningful mean to meet the ultimate satisfaction in life. Our knowledge should mature itself enough to reach the optimum satisfaction. Then only we will live a worthy life.

In this world from the time ancient there came many great persons who showed us path to find the solution of life. The persons like Lord Rama, Lord Krishna, Lord Buddha, and Lord Jesus etc. Their path of life was for peace and prosperity. Some of us still may put an argument that it’s too old fashion solution of life. Then my simple answer will be- show me a life that worthy enough the life of such great men. I don’t think we can. So it will be better to start looking at the life with a new vision. Lets do what we were doing, enjoy what we were enjoying but just add that extra vision of life which the great men taught from time immemorial.

The teaching of them is not to walk out from the problems of life but to solve it. We have the right to enjoy and conquer life.

God is within us
It’s a story of a small town. There the inhabitants were jubilant as they were celebrating Mother Marry’s Birthday. The only church of the town was decorated very beautifully. On the very day, everyone of the town with all new dresses they started to come to church with gifts in their hand for mother Marry. There lived one infant teenage girl in that town too. She was very poor. She uses to show gymnastics in the streets to earn her livelihood. On that very day that girl also went to the church with her best dress and in empty hand. But the gatekeeper stopped her on the gate as her dress was not good enough for the occasion though it was her best dress and moreover she was without gift for mother.
The girl repeatedly pleads the gatekeeper to allow her inside. Even her tears couldn’t yield any result. She then with her broken heart slowly went back to the garden of the church where there is a very beautiful statue of mother Marry. Sitting beside the statue she wiped a lot and prayed to mother to forgive her as she has nothing to offer. She then thought – I can show gymnastics to mother. That is the only thing she is capable of. So she stated her show in front of the statue of mother.
In the meantime, the father of the church noticed tears in the eyes of mother. Father thought, how this is possible. There must have been something wrong. He asked everyone if they can identify something wrong. Everybody started looking for something which might have caused mother shedding tears. Within a short time Father noticed that very girl in front of the statue of mother doing the tricks of gymnasts. Father approached the girl and asked what she is doing. She replied that she is doing to please mother as she has nothing else to offer her.
Father understood the wrong. Mother’s child cannot be left behind in the celebration.
This simple story has a deep meaning. We are always busy in worshipping God with different rhymes and rituals but we forget to love God. God is not just an idol. God is within us. God is for everyone. Only to Him money or status doesn’t matter. We can love Him with what we have. We gift Him food, flowers, cloths etc. but we keep away ourselves. We are the most beautiful creation of Him. Can we say that God has created all the rules and regulations that we maintain?
There are no rules to please Him. The main thing is devotion that we can gift Him. He will love us in every condition.
Sun is unable to do any partiality with all the creatures of the world. It depends on our ability to grasps the energy from the Sun. Like that it depends on us to being loved by God. His love is superior to everything in the world because only He stays with us in every condition.
We cannot hear His voice as we are busy with this materialistic world. He is really there and if we cry like that poor girl we will also get the divine touch of Him

Vedanta in use

A child starts going school at an early age of four years. His parent starts showing the things around so that the child gets accustomed with the nature and civilization. From the childhood we try to construct their mind. A child starts getting training to know the world around. This is how our character is created. As we don’t know our Self we can’t lead a prosperous life. We do know the world and its attire but we are not sure about our Self. It is our poor knowledge which leads us in the path of confusion, desperation, depression etc.
Vedanta is the subject which let us know that everything is inside, within us. From there we get the power to work. We think the work we do or the things we use or the entertainment we enjoy gives us pleasure. But actually pleasure comes from inside. It does not depend on any thing or work we are dealing with. If the work or amusement can gives us any pleasure then it would have been permanent. Is it so? Do we always enjoy pleasure within us by doing any work or having something? It is not so. We have to plan again and again for something new to get happiness back to us again. This is because we are unaware of Self. We have learnt to enjoy, but from where this enjoyment is coming? We don’t know the source of our pleasure and we depend on the external things.
Vedanta teaches us to complete every path we are marching on. Spirituality is not a dry thing. It teaches us to enjoy fully. Vedanta teaches how to enjoy the life to its full. The knowledge of Vedanta transforms one from a brute man to a Buddha man. It will give the taste of Oneness. This will remove the limitations of us and will present one a big reason to be happy always and i.e. “You are the Brahman or Atman or the King.” Then only we can do whatever we want. Everything is within us. This will increase our will power. From our childhood we hear from others that we are small, we are limited, and we use to have depended on some external power to lead a healthy life. But by knowing that we are the Brahman or Self and by realizing that we actually become free. Then we are not a slave of our mind any more. We are free. We are free to do everything. We are free to enjoy life without being sad or depressed. We then find no confusion with us any more. All the decisions comes from inside. For our disturbed mind we are unknown to that. This will show us the light to walk on the right path. We even don’t have to depend on anyone; we even don’t have to think whether we are right or wrong. When we will get the touch of Supreme in spite of many barriers we will see that we can march on and on freely.
