EXAMPLES GIVEN BY SWAMI
EXAMPLES GIVEN BY SWAMI TO EXPLAIN THE DIFFICULT POINTS WHICH ARE VERY USEFUL TO ALL OF US:
PEACE-
Now a days everybody is telling-I don't have mental peace.i am tired.i want peace.Here swami has compared the peace with a gift.He tells that the gift given to you by someone is kept in a corton and covered with a wrapper.To see the gift you have to remove the wrapper and open the carton.then only you can see,touch and keep the gift ina nice place in your show case.In the same manner the gift i.e, peace is found by removing the wrapper i.e, EGO (ahankaaram)and by opening the corton i.e, desire ( want). So you remove "I AND WANT "then the gift of peace Is ready for you
FEEL OR EXPERINCE THE GOD :-
Swami tells that your chanting the slokams, ashtotrams, & sahasaranamas of your favourite god/godess you read so many scriptures about god but how long you do this??
When you are not able feel or experience the god you should try to feel or experine god wherever you are because GOD IS OMNI PRESENT .
HE IS PRESENT IN SPACE
HE IS PRESENT IN AIR
HE IS PRESENT IN FIRE
HE IS PRESENT IN WATER
HE IS PRESENT IN EARTH
HE IS PRESENT IN SUN
HE IS PRESENT IN MOON
HE IS PRESENT IN STARS
HE IS PRESENT IN TREES
&
SO ON………….
There is a slokam in bhagavad gita –
" GYNAATHUM DRASHTUM CHA THATHVENA PRAVESHTUM "
To understand this line for a common man is very difficult but swami explains this in an easy way to understand and follow , A THING WHICH YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT FIRST YOU TRY TO KNOW THEN YOU SEE IT AND THEN ONLY YOU FEEL IT...
For eg:- suppose you don't know about rasagulla your friend tells about it that it is a sweet white in colour,& round in shape etc…& then you come to know about it but till you see it you cannot imagine after seeing also if you eat only you can experience it in the same manner you chant , read , about god at the same time you feel the god also he has given you so many important & useful organs in your body like eyes , ears, nose,tongue , hands , legs etc… we cannot see the inner part so atleast we should use the outer parts properly use then for social service charity starts from home so you start serving your home first then your society then you feel how lucky we are.. THE GOD ID PRESENT EVERYWHERE then only your chanting of slokams , reading books will be meaningful.
