મહિમાની વાતો કરવી ને સાંભળવી...

(તા. ૦૮-૦૧-૨૦૦૮, મુંબઈ)
સારંગપુરમાં યુવા તાલીમ કેન્દ્રમાં અનેક યુવાનો જીવનઘડતરની તાલીમ મેળવી રહ્યા છે. આવા એક મુમુક્ષુના પત્રના ઉત્તરમાં સ્વામીશ્રીએ લખ્યું : 'ટ્રેનિંગ સેન્ટરમાં અભ્યાસ બરાબર કરજે, જે સેવા મળે એ મહિમાથી કરવી. સર્વે સંતોનો રાજીપો મેળવવો. સાથે રહીને દરેકનો મહિમા સમજીને અવગુણ ન જોતાં, સર્વના ગુણ જોવા, મહિમાની વાતો કરવી ને સાંભળવી. ઠાકોરજીનાં દર્શન અને સેવા બરાબર કરવા, આળસ ન રાખવી. આજ્ઞા-ઉપાસના, નિયમ-ધર્મ, કથાવાર્તાની વિશેષ દૃઢતા થાય, તેઓની વાતો સાંભળવી. નાનામોટાનો મહિમા સમજીને અભ્યાસ સારો કરવો.'

Gadhadã I-38: Mental Detachment

"Furthermore, a householder should engage in worldly activities physically, but mentally - just like the renunciant - he should also remain free of worldly desires and contemplate on God. Also, he should engage in social activities according to the command of God…"

[Gadhadã I-38]

Event

1859	9 Nov 1802	Tuesday	Devanand Swami born in Barol

1877	20 Nov 1820	Monday	Vachanamrut Kariyani-12 Describing the power of spiritual discourses, Shriji Maharaj says, "Regardless of how lustful, angry, greedy or lewd a person may be, if he listens to these types of discourses with faith and love, all of his flaws would be eradicated. For example, if a man with teeth strong enough to chew raw chana were to eat a great many sour mangoes, then he would not be able to chew even boiled rice. In the same way, if a person who is strongly overpowered by lust, anger, etc., were to listen to these discourses with faith and persistence, then that person would no longer be capable of indulging in the panchvishays.

1885	21 Nov 1828	Friday	Vachanamrut Gadhada III-27 Describing the bliss experienced by associating with God, Shriji Maharaj says, "The pleasures associated with sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touch are all found to co-exist in one place – the blissful and divine form of Purushottam Bhagwan. When we have the darshan of that form of God, we can enjoy the bliss of that beauty, as well as the bliss of the other four types of vishays, i.e., sounds, touch, etc. That gratification occurs simultaneously. With worldly vishays, however, when one indulges in one vishay, one receives the gratification of only that vishay, but not of the others. Thus the pleasures of worldly vishays are found separately. Moreover, those pleasures are futile, perishable and ultimately the cause of extreme misery. But in God, one enjoys the bliss of all of the vishays simultaneously. That bliss is extremely divine; it is eternal and imperishable. Therefore, a spiritual aspirant should develop vairagya towards the worldly vishays and become totally attached to the divine and blissful form of God.”
