The greatest dacoit, God, enters through his ears into the heart

Nama Article 8th May 2008
 

Parable of Swami Sivananda

 

There was very rich millionaire in a small town. One night, as he and his family-members were all asleep, a sound was heard. A very strong and powerful dacoit entered the house through a hole made in the wall. Before his strength, the millionaire and his family could do nothing. The robber mercilessly killed them all and himself took possession of the house and the wealth.

 

Filled with a thousand kinds of Abhimanas resides the ego in man's heart. A sound is heard. The Lord's Name is sung by Sadhu and Mahatma, and this man hears. That is all. The greatest dacoit, God, enters through his ears into the heart, and, there, ruthlessly annihilates his egoism and his very big family composed of Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada, Matsarya and all kinds of Abhimanas; and the Lord Himself takes possession of the heart and the mind with its vast riches of talents and intelligence.
