வாழ்க்கையில் நடப்பதுதான் நடக்கும் என்கிறீர்கள். அதே சமயம் லட்சியம் வேண்டும் என்கிறீர்கள். முரண்பாடாக உள்ளதே ?

 

மஹாரண்யம் ஸ்ரீ ஸ்ரீ முரளீதர ஸ்வாமிஜி :

 

பிராரப்த கர்மாவை ஒட்டியே, ஒவ்வொருவருடைய வாழ்க்கையும் அமைகின்றது. அப்படி அமையும்பொழுது ஏமாற்றம், வெற்றி, தோல்வி, மகிழ்ச்சி, வியாதி, துக்கம், விபத்து போன்ற எவ்வளவோ சம்பவங்கள் சம்பவிக்கலாம். அப்படி சம்பவிக்கும் எல்லா நேரத்திலும், உணர்ச்சி வசப்படாமல் சமபுத்தியுடனும் விவேகத்துடனும், தெய்வத்தின் நாமத்தை விடாமல் சொல்லிக்கொண்டு இருக்க வேண்டும் என்பதையே லட்சியமாக கொள்ள வேண்டும்.

 

You tell that what ever will happen will only happen in our life. At the same time you also tell that we should have a goal. This look to be contradictory?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

Everything in one's life happens because of Prarabdha Karma. There can be many incidents like disappointment, success , failure , joy , disease , sorrow, accident etc that can occur. When these occur, we should be dispassionate and even-minded with a practical sense and should keep Chanting the Divine Names of the Lord, which should be our sole goal.

One who has no set goal has a wavering mind. His thoughts are multifold......whats the way out?

 

The more you chant, the closer you get to your goal

 

What is real happiness? True happiness lies within you. By merely removing ignorance this can be realized. The easiest way towards this goal is by chanting the Mahamantra.

 

The true purpose of our existence is to realize God in ourselves. No other purpose is equal to or more significant than this

 

Only the actions that are related to our body is bound by Prarabdham. There is no Prarabdham for mind. As a prudent person, it is only in our hands to control the mind.

 

Selfless friends from the GOD family  are working towards the common goal of nama prachar bearing my Vision to spread the bliss of the mahamantra everywhere in their hearts

 

In short, it should be perfectly relevant in the current day context, and absolutely practical; and yet yield us to the same goal.

 

In spirituality, perseverance is paramount. So keep continuing until the goal is reached.

 

We would remember something at the crucial time of death only if we practice remembering it all our life. That is why the easy dharma of 'Nama Sankirtan' is being advocated.

 

"I do not ask you all to give up anything. 'Hold Krishna' is what I say.

 

The only remedy is to put in more and more dedicated and sincere efforts. So continue chanting with strong faith.

 

One can attain the highest goal only through dedicated endeavors of japa.

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
