What is the use if anyone who does not have devotion to Lord and has the knowledge of epics, Agama, sciences, Vedas and repeats mantras for attaining powers and is giving discourses for earning fame?

 

O Lord! Bless me with your auspicious grace of pure or desireless devotion as alms.

We have come to the garden to eat mangoes and not to count the number of trees and leaves

Nama Article 10th July 2008

 

Devotee:

 

What is the origin of the world according to the Sankhya philosophy?

 

Swami Papa Ramdas:

 

It is too philosophical a question for Ramdas to answer. Ramdas does not know any philosophy. He knows only that the world has come from God and ultimately it goes back to God. As Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa says, `We have come to the garden to eat mangoes and not to count the number of trees and leaves.

 

' We have come here to realise God, not to waste our time in thinking how and when the world was created. When you go to buy milk, there is no need for you to ask the milkman as to how many cows he has, how much he paid for them, where and how they are fed, etc. Your job is to get the milk and return home.

"What message does this beggar have to give, to people abroad. I am not so great. Ramakrishna, Vivekananda, Aurobindo, Ramatirtha, Ramadas, Ramana, J.K., all are great and they have given their messages. Whatever messages they have given is MY FATHER's message.

 

This beggar has no other message to give. Let them remember the name of Rama, Krishna and Shiva."

Heights of escapism

Nama Article 4th July 2008

Heights of escapism

 

It has been said that a person can attain Jnana through any of the following means:

 

- by practicing 'Atma Vichara' (contemplating the Self)

- by renouncing the world and taking to the jungle, acquiring determination and dispassion and meditating

- by performing various rituals and rigorous austerities

- by following the steps shown by Raja Yoga  - practicing 'Pranayama' (breath control), observances like celibacy etc.

 

When people hear this, they complain that the Lord is merciless because the path to attain Him is so complex and difficult.

 

We say that the same state of Liberation can be attained by merely chanting the Divine Names without any restrictions or regulations whatsoever.

 

Those who complained earlier now start doubting the effectiveness of this path because it is so simple!

 

This only shows the attitude finding excuses – escapism from attaining the real purpose of life.
