Pious!


Just read these lines again as again. As I read these line my heart is full, throat is choked and eyes are wet. If a devotee has to express his love for his Master, perhaps so elegant words are rare to find in this universe. Sri Tulsi Das has put them in Sri Ram charit Manas (Bal kand/first canto)

बंन्देउ
गुरुपद परम परागा, सुरुचि सुवास सरस अनुरागा
अमीय
मुरीमय चूरन चारू, समन सकल भव रज परिवारू || ||
सुकृति
शम्भुतन बिमल विभूति, मंजुल मंगल मोद प्रसुती
जनमन
मंजू मुकुर मल हरनि, किये तिलक गुण गन बस करनी || ||

Bandeu Gurupad Param Paraga, Suruchi Suwar saras anuraga |
Ameeya murimaya churan charu, Saman Sakal bhav raj pariwaru || 1 ||
Sukruti Shambhutana vimal vibhuti, Manjul mangal mod prasuti |
Janamana manju mukur mal harni, kiye tilak gun gan bas karni || 2 ||

मैं गुरु महाराज जी की चरण कमलों की धुल का वंदन करता हूँ जोकि सुख, सुगंध तथा अनुराग रूपी रस से पूर्ण है | वह अमरु मूल (संजीवनी जड़ी) का सुन्दर चूर्ण है, जो संपूर्ण रोगों के परिवार को नाश करने वाला है | वह रज पुन्यवान पुरुष शिवजी के शरीर पर सुशोभित निर्मल विभूति है और सुन्दर कल्याण और आनंद की जननी है | भक्त के मनरूपी सुन्दर दर्पण के मेल को दूर करने वाली है और इसके तिकल करने से गुणों के समूह को वश में करने वाली है |

I prostrate to the dust of my Master's feet. That beautiful dust is filled with fragrance and juice of love. It is the life rejuvenating medicine which destroy the whole family of all the diseases. It is present as ornament of the body of shiva and it is mother of all joy and bliss. It clears the dirt from the mind of devotee which is like a mirror and if wore as tilak (on forehead) one gain all the glorious virtues.

All glory To Gurudev!

Spiritual or self-help teaching is a slippery path to walk upon. Being a spiritual teacher comes with a danger that one can have a notion of knowing without knowing. For example, i t is one thing to intellectually understand yoga is good for the healthy body but then doing it every day to keep the body healthy is an entirely different thing. Similarly, it is one thing to understand the benefit of practicing acceptance for the peace of mind then to living the acceptance.  Let's  expand upon it a bit.

The first level of understanding is the intellectual understanding which is the most superficial one, like understanding of the mental phenomenon, methods of quietening the mind, and one can easily intellectually understand this knowledge or inner science which is very similar to the understanding of any other field like physics, chemistry, mathematics etc. Here the process mostly involves...

Sakshi-The Witness

There is wisdom beyond every event. There is love beyond every person. There is infinity beyond every object. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar These are beautiful lines spoken by world renowned spiritual leader and humanitarian Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Though sounds very simple but these few lines are impregnated with vast wisdom which immediately bring the shift in consciousness by little dwelling. Other significance of these ' sutras ', the tenets of wisdom is that it covers most of mind stuff/activity/thought. If carefully deliberated one find mind dwells either on events, people or objects most of the times and all most all over conflicts whether personal or otherwise can be attributed to these three dimension of existence namely events, people and objects. Interestingly, events, people and objects brings two kinds of experiences, pleasurable or miserable. When these attributes brings pleasurable experience mind develop craving for those events, people or objects (e.g. partyin...
