The Divine Facts of
Life.
1)
I learned the feel of words through the seva or service to my Guru Sri
Vikraman Swamiji. The feel of words is one part of your consciousness or alert buddhi or intellect.
2)
Revelation of the essence or truth in each and every aspect takes place
on its own based on our readiness to accept the truth. One needs to practice it
to apply that knowledge of essence effectively on real time life events. This
is also a part of an alert intellect.
3)
The essence of Human Life is a) Faith in the God b) Devotion / Love for the God with patience.
The word patience is very important with respect to one’s difficult period
which can shake our faith and devotion towards the God.
4)
Surrender to the God completely, and then one can grow from limited to unlimited
ness within.
5)
Fear can be overcome by Faith in the God.
6)
The true Wealth is Faith and Devotion to the God and passing this
knowledge according to the times, situations, and places perfectly to the next
generation is the true wealth that one can contribute to this mother Earth.
7)
Classification or Division of knowledge or various types of knowledge
which helps humanity in many aspects should not be used as a means to bring
differences/ clash between human beings by saying as that knowledge belongs to
this place or community etc. Whatever may be the form of knowledge, it must
be used for the benefit of the humanity.
8)
All Religions are paths to the God. God is one and can not be many.
9)
Love is the beauty of Life which the God gifted to us. Enjoy and spread
that love.
10)

Jai Sri Rama
Thank God for
this beautiful life. Remember the God in all we do - by actions, by mind, by
heart, by soul. There lies beauty of Life. You can see the God presence
everywhere.
All our
experiences of the God happen by the blessings of Guru only.
Potato Chips:
One day I felt
from my heart that I want to offer delicious potato chips to Swamiji. But, I forgot it later and went to Swamiji’s Pooja conducted in Kuwait at Mr
S.P. Venkatesh residence. Swamiji was talking to so
many devotees present over there and asked me where are potato chips for me?
Then I told Swamiji, I forgot to bring and requested His permission to go and
bring potato chips. Swamiji said o.k to bring it.
There my excitement started. Before leaving the hall, I saw many devotees and
hence felt to give potato chips to devotees also. I went down with great joy
and brought potato chips. Alas! My wisdom failed, and I offered devotees first
the potato chips and then nicely offered to my Lord Swamiji. Then, my eyes were
looking only Swamiji to see that precious moment when He takes the chips. Time
was flowing but Swamiji did not touch it. I was observing His hands only, But
no use He did not touch chips for more than 45 minutes. Nothing was going in to
my mind on what Swamiji was talking and just watching only Swamiji when He was
going to pick up potato chips which I brought with so much love. Waited, waited
still no use. Then I prayed from my
Heart, Lord you asked for chips which I forgot to bring, but why are you not
taking it so far. What mistake I made that caused you not to touch. Weeping in
my Heart and asked Swamiji to let me know my mistake and then take the chips. The
moment I told this in my mind, the very
next flow of thought in my mind was, I did not offer Chips to the Lord first
where my wisdom failed. The moment this flashed in my mind, Swamiji hand went
to the potato chips plate, picked up one piece and went in to His mouth. All
happened instantaneously in a split of a second and I was blessed that Swamiji
made me to experience this. Swamiji made me realize that the God responds to
our Heart/ Devotion through Him.
This shows that
you can realize the God through any means. This is what Swamiji is doing with
every Devotee around the world.
Offering Food to
the Lord:
This was happened
with me in Kuwait some years back, may be before year 2000. One day I felt
strongly with devotion to feed my Lord Swamiji at my Home for all His days in
Kuwait. When we (my family) all went to pooja, with a
doubt whether Swamiji would agree or not, I just expressed to Swamiji to come
and have food at our place. Then, you know what Swamiji reply was?! - Yes, I am coming to your place not only
tomorrow but all the days during my stay in Kuwait which was exactly my wish in
my mind. There it is again, Swamiji replied to my Heart/ Devotion. Time and
again I am realizing the God in Swamiji.
Swamiji
responds to our Devotion- the issue could be anything.
Through
whom you realize the God is your God.
