Thought for the day
There is one Universal Consciousness. Our feelings connect us to that Universal Consciousness.
From the book Brahma Sutra
Before the construction of the Mukthi Stupi, we consulted the
Kagabujandar Nadi. The Nadi said that the sceptre of Mukthi acquired through
the penance of Venkatesh Rajan in the celestial court, and the Mukthi Stupi are
the same.
I was
born due to the prayers of my ancestors. Swami says the dharma pillar or Mukthi
Stupi, is the mirror image of Him, the sceptre of Truth. I am Swami’s mirror
image. The Nadi also says, “She, who has attained the half of God.” From the
time of my birth, I have searched only for God.
Through
my intense love for God, I have lived a life of righteousness and have attained
Him, merged in Him. For the one who has attained the Lord by following the path
of dharma, dharma now follows him. An example.
Though I desired to marry God, I was told that it was not possible and was
married in the normal way. This caused me great pain and I cried many tears.
After crying and yearning for over 46 years, Swami told me to compare my
wedding photograph, with a picture of Him in His youth. The form of the one
whom I married and Swami’s form looked like they were cast from the same mould.
Swami then said that dharma entered into the action of my marriage and that it
was He alone whom I had married. This proof shows that as I had followed
dharma, dharma followed me.
In February 2008 the naadis were consulted again. The texts confirm that
Swami was in the form of the one I married. I married only Swami.
In April 2003 Swami said, “Rama and Sita did not waver from the path of
dharma even in thought. Their life together defines Prema and exemplifies
chastity. The first syllable of Rama, ‘Ra’ and the second syllable ‘dha’ of
Seetha, unite to become Radha, you. You have fire like chastity. You have
offered everything to God. Due to this, the karmas of the world are burnt and
Universal Liberation is bestowed.”Swami
said that since I have sanctified my whole life in this way, dharma now follows
me. The scriptures teach dharma. Manu, the first man, lay down the codes of dharma;
it is called Manu dharma shastra. There is a code of dharma for each and
everyone. There is a dharma for a king, dharma for ministers, individual dharma
for men and women, political and social dharma. Dharma prevails only when each
follows his prescribed code of dharma. When dharma declines, God descends as
Avatar.
The cycle
of Nature revolves around man’s observance of dharma. When man performs actions
by walking on the path of dharma, rains come. When the rains come at the proper
time, the seasons follow as they should, crops and food are plentiful. Man is
sustained by and born through food. When he deviates from dharma, Nature is
affected. The harmony in Nature is disturbed and it shows its fury. At this
time, God descends as Avatar to establish dharma.Like the
cycle of Nature, the establishment of dharma also follows a recurring pattern.
In every Yuga, there is a need for the descent of the Avatar to establish
dharma. Why this repetition in the decline of dharma? Through inquiry, I found
that it is due to the lack of Prema. I am showing through my life that when
Dharma is followed with Prema as its basis, it will not be destroyed. Swami
refers to this when He said, “You laid a new path of Prema.”
