Thought for the Day
True Prema does not require body or marriage; feelings alone are enough.
AWARENESS ARTICLE # 24
Here Swami gives a stern and severe warning.How many times willyou be
born and die? The purpose of birth is to attain the Absolute,
Poornam. Until that
time, the cycle of birthand deathwill continue, never coming to an end. No other
Avatar has descended and explained all to humanity
so beautifully. The greatest
Avatar came here and taught this to all. Enough of rolling with this ‘I and mine’!
Awake!
In
the Krishna Avatar, He preached all through these small events.However,
at that time, the
people thought all this was His leela and sport. Swami has now come
here and preaches
the inner meaning of all. This Avatar has never come to the world
before. He is the embodiment of all gods and goddesses, in One form.Through His
compassion for the
people of Kali Yuga,He took Advent.
Do not miss this chance.
Again
Yashoda tells Radha,
… Sofar,I was under the influence
of ego and ignorance. You have
removed them and opened my eyes. There may be many in this world
who would love Krishna
more than me. But, due to my ignorance, I
thought
my love for Krishna was the greatest.This
is my mistake. Kindly
teach
me the path of love that you follow…
Yashoda tells Radha that she has openedher eyes andasks her to tell about
her love for
Krishna clearly. All are in the same state and say, ‘I am close to Swami!
Swami speaks to me! I am the highest
devotee!’ Where there is ego, ignorance is
there.Itis
even thereinthe big devotees of God. It is God alone who knows who is
the real devotee.
Let us see what Radha said in her reply,
…
This is not something that someone can teach you or give you. Once
you realize
your true Self and have total faith in Krishna,
this love will
automatically
develop in you.
If you are hungry,
no one else can eat for you and satisfy
your hunger.You
yourselfmust eat. In the same way, this highest
devotion orPremacannot be given to
others. The only requirement for it is spiritual hunger.
One must cry and wail for
God. It is only thenGod will come near to you.
