Thougth for the Day

The revelation of Truth does not happen so easily. One has to be entirely pure.

Lord,

See through me

Hear through me

Feel through me

Work through me

Speak through me

Let me empty my ‘Self’, so like Krishna’s flute,

You can use me and play a beautiful tune through me.

'Be a zero, be a hero'.

Swami then wrote, ‘Hear through me’. God never hears bad words. This is the state of one who has fully emptied himself. One only hears the words of God. What are God’s words? Japa, meditation and bhajan are all about God. What did Swami hear in Prasanthi Nilayam for 84 years? Only Veda and mantra chanting. All was only about God, Him. There were no other sounds, like those heard in a market place! There was no sound of one man challenging another, as happens around politicians. Whatever we must not hear, should not come to our ears.
Sanyasis are always alone. They have no connection with others. Their ears only hear the voice of God. Even the sound of the buzzing insect is the sweet melody of God. The sound of a birdcall, Nagarsankirtan. This is how they hear each and every sound. They live life in the same way, everywhere, whether in the forest or market place.
