CHINMAYARASA:

The Taste of the Divine Consciousness

Swami gave a bookmark with the following words written onit:

Truth is the seed, moral conduct is the root,love is the water,

peace is the flower and bliss is the fruit...

Baba

I asked Swami about this.

27 April 2013 Meditation

Vasantha:Swami, what is this bookmark?

Swami:You write. Your life is the seed of Sathya Yuga. You are born from Truth.

End of meditation

Now let us see about this. I am born from Sathya, from Swami. My life is filled

with moral conduct only. Before, I never knew anything about the world. I could not

understand the nature of human beings. As I am born directly from God, I do not know

anything about this world. I know and have only one way, which is the path of morality.

I do not know anything other than this. I do not knowworldlybehavior. Love is the

water for this. For the seed of truth to grow, the water of love is required and necessary.

How can I change the world through this love?

Here isan example.A family gave me three saris. Yet, they were all different

colors; I could not wear any of them. The label and the price tagsonthemhad also been

removed. The only thing we knewwas the name of the shop,‘Pothys’, as it was on the

bag the saris came in.Yet, the saris were bought from their Kerala branch. Eddy and

Nicola had to go to Madurai the next day and I said, “If it is possible, try and change

them for another sari.”They then called me from the shop and said thatPothysagreed

to take the saris and gave them a credit note, which could be used at any time. I was

filled with wonder!

When they came in theevening,Eddy said theshopgave the money. That night I

contemplated,‘How did they give the money? The sari has no bill, noprice.Howcould

they give? Did they force them to give? I do not want anyone to be hurt in this way. I

thought I would send Amar in the morning and buy any sari. In the morning, when we

went to the Garbha Kottam I askedEddy, "How did they give the credit note so easil

y,

1

did you compel them?"I asked crying. Eddysaid, “Amma, we have learned the lesson

from you not tohurt others. We would never compel othersin this way.”Nicola said, “I

bought blousepieces in the shop and gave Eddy the money for the credit note.”

Who is Guru?  

On 4 June 2013, Swami gave another paper with

some drawings on. In the center an oil lamp, the flame

was red with a yellow surround. Above the light was a

five-pointed yellow star inside a ball of yellow light.

There was a Mangala Sutra inside the star at the top.

On either side of the star were two blue clouds making

four in total. On one side of the lamp was written Sai

and on the other Vasantha. Under the lamp, it said:

Guru is the Lord of the three worlds. He is Brahma, Vishnu and

Maheshwara

Now let us see about this. Guru is the Lord of the three worlds. They are known as

Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara. This trinity of gods is within the body of each one of

us. I wrote a chapter on this before. Everyone has Brahma within. Man himself creates

his own life through his deeds and desires. He creates each birth he takes. The actions,

desires and each thought become imprinted as samskaras or deep impressions. This

becomes man’s rebirth blue print. When he dies, this emerges as his creation.

Sai Krishna Leela

"I am unable to bear the separation from Swami and am crying continuously."

26 April 2013 Eveningmeditation

Vasantha:Swami, Swami!My Prabhu!

Swami:Do not cry, come, tell Me?

Vasantha:Swami, Rama separated from His wife and children for twelve years only.

You separated from the children and I from 1961! This is 52 years! Shall I

wait another fifty years?

Swami:Do not cry, sure I will come.

Vasantha:Has this happened in any place or any age before?

Swami:Do not cry, you are My devi. Sure I will come. I will write this. It is

through your tender feelings your body also becomes very soft. The two

things that have caused Me to suffer all these years are My separation

from you and the tears you cry. When I see you, I will run and hold you,

bathing you in My tears. Yet, I am afraid that nothing should happen to

your body at that time.

Vasantha:Swami, I cannot bear Your love.

Swami:Your body is so soft, if there is any pressure you are affected. So, I will be

very careful when I touch you.

End of meditation

Now let us see about this.No matter howmuch I write, I continue to cry in

separation from Swami. This is the reason why my body has been affected more. Rama

sent pregnant Sita to the forest. When her sons Lava andKushawere born, the three

stayed in theashram of Sage Valmiki. It was only after 12 years that Rama saw Sita

again and His children for the first time. Swami separated from us 52 years ago. He has

also not revealed who I am. It is for this I asked him, “How long must I wait?” Thinking

about this more,I cried and cried. This situation has never happened to any one in any

of the previous ages. Inanswer to the tears that I am crying, Swami said that when

we

1

    see each other for the first time, He will take hold of my hand and lead me to the house.

Swami added that He is afraid now, as when He holds me, my tender body will not be

able to bear His touch. It is in this way Swami shows His love. No other form of God has

ever shown love in this way openly. Swami does all in this way for the Avataric task. No

other incarnation has spoken as He has. The other Avatars were only in theWitness

state. This Avatarcame to show His feelings. The feelings of Swami and I go out and

change the world.

Chapter 48

FUNERAL & MARRIAGE - Same Day

My body is not well. Dots have again appeared on my scalp and my hair is falling

out. What should we do? Which doctor shall we consult? Today Swami gave a bouquet

of five lily flowers, which had five leaves. He also gave a box of turmeric, yet inside was

sandal powder. In the afternoon, I read the June issue of Sanathana Sarathi. Here many

devotees have written about their experiences. After reading, I began to cry and cry,

"Why don't I have such experiences?" All consoled me. 

Noon meditation

Swami :  Why are you crying in this way?

Vasantha :  I do not have such experiences. How much they have enjoyed.

Swami : None has had your experience. Theirs was only an outer experience.

Yours is within.

Vasantha :  Swami, I have no experience. What is the use in writing? You have also

not come.

Swami :  Sure I will come. 

Vasantha :  Swami we all discussed whether we should call the dentist or ENT doctor. 

Swami :  No. No doctor. All will be okay. 

Vasantha :  Should we go see Dr. Vijay Kumar or Dr. Ramaswami?

 Swami :  Both are the same. Take the medicine that they prescribe.

 Vasantha : Will You write which doctor or medicine? Till You come, write

something... a remedy for the difficulties in my body. What shall I do with

the sandal powder?

Swami :  At night, apply it on your body. Do the same during the day

.

1

Vasantha :  Swami what are the lily flowers?

Swami :  The entire Sathya Yuga is only our marriage. 

Vasantha :  Now I understand Swami.
