Thursday 24th January 2008 Mahadharmavarman Dr. Yogindrasinh Joshi and Dr. Vishakhaveera Joshi recited the 14th Chapter of Guru charitra in Sanskrit. While they were reciting P.P.Sadguru Aniruddha Bapu performed the ‘puja’ and ‘abhishek’ on Lord Dattaguru.
P.P. Sadguru Bapu’s Guidance || Hari Om || While walking in the Sun if there is no hat on your head and you have not worn goggles and you get some shelter under a tree or find a shade then man feels happy. happy. In the rains if man finds some shelter or an umbrella, man is happy. In winter if man gets a sweater or a shawl or gets shelter from the biting cold winds, then man feels happy. Truly speaking, all these three phenomena occur every year. It all depends upon your capacity to bear the heat. In the cold it depends on your capacity to endure the cold. While getting wet in the rains whether it will make any difference to you or not, depends on your physical strength to bear it. It does not mean that we should bear the scorching heat of the sun. But all these are external means of protection. At times we can see a person walking comfortably comfortably in the hot sun, it doesn’t affect him. While another person person uses goggles, wears hat or puts an onion under it and does many more things yet he gets a heat stroke- all this depends on each one’s physical disposition and each one’s habits. If one has the habit of walking barefooted and if walks without sandals on a stony ground it does not hurt him much but for a person who never walks without sandal it hurts him badly. This is the characteristic feature of habits. This means nature and man- the actions and reactions between them – just as there is the strength of nature similarly there is the strength of man as well. As there is the strength of nature so there is the strength of man along with the
surrounding circumstances and man’s habits, and the efforts he takes , whether he has the habit of walking bare footed or not. His habit, his practice, practice, these two two things are of great importance. They may be very simple things but if we do not have the practice, then we cannot perform it perfectly. Every year I tell you this, on the advent of Ganapati festival only on the earlier day (of the festival) the aarti books books are taken out. And then what what happens when we say the aarti’s. aarti’s. We know them because we have been singing them for years but we do not remember the first line of the stanza and then we just mumble something. something. Anybody who has the aarti aarti book in his hand says,”Lavthavthi” (the first word of the stanza) and then we start with the next word, ”Vikraal”. We get confused whether “Lambodar Pitambar” come first or “Ratnakhachit” comes first; let somebody say that word first then I will say. Every year we make it a point that next year we will take out the aarti book well in advance before the festival, read it and sing the aartis very sincerely. But it does not happen. And because of that the fervor that should come while singing the aartis, while looking at the deity, the fervor is therefore lacking. What will people say? How does it look? My dear, instead of thinking about others, it is better to think what God will feel about it. So what if you cannot sing? Let people laugh. Only their teeth will be seen. But I do not know the aartis, others are singing, I shall quietly clap, I shall peacefully look at the image of God; look at His ‘charan’ (feet) or I shall close my eyes and try to visualize His image. Let me try it sincerely but no, it does not happen so. These are the simple things which occur every year. But since we do not have the habit and since we have not practiced it, it does not happen the way it should be done every year. It does not happen the way we want it to happen every year. We know the story of Hemadpant in the Saisatcharitra, one day he decides that for next entire day, for twenty four hours hours from the time time he gets up, up, he should chant Ramnaam. Ramnaam. Therefore, while sleeping the earlier night he keeps on saying, “Ramnaam, Ram, Ram, Shree Ram, Ram Jai Ram”. Why? It’s so, my dear, that while sleeping in the the night the state of mind that we have that state flourishes more the next morning. morning. And then Baba Baba encouraged this beautiful resolution of his. Next day morning he heard Aurangabadkar Aurangabadkar singing singing Eknath’s bhajan on Ram.
Jw é H¥$nm§ OZ nm`mo _oao ^mB©, am_ {~Zm H$Nw> _mZV Zmhr A§Xa am_m, ~mha am_m ... Guru Krupanjana Payo mere bhai Ram bina Kachu manat nahi Andar Rama, Bahar Rama … (“You all get the grace of Ram, my dear; There is only Ram and none other;My inner world and outer world is Ram. ”) What was the need for Aurangabadkar to sing this very song ? But he was singing that very song; that too on that day. He knew hundreds of songs by heart but nevertheless when Hemadpant was passing that way why was this song sung by Aurangabadkar and heard by Hemadpant. It is all God’s doing. But Hemadpant practised it while going to sleep, made it a habit in his mind and and so he was able to recite Ramnaam Ramnaam as soon as he got up the next morning and that is why Saibaba gave him the response. In our life even in small matters we have bad habits. Apart from the big bad habits habits like drinking, in small things we make make many mistakes only because of our habits. We put off these small habits as they are of everyday matters. It’s all fine as long as nobody has pointed out anything. But even these small habits can be dangerous. It’s a very simple thing, our Bapu has told that when we go out of our house, when you go out anywhere, even when you go down in your building for
two minutes, apply “Udi on your forehead and then go out. Tell me how long does it take? Maximum two seconds. seconds. But do we do it? it? No. In the morning morning while going for for the work, we apply ‘Udi’. While going to bed we put it but we generally tend to forget because our stomach is full and we are in a hurry to go to sleep. It is a long journey from the morning morning when we get up till we go to bed at night but but it is a greater journey from the time we sleep at night till the time we get up in the morning. We are only concerned about this journey from the time we get up in the morning till the time we go to sleep. But about our journey from the time we fall of to sleep till we get up next morning – But Bapu what can we do about it? Knowingly unknowingly whatever happens during the day we know about it. But we are unaware of what happens during the night. At night the cells in our brain brain get rest because we do not not see with our active active eyes, we cannot hear anything with our ears, our brain is at peace. It is at this time that the events that take place during the entire day get get stored in their proper proper areas in the the brain and they get linked with old experiences and old memories. Tonight when you sleep, whatever events you have seen or taken place during during the entire day should they be linked linked to wrong old matters in your life or with good things?. This happens at night but what does it depend on? It depends on your attitude. If there is positive thinking, good attitude then whatever happen during the day the brain brain links it it with the good good experiences of of the past. If there is negative thinking and your attitude is not good then what happens? The events of your entire day, while you will sleep at night, gets linked to your bad and bitter experiences in the past. And then what happens? It It behaves like your mind, mind, if you are a positive thinker, it will make it positive for you. If you are a negative thinker, it will make it negative for you. While doing positive thinking the wrong things also are accepted in a positive manner and it then they grow. And this is not under our control and therefore, during the night, the matters that remain in your mind are pushed on to your sub-conscious mind. And once any matter enters the sub-conscious mind, I have always told you that it increases multifold times. Therefore, we have been told several times that while sleeping in the night after you have finished everything, you should remember Lord’s name and go to sleep. It’s because the Lord’s name has the strength s trength to change all your conduct into good conduct. And therefore naturally it has the strength to to impede the brain cells from being being connected to the brain brain centres or has the strength to connect with the brain centres. And this strength is known as good attitude or good conduct which comes from chanting of the Lord’s name and application of udi. When we apply this “Udi” at the “Adnyachakra” and also in the “Kanthakupa “Kanthakupachakra” chakra” which we also call the “Vishuddhachakra” and truly this centre is an impure one. We call it “Kanthakupachakra” and when we apply at both these places and put a bit of udi in the mouth thereby taking it inside our system then automatically it influences our feelings and attitude changing it into a positive positive state. And because because of this, our our brain brain becomes more strong during the night. night. The old and the new feelings feelings are shifted at night by the ‘Udi’ and the chanting of the Lord’s name and as such the wrong feelings are discarded and thrown aside and only the healthy and good feelings are taken inside. And this state of mind is of peace and contentment. And this this peace can be granted only by that Eternal Lord. Lord. The Lord who is Eternal can only bestow this to us. Today, we will worship and pray to the Eternal Lord for keeping our minds always healthy and peaceful. Unless it is healthy it cannot remain peaceful and unless it is peaceful, it cannot be healthy. healthy. Most of us know it, the the shloka from the Sundarkand. Sundarkand. || Hari Om ||
