Part 4 and 5 - Gratitude For God and Seeing Everything Belonging to God | - 6 Conditions for Surrender by Swami Mukundanand

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmVFN-wAw4 *Full Text*  1  Now the fourth point of surrender, is to feel gratitude for all the graces we have already received from God. The final grace we are desirous of, Is that which will lead us souls to liberation from maya and God realization, but on the way we have received so many God’s graces  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmVFN-wAw4&t=4  2  “verse” the human form we got was by the grace of God and then the earth we live in, the air we breathe, the light we receive - all this is His grace, we must feel gratitude to God. Father does so much for the son, tell the son to feel grateful,  the son responds why should I feel grateful, my father is doing his duty, his father did for him he is doing for me, you will say this is “kritaghni” (कृतघन) ingratitude (not to feel thankful)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmVFN-wAw4&t=30  3  similarly God has bestowed so many graces - at least feel gratitude to Him, it is He who has bestowed life upon us, without Him, we would not have existed, without Him, we cannot eat, all that we eat is His prasad, whether you offer it or you don't offer to God, it is still prasad  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmVFN-wAw4&t=75  4  one lady she bought a meal for me, so I said, “devi ji, who made this sabzi” ? she said “swami ji, I made it”, I said, “you made it ? did you make the “aloo” (potato) or did you make the “gobi” (cauliflower)”, No, that my husband got from Walmart, I only cleaned it and cooked it, so who made it ?  It is God's technology that transformed mud into potatoes and cabbages. Is there anybody else on this planet earth, who has set up such a factory that from this side you have mud going in, on other side you've got potatoes and vegetables coming out ?  This technology is only with God which means everything we are eating is all His grace, so fill your heart with gratitude that is the fourth point of surrender  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmVFN-wAw4&t=102  5  and the fifth point of surrender is to see all you have as belonging to Him (God), give up the sense of proprietorship, this “verse” says if you adopt two syllables, you will be in bondage, but if you change them to three syllables you will get liberated  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmVFN-wAw4&t=166  6  what are the two syllables ? “Mameiti” , i.e., mera (mine), mera (mine), now change it to mera nahin “Na Mameiti”, you will be liberated. The concept that we have “this is mine”, “that is mine” - this is all ignorance because we will leave it all one day and go away  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmVFN-wAw4&t=202  7  Ramakrishna Paramhansa used to say that God smiles on two occasionhe first time He smiles is when the child is sick and the mother is crying, the doctor has come and the doctor says to the mother “don't worry, I will save your child.”  God smiles “Mr Doctor, is life and death decided by you or by Me”? you can only treat, I will cure or not, cure is in My hands  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmVFN-wAw4&t=225  8  and the second time God smiles is when two brothers divide their father's property, they measure the land, construct the fences and put up boards, one says “this is mine” the other says “this is mine” - God says “what is yours ? you came empty-handed in this world & you will go back empty-handed”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmVFN-wAw4&t=261  9  One billionaire said, “I owned so much in the World, precious stones and gems and gold and silver “दुनिया में खूब कमाया, क्या हीरे क्या मोती, क्या लेकिन क्या करें यारों, कफन में जेब नहीं होती” the shroud doesn't have a pocket, I was not able to take anything”  - in fact even if the shroud had a pocket, in the cremation ground it would have been burned, when you came you were empty-handed when you go that is how you shall go from the world as everything in it belongs to God  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgmVFN-wAw4&t=300  Transcript 0:04 now the fourth point of surrender what 0:08 is this to feel gratitude for all the 0:13 graces we have already received see that 0:19 is the final grace we are desirous of 0:22 which will lead to liberation from Maya 0:25 and God realization but on the way we 0:28 have received so many graces  0:30 “verse”  0:36 the human form we 0:40 got was by the grace of God and then the 0:46 earth we live in the air we breathe the 0:50 light we receive all this is His grace 0:55 feel gratitude 0:58 now father does so much for the son tell 1:01 the son feel grateful the son responds 1:06 why should I feel grateful my father is 1:09 doing his duty his father did for him he 1:12 is doing for me, you will say this is 1:15 “kritaghni” (कृतघन) ingratitude similarly God 1:20 has bestowed so many graces at least 1:23 feel gratitude it is he who has bestowed 1:28 life upon us without him we would not 1:32 have existed without him we cannot eat 1:37 all that we eat is Prasad whether you 1:40 offer it or you don't it is still Prasad  1:42 one lady she bought a meal for me so I 1:46 said devi ji who made this sabzi 1:50 she said swami ji i made it i said you 1:54 made it did you make the “aloo” (potato) or did you 1:57 make the “gobi” (cauliflower), no, that my husband got from 2:01 Walmart 2:02 I only cleaned it and cooked it so who 2:05 made it it is God's technology that 2:10 transformed mud into 2:13 potatoes and cabbages is there anybody 2:17 else on this planet earth who has set up 2:21 such a factory that from this side you 2:23 have mud going in on this side you've 2:26 got potatoes and vegetables coming out 2:29 this technology is only with God which 2:33 means everything we are eating is all 2:37 His grace so fill your heart with 2:41 gratitude that is the fourth point of 2:46 surrender and the fifth point of 2:49 surrender is see all you have as 2:53 belonging to him give up the sense of 2:58 proprietorship  3:14 this verse says two 3:16 syllables if you adopt you will be in 3:19 bondage change them to three syllables 3:22 you will get liberated what are the two 3:26 syllables “Mameiti” the mera (mine), mera 3:31 (mine), now change it to mera nahin “Na Mameiti”,  3:37 you will be liberated this concept we 3:41 have this is mine this is mine this is 3:43 all ignorance because we will leave it 3:45 all one day and go away Ramakrishna 3:50 Paramhansa used to say that God smiles on  3:52 two occasions the first time He smiles is  3:56 when the child is sick and the mother is 3:59 crying the doctor has come and the 4:03 doctor says to the mother “don't worry, I 4:05 will save your child” 4:08 God smiles “Mr Doctor, is life and 4:13 death decided by you or by Me”? you can 4:17 only treat I will cure or not cure it is 4:21 in my hands and the second time God 4:26 Smiles is 4:27 when two brothers divide their father's 4:30 Property, they measure the land construct 4:34 the fences and put up boards one says 4:39 this is mine the other says this is mine 4:43 God says what is yours you came 4:46 empty-handed in this world you will go 4:49 back empty-handed  4:52 5:00 One billionaire said I owned so much in the 5:03 world precious stones and gems and gold 5:06 and silver  “दुनिया में खूब कमाया, क्या हीरे क्या मोती, क्या लेकिन क्या करें यारों, कफन में जेब नहीं होती”  the shroud doesn't 5:23 have a pocket I was not able to take 5:26 anything in fact even if the shroud had 5:29 a pocket in the cremation ground it 5:31 would have been burned when you came you 5:35 were empty-handed when you go that is 5:37 how you shall go from the world as  5:39 everything in it belongs to God Standby link (in case youtube link does not work): Gratitude For God and Seeing Everything Belonging to God Part 4 and 5 - 6 Conditions for Surrender.mp4

How Do You Attain God? 3rd Point Of Surrender | Spirituality In Hinduism by Swami Mukundanand

How Do You Attain God? 3rd Point Of Surrender | Spirituality In Hinduism by Swami Mukundanand

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGH-2J6Bbds Main points :  1  third point in surrender to Krishna is then to have faith that He is protecting me. If he was not protecting me, how would I digest the food that I'm eating ?  Shri Krishna says in a later chapter there's a fire in the stomach “JatharAgni” that is so powerful it digests even Stone, if you happen to eat it - then that is His protection to us  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGH-2J6Bbds&t=0  2  He knows that we need oxygen to breathe and he has created the plants that produce oxygen for us, they are automatic air purifiers. So He has ensured that He is protecting us, so do not feel fearful, Oh, my God, what will happen ?  If you have an insurance policy, well & good - if you don't have an insurance Policy, well, you know that I'm in the Lord's hands, He is taking care of all the creatures in the world  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGH-2J6Bbds&t=34  3  the little ants are by the trillions and you don't find, O, my God, one billion ants there died - whatever they need is provided and the elephants they eat so much and He has equipped them for it, so we study this nature of elephants even in Odisha state which is an elephant country because the elephants used to very non-chalantly (casually, without any botheration) break our wall and come in inside and eat the gobhies (cauliflower), the vegetables,  and that's I saw, how God has equipped the elephant with such a fantastic memory that 365 days he goes to 365 places, because such a big creature, if he repeats places, people will be all ready and not only that when he comes nobody throws stones at him because we all know elephants can remember, he will remember you chucked a stone at me 20 years ago, alright, they've been known to finish people like that  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGH-2J6Bbds&t=71  4  so it is God who is protecting and this is when we are not fully surrendered and when we choose to surrender ourselves, have full faith like Draupadi did, then there'll be a more powerful and direct intervention  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGH-2J6Bbds&t=136  5  I have heard the story of Judge Swami. There used to be a judge Swami living in Haridwar, so he was previously a judge in Mathura and then he became a Swami but his story became very famous - how he became a Swami was quite astonishing.  There is a famous Bihari ji temple in Vrindavan and by the side of that, a Brahman used to live. He had to take a loan to get his daughter married and he took the loan from a sahukar, a Mahajan, money lender, so he was returning it in installments and the money lender would note it in front of him but at the end, he was also maintaining a fictitious account.  And when the whole payment was complete he said that you have not made any Payment, and he filed the case in the court. So now the appeal came from the court, the magistrate, he sent the clerk with the notice and the clerk came to meet the Brahman and said that you have not paid your Loan - he said, of course I've paid back my loan.  The clerk asked if there is any witness ? He said yes there is a witness, Bihari ji is a witness, Shri Krishna. So the matter came in front of the court and the judge said you have paid ? yes, I have paid. who is the witness - he said alright then, get him to the court. So the next hearing was decided and this Brahman cried and cried and cried before Shri Krishna in the temple and said You have to protect me.  So this is a real story, the judge opened the proceedings and the announcement was made because it was noted in the records that Bihari ji is a witness, Bihari hazir ho, nobody came, again the call went out, gawahi (witness) Bihari hazir ho, still nobody came and in the third call, one man walked up,  He was all covered in a blanket, and His face was also covered, so He came into the witness box and then He opened the blanket to look at the judge, and the pen fell out of the judge's hand. So the judge composed himself and said you have come to give witness and  the Man (Krishna actually) said “yes, this person has paid this much on this date, this much on this date, this much on this date, so judge said what is the proof, He said he's got another register inside in this particular cupboard, so the judge sent the police to do the inquiry, they found the register with all the payments, now the judge did pass the judgment in favor of the Brahman but he resigned,  So this is the third point of surrender which is to have full faith  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGH-2J6Bbds&t=158  Transcript 0:00 third point in surrender to Krishna is then 0:01 to have faith 0:04 that he is protecting me 0:09 if he was not protecting me how would I 0:12 digest the food that I'm eating 0:15 imagine this food gets digested Shri 0:19 Krishna says in a later chapter there's 0:21 a fire in the stomach “JatharAgni” 0:24 that is so powerful it digests even 0:28 Stone If you happen to eat it 0:31 then that is his protection to us 0:34 he knows that we need oxygen to breathe 0:38 and he has created the plants that 0:40 produce oxygen for us they are automatic 0:43 air purifiers 0:46 so he has ensured that he is protecting 0:49 us 0:51 so do not feel fearful 0:54 oh my God what will happen 0:58 if you have an insurance policy well & 1:00 good if you don't have an insurance 1:02 policy well you know I'm in the Lord's 1:05 hands 1:07 he is taking care of all the creatures 1:10 in the world  1:11 the little ants are by the trillions 1:15 and you don't find oh my God one billion 1:18 ants there died 1:20 whatever they need is provided and the 1:23 elephants they eat so much 1:26 and he has equipped them for it so we 1:30 study this nature of elephants even in 1:32 odisha which is elephant country because 1:35 the elephant used to very 1:37 non-chalantly break our wall and 1:40 come in inside and eat the gobhies (cauliflower) the 1:42 vegetables 1:43 and that's I saw how God has equipped 1:47 the elephant with such a fantastic 1:49 memory that 365 days he goes to 365 1:54 places 1:55 because such a big Creature if he 1:57 repeats people will be all ready 1:59 and not only that when he comes nobody 2:01 throws stones at him because we all know 2:04 elephants can remember he will remember 2:07 you chucked a stone at me 20 years ago 2:10 all right they've been known to finish 2:13 people like that 2:16 so it is God who is protecting and 2:21 this is when we are not fully 2:24 surrendered and when we choose to 2:27 surrender ourselves have full faith like 2:31 draupadi did then there'll be a more 2:34 powerful and direct intervention  2:38 I have heard the story of Judge Swami 2:42 there used to be a judge Swami living in 2:45 haridwar 2:47 so he was previously a judge in mathura 2:49 and then he became a Swami but his story 2:53 became very famous how he became a Swami 2:57 was quite astonishing 3:00 there is a famous bihari ji temple in 3:03 vrindavan and by the side of that, a 3:06 Brahman used to live 3:08 he had to take a loan to get his 3:11 daughter married and he took the loan 3:13 from a sahukar a mahajan money lender 3:18 so he was returning it in installments 3:22 and the money lender would note it in 3:24 front of him 3:26 but 3:28 at the end he was also maintaining a 3:32 fictitious account 3:33 and when the whole payment was complete 3:37 he said that you have not made any 3:40 payment and he filed the case in the 3:42 court 3:44 so now the appeal came from the court 3:48 the magistrate he sent the clerk with 3:51 the notice 3:52 and the clerk came to meet the Brahman 3:55 and said that you have not paid your 3:58 loan 3:59 he said of course I've paid back my loan 4:03 the clerk said is there any Witness 4:06 he said yes there is a witness 4:09 Bihari ji is a witness 4:12 Shri Krishna 4:13 so the matter came in front of the court 4:17 and the judge said you have paid yes I 4:20 have paid 4:21 who is the witness he said 4:23 all right then get him to the court 4:27 so the next hearing was decided and this 4:31 Brahman cried and cried and cried before 4:34 Shri Krishna 4:36 the temple and said no you have to 4:39 protect me 4:41 so this is a real story 4:44 the judge opened the proceedings 4:47 and the announcement was made because it 4:50 was noted in the records the bihari is a 4:52 witness 4:54 bihari hazir ho 4:58 nobody came 5:00 again the call went out gawahi Bihari hazir ho 5:04 still nobody came 5:07 and in the third 5:09 call 5:10 one man walked up 5:13 he was all covered in a blanket 5:18 and his face was also covered 5:22 so he came into the witness box 5:25 and then 5:26 he opened the blanket to look at the 5:29 judge 5:31 and the pen fell out of the judge's hand 5:35 so the judge composed himself 5:39 and said you have come to give Witness 5:42 and the man said yes 5:46 this person has paid this much on this 5:48 date this much on this date this much on 5:51 this date 5:52 so he said what is the proof he said 5:55 he's got another register inside in this 5:58 particular cupboard 6:00 so the judge sent the police to do the 6:04 inquiry they found the register with all 6:07 the payments 6:09 now the judge did pass the Judgment in 6:13 favor of the Brahman but 6:16 he resigned so this is the third 6:21 point of surrender which is to have full 6:24 faith Standby link (in case youtube link does not work): How Do You Attain God 3rd Point Of Surrender Spirituality In Hinduism Swami Mukundananda.mp4
