भगवान ने हमें मोह - माया में क्यों डाला है | Why has God put us in illusion by Swami Mukundanand

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_FJRTVM3g Full Text 1  मान लो कि स्त्री पति का झगड़ा हो गया, भाई भाई का धोखा हो गया, कारोबार धंधे में घाटा हो गया, स्वास्थ्य हानी हो गई, ये सब जब माया झापड़ लगती है, जीव कहता है, भई ये संसार तो बेकार है, वह महात्मा जी कह रहे थे, एक भगवान है, वही ठीक होगा https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_FJRTVM3g&t=16  2  तो यह माया नौकरानी बड़ी कमाल की है, यह माया भी भगवान की शक्ति होने के करण उनसे अभिन्न है, वेदांत दर्शन ने सूत्र बनाया है “verse” देखो भगवान आलोक का स्रोत हैं, वह “हैलोजन (Halogen)” वहां जल रहा है, लेकिन उसकी light यहां तक पहुंची हुई है  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_FJRTVM3g&t=41  3  इसी प्रकार से आत्मा निवास तो एक जगह करती है, लेकिन अपनी चेतना को शरीर में फैलाया हुआ है, तो पूरा आपका शरीर चेतन बन गया, यहां पर कांटा चुभा, क्या हो गया ? दर्द हो रहा है, चेतना है यहां पे,  क्यों जी, आत्मा हृदय में, चेतन यहां तक कैसे फेल गई ? वो आत्मा एक जगह होते हुए सर्वत्र चेतना फैला देती है, लेकिन फिर कोई प्रश्न करे कि आत्मा एक जगह से पूरे शरीर को कैसे चेतन कर देती है ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_FJRTVM3g&t=76  4  वेद व्यास ने एक दूसरा वेदांत सूत्र लिखा है इसी का उत्तर देने के लिए “verse“, आप ललाट (माथा) पर चंदन लगाइए, पूरे शरीर में शीतलता आ जाएगी चंदन एक जगह लगाया, पूरे शरीर में शीतलता फैल गई,  देखो, जैसे सुगंध फूल में होती है, किंतु यदि बगीचे में बढ़िया फूल लगे हों पूरा बगीचा महक जाता है, वो फूल अपनी सुगंधी को बगीचे में भी transfer कर देता है, तो इस प्रकार से हमारी आत्मा चेतन है, तो चेतन होने के नाते हम, महा चेतन भगवान के सजातिय हैं दोनों की एक जाति है तो हम क्या भगवान से अभिन्न हैं ? बिल्कुल यह भेद-आभेद वाला संबंध है, हम भगवान हैं ?  ऐसा नहीं, मगर भगवान से अभिन्न हैं, जैसे सूर्य और उसकी किरणें, तो किरण को भी सूर्य में ही मान लेते हैं इसका मतलब सूर्य की किरणों को हम सूर्य से अभिन्न मानते हैं, और एक ही हैं, तो ऐसे ही, जीव भगवान की शक्ति का अंश होने के नाते, जीव भी भगवान से अभिन्न है  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_FJRTVM3g&t=124  5  और माया को देख लें, यह माया शक्ति जो है यह भगवान की विजातीय है, विजातीय मतलब अब ये विपरीत जाति वाली हो गई क्योंकि भगवान महा चेतन और माया जड़ है, कोई कहे साहब माया तो इतना कमाल करती है ये जड़ है ?  वही चिमटे वाला सिद्धांत, प्रेरणा भगवान की पाकर माया ऐसा कमल करती है, “verse”, सब को माया ने परेशान किया हुआ है भगवान की प्रेरणा से, लेकिन स्वयं माया जड़ शक्ति है, तो यह जड़ शक्ति भगवान से पृथक हो गई,  यानी अब यह अलग चीज हो गई, लेकिन शास्त्र कहते हैं कि माया भी भगवान से अभिन्न है, क्यों, क्योंकि उनकी शक्ति है, भगवान की शक्ति ही माया है  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_FJRTVM3g&t=238  6  Verse, ज्ञानी लोग कहते है की माया मिथ्या है, मन का ब्रह्म है, वास्तव में माया मन का भ्रम नहीं है, भगवान की दासी है उनकी शक्ति है और जब तक भगवान कृपा नहीं करेंगे, ये माया नहीं जाने वाली, आप बोलते जाओ “अहम ब्रह्मास्मि”, कुछ नहीं होने वाला,  भगवान के दो प्रकार के servant (सेवक) हैं, एक को कहते हैं संत महात्मा, भगवान की सेवा कैसे करते भगवान की Personality लोगों को समझाते हैं और समझा कर लोगों को उनकी तरफ आकर्षित करते हैं वहां जाओ देखो वो अकारण करूण हैं, देखो अनंत सौंदर्य माधुर्य से युक्त हैं लेकिन संतो की बात कोई सुनेगा ही नहीं,  एक महात्मा जी आए हैं, बड़े आए, मैं सब कुछ जानता हूं, कोई नहीं सुनेगा, अब जब कोई सुनेगा ही नहीं, तो कोई संत कल्याण कैसे करेगा ?  इसलिए भगवान ने एक दूसरी नौकरानी रखी हुई है, उसका नाम है माया, ये माया नौकरानी क्या करती है, ये ना सुनने वालों को झापड़ लगाती है, जूते चप्पल  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_FJRTVM3g&t=320  7  अब उसके प्रकार अनेक हैं मान लो कि स्त्री पति का झगड़ा हो गया, भाई भाई का धोखा हो गया, कारोबार धंधे में घाटा हो गया, स्वास्थ्य हानी हो गई, यह सब जब माया झापड़ लगाती है, जीव कहता है, भई ये संसार तो बेकार है, वह महात्मा जी कह रहे थे, एक भगवान हैं, वही ठीक होगा,  अर्थात माया हमारा वैराग्य करती है और वैराग्य करके इशारा करती है, उधर जाओ, भगवान की तरफ जाओ, मेरे पास मत आओ, दासी के पास नहीं, स्वामी के पास जाओ, तो यह माया नौकरानी बड़ी कमाल की है, अगर माया नौकरानी न होती, तो कोई भगवान के पास जाता ही नहीं,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_FJRTVM3g&t=438  8  इसलिए तो कबीर जी ने कहा ना, “verse” जहां सांसारिक सुख बहुत हो जाता है, व्यक्ति कहता है फिर भगवान की क्या आवश्यकता है ? ये सब छोड़ो, चलो अब संसार में ही चलें,  लेकिन “बलिहारी वो दुख की, जो पल पल नाम रटाए” वह दुख जो हमको भगवान की तरफ ले जाता है, वह बहुत परोपकारी है, इसीलिए तो कुंती देवी ने वरदान मांगा था, भगवान आप मुझे कष्ट दो, परेशानी दो,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_FJRTVM3g&t=496  9  कई लोग जब जुंझला कर पूछते हैं, स्वामी जी, अरे क्या हो गया ? हमारे परिवार में यह मर गया, मेरा तो भाग्य फूट गया, भाग्य फूटा नहीं, भगवान कह रहे हैं, मेरी कृपा है, “verse”  जब मैं किसी पर कृपा करता हूं, तो उसका संसार छीन लेता हूं, ऐसा क्यों करते हैं आप ? अरे इसलिए करते हैं ताकि वह संसार से विमुख होकर भगवान की तरफ चले  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_FJRTVM3g&t=544  10  अब बच्चा खिलौने से खेल रहा है और मां को भूल हुआ है, मां का interest है, उसको भजन कराए, बच्चे का खिलौने में ही interest है,  वो नासमझ माँ झगड़ते रहती है कि खिलौने से प्रेम नहीं कर, मुझसे कर, समझदार माँ कहती है नौकर से, कि खिलौना छीन लो, खिलौना छिन गया अब बच्चे को माँ की याद आई,  ऐसे ही हम भी संसार के पांच प्रकार के खिलौनों में आसक्त हैं, शब्द, स्पर्श, रूप, रस, गंध बच्चों के लिए भी ऐसे खिलौने होते हैं ना,  एक चट्टू गुनगुना इत्यादि अलग-अलग, हमने देखा है बच्चे को वहां लेटाए हुए हैं, उसके ऊपर कुछ रख के और वो हिलता जा रहा है, बच्चा देखता जा रहा है, बढ़िया entertainment हो रहा है, इंद्रियों का मनोरंजन हो रहा है,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_FJRTVM3g&t=582  11  इसी तरह ये संसार में विभिन्न प्रकार के इंद्रियों के सुख और इसी करण से हम अपने असली संबंधी को भूले हुए हैं तो भगवान कृपा करके उसको छीन लेते हैं, भगवान कहें या माया कहें, तो ये माया भी भगवान की शक्ति होने के करण उनसे अभिन्न है  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ_FJRTVM3g&t=637  Transcript 0:16 मान लो कि स्त्री पति का झगड़ा हो गया,  0:19 भाई भाई का धोखा हो गया, 0:24 कारोबार धंधे में घाटा हो गया, स्वास्थ्य 0:27 हानी हो गई, ये सब जब माया झापड़ लगती है, 0:32 जीव कहता है, भई ये संसार तो बेकार है, वह 0:37 महात्मा जी कह रहे थे, एक भगवान है, वही ठीक 0:40 होगा, 0:41 तो यह माया नौकरानी बड़ी कमाल की है, यह 0:46 माया भी भगवान की शक्ति होने के करण उनसे 0:51 अभिन्न है, 0:59 वेदांत दर्शन ने सूत्र बनाया है “verse”  1:08 देखो भगवान आलोक का स्रोत हैं, वह “हैलोजन (Halogen)” वहां जल रहा है, 1:11 लेकिन उसकी light यहां तक पहुंची हुई है 1:16 इसी प्रकार से आत्मा निवास तो एक जगह करती है,  1:20 लेकिन अपनी चेतना को शरीर में फैलाया हुआ 1:24 है, तो पूरा आपका शरीर चेतन बन गया, 1:30 यहां पर कांटा चुभा,  1:33 क्या हो गया ? दर्द हो रहा है,  1:37 चेतना है यहां पे, 1:40 क्यों जी, आत्मा हृदय में, 1:43 चेतन यहां तक कैसे फेल गई ? 1:46 वो आत्मा एक जगह होते हुए सर्वत्र चेतना 1:51 फैला देती है,  1:53 लेकिन फिर कोई प्रश्न करे 1:56 कि आत्मा एक जगह से पूरे शरीर को कैसे 2:01 चेतन कर देती है ?  2:04 वेद व्यास ने एक दूसरा वेदांत सूत्र 2:07 लिखा है इसी का उत्तर देने के लिए “verse“, आप ललाट (माथा) पर चंदन लगाइए,  2:21 पूरे शरीर में शीतलता आ जाएगी 2:25 चंदन एक जगह लगाया, पूरे शरीर में शीतलता फैल गई, देखो, जैसे सुगंध फूल में होती है,   2:38 किंतु यदि बगीचे में बढ़िया फूल लगे हों 2:42 पूरा बगीचा महक जाता है, 2:47 वो फूल अपनी सुगंधी को बगीचे में भी 2:51 transfer कर देता है,  2:54 तो इस प्रकार से हमारी आत्मा चेतन है, 3:01 तो चेतन होने के नाते हम, महा चेतन भगवान 3:06 के सजातिय हैं 3:09 दोनों की एक जाति है  3:12 तो हम क्या भगवान से अभिन्न हैं ? 3:18 बिल्कुल यह भेद-आभेद वाला संबंध है, हम भगवान 3:23 हैं ? ऐसा नहीं, मगर भगवान से अभिन्न हैं,  जैसे 3:29 सूर्य और उसकी किरणें,  3:34 तो किरण को भी सूर्य में ही मान लेते हैं  3:38 इसका मतलब सूर्य की किरणों को हम सूर्य से 3:43 अभिन्न मानते हैं,  3:45 और एक ही हैं, तो ऐसे ही, जीव भगवान की शक्ति का अंश होने के नाते, जीव भी भगवान से अभिन्न है 3:58 और माया को देख लें, 4:01 यह माया शक्ति जो है यह भगवान की विजातीय है,  4:08 विजातीय मतलब अब ये विपरीत जाति वाली हो 4:11 गई क्योंकि भगवान महा चेतन और माया जड़ है,  4:18 कोई कहे साहब माया तो इतना कमाल करती है ये 4:21 जड़ है ? वही चिमटे वाला सिद्धांत, 4:26 प्रेरणा भगवान की पाकर माया ऐसा कमल 4:30 करती है, “verse”, सब को माया ने 4:40 परेशान किया हुआ है भगवान की प्रेरणा से, 4:45 लेकिन स्वयं 4:49 माया जड़ शक्ति है, 4:52 तो यह जड़ शक्ति भगवान से पृथक हो गई,  4:59 यानी अब यह अलग चीज हो गई, लेकिन शास्त्र कहते हैं कि माया भी भगवान से अभिन्न है,   5:11 क्यों, क्योंकि उनकी शक्ति है, 5:16 भगवान की शक्ति ही माया है  5:20  Verse, ज्ञानी लोग कहते है की माया मिथ्या है, मन का  ब्रह्म है, वास्तव में माया मन का भ्रम नहीं है,   5:50 भगवान की दासी है उनकी शक्ति है और जब तक 5:55 भगवान कृपा नहीं करेंगे, ये माया नहीं जाने वाली, आप बोलते जाओ “अहम ब्रह्मास्मि”, कुछ नहीं होने वाला, भगवान के दो प्रकार के servant (सेवक) हैं, एक को कहते हैं संत महात्मा,  6:20 भगवान की सेवा कैसे करते भगवान की 6:24 Personality लोगों को समझाते हैं और समझा कर 6:29 लोगों को उनकी तरफ आकर्षित करते हैं वहां जाओ  6:33 देखो वो अकारण करूण हैं देखो अनंत सौंदर्य 6:38 माधुर्य से युक्त हैं 6:41 लेकिन संतो की बात कोई सुनेगा ही नहीं, 6:46 एक महात्मा जी आए हैं, 6:49 बड़े आए, मैं सब कुछ जानता हूं, 6:53 कोई नहीं सुनेगा, 6:55 अब जब कोई सुनेगा ही नहीं, तो कोई संत 6:58 कल्याण कैसे करेगा ? 7:00 इसलिए भगवान ने एक दूसरी नौकरानी रखी हुई है, 7:05 उसका नाम है माया, 7:08 ये माया नौकरानी क्या करती है, ये ना सुनने वालों को झापड़ लगाती है, जूते चप्पल    7:18 अब उसके प्रकार अनेक हैं 7:21 मान लो कि स्त्री पति का झगड़ा हो गया, भाई 7:25 भाई का धोखा हो गया, 7:28 कारोबार धंधे में घाटा हो गया, स्वास्थ्य 7:31 हानी हो गई, यह सब जब माया झापड़ लगाती है, जीव कहता है, भई ये संसार तो बेकार है, वह 0:37 महात्मा जी कह रहे थे, एक भगवान हैं, वही ठीक 0:40 होगा, 7:46 अर्थात माया हमारा वैराग्य करती है और 7:51 वैराग्य करके इशारा करती है, उधर जाओ,   7:55 भगवान की तरफ जाओ, मेरे पास मत आओ, दासी के 8:01 पास नहीं, स्वामी के पास जाओ, तो यह माया 8:05 नौकरानी बड़ी कमाल की है, अगर माया नौकरानी 8:10 न होती, तो कोई भगवान के पास जाता ही नहीं, 8:16 इसलिए तो कबीर जी ने कहा ना, “verse”  8:34 जहां सांसारिक सुख बहुत हो जाता है, 8:39 व्यक्ति कहता है फिर भगवान की क्या आवश्यकता 8:42 है ? ये सब छोड़ो, चलो अब संसार में ही चलें, 8:46 लेकिन “बलिहारी वो दुख की, जो पल पल नाम रटाए” 8:52 वह दुख जो हमको भगवान की तरफ ले जाता 8:56 है, वह बहुत परोपकारी है, 9:01 इसीलिए तो कुंती देवी ने वरदान मांगा 9:04 था, भगवान आप मुझे कष्ट दो, परेशानी दो,  9:04 कई लोग जब जुंझला कर पूछते हैं, स्वामी जी, अरे 9:12 क्या हो गया ? हमारे परिवार में यह मर गया, 9:15 मेरा तो भाग्य फूट गया, 9:17 भाग्य फूटा नहीं, भगवान कह रहे हैं, मेरी कृपा है, “verse” 9:21 जब मैं किसी पर कृपा 9:26 करता हूं, तो उसका संसार छीन लेता हूं, 9:32 ऐसा क्यों करते हैं आप ? अरे इसलिए करते हैं 9:35 ताकि वह संसार से विमुख होकर भगवान की तरफ 9:40 चले 9:42 अब बच्चा खिलौने से खेल रहा है और मां को भूल 9:47 हुआ है,   9:48 मां का interest है, उसको भजन कराए, बच्चे 9:52 का खिलौने में ही interest है, वो नासमझ माँ झगड़ते रहती है कि खिलौने से प्रेम नहीं कर, मुझसे कर, समझदार माँ कहती है नौकर से, कि खिलौना छीन लो, खिलौना छिन गया अब बच्चे को माँ की याद आई,  ऐसे ही हम भी संसार के पांच प्रकार के खिलौनों में आसक्त हैं, शब्द, स्पर्श, रूप, रस, गंध  10:19 बच्चों के लिए भी ऐसे खिलौने होते हैं ना, 10:22 एक चट्टू  गुनगुना इत्यादि अलग-अलग, 10:25 हमने देखा है बच्चे को वहां लेटाए हुए हैं, 10:27 उसके ऊपर कुछ रख के और वो हिलता जा रहा है, 10:31 बच्चा देखता जा रहा है, बढ़िया entertainment हो 10:34 रहा है, इंद्रियों का मनोरंजन हो रहा है,  10:37 इसी तरह ये संसार में 10:40 विभिन्न प्रकार के इंद्रियों के सुख और इसी 10:44 करण से 10:45  हम अपने असली संबंधी को भूले हुए हैं तो भगवान 10:51 कृपा करके उसको छीन लेते हैं, भगवान कहें या माया 10:56 कहें, तो ये माया भी भगवान की शक्ति होने के 11:01 करण 11:02 उनसे अभिन्न है Standby link (in case youtube link does not work): भगवान ने हमें मोह - माया में क्यों डाला है Why has God put us in illusion Swami Mukundananda.mp4

POWERFUL MOTIVATION to Increase Your Desire for God by Swami Mukundanand

POWERFUL MOTIVATION to Increase Your Desire for God by Swami Mukundanand

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ5IUPhd6Vg Full Text 1  there are two bhaktis: one that we do and one that we get ; the bhakti that you do, is sadhan bhakti or devotion in the practice stage and bhakti you will receive is सिद्ध भक्ति or perfect devotion, This bhakti is of the nature of a fruit. What does that mean ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ5IUPhd6Vg&t=0  2  This bhakti which enslaves God is not something you develop within yourself, you will receive it as a fruit. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said that you cannot attain Krishna prem (Divine Love of God) through any means.  This divine love is not that you grow it, when you cleanse your heart, it will manifest therein, just like you see the moon every day, the moon does not get made, it only manifests, so the bhakti that Naradji is talking about, you will receive it as a gift from God but this bhakti is of two kinds.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ5IUPhd6Vg&t=35  3  What is it that we are doing right now ? This is also bhakti but this is not the bhakti that enslaves God, that's pretty obvious isn't it ? God is not the servant of any of us, so we are doing bhakti but we are not there as yet.  So there are two bhaktis then one that we do and one that we get. Hence Srimad Bhagavatam says or Ved Vyas writes, “You do bhakti (devotion to God), and you will get bhakti (Divine Love of God), do bhakti and you get bhakti, what is the meaning of that ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ5IUPhd6Vg&t=109  4  You do one kind of bhakti and you will get another kind of bhakti, the bhakti that you do is sadhan bhakti, or devotion in the practice stage and the bhakti you will receive is siddha bhakti or perfect devotion.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ5IUPhd6Vg&t=164 5  Different terminologies have been used by different acharyas (Saints) Kripalu ji maharaj has said “sadhan bhakti” & “siddha bhakti” Narad ji in his 84 aphorism scripture, so we are on 26th aphorism, subsequently, he says this bhakti is “Mukhya” and “Gauni”,  the “Gauni” is the one that we are doing and “Mukhya” is the one that we will receive, so how is this siddha bhakti or Mukhya bhakti that enslaves even God ? some people asked Narada ji about it, so he says subsequently, “verse”  this siddha bhakti cannot be described and one who claims I will describe it, he has no knowledge of it “verse” One who is claiming to describe it, has not drowned in it and one who drowns in it, “अनिर्वचनीय” (cannot describe it) this is such a deep and vast ocean, one out of many truly intelligent people drowns in this ocean  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ5IUPhd6Vg&t=190 6  so people said Naradji, please give us a little hint about this bhakti, you're just saying “अनिर्वचनीय” (cannot describe it) He says, "mukaswadanavat", Look, if you give गुड़, in different languages it's jaggery, molasses you give गुड़ to a dumb man and ask him how is this ?  what will the dumb person do ? he will only indicate, he can't go beyond that, so in the same way this bhakti is so immense that nobody can describe, so naradji said "mukaswadanavat", the dumb man cannot describe,  Kripalu ji Maharaj says even somebody who is able to speak, you ask him to describe the taste of rasgulla, how will he describe it ? it's a subject of this sense of taste, how to describe it in words ? and then if you can't describe rasgulla, how will you describe that kind of bhakti ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ5IUPhd6Vg&t=298 7  but Narad ji to give us a little inkling, has given a few descriptions, so he says “verse” these sutras we have already covered in the Fresno Retreat, once you get bhakti, you will become perfect, when you’ll receive siddha bhakti, God realization will take place, immortal “amrita bhavati”, tript, you will become fully satiated,  once you get it, you will have no desires you will not rejoice in worldly things, you will not lament, you will not worry, you see the whole Bhagavad-Gita is telling us to stop worrying, Arjun was worrying, right ?  and Lord Krishna when he started His lecture, He told him (Arjun) “while apparently speaking of words of wisdom, you are lamenting for that which is not worthy of grief, the wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead, so to lament, to worry, is not the sign of wisdom. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ5IUPhd6Vg&t=394  8  Narada says when you get this bhakti you will get beyond all shoka (grief), all kamana (desire), all dvesh (aversion), and all raman (attachments) when you get that bhakti you will always see God, you will always hear God, you will always think of God, and you will always desire God  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ5IUPhd6Vg&t=512 

Transcript 0:00 there are two bhaktis : one that we do and 0:04 one that we get ; 0:06 the bhakti that you do, is sadhan bhakti 0:09 or devotion in the practice stage 0:14 and bhakti you will receive 0:17 is 0:19 सिद्ध भक्ति or perfect devotion, 0:23 This bhakti 0:25 is 0:26 of the nature of a fruit. 0:32 What does that mean ? 0:35 This bhakti which enslaves God 0:39 is not something you develop within 0:42 yourself, 0:45 you will receive it 0:47 as a fruit. 0:51 Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said 0:55 That you cannot attain Krishna prem (Divine Love of God) through any means. 0:56 1:07 This divine love is not that you grow it, 1:10 1:15 when you cleanse your heart, 1:18 it will manifest 1:20 therein, 1:22 just like you see the moon every day, 1:26 the moon does not get made, 1:29 it only manifests, 1:33 so the bhakti that Naradji is talking 1:36 about, 1:37 you will receive it 1:40 as a gift 1:42 from God 1:44 but 1:45 this bhakti is of two kinds. 1:49 What is it that we are doing right now ? 1:53 This is also bhakti 1:56 but this is not the bhakti that enslaves 1:59 God, that's pretty obvious isn't it ? God 2:01 is not the servant of any of us 2:05 so 2:06 we are doing bhakti 2:08 but we are not there as yet. 2:11 So there are two bhaktis then 2:15 one that we do 2:17 and one that we get. Hence Srimad Bhagavatam says or Ved Vyas writes, “You do bhakti (devotion to God),  2:35 and you will get bhakti (Divine Love of God), 2:39 do bhakti and you get bhakti, 2:42 what is the meaning of that ? 2:44 You do one kind of bhakti 2:47 and you will get another kind of bhakti, 2:51 the bhakti that you do is sadhan bhakti, 2:55 or devotion 2:57 in the practice stage 3:00 and the bhakti you will 3:02 receive is siddha bhakti 3:05 or perfect devotion. 3:10 Different terminologies have been used 3:12 by different acharyas (Saints) 3:16 Kripalu ji maharaj has said “sadhan bhakti” & “siddha bhakti” 3:21 Narad ji subsequently, it's an 84 aphorism 3:24 scripture 3:25 so we are on 26th aphorism, 3:28 subsequently, he will say this bhakti is 3:31 “Mukhya” and “Gauni”  3:34 the “Gauni” is the one that we are doing 3:37 and “Mukhya” is the one that we will 3:40 receive, 3:42 so how is this siddha bhakti or Mukhya bhakti  3:46 that enslaves even God ? 3:52 some people asked Narada ji about it, 3:55 so he says subsequently, “verse” 4:07 this siddha bhakti cannot be described 4:10 and one who claims I will describe it, he 4:14 has no knowledge of it “verse” 4:32 One who is claiming to describe it, has 4:36 not drowned in it 4:38 and one who drowns in it, “अनिर्वचनीय” (cannot describe it) 4:44 this is such a deep and vast ocean, 4:48 one out of many 4:51 truly intelligent people drowns in this 4:55 ocean, 4:58 so people said Naradji, please give us a 5:01 little hint about this bhakti, you're 5:04 just saying “अनिर्वचनीय” (cannot describe it) 5:09 He says, "mukaswadanavat", 5:13 Look, 5:14 if you give 5:16 गुड़,  5:18 in different languages it's 5:23 jaggery, molasses 5:26 you give गुड़ to a dumb man 5:30 and ask him 5:31 how is this ? 5:34 what will the dumb person do ? 5:36 he will only indicate, 5:41 he can't go beyond that, 5:44 so in the same way 5:47 this 5:48 bhakti is so immense 5:52 that nobody can describe, so naradji said 5:56 "mukaswadanavat", 5:58 the dumb man cannot describe 6:00 Kripalu ji Maharaj says 6:05 even somebody who is able to speak, 6:09 you ask him to describe the taste of 6:12 rasgulla, 6:15 how will he describe it ? 6:18 it's a subject of this 6:21 sense of taste, how to describe it in 6:25 words ? 6:26 and then if you can't describe rasgulla, 6:29 how will you describe that kind of 6:32 bhakti ? 6:34 but Narad ji 6:36 to give us a little inkling, 6:39 has given a few descriptions, 6:42 so he says “verse” 6:50 these sutras we have already covered 6:53 in the Fresno Retreat, once you get 6:55 bhakti, you will become perfect, 6:59 when you’ll receive siddha bhakti, 7:01 God realization will take place, 7:03 immortal amrita bhavati, tript, you will 7:06 become fully satiated, 7:26 once you get it, you will have no desires 7:31 you will not rejoice in worldly things, 7:34 you will not lament, 7:37 you will not worry, 7:40 you see the whole Bhagavad-Gita 7:44 is telling us to stop worrying, 7:47 Arjun was worrying, right ? 7:49 and Lord Krishna when he started His 7:51 lecture, 7:53 He told him (Arjun) 8:05 “while apparently speaking of words of 8:09 wisdom, 8:12 you are lamenting for that which is not 8:16 worthy of grief, 8:18 the wise 8:19 lament neither for the living nor for 8:23 the dead, 8:26 so to lament, to worry, is not the sign of 8:30 wisdom. 8:32 Narada says when you get this bhakti you 8:35 will get beyond all shoka (grief), all kamana (desire), all dvesh (aversion), and all raman (attachments) 8:52 when you get that bhakti you will always 8:56 see God, 8:59 you will always hear God, 9:02 you will always think of God, 9:05 and you will always desire God Standby link (in case youtube link does not work) POWERFUL MOTIVATION to Increase Your Desire for God Swami Mukundananda.mp4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo Full Text 1  As you sow that shall you also reap, sometimes it is not obvious to us because we look at only one life and that's why you become confused but then one lifetime span is hardly anything to look at, that doesn't explain too much,  it's only when you extend it beyond that you understand, it seems to make sense and while we are in this world of maya, the law of karma applies to us, so what is this law of karma and how can we go beyond it ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=6  2  So all of us have a stockpile of karmas from past lives, this is called the sanchit (accumulated) karmas, now God's system of justice is whatever you did you have to bear the consequence and while bearing the consequence we'll be doing more karmas,  then you bear the consequence of that and while bearing that you will do more karmas, you bear the consequences of that as well, now since we have had infinite lives, our stockpile is infinite, so to burn them all, we'll take infinite lives and while burning them, we'll keep on doing more karmas, so what is the end of this ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=78  3  There is one recourse and that is the law of grace, just like even in the world if the judge decides that for this murder case, the death sentence has been given, the case then goes up to the high court and finally the Supreme Court and if the Supreme Court also decides it's a death sentence,  now what to do you've gone to the highest authority, so I'm not familiar with US law but Indian law states that even after that an appeal can be made to the President for mercy and if the president decides by mercy, he can repeal that punishment of the death sentence, so likewise I believe it's the same in USA as well,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=131  4  so likewise, God says "As long as you are not surrendered to Me, the law of karma applies but when you do surrender, My grace will intervene, that grace will burn up your sins of endless lifetimes, they will all be burnt and gotten rid of. So the Bhagavat Gita explains in the 18th chapter 66th verse, Arjun, give up all varieties of religiosity and just surrender to God and then by His grace,  all your sanchit karmas will be burnt asunder, so what we need to do then is to surrender to God, to conquer over the material energy, to conquer over this mind of ours, that will attract divine grace, this leads to the question what is surrender ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=201  5  Now we have all heard that we should surrender but what does surrender mean ? there is one external surrender and one real surrender, what is external surrender ? you put a sticker in your shop “Shree Krishna sharnam mamah”, I have surrendered to God, when the Yamdoots come, I'll show them this sticker.  Some people say, you know, you do whatever you like during the day except when you are about to sleep you say “Ramaarppanamasthu” and go to sleep, you're surrendered, “sarvam , "Krishnaarppanamasthu", you are surrendered,  this is jokery, surrender is not an external act, it's not that by putting on a certain tilak that you are surrendered or going to a certain holy place, you are surrendered or saying a certain mantra you are surrendered, surrender is a state of our consciousness and it has different aspects, facets to it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=301  6  So this concept of surrender is very important for us all to understand. The scriptures explain that just try and fulfill this six facets (one part or particular aspect of something) of it “Verse” This verse from the “Bhakti Rasamrit Sindhu” is also in the “Vayu puran” is also in the “Ahir Budhnya Samhita”,  three scriptures have got exactly the same verse and they are saying that six points need to be fulfilled for surrender and if you say, you know, if I fulfill five points, then will I get 5/6th of the divine grace ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=386  7  God says, no, it doesn't work like that, if the whole machine is all right, an airbus and one wire has come off, the machine is grounded the mechanic comes, repairs it. you say "okay, so many hours, such an expensive machine and one wire had stopped it from functioning ?  So likewise this surrender also God says "mām ekam sharaņam vraja” your surrender must fulfill all these points  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo&t=447  Burn Lifetimes of Karma Instantly — The Secret Krishna Reveals in Bhagavad Gita https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp2gHIWhRwo

Transcript 0:06 As you sow that shall you also 0:09 reap, sometimes it is not obvious to us 0:14 because we look at only one 0:17 life and that's why you become confused 0:29 but then one lifetime span is hardly 0:33 anything to look 0:34 at, that doesn't explain too much, it's 0:37 only when you extend it beyond that you 0:40 understand, it seems to make 0:50 sense and while we are in this world of 0:54 maya, the law of karma applies to 0:59 us, so what is this law of karma and how 1:03 can we go beyond it ? 1:18 So all of us have a stockpile of karmas 1:22 from past lives, this is called the 1:25 sanchit 1:27 karmas, now God's system of justice is 1:30 whatever you did you have to bear the 1:33 consequence 1:36 and while bearing the consequence we'll 1:39 be doing more karmas, then you bear the 1:41 consequence of that and while bearing 1:44 that you will do more karmas, you bear 1:46 the consequences of that as well, now 1:49 since we have had infinite 1:53 lives, our stockpile is 1:56 infinite, so to burn them all, we'll take 2:01 infinite 2:03 lives and while burning them, we'll keep 2:05 on doing more 2:07 karmas, so what is the end of 2:11 this ? There is one recourse and that is 2:16 the law of grace, 2:21 just like even in the 2:25 world if the judge 2:29 decides that for this murder 2:33 case, the death sentence has been 2:38 given, the case then goes up to the high 2:41 court and finally the Supreme 2:43 Court and if the Supreme Court also 2:46 decides it's a death 2:50 sentence, now what to do you've gone to 2:53 the highest authority, so I'm not 2:55 familiar with US law but Indian law 2:58 states that even after that an appeal 3:02 can be made to the 3:04 President for 3:06 mercy and if the president decides by 3:11 mercy, he can repeal 3:14 that punishment of the death 3:18 sentence, so likewise I believe it's the 3:21 same in USA as well, so likewise, God says 3:25 "As long as you are not surrendered to 3:28 Me, the law of karma 3:32 applies but when you do 3:36 surrender, My grace will 3:41 intervene, that grace will burn up your 3:46 sins of endless lifetimes, 3:51 they will all be burnt and gotten rid of. 3:56 So the Bhagavat Gita explains in the 18th 4:00 chapter 66th verse, 4:17 Arjun, give up all varieties of 4:20 religiosity and just surrender to God 4:24 and then by His grace, all your sanchit 4:28 karmas will be burnt asunder, 4:33 so what we need to do then is to 4:37 surrender to 4:39 God, to conquer over the material energy, 4:44 to conquer over this mind of 4:48 ours, that will attract divine 4:53 grace, this leads to the 4:57 question what is 5:01 surrender ? Now we have all heard that we 5:04 should 5:05 surrender but what does surrender 5:10 mean ? there is one external 5:14 surrender and one real 5:17 surrender, what is external 5:20 surrender ? you put a sticker in your shop 5:23 “Shree Krishna 5:24 sharnam mamah”, I have surrendered to 5:27 God, when the Yamdoots come, I'll show them 5:30 this sticker. 5:32 Some people say, you know, you do whatever 5:35 you like during the day except when you 5:38 are about to sleep you say “Ramaarppanamasthu”  and go 5:41 to sleep, you're 5:43 surrendered, “sarvam , "Krishnaarppanamasthu", you are 5:48 surrendered, this is 5:51 jokery, surrender is not an external 5:57 act, it's not that by putting on a 6:00 certain tilak that you are surrendered or going 6:03 to a certain holy place, you are 6:06 surrendered or saying a certain mantra 6:09 you are 6:12 surrendered, surrender is a state of our 6:18 consciousness and it has different 6:22 aspects, facets to it. 6:26 So this concept of surrender is very 6:30 important for us all to 6:34 understand. The scriptures explain that 6:38 just try and fulfill this six facets of 6:41 it “Verse”  6:59 This verse from the “Bhakti Rasamrit 7:02 Sindhu” is also in the “Vayu puran” is 7:05 also in the “Ahir Budhnya Samhita”, three 7:08 scriptures have got exactly the same 7:11 verse and they are saying that six 7:15 points need to be fulfilled for 7:19 surrender and if you say, you know, if I 7:21 fulfill five 7:23 points, then will I get 5/6th of the 7:26 divine 7:27 grace ? God says, no, it doesn't work like 7:31 that, if the whole machine is all right 7:36 an airbus and one wire has come 7:40 off, the machine is 7:42 grounded the mechanic comes, repairs it. 7:45 you say "okay, so many hours, such 7:50 an expensive machine and one wire had 7:54 stopped it from functioning ? 7:57 So 7:58 likewise this surrender also God says 8:05 "mām ekam sharaņam vraja” your surrender must fulfill all 8:10 these points

God Is Hungry For Love | Does God Eat the Food Offered ? by Swami Mukundanand

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4

Full Text: https://krishnabff.blogspot.com/2023/03/god-is-hungry-for-love-does-god-eat.html 1  Do you worship Thakurji at home? "Yes, Swamiji." So you must be offering bhog. "Yes, I do." How do you offer bhog? "Swamiji, it is so simple. I take one thali (plate), I put all the food in it and I put the plate on the altar and then I ring a bell. Close the eyes." Then? "Open the eyes." Then? "I take away the plate, and start eating."  But tell me, when you close the eyes and then you open the eyes, did you see how many rotis did God eat today? Which subji got minused from the plate? Which daal did he select more today? Did he eat the sweet or not? Did you see all this? " No, Swamiji." Why not?! "God doesn't eat." if God doesn't eat, then why are you offering it? If it is your decision that God is not going to eat then why are you offering?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4&t=6  2  You are very correct in saying, God does not need to eat. The Vedas define Him, Sanskrit verse “God neither feels thirst nor feels hunger nor does He become old nor does He become sick”. This is the Vedic definition of God.  However, when it comes to the love of the devotee, the bhav of the devotee, then God does become hungry. Then you go and see in Vrindavan. Shri Krishna's going Himself to the houses of the gopis and stealing the butter, how hungry He has become ! He is eating the half-eaten berries of Shabri, that is His hunger. He went Himself to the house of Vidurani.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4&t=72  3  You may have heard of that episode from the Mahabharat. When the battle of Mahabharata was becoming imminent, Lord Krishna went to try and forge a treaty. And he went to the assembly of the Kauravas and said, "Duryodhan, the Pandavas are your brothers." Duryodhan said, "absolutely".  They have the right to live? "Absolutely." In order to live, they need some land because they are warriors? Duryodhan said, "absolutely". Lord Krishna said in that case let them have five small villages. They will be contented, and we will avert this war. Duryodhan said, "absolutely not." (Sanskrit verse)  "Oh Keshav, the amount of land on the tip of a needle, even that much I will not give without war." So Shri Krishna realized, it's futile to explain to him. As a last recourse, He showed Duryodhan His Virat roop, His cosmic Universal form, the one that He will subsequently show Arjun on the battleground of Kuruksetra during the dialogue of Bhagavad-Gita.  He showed that same form to the evil Duryodhan. But Duryodhan was still not impressed. Some people say, "Chamatkar ko Namaskar." But Duryodhan did not do any such Namaskar. He said, who's this joker and what is He doing? Tie Him up in a rope and throw Him in the cellar. Dhritarashtra had to intervene.  Dhritarashtra said, "look Duryodhan, enough is enough. Don't mess with Keshav or you will have to pay for it. Duryodhan came to his senses. He said, "all right, all right Shri Krishna. Forget all this discussion. Let's have a meal. I have got 'chapan Vyanjan' ready (56 kinds of food items)."  Lord Krishna answered very aptly. He said, Sanskrit verse "Look Duryodhan, a person eats for one of two reasons. Either he eats because he is hungry or he eats because it is offered with love." I have to eat many times because of this. I have filled my stomach.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4&t=138  4  "Swamiji, I've got rasgulla with so much love, please eat." Ok ok. "I've got gulab jamun with so much love." Ok ok. So Shri Krishna says, "Look Duryodhan if it is offered with love we eat it or if we are hungry we eat."  In this case neither am I hungry nor do you have any love. Besides I have an invitation from Vidur's house. Now Vidur was sitting in the assembly when his name got announced. He was no longer minister. He had been taken out of that post. He was sitting at the back. He got up, what ! Krishna is going to come to my house and I have got no arrangements for Him? He ran to the market to see what he can get.  In the meantime, Krishna had already reached his house and He started banging on the door Darwaja Kholo (open the door). Vidurani, Vidur's wife was bathing when Krishna started banging. Vidurani said, "who's there?"  Kaki, I am very hungry. Please open. Vidurani realized that God has come to my door and God is hungry. Huh! This is my chance to serve Him. How did God become hungry? Because for many many years Vidurani used to meditate. If Krishna comes to my house I will make Him sit here. No no no. This is not good enough. I'll make Him sit here. No no. I will feed Him this. No, I will feed Him that.  She used to meditate in her mind and Krishna, sitting in everybody's hearts, knows everybody's thoughts. He knew all the devotion that Vidurani had done. So without being asked, he landed up. Now Vidurani lost her senses. "My Lord has come!" She ran out.  She was an old lady. She didn't even realize, she's not wearing clothes. She opened the door. Krishna came to know, kaki has lost her consciousness. He took His Pitamber and put it on her. He said, will you not call me inside? Vidurani said, come. Now she made Him sit. What to offer Him? She had a few options, but she was not able to think because she was overwhelmed in loving devotion. The nearest were the bananas. She took those and in her absorption, she's dropping the fruit and the banana peels she's putting it in Krishna's mouth.  Krishna is eating that banana peel, enjoying, wow I've never tasted anything like this. You will say you've never tasted anything like this, like banana peels?! I heard your Golok, Divine Abode, has got so many tasty things.  No no no I am tasting the love of the devotee. Gods says “Hindi verse” God was relishing the bhav, with which Vidurani was offering those banana peels.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4&t=327  5  In the meantime Vidurji came. He had come from the market. "Listen, what happened today." Krishna offered so much respect in front of everybody. He announced my name. He is going to come. Let us prepare.  And then he looked inside, Vidurani was sitting with Krishna, putting banana peels in His mouth. Vidurji really lost his temper. What, God has come to our house this is how you treat Him? So he brought the halwa poori etc., which he had purchased."  Krishna, please forgive me." "Take this. She doesn't think properly." Krishna ate the halwa poori. But He said, Vidurji don't mind. The sweetness in those banana peels is not in this halwa poori.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4&t=644  6  God relishes the love of the giver, not the gift of the lover. So when you offer bhog to the lord, make the sentiment that he is going to eat it. After offering, when you open your eyes, at least think for a moment, even today He did not come to eat प्रत्यक्ष, साक्षात !  He came for so many, for Dhanna jhat and for Sadna Kasai etc. That means I don't have any devotion. Thinking like that if we feel a little remorse, we will get a few numbers. But we decide in the beginning itself that He cannot come. Then, where is that faith?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvUr42DzsU4&t=707

My Message to the World TWO ULTIMATE PURPOSES OF LIFE To be Happy and to make Spiritual Progress By Vijay Kumar Takkar

 

(English version – followed by Hindi version)

 

My Message to the World

TWO ULTIMATE PURPOSES OF LIFE

To be Happy and to make Spiritual Progress

By Vijay Kumar Takkar

 

The Twofold Path: Finding Happiness and Spiritual Fulfilment

In our journey through this remarkable existence, I've come to believe that life presents us with two fundamental purposes that intertwine like branches of the same tree: to cultivate genuine happiness and to progress spiritually toward the divine source.

 

Our Universal Pursuit of Happiness

When we examine our daily lives with honest reflection, we discover a profound truth: every action we take is ultimately driven by our desire for happiness.

 

Why do we eat? Because we hope and know it will make us happy through nourishment and pleasure.

 

Why do we eat good food? Because we hope and know it will make us happy through health and enjoyment.

 

Why do we occasionally eat junk food? Because we hope it will make us happy through comfort or convenience.

 

Why do we brush our teeth? Because we hope and know it will make us happy by preventing pain and preserving our smile.

 

Why do we educate ourselves and our children? Because we hope and know it will make us happy through opportunities and understanding.

 

Why do we watch movies, television, sports, and play games? Because we hope and know it will make us happy through entertainment and connection.

 

Why do we love? Because we hope and know it will make us happy through belonging and meaning.

Why do we marry? Because we hope it will make us happy through partnership and shared journey.

 

Why do we have children? Because we hope and know it will make us happy through connection and legacy.

 

Why do we pursue careers? Because we hope they will make us happy through purpose and provision.

 

Why do we exercise? Because we hope and know it will make us happy through health and vitality.

 

Why do we save money? Because we hope it will make us happy through security and freedom.

Why do we travel? Because we hope and know it will make us happy through discovery and perspective.

 

Why do we create art? Because we hope and know it will make us happy through expression and beauty.

 

Why do we meditate or pray? Because we hope and know it will make us happy through peace and connection.

 

Hence, we undertake all activities in our lives with the purpose of finding happiness. Nobody consciously chooses any action with the purpose of making themselves unhappy. This universal pursuit unites humanity across all cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds.

Yet here we encounter an essential question: If all our actions aim at happiness, why do so many people remain profoundly unhappy? The answer leads us to the second purpose of life: spiritual growth.

 

The Nature of True Happiness

 

The happiness we seek isn't merely the fleeting pleasure that comes from external achievements or possessions. Rather, it is a profound state of being that flows from within when we align ourselves with certain timeless principles:

 

Presence transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences. When a mother fully engages with her child's laughter, when a gardener feels the soil between his fingers, when friends share a meal with undivided attention - these simple moments become portals to joy precisely because of presence.

 

Gratitude reframes our entire experience. Consider the person who loses mobility and then regains the ability to walk - every step becomes a miracle worthy of celebration. Yet those who've never lost this ability rarely experience such joy in walking. Gratitude allows us to experience this appreciation without requiring loss first.

Connection fulfils our deepest longing. Notice how the happiest moments of life almost always involve connection - the birth of a child, reunions with loved ones, community celebrations, or even the profound connection with nature or the divine. Even introverts discover that meaningful connection, at the right depth and frequency, nourishes the soul.

 

Purpose infuses our days with meaning. The hospice nurse who provides dignity to the dying, the teacher who ignites curiosity in students, the artist who captures beauty, the parent who nurtures character - all find happiness elevated by purpose. Even ordinary tasks become extraordinary when linked to meaningful purpose.

 

Acceptance releases us from needless suffering. When we accept the rainy day instead of raging against it, when we accept our aging body while still caring for it, when we accept others' limitations without trying to force change - we free ourselves from the exhausting burden of fighting reality.

 

The Path of Spiritual Progress

 

True happiness cannot be fully separated from spiritual growth. As we progress spiritually, we discover a deeper, more resilient form of happiness:

 

Self-Awareness begins our journey home. The businessman who notices his anger rising during negotiations and chooses a peaceful response, the mother who recognizes patterns from her own childhood emerging in parenting and consciously chooses differently, the student who observes anxiety before tests and learns to center herself - all are practicing self-awareness that leads to growth.

 

Surrender connects us to a greater wisdom. When the cancer patient says "I'll fight with everything I can control, and surrender what I cannot," when parents learn to trust their grown children's paths, when we accept life's uncertainties with an open heart - we discover the freedom that comes with surrender.

 

Compassion expands our identity beyond the limited self. The volunteer who feels fulfilment serving at a shelter, the person who stops to help a stranger in distress, the individual who forgives someone who caused them pain - all experience how compassion paradoxically enriches the giver as much as the receiver.

 

Integrity creates harmony within and around us. The business leader who chooses ethics over easy profit, the friend who speaks a difficult truth with love, the person who honours commitments even when inconvenient - all experience the quiet joy that comes from living in alignment with their values.

 

Devotion kindles the flame of spiritual life. The grandmother who begins each day in prayer, the hiker who finds sacred connection on mountain paths, the volunteer who sees divine presence in those they serve, the artist who creates as an act of worship - all tap into the transformative power of devotion.

The Beautiful Integration

Consider how these two purposes - happiness and spiritual growth - complement and fulfil each other:

 

The person seeking happiness through material success often discovers its limitations, which may awaken spiritual questions about life's deeper purpose.

 

The spiritual seeker following a path of discipline and practice discovers profound happiness that transcends circumstance, confirming they're on the right path.

 

The parent hoping to find happiness through their child's achievements learns, sometimes painfully, that true joy comes instead through loving presence and acceptance - a spiritual lesson wrapped in daily life.

 

The activist fighting for justice discovers that while external change matters deeply, their inner peace cannot depend solely on outcomes - a spiritual insight born from worldly engagement.

Every day offers countless opportunities to live these dual purposes:

 

In how we eat breakfast - with rushed distraction or grateful presence. In how we greet our family - with irritated habit or loving awareness. In how we approach our work - as meaningless drudgery or purpose-filled service. In how we handle disappointments - with bitter resistance or growth-minded acceptance. In how we treat the stranger - with indifferent separation or compassionate connection.

 

The most beautiful truth is that these two purposes are not separate paths but a single journey. Every step toward authentic happiness is a step toward spiritual awakening. Every step in spiritual growth reveals more profound happiness.

 

This understanding transcends religious boundaries while honouring the wisdom each tradition offers. Whether we speak of God, the Universe, Higher Consciousness, or simply the mystery of existence, we're attempting to name that which ultimately lies beyond names - the source from which we came and toward which our spiritual progress guides us.

 

A Call to Awakened Living

 

I invite you now to embrace this twofold purpose with full awareness and intention. Starting today:

 

Examine your pursuits honestly. Ask yourself: "Am I chasing happiness where it cannot truly be found?" Redirect your energy toward what brings lasting fulfilment rather than momentary pleasure.

Begin a daily practice that nurtures both happiness and spiritual growth. Even five minutes of meditation, gratitude journaling, mindful walking, or devotional reading can initiate profound transformation over time.

 

Choose one relationship to infuse with greater presence and compassion. Notice how this small shift creates ripples of positive change in your life and theirs.

 

Share this understanding with others, not through preaching, but through living example. As you embody genuine happiness and spiritual alignment, you become a lighthouse for those still searching.

 

Forgive yourself for the inevitable stumbles along the way. The path is not about perfection but persistent return - coming back again and again to what truly matters.

 

Remember always that you are not alone on this journey. Across time and space, countless souls walk this same path toward happiness and spiritual fulfilment. Their wisdom, recorded in sacred texts and teachings across traditions, stands ready to guide you.

 

The time for transformation is now. Not when circumstances improve, not when you have more resources, not when you feel more worthy - but in this very moment. For it is only ever in the present that we can experience true happiness and take our next step toward spiritual awakening.

 

May we all find the courage to live with this dual purpose, knowing that in their perfect integration lies the profound fulfilment our hearts have always sought. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step - may yours begin today.

 

दुनिया को मेरा संदेश

जीवन के दो परम उद्देश्य

खुश रहना और आध्यात्मिक प्रगति करना

विजय कुमार टक्कर द्वारा

दोहरा रास्ता: खुशी और आध्यात्मिक तृप्ति पाना

इस अद्भुत अस्तित्व के माध्यम से हमारी यात्रा में, मैं यह मानने लगा हूँ कि जीवन हमें दो मौलिक उद्देश्य प्रदान करता है जो एक ही पेड़ की शाखाओं की तरह आपस में जुड़े हुए हैं: वास्तविक खुशी की खेती करना और दिव्य स्रोत की ओर आध्यात्मिक रूप से प्रगति करना।

खुशी की हमारी सार्वभौमिक खोज

जब हम अपने दैनिक जीवन की ईमानदारी से जांच करते हैं, तो हमें एक गहन सत्य का पता चलता है: हम जो भी कार्य करते हैं, वह अंततः खुशी की हमारी इच्छा से प्रेरित होता है।

हम क्यों खाते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं और जानते हैं कि यह हमें पोषण और आनंद के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

हम अच्छा खाना क्यों खाते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं और जानते हैं कि यह हमें स्वास्थ्य और आनंद के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

हम कभी-कभी जंक फूड क्यों खाते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं कि यह हमें आराम या सुविधा के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

हम अपने दाँत क्यों ब्रश करते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं और जानते हैं कि यह दर्द को रोककर और हमारी मुस्कान को बनाए रखकर हमें खुश करेगा।

हम खुद को और अपने बच्चों को क्यों शिक्षित करते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं और जानते हैं कि यह हमें अवसरों और समझ के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

हम फिल्में, टेलीविजन, खेल और गेम क्यों देखते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं और जानते हैं कि यह हमें मनोरंजन और कनेक्शन के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

हम प्यार क्यों करते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं और जानते हैं कि यह हमें अपनेपन और अर्थ के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

हम शादी क्यों करते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं कि यह हमें साझेदारी और साझा यात्रा के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

हम बच्चे क्यों पैदा करते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं और जानते हैं कि यह हमें कनेक्शन और विरासत के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

हम करियर क्यों बनाते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं कि यह हमें उद्देश्य और प्रावधान के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

हम व्यायाम क्यों करते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं और जानते हैं कि यह हमें स्वास्थ्य और जीवन शक्ति के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

हम पैसे क्यों बचाते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं कि यह हमें सुरक्षा और स्वतंत्रता के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

हम यात्रा क्यों करते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं और जानते हैं कि यह हमें खोज और परिप्रेक्ष्य के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

हम कला क्यों बनाते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं और जानते हैं कि यह हमें अभिव्यक्ति और सुंदरता के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

हम ध्यान या प्रार्थना क्यों करते हैं? क्योंकि हम आशा करते हैं और जानते हैं कि यह हमें शांति और जुड़ाव के माध्यम से खुश करेगा।

इसलिए, हम अपने जीवन में सभी गतिविधियाँ खुशी पाने के उद्देश्य से करते हैं। कोई भी व्यक्ति जानबूझकर खुद को दुखी करने के उद्देश्य से कोई कार्य नहीं करता है। यह सार्वभौमिक खोज सभी संस्कृतियों, विश्वासों और पृष्ठभूमियों में मानवता को एकजुट करती है।

फिर भी यहाँ हम एक आवश्यक प्रश्न का सामना करते हैं: यदि हमारे सभी कार्यों का उद्देश्य खुशी है, तो इतने सारे लोग गहराई से दुखी क्यों रहते हैं? इसका उत्तर हमें जीवन के दूसरे उद्देश्य की ओर ले जाता है: आध्यात्मिक विकास।

सच्ची खुशी की प्रकृति

हम जिस खुशी की तलाश करते हैं, वह केवल बाहरी उपलब्धियों या संपत्तियों से मिलने वाला क्षणभंगुर आनंद नहीं है। बल्कि, यह एक गहन अवस्था है जो हमारे भीतर से प्रवाहित होती है जब हम खुद को कुछ कालातीत सिद्धांतों के साथ जोड़ते हैं:

उपस्थिति साधारण क्षणों को असाधारण अनुभवों में बदल देती है। जब एक माँ अपने बच्चे की हँसी में पूरी तरह से डूब जाती है, जब एक माली अपनी उंगलियों के बीच मिट्टी को महसूस करता है, जब दोस्त एक साथ भोजन करते हैं - ये साधारण क्षण वास्तव में उपस्थिति के कारण खुशी के द्वार बन जाते हैं।

कृतज्ञता हमारे पूरे अनुभव को नया रूप देती है। उस व्यक्ति के बारे में सोचें जो गतिशीलता खो देता है और फिर चलने की क्षमता हासिल कर लेता है - हर कदम जश्न मनाने लायक चमत्कार बन जाता है। फिर भी जिन लोगों ने कभी यह क्षमता नहीं खोई है, वे शायद ही कभी चलने में ऐसा आनंद अनुभव करते हैं। कृतज्ञता हमें पहले खोने की आवश्यकता के बिना इस प्रशंसा का अनुभव करने की अनुमति देती है।

जुड़ाव हमारी सबसे गहरी लालसा को पूरा करता है। ध्यान दें कि जीवन के सबसे सुखद क्षणों में लगभग हमेशा जुड़ाव शामिल होता है - बच्चे का जन्म, प्रियजनों के साथ पुनर्मिलन, सामुदायिक उत्सव, या यहाँ तक कि प्रकृति या ईश्वर के साथ गहरा संबंध। यहाँ तक कि अंतर्मुखी लोग भी पाते हैं कि सही गहराई और आवृत्ति पर सार्थक संबंध आत्मा को पोषित करता है।

उद्देश्य हमारे दिनों को अर्थ से भर देता है। मरते हुए व्यक्ति को सम्मान प्रदान करने वाली धर्मशाला की नर्स, छात्रों में जिज्ञासा जगाने वाला शिक्षक, सुंदरता को कैद करने वाला कलाकार, चरित्र का पोषण करने वाला माता-पिता - सभी उद्देश्य से बढ़ी हुई खुशी पाते हैं। साधारण कार्य भी असाधारण बन जाते हैं जब उन्हें सार्थक उद्देश्य से जोड़ दिया जाता है।

स्वीकृति हमें अनावश्यक पीड़ा से मुक्त करती है। जब हम बारिश के दिन को स्वीकार करते हैं, उसके खिलाफ़ गुस्सा करने के बजाय, जब हम अपने बूढ़े शरीर को स्वीकार करते हैं जबकि अभी भी उसकी देखभाल कर रहे हैं, जब हम परिवर्तन को मजबूर करने की कोशिश किए बिना दूसरों की सीमाओं को स्वीकार करते हैं - हम वास्तविकता से लड़ने के थकाऊ बोझ से खुद को मुक्त करते हैं।

आध्यात्मिक प्रगति का मार्ग

सच्ची खुशी को आध्यात्मिक विकास से पूरी तरह से अलग नहीं किया जा सकता है। जैसे-जैसे हम आध्यात्मिक रूप से आगे बढ़ते हैं, हम खुशी के एक गहरे, अधिक लचीले रूप की खोज करते हैं:

आत्म-जागरूकता से ही हमारी घर वापसी की यात्रा शुरू होती है। वह व्यवसायी जो बातचीत के दौरान अपने क्रोध को बढ़ता हुआ देखता है और शांतिपूर्ण प्रतिक्रिया चुनता है, वह माँ जो अपने बचपन से ही पालन-पोषण में उभरने वाले पैटर्न को पहचानती है और सचेत रूप से अलग तरीके से चुनती है, वह छात्र जो परीक्षाओं से पहले चिंता को देखता है और खुद को केंद्रित करना सीखता है - सभी आत्म-जागरूकता का अभ्यास कर रहे हैं जो विकास की ओर ले जाता है।

 

समर्पण हमें एक महान ज्ञान से जोड़ता है। जब कैंसर रोगी कहता है "मैं हर उस चीज़ से लड़ूँगा जिसे मैं नियंत्रित कर सकता हूँ, और जो मैं नहीं कर सकता उसे समर्पित करूँगा," जब माता-पिता अपने बड़े हो चुके बच्चों के रास्तों पर भरोसा करना सीखते हैं, जब हम जीवन की अनिश्चितताओं को खुले दिल से स्वीकार करते हैं - हम उस स्वतंत्रता को खोजते हैं जो समर्पण के साथ आती है।

 

करुणा हमारी पहचान को सीमित आत्म से परे विस्तारित करती है। वह स्वयंसेवक जो आश्रय में सेवा करके संतुष्टि महसूस करता है, वह व्यक्ति जो संकट में किसी अजनबी की मदद करने के लिए रुकता है, वह व्यक्ति जो किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति को माफ़ करता है जिसने उन्हें दर्द पहुँचाया है - सभी अनुभव करते हैं कि कैसे करुणा विरोधाभासी रूप से देने वाले को उतना ही समृद्ध बनाती है जितना कि प्राप्तकर्ता को।

 

ईमानदारी हमारे भीतर और हमारे आस-पास सद्भाव पैदा करती है। वह व्यवसायी नेता जो आसान लाभ के बजाय नैतिकता को चुनता है, वह मित्र जो प्रेम से कठिन सत्य बोलता है, वह व्यक्ति जो असुविधाजनक होने पर भी प्रतिबद्धताओं का सम्मान करता है - सभी अपने मूल्यों के अनुरूप जीवन जीने से मिलने वाले शांत आनंद का अनुभव करते हैं।

भक्ति आध्यात्मिक जीवन की ज्योति जलाती है। वह दादी जो प्रत्येक दिन प्रार्थना से शुरू करती है, वह यात्री जो पहाड़ी रास्तों पर पवित्र संबंध पाता है, वह स्वयंसेवक जो अपने सेवा करने वालों में दिव्य उपस्थिति देखता है, वह कलाकार जो पूजा के कार्य के रूप में सृजन करता है - सभी भक्ति की परिवर्तनकारी शक्ति का उपयोग करते हैं।

सुंदर एकीकरण

विचार करें कि कैसे ये दो उद्देश्य - खुशी और आध्यात्मिक विकास - एक दूसरे के पूरक और पूर्ति करते हैं:

भौतिक सफलता के माध्यम से खुशी की तलाश करने वाला व्यक्ति अक्सर इसकी सीमाओं का पता लगाता है, जो जीवन के गहरे उद्देश्य के बारे में आध्यात्मिक प्रश्नों को जगा सकता है।

अनुशासन और अभ्यास के मार्ग पर चलने वाला आध्यात्मिक साधक परिस्थितियों से परे गहन खुशी की खोज करता है, जो पुष्टि करता है कि वे सही रास्ते पर हैं।

अपने बच्चे की उपलब्धियों के माध्यम से खुशी पाने की उम्मीद करने वाले माता-पिता कभी-कभी दर्दनाक रूप से सीखते हैं कि सच्चा आनंद प्रेमपूर्ण उपस्थिति और स्वीकृति के माध्यम से आता है - दैनिक जीवन में समाहित एक आध्यात्मिक सबक।

न्याय के लिए लड़ने वाले कार्यकर्ता को पता चलता है कि बाहरी परिवर्तन बहुत मायने रखते हैं, लेकिन उनकी आंतरिक शांति केवल परिणामों पर निर्भर नहीं हो सकती - सांसारिक जुड़ाव से पैदा हुई आध्यात्मिक अंतर्दृष्टि।

 

हर दिन इन दोहरे उद्देश्यों को जीने के अनगिनत अवसर प्रदान करता है:

 

हम नाश्ता कैसे करते हैं - जल्दबाजी में ध्यान भटकाने या कृतज्ञतापूर्ण उपस्थिति के साथ।

 

हम अपने परिवार का अभिवादन कैसे करते हैं - चिढ़ आदत या प्रेमपूर्ण जागरूकता के साथ।

 

हम अपने काम को कैसे करते हैं - अर्थहीन थकान या उद्देश्यपूर्ण सेवा के रूप में।

 

हम निराशाओं को कैसे संभालते हैं - कटु प्रतिरोध या विकास-दिमाग वाली स्वीकृति के साथ।

 

हम अजनबी के साथ कैसा व्यवहार करते हैं - उदासीन अलगाव या करुणामय संबंध के साथ।

 

सबसे सुंदर सत्य यह है कि ये दो उद्देश्य अलग-अलग रास्ते नहीं बल्कि एक ही यात्रा हैं। प्रामाणिक खुशी की ओर हर कदम आध्यात्मिक जागृति की ओर एक कदम है। आध्यात्मिक विकास में हर कदम अधिक गहन खुशी को प्रकट करता है।

 

यह समझ धार्मिक सीमाओं को पार करती है जबकि प्रत्येक परंपरा द्वारा दी जाने वाली बुद्धि का सम्मान करती है। चाहे हम ईश्वर, ब्रह्मांड, उच्च चेतना या केवल अस्तित्व के रहस्य की बात करें, हम उसे नाम देने का प्रयास कर रहे हैं जो अंततः नामों से परे है - वह स्रोत जिससे हम आए हैं और जिसकी ओर हमारी आध्यात्मिक प्रगति हमें मार्गदर्शन करती है।

 

जागृत जीवन जीने का आह्वान

मैं अब आपको इस दोहरे उद्देश्य को पूरी जागरूकता और इरादे के साथ अपनाने के लिए आमंत्रित करता हूँ। आज से शुरू करें:

अपनी खोजों की ईमानदारी से जाँच करें। खुद से पूछें: "क्या मैं खुशी की तलाश कर रहा हूँ जहाँ यह वास्तव में नहीं मिल सकती?" अपनी ऊर्जा को उस ओर पुनर्निर्देशित करें जो क्षणिक आनंद के बजाय स्थायी संतुष्टि प्रदान करे।

एक ऐसा दैनिक अभ्यास शुरू करें जो खुशी और आध्यात्मिक विकास दोनों को पोषित करे। पाँच मिनट का ध्यान, कृतज्ञता जर्नलिंग, माइंडफुल वॉकिंग या भक्तिपूर्ण पठन समय के साथ गहरा परिवर्तन शुरू कर सकता है।

अधिक उपस्थिति और करुणा के साथ जुड़ने के लिए एक रिश्ता चुनें। देखें कि कैसे यह छोटा सा बदलाव आपके और उनके जीवन में सकारात्मक बदलाव की लहरें पैदा करता है।

इस समझ को दूसरों के साथ साझा करें, उपदेश के माध्यम से नहीं, बल्कि जीवित उदाहरण के माध्यम से। जैसे-जैसे आप वास्तविक खुशी और आध्यात्मिक संरेखण को अपनाते हैं, आप उन लोगों के लिए प्रकाशस्तंभ बन जाते हैं जो अभी भी खोज रहे हैं।

रास्ते में अपरिहार्य ठोकरों के लिए खुद को माफ़ करें। मार्ग पूर्णता के बारे में नहीं है बल्कि लगातार वापसी के बारे में है - बार-बार उस चीज़ पर वापस आना जो वास्तव में मायने रखती है।

 

हमेशा याद रखें कि आप इस यात्रा में अकेले नहीं हैं। समय और स्थान के पार, अनगिनत आत्माएँ खुशी और आध्यात्मिक तृप्ति की ओर इसी मार्ग पर चलती हैं। पवित्र ग्रंथों और परंपराओं में दर्ज उनकी बुद्धिमता आपका मार्गदर्शन करने के लिए तैयार है। परिवर्तन का समय अभी है। तब नहीं जब परिस्थितियाँ सुधर जाएँ, तब नहीं जब आपके पास ज़्यादा संसाधन हों, तब नहीं जब आप ज़्यादा योग्य महसूस करें - बल्कि इसी क्षण। क्योंकि केवल वर्तमान में ही हम सच्ची खुशी का अनुभव कर सकते हैं और आध्यात्मिक जागृति की ओर अपना अगला कदम बढ़ा सकते हैं। हम सभी को इस दोहरे उद्देश्य के साथ जीने का साहस मिले, यह जानते हुए कि उनके पूर्ण एकीकरण में वह गहन तृप्ति निहित है जिसकी तलाश हमारे दिलों ने हमेशा की है। हज़ारों मील की यात्रा एक कदम से शुरू होती है - आपकी यात्रा आज से शुरू हो।
