God's Love that makes you Satisfied and Perfect by Swami Mukundananda
Main Points:
1 bhakti is one on attaining which a person becomes perfect, immortal and satisfied , Naradji first defined what bhakti is and now he's explaining the consequences of bhakti https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=0 2 Narad ji says that human being who attains bhakti will become sidh, amrit and tripto - three words https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=67 3 mystic powers are sometimes called siddhis, there are mystic abilities they are wrongly understood as spiritual, however in the spiritual path they are not considered valuable https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=86 4 example quoted why sidhis are not valuable in spirituality, there is the story that swami Vivekananda was going with the yogi... https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=125 5 also these mystic abilities are such that they are achieved through austerity & as you use them, they keep decreasing, hence somebody with an illumined intellect, by guru's grace somebody who has received divine knowledge and has established the proper value system inside does not accord any value any importance to these siddhis https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=195 6 even if God tries to tempt such a person (devotee), they are not tempted like Kag Bushundi (the famous immortal crow devotee) was not by Lord Rama https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=233 7 Kag Bushundi said to Lord Rama, I don't want Ridhi (material opulences), sidhi (yogic sidhis) or moksh BUT I want Your Bhakti https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=244 8 so Kag Bushundi is rejecting siddhi for bhakti and Narad ji says when you get bhakti you will become sidh, what kind of contradiction is this? Naradji means something else from siddh, siddh also means perfect https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=377 9 meaning of "sidh" is explained https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=405 10 if you get bhakti you will become “sidh” in other words you will become a perfected person, Kripaluji maharaj explains further what is this perfection that your heart will become soft, in love for God, all the the hardness, the ugliness of the heart (mind) will disappear https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=585 11 so Narad ji says the first incentive is giving you the first incentive that through bhakti you will become sidh and the second one he says you will become Amrit (immortal) https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=648 12 right now we are in mrityu lok, this plane of existence where there's repeated death birth disease old age and death that's why Shankaracharya says O soul, you are repeatedly born ,you repeatedly die and repeatedly hang upside down in a mother's womb, then again you are born then again you die then again you hang upside down in a mother's womb - this has been going on and on and on https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=672 13 listen to the example of a person in the jail whose term got over .... But he said he would come back to jail once again & then again https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=746 14 but then we realize O my God this is a place of misery and suffering look how i am Ashashvatam (temporary place) & there is danger of misery suffering at every step but that leads to the desire for liberation, that is mukti so the Gyani's goal in life is mukti how do I get liberated and never be born again, that is what the gyani considers the highest goal but the bhakt (devotee) says no no no I don't want even mukti because that is also selfishness https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=789 15 “Now i want my liberation” he says no I only want Your selfless devotion birth after birth Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said he says I don't want the opulences of the world, I don't want high status in position, I don't want wealth, then what do you want every lifetime, I should get Your devotion so the devotee doesn't even want liberation https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=834 16 that is why Bharat maharaj (younger brother of Rama), when he was going to meet Rama in the forest with the residents of Ayodhya, they reached Prayag.. and Bharat prays to Prayag tirthraj, Prayag is called Tirthraj, king of all holy places, I don't want धर्म अर्थ काम मोक्ष , i don't want this this this this, Tirthraj Prayag says everybody comes here begging for things, give me this, give me this, give me this, and Bharat has come with the reverse list , I don't want this, I don't want this, then what do you want, so Bharat says that in every birth, may my mind remain attached to the lotus feet of my Rama, I want nothing else https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=885 17 so the devotee is nishkam, without desires, still God says that since you have got bhakti, now mukti will be automatic, buy one and get one free, mukti is a natural consequence of bhakti https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=1021 18 so Naradji says that with bhakti, you would become Amrita, you will become immortal and you would become "tripto" (तृप्त) you will become satiated this tripto is a very tricky term it can be your best friend and worst enemy , in the world if you are not satisfied you will keep chasing an illusion or a delusion so in the world tripty is very important and in the spiritual realm if you become tript oh i'm absolutely all right I am a surrendered soul then you will not try to progress so in the spiritual side it's important to feel atript (अतृप्त) -unsatisfied https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=1146 19 that is why you need to keep contradictory principles in the material and spiritual realms reg. "tripti" (satisfied in world BUT not satisfied in spirituality) https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=1210 20 always be content in these three things: be content in your spouse, be content in your food, be content in your wealth https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=1232 21 and in the spiritual field, don't be contented in your accumulation of spiritual knowledge, in your chanting of the names of God, in your giving in charity and serving always think, I have so much more to do https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=1271 22 actually the spiritual tripty or contentment is a dynamic state in other words you will become tript then again thirsty for more, again you will become satisfied then again thirsty then again satisfied then again thirsty https://youtu.be/0L-AM3H8ZBY&t=1312 ! Transcript 0:00 Bhakti's perfection on attaining which 0:03 a person becomes 0:05 perfect 0:07 immortal 0:09 and satisfied 0:14 the naradji first 0:17 defined what bhakti is 0:22 and now he's explaining the consequences 0:25 of bhakti 0:28 being an acharya 0:31 he is a teacher of the supreme science 0:34 of devotion 0:37 and he knows 0:39 that in order to teach he needs 0:41 receptive students 0:45 receptivity requires the students to 0:48 know what the benefits of this bhakti 0:51 will be 0:52 that is why he is marketing it 0:56 or he is capturing the interest of the 0:58 people look 1:01 if you get this bhakti 1:03 then listen what all will happen 1:07 so he says 1:11 that human being 1:13 who attains bhakti 1:16 will become sidh 1:18 amrit and tripto 1:21 three words 1:2 sidh 1:26 mystic powers are sometimes called 1:28 siddhis 1:32 verse 1:41 there are mystic abilities 1:44 they are wrongly understood as spiritual 1:47 powers 1:50 so as a result of yogic sadhana 1:54 yogis achieve these siddhis 1:58 however 1:59 in the spiritual path they are not 2:02 considered valuable 2:05 that is why there is the story 2:08 that swami vivekananda 2:11 was going with the yogi 2:13 discussing spiritual topics 2:17 when a stream came in front 2:20 the yogi had the ability for levitation 2:25 he walked across the stream and looked 2:27 back 2:28 you have not learned the siddhi you also 2:30 walk 2:32 swami vivekananda said i've got my way 2:35 of doing it 2:36 he walked downstream and found the boat 2:40 he paid the boatman two paise 2:43 and crossed over 2:45 so when they reunited the yogi said 2:49 what spiritual sadhana have you done 2:51 when you can't even walk on the water 2:55 swami vivekananda said my spiritual 2:58 sadhana 2:59 is not for walking on water but for 3:02 purifying the mind 3:05 your spiritual sadhana which you have 3:07 done is worth two paise 3:10 because i was able to cross the stream 3:12 in two paise 3:14 and 3:15 these mystic abilities are such that as 3:18 you use them 3:20 they keep decreasing 3:23 they are achieved through austerity and 3:26 they keep on decreasing 3:29 hence 3:31 somebody 3:32 with an illumined intellect 3:35 by guru's grace 3:38 somebody who has received divine 3:40 knowledge 3:42 and has established the proper value 3:45 system inside 3:47 does not accord any value any importance 3:51 to these siddhis 3:53 even if god tries to tempt such a person (devotee) 3:58 they are not tempted 4:00 like 4:01 Kag bushundi was not 4:04 lord rama asked 4:29 I am extremely pleased with you 4:33 god is pleased 4:35 i will give you what you want 4:38 here is the whole table 4:40 you want siddhi, ridhi 4:44 or moksha 4:46 do you want mystic abilities 4:50 do you want material opulences 4:53 or do you want liberation 4:56 very cunningly rama did not name 4:59 bhakti 5:01 and he named other such allurements 5:06 but kag bushundi was the true disciple 5:09 of a true guru 5:11 and that is why he said maharaja what 5:14 are you giving me 5:16 am i the only person you wish to make a 5:18 buddhu today 5:20 you're making a fool of me 5:23 but kak bhushandi i am offering you such 5:25 wonderful things 5:30 i want none of these 5:32 give it to your more intelligent 5:34 children 5:36 as far as i'm concerned 5:46 yogis 6:04 which big yogis and munis are searching 6:08 for 6:09 and one out of many gets 6:12 by your grace maharaja i want that 6:15 Bhakthi 6:17 so kag bushundi is rejecting siddhi 6:20 for bhakti 6:22 and naradji says when you get bhakti you 6:26 will become sidh 6:30 what kind of contradiction 6:33 Naradji means something else from 6:36 siddh 6:39 siddh also means perfect 6:45 make something sidh means perfect it 6:50 like what is the perfection of rice 6:53 when you cook it and it becomes soft and 6:56 edible then you say 6:59 siddha 7:01 the mahatmas 7:03 you know if you ever stay with the 7:04 mahatmas 7:06 and you tell them “Khana khao”, chi chi gandi baat, prasad paao, not Khana khao 7:13 so similarly they to cook they 7:16 say siddh kar do 7:19 once 7:20 34 years ago 7:23 we did a trek to yamnotri at that time 7:26 there were no roads 7:28 so it was a seven hour walk to go and 7:31 you had to come back the same day 7:33 we were a group of 35 people 7:36 going around 7:38 so we went 7:39 it was like that donkey path 7:42 up down like this finally when we 7:44 reached yamnotri where the river 7:46 yamuna begins 7:48 there's a hot spring there the surya 7:53 kund 7:54 so it's extremely hot 7:56 then it falls in the next place a little 7:58 less hot then it falls a little less hot 8:00 place 8:01 because yamana is the daughter of surya 8:04 and that is why her birthplace has this 8:06 spring 8:08 then we discovered this 8:10 cave up there 8:12 so we all walked up the cave was 8:14 connected to the spring 8:16 the moment we entered the cave there 8:18 were three mahatmas there 8:20 come come he said my god such 8:23 hospitality you must be really hungry 8:27 so the mahatma who was the guru he told 8:29 his disciples 8:31 make the rice sidh for them 8:34 so the disciple he took the rice and a 8:36 cloth and put it 8:38 in the spring water and he cooked it and 8:40 got it for us 8:43 it was like sheer nectar because after 8:46 seven hours up and down the hill 8:48 everything would have tasted 8:50 and the rice cooked there in the stream 8:54 so we three of us had gone up and we 8:56 received this royal treatment so we went 8:58 and spread the word and seven more went 9:01 and we went and spread the word and all 9:02 of them went 9:04 and they were feeding 20 30 people 9:07 where do you get all this in your cave 9:10 they said you know people come and give 9:12 it 9:13 then we came to know that in the winter 9:16 there's 30 foot of snow there 9:19 so the government instruction 9:21 used to be nobody will stay there 9:23 but their guru that mahatma he had the 9:25 government permission to stay there 9:28 in the winters so the language they use 9:31 is chaval 9:34 make the chaval the rice sidh which means 9:36 perfect it by cooking 9:39 so naradji says 9:45 if you get bhakti 9:47 you will become sidh 9:50 in other words you will become a 9:53 perfected person 9:57 kripaluji maharaja explains further 10:00 what is this perfection 10:04 your heart 10:06 will become 10:07 soft 10:09 in love for god all the 10:14 the hardness the ugliness will disappear 10:18 and in love for god when your heart 10:22 melts 10:23 that is the siddhi 10:26 so bhakti will lead you to the 10:29 perfection 10:31 the bible says be 10:33 perfect even as your father in heaven is 10:37 perfect 10:39 god wants you to be perfect mam ekam 10:42 Sharanam braj 10:44 and that perfection will be reached 10:47 through bhakti 10:48 so narad ji says the first incentive 10:52 is giving you the first incentive 10:55 that through bhakti you will become sidh 10:57 and the second one he says you will 11:00 become amrit 11:04 Mrit means 11:05 dead 11:06 amrit means 11:07 beyond that 11:09 Immortal 11:11 so 11:12 right now we are in mrityu lok 11:16 this plane of existence where there's 11:19 repeated death 11:21 birth disease old age and death 11:23 that's why shankaracharya says 12:01 soul 12:03 you are repeatedly born 12:05 you repeatedly die 12:08 and repeatedly hang upside down in a 12:11 mother's womb 12:13 then again you are born then again you 12:16 die then again you hang upside down in a 12:19 mother's womb this has been going on and 12:22 on and on 12:26 like there was a person in the jail 12:29 his term got over 12:32 so 12:33 the rules of the jail were when the 12:35 prisoner was discharged 12:37 he used to be given 12:39 his 12:40 mattress on which he is to sleep 12:43 and his cup and plate 12:45 this prisoner on completion of his turn 12:47 was being released 12:50 so these items are given to him 12:53 he said there is no need, keep them here 12:55 i'm going to come back very soon 13:00 he knows he's going to come back so this 13:02 is also the jail house of god 13:04 and we are all eager to come back here 13:07 again and again 13:09 but then we realize my god this is a 13:13 place of misery and suffering 13:15 look how i am ashashvatam 13:19 there is danger of misery suffering at 13:23 every step 13:25 but that leads to the desire for 13:28 liberation 13:30 that is mukti 13:33 so the gyani's goal in life is mukti how 13:36 do i get liberated and never be born 13:39 again 13:40 that is what the gyani 13:42 considers the highest goal but the bhakt (devotee) 13:45 says no no no i don't want even mukti 13:48 because that is also selfishness 13:52 the self-seeking tendency has gone there 13:54 “Now i want my liberation” he says no i 13:58 only want your selfless devotion birth 14:02 after birth 14:04 chaitanya mahaprabhu said 14:23 he says i don't want the opulences of 14:26 the world 14:27 i don't want high status in position i 14:31 don't want wealth 14:34 then what do you want every lifetime i 14:38 should get your devotion 14:41 so the devotee doesn't even want 14:43 Liberation 14:45 that is why bharat maharaj 14:48 when he was going 14:50 to meet rama in the forest 14:55 with the residents of ayodhya 14:58 they reached prayag 15:01 and when Bharat saw 15:03 you see they were going 15:05 from the ganga now they see the yamuna 15:09 so the ganga is whitish colored and the 15:12 yamuna is bluish 15:14 so he saw the bluish color of the yamuna 15:17 it reminded him 15:18 of ram 15:21 Verse: raghuvara vara 15:24 vari 15:38 then he said what will people say he 15:39 controlled himself 15:42 so 15:43 that bharat 15:45 now where the ganga and yamana meet is 15:47 the Prayag, tirthraj prayag 15:50 so he reached prayag 15:53 and he prays to tirthraj 16:05 he's saying oh king of all holy places 16:09 prayag is called 16:11 Tirthraj, king of all holy places 16:16 i don't want dharam earth 16:19 i don't want this this this this 16:23 tirthraj prayag says 16:26 everybody comes here begging for things 16:29 give me this give me this give me this 16:32 and he's come with the reverse list i 16:34 don't want this i don't want this i 16:36 don't want this i don't want this 16:38 what do you want 16:40 so he says 16:50 Every birth 16:51 may my mind remain attached to the lotus 16:55 feet of my ram 16:58 i want nothing else 17:01 so the devotee is 17:02 nishkam without desires 17:06 still 17:07 god says you have got bhakti 17:10 now mukti will be automatic 17:14 you did not ask for mukti 17:16 but it was 17:18 buy one and get one free 17:22 once you have got bhakti then you don't 17:24 need to remain in this jail house 17:27 the jail house was until you reach that 17:31 siddhi 17:32 once you have reached there, the jail has 17:35 no purpose 17:37 you pass school you go into college now 17:41 similarly as long as we were bereft of 17:44 god consciousness we were in the 17:46 material jail 17:48 and now that we have 17:50 become sidh 17:52 this jail becomes 17:55 the improper place for us so mukti is a 17:59 natural consequence of bhakti 18:03 that is why 18:05 one devotee says 18:24 i heard your name is gopal 18:28 one who loves the cows 18:31 i was very fond of milk 18:36 so that is why i started devoting myself 18:39 to you that through your bhakti i will 18:42 go to your divine abode 18:44 and there will be lots of cows 18:49 but what was the consequence of your 18:51 bhakti 18:53 the consequence was in every lifetime i 18:57 used to drink my mother's milk 19:00 now that got stolen because i got 19:03 liberated from the cycle of life and 19:05 death 19:06 so naradji says amrita, you will become 19:11 immortal 19:14 and tripto 19:16 you will become satiated 19:19 this tripto 19:22 is a very tricky term 19:25 it can be your best friend 19:28 and worst enemy 19:31 in the world if you are not satisfied 19:34 you will keep chasing 19:37 an illusion 19:38 or a delusion 19:40 so in the world 19:42 tripty is very important 19:46 and in the spiritual realm if you become 19:48 tript 19:52 oh i'm absolutely all right i am a 19:55 surrendered soul 19:56 then you will not try to progress 20:00 so in the spiritual side it's important 20:03 to feel atript 20:05 i have not surrendered at all as yet i 20:08 need to do it 20:10 that is why you need to keep 20:13 contradictory principles in the material 20:16 and spiritual realms 20:32 be content in your spouse 20:45 be content in your 20:47 food 20:49 be content 20:51 in your wealth 20:53 whatever god has given i have two rotis 20:56 to eat good enough 20:58 so santosha 21:00 in this material realm be content 21:03 contentment is a wealth 21:06 because contentment will bring you peace 21:11 and in the spiritual field 21:13 don't be contented 21:21 in your accumulation of spiritual 21:23 knowledge 21:26 in your chanting of the names of god 21:30 in your 21:31 giving in charity and serving 21:34 always think i have so much more to do 21:39 so 21:41 you should not be contented but narad ji 21:44 is saying that you become contented 21:47 tript 21:49 in the spiritual side you come tript 21:52 actually the spiritual 21:54 tript 21:56 or contentment is a dynamic 22:00 state 22:01 in other words you will become tript 22:03 then again 22:06 you will become satisfied then again 22:08 thirsty then again satisfied then again 22:11 Thirsty 22:12 because when you 22:14 receive bhakti you will get the bliss of! 22:16 god 22:18 just like someday if you sit and do your 22:21 kirtan very well with roop-dhyan 22:24 a few tears flow then your heart feels 22:27 contented ah today was so satisfying 22:32 but then the contentment says okay 22:35 again the thirst arises now little more 22:37 then a little more so the spiritual 22:40 contentment is such that 22:48 valmiki had told rama 22:51 rama asked 22:53 that where should i stay in the forest i 22:56 have got 14 years to spend 22:59 so valmiki responded 23:11 you stay in the hearts of those devotees 23:14 of yours 23:16 whose tears 23:17 are like the ocean 23:19 in hearing your glories 23:22 the ocean receives the stream 23:25 and still doesn't get satiated 23:38 those devotees of yours who have such a 23:42 thirst to hear your glories that they 23:45 keep on hearing they are satiated and 23:48 yet thirsty 23:50 you stay in the hearts of those devotees 23:53 O Ram 23:55 so that kind of tripty 23:58 is the state that bhakti brings you to 24:02 the narad ji 24:04 gets full marks for being a good 24:07 marketing agent of god and bhakti Standby link (in case youtube link does not
