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”?
