INITIATION TO SPIRITUALITY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhcBXUrwSag&list=PLI9pJ1j5Go3tIR9SwkoTdcTm-EhrmGIM2&index=2 *कोई भी व्यक्ति इस गीता के ज्ञान को ले सकता है* https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=151 & https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=234  *विद्या दान है सर्वश्रेष्ठ दान और ज्ञान*  https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=178 *मैं आध्यात्मिक विद्या दान तो कर रहा हूँ पर मैंने कुछ छोड़ा नहीं है, मगर फर्क इतना है (आप खाना खाते हो मैं प्रसाद पाता हूँ, आप अपना घर कहते हो मैं प्रभु का घर कहता हूँ, Teacher मैं भी हूँ आप भी हो, आप अपने बच्चों को सिखाते हो*) https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=248 

*हकीकत में आप कुछ छोड़ नहीं सकते, जोड़ सकते हैं ; यदि अच्छी आदतों को जोड़ोगे, तभी बुरी आदतें छूटेगीं (मैं गरीबी को खत्म करना चाहता हूँ, तो अमीर बन, मैं अज्ञान को दूर करना चाहता हूँ तो ज्ञानी बन, बिमारी छूट नहीं सकती, डॉक्टर की सलाह को जोड़ लो तब बिमारी छूटेगी*)

(*इसी तरह से सबसे बढ़िया है यदि भगवान को जोड़ लो अपने से, तो सब अच्छी आदतें और बातें अपने आप मिल जाएगी आपको - यानी वास्तव में अच्छी आदत तो केवल एक ही है और वो है भगवान से जुड़ने की* मगर  *यदि भगवान से नहीं जुड़े, तो चाहे जितनी भी so called अच्छी आदतें, दुनिया की परिभाषा में हैं, जन्म मृत्यु के कुचक्र से नहीं निकाल सकती*) https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=315  *भगवद गीता के आगे और कुछ ज्ञान ही नहीं है*  https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=376  *आप यहाँ सत्संग में क्यों आए हैं, आप अपना Time निकाल के आये हैं और Time से ज्यादा valuable कुछ नहीं है because money cannot buy Time BUT Time can buy money, Time की गरिमा को समझिए*  https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=460  *मनुष्य जीवन बड़ा दुर्लभ है, जो हमें भागवत प्राप्ति में लगाना चाहिए, बिन सत्संग विवेक ना होई, राम कृपा बिन सुलभ ना सोई (you cannot develop your own discrimination power without satsang but satsang is not available without Lord's grace*) https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=623 *ये मेरा प्रवचन नहीं है भगवान का प्रवचन है मैं तो केवल उनका mike (speaker) हूँ*  https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=719 *आप सत्संग में इसलिए आए हैं क्योंकि आप आनंद पाना चाहते हैं* https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=811  *आप मुक्ति या मोक्ष को प्राप्त करना क्यों चाहते हैं, आनंद पाने के लिए* https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=843  *यानी आप मानते है की संसार में केवल दुख है इसलिए मोक्ष चाहते हो* https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=973  *प्रत्येक व्यक्ति मुक्ति की तरफ अग्रसर है यानी मुक्ति चाहता है दुखों से, क्यों, क्योंकि आप आनंद पाना चाहते हैं* https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=994  *भगवद गीता की शुरुआत में ही अर्जुन शोकायुक्त (sad, mournful) था और भगवान से प्रार्थना करता है कि कैसे आनंद प्राप्ति हो* https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=1110  *आध्यात्मिक ज्ञान खुद अकेले पढ़ के समझ में नहीं आ सकता, जब ज्ञान को क्रमबद्ध (systematic) तरीके से लिया जाता है तो विद्या कहलाती है, और विद्या ही जीवन में उपयोगी होती है* https://youtu.be/RhcBXUrwSag&t=1133

प्रत्येक जीव किन-किन गुलामियों में जकड़ा है? by Kripalu ji maharaj

प्रत्येक जीव किन-किन गुलामियों में जकड़ा है?

प्रत्येक जीव किन-किन गुलामियों में जकड़ा है जानिये.mp4

https://youtu.be/bMf3Y1EwQsw?si=of3gAliKc4vBxEz7

0.25 जीव अनादि काल से 84 लाख योनियों में घूम रहा है

0.51 संसार में जितने भी मां-बाप होते हैं सब स्वार्थी होते हैं (या और कोई भी), जब तक जीव को भगवत प्राप्ति नहीं होती तब तक वह स्वार्थी "ही" रहेगा, स्वार्थी "भी" नहीं

1.38 कई लोग शान से कह देते हैं कि भगवान ना करें मुझे किसी के आगे हाथ फैलाना पड़े, अरे बचपन से हाथ ही फैलाते आए हो

2.46 कोई मयबद्ध जीव कैसे गुलाम नहीं होगा - काल का गुलाम, कर्म का गुलाम, सात्विक राजसिक तामसिक गुणों का गुलाम

3.20 "काल कर्म स्वभाव गुण घेरा" - तीन ताप का गुलाम, पंच क्लेश का गुलाम, पंचकोश का गुलाम, तीन प्रकार के शरीर का गुलाम - अनेक गुलामियों से बंधा हुआ है जीव 

3.57  विषय भोगों (worldly vices) में जो हमारी आसक्ती (attachment) है उसकी शास्त्र में विष्ठा (latrine) से तुलना की गई है, सूअर विष्ठा खाकर बहुत प्रसन्न रहता है, यह मानव की स्थिति भी कुछ ऐसी ही है सूअर जैसी

5.07 मानव देह, जिसकी देवता इच्छा रखते हैं, ऐसा शरीर पाकर भी हमने उसका भारी दुरुपयोग कर डाला

हनुमान जी पर आई शनि की दशा HG Amogh Lila Prabhu.mp4

0.04 शनि की दशा हनुमान जी पर, साड़े 7 साल, पहले ढाई साल सिर में आता हूं, फिर ढाई साल पेट में, फिर ढाई साल पांव में

https://youtu.be/Q-r4ZnY8kCc&t=4 2.46 एक बार शनि देव, हनुमान जी में आ गए, पहले 7:30 मिनट में ही इतने परेशान हो गए हनुमान जी से, हनुमान जी ने भगवान की परिक्रमा की, हनुमान जी ने सुझाव दिया शनिदेव जी को सरसों का तेल लगाइए (messaage (मालिश) के लिए) तब से सरसों के तेल की परंपरा शुरू हुई है https://youtu.be/Q-r4ZnY8kCc&t=166 3.37 वैसे तो शनि देव भौतिक रुप से खराब हैं मगर आध्यात्मिक उन्नति के लिए बढ़िया हैं, सारे भक्तों पर शनि है https://youtu.be/Q-r4ZnY8kCc&t=217 4.50 रावण सब नौ ग्रहों के ऊपर पैर रखकर चलते थे उसके बाद सिंहासन पर बैठते थे, उन्होंने शनिदेव को जेल में डाल रखा था, वरुण (जल के देवता) देव माली थे, इंद्र सफाई करते थे https://youtu.be/Q-r4ZnY8kCc&t=290 6.10 हनुमान जी ने लंका में सभी देवी देवता, जो बंधक थे, उनको छुड़वाया https://youtu.be/Q-r4ZnY8kCc&t=370 6.35 शनि देव ने हनुमान जी को वचन दिया कि जो हरि का भक्त होगा उस पर कभी शनि की कुदृष्टि नहीं पड़ेगी https://youtu.be/Q-r4ZnY8kCc&t=395 6.46 शनिदेव आते हैं हमारा अहंकार तोड़ने के लिए और जो humble हो जाएगा, विनम्र हो जाएगा, तृणादपि सुनीचेन तरोरपि सहिष्णुना। अमानिना मानदेन कीर्तनीयः सदा हरिः, उसको शनिदेव कुछ नहीं करेंगे https://youtu.be/Q-r4ZnY8kCc&t=406 Meaning of "तृणादपि सुनीचेन तरोरपि सहिष्णुना। अमानिना मानदेन कीर्तनीयः सदा हरिः" One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly. 7.50 शनी बड़े धीरे चलते हैं आपकी life को भी धीरे कर देंगे, दुनिया आगे निकल जाएगी आप पीछे रह जाओगे, आप अकेले रह जाओगे तो फिर आपके साथ कौन रहेंगे, हरि https://youtu.be/Q-r4ZnY8kCc&t=470 8.15 इसलिए जो हरि भक्ति करते हैं उन्हें अंगूठी वगैरा कुछ पहनने की जरूरत नहीं, आपका बुध भी कमजोर है, आपका गुरु कि भी कुदृष्टि (bad eye) है, आप यह पहन लीजिए, वह पहन लीजिए, भक्त कहता है नहीं मुझे कुछ नहीं पहनना ,हम तो पहनेंगे केवल "हरे कृष्णा हरे कृष्णा" Mahamantra https://youtu.be/Q-r4ZnY8kCc&t=495 9.05 एक बार प्रभुपाद जी को किसी ने कहा मेरी कुंडली में राहु है उन्होंने कहा केवल 16 माला करो, follow 4 regulative principles https://youtu.be/Q-r4ZnY8kCc&t=545 9.24 Prabhupad ji ने कह एक एक लात मारूंगा तो 1000 (हजारों) राहू केतु एक बार में निकल जाएंगे https://youtu.be/Q-r4ZnY8kCc&t=564 https://krishnabff.blogspot.com/2021/07/by-amogh-lila-prabhu.html

HOW TO BECOME HAPPY WHILE IN THIS WORLD and BEYOND #blog0096

HOW TO BECOME HAPPY WHILE IN THIS WORLD & BEYOND

 

We ourselves choose to take birth in this material world by our own actions & foolishly do not want to get rid of this birth, disease, old age & death cycle.

We say "Time नहीं है for spirituality" due to our super ignorance (darkness in our minds).

And if we land up in this material world due to our own so called illusive freedom ("This is my life"), we have no choice but to follow the laws of material nature, i.e., work hard like asses for our living and do Tough, Tougher, Toughest Exercises but still go through all the miseries of life.

So called happiness in this material world "obtained" by travelling to different places, partying with so called friends & relatives, drinking, eating food, watching movies is also very temporary & brings in its wake a life long hard work to earn that happiness which is actually a mirage.

The only wise choice we can & should make is to surrender to Lord Krishna as advised by He Himself & get eternal bliss at His own abode where there is no birth, disease, old age & death.

Surender means we remember Him all the time while doing our jobs & dedicate all our actions, words & deeds to Him ,i.e., doing everything for His sake, His pleasure, rather than our own senses' self-gratification.

There is no question of "Time नहीं है for spirituality" as we do not have to take out "Time" for Lord, it is our God oriented attitude towards everything in life & only this 24x7 mental makeup while doing all routine daily actions can make us happy.

आपका प्रत्येक कर्म भक्ती बन जाएगा
बजाय की भक्ति एक कर्म बन कर जाए

This is called His devotional bhakti & only this will as as an automatic byproduct make you happy, otherwise nothing else in this world can make you happy, howsoever "Tough" exercises or work you do like asses or travelling or partying or food eating etc etc simply because this world is not designed by Lord to be a happy place.

Best way to divert or rather keep your mind absorbed in thoughts of Krishna is by way of जाप (chanting His holy name by महा मंत्र), reading (best reading is Gita & Srimad Bhagavatam), listening about Him & dedicating your thoughts, words & actions only for His sake & His pleasure, NOT FOR OUR OWN SENSE GRATIFICATION, i.e., we do everything for His pleasure, not our pleasure - This is Krishna Consciousness.

This way, you'll automatically become happy as a consequence of becoming Krishna Consciousness because we will be acting as per the design of the Lord & if we work a machine as per its designed specifications, machine runs "happily".

IMPORTANCE OF SPEAKING SOFTLY - AS QUOTED BY SATHYA SAI

 

*IMPORTANCE OF SPEAKING SOFTLY - 

AS QUOTED BY SATHYA SAI*

 

Pl. read below a few extracts of Sathya Sai's discourses on the topic of "SPEAK SWEETLY"

 

1

*Speak softly, sweetly*, without malice in your heart; speak as if you are addressing the Sai who resides in every one. - Baba

One of the first principles of straight living is: Practice silence. For, the voice of God can be heard in the region of your heart only when the tongue is stilled. Then the storm is still and the waves are calm. *There will be no temptation for others to shout when you talk to them in whispers.*

*Set the level of tone yourself: As low as possible*, as high as necessary to reach the outermost boundary of the circle you are addressing. Conserve sound, since it is the treasure of the element space (Akasha), an emanation from God Himself.

Reason can prevail only when arguments are advanced without the whipping up of sound. Silence is the speech of the spiritual seeker. *Soft sweet speech* is the expression of genuine love. Hate screeches, fear squeals and conceit trumpets. But love sings lullabies; it soothes and applies balm. Practice the vocabulary of love; unlearn the language of hate and contempt! -

Divine Discourse, Feb 19,1970.

2

*Talk sweetly and softly. You cannot always oblige, but you can always speak obligingly.*

Divine Discourse, Apr 14, 1999.

3

*The senses are gifted by God for humans to lead ideal lives. See good, think good thoughts, speak sweet words* and listen to what is good. Be good and do good. The ancient Indian Sages practised silence as a spiritual discipline because they realised the myriad benefits derived from *Mounam (silence)*.  Swami Vivekananda learnt a valuable lesson when he found that after ten days of endless talk, he had forgotten all the shlokas (verses) he had learnt by heart. By practising complete silence for a fortnight he got back his memory powers. People should realise that God's grace is secured by the sacred use of the senses endowed on man by the Divine. 

Divine Discourse, Oct 06, 1997

4

*Talk soft, talk sweet, talk only of God* - that is the process of softening the subsoil. Develop compassion and empathy; engage in service, understand the agony of poverty, disease, distress and despair; and share both tears and cheers with others. That is the way to soften the heart, and help sadhana to succeed. -

Divine Discourse, May 10, 1969.

5

*Fill every word of yours with love, fill every act of yours with love. The word that emerges from your tongue shall not stab like a knife, wound like arrows, or hit like a hammer. It must be a foundation of sweet nectar, a counsel of wisdom, a soft path of blossoms; it must shower peace and joy*.

Divine Discourse, Jul 29, 1969.

6

Spend your life in cherishing sacred thoughts, listening to good things, *speaking good words*, and doing good deeds.

Divine Discourse, Apr 14, 1993

7

Love for all should spontaneously flow from your heart and *sweeten your words*.

Divine Discourse, Mar 30, 1973

 

8

*Do not soil your tongue using it for uttering dirty words. Utter God’s name*

Divine Discourse, Apr 1973.

9

To remember the omnipresent Divine, to chant His glories and adore Him, you need the tongue (power of speech). Jayadeva *hailed the tongue as a God-given instrument to glorify the Lord. This sacred instrument should not be misused in any way for speaking ill of others or causing unhappiness to them. As enjoined in the Gita, avoid unpleasant speech and use only words that are true, comforting and good. Harshness in speech should be avoided. Only when the tongue is used in this way can it become pure and sacred. When your speech is sanctified, your life itself becomes sanctified!*-

Divine Discourse, Jan 19, 1989.

10

*As words increase, the vagaries (an unexpected and inexplicable change in a situation or in someone's behavior) of the mind also increase. Annihilate the mind by quietude*. - Baba

Dhyana Vahini, Ch 8

11

*Words don’t cost anything but they are priceless. So, they have to be used with care*. - Baba

Silence is the only language of the realised. Practice moderation in speech. That will help you in many ways. It will develop love (prema), for *most misunderstandings and factions arise out of carelessly spoken words*. 

*When the foot slips, the wound can be healed, but when the tongue slips, the wound that it causes in the heart of another will fester for life*. 

*The tongue is liable to four big errors: uttering falsehood, scandalising, finding fault with others, and excessive articulation. These have to be avoided if there has to be peace for the individual as well as for the society*. 

*The bond of brotherhood will be tightened if people speak less and speak sweetly. That is why silence was prescribed as a vow for spiritual aspirants by the spiritual texts* -

Divine Discourse, Jul 22, 1958.

12

*Loving words sweeten life. Let your speech be always sweet, whatever be the circumstances*. - Baba

One important thing to be remembered is that *it is possible and desirable to utilise the full power of words through softness and sweetness*. 

*If one is anxious to see God in every object, the sweetness of the word will be of immense help. Imagine how happy others will be in your presence, and how light your minds will become by the practice of softness of expression!* 

When meditation is carried on in that happy atmosphere, how quickly concentration can be attained! 

 *Instead, if in conversation you use words that blame others and despise them, in turn you become the target of blame, and your mind gets agitated by the effect of both*; then the object of meditation is not realised because the atmosphere turns impure.  Therefore, if you really wish to be happy through meditation, as a preliminary to the process, you must be engaged either in joyful conversation or in happy thoughts and memories.

*Sweet and soft conversation helps meditation a great deal*. -

Dhyana Vahini, Ch 10.

13

*Sweet words and sweet manners lead to sweet actions and sweet reactions*. - Baba

You attach importance to quantity, but the Lord considers only quality!  *Lord doesn’t calculate how many measures of “sweet rice” you offered, but how many sweet words you uttered, and how much sweetness you added in your thoughts*! 

Divine Discourse, Feb 08, 1963.

14

*Speak with love. There is no Divinity greater than love. When you fill your heart with love, your thoughts, vision, words and deeds will be suffused with love*! -

Divine Discourse, May 07, 2001.

15

*Health does not depend on medicine. Good words, good manners, good sight, good thoughts - these are essential*. What can even powerful or costly medicines do if one is ill with bad thoughts and bad feelings? 

Divine Discourse, Nov 20, 1982.

16

*Firmly believe that God resides in all beings. Speak such words, those that would spread truth, goodness, and beauty.* - Baba

Divine Discourse, Oct 25, 1972.

17

Your thoughts, *words, and deeds should be suffused with love. Make efforts to alleviate the suffering of your fellowmen*. 

Divine Discourse, Oct 23, 2004.

18

Practise nonviolence (ahimsa). What is the meaning of nonviolence? *Ahimsa means not to hurt others by thoughts, words, and deeds*. Never leave unity of thought, word, and deed, even for a moment. Only when you observe unity of thought, word, and deed in all your endeavours will divine feelings manifest in you. 

Divine Discourse, Jul 29, 1996.
