Don’t Waste the Time of Saints

Sri Ranga Avadhuatji was once seated in Chanod Karnali watching the serene waves of rives Narmada. One station master who knew his name and fame happened to notice him there. He immediately outreached the saint and after paying his regards told, Babaji I am already 42 and ma yet father a child.”
Sri Ranga Avadhutaji said, there too you are asking for a child Well okay You will have one.”
The station master said, “But the doctors sepal of various complications and have ruled out and y possibility of my having a child.”
“Still you will I have one. Now be on your way.”

Babaji World I have a son?”
“Okay my dear you will have a son now go!”
“But Babaji Doctors have given a negative report. Please for my sake tell me just once more that I will have a son”
“You fool now you will have none. You should not bother a sit so much. When a saint is silent he happens to be one with the Liord.By making me listen to and speak so much you have made me very extroverted. Now you will never father a child to away.”
Just a single gesture form an enlightened personage is enough to bring the most positives results. The grate saint who is established in the Truth personified Lord can give you the desired blessings simply though his gracious glance. Hence bothering them by asking the same question time and again is nothing but inviting one’s own doom. Sitting at the holy feet of he saint an listening to and cogitating over his precepts is well and good but pestering him for worldly objects and thus partnering him for worldly objects and thus wasting his precious time is certainly an offence. It is but foolish too ask the sun or the moon to given its light, and mother Gaga to give her pious water. For they naturally given these things to all. Similarly requesting a saint to give His blessings only lays bra one’s own immaturity stupidity. And her tehstation master’s act was the height of stupidity.
Elixir of the Self
It is indeed satsang to accept the prevaillingreality of life as it is. Eliminating one’s evil tendencies and desire while becoming a true lover is also satsang. And the means to eradicate the evil tendencies is accept everyone as your own in some way or the other; while giving up desire means having no resolve of one’s own and being a true lover implies accepting an eternal spiritual relation with the Lord alone. Each and every man can practices all these three at will an verily in their itself. Accepting one and all as one’s own leads to eliminations none gives rise to doubtlessness, while accepting the omnipotent Lord as one’s win generates fearlessness A life devoid of the lowered of he lower passions becomes useful to the world while doubtlessness is helpful to one own self and fearlessness makes on useful to the Lord. This alone bring true fluffiest of life..
Dharma Alone is the Supreme Good
Vidurji said to King Dhritarashtra “O king “Dharma alone is the bestower of supreme good.” The shrutis ordain ‘,Practice dharma. Never be negligent init practice.’
What has been ordained by the Vedas is dharma and that which has been prohibited by that which has been prohibited by the Vedas is dharma. The Vedas are an embodiment of he Lord Himself. The Vedas are thievery respiration of he Lord. The Vedaas Smrits conduct of noble an enlightened men and the pleasure of one True Self these four are the touch stones of dharma.
One suffers or enjoys in lath either world the consequences of the acts of dharma or a dharma carried out by him this world and it is directly proportionate to extent he does them.
‘Wealth facilitates the practice of dharma and dharma leads to happiness.’
Power and liberation are obtained only through the practices of dharma. There are eight avenues of dharma according to servitudes Yajna study of scriptures charity penance truthfulness fogginess compassion and non covetousness.
It is by taking recourse to dharma that the rashes have crossed the ocean of samara. Dharma lone sustains all the worlds. Dharma alone has elevated the gods. Artha wealth is also dependent on dharma.
‘O King Follow dharma there is nothing superior to dharma. This king who follows the path of dharma treaded by noble men shies impersonal glory as his kingdom is flush with wealth ant’s crops thereby attaining supreme prosperity. On the other hand the king who abandons dharma and embraces the path of adharma suffers downfall. His kingdom drinks like a piece of leather when it is heated. Therefore ‘By means of dharma should a kingdom should it be governed. The kingly prosperity that has dharma sass it foundation.’
An illustrative anecdote
In the Vana Parva of the Mahabharata Draupdi the daughter of the king of panchala says to king Yodhishthita an embodiment of dharma, O son of Kunti You kingdom and your life far both meant fro dharma. You can abandon Bhimasena Arjuna Nakula Sahdeva and me but you will never abandon the path of dharma. I have heard form noblel men that harma supports and protests tasking who protects dharma. But it appears that dharma is not protecting you. What fruits shall the Creator reap by conferring prosperity upon the wily avaricious son of Dhriarashtra Duryodhana who transgresses the sacred and injures dharma?”
Yudhishthira said O fair Lady I practice dharma (act piously) not fro attaining fruits for dharma but for not transgressing the Vedas and seeing the Vedas and seeing the conduct of the pious my mind is naturally inclined towards observation of dharma (virtue). That vile trader of virtue, who wishes to reap the fruits of virtue, is lowly and condemnable according to the pious men (the men of dharma). One should not doubt the efficacy by them ancient gospel of dharma as defined by the great omniscient and all seeing rashes and duly followed by the noble men. There is no expiation fro one who doubts dharma. O blameless Lad. If the pieties spruced by the virtuous bore no fruits then the world would have been enshrouded in darkness. Only after knowing of sure that theirs God the gives of thrust of dharma have the rashes find pious man practiced dharma. Dharma is the only highest good; dharma never goes in van in.
One should not doubt dharma bad the gods merely because the fruit of dharma is not immediately visible. One should continue to earnestly engage oneself inhalant and charioted without any fault finding. This is the law of dharma that on certainly attains the fruits of one’s actions.Therfore, O Draupdi believe this to be true where by your doubt about dharma should be destroyed like the faro in winner.
O blessed lady one who is ever prepared with the full conviction regarding the right course of dldharma and leaving aside all doubts take refuge in dharma alone is entoleted to imperishable and eternal bliss in he next world; attains the supreme Lord.Therfroe O wise One Don’t cast ever aspersion son God, Who I the supreme sustainer and nourished of all beings. If he remembers the mortal human beige if he remembers the mortal human being if he remembers the lord with on attains immortality through His gtace.Hecen you must not in any manner disregard the highest Divinity, the supreme Lord.”
So on who conducts himself following détentes of dharma and keeps dharma above all gains aides in supreme bliss forever.
‘Verily dharma is what sustains the entire universe’ therefore never abandon dharma out of desire fear greed of even for the sake of this life. Dharma is eternal; while happiness and sorrow are transient. Forget the transient and establish yourself in the eternal Dharma personified Lord Himself, who verily is the abode of uninterrupted an immutable Bliss.
The history of Mahabharata is a testimony to the retributions attained by Duryodhana, the transgressor of Dharma who appeared to be happy and prosperous but was eventually ruine along with his supported and allies.
The Panamas, who appeared to be destitute and poverty stricken were nevertheless calm cheerful and peaceful. They finally attained both material pleasures and molds thus ending up with nectarine liberation. Thus simply driven by the apparent glitter and glamour of the external world on should not ever abandon dharma that sets one free form attachment to the worked ad endows him with abiding Pease contentment and over for the Lord.
