They alone know their Spontaneous satae
(Excerpts form the satsang of pujya Bapuji)
Once a pundit went to Raman Maharishi and in the course of conversation, put a question to him. Raman Maharishi answered it. He put another question and Maharishi Answered that too. To make an impression on people sitting there he put yet another question. This angered Raman Maharihsi, What do you mean, Pundit? He picked up a staff. The pundit ran out of fear and Maharishi chased him! People were surprised no end. Maharishi chased him for quite some distance and them came back. The very next moment he was calm and composed and blissful as before. How spontaneous is the life of saints! The renowned write Paul Brunton was very intelligent. He wrote how spontaneous Raman Maharishi is! What an elevated state he has attained to what spontaneity!
“What will the people say? What will they think about me? They don’t bother. “Nanak speaks spontaneously with intuitive ease. “ They is neither attacheme3nt nor aversion in the hearts of those great souls. They lead a spontaneous life.
Once in Saharanput, some Sanchalak (manger) acted carelessly and the by caused some disorder management of crowds. I admonished the Sanchalak and gave him mild punishment. The media showed wise sense and next day papers carried the news with comments like,”Bapuji took sanchalak to task. Bapuji’s impartiality and efficient handing ensures pin drop silence in the satsang and prevents disorders.Bapuji is not only a saint he is farsighted as well”
Had the concerned write or the reporters been evil minded, they could have said,’ Raman Maharsihi shouldn’t have lost his temper or so and so saint shouldn’t have done like this in fact only those can lose or keep from losing their temper who have ego (which may keep cool or lose temper) in the first place. Self reposed saints have spontaneous ego. They are instantaneous in behavior. Nanak speaks spontaneously”
The Lord says in the Gita:
“One should not abandon, O Arjuna the duty to which one is born though faulty.”
The enlightened one only appears to be engaged in faulty actions. He simply lets it go spontaneously. Hanumanji was begin punished by Ravana’s cloth on his Lanks. They were wrapping cloth on his tail (for Burnign). Hanumanji says, Ok carry on; warp the cloth Then they soaked it with oil. Hanumanji said, ‘Fine go no’ And then he set fire to Lanka. Those with a sattivc mindest take it as Hanumanji acumen and fun game but those who are Ravana’s divorcees and Lord Raman’s detractors, will critcise Hanumanji.
So how is this world? It is the reflection of your mental outlook. If you have a godly or virtuous outlook you will find virtue; and if you have a demoniacal outlook, you will see vices all around. How a photograph looks depends a great deal on the angle from which the photo is taken.
All saints are not of the same temperament.Durvasaji was a perfected self realized sage. But he would castaigate so severely even o small matters that those at the receiveiving and would shake in their shoes and those witnessing the scene would have misgivings about Durvasaji. In fact the common rules of do’s and don’ts are not applicable to enlightened saits.
Once, Durvasaji was sitting in a forest. A man was going his way at quite some distance. The saint cried loudly out to him, “Come here.”….
The man came to him and reverently said,” Yes Your Holiness!”…
“What Your Holiness? Where were you going?
“To home.”
“From gone to practice austerities in the forest. I worshipped the Mother austerities in the forest. I worshipped the Mother and the Mother blessed me with Her Darshan. I am childless. Vaidyeas had ruled out the possibitly of my begetting a child. The Mother however has bossed me with a boon to beget a child.”
“The boon is cancelled; you will nit beget a child.”
This is Durvasaji a great God realized saint. Now people may think a s to what king of saint he is. But the discerning ones will see the benignity of this curse. Durvasaji didn’t act out of malice in calling him and canceling the boon he got after severe austerite. The saint might have thought, ‘He came to this pious and the saint’s Glance was cast on him. He engaged in spiritual and devotional endeavors as well;
Yes he has a yearning to beget in the world will get all the more entangled I the world and begetting child he will have attachment thereto. It will bring him misery or lond him into the world or hurt him both ways. The kind saint saved him from this trim of misery and attachment.
• (Devotion to the Lord) destroys highly ominous portents.”
Getting free of desire as a mode of sadhana is far superior to fulfilling desires by getting the desired things through tapaya. Even after fulfillment of desire, One remains in the same state spiritually as before. Satsang is far superior to tapasya. To impart this teaching to the world, God must have acted through a God realized saint this peculiar manner. So let foolish men critcise Durcasaji or Raman Maharishi fro acting in the way they did but this was pure spontaneous nature at play.
A saint was delivering satsang at Vrindavan. An unruly woman came there and said, O you! You are enjoying life at others expense and you are delivering a sermon.”
She was talking all kinds of nonsense about the saint. A fellow saint,” Your Holiness She is speaking ill about you.”
The woman heard the saint say this. She started berating the saint by name. People saint,” Now she is castgating you by name.”
“There are so many men with this name in the world. Why should I take the rebukes as meant for me? She may be rubbishing anybody with this name.”
The woman was enraged all the more. She said pontiong at him, I am saying to you, you bald headed scoundrel!”
People said: Babaji Now there is no doubt. She is pointing towards you.”
Babaji said, she is addressing this body, not me. This is the outermost covering of mine. There are four more inside. She is in sight of only the physical body and is accusing that only, but I am not the physical body. The physical body will become a corpse one day, but I will live. She cannot reach me. Her reach is only up to the physical body. She is conderming cussing and expressing anger against only this physical body, the outtermosts of the five coverings. I am beyond all the five coverings,. She is not at all saying anything to me.”
“I am cussing you so strongly and you are harping on ‘not to me’ not to me”?
The woman was hurling invectives and Babaji was laughing. Somebody may say, ‘what kind of a saint is this? He carries no respect at all! A petty woman is hurling abouses at him! It all depends on one’s disposition and way of thinking. One having malice for the saint will say, Is this a sinat?” One with devotion towards the saint will say, ‘How great or petty, God alone know but your mind is vacillating between positive and negative feelings. It is up to you whether you vacillate driven by somebody or by attachment ad hatred or you open you eyes of knowledge controlling the vacillations of mind to know your Self god.
Strange are the ways of saint! A Ramam Maharishi may lose his temper occasionally; a Durvasaji may do so every mow and then and there are others who never lose their temper. But al the three are Jivanmuktas, liberated while living. If somebody weighs enlightened, liberated while living. It somebody weights enlightened saints in the balance of his beliefs saying they shouldn’t do this or he is doing so either jour of malice or out of greed of greed for money. One should get to the truth behind what he says.
One, who has experienced self Bliss, is not angry even if he looks to be so. He may look to be sad but he is not so…. He may took to be displeased but he is not displeased with whom will you campare him? Only the enlightened ones know the unusual state of mind of ht enlightened men. If one evaluates Raman Maharishi on the basis of his outward behaviors and finds fault with him, one must be under the influence of one’s demoniacal nature. If one shows wisdom in judging him, one does so under the influence of one’s godly nature. But the Mahapurusha has attained the Supreme state transcending all sentient Gunas, Time Space anal five bodies’ repoing in God.
Your evaluation makes no difference to him. If you are under the influence of your demoniacal nature you will valuate him with malice and if you are under the influence of your godly nature, you will evaluate him with attachment. But they are not such as to be evaluated by these scales of your.
Ashtavakraji says:
‘He is neither pleased with eulogy nor enrged by dispraise. Nor is he agitated by (the fear of death) nor takes delight in life (due to his identification with the absolute self).’ (The Ashtavakra Gita: 18.99).
A Jivanmukta, Jnani is not pleased if people praise him and he doesn’t get angry if people critcise him. He is not afraid in the face of death for he know that his True self is eternal that birth and death are mere fiction nor afraid of dying. He is always calm and canposed.
If he, like Raman Maharishi, admonidhes a disturbing element and chases him away it is his sweet will and if he like the saint of Vrindavanty silently listens to the invectives hurled by a petty woman, it is his sweet will. He is just in comparable. So our aim should be to make the Experience of the Jnani our own.
