The Secret of Success

(Continued form the precious issues)
As a boy Lord Sri Krishna was naughty He world steal butter form houses, share it with his friends ear some himself and break the earthen pots full of curds and butter. Then he would smear a bit of butter on the moths of he calves and slip away form there. The people in the house would find the calves mouths smeared with butter. They would think that the calves had caused the damage and would beat them.
As a matter of fact God
Himself is the cause of all that happens. In the process, the poor calves get the breathing’s you… this ….. That happiness……. Capital punishment. The Ultimate case of all these is God the pure Consciousness. However by being disloyal to God the calves our minds get the beating.
God is the greatest of the great and on forging a realtionshioip with Him ones liberated; Just having a great name does not serve any purpose. It is often found that poor destitute people, having nothing in their possession are named as karordimal (meaning worth crores of rupees) Lakhpatram (denoting worth lakhs of rupess), Hazariprasad (denoting worth thousands of rupees), Lakshmichnd (meaning Goddess of wealth) etc. Where will all this lead to?
‘Lakshmi goes looking for cow dung; jagapal (meaning one nurturing the whole World) is found begging.
Amar (meaning immortal) Singh dying I am happy with my Thanthamnpal (meaning pauper) who actually earns money.’
Real peace and happiness can hardily be obtained by possessing palatial mansions, luxury cars or by wearing precious jewels or ornaments we are paupers as far as the true wealth of inner bliss is concerned. A man who is poor form within is that much more dependent on external objects. And the more one is dependent on external objects the more one is bereft of the wealth of Self bliss.
A person well endowed with the wealth of self realization and with that of the external world not much interested the latter. One gets it by destiny. The wealth of self realization brings all worldly successes too. Once you longer hanker after external wealth, which then gets drawn to you automatically. One’s shadow naturally follows one. Likewise once you attain Divine Bliss you get external happiness and concertos by the force of destiny. In case you don’t even then you don’t desire them. Such is the glory of Divine Bliss, you get external happiness and confutes by the force of destiny. In case you don’t even then you don’t desire them. Such is the glory of Divine Bliss so long as childhood continues one’s childish intellect makes one play with dolls toys etc. As maturity comes youth arrives on married how will lying with dolls and toys interest him or her? When the intellect is shrouded by ignorance then there is attachment to the world. On the others hand, a well developed discrimination intellect with well established discrimination exposes the hollowness of world objects. A prudent analysis will reveal that everything around is but made form the five elements of mature. Out of ignorance we kept playing with toys and dolls; but as wise sense dawned upon us the game just want out of our lives. You are born to play with the Brahman. You are here to enjoy playing with God himself and not with the causality of this world of dolls and toys. This human birth is bestowed upon you to forges a close bond with God and to obtain Supreme Bliss.
After wedding a man a young woman hardly plays with her dolls. Similarly once our mind gets wedded to supreme God It will hardly have any interest in the toys an dolls of world pleasures.
A puppet show commences. In the show one king invited another who came with his entourage. He was duly welcomed by the host king and extended appropriate hospitality. Then in the course of conversation tempers rose and the two crossed their swords. A fight occurred. Two got hacked four died and six fled.
Thought it appears to be a big affair in reality it is merely an artistry of the puppet master’s fingers. Similarly in this external world the causality appears outwardly but the puppet master is none other then the supreme self. We see duality n the form of Good and bad mine and yours this and but all these are mere appearances projected form the fundamental source the supreme Self. Once you repose your smaller self (I) in that supreme Cause and become one with it these external cause and become one with it these external cause and effect phenomena will appear merely as ago me to you. (Translated excerpts form ‘Jivan Vikas’ a book published by the ashram)
• Love of a Truth personified Saint is ever steady and favorable towards us both in happiness and sorrow. This pure divine love is the only resting place of the heart. This joy of love cannot be destined by age. It does not change with the changing times. Only a rare fortunate person can experience such; divine love
