Ignore Censure and Praise

-Revered Swami
Sri Leelashahji Maharaj
Whoever treads the path to divine, does sadhana for self realization will naturally come across hurdles and obstacles.
Why do you become perturbed when somebody insults or sander you? Ignore censure and praise. They will finally retune back to the donor. Do not pay attention to the words of slander or insult. Mediate on you Real self.

Think about the insults netted out mira. To kill her she was given poison. Her relatives left no stone unturned in torturing her. Finally, when mira left the place the state was stuck by famine. When the Brahmins and astrologers were consulted to alleviate this misfortune they said, Mira is a devotee. Her departure form this place is the cause of this famine call her back and the state will be saved from the famine. Raman sent a message to mira requesting her to come back. Mira replied I am happy here with my devotion to kamahi lord sire Krishan. I don’t wan to come to go anywhere. Where Mira refused straightaway, she received a call she agreed to go there. When Mira come back the people who had insulted her, begged her for forgiven. They has to seek refuge in mira after all. Do not pay heed to insults and criticism. Se fearlessness cheerful. Keep marching ahead on you path. The world intimidates only those who fear. If you are fearless even death won’t be able to cause you any harm. One who keeps faith in the self god and conducts fearlessly in the world keeps progressing forwards with success. There is nobody to stop him. He certainly attains his goal. Root out all weakening thoughts. Repose in your own self. Don’t ever stop on the path of your destruction by slandering saints great Men or by being taken in by the slanderers. Never get influenced by the criticism praise. Consider it to be mere dram.

Mountain ranges are many but all of them do not abound does not possess pearls and every forest does not produce sandalwood tress. Similarly there are many hermits and ascetics but really do we find amongst them a self realized soul.

Pray out providence is favorable enough to bless us with such a self realized saint There after no misery in the entire world is worthy enough to torment us. Let any situation confront us be least disturbed. We not deem anything disapproving or inauspicious. Thereafter the entire range of worldly pleasures will appear dull and unexciting because the splendid bliss of the ture self is duly attained.

So, let seek out and dwell near the lotus feet of such a saint let tread the path shown by such a celestial beacon and make out life blissful by supreme attainment. This is truly the supreme endeavor of a being!
