The toste of food of the other world

A wealthy merchant had started an annasatra A place where free food is distributed of service was less in him. However his main purpose was to get acclaimed by the people as a great donor. Even the people who praised him were not few . He was a wholesale trader of cereals. At the end of the year after sale of the grain, what even rotten grain was left in the granary was sent to the annasatra. The hungry people were always served rotten jowar chapattis at the annasatra.
The merchant’s son got married the daughter in law came home she was very virtuous knower of Dharma and thoughtful she was sad served at the rather in law annasatra she to very first day she ordered rotten jowar flour form when the merchant sat down for his meal she served him that chapatti along with his meal. Looking at that black thick chapatti the wealthy merchant curiously put the first morsel as the put the first morsel said daughter there is plenty of flout in eh house where did you get this rotten flour to make chapattis form?

The daughter in law replied this flour has been ordered form the next word.’ The fatter in law said Daughter I do not understand what you have said. Father at present we are living on the fruits of charity an good deeds one done by us in our past lives. The merits of what we do in his life will be obtained in the next in our annasatra the poor are given chapattis made out of this flour in the next world we will have to subsist only on chapattis made out of the same flour. That is why I thought that we should practice eating this form now itself so that we get accustomed and suffer less there.
The merchant realized his mistake he asked his daughter in law to forgive him and got the rotten flour served in the annasatra thrown away. Frown then onwards the poor and the hungry were served chapattis made of god quality flour.
You do charity but only for good of others when you given charity with the spirit of doing god to other no not other not only does it do good to the receive but it betters your life in his world and the other. While giving charity your should not wish that people should praise you. Charity should be done in such a way that even your other hand should not come to one about it.
Rahim was a nawab he used to give charity every day his way of giving alms was unique he would keep a pile of rupee coins paisa coins with himself and with his gaze fixed downwards he world fill his hand with coins and given to the beggars one day even the poet Tulsidas was present there he was that the same beggar had already taken coins thrice yet Rahim poet Tulsidas asked thus.
“O brother where have you learnt his strange method of giving alms? Such that the higher your hands are raised to give alums the lower is your gaze”
The Rahim replied in all humility the one who actually gives is someone else meaning god he continuously provides the alms day the night however as the world mistakenly gives me credit for the also I prefer to keep looking down’ What sublime vision what pure charity do charity with faith love fellow feeling and humbly don’t give it with arrogance with all humility get the blessing of the donee.

Why Delay in Self Realization?

(Revered Bapuji’s Ambrosial Precepts)
The fruit of any action cannot be eternal (everlasting in effect) Fruit of Virtuous deals is not eternal. Fruits of single deeds are also not eternal. Nothing else but knowledge alone is eternal nothing else can be eternal.
The merits is lost Is lost giving its fruits the enjoyment of pleasure the demerit is lost giving its fruits The experience of mystery. There for the authors of scriptures have sated one who offers the fruits of his virtuous deed to god gets his heart purified. The desire to know one pure being arise sin pure heart. Then the great sayings of Vedanta are assimilated in direct Experience.
Suppose somebody did an action to know it as it is a relive truth empirical truth not absolute truth absolute truth is not relative to any person it does not stand in relation to any person. Myriads of persons and Universes are created and dissolved in the Absolute Truth without any change without even an infinitesimal decrease a or increase. That is absolute Truth supreme Truth the Haman birth has been given to us only to attain the supreme Truth.
Unit we get the goal for the attainment of the divine knowledge our mind gets satisfied with any sate our mind an intellect gets sounded on account of being condoned to any state. A State is either good or bad. Where there is good evil has to be there good stands in reaction to evil. God and evil are relative But good an evil are terms applied to the body internal organs mind intellect thought identifying with I in reality the mind intellectetc on account of ignorance about the real I a new I is created embellished and cremated in the end in every life.
We spend life nurtuign embellishing and protecting the imagined I till the desire to know the real I arises. At times the imagined I is praised and at times it is censured that I would become innocent at 9one time sand guilty at uncouth. Sometime it would remain free form lust an indulge in lust at the other The imagined it will keep on tossing tumbling bouncing or staggering but finally ends up in the crematorium once again a new I will originate in the next broth so the poor living keeps or reviving in painful of birth and death unattained of the knowledge of the real self the author of Gait has therefore said.
“In this world three is no purifier like supreme knowledge . When one come to know the Reality only the he transcends the cycle of rebirth otherwise one keeps on shifting form lover states to higher states to still higher states the joys and sorrows of these states are condoned to the internal organs.
When one identifies oneself with the body one gets the joy of any state but when one forgets his physical identify and attains to supreme consciousness seen gets real Bliss. The body scions given illusory Happiness monetary joy which in ton drains one energy when we are in communion with god when we are self for full when we are unaware of our finite ego we glimpse of the divine joy whether it is thought Bhakti yoga or self enquire enquiry on the nature of Truth. But when one becomes aware of the finite ego. One come down from the unalloyed bliss. Greater the dependence on sensory pleasure and influence of the worldly at tractions lower is the sates of one life. We l seem to be aristocratic to the people but the covetousness for and the allurement of sensory pleasures undoubtedly of sensory pleasure s undoubtedly makes out life dependent an Lowy one the contrary it our knowledge tunes us to the divine joy are closer to the real life higher life.
Though it is not difficult to lead such a noble life still it is quite difficult we are not able to get rid of lour halfpenny desire an activates you think let me do this things let me accomplish that work then a it do sadhakas easily at any time you perhaps do not realize that you are evaluating the worldly activities above sadhakas you do not know the value of sadhakas I shall attain god after attaining this mcuhthen you do not know the value of attainment of Beloved God when cause you put greater value on the perishable body.

Protection of priceless human life.

Frequency of Copulation

If someone wises to lose his vigour through sexual indulgence an degrade himself him he must at least bear in mind the advice given by the great Greek philosopher Socrates in the following conversation.
A householder once asked scats. Kindly instruct me as to how his with his wife. Socrates only once in his life.’ Householder But fails to satisfy him? Socrates Then he can copulation once a years. Householder but if that too doesn’t satisfy.’ Socrates The let it be one month Householder And if he is still not satisfied? Socrates: The let it be twice a month but this will cause an early death. Householder what should he do it he is not satisfied with that either? Socrates: Well then do it this way dig a grave purchase a coffin and a shroud for yourself beforehand then you man spoil yourself as many times as you wish This is my final should be a great message for one and all. Whoever wastes his semen for sexual pleasure attain only despair weakness and finally death. This priceless human life is wasted on sexual indulgence but sexual desires are never satiated.
The Experience of kind Yayati.
Cursed by shukraharay kind Yayati become aged in the very prime of his youth. On being begged for f givens, Shukraharay took pity on him and modified his curse so that Yayati could regain his youth if any curse so that Yayati could regain his youth if any of his sons consented to exchanges his youth with his father old age one by one Yayati asked each of his sons Yadu Turvasu, Druhya And anu to take his old age and give his win youth in exchange Btu all of them refused Finally Yayati’s youngest son pure exchanged his youth for his father old age. Yayati gained his youth anew and began to indulge himself in sensual pleasures again But even after enjoying all these pleasures Agisn Btu even after enjoying all these pleasures for one thousand years he was not satisfied. Then returning youth to his son puru Yayati said Dear son with your youth I enjoyed all the pleasures I craved and I longed for. desire never die they are never satiated by indulgence Through indulgence they only flare up just like the sacrificial fire when ghee when into it. If one becomes the sole lord of the of the earth with all it jewels gold cows and beautiful woman in his possession he will still not consider it enough. Therefore the thirst for enjoyment itself should be abandoned. This thirst is however very difficult to given up for people with a depraved intellect desire that does not diminish intellect Desire that does not diminish even with the waning life is a veritable fatal in man.
Only he who abandons all his desire attain real happiness.’ .Yayati experience is very poignant and teacher a great lesson to marking he continued. Dear son I have been dialing in worldly pleasure for the lest thought years. Yet my thirst for then only goes on increasing day (one should not be surprised a thousand years shastras give accounts of people living for many thousand years)There I shall abandon these pleasure and fix my mind on Brahman. Then with a completely detached an tranquil mind I shald pass the rest of my days with the innocent deer in forest.’
Yayati corned purees the kind and retired to the forest to lead the life of an ascetic. Those who do not realize the importance and value of preserving this vital essence of life Should remember that they are merely the followers of Yayati and hence are only heading towards utter ruin. They must learn a lesson from the experience of Yayati. They should cultivate dynamic will power a discriminative intellect and have pity on their own selves. Forget the past make a fresh start in life. It is better late than never practice Brahmacharya by means of Yogasansa, pranayam etc and adopt herbal therapy to maintain good health and regain the lost vitality be heroic an brace.
