Drulabam trymaivaikiam deva anugraha hetukam
Manushutvam Mumukshutvam Maha Purusha sambavah
Viveka Chudamani by Adi Jagadguru Shankaracharaya
There are 3 things that are very rare to be obtained with the God’s grace, a human birth, a heart with the desire to attain Him and be in His service and a Guru.
I must say not many of us in lives have all these three things aligned in live for us. Of course we have the human birth but the mumukshu and the maha purush is something that we have to be blessed with. In my years of association with Shri Maharaji, I have learnt that the grace of God is something that is waiting to be showered upon us. All we need is that mumukshu to be established. Shri Maharaji says the moment one is given the human birth, God’s grace is half way through the other half is your own effort in making sure that the other half comes through. How is this so? Amongst the 8.4 million life forms created the human life form is the rarest amongst all. It’s the only from as a Karma Pradhan Yoni (able to create karma) the rest of them all is Bhog Yoni (enjoying the fruits of the karma). The almighty Lord is very merciful, trust me, He is. Shri Maharaji says that He (God) is waiting with open arms to embrace us but we have turned our backs on Him. Life after life of ignorance, arrogance, selfishness, laziness and egoism has tuned us against God. We have created a web of deception within ourselves and we have serious believe that this world, this wealth, our possessions, our relations will give us true happiness. Many times we are deceived by this maya but we don’t seem to learn from our mistakes.
Why is it so difficult to for us to learn from our mistakes? We do understand that these are mistakes, but we choose to ignore them. We all know this theory that this world and the contents in it are not permanent and it’s not real. We know too well. So well that we sick of listening to the truth. We have given excuses after excuses to the extent that many of these excuses are false excuses and we believe that these excuses are real and if we fail to do our “duty “ we may pay a heavy penalty for them. A life that’s a lie to begin with and believing that, that life to be true is no life. Such a life is filled with miseries, disappointment and disaster. During such difficult times in life we cry and ask God, Why my Lord? Why me? Why this? Why doesn’t things work out for me? That’s because we believe that this lie is real and with that live we try associating it with God the real. Thus it will not compute and it ends up with disaster after disaster. Remember its you that have chosen to believe that this life in which it’s a lie is true. CHANGE THAT NOW.
My dear brothers and sisters enough is enough. How long will you want to endure this burden? The gate to paradise is just a step a way and don’t refuse it just because you thing that this unreal is real. The human birth is given to you so that you may make that change. Shri Maharaji is there as the great Maha Purush all you need now is to develop that Mumukshu. To get away from this maya and to develop that mumukshu is to practice Sadhana Bakthi. That is the only way if you are complaisant about this you would loose everything. Getting another human birth would be difficult and it will take millions of lifetimes before another is given. We have lost so many human births due to our complaisance and we will continue to loose it if we don’t take this Sadhana Bakthi seriously.
Shri Maharaji has written a beautiful Pad Kirtan on this in Prem Ras Madira
Gaho re mana, syama carana sharanai
O my mind! Submit yourself to Shyamsundar’s soft lotus feet
Anta samaya kao kama na aihaim, mata pita suta bhai
Your mother, father, sons, brothers and others will not help you at the time of death.
Kama Krodha are lobh, moha mada ina somkachu na basai
There is no other way of escaping from the clutches of demons like lust, anger, greed, attachment and pride
Yaha jaga mrga trsna sama dikatha suka lavalesa na pai
There seems to be happiness in the world, but it proves to be nothing more than a mirage
Dhana yauvna tana chana bhamgura saba, jyom kapura uri jai
Wealth youth and life itself are all temporary, they disappear like champor
Bahuri Kripalu na nara tanu paiya bigari lehu banai
Kripalu Mahaprabhu Ji says, “you will not receive this precious human life again and again, so surrender to Shri Krishna and restore your lost fortune”.
