God is ever graceful : Always Remember

The views expressed in this post are based on divine knowledge of a God realized saint – 5th Orginal Jagad Guru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. I am presenting this here on my blog so that few of us may be benefited by tasting the divine nectar of eternal spiritual love.

Always Remember

• There are three eternal entities – Almighty, the individual soul and Maya. However the Almighty is the governor of both Maya and individual.

• Almighty is the embodiment of bliss. Therefore being His part, the individual soul naturally desires only bliss.

• Divine Bliss is unlimited, ever-increasing and eternal.

• The unlimited Divine Bliss desired by the individual soul can be attained only by the grace of Shri Krishn.

• Shri Krishn’s grace can only be attained by surrender to Him.

• It is the “mind” alone that has to be surrendered to Shri Krishn and engaged in devotional practices like hearing, chanting, remembrance etc.

• The mind alone is the cause of bondage and liberation.

• One should constantly attach his mind to Shri Krishn, His names, His forms, His qualities, pastimes, Divine abodes and His devotees.

• Always feel the presence of your Guru and your Almighty as your protector.

• Avoid fault-finding. These are impediments in your devotional practice.

• By constantly thinking about the faults of others, your intellect gradually gets contaminated by these faults.

• Finding faults in others is a definite proof that you yourself have those faults. 

• Shri Kishn resides within each and every living being.

• The desire to appear good in the eyes of others is the major cause of our spiritual downfall.

• Before the attainment of Almighty, the individual soul remains under control of Maya.

• As long as the individual soul is under the control of the Maya, all faults like lust, anger, greed will remain within us.

• In spite of presence of all faults within us, we do not admit to having them.

• Actually one who criticizes us is our well-wisher.

• One should not harbour resentment even towards someone who is actually condemnable, because Shri Krishn resides even in his heart.

• One should remain neutral towards someone who is actually condemnable.

• Do not procrastinate in the matter of spiritual practice, as the human body is transient. 

• One’s speech should be sweet and to the point.

• One should not talk about any other subject matter except Shri Krishn and matters related to His service.

• Only moments spent in the sweet remembrance of Shri Krishn are worthwhile otherwise we are sinning at every moment.

• At bedtime you should keep an account of offences you have committed during the day.

• Limit your friendships and limit your interaction with others.

• Exercise caution in speech and speak sweetly.

• If you desire to be a true devotee, you must see Shri Krishn in each and every being.

• Do not insult or offend anyone. Do not hurt anyone by harsh words or by bad behavior. 

• It is the greatest sin to hurt anyone by your words or actions.

• Constantly develop feeling of forbearance, humility and submissiveness. 

• Learn to control your anger even if someone makes a mistake.

• Always keep in min that death can approach you at anytime. Who knows whether you will live the next moment.

The Beauty of Our Creator

I thought to write this post and express my views on the Creator – God. I have not been a philosophy student but lately I have been enlightened with facts which we all ignore in our daily lives. We are proud as a species – we create problems for ourselves and then say loudly oh, we found solutions! Recently I was told by a friend that scientists have found solutions to global warming. But I would like to ask all intelligent souls – what is the need to create such problems and why cannot we live in peace. We invent atom bomb and then atom bomb kills us (recently in Japan). We are so egoistic about our so-called knowledge and intelligence, that we dare to challenge supreme power sometimes in our unconsciousness. We feel pride in cloning and discoveries of new objects, but are we not using the ingredients already existing on earth?

Our knowledge is so limited that we are still not able to understand with our logic, the chemistry behind an atom. We know there is a proton,  an electron and a neutron. But who tells these sub-atomic particles to have a definite charge and mass? We are not able to identify that supreme power governing the universe even at sub-atomic levels. We are making efforts in identification of number of galaxies, planets and so on. But we are not willing to accept, it is infinite.

In our daily lives, we accept small things without logic. When we are ill, we go to doctor and he says you have a serious problem, we immediately surrender to him without logic that how to know if doctor is genuine and we will not take treatment. We trust that doctor will treat us well. But when it comes to accepting the authority of scriptures, Vedas, Bhagwad – language of God, we have our doubts in place!

God resides in every one – living and non living. But we have our doubts and we continue to feel that we are alone and do sins. It is impossible to gain complete knowledge with our limited minds, limited eyes we can’t see beyond few meters, limited ears we cannot hear below and above a certain range, limited voice – we can’t speak beyond a pitch and volume and limited diet – we cannot eat beyond a certain limit and we vomit in case of over-eating. We know we are limited but we are not willing to accept it due to our ego.

God who is the creator of this universe sits peacefully and in eternal divine bliss. He is complete in Himself and He smiles at our foolishness. We go to temples and worship Him with our physical body. We do meditation without imagination or thoughts about Him. All these go futile in spiritual world.  Love for God which is felt with heart is true spiritual love. All I wrote above will sound Greek to some of us, but thanks for reading!

In the lotus feet of my spiritual Guru.

Samundar ke beech mein hu kinara dhunti hu-Hindi Poem

Samundar ke beech mein hu.. kinara dhunti hu..

Tere daman mein chupa le, sahara dhundti hu..

Ansu ban ke girta hai, dil se nikal ke dard mera..

Itni daya karde bas main ban jau sirf tera..

Ayega tu ek din, dil ko mere hai pura yakin..

Ankhein takti hai meri, darwaze par teri rah har din..

Main tadapti hu yaha agar, waha tujhe bhi chain kaha hoga?

Tu to brahman badshah hai.. tu mere haal se anjaan kaha hoga?

Tere liye pyar ka tohfa saja ke baithi hu..

Papo ki gadhri, pashyatap ke ansu aur teri yad le kar baithi hu..

Dar lagta hai kabhi kabhi, kahi tu ho na jaye mujhse khafa..

Par phir sochti hu, kusurwar main hi hu, tu to karta aya hai sirf wafa..

Bhul gayi thi main tujhe, is zamane ki chahat mein..

Ab maza nahi ata mujhe, is sajawat, is banawat mein..

Mujhe pata hai tu chup ke baitha hai, is dil ke mandir mein..

Aja bahar aja, gale se laga le mujhe, bas ek baar..bas ek baar..

Shayari meri kalam se

“Zakhm dete hai apne mujhe, hairan nahi hoti mai.. Gair bhi jab bina wajah, pathar ke tohfe dete hai, to sochti reh jati hu mai.. akhir kyo?”

“Hosh mei laye wo mujhe, dekh unhein phir hum behosh hue..Ya Allah, aisa khubsurat chehra, ye qatil adayein, jo dekh le, kaise na hosh khoye?”

“Unki ankhein hai ya madira ki pyali hai, bin piye nashe mein jhoom jata hai dil”

“Ahista Ahista Pyar Badhta Ja Raha Hai, Bekhudi Ka Nasha Kuch Kuch Chadhta Ja Raha Hai.. Unko dekhenge jab, na jane kya haal hoga tab, Khayalo mein hi unke maza araha hai behisab..”

“Pyar tumse kar baithi hu, dil tumko haar baithi hu.. Ajao mujhe lene ab, main kab se tayyar baithi hu..”

“Pagal kehte hai mujhe duniya wale.. Arey koi inse puche, kaun napagal hai khuda ke is pagal khane mein”

“Zakhm deta ja mujhe, koi gum nahi hai.. Par shart ye hai ki, meri har dard e cheekh par yad ana hoga tujhe.”

“Dhadka Dhadka ke is Dil ko itna daudaya hai unhone ..Ki Ab unka naam lete hi dhadak ke daud jata hai dil..”

“Wada kiya hai agar, to nibhayenege wo zarur.. Gum nahi ki aye der se wo, kayamat tak rah takte jayenge hum huzur.”

Khamoshi ke saye mein bhi – Hindi Poem

Khamoshi ke saye mein bhi..

Dil cheekh ke unko pukarta hai..

Ankho ke palko ke sahare..

Ansu chupa lete hai hum..

Unka deedar ho jaye,  to khushi karti hai mastana..

Wo na mile, to judai kar deti hai deewana..

Unki kaali ghani zulfein, din mein andhera karti hai..

Unke moti jaise daat, chanda ko ishara karte hai..

Unke gulabi hoth,  gulabi gulab se bhi komal hoth..

Unki ankho ka wo kajal, wo zari se chamakta anchal..

Unki har ada ka andaz, hai sabse juda, sabse khas..

Wo itne pyare hai, unsa pyara hai unka naam..

Unka naam jab bhi le,  ruh ko milta hai sukoon, araam..
