The person alone has the opportunity of entering the Abode of God who is not a thief of his own thoughts. In other words, truthfulness and simple faith are the roads to the Abode of God. Thus, the person who has got faith has all, and who lacks it lacks all.
Unless you become like a kid in faith, it is rarely possible for you to attain God realization. God is shaken by the kid-like faith; it is impossible to realize God with the calculating nature of the worldly-minded. It is a bitter reality that we have been suffering in the wheel of birth, life, death, and rebirth due to the lack of faith in God. The illustration from Ramayan given below clarifies the power of faith very precisely:
Shree Ram, who was God incarnate, had to bridge the ocean prior to He could cross over to Lanka, Ravan’s Kingdom. But Hanuman, Shree Ram’s faithful monkey devotee and servant, crossed the ocean at a single leap, because of his firm faith in Shree Ram. Here the servant achieved more than the master, simply via faith alone.
Innocence, truthfulness, and firm faith are the necessary factors to realize God in the human body. No means like penance, visiting the temples and churches, reciting the holy books, etc. can provide us the opportunity of attaining the permanent bliss and happiness.
ReplyDeleteHow the strong faith alone can win the master has been well illustrate from the short story of Shree Ram and Hanuman. It is alone the firm faith with which Hanuman jumped across the ocean at a single leap whereas Shree Ram, the Master, had to construct a bridge over the ocean to reach Lanka. Really I liked this Spiritual faith centered story as I think this will surely increase our faith in the path of God realization.

ReplyDeleteGod prefers his devotees before to him. In Ramayan Hanuman, the servant of lord Ram in his incarnation sat on the branches of a tree while his master, Ram himself was sitting in it's shadow. He never judges the external behavior of one's actions; he always notes the internal feelings of a devotee. He seeks for unconditional dedication of a devotee towards him.
ReplyDeleteOne should keep simple faith on him for attaining the ultimate divine bliss of selfless love in a 'tattsukhasukhitwam' manner, means to keep affinity in his happiness. Then he comes to his pure devotee leaving his abode.
faith..faith..unhe vishwas tha ki RAM NAAM lekar kuch bhi asambhav nahi(agar ve galat kaam na ho to, aur kisi ka dil na dukhaye to)
