There is no Resting Place Here. It is only a Journey

One very important point that you must understand is that whatever we have is only for this journey. Our real home is our Father's home. Is this something that you all can accept? If you do not or cannot, then let me know. This present journey has to end, so you can go home. Going to Paramatma (God) is not difficult. As such it is not difficult. It is only our belief that has made it difficult. Understand that this is only a journey. All can understand this. All in all. All are eligible to know this point. All can acquire this knowledge. Just like any child of a mother, can sit in the mother's lap. Any of her children can sit in her lap. All have rights. Similarly, all can attain Paramatma (God). All can get knowledge of Truth (tattva gyaan). All can attain Salvation (kalyaan). All can be liberated. All can attain divine Love (prem).

It is not something new. New things are in world, but Paramatma (God) is an age old thing. We are Paramatma's. It is simple and straightforward. "Ishvar ansh, jeev avinaashi; chetan amal sahaj sukha raasi" (Manasa, Uttar. 117:1). "The Jivaatmaa (embodied soul), is a part of Paramaatmaa (Supreme Soul). It is immortal. It is consciousness, immutable and a fountain of natural bliss." There is nothing to do for our self. Absolutely nothing. What has to be done is only serving (seva) others. The serving can be with our things, our strength, our intellect, our knowledge, our talents and whatever we have received. All are only to serve. There is nothing to do for the self. We are already "avinaashi" (imperishable) , chetan (consciousness) , amal (free of all impurities), and "sahaj sukh raashi" (fountain of natural bliss). Everything that we have received is only for serving. It will leave, therefore serve.

Paramatma is ours. Loving, devotion and worship of Paramatma is Bhakti. The Self being detached from the world is gyaan. Accepting everything in the world as belonging to others and not wanting anything for your self, is karmayog. Nothing at all is ours and we do not want it either. Not even a needle in this entire cosmos is ours. Nothing in this world will remain with us. All will leave. You will get a new mother, new things, but none of it will be yours. Presently where we are staying, that house is not ours. The things in it are not ours. Until we reach home, it is all only a journey. Therefore whatever we have received, make do with it.

May all be happy. May all be healthy (free of disease), may no one experience any pain and suffering. "Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah..." Let your sentiments always be such as to give happiness to everyone, give rest and relaxation to every one. This is the essence. There is no doubt about this. Paramatma is such that wherever you go, He goes with you. He never leaves you. Only He is ours. Be Joyful ! Do Bhajans!

Remember these two essential points. Desiring what you do not have and (apraapt ki kaamna) and attachment (proprietary interest) towards what we have (praapt cheej ki mamta). These two are great obstacles in the spiritual path. The more things that you accumulate, the more unhappiness you will experience. Even the body is not ours, then how can anything else be ours? "ye toh jyaasi hi jyaasi" Wherever you go, it is only a journey. There is no resting place here. Sometimes an animal, sometimes a bird, sometimes a tiny insect, sometimes a tree, it is endless. It is all a journey.

Bhagwaan (God) loves "Patram, pushpam, phalam..." (Gita 9:26)
Whoever offers Me with devotion, a leaf, a flower, a fruit or even water, I
accept these devout offerings of a devotee with love." (Gita 9:26). He likes simple things, but offered with true feelings and sentiments. Just like He loved the banana peel offered by Viduraani. The joy He felt from eating the peel, He hadn't experienced such joy from other foods. He is like that for everyone. What an amazing thing this is.

It is about our real Home. All else is a journey.

Bhaktas must place full confidence in Bhagavan Sri Krishna

The prosperity or adversity a person experiences depends on the noble deeds or sinful acts he had committed . Based on this theory, even good Bhaktas are found to be immersed in grief, while unscrupulous persons are seen enjoying comforts which they may not deserve. But the Bhaktas will take steps to get their problems solved through ardent prayers to their Ishta-deva . On His part, Bhagavan Sri Krishna when worshipped as Ishta-deva, is ever willing to help His Bhaktas.


It is absolutely certain that those who remain devoted to Bhagavan will be enabled to get over the complicated problems. Prayers are bound to diminish their anguish. The caprices of wicked likewise will be short lived, particularly when they continue to ridicule Bhagavan. Bhagavan is ready to welcome into His fold and embrace any one who repents for his sinful acts and seeks His guidance. Sanatana Dharma highlights this aspect that the only way to get rid of our sins and to obtain redemption is to repose unflinching confidence in Bhagavan and beg His protection. The greatness of Hinduism lies in that its strength is derived from Vedas which have delineated Bhagavan and have suggested the study of scriptural texts to realise Bhagavan.


Among them, Srimad Bhagavatam is considered outstanding as it brings out the essence of Bhakti (Vedopanishadam sarath jatha Bhagavathi katha) - meaning Bhagavatam has emanated from the essence of the Vedas and the Upanishad. Those who listen to its exposition will derive peace as their minds will be cleansed of all impurities and they will desist from committing sins (Janmantare bhaveth punyam Thada Bhagavatam Labheth)- meaning, one gets to hear Srimad Bhagavatam only when there is virtue earned in one's past lives. (Srimadbhagavati varta suranamapi durlabha)- meaning Srimad Bhagavatam is a rarity even for the Gods). It was the final work of Vyasa Maharishi and deals with forms of Bhakti exhibited by eminent devotees who had realized Bhagavan .


Bhagavatam with Kunti Stuti in which she makes a strange appeal to Bhagavan Sri Krishna - to keep her ever immersed in grief to ensure her that she would not forget Him, ends with Markandeya Stuti.


In Kali era, where moral decadence and decline of spiritual values make people stray away from the path of virtue, the only solution is to study Bhagavatam. (Kalau thu kevala Bhaktirbrahmasayujy akarini)- meaning in Kali however, Bhakti alone effects unity with Bhagavan .

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya!! !!
