How to attain , Harmony with Sri Krishna ?

A person's heart is like a tree . Two birds are sitting on that tree .  One Bird enjoys the fruits of that tree whereas the other Bird just witnesses everything .  The first Bird is *Jeevatma* ( soul) . And the second bird is *Paramatma* or Supersoul ( Sri Krishna) . 

How could  a Person's *Jeevatma* attain blissful harmony with *Paramatma* ? .  It is by Bhakti ,  By surrendering to the divine personal form of Sri Krishna and chanting Bhagavan's favorite *Hare Krishna Mahamantra* , a Bhakta can attain perfect harmony with Bhagavan . 

By seeking *SharanAgathi*  in Sri Krishna, a Bhakta registers himself for Bhagavan's grace . The constant Chanting of * Hare Krishna Mahamantra* removes the dirt in his heart thereby revealing the divine form of Sri Krishna . 

In reality , we all are nothing . We are just instruments in the hands of Bhagavan who uses us for various purposes .  It is our freewill that decides whether to become *Daivic* ( Godly) by obeying Sri Krishna's instructions ( Vedas summarized in Gita)  or to become *Asuric* ( demonic) by opposing Him . 

Please chant  :

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

and be happy !!!

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya!! !

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.

Dependency is not liked by anyone

Dependency is not liked by anyone. A dependent man does not gain happiness even in his sleep. "Paraadheen sapanehun sukhu naahi." (Manasa 1:102:3). Inspite of being so, then too man desires happiness from others, desires respect from others, desires praise from others, desires to gain from others - this is so very astonishing ! He who desires happiness from things, from individuals, from situations, from circumstances, from events, from various states / stages, from rest and relaxation, from gain, he has to become dependent. He cannot be saved whether he be Brahma or Indra or anyone for that matter. I say this to the extent that even Bhagwaan cannot be saved. He who desires something from anyone will definitely become dependent.
He who desires Paramatma, he is not dependent; because Paramatma is not other. This Jeev (embodied soul) is very much an "ansh" (part of, ray of consciousness) of Paramatma, but on desiring anything other than Paramatma we become dependent; because besides Paramatma, nothing else is ours. It is only on having no desire for other things, that desire for Paramatma is awakened. If desire for other things does not remain, then Paramatma will be realized.

When there is desire for anything, that desire validates a deficiency, a lack of something. In other words, unnecessarily at no cost, why are you buying paucity? If you desire to be happy, then do not desire happiness from anyone. Get rid of this thought completely from within - once and for all that "We will gain from another." Nothing can be done by anyone. He who desires something from another, can he be saved from dependency? Can he become independent? Therefore make this point firm - I will not desire anything from anyone!
He who sees himself has reliant on that which is acuqired and later gets away(i.e. perishables) , how can he be happy? The Self is not one that is created and destroyed (perishable) . The Self is Imperishable. There is another very extraordinary point - He who desire something from another is non-deserving. He is not deserving at all. Just like, one who desires respect from another, he is not deserving of respect. He who is deserving of respect, does not desire respect. If you look into it, out of 18 Akshouni armies, in which all were Kshatriyas and Kshatriyas alone, and inspite of being a Kshatriya Himself, Bhagwaan Shri Krishna, became a charioteer leading Arjun's horses. Such an ordinary task he undertook, that can be mocked! Can driving the horses be valiant work? Is it the kind of work that commands any respect? But He was not ashamed of doing such work. He was deserving of respect therefore he had no desire for respect. Now how is one to know that He is deserving of respect? In the opposite army, Bhishmaji is the first one to blow the conch, and in this army, Bhagwaan Shri Krishna is the first to blow the conch. Because in the Kaurava army, the most important person was Bhishma and in the Pandava army the most important person was Shri Krishna.

He who desires respect is a slave to respect and is not deserving of any respect. He who desires disciples, is a slave to disciples and is not a Guru. He who desires wealth is a slave to wealth, not a master of wealth. Therefore desires must be removed from the mind completely.
