Without total – sacrifice, how God can be pleased by you?

[dattaswami]

Without total – sacrifice, how God can be pleased by you?

 

In Nivrutti God is the only aim, - In Pravrutti your happiness is the aim

And God is only instrument to – achieve the happiness and is secondary.

For Pravrutti there is no need of – human form of God, the power of God

Is pervading all over the world, - you can pray in any way and get benefit.

You can serve statue or pray – formless God, God’s power responds to you.

Only for Nivrutti, human incarnation – is very much essential from beginning.

You think that God needs certain – specific number of liberated souls

In every year through Nivrutti, - otherwise God’s post is not retained!

You think that you will demand – God for all facilities in Nivrutti also

Since God has to save His post, - God’s value must be realized fully.

A sage was doing penance for – Nivrutti and a mad devotee is dancing,

Both asked sage Narada to – ask God for the time of their future salvation.

Narada came back and told – the sage that salvation comes in four births,

He told the devotee that – salvation for him takes millions of births.

The sage became impatient, but – the devotee danced with happiness

Shouting that he gets salvation – so quickly, immediately God said that

The devotee is liberated at once – and not the sage, what is this?

It means that the devotee understood – the real value of God, where as

The sage under estimated the value – of God and hence God’s reaction.

If the value of God is not properly – understood, you will have all sorts of

Fear and tension, without total – sacrifice, how God can be pleased by you?

 

Total sacrifice or surrender should be – also natural but not by any effort.

Hanuman and sages understood the – real value of God first and then only

Reached the human form of God, - to serve Him and sacrifice to Him totally.

The fruit was not in their view, - the fruit that was aspired by them was only

Continuation of their service to Him, - more than that, it was only God’s will.

Truth is very pungent but Nivrutti – is always based on absolute truth only.
