dattaswami Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 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. www.universal-spirituality.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
