ॐ पूर्णमिदम पूर्णमद:
पूर्णात पूर्णम् उदच्यते
पूर्णस्य पूर्णम् आदाय
पुर्णमेवावशिष्यते
We in ourselves are whole. पूर्णम् Why then we don’t feel it? In the answer of this question lies the whole of Adhyaatmashaastra. What is the process of being whole? How can we feel पूर्णम्। What are the steps towards this perfection? There are four paths given in the ‘Bhagawadgeeta’ by Bhagawan Shrikrishna : Gyaanyoga, Karmayoga, Bhaktiyoga & Rajyoga.
Among these four, भक्तियोग is very simple & very strong path to achieve this पूर्णता
In नारद भक्तिसूत्र while defining the भक्ति नारदमुनी has clearly stated the परिणाम of भक्ति.
Yallabdhwa pumaan siddho Bhavati
Amruto Bhavati Trupto Bhavati
Paramprem of Ishwar is such an Rasaayan by which Antahkaran of Bhakta gets pured and he becomes siddha Amrut & Trupta.
Having love of God nothing remains for him to achieve. He gets the real happiness & entire satisfaction in this state.
What is the process then, to achieve this Purnata, this total satisfaction?
Bhakti is one of the path towards this perfection. The path which is very easy to follow. The path on which anybody can walk through. Anybody who is illiterate, anybody who is pure at heart & mind. Anybody who is serene. Anybody who loves the hieghest truth. Anybody who loves good & happiness.
If we go to search this "Anybody" it is difficult to get such a person in this Kaliyug. Because as we see the Guna's of a Bhakta it is difficult to have a Sad-bhakta. They are so rare in today's world. It is very difficult to find them. Though we find the Bhakta, it is most difficult to recognize the True Bhakta.
Because in this Kaliyug the virtue's of true Bhakta are ignored. They are treated as his weaknesses & not his strong points. Actually forgiveness, helping others, truth, Nashkaam Karma, bearing other's faults, not to put blame on others all these are virtue's or you can say 'Guts' / 'Spiritual Guts' of the pure Bhakta.
Pure Bhakta depends upon his Upaasya Daivat or his Beloved God for everythng. For a common man this dependency is very difficult, but for a true Bhakta it is very easy as his full life, his feelings, his aacharan everything is connected to Him. He (the Bhakta)talks to Him like He is his First friend, then fast friend & then Priyatam. And we know when "X" is in love with "Y", he is always thinking about "Y" only. And do you know my dear friends, how powerful is the smaraN of God is? There is a tremendous power in just the remembrance of Him.
Our mind becomes pure because of even a slight smruti of that Almighty (PoorNabrahma). Even if the smaraN is Xanbhar i.e. for a smallest moment only, it pures the whole of us inside. But we wander in this world full day & it is difficult for us to maintain that purity. So, if we want to get purer & purer in our life day by day & get pur peace i.e. Bliss, we must remember God every now & then, our true friend, our true beloved.
We have to surrender all our beleifs, all our negative feelings like fear, anxieties, regrets, insecurities to His Holy Feet, who recides in our own heart. And to exprerience Him again we have to clean our heart & mind by His only name & remembrance with faith. This is the easy remedy to all our problems.
"To Him alone you go, in all conditions." says the BhagavadGeeta.
The more is our surrender unto Him, the more shall He come to express Himself through us.
Therefore let us carry ourselves confidently; success shall be ours, and in fact, failure canonly be "Success Delayed" to every True Bhakta of the Lord.
We must understand some fundamentsl rules of Adhyaatmashaastra.
As Swami Chinmayananda in his "We Must" booklet states "All our success entirely depends upon ourselves. Let us never look outside ourselves for help. Let us not fall into the delusion that the influence of others would enable us to do better or accomplish more."
He firmly says : "Spiritual education and religious practices make us realise that we are a part of a whole scheme, and the essential creativeness behind the whole universe is the essencial Essence ruling in the heart of each one of us : Shivoham Shivoham ".
In conclusion I would like to say that if you want to feel your heart & mind with pure peace / bliss, you must understand the AdhyaatmaShaastra & its fundamental rules which we find in our ancient heritage Vedas, Upanishadas, Shastras, Puraanaas. If these are difficult to understand & you want in simple language then go to the "Saint's Literature" in your mother toungue.
Enlightened Saints are KaruNaamay towards wordly people. They explain the truths & rules (they have experienced) in a very simple language & lucid manner. If you ever read their literature or listen to them or their cassattes or CDs with pure Jidhnyasa having faith you will be definately satisfied.
So dear friends are you ready for a Peace March which begins from our heart.......
