(Baba quotes from a Samratchana song “kaatirku pogavum
vendaamam”)
No need for the solitude of the forests
No need for arduous penance
Perform your worldly duties with the detachment of a Yogi
That is the wisdom of this Siddha Yogi.
By experiencing, Karmas have dissolved, so
Everyone has become God!
When you reach this stage, you will get the answer to this
question.
When you experience your karmas and complete them, there is
nothing else left and so you attain God.
We have all the facilities here to help you realize your
Godhood. What Lord Krishna emphasized several eons ago is
relevant even in the present day context: Do your duty; do not
wait for results.
So
1. Whatever work you have undertaken, do it sincerely and
diligently without waiting for recognition or bothering about
criticism. Your conscience is your yardstick.
2. Try to score cent percent in whatever you do. Do your work
so diligently that no one else can do it better. Then you have
made a big leap from humanity to Divinity. Serve without a
single blemish or fault.
Become a 100% performer; because half-baked stuff cannot
become a palatable pudding and you will continue remaining
a human being or go down the hierarchy. Make use of the
opportunities you have here to nurture your talent and
weed away your follies. It is for you to understand and
climb up the divine ladder.
When you climb a steep mountain, the only inspiration you need
to hold on to is this: ‘someone has already climbed, so why
not I?’
Secondly, perseverance. Whatever be the hurdles you face, do
not waver. Just surge ahead. Go step by step - - on the lines
of ‘Lead Thou me on, yet one step enough for me’. When you
attempt at any task with a quest for perfection and
excellence, you will gradually start realizing the Divinity
within you. Then there is no need to hanker after pilgrimages,
mantras, tantras, yagams etc.
Whatever is stipulated by the sastras (scriptures) as the
right sadhana path is already here. Just that you need to make
use of this facility. The sastras say that Yagams (fire
offerings) have to be performed; we have Agnihotra (daily
homam) here. You have the conducive environment to think of
God in sathsang (company of noble like-minded persons). There
are manifold opportunities to render service in God’s mission.
And Samratchana is one big family, where you are able to do
away with hatred, anger and jealousy and nurture the divine
qualities of Love and Compassion towards all. You have
everything that will grant you peace. Shed your ego, anger,
selfishness which are the greatest impediments to your
progress.
I have not stated anything new now. Everything is practical
Vedantha(philosophy) can be easily practiced. The
day you start practicing rather than just hearing, that
moment you will attain Divinity.
