Welcome to the Janmashtami edition of our e-magazine. In this editorial, I will quote some very useful tips given by our Master to devotees on February 17, 1988 at Chittaranjan Park, New Delhi.
The Master stated that we often try to obtain/see God in the way our mind likes. If we indeed want to see God in our own way, then the entire responsibility for that falls on us. When we cannot reach God, we feel disappointed and we begin to blame God. We see this amongst householders as well as Sadhus. On the other hand, if we aspire to see God according to His own will, His wishes, then He will take complete responsibility for u realizing Him!
Our Master further goes on to tell us that God is “Ichhamoyee” who comes to the Jagat to fulfil His wishes. We just have to surrender ourselves to God. He explains this using the image of Lord Shiva lying down as a witness while Ma is enacting the world drama on His body.
He further tells us that God comes to this world to personally take on and reduce the sufferings of the world. He illustrates this using Lord Jesus’ example, where the Lord takes on the pain of the crucifixion in order to reduce the pain and sufferings of the common man in this world.
In conclusion, He urges us to surrender everything at the lotus feet of the Lord and live our lives. So, can we all begin to re-dedicate our lives to the Lord and His work by giving up our sense of ownership of objects, belongings, actions and corresponding results?
Joy Babathakur! Joy Babathakur! Joy Babathakur!
