Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 20-09-2007
In your otherwise flawless Neiveidhiyam there was a little extra salt in one of them. There is another meaning in this. One should work for one’s food. If we work for our food everything will work out well in our lives. You must not live off the labor of others. This will only add to your karma. I mention this because this has become a common practice of living today.
In offices you find that the salaries are increasing while people are constantly trying to reduce their load of work. If they work a lot they expect a parallel raise in salaries and work to get it somehow. In general each should do his duty and be self sufficient. If you can’t wash and iron your own clothes you can atleast wash the plates and tumblers you use for eating and drinking. Nobody is going to stop you. As long as you do these small jobs yourselves and live and don’t make others unhappy you will find a lot of good things that will happen to you. Remember you can grow only by working hard if there is no work there will be no growth! Some might say ‘I am living well enough without working hard!’ This is incorrect. There are two kinds of work – mental and physical. Doing only mental work can cause you sleeplessness. Then you go to a physicians and take tablets to cure this. If this doesn’t work you become very irritable the next day. To avoid this you must meditate and pray. You must not sleep late. Sleep must come and hour after eating. You must get up early in the morning to follow your routine. Health will automatically follow. For all those assembled here a simple pranayama exercise will also alleviate physical ailments. If you practice this regularly you will benefit from this. If you follow my directions; you can experience everything which I have spoken of. ‘Pranayama’ means the art of restoring pranic energy in the body. You must understand that this breath is the connection between your body and soul. If you observe your inhalation and exhalation closely it will become a method of meditation; and soon you will reap the benefits.
