Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 09-02-2010
Spiritualism is to increasingly to explore the soul. In these troubled days many seek God for peace of mind. God on His part wishing to give, relief reaches out to them. However what I would like to mention is that this often fails to happen. Each individual has a residue of karma in his “account”. This has to be worked out. So it is unrealistic and wrong to expect immediate changes. In addition I would like to tell you that before entering the spiritual path and seeking to reach high spiritual levels any individual has to be a good human being.
“What does it mean to be a good human being?” some may ask.
Firstly he or she must show concern for others. You must unselfishly be aware of what is convenient or comfortable for others and act accordingly. A good example of how we lack this quality in our nation is the way we drive in our roads! It seems to be considered a weakness to give way to someone else. Instead try to understand the position in which others are and understand what they need to. Secondly throw out arrogance. You are in no way superior to the person next to you. “Valluvanukkum Valluvan undan”. Remember there will always be someone greater than you or more important than you. Some feel showing affection is also a weakness. This is not so. Learn to think that if God is our father we are all His children. Otherwise it is meaningless to wish to progress on the spiritual path. Get rid of expectations. Unfulfilled expectations result in anger. The harm caused will affect you more than the victim. Because when we get angry we are unaware of our losing control and become prey to blinding emotion. In this manner we accumulate some negative karma. I caution you to keep this in mind constantly.
Great souls have advised men and women to first take a soul at themselves and eradicate their own flaws before entering the path of spirituality. If you follow this, you can become instrumental in causing many changes for the better. If you find that you lack good qualities that you see in others inculcate them. If you see defective characteristics in others see if you can spot them in yourself and eradicate them. Let this be your first step. Otherwise after traveling a short distance you may have to give up and the whole universe would be futile. So think a little, it is you who have to make the changes. Even for this you need the help of God’s grace; the efforts have to be initiated by you.
