Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 29-09-2007
There is something I would like to say some of you want to achieve spiritual heights and have special experiences. You desire these but I don’t see you working for them! You seem to forget that only by constant practice of what you have been taught can you achieve this.
Everyone these days is busy chasing material gains. I do not refute the necessity of satisfying material needs. The question is just how much do you actually need? A human being needs clothing, food and shelter for respite after a hard day’s work. You might say you need to save and accumulate some wealth for your children. Fair enough! But are you sure they know how to look after this and not get cheated by others? After a point they are no longer your responsibility. The God who created them will look after them. So why do you spend your lives chasing wealth? Spend some time everyday contemplating on God.
Next why are you so keen on knowing what the future is? Nothing can block all the good events that are going to happen in your lives. Stop wandering here and there trying to look into the future with horoscopes in your hands. If there is something disadvantageous in the offing, can you prevent it? After spending a lot of money on other’s advice there is no point in complaining about what is happening and blaming it on God.
For him who surrenders to God there will be no such difficulty. This is because he has the wisdom and maturity to accept what happens. His karma is what is affecting his life is something he understands. God is no way responsible for this. He does however give us the power to withstand it and so he must surrender to Him completely. Otherwise in an egoistic fashion believe that it is you as an individual who is acting and take complete responsibility for it. Do not waver between the two positions half heartedly. Make up your mind to be one way or the other.
