Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 05-04-2011
I would like to reply to the question of a person who was little irritated and seemed disheartened when he asked me, “Does the path of spirituality allow no comforts?” I have already mentioned that the ordinary kind of happiness or comforts is of a temporary one. When you come to the spiritual path you must let go of these one by one. You must understand this is the real situation. It is true that God has created this world with all its comforts for our sake. However you must stop and think, “From where have we come?” Do you feel you must return to this same place? If so, the reality is that you must leave this world and go there. This is the ultimate truth. Such being the case, you need to become independent of the pleasures and comforts of this world. Since many are unable to do this it becomes impossible for them to progress on the spiritual path. What you need to understand and practice is that you have to feel detachment towards all to which you are attached. Tell yourself when even this physical frame is going to be left behind, surely everything else is of little consequence (a mere plaything)! Even these, I declare, have to be left behind! This is the universal truth I would declare.
