    संसार में रहते हुए प्रभु का सतत चिंतन कैसे संभव है? _ How to grow spiritually while leading a householder's life?
    Jul 18 2020
    We all know that our mind remains obsessed with the thoughts about our dear ones. The word 'dear' implies somebody whose glance calms the eyes, whose voice gratifies the ears, whose touch soothes the body, whose name tastes sweet to tongue, whose nearness enchants us and above all, whose memories are pleasing to the soul. So we just need to passionately wish that God becomes dear to us and rest happens own its own. If He blesses us with this kind of sacred sentiment, then all our ordinary activities 'effortlessly' strat revolving around Him only. The example of Gopis can be illustrated here. Lord Krishna ignited the flame of His love in their hearts due to which they could think of nothing else than Him while their physical bodies would remain busy in the household chores. Moreover, contemplation on God surely makes us see Him and His Sight has its best reward of restoring the seeker to his natural state of being (sehaj awastha) i.e. accepting life just as it comes and feeling blissful in every type of situation. Practically, constant remembrance of God has little to do with ritualistic worshiping rather it is about recollecting the fact that this whole creation belongs to my beloved God and hence no creature can deserve my bitterness. On that basis, not having animosity against anybody and cheerful acceptance of everything in His Name signify a high-class spiritual life.

  • राग, अनुराग और भाव में क्या अंतर है?_Why Are There Varying Moods In Devotional Singing?

    राग, अनुराग और भाव में क्या अंतर है?_Why Are There Varying Moods In Devotional Singing?
    Jul 17 2020
    Raag means attachment with somebody in the world who makes us feel happy. Raag becomes anuraag when we feel attached to God and this is called Divine love. Attachment exists at physical level and hence subjective to change. Often when we fail to obtain the response as per our expectations, some sort of negativity naturally enters our heart. But that is not the case with love as it only grows to get condensed in the form of 'bhaav' (spirit). Bhaav is a permanent impression affixed on soul through which a devotee connects to His beloved Lord. Now the question arises how to feel this kind of affinity with the one who is omnipresent but invisible. The answer is that it naturally happens when we start dealing with God as a close friend, guardian, lover or whatever way we like. Actually He is already wanting us to lovingly draw closer to Him but our perspective of looking at Him as Almighty only keeps us away. All the rituals of worshipping, fasting and other customary protocols are initially essential to foster our keenness for Him. It is like learning ‘A’ by referring to an ‘Apple’ but in process we have to move ahead of the word while grasping the alphabet. Sadly, many of us tighten our grip just on religious references while the one who is being referred to is skipped. The devotees who are able to maintain their hold on Him, their formal adoration gradually recedes or mode of its performance changes. As love is always felt new, the moods of devotees too vary from being fully submissive to being annoyed even. Lord grants them a few moments of union which triggers their emotions for Him. They wish to have more and more of this sweet time but He seems to be delaying it. Consequently, the spirit of surrender remains intact but the insatiable love starts taunting Him. This is an implication of faithfully directing all our feelings (negative as well as positive) towards Him only. Devotional lovers thank Him for the exotic showers of His love, feel remorseful for His habit of disappearing too soon, long for His return, complain for undue delay, argue against His probable remarks and reminisce about the golden time spent together. None of these moods refutes the dedication of devotees rather all of these add flavors to their rapport with God. In fact, this intimacy goes to the extent that they believe all their actions (right/ wrong) being done at His behest alone.

  • आधयात्मिक मार्ग का निर्णय कैसे हो?_Which Is The Best way to God?

    आधयात्मिक मार्ग का निर्णय कैसे हो?_Which Is The Best way to God?
    Jul 16 2020
    All the ways to God are equally significant but a seeker has to choose one as per his personal preference. Recognizing the fact that we all have different kinds of nature, spirituality offers us multiple options to initiate our spiritual journey. Intellectual people may opt for Gyaan maarg (knowledge based), industrious temperament finds its fit in Karm maarg (action oriented) while our emotional tendency takes us through Bhakti maarg (devotion). If we are clear about the purpose of our life and fully prepared to strive hard for it, the appropriate path would surely make us succeed. 'Appropriate' is a relative term and spirituality is liberal enough to let us begin by any path chosen on the basis of our self analysis. However once begun, we must not stop or divert just like we travel straight by only one route for arriving at a geographical location. Moreover, as we are aiming towards Supreme bliss, we ought to start feeling delighted, though partially, at our first step itself. So this can be taken as a criterion to confirm our voyaging by correct route because if we do not find our spiritual activities delightful, it signifies some sort of lack on our part. In that case, we need to re-evaluate ourselves or sincerely seek guidance from our mentor as cure may not be effective without adhering to the proper regimen. Most importantly, our objective is to arrive at a destination and entry at the arrival point requires leaving the path even. Hence their is no contradiction about the ways to God as each certainly leads to Divine bliss. Time taken to cover the distance upto Him ofcourse depends upon our speed, which in turn, is a derivative of our zeal to reach.
