Humility is mother of all virtues & most dear to God. दीनता सभी सद्गुणों की जननी है और भगवान को सबसे प्रिय है।

Obedience, fear, reverence, patience, modesty, meekness, and peace all stem from humility. A person who is humble is able to obey everyone easily, is not irritated by anyone, lives in peace with others, and is kind to everyone. He does his duty, makes his full effort but consider the result as a will of God. He is totally dependent on God for everything & keeps no strength of himself. That’s why he receive divine #grace and protection.

आज्ञा पालन, भय, श्रद्धा, धैर्य, विनम्रता, नम्रता और शांति ये सभी दीनता से उत्पन्न होते हैं। जो व्यक्ति जितना दीन होता है वह उतना आसानी से सबकी आज्ञा मान लेता है, किसी से परेशान या चिढ़ता नहीं, दूसरों के साथ शांति से रहता है और सबके प्रति दयालु होता है। वह अपना कर्तव्य करता है, पूरा प्रयास करता है पर परिणाम को भगवद् इच्छा मानकर स्वीकार करता है। वह पूरी तरह से भगवद् आश्रित रहता है और खुद की कोई ताकत नहीं रखता। इसलिए वह ईश्वरीय #कृपा और रक्षा का पात्र होता है।

God works through people & situations! भगवान व्यक्तियों और परिस्थितियों के माध्यम से कार्य करते हैं!

Anyone who asks God for humility & grace should be aware of what they are asking for, that is to say, God sends someone to mistreat him or some difficulty to face. Adversity bring us closer to God.

जो कोई भी भगवान से दीनता और कृपा मांगता है, उसे पता होना चाहिए कि वे क्या मांग रहा है, यानी, भगवान किसी को उसके साथ दुर्व्यवहार करने या किसी कठिनाई का सामना करने के लिए भेजे। विपत्तियाँ हमें भगवान के करीब लाती हैं।

Spiritual Practice is Necessary! साधना अनिवार्य है!

Seeing the intense spiritual practice (sadhna), God’s grace descends. When sadhna stops, grace also stops. If someone thinks that there is no God realization without grace, what’s the use of doing sadhna then keep sitting, it will never happen.

गहन साधना देखकर ईश्वर की कृपा होती है। जब साधना बंद हो जाती है तो कृपा भी बंद हो जाती है। यदि कोई यह सोचता है कि कृपा के बिना ईश्वर प्राप्ति नहीं होती तो साधना करने से क्या लाभ तो बैठे रहो, ऐसा कभी नहीं होगा।

A Spiritual Awakening

Some 15 years back, 18th September 2009, I was on an official trip to Detroit, Michigan (USA). It was around midnight and I was unable to sleep. My hotel (Extended stay America) was across the road, opposite to the Fairlane Mall in Dearborn. I came out to take a stroll in the parking lot. I was feeling a deep emptiness about life, a meaninglessness which comes with the competitive strife and self seeking. I wondered if anyone really cared for anyone. I thought & felt very deeply about it and promised to myself, of being there for others selflessly.

It was soon afterwards when I went back to bed that I felt a spark like something inside my head, it felt very blissful and I slept like never before.

When I woke up everything around me seemed to be new and fresh like I have never seen before as if I have been in darkness all my life. The dew drops, the grass, the trees, the sky all seemed to be full of bliss and life. I felt a deep oneness and love in my being with everything and everyone.

I experienced a profound sense of compassion, I visited hospitals to give flowers to the sick, wondering how beautiful the world would be if we can all love and care for others without reward or credit. It was an indescribable feeling of joy and happiness which motivated me on a journey from a self centered life to a life centered in God. A journey of growth and understanding that the selfless love is the Heart of God and He cares the most for his lost children to be found. His grace flows to those who selflessly works to give hope & help to others and bring them back to Him.

May we all seek the unfathomable love of God and help others to do so. 🙏

My Lord, I am all things unholy! हे प्रभु, मैं सर्वप्रकार अपवित्र हूँ!

However Big a sinner he may be, his welfare is certain if he is completely dependent on the grace of God!

कितना ही बड़ा पापी क्यों ना हो, उसका कल्याण निश्चित है अगर वो प्रभु कृपा पर पूर्णता आश्रित है!

पाप किय अनंत मैंने, ह्रदय कठोर खल कामी,
आया शरण हार के, कृपा करो अब स्वामी।

My Lord, I have committed endless sins, my heart is hardened due to treachery and indulgence. I am lonely and lost, seeking your shelter. May you have mercy on me!

A God is No God who can be known. वो ईश्वर ईश्वर नहीं जिसे जाना जा सके।

A God that can be known by effort is no God. He can be known only by His Grace.

जिस ईश्वर को प्रयास से जाना जा सके, वह ईश्वर नहीं है। उसे केवल उसकी कृपा से ही जाना जा सकता है।

यह गुन साधन तें नहिं होई।
तुम्हरी कृपा पाव कोइ कोई॥ 
~ रामायण

Humble ourselves or life will do it for us. खुद झुक जाये नहीं तो जिंदगी झुका देगी।

Until we are tired, broken by our faults and sorrows, we do not understand our pitiable condition and do not feel humble before God. God love us immensely, His shelter is the only solution.

जब तक हम थक नहीं जाते, अपने दोषों और दुखों से टूट नहीं जाते, तब तक अपनी दयनीय स्थिति समझ में नहीं आती और ईश्वर के आगे दीनता नहीं आती। ईश्वर हमें बेहद प्रेम करता है, उसका आश्रय ही एक मात्र उपाय है।
