'asato ma sad gamaya,
tamaso ma jyotir gamaya,
mrtyor mamrtam gamaya,
om shanti shanti shanti.'
'Lead me from the unreal to the real
Lead me from the darkness to the light
Lead me from death to the immortality
Let there be peace, peace, peace.
(The Pavamana Mantra of Brahadaranyaka Upanishad)
'The young man thought aloud,
I'm
Honest,
Principled,
Straight forward,
Hardworking
Helpful to others
and
CharitableIn my life..
Where's it specially required to
Go round the Worshiping Places,
Read Sacred Books,
Offer Prayers
and
Worship the Deity of belief
All along carrying a feeling within me that
'I move because Some One moves me?'”
The elderly man proclaimed,
"No doubt, I should be
Honest,
Principled,
Straight forward,
Hardworking
Helpful to others
and
Charitable in my life
Without a say.. Beyond let me equally remember that for my happy living..
The Sun rises daily in the east to heat me to the required,
The Winds blow all round bringing copious rains in time quenching my thirst,
The Rivers flow all along down the slopes distributing those waters where required,
The Hills constantly control the movement of winds bringing the required cool surroundings and
The Oceans forever help Nature store the precious essentials of life..
Beyond,
Various complicated and delicately balanced Systems
continuously work in my body in perfect synchronization making me feel all the time
Healthy,
Happy
and
Energetic..
Then why not I thank
The Unseen Power behind all this Perfection
For making my living complete thru' such
Sacred Support
And myself equally
Go round the Worshiping Places,
Read Sacred Books,
Offer Prayers
and
Worship the Deity of belief
All along carrying a feeling within me that
'I move because Some One moves me'
Otherwise called
The Daily Prayer of my life?"

ReplyDeleteThanks Archana.. The Truth ever speaks that, no doubt!

ReplyDeleteThanks Shweta for making such an explanatory and meaningful comment.. You have very rightly understood the Message here! Thanks once again..

ReplyDeleteExcellent thought. Hats off to you Sir.
Love to quote this verse from bhaghavad Gita.
"patram puspam phalam toyam
yo me bhaktya prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahrtam
asnami prayatatmanah"
If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit a water, I will accept it.
Very much right Explanation through the beautiful Sloka of Srimad Bhagavad Gita.. Your Comment is very much valuable on these Pages.. Thanks for the same!
DeleteBeautiful post Sir! It relates more so because my husband is an atheist!! And at times it's tough explaining things to him!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deepa for the appreciation.. The attitude described in the Post is 100% a positive attitude alone in one's life and that no way limits the growth and expression of the individual in any direction. With such a firm faith one can sure do more than one is capable of thus bringing betterment to oneself as well as to the people around. Wishes!
DeleteBeautiful post Sir, indeed we are all ruled by HIM
