Noble
propensities entail blessed life
God-remembrance itself is an
act of supreme merit, the highest blessing, unequalled wisdom, an ideal virtue,
a divine endowment and the mother of all noble propensities; while forgetting
God is a gross sin, a terrible misfortune, an egregious folly, an abominable
vice, a dire calamity and the origin of all evil propensities.
It
is forgetfulness about God that leads to the prepondence of Rajoguna and
Tamoguna and swelling egotism, pride, hatred, anger, violence, hypocrisy etc.,
makes a man’s life miserable both here and hereafter. If you are keen to guard
against these vices, depravities and evil propensities take to constant
remembrance of God. The moment you begin to discharge all your legitimate
duties in a spirit of service to God, thinking of Him all the time, all your
evil propensities will disappear; nay, you will constantly be able to perceive
God in all created beings and every act of yours will turn into worship of God.
God
indwells every living being; nay, every living being is an embodiment of God or
in other words, it is God alone who is manifesting in the form every living
being. Armed with this conviction treat every living being with respect,
gratify everyone and do good to all. Do not look down upon anyone, do not
entertain a low opinion about anyone. If you feel inclined to assign a low,
humble and degraded position to anyone, you must attribute these to your own
self and the truth also lies that way.
Divine
grace descends on him alone who ever remains bent low before God, entertaining
a low and humble opinion about him. God loves humility and loathes pride. He
curbs pride and hugs the humble. He alone is highly fortunate and a man of good
moral character in reality, who is a slave to enjoyment, who is under the sway
of fleeting pleasures of sense, which are a source of affliction, is most
unfortunate and lives in sin. He begets and undergoes suffering alone both here
and hereafter.
He
alone really serves all, perceiving God in all, who shows respect to others
though free from pride himself, who meets to the best of his ability the wishes
of others, though free from hankering himself, nay, who while ignoring his own
sufferings, courts all sorts of sufferings in order to make others happy, and
who protects the rights of others, waiving his own—not he who merely repeats
the utterance ‘God exists in all’.
He
alone actually turns out to be highly virtuous, supremely lucky, truly wise,
rich in all good qualities, ever affluent and a storehouse of all noble
propensities, who does everything for the sake of serving God, perceiving God
in all and ceaselessly remembering Him at every time. Through every phase of
his life and through every gesture of his he continues to propagate divine
virtues, divine sentiments, nay, Divinity Itself throughout the world every
moment. He alone has achieved the end of his life, his life alone is blessed.
Such
an ideal person is not only blessed himself but exalts by his very birth and
existence his country, faith, race and his parents too; and for aeons together
he stands out as a beacon-light to the coming generations and makes for their
moral and spiritual uplift.
