Heart says to the mind thus... [Series - 1]



Heart: Hi, how are you doing today...A small question..do you believe God in a human form?

Mind: Eh, don't be silly...how can that be possible.

H: Hmm, well then; do you deny the godliness of Sri Ramakrushna, Ramana Maharishi, etc.?

M: No, no, no...all of them were great enlightened masters. They are more than God to me.

H: How do you know that, dear?

M: I've read loads of books on them and on many more Masters. If you want, I can lend them to you.

H: See, this is where your ego is playing a trick on you, watch out. You say you find godliness in the dead masters... then why not in a living master; who is in flesh and blood right in front of you?

I'll share a small analogy with you here. "The grandfather when alive lived in the out-house, outside the house. When he died, he was brought inside the house, into the God's room and worshipped!"

This is exactly what we are doing with a living Master every janma (life). We easily, casually brush aside the living Master when we bump into him and may be after He leaves his body, we'll start scrambling in every possible book-store collecting all his books, cd's and information about that Master, and make a lovely book-shelf to store all of them and once again start bragging about our archive with friends and family.

M: Hmm, yes heart, I find a ray of truth in your words. Thanks for enlightening me about living Masters...I won't miss him in this life atleast. If not for you, I wonder how many more janmas I had to come back here. I won't repeat the same mistake. Hey, and by the way, who IS this living Master you are going on and on about?

H: Good, you are on the track now friend. We call him Paramahamsa Nithyananda. Check out this link http://www.dhyanapeetam.org/ or http://www.nithyananda.org/ ... you can relate better to what I'm trying to convey...formless in form and stuff.
Happy reading....bye, will see you tomorrow.

M: Byeee...I'm very eager to talk to you soon.
