Conversation between Son & Mother

Jai Shri Ram

An extremely rich and powerful person - Chief Minister to an Emperor- decided to repay all the debts to this world. He had enough money and powers. He went on calling his friends, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, teachers, ... And kept on giving them whatever they wanted and took a word from them - "You are debt free from my side" !! Finally, he went to his mother :

Son: Mother ! Kindly forgive my request. I am capable, rich and powerful. I want to repay all debts to everyone and want to have a feeling that: 'I am debt free' ! Please tell me what can I offer you ! Kindly !! What is the value I can pay for your debts on me !!!

Mother smiled. She said:

Son ! I don't want to narrate you what I did for you after I gave birth to you. You are valuation expert. I narrate to you an incidence before your birth. You yourself value that, pay me what is correct value of that as per you, and you shall be 'debt free' from my side too !!

Mom then stated:

When I conceived you, I was very anxious about your future- Hence I went to an astrolger. He saw the stars etc and stated that the child will be a son to be born on say so and so date. But on that day there will be strong movements in nakshtras. If he takes birth after 7 AM but before 8 AM he shall become a great and rich trader. If he takes birth after 8:00 AM but before 8:30 AM , he shall become the next best- Chief Minister- to the Emperor. If he takes birth after 8:30 AM - he shall become the Emperor of this country !

But Son, as the luck would have it, I started feeling labour pains at 6 AM on the day of your birth. I was hell bent on seeing you to become an Emperor. Though the 'daai' ( lady doctor) thought I shall die, but I forced her to tie me and make me hang with legs up and head down to a ceiling hook. She kept on saying 'It is dangerous, you can die' but I kept on insisting to keep me hanging till 8:30 AM. I wanted you to become the Emperor. But I fainted due to sheer pain at 8:00 AM. She untied me and you were born at 8:15 AM !!

Son ! I leave the valuation of that pain, that agony that I sufferred during those 2 hours for you to become Emperor. Now decide and offer me that value.
Son fell at the feet of his mother saying: I can not repay you, Mom, I can never repay you !!

An aspirant can follow either of the two paths

Jai Shri Ram
An aspirant can follow either of the two paths. Those who are attached (attracted) to the world should accept the first point - "All this is not existing, only Paramatma IS existing" While those who are totally detached from the world and are engaged only in meditation, contemplation, name recitation, chanting and adoration etc., should accept the second path which is that "In the form of this world is only Bhagwaan." As such if seen, both these paths are one and the same in Essence (tattva). Yet there seems to be a difference in them in the same way as, there seems to be difference in different kinds of ornaments of gold and the gold itself. In the former there is predominance of discrimination "vivek", where one knows Paramatma in essence, by recognizing the perishability and non-existent nature of the world. While in the latter there is predominance of "Existence" (bhaav) , where it is believed that everything in this world is a manifestation of Paramatma. Devotees who worship attributeless God attach importance to discrimination, while those who worship the Lord with attributes, attach importance to sentiments "bhaav".
But in fact, both of these are about knowing Paramatma in "Essence" (Tattva) i.e. 1) to know the non-existing nature of the world is to know Paramatma as well as, 2) to accept the world as a manifestation of God (bhagwatswaroop) is also knowing Paramatma in "Essence". Because in reality, both are one and the same. The difference is only that in the path of Knowledge there is predominance of "knowing" and in the path of devotion there is predominance of "acceptance" (believing).

Necessity And Desire

Look, there are two things – necessity and desire. Necessity is always fulfilled but desire is never fulfilled. Kanyadaan (charity in form of giving daughter to in-laws in marriage) is necessary but there is no need to worry about it.
Wherever the daughter has to go, her engagement will be arranged. You have to work hard, but not to worry. Your rights is only to your duty, but not to fruit thereof . Making an effort towards Kanyaadaan is your work. However Kanyaadaan will certainly happen – this is not in your hands.When you are hungry, then there is necessity (aavashyaktaah) of food in stomach, but to want a specific flavor or a particular type of delicious food –this is a desire (kaamnaa). Necessity (aavashyaktaah) is fulfilled, but till date no one's desires (kaamnaa) has been fulfilled. So far it has not happened in anyone's life that all desires have been fulfilled. But the fulfillment of "necessities" (aavashyaktaah) are ordained. In this manner there is necessity and desire. Please listen to this with great concentration and attention and implement/imbibe in it.
I was not able to understand this for many years. I used to give discourses and gave these for many years, but the fact that "necessity" and "desire" are two separate – I understood this point very late. Such truths, were received with great harship. To understand it's essence has been difficult and it has taken a lot of time.
The reason I am sharing this with you is so that you may value and respect these points. There is no egotism in this, there is no greatness, nothing extraordinary, in these; if it had been then I would have known this beforehand. But it never occurred to thia mind. There had been many such knots, which were untied by Gita. But if you want to know, then you can know it very easily.
It is very easy and straightforward.What is "necessity" (aavashyaktaah) and "desire" (kaamnaa)? At the root, at the very essence the necessity (aavashyaktaah) is of Parmatma and desire (kaamnaa) is of world. This is the main essence. May we always live, may we be ever knowledgeable, may we be eternally happy – this is a necessity (aavashyaktaah) ; because this need of ours is actually of Existence-Conscious ness-Bliss- Absolute (Sat-Chit-Anand- Ghan) personified Parmatma. But the extent to which you consider the world as "necessary" (aavashyaktaah) , how much you want from it, it is all only "desires." When I grasped these two differences, then my mind was elated that today a thorn has been removed from inside!Necessity is something else, desire is something else.
In English I have heard `need' and `desire'- these two words. I have asked many educated people that what is the difference between these two words, but they were not able to point out the real difference. As I say that necessity is only of Paramatma and desire is only of world. But the educated Englishmen did not say it that clearly. Necessities are to be fulfilled; they can never be wiped out. The necessity of Paramatmatattva (realizing the Essential Truth, Essence of God) and our inadequacy in that regard, it can never be erased without attaining fulfillment – this is a law. If a law, a principle is broken then say so.

Love versus Lust

Worldly people due to their ignorance, do not understand the true nature of Love. They regard lust to be the same as Love.
Lust is seen in most beings, especially more so in evil people, devils, demons, fiends, animals etc. Only the liberated Souls are capable of true Love.
1. In lust both parties want to receive something from the other, while in Love, a devotee (lover) wants to offer everything to the Lord (Beloved).
2. In lust a person wants to satisfy his senses, while in Love he wants to serve the Lord (beloved), without any desire for personal gain (without wanting anything in return).
3. Lust is physical, while Love is spiritual, it is divine.
4. Lust involves delusion and pain, while Love is totally free from delusion and pain, and involves emancipation and infinite bliss.
5. In lust there is attachment and dependence, while in Love there isrelinquishment and independence.
6. Lust is selfish, while Love is selfless.
7. One who is lustful, becomes a slave to the object of lust, while Bhagwaan Himself becomes a slave to a devotee that is capable of Love.
8. Lust changes into insipidity, while love enhances every moment,intensifying into a blissful state.
9. Lust is born of need, i.e. out of something lacking, while Love sprouts from completeness and the lover (devotee) remains happy in the happiness of the beloved (God).
10. In lust there is desire to derive pleasure, while in Love a lover(devotee) wants to please the Beloved (Bhagwaan, Lord).
11. Lust leads to hell, while Love leads to the abode of God (the Beloved).12. In lust, the parties involved ever remain two, while in Love, the lover (devotee) and the Beloved (Lord) become one and the same.

is it the money that is great or are we great?

It is a very surprising thing that on getting wealth, we consider ourselves to be great! If we have become great due to wealth, is it the money that is great or are we great?
Without that wealth we would be small only! This money is something that you have earned. This wealth comes to you and then goes away. If it stays with you, then you go away.
It will definitely not stay with you. Similarly he that considers himself to be great due to his knowledge, abilities, position, entitlements etc, is also making a grave mistake.
In reality you yourself are so great, that it is from you that these thing have got their significance. It is because of you that the money has attained significance, it is because of you that the food has got meaning, it is because of you that clothes have a purpose. All the things in the world have attained significance because of you. But you on the other hand, think you are great because of all that you have – this is a mistake. To consider yourself great or superior because of all the things that you have acquired is a big mistake. If this mistake is wiped out, then equanimity will come automatically; because we are naturally and innately established in equanimity; It is not resulting from effort or skill. We are to perform actions only to get rid of the attachment to actions, not for the purpose of gaining anything.

Man alone is responsible for his own spiritual rise or downfall

A man must raise himself by his own effort. He must not degrade himself; for the Self is his own friend and the Self is also his own enemy.

"The point is that man alone is responsible for his own spiritual rise or downfall. No one else is. God has bestowed this human body, and with it, he has given all the necessary tools to attain salvation. Therefore, one does not need anyone else for one's salvation.Guru (spiritual guide), Saints and God, uplift the soul only after man himself has trust and faith in them. Only after man accepts them (Guru, Saints, God), only after man comes to them, and and only after man follows their directions. If man does not accept them, then how are they to do anything for man's salvation?

They simply cannot do anything. If you do not become a student, then what can a teacher do for you? Just like some other person can come and drop off a meal at your home, but the hunger must come from within. If there is no hunger within, than what use is there of delicious food preparations that are placed in front of you?

Guru, Saint and God are never non-existent. There have been many great Saints, Teachers, Gurus and Avatars (God's manifestations on Earth), but so far we have not attained salvation! It becomes clear from this, that we have not accepted them. Thus, in our rise or downfall, we alone are responsible. Those who believe that some one else is responsible for their rise or degradation they will never be elevated spiritually. They can never be benefited with this belief.In reality, man himself is his own Guru .Therefore discourses are for your own self. Knowing this, see faults in your own self and seek to remove them, instead of seeing faults in others.

Jai Shri Ram

Ye mat Samjhna mere Malik ,Maine Tughe Yaad Karna chod diya

In the war of love, he who loves more, looses

In the worldly struggles, he who possesses more strength is the winner, but in the war of love, he who loves more, looses. The son says to the mother, "I won't come to your lap." But the mother insists, "Come, come, O my dear child!" This affection in the mother has really emanated from God. God also is in need of His devotee.
The concern that Bhagwaan has for the world, that much the world does not have for Bhagwaan. The child is not so much concerned about his mother as the mother is about the child. The child while nursing and suckling bites the mother's breast with his teeth, but even then she does not get angry. If she becomes angry, then can the child take it? The mother is only showering her blessings and mercy upon the child. Similarly, Bhagwaan is our mother for infinite births. Bhagwaan cannot neglect the devotee.
He considers the devotee as His crest-jewel – "Mein to hu bhagatanko das, bhagat mere mukutamani" – "I am only the servant of the devotee and the devotee is my crest-jewel. "
Bhagwaan ever remains ready to do work for his devotees. Just as the child can't live without his mother and the mother can't live without the child, similarly a devotee cannot live without Bhagwaan and Bhagwaan cannot live without the devotee.

No Harm in Chanting Incorrectly If you Love God.

Jai Shri Ram

Some people could feel that they do not know the correct pronunciation, and so do not want to chant incorrectly.but there is no harm in chanting incorrectly as well with out knowing the correct meaning.
for example : mother to whom a child goes and asks for an orange. The child does not know how to pronounce the word "orange", and so asks for "ange". The mother does not turn away the child and does not refuse to give the child the orange just because the child does not know how to pronounce the word.
It is the spirit or bhava that matters, and so as long as one chants the name of God withsincerity, considerations such as not knowing the meaning, not knowing the pronunciation, etc., do not matter, and God who is the Mother of all of us will confer His blessings on us.

Trust On Gods Name Dont Test His Name

The story start from the day i planned for Rameswram trip and my mother called me up for tirupati darshan on Vaikunth Ekadasi .

I told my mother that i will try to come if possible as i am going to Rameswram and after coming back from Rameswram i have to attend a Vedio conferencing interview . so it was a bit difficult to make a plan for tirupati .

But the moment my mother keeps the call i start dreaming the most powerful Tirupati Bala ji .

so i booked the ticket for tirupati & left it on Bala ji .

The moment my mother called me for Tirupati , i started having Darshan of Lord Bala ji ...

1) Lord Bala ji coming out from Sankha ..

2) Lord Bala ji coming out of Lotous ..

3) Lord Bala ji having peakcock feather in background ..

4) Lord Bala ji like hanuman ji ..his Head is touching to Sky ..& i can only look his lotus feet ..

Frankly speaking i never had such a desire to have darshan of shri Bala ji ,but my mom is intense devotee of Shri Bala ji ..& she had a desire to have darshan of Bala ji specially on Vaikuntha Ekadasi .
So i think because of her devotion Lord Bala ji invited me for his Darshan ..i agree i am not a deserving person to have his Darshan on this auspicious day .

Now the story starts ....

my mother had some VIP pass ,we got up at 1am and went to collect ticket for darshan .my mother stood in the queue for 8 hours & his Son (me) was sleeping in the cab waiting for maa .

my beloved mother came back at 9am with the tickets and informed me that we have darshan at 2PM .

we went to temple at 11:30 am and lined up in the queue . till 5PM we were no where near to have the Darshan of Bala ji .

there were 8 or 9 big rooms which we have to cross for proceeding further but there was too much crowd .

at 7PM we were at room 5 & at 9 PM we were at rom 2 .

now ...my beloved mother was too much tired & was thinking that this year also she would not be able to have Darshan of bala ji ...& she was planning to come out from queue & go back to Guest House .

Then i dont know what happened to me ..i closed my eyes & i could see Lord Bala ji infront of me ..instead of praying Him i start scolding him ..

things which i said to him ..

1) if my mother will not have darshan today ,i will never come to tirupati .

2)i never want to come for ur darshan then why did you call me ,i.e on such a auspicious day .did u call me to see my mother sadness ?

3) what u want to prove ? i know you get happiness in testing ur devotees ..& i am ready for test but please do not test my mothers patience ..dont be so rude in giving ur darshan ..
4) i know my prayers are going in vain because crowd is not moving at all ...then i thought there is one more my beloved Hanuman ji he might help me ..& i prayed to him

5) but again i started fighting with him ...that if the Ram naam which i chant is not have this much power that my mother wish (having darshan on Vaikunt Ekadashi ..) can be completed . then there is no use for me to chant Ram naam further .

6) First time i felt so help less & i said i will leave Ram naam if my mother will go back without having darshan .

7) at a point i felt that i lost every thing in my life ..my all devotion & love for Ram ji is fake & my love to Ram ji is not true at all ..

Finally crowd start moving a bit faster & we had darshan around 11 PM ...we went through the vaikuntha Dwaara ..@11:30 PM .

I was happy after coming out from that Dwara along with my mother . but my own Guru was v unhappy with me & then it was his time to scold me ....

He Said ..

1) who are you to test Ram naam ...? you take Ram naam because of my blessings ,so i dont have right to test that .

the Name given to me is for having Trust not for testing .

2) how come i lost my faith at that moment (He is always with me ,how can i forget that..) its lack of faith ..& lack of patience .

3) Ram naam is already tested by so many devotees it has the power ,if you test it & u see things r not working in ur ways .it doesnt mean Ram naam has some problem .its a direct indication that you have a problem . ur bhakti is not proper ur devotion is lacking some where .

4) who am i to stop chanting Ram naam ?its Hanuman ji wish thats why i can recite Ram naam .

i am no one to start & stop it ...

i got a v good lesson from this ..i wrote it so that i keep remind myself that my Ram naam is given by Hanuman ji & he is always with me ...

Just want to highlight its my mother intense devotion for Lord Bala ji because of that i had darshan & learn this lesson..

Jai Shri Ram

Hey Naath! Hey Naath

Jai Shri Ram


The easiet way to God Realization is calling out to Him "Hey Naath! Hey Naath!" "Oh Father! Oh Father!"
Mantras and onservances (anushthaan) do not have as much strength as Prayers - therefore call out "Hey Naath! He Naath!"
Call out "Hey Naath! Hey Naath!" All illnesses, troubles, doubts will be wiped out. It is the miracle arrow (raambaan) the elixer for all diseases.
Straight and simple way to salvation is when from within and with intense longing one calls out "Hey Naath! Hey Naath!" It is more powerful than "name recitation" (naam japa) or other spiritual practices (saadhan).
"Hey Mere Naath" calling out to Him from the heart can make God Himself melt. Such calling quickly reaches and moves Bhagwaan.
If you want to be saved from Kaliyug, then at all time continue to call out to Him - "Hey Mere Naath! Hey Mere Prabho"
There is no need to make someone a Guru, there is no need to read the scriptures, there is no need to go anywhere. Simple call out "Hey Naath! Hey Naath!" then the work will be completed.
If you cannot figure out something then call out "Hey Naath! Hey Mere Naath!"
Day and Night keep calling – sins of infinite births will burn to ashes.
Feeling of helplessness (nirbaltaah) and faith in the grace of Bhagwaan, if these two points are there then call out "Hey Naath! Hey Naath!" By doing so, evils such as passion and anger will surely be wiped out.
Attachment to the world will have to be given up at some time. If it is not leaving you, then call out "Hey Naath! Hey Naath!"
By calling out "Hey Naath! Hey Naath!" all work will be completed. Egoism will be wiped out like drops of water that may splatter in boiling milk.
Call out - "Hey Mere Naath! Hey Mere Naath!" then all work will happen instantly. That work which does not happen for years, will happen suddenly. Simply remain engaged in calling out to Him.
By saying "Hey Naath! Hey Naath!" fall at the lotus feet of Bhagwaan and become free of all worries. Then with Bhagwaan's grace, all will be alright.

Jai Shri Ram
