Meaning:

A Guru is like a potter (earthman) and a disciple is like a pot. A potter hits the pot from outside and provides every support from within.

 

We work day and night to achieve something. We feel that happiness is in achieving challenging things. But this achievement has its own limitation.  Beyond a point there is no room for improvement. E.g. a student aims of scoring good marks; the highest he can achieve is 100%. A bowler dream of performing well, the maximum he can achieve is ten wickets in a match. If you imagine of becoming rich the extent to which you can go is win the whole earth. But the question still remains unanswered what next after so much of conquest?

 

 The only answer to our void space is spirituality. The endless happiness exists but the one who makes us enjoy it is Sathguru.  We as a human being are full of drawbacks. The funniest part is we dont even realize it. When a Guru takes a disciple under His shade He slowly removes the dirt and unwanted things, which have been stacking, in his soul for many janma (birth).

 

The disciple may perceive the process of removal painful because the Sathguru constantly scolds him for small things and may not praise for the good deeds of the disciple. A Sathguru does not desire to behave rudely with the disciple but is compelled to do so for the benefit of disciple. A cut diamond is more valuable. A carved stone is appreciated. So a disciple who acts as per wish of Guru emerges to be refined person.

 

We need a knowledge that whatever Guru does is for our growth. We cant judge the acts of Guru because those are related to Atma (soul). We have to be like the clay in hands of potter called Guru, stay unmoved and we would be surprised to know what shape He can give us. The job of cleansing the disciple is not simple one. There is no need for a Sathguru to remain amidst samsaris (worldly people) and uplift us. But still he does it because of infinite grace, which He has on us.

 

As Kabir Das rightly says the potter hits the pot from outside but provides support inside. On same grounds a Gurus behavior may seem cruel but it is to fortify his disciples and to make them competent enough to enjoy the Grace of Bagawan Krishna.

ACHYUTHA PRIYAA

' short stories to regain your faith '

 

 

Radhekrishna! Self-pity is what everyone tries to create. Ask them about their job they would say salary is low, boss is cruel, commuting is difficult, work pressure is enormous and curse Bagawan for all this. Little do they think that Bagawan has given them a wonderful job and enough pay to sustain themselves? There are millions without a source of living and die out of starvation.

 

Take another example ask a student about his studies or exam he will start complaining about his teachers, tough syllabus, less time to study, difficult exams etc. Even they fail to think that there are so many who are denied access to even basic education. The same is found in case of a housewife who grumbles about her husband, in-laws.

 

We never think of beautiful boons of Bagawan. We seem to take everything for granted. The problem with us is we dont value things we have and always find fault in them. This happens because we are internally unsatisfied, unhappy so we start blaming the external things. The moment we are happy we forget all faults.

 

On same lines once you are in love with Bagawan Krishna each and every moment will be packed with happiness and in that state of mind you stop complaining about things around you and start cherishing the beautiful gift of Bagawan called life. Continuous chanting of Bagawans Naama is sure to make us come close to Him.

 

In this issue of Achyutha Priyaa we will see a great, humble devotee called Kuravanambi with an amazing Bhakthi (devotion). In a village near Thirupati (The abode of Lord Balaji) there used to live a potter. He led a simple life with minimum material things but his spiritual life was enriched with love for Lord Balaji. He was immensely attracted to Lord Balaji. He was not in a position to daily climb the Thirupati mountain and take Darshan of Lord Balaji. Instead he used to pray from his own place.

 

Daily he used to get up do his chores, pray to Lord Balaji and start his work of pottery. He was very devoted in whatever he did. He made pots with all his sincerity. While making pots he used to sing praise of Bagawan and His Naama. This is what kept him happy. After each pot was made he used to thank Lord Balaji and say, You have been so graceful only with your help I was able to complete this pot.

 

This is the way to thank Bagawan Krishna. Whatever we do, we have to perform it for Bagawan Krishna. In our day to day lives if we see, whenever we do something for ourselves or for someone else, either we are not satisfied with our work or most of the times the result is not as it was expected ! This makes us unhappy and we are left unsatisfied. But if the same work is performed for Bagawan Krishna, we are happy and satisfied with what we had done as well as result is also fruitful.

 

The potter sold the pots he made. At the end of day with clay remaining in his hands, he used to make a flower. This clay flower he used to offer to Lord Balaji. Being pleased with his devotion Bagawan used to accept it and keep that flower on His own head.

 

Bagawan Krishna has said in Bhagwath Geetha whosoever offers me with love a leaf a flower a fruit or even water I appear in person before that selfless devotee of sinless mind and delightfully partake of that article offered by him with love. The material that is being offered is not important but the manner in which it is offered counts. The flower even though made of clay the fragrance of his devotion made the flower more beautiful.

 

This is where the difference lies. When we pray to God we say Do this for me then I will distribute Prasad or I will come to your place etc. or we say I am doing this for you so you do that for me. Our every act is backed by some expectation. To say in harsh words we trade with God. But here the potter offers the flower sans any expectation or condition. He offered the flower for sake of love and as an expression of gratefulness. So even Bagawan accepts it with all His love.

 

In the same town there was a king named Tondaimaan Chakravarthy. Even he had great love and devotion for Lord Balaji. Lord Balaji was so impressed by his devotion for sake of saving the king from a problem he made dead persons alive. The king used to daily offer golden flowers to Lord Balaji.

 

Wait till next month to see whether Lord Balaji accepts the golden flower with same grace!

HRUDAYAANJALI

' power of divine grace '

                                                      

I offer my humble namaskaarams to Guruji Amma and Guru Mahan Brahma Shri Gopalavallidasar. Radhekrishna sathsang has really brought a change in my life. No words can praise the grace of both the mahatmas. By their extraordinary grace, a lot of positive things have happened in my life. I would like to share one of the best experiences I had after joining the Sathsang.

 

After my fathers expiry, myself, my mother and sister stayed with our maternal uncle for 8 years in Mulund (a suburb in Mumbai). I did my schooling, college and a part of my professional studies under his guidance. In 2005, I cleared my CA Intermediate and graduation and got a chance to work with one of the leading multinational accounting firms. I am still working in the same organization and preparing for CA Final studies.

We decided to shift to a new house as 8 years was a long period and our uncle was very kind and generous to allow us to stay with him. But with real estate in Mumbai touching the sky, we decided that it was the right time to move out. Our uncle never wanted us to part, but we explained him the situation about the real estate and convinced him that our combined income (My mothers and mine) was sufficient to run a family.

 

Enter Guru kripai. There are people who try hard and dont find a suitable house quickly. But due to Gurujis grace, in our fourth attempt, we found a spacious house in Mulund fitting into our budget! And that too in a span of three months. Amazing!  Getting such a comfortable house at affordable rate with all internal and external facilities seemed to be a miracle to us. Truly Krishna was showering graces. Then came the most crucial issue  finance. My mothers office has a bank account with one of the nationalized banks. The arrangement for loan was made through several rounds of negotiations. Banks generally dont give a loan on stipend certificate (I am earning a stipend). But since the stipend amount was somewhat higher and on account of good personal relations with the bank, we got a loan and purchased the house. Many hassles came in the way of availing the loan. I spent restless days thinking about the loan. A situation came, where we were doubtful of obtaining the loan. But constant chanting and communication with Guruji helped us a lot. I remember I used to get frustrated whenever a new problem came, but I had the caring shadow of my Guruji to protect me and give solace.

 

I would like to describe one particular hassle in depth. Days were passing and the loan availing process was getting delayed due to registration formalities. By the time we got the house transferred in our name, the person handling personal loans and the Bank managers transfer orders came. We were terrified and lost hopes as tackling a new manager would be difficult. We would have to explain our situation to him, who knows whether he would have agreed or not. But Gurukripai didnt let us down. By His grace, both the officers (the loan manager and the bank managers) transfer date got extended by 15 days. Unbelievable! As soon as we came to know this, we rushed to the bank to get the formalities done and due to Gurukripai, everything was completed in a weeks time. The loan got sanctioned; we paid the seller and took the possession.

 

What was the first thing to be done after getting the key? Invite Guruji to the house. He was merciful to come to our house and we had a small bhajan session. Later after settling down, we even had a satsang  the first satsang in our residence. Obviously nothing can be given to Him in return for the kripai, He has showered. According to me, only Chanting and Gurudhyanam are the meager returns we can give Him.
