Total surrender to God
Total Surrender of God
It is not always devotee, who surrender to God, But God too surrender to devotee. This is most beautiful relation between devotee and his lord. Whether It is Bhakat Prahlad, Dharuv, Dhanna, Meera, Ravidas, Namdev………………..there is long list. God never let his devotee lose his identity if devotee surrender completely in lotus feet of Lord. But, Merge his identity into identity of his beloved devotee. Sai Baba too says he can even give his head for those who love him more than their lives. Just to maintain Law of Karma, He himself bear the effect of Bad Deeds of his beloved devotee in process of purification of divine soul to merge into his holy feet. Some might call it as Leela of lord. But, This pure and divine relation cannot be understood with worldly wisdom.
As Per Shridmad Bhagavatam:
aham bhakta-paradhino
hy asvatantra iva dvija sadhubhir grasta-hrdayo
bhaktair bhakta-jana-priyah
Lord Says, “I am completely under the control of My devotees. Indeed, I am not at all independent. Because My devotees are completely devoid of material desires, I sit only within the cores of their hearts. What to speak of My devotee, even those who are devotees of My devotee are very dear to Me.”
Even Mahavishnu said to Durvaasa when Durvaasa approached Lord to protect him from Sudarshana Chakra which appeared to protect King (Great Devotee) Ambareesha “this is beyond my power too. I can bear with any wrong done to me. But the wrong done to my devotees is un- pardonable. I am under the control of my devotees. It is my duty to rush to their help when they call me. Now there is nothing that I can do. Listen to me, Durvaasa," He continued, "Strength comes from penance and knowledge.It should be used for doing well to others. If it is misused either for satisfying one's ego or for harming others, the harm will turn back on the user him. Now you go to Ambareesha and seek protection. Only he can save you."
All is Sai! Sai is All!
om sri sai ram!
O imaginable (devoted soul)!
Read this poem assuming Me as the actor in the role of God
When I am acting in a role, I cannot speak as actor
In such case, the rules of the stage get violated as you know
Hence, I am forced to speak the dialogue of the role only
My weakness is that I identify Myself in the role deeply.
I do not know whether I am the original God, the actor,
Acting in the role of the human being as incarnation
Or whether I am the original human being, the actor,
Acting in the role of God, take “As you like it”.
It is up to you to take Me as God in the human role
Or you may take Me as human being in the role of God
I am speaking the following six poems as God only
In first case actor speaks, In second the role speaks.
“This entire creation has only a single aim, no other aim
That single aim is to entertain Me for my pleasure always
You are an iota of this infinite universe, then can there be
A separate aim for your existence and life? Realize this.
You have forgotten Me completely and the real aim also
Some of your brothers say that I do not exist at all!
Some accept Me but not in this present human form
They accept Me in energetic body or statue representation.
You are surrounded by some souls interacting with you
Such interactions developed bonds with different intensities
Like family, parents, relatives, caste, religion, Nationality etc.
But remember that all these are souls only like yourself.
When you cannot uplift your self, it is proved that
A soul cannot uplift any other soul from this world
Then, why this blind love on the souls or other items
Existing in this creation? The end is endless misery only.
Of course, I cannot also uplift you in anyway if I am
A human being only acting in the imposed role of God
But I can certainly uplift and protect you always
Here and there if I am God in the role of human being.
Therefore, you cannot generalize that all the souls
Are inefficient to protect the soul, there is exception
God coming in the form of a soul into this world
Protects all the souls if you surrender with full faith”.
With these six poems, the divine message of God ends,
But I want to put before you the mental struggle I have
It is a constant debate of My thoughts about Myself only
You are My closest, hence I reveal My heart openly.
Whenever I speak like God, I fear about the new audience
They may not digest and may also drag My closest devotees
Who can digest My statement “I am really the God
Who came down in this human form, surrender to Me only”.
I like to speak that I am God, even though I am sure that
I am not God and that I am an ordinary human being only.
I get immense pleasure when some innocents are trapped
And praise Me “You are God and we surrender to you”.
Like this Krishna told Arjuna only and not any one
I think that Arjuna was trapped terribly by Krishna
The mind of Arjuna was very weak with extreme sorrow
You know, a weak mind can be easily and strongly trapped.
Gopikas were trapped by Krishna in unimaginable manner
So that they never became normal, always were mad
Perhaps the miracles shown by Krishna trapped them
But I wonder how they never tried to exploit super power.
Whenever miracles are exhibited, they indicate super power
Krishna is the oil well and super power is the oil
The scientists are always in search of the power to tap
The devotes also search for tapping the super power.
The power is useful in several industrial applications
The super power is useful in several selfish problems
Gopikas never tried in this line, does it not mean that
They never identified Krishna through these miracles?
Krishna never gave the divine knowledge to them
Then how they identified Him and became so mad?
Hanuman also identified Rama in the similar way
I think Gopikas and Hanuman were liberated souls.
Therefore, for a liberated soul who accompanied God
To participate in His divine mission in this world
There is no need of any proof like knowledge or miracle
They can never forget God in any atmosphere.
Jesus told that the devotees who believe Him
Without any proof are really blessed souls.
But in that case proof means the miracle only
Since the doubting Thomas heard His knowledge.
This means that the liberated souls are also divided
In to various levels, topers need no proof at all.
The sages recognized Krishna as the Lord through
The Gita only, since they also possess super powers.
Gopikas and Hanuman required neither the knowledge
Nor miracles as proof for the Lord in human form
Hanuman has both the knowledge and super powers.
Gopikas were also having both since they were sages.
Hence the Lord neither showed miracles nor preached
Hanuman or Gopikas, they are the real gold medalists!
Arjuna required both knowledge and miracles to believe
He heard Gita and also desired for Viswarupa-Vision.
Udanka was a sage and not convinced with Krishna
When Krishna explained him, he required the miracle
To believe Krishna as Lord through the Viswarupa-Vision
This means that even a top devotee may fall down.
Sage Vyasa was thinking himself as the incarnation
In fact, he was Kalavatara having the grace of God
He has some super powers as any other sage
He confirmed Krishna as God through the Gita only.
All these are either liberated souls or devoted souls
Liberated soul is already blessed with the highest fruit.
The devoted soul who believed the Lord somehow
Is also going to be blessed through self less service.
Draupadi believed the Lord when His super power helped her
In a serious problem when her sari was dragged out
She believed only after using super power in problem
At the end she lost all her children getting useless kingdom.
Dhrutarashtra believed the Lord through the vision
But never did practically any thing of His request
Krishna requested just for five villages from him
He did not listen due to the blind love on his son.
Duryodhana received the knowledge and also vision
But every thing was a waste like the scent poured in ash
Truth should be revealed in various degrees to people
Who are in various levels corresponding to the truth.
I am very sure that you believe Me as God only
Your belief is that I am the God acting in the human role
I do not have any doubt about the faith you have in Me
But I doubt about Myself being really the God.
Therefore, there is risk in your belief about Me as God
You might have been mislead in this particular aspect
You know some times people who are excellent in all
May be mislead in some negligible and simple aspect.
Newton was a very great scientist with hectic logic
He made big hole for big cat and small hole for small cat
The small cat went through both the holes to drink milk
See how such a scientist did not have simple common sense!
People have praised this divine knowledge coming out
From My mouth and then I started analyzing the truth
I also felt that this divine knowledge is wonderful
I started doubting whether God entered My body.
For a short period of two years, some miracles also
Came out from Me spontaneously and very frequently
But I never attached any significance to miracles only
Since demons also do miracles blessed by God.
Actually miracles are also the super powers of God only
But God gives His super powers to devotees also
Hence we should not depend on miracles only
To identify God since they are found else where also.
Miracles are like the jewels of the king which can be
Donated to anyone he likes, therefore the jewels
Cannot necessarily indicate the king since they are found
With other people also who were favored by the king.
Of course, there is one ornament that lies with king only
That is the power of creation etc. of this infinite universe.
Therefore, Arjuna asked for such crown only as the test
To see and decide whether Krishna is the king or not.
Krishna expressed the Viswarupam to the divine eyes
Because the normal eyes cannot tolerate that vision.
Here also the creation of world cannot be actually done
In which case all the souls disappear before creation.
Only the vision is possible for this single miracle
If the vision is thought as an illusion only
Every thing has gone, no other way for this miracle
Since world including you has to disappear
Before the creation of it, you cannot grasp this.
Even such cosmic vision came out from Me on one day
Which happened to be the Guru Purnima, on that day
I spoke the message and stood suddenly for a few minutes
The cosmic vision was seen by two devotees simultaneously.
I do not know whether that was a real vision given by Me
Or whether it was an illusion of those two devotees
Anyway even if the vision was true, it must be illusion only
Since this miracle cannot be performed in true sense.
But still I wonder how I asked only those two devotees
To explain the common vision they have received then
How could I ask only those two in the crowd of devotees?
Yes, that was really a miracle of God hiding in Me!
But the divine knowledge could not be ruled out
Even by Me because I my self read it later on
Veda says that the special divine knowledge alone
Can be the real and main sign of human incarnation.
There is a valid reason for the validity of such sign
It should be the main sign of God in human form
The reason is that the main aim of God to come down
Is only to guide devotees in the correct spiritual path.
Guidance means only the delivery of true knowledge
Hence the true knowledge can only be the main sign
Gita, Bible, Q’ran etc., are the main signs of God
Who came as Krishna, Jesus, Mohammad etc.
The quality of this divine knowledge that flows always
Like the sweet fragrance that comes out from Me some times
Indicates the existence of God in Me, hence I must be
The human incarnation, this means God in human body.
But the Rajas and Tamas come out from Me in climax
These two bad qualities may be My inherent characteristics
Therefore, in such case I must be the worst person
Posing as God, cheating people in fond of praise.
Again I doubt whether these two are exhibited by Me
By the will of Lord Datta present in Me to test devotees
He is the possessor of the three qualities indicating
The three heads of the three basic divine forms.
He created the three qualities, Sattvam, standing for Vishnu
Rajas stands for Brahma and Tamas stands for Shiva
He plays with the three qualities always in this world
Rajas and Tamas drive away the undeserving devotees.
Thus, I am always confused to conclude whether the God
Hiding in Me exhibits Rajas and Tamas or whether
Both these are My own inherent qualities which are
Misinterpreted by Me like this to cover My defects.
I am telling about My constant inner struggle to you
So that you will analyze Me impartially without bias
The only good quality that I possessed is that
I am homogeneous in My mind, speech and action.
When some devotees expressed their unimaginable love
I conducted serious tests with horrible Rajas and Tamas
Several ran away but a few stood with all firmness
Their faith in Me is like the mighty Himalayan mountain.
If all had run away, My problem would have been solved
There is no need of this confusion since no body remains.
Now My position is very critical, suppose I am not God
What shall be the fate of these innocent firm devotees?
Will Lord Yama punish Me severely charging Me
That I have cheated the devotees? I shiver always
Therefore, I am constantly warning these few devotees
That there is risk in their belief as I may not be God.
I will plead before Lord Yama like this “My Lord! hear Me
With all patience since My case is very critical and delicate
I was confused since the points on both sides are strong
But still I warned them always about the possibility of risk”.
I am therefore, informing you both about the entire truth
I am unable to hide any trace of truth before you both
I am seeing your most purest love on Me like this
I am unable to cheat you as I have cheated here.
I am neither telling “yes” nor “No” to your firm belief
Because I have both reasons equally standing strong
I may be or I may not be, I am like the electron
With dualistic nature of particle as well as wave.
I may be God in the human form like that Krishna
I may be the beloved son of God like that Jesus
I may be the messenger of God like that Mohammed
But this divine knowledge is of God only, I am sure.
How does it matter whether I am God or His beloved son
Or His messenger? It is not the point of the hour
If you propagate this true knowledge, God is pleased
Therefore, I cannot stand between your self and God.
But again the main point of this divine knowledge is clear that
You have to find out the present alive human incarnation
Once again the confusion is blown up because I may be
That present alive human incarnation based on Vedic sign.
The only strong point that is standing against My rejection is
The best quality of this divine knowledge which is complete
But some how I am not gaining the confidence to be God
When I think like that, My body shivers and tongue dries.
Again I do not know whether I am speaking like this
To test your faith in Me if I happened to be Datta
This brings another new confusion in the old confusion
Please analyze Me, I may be biased to do the analysis.
Even if no body calls him God, the Advaita Philosopher
Shouts always claiming that he is God without doubt.
Even though some people called Me as God, still I fear
Because I know the value and sanctity of the Lord.
However, this problem can be solved in one way if you try
To find out whether any body is giving better knowledge
In such case, such person will be the present incarnation
But see that there is no risk in Him as seen in Me.
I was not blown up when the devotees called Me as Datta
I know the cycle tube bursts like bomb on more pumping
I was very careful about the egoism-air pumped into Me
But My doubt started only when I saw this wonderful knowledge.
Since I helped you by passing on this divine knowledge
So that you will be able to travel in the correct path.
We shall help each other mutually for spiritual welfare
Therefore, help Me by showing Me the present human God.
If by your fortune, I happen to be really the absolute God
Even Adisesha cannot describe your unimaginable fortune
With thousand tongues, because I love all of you so much
That I shall create sixteenth world for you above Goloka.
