HI KRISHNA, MY TRUE FRIEND, I HAVE FAITH IN YOU!

HI KRISHNA, MY TRUE FRIEND, I HAVE FAITH IN YOU!

J.K. SIVAN

How is it that the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening with utmost regularity everyday?

How is it that the stars glitter beautifully in the sky at night and hide themselves during the day?

How is it that the wind blows incessantly and sustains the living beings without taking rest even for a moment?

How is it that the rivers make gurgling sounds as they flow perennially? The whole world, nay, even every individual is permeated by the Pancha Bhutas (five elements of earth, water, fire air and ether)

What is Prapancha (world)?

‘Pra’ means vast, ‘Pancham’ means ''five''-- the world is permeated by the five elements. Therefore, Prapancha means the vast space, permeated by the five elements. Wherever you see, you will find the effulgence of the five elements enveloping the vast world.

God is the source and sustenance for all creation. one cannot find a place or time without air; we cannot see air but can experience it. Every act in this world, the tiniest one, is happening as per the Divine Will. In God’s creation, there is no sorrow. Sorrows and difficulties are our own making. Whether you are in sorrow or enjoying happiness, always think that everything is for your own good. Faith is like the two eyes to a man.

We believe what we read in newspapers, but, are unable to believe an experience born out of eternal truth and its practice in daily life. There is fire latent in the branches of a tree, which becomes patent when one branch rubs against the other and friction is generated.

Can anyone deny the existence of fire in the branches of a tree? Just as the fire born out of the branches of a tree destroys the tree itself, so also the ego born out of a human being destroys the very human being.

Sun is the direct manifestation of God, giving us light and sustains our life. The sun-god bestows his love on all in the form of light. If you do not have faith in the light of love, your life will be filled with darkness.

Our body can be compared to a vessel and the Vasanas (inborn tendencies) to water. If your thoughts and feelings are good, you can see the reflection of Divinity clearly. When your thoughts are impure and bad, you will not be able to see the reflection of Divinity. Muddy water cannot reflect your image. It is from the Self that the body and the mind have originated.

Do you know what Navratri celebrations mean? - These nine nights represent nine planets. Each planet has its own significance. However, these planets are not outside, they are within. If your feelings are impure and unsacred, the result also will be the same. You are responsible for the good and bad you think and experience. They are not the products of outside world. They are the reaction, reflection and resound of your inner being.

You are the Ekatma Swarupas (embodiments of one principle of Atma). You have only one heart and only one Atma. Develop the feeling of oneness. If you follow the path of truth, you will find the manifestation of truth everywhere.

There is only one principle of love in you. Have firm conviction that you are the embodiment of Atma and there is no second entity in this world.

Believe in yourself. Have firm conviction that God is everywhere.

''Sarvatah Panipadam Tat Sarvathokshi Siromukham, Sarvatah Sruthimalloke Sarvamavruthya Tishthati (with hands, feet, eyes, head, mouth and ears pervading everything, He permeates the entire universe.

Love is in you. Whomever you love, you love your own reflection . God alone is your true friend. He will never betray you . He will never doubt you or forsake you. Your feelings may change according to time and situation, but God is changeless. He always has the feeling of oneness. Once you consider God as your true friend, everyone will be friendly towards you. There is none other than you in this world. When there is no second person, how can there be an enemy? Can you be your own enemy?

Have faith in God who is pure and selfless. If you want to know God, imbibe the principle of oneness. When you have the feeling of oneness, you can see the direct manifestation of God. There is only one permanent friend; He is God. If you want to experience true love, have full faith in God. God’s love is steady. It never diminishes. You may undergo any amount of suffering, yet you belong to God. You are His and He is yours. No third person can come between you and God. You have to look after yourself. You should have faith in yourself. Only then can you realise the truth..”

God alone is your true friend. Develop such firm conviction. Then God will always take care of you. When you cultivate Ekatma Bhava, all divine qualities will manifest in you. Have total faith in HIM. Develop faith day by day. Only then can you be called a true Manava (human being).

''Daivam Manusha Rupena'' (God appears in the form of a human beings). Hence, consider yourself as divine. Declare with full faith “I am I.” When you lead your life with such a sacred feeling, divinity will certainly manifest in you. He is always in you. Your reflection is God’s reflection. Your reaction is His reaction. Everything is basically divine in nature. It is God who makes you play your role in this cosmic drama. It is He who makes you sing, dance, etc. He is the cosmic play director. You may call Him by any name. But He is only one.

If you want to attain God, develop Ekatma Bhava. You will certainly be able to see and experience Him EVERYWHERE......
