THE PRINCIPLE OF TRUTH IN REALITY - Sayings from
Sri BrahmaChaitanya Maharaj, Gondavalekar, Satara Dist., Maharashtra.
The God who lives in the heart of mankind is like a Knowledge source. When he forgets about God, he shall be losing his peace of mind. Then on, he develops ignorance from within himself because of which he looks out for the outer world in search for it. Due to this, an illusion gets created in his mind that “I am lacking something or I am having something less compared to others, due to which he is never satisfied. What I am lacking in is something which I can get it in the outer world. If I get all those things which I desire for, I can definitely achieve satisfaction. I can fill my emptiness in making the things and persons I see of the outer world as mine. I only shall be putting in efforts in order to make it happen. I can satisfy my senses once I get everything of my wish and start enjoying them”.
This illusion is quite opposite to that of the realistic nature. Materialistic living is a perception where in all the people and things look incomplete. Even after getting things of his desire, the happiness doesn't last long nor does it prevail to continue. After a while, he feels himself being incomplete again. It can be understood that, the materialistic things whatever one gets in how-much-ever amount, complete satisfaction cannot be attained. Apart from this, his mind shall be bound and controlled under environmental circumstances. Hence only, he cannot even whole-heartedly enjoy the things that he already possess to the fullest. The ignorance grown upon on a person has more than a minimum effect on him in continuing his thirst in direction of the materialistic lifestyle despite being conscious of its temporary existence. Forgetting God only makes the person believe the outer world as more truthful than the existence of God himself. So, the stronger the belief on outer world than God makes stronger his mind to sustain it and makes him conscious of the world he sees and lives in. This makes his mind diverted in the direction of materialistic things, people and situations around him. Since, the materialistic world itself is likely to continue in a state of never being satisfied, so is he even more likely to get disturbed and diverted.
Saints feel pity on on the man when they see the way how he gets cheated in life. They tell from their experience that, satisfaction lies within i.e from within the heart where God resides. Without being able to see or experience him from within, satisfaction cannot be achieved. In order to find him, one should look inside and not anywhere outside. To feel his presence within us, there is no better way than being connected to God. HIS continuous remembrance is the only way to experience being connected to God. In HIS remembrance, the power of mind can focus towards his inner conscience. Hence it becomes more and more concentrated and through this energy he reaches God inside his heart. Whatever satisfaction that was once lost because of forgetting God can be achieved back with HIS remembrance again. The mind has the ability to keep in memory of things and people. The amount of time such things and people remain in memory depends on their values which they have brought into his life. He gives more importance to the things which and the people whom he feel have more value in his life. The values are nothing but the fragrance of satisfaction derived from such things and people.
It is being said that, every life on earth is a part of God. To feel and experience the sastifaction in presence of God shall be the basic right of every man. To make this happen, it is necessary that a man gives his utmost value to God. When he feels God as being valued at his highest precedene over others, HIS remembrance shall happen quite naturally. This is achieved when HIS remembrance becomes continuous and constant. The result of this can be seen as "being connected to God" both in his inner and outer worlds. This is addressed as "Bhagavad-Anusandhana". There is only secret for achieving all these, which is "remembrance of God in all states of existance and every aspect of life", called as "Namasmarana".
