"Meri kuttiya de bhaag aaj jaag jange, Ram aange" - The fate of my cottage will be awake today, Rama shall come.... "Jai ho, Ram aange" - Hail! Rama shall come... "Sita Ram aange" - Sita Rama shall come..... "Meri kuttiya de bhaag aaj jange, Ram aange" - The fate of my cottage will be awake today, Rama shall come..... "Main garib nu Ram ne bula leya, bula leya" - Poor me! convened by Rama, called upon..... "Apne charna de naal laga leya" - Placed me near his lotus feet "Mere hriday de sheeshe vich vas jaange, Ram aange" - Would settle in the mirror of my heart, Rama shall come... "Meri kuttiya de bhaag aaj jaag jaange, Ram aange" - The fate of my cottage will be awake today, Rama shall come.... "Jai ho! Ram aange" - Hail! Rama shall come.... "Sita Ram aange" - Sita Rama shall come.... "Mere sutte hoye bhag aaj jaag jaange, Ram aange" - My fate will be awake today, Rama shall come.... "Meri kuttiya de bhaag aaj jaag jaange, Ram aange" - The fate of my cottage will be awake today, Rama shall come.... "Jai ho, Ram aange" - Hail! Rama shall come... "Sita Ram aange" - Sita Rama shall come.... "Meri Shradhha nu dekh Ram bhog laange, Ram aange" - Looking at my reverence, Rama will eat my offerings. Rama shall come.... "Meri kuttiya de bhaag aaj jaag jaange, Ram aange" - The fate of my cottage will be awake today, Rama shall come.... The one who has this much of reverence, emotion, longing and devotion filled in his heart, can be called a disciple. This is called being a true follower. Detached... Why detached? That is because when got deeply connected to the master, where is the space left for attachments? Only one can ascend on one throne. So, when the love for Master ascended on the throne of heart, where would the attachment ascend? Attachment is gone. Where? No space left in heart. Completely stuffed and packed. What? Love for the Master. One who is so much filled with love, mind is calm. Nights are not restless. Lives in this world, but has no affair with it. This is called being a disciple. Love doesn't fade away while discharging whatever duties and responsibilities one has. Duties and responsibilities are at their own place but heart is immersed in love. Doesn't remember. Someone asked, "Do you remember your Master?" He replied, "No." Because you remember the one you forget. I don't recall because I don't forget. The one who forgets, is not a disciple. But to be a disciple, maybe prayer is the only way out. This desire should awaken in the mind that we become a disciple. We should become a disciple. After the arrival of disciplehood, rest other things starts coming on their own. "Bandhe prem ka aisa bandhan choote jag ke naate re" - Master ties such a tight knot of love that all other bondages set free. Haven't broken, abandoned. There is a huge difference in between abandoning and something left out. You would leave and then catch it again. And the one that gets left, is not even noticed. Because the thing that is not important, only that gets abandoned. When does important thing gets abandoned? So understand the qualities of a disciple and that discipleship come in your life, you should pray and strive for. This is called to be a disciple and I have to be. Because this is good to be. This is good. Now, who had taught Eklavya the way to be in love with the Master? That Master, who had taught him nothing. Who gave training to Eklavya? One, Shabri in Ramayana and other one Eklavya in Mahabharata, When I see the devotion for Master of these two, then everyone else seems faded. All seem faded. Every great man and every character in their own place carry a beauty, No doubt. But who taught Eklavya that he should do like this. Where did he get this knowledge from, that he crafted a statue of Master himself and learnt the art of archery in front of the statue on his own. While learning and practicing, he learnt those techniques which Dronacharya himself didn't know. Such should be the disciple. Don't have to say and explain. To be such a disciple, the real thing is that the effort of the Guru will also be reduced. But what if the disciple is not like this? Keep trying on and on and on, then I was told by Worshiped, Revered, Supreme Yogi, Supreme Knowledgeable Swami Shri Prakashanand Ji He said, there are sheeps and goats in front of you but can you enlighten them? I said, "No Sovereign, I can't do that." He said then, "That's it!" There would be some sheeps and goats in the form of human beings that you will meet but you can't do anything for them. Can't do anything. Knowledge can be given only to human beings. Which of the human beings, those who are disciples. What knowledge can be given to those who are not disciples? What is the use of giving knowledge to the one, who doesn't have the desire of knowledge? No benefit. One who is not a seeker, one who is not inquisitive, who does not have love, is not a disciple. Guru cannot do anything for the one who is not a disciple. Then it's just like that, fate will bring him in the contiguity of a Master. However, when fate would take a turn, he would also shove off. Play goes on. This too is the game of planetary position. Such conditions crop up that world doesn't seem pleasant and one wishes to stay in the presence of Master. Master too allows. Conditions changed in the six years, such condition comes, in which the aspirations arise again in the mind. So, he would say no, I don't feel like staying and I just have to leave. One, who was from Haryana, told me...... both brother and sister came and stayed here for sometime. Then, the sister was not keeping well and returned back. Afterwards, brother said that he has to make arrangements for the wedding of the sister and will have to go back. I said, "Sure." He said, "I would return soon after the marriage." I said, "No problem." Marriage got over, yet he is there. Later, I got to know that he opened a small tea shop roadside. He's sells tea and make money. Sister got married but maybe she got separated and returned back home. Now, the responsibility of the sister is on his shoulders. So now, he sells tea and looks after his sister. On the one hand, he had abandoned everything and came here, whereas on the other hand he has now gone back. There are good people but destiny doesn't support. If destiny is formed, then only a Master comes in life, it's true. But then it is also worth introspecting that what did you do after meeting the Master? Room was alloted, got the bed and the cooked food was served, Aha! Stayed inebriated. Not even the dog at home ever inquired about you. Everyone asks here with folded hands and you feel excited, Did you come here to get served? Came here to sleep? what did you come for? Some are fortunate. See! you may get the opportunity in life to stay in the contiguity of Master. It happens, many get such opportunity. You may also get it. When such favorable condition shall arise, such circumstances would occur. Would wish in... When such wish arises and you get the opportunity, then make the best of it. Then whatever time you get to stay, two months, four months, six months or an year or two, stay there. Make the best of it. Getting a chance to live in 'Tapobhoomi' but not doing penance, is not a good thing. Gets an opportunity to be with an Enlightened Master yet if the disciple remains ignorant, isn't a good thing. Guru is a yogi, but follower doesn't even understand the 'Y' of yoga, isn't a good thing. Set a target for yourself, this is what I have to do. Whatever weaknesses you experience, correct those shortcomings. Love! Now see, there is no mantra that I can tell you that after reciting it you will experience love. There is no 'Yantra' that I give you to keep with you so that you feel love. It's just a blessing. I just say that.... Like, even a dog sweeps with its tail before sitting at a place. Doesn't sit at an untidy place. It sweeps with it's tail before sitting. Love is the incarnation of God. May this incarnation dawns in your heart, first create some pious place in your heart. where should he personify? Where? Create space. Shabri created the space, 'I have brought the selected ber' 'Lord Ram shall come searching through the forests' Hmm! He shall come. Some of my selected berries would be sweet and some would be sour, but he will eat all because he wouldn't be noticing berries rather he would be noticing my emotions. So be good, be great, be in love! and it's a beautiful feeling. It's a beautiful feeling. There can be no other thing beautiful than this. If love comes then everything else will come automatically. It this didn't come then everything else is useless. Second thing is that, whatever is required for the love to come, that has to be inculcated. So, be wise in thinking. Be wise in your actions. Even before thinking anything, beware! Think ten times before doing anything. Wish for the best. Not 'Preya', Think about the everlasting joy (Shreya) not the fleeting pleasures (Preya). Perform exalted actions, not in lethargy.
