Sri Brahma chaitanya Maharaj's Pravachan - OCTOBER 30
Faith in Rama Rewards us with True Contentment
Attend carefully to
wordly duties/ banking inwardly on Rama's support. A bad thought is equivalent to the company of the vile.
Obstacles and difficulties will flee away if
you adhere whole-heartedly to Rama. Take care to preserve nama in
your heart despite worldly conditions, pleasant or otherwise.Keeping the heart
at peace, let the body face its trials and tribulations.
Have firm faith in Rama, everything will ultimately be to the good. Believe in earnest that Rama will stand by
you. To obey the sadgum implicitly
is the best of all sadhanas. Implicit trust in the word of the sadguru
imparts dauntlessness.
Human life has a brief duration; see that it
does not go to waste. He is blessed by Rama
who holds nama dear to his heart. He who chants nama and bears
Rama ever in his heart, can be sure of attaining the Supreme Reality. Destiny will run its pre-charted course, while the
mind unnecessarily suffers pleasure or pain. Resolve that you will not
let the course of events in your prapancha
affect the equilibrium of your
mind; this will assuredly make you happy in life. Dejection arises
because one forgets sadhana. Attachment to carnal pleasures
automatically drops off if you have devotion for Rama.
Place full trust in God, and whatever He does,
believe it to be in your ultimate interest. Also, remember the Lord's promise
that whoever recalls His name at his last
breath shall be united with Him.
The saints all aver that
the only means to get free of all feeling of misery is to give up all attachment. So, do
your duty by all means, but with a mind free
from all egoism. Think always of Rama, never about yourself. Circumstances
never remain steady so never feel sorry, only be always aware of Rama. Hold your tongue, fill your heart with love for Rama,
always be aware of His abiding
presence: this is sadhana,
He who keeps implicit faith in Rarna may rest
assured of perfect contentment. Let this
faith guide your steps in all your worldly activities.To belive that
Rama alone is your true support, is all the sadhana you need to do. Keep your conduct morally unimpeachable, and
purify your mind. Keep your mouth occupied with chanting nama. God
will assuredly grant His grace to one who
follows his God, his sadguru and sadhana single-mindedly.
