Meaning:
According to the lines of Yajurved 29/37, Samved 1470 and Athervaved 20/69/11 —
"We learn by being near the man who desires to see others happy like
himself, as such our darkness of ignorance gets destroyed, we earn money and
wretchedness gets destroyed. Therefore we should all be near spiritual people.
Message:
These days' spiritual persons are seen nowhere. See anyone and you find him
busy only in worshipping the body and forgetting the soul. He is constantly
involved in decorating the body, in indulging his senses and fulfilling his
desires. But what is this body? What is the difference between this live-body
and the body after death? Apparently nothing, but what is the liveliness of the
body due to? So long as there is the spark of the soul within it, the body has
a meaning. Otherwise it is a corpse. Then what remains in it? Neither knowledge
nor brightness: no feelings and
no sensation. Man is considered impure by merely touching such a dead body.
So long
as soul, a part of the Supreme Father is within this perishable body, it gives
it the halo of form and beauty, and brings knowledge and life in this ignorant
body. Only God himself manifests in the form of a spark along with all his
living powers. Because of their presence and contact only, this body is pure.
What wonderful grandeur this, of God? Wandering in the darkness of ignorance,
man is not able to understand that Ultimate Truth. Rare are the spiritual
people who understand it. Let them be few, but even then such men exist in the
present times also. Only those men are successful who try to seek help of such
spiritual persons. But those who do not make any efforts and merely sit with
folded hands; they are not able to recognize such great men even though they
may come before them.
The
satsang of such great men does the work of the philosopher stone; it brightens
the life like pure gold. It pulls out man from the darkness of ignorance and
provides the knowledge of the meaningfulness and usefulness of light of life.
With this knowledge, promising progress is made in achieving the objective of
life. The bad tendencies and bad thinking do not increase, and actually, with
mental strength and willpower, these get eradicated. Their place is filled with
good qualities, thoughts of good activities, and they become joyous and
cheerful. With the assimilation of excellence and idealism in greater and
greater degrees in this qualities, deeds and nature, man becomes more enthused
to make this world, this vast manifestation of God, more developed and more
fragrant. Then he cheerfully plans the use of all his capacity and personality
for public welfare and for the removal of the widespread ignorance, corruption
and backwardness in the society.
The
entire society becomes heavenly with the influence of satsang.
Ketoom krunvannaketave
pesho marya apayshasay
samurshaadibharajaayathaa.
(Yajurved 29/37, Rigved 1/6/3. Samved
1470 and Athervaved 20/69/11)
