Infirmity means weakness. A man is
unable to enjoy his natural basic rights on account of his physical, mental,
social, intellectual and spiritual infirmities. Delicious dishes, beautiful
damsels, sweet music, beautiful scenery have absolutely no meaning for a
diseased person. He cannot enjoy money and wealth. How can one enjoy the joys
of studying literature, poetry, philosophy etc. if he is intellectually
bankrupt? Love, devotion, company of righteous persons and spiritual bliss can
hardly be enjoyed by a person who is spiritually bankrupt. Nature's law of
survival of the fittest works in eliminating the weak. The weak are always
harassed and eliminated. Even positive, factors become quite unfavorable to
such a man. W inter season which adds to the strength and vigor of strong
persons and to the pleasures of an humorist becomes the cause for catching
pneumonia causes of catching pneumonia, gout, rheumatism to a person of weak
constitution. Factors which are debilitating for the weak prove invigorating
for the strong. Even mighty emperors feel proud in adopting the figure of a
roaring lion as the state emblem of their kingdom while the weak bleating goat
is killed by wild animals or is sacrificed before the idol of Bhawani. The
infirm, thus, always suffer and even favorable factors do not prove helpful to
them.
Materials security is yet another
cause for human suffering. Difficulties of several kinds have to be faced on
account of scarcity of food, clothing, water, housing, cattle, land,
companions, friends, money, medicines, books, weapons, teachers etc. and a
person has to curtail his legitimate needs, suppress his feelings and waste his
precious life. Even capable and competent persons feel themselves crippled
beaten down for want of material resources.
Gayatir is Kamdhenu
One who sincerely invokes, adores and
worships Gayatri, enjoys pleasures similar to the ones a child feels while
sucking nectarlic milk of his mother's breasts. He gets rid of suffering
created by ignorance, infirmity and scarcity and all his righteous desires are
fulfilled.
Gayatri is Kalpa Vriksha
It is said that here is a Kalpa
Vriksha in heaven and a person sitting underneath it gets whatever he wants.
All his desires are instantly fulfilled. One can imagine how happy shall a
person be who possesses such a Kalpa-vriksha. There is such a Kalpa-vriksha on
this earth also which again is known as Gayatri. By outward appearance it is a
string of twenty-four letters or nine word of this Mantra incorporates in it
the keys to the fulfillment of all righteous desires of a man.
Gayatri is not only one of the
numerous gods or goddess. It is the original creative energy of the Absolute
Brahma, which is transcendent, in incomprehensible and beyond the cosmos. The
words Gayatri Upasana carry the same meaning as Ishwar-Bhakti, Ishwar-Upasana,
Brahma-Sadhana, Atma-Sakshatkar, Brahma-Darshan, Prabhu-Parayanta etc.
Gayatri-Sadhana is, in fact exemplary yet easiest way of worship. Those who
tread this path pass joyously through life and ultimately reach the ultimate
goal of G od-realization. Absolute Brahma and Gayatri are, in fact, Two in One.
