Nellore Speech of Sri Swamiji – 28th Jan 03- Arrival Day Speech
When we talk and think, we create waves. The waves are smooth and enjoyable when you talk and think good. This is my theory. Even people in the west believe it. Don’t think I have a fad of foreign tours. I go there because they like me and my theories. Today many speakers were full of praise on Swamiji. Bala Rama Reddy lavished praises on me. I am not moved by these praises. I call a temple – mental hospital. Because there you go there to judge yourself and you are in the court of the lord. You are in communion with him. Where else can you get a compassionate hearing? Only with him. If you share grief with others, they too would want you to share their grief. He expects you to return the same favor. But you are not prepared for the same. Believe in reality. Get rid of your superstitions. In Bhimavaram, Peethapuram and Srikakulam, Sri Swamiji went in to the crowds to address them. The speech were spoken with a tinge of grief, unhappiness and startle. You must understand that you cannot postpone further. The time to lead a Dharmic life has come. The world is in difficulties with itself because the population today has been leading a mostly Adharmic life. When two big countries decide to fight, all others suffer. I pray the Kaarya Siddhi Hanuman to clear the world of its terrible troubles and to give the people the mind to lead a Dharmic life. May our slogan Sarve Janaa Sukhino Bhavantu. (May all be happy and comfortable). Don’t force your beliefs and theories on others. You first fully understand it and indulge in them. There is no Tax to lead Dharmic life. So, please follow it. Learn to speak truth and don’t say lies. Saying small lies becomes a habit which will weave a web of deceit and difficulties. Read my talks on the internet and spread the message to others. It brings you great merit. Don’t come to me to get Blessings for increase in your wealth, your career or family problems. Your primary intention should always must be to become a good and humane human being. Your children and grand children should proudly say that my father or grand father was a devotee of Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Swamiji. Just imagine. Why should I take all these difficulties of going from village to village everyday for two months? Traveling thousands of kilometers and struggling with difficult roads and hardships? For money? No. Never. I have enough and can enjoy a comfortable life sitting in Mysore. I want to achieve that thing which cannot be done sitting in Mysore and helping only those who come there. Who comes t here? Only those come to Mysore who have the intention to change for good. I want to come to you all in these far away villages to prod you to become good people. If you already think that you already are good people, then become even more good people. I am a task master and a business man. I expect these strenuous trips of mine to yield results. Results of more good people. If you give up one or two lies tomorrow, I am a happy person. Most of
you sitting here might be wondering why Swamiji is speaking about good
values instead of speaking about Mantras and Pujas
to increase wealth.
Now I will come to that. It is a very secret Mantra. If you
do this Puja, it is all but certain to increase. The Puja and Mantra
to increase
wealth
and money is – Develop charitable mind. Become more helpful.
The more you help needy and desperate, the more it comes to
you. The more
you cling to what you have the faster it disappears. Jaya Guru Datta |
