Lack of Sharanagati

 

Its been a long time since I wrote anything here. I would request all my Guru brothers and sisters to kindly visit the page dedicated to our holy Sri Gurudev in facebook wherein I am posting nowadays. Its in the name of Sri Guru Sri Ramchandra. But for the past few days I noticed something in the mindset of some so-called disciples. One side they would claim about saranagati or surrendering at the holy lotus feet of Guruji but on the other side would criticize about his decisions or actions!! What is this??? Those who dare to do all such acts or deeds doesn’t know anything about devotion at the holy feet of one’s Sri Guru or Guru Bhakti. If you don’t know anything about Guru bhakti then all your devotion for your Lord is futile or would just be waste no matter how big you are!! The first and foremost thing in spiritualism is devotion for Sri Guru and then comes your Ishta as Guru would only take you to your Lord and without which one can never reach out to his lord just like one’s mother can only tell who is his father!! Mother is the first Guru in a person’s life similarly in spiritual field also Sri Guru is the guide who guides the disciple how to proceed in his sadhana!! Sri Sri Ramthakur said that Nobody has the capacity or ability to criticize Sri Guru’s deeds!! He had also guided all to read Sri Guru-Gita to know more about this aspect! Sri Sri Thakur had many places while describing about Prarabdha or Destiny had given the example of Abhimanyu who was killed in the battlefield mercilessly and in a wrong way by the kauravas who was nephew of Lord Sri Krishna Himself and ofcourse son of Arjuna. The Lord was knowing everything beforehand what is going to happen but he didn’t intervened in the prarabha of Abhimanyu and tried to save him!! Some people say that it was a foolish act of Abhimanyu himself for which he had pay the heavy price by his own life which is just ridiculous & a peculiar explanation.. first of all a true khsatriya can never turn a back from a challenge or war even if he knows that he will loose the war and secondly the chakravyuh was planned by Dronacharya to capture Yudhisthir if that day had Abhimanyu didn’t gone inside the chakravyuh Yudhisthir would had to and once he had entered he would have been captured by Dronacharya and once captured the battle would have ended and the cause also for which pandavas were fighting it and moreover Abhimanyu had actually taken birth to die like that as it was his destiny only!! Then there was some another incident where a sadhu had to take birth of a dog due to his some previous birth’s karma and who was subsequently granted salvation by our holy Sri Gurudev but this very same so-called disciple had questioned about God’s and our Guruji’s act of punishing by making him a dog but he doesn’t understand one thing that God only grants salvation and it is our own deeds because which jiva had to roam in different species and births!!  But the biggest question is that what kind of devotion you have for your Lord?? Your devotion is so weak and wavering!!! I remember a story here which I had listened in childhood that once there were two devotees who were doing deep sadhana for Lord and once they had the opportunity to meet Devrishi Narad to whom they request for his divine blessings so that they can succeed in their devotions! Narad to check their devotion asked the first one separately that when once I had visited Vaikunt I saw to my wonder that Lord is passing through quite frequently a huge elephant from a tiny hole of a tiny needle to which that fellow shouted what?? What are you saying?? Are you mad?? Is it ever possible??? I am now quite sure that you had never ever seen or visited the holy Vaikunt Dham or seen our Lord which you boast everywhere!! Narad then went to the second devotee and narrated the same story to which that fellow started laughing and said O Devrishi! Why are you wondering on this?? I had not expected this from you atleast! There is nothing in this universe which my Lord cannot do!! When this whole universe has been created by Him then what is there which He cannot do?? So this is called firm devotion!! All Glory to Sri Naam and Holy Sri Guru!! Jai Ram!!
