|| My Life is My Message ||

Thakurji ensures that we taste everything in life and in order to taste, Shree Thakurji gave us tongue through which we can savour different tastes in life and enjoy. Similarly, good behavior is your adornment. It is your behavior that reflects your status in life. If you are on a high post but your behavior is lowly, then, you will remain a stranger among your friends, family and society. Just like that if you are on a low post but you are simple, easygoing and pure, then, you will be respected amongst the highest class. A short while ago, I got to witness Shree Thakurji's Leela in my life and understood many new things, so, thought to share them with you. I stay in Shree Vrindavan Dham and focus on Bhajan in solitude and show the right path to others through positivity. But, since I am human, and nobody can escape sickness, I had to travel outside the city for spiritual work, and I got really sick all of a sudden. I had nothing except Thakurji's love with me. I was praying to Thakurji on how should I take care of this body as I don't like to share my problems with anybody, but Thakurji knows everything that's going on inside us. He sent one of his devotees to me who is a well respected person in the society. Thakurji knows who is supposed to do whose seva and when. He not only suggested and took me to the  hospital after looking at my situation, but also managed to take care of me while I was admitted in the hospital for 25 days, along with managing his daily chores. This is a big example for those who talk ill behind Brajwasis' back. Brajwasis are really pure because Shree Thakurji resides in their hearts, and they can prove the same when time comes, just like the president of Mero Vrindavan channel, Shri Saurabh bhaiya ji.

The land of love: Shree Dham Vrindavan. Vrindavan is full of love and nothing else where there are over 5000 temples remembering thakurji's Leelas, and one lifetime is not enough to understand the history behind each place. Even Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu himself cannot completely understand Vrindavan Dham as the nectar of love and devotion flows throughout Vrindavan, of which there is no end. Even many thousand lifetimes are not enough to understand Dham fully as Shree Vrindavan is 'prem ras upasana'. What is that in Dham that even liberation gets liberated just by the pure dust of Vrindavan. Just like no matter how much make up you apply, the conscious element of your being cannot be eliminated, similarly, no matter how many changes you see in present day Vrindavan, the significance and importance of Shree Thakurji 's Leela place cannot be taken away. Three things from Dwaparyug are still present in Braj Mandal today; first, Shri Yamuna ji, second, Shri Govardhanji, third, Braj raj (the pure dust of the land of Braj). All three are important and significant in their individual roles and Brajwasis continue to hold them dear to their hearts. Brajwasis are the Gurus of even Shree thakurji. Be it Shri Tulsidas ji, Shri Meera Bai ji or other pure devotees, they all received Shri Thakur ji's darshan in Vrindavan. As a child, as an adult or as a Brajwasi, Shree Thakurji doesn't go outside of Vrindavan even today. If any devotee has Vrindavan in his heart, believe it or not, the divine couple come to reside in his heart automatically.  Human body is a means to reach that supreme power and supreme love. What you do with your body is upto you, destroy it or use it to submerge into the ocean of divine love just like sugar dissolves into water and become one.

We must understand this carefully that if we compare ourselves with somebody else, then, instead of progressing in life, we will develop feelings of jealousy which are detrimental to our success. We must learn from others and become better instead of being jealous. Mostly, people become jealous instead of developing virtues by learning from others. If God has sent somebody on this earth, then, his or her goal is predestined and many things are part of our destiny, but life is like a game, there is order to everything we are destined to achieve. It is very important to have patience and wait for the right time and understand life.

The idea of changing one's own self is supreme over the idea of taking revenge from others. The revenge fire burns us more than the other. God is also never happy with the one who is jealous because this world is the divine's creation, and Thakurji has taught us to just love, no matter who it is. We must take shelter of Thakurji and douse the fire of jealousy through the cold water of patience and equality, as soon as possible. Jealousy hurts oneself and the one who is full of jealousy may or may not rise in life, but the one who has pure thoughts and has patience definitely makes his life great and also of his companions. The more elevated your thoughts are, surely your life will be equally elevated, and in time, people will like you.

The moment the pure water of the Ganges is mixed with ordinary water, it becomes as pure as the Ganges. In the same way, a living being is impure only till the time he does not form a relationship with Thakur Ji. As soon as one establishes a relationship with Thakur ji, he also becomes Bhagavad Swaroop. Shri Krishna is very kind. No matter how our mind is fixed on him, one seeks his shelter, he bestows his mercy upon him. In Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Shri Krishna explains to Arjuna that without his grace, without taking his shelter, without worshiping him, no one can be free from the illusion created by me. Irrespective of the emotion with which you seek Krishna, it does not take long for him to offer his grace to his devotees. It is important to establish a relationship with God, be it as a lover, friend, brother, or any other relation. Once you seek his shelter and surrender yourselves completely to his lotus feet, you will experience the changes in your life and feel Shri Krishna's presence just like Arjun, Draupadi, Vidur, Vidhurani, Sudama or Meerabai, or any other pure devotees.

Worry is also there in the life of a saint and worry is also there in the life of a worldly person, but there is a big difference between the two, and that is that a saint is worried about the welfare of the world and the worldly person is concerned about his personal interests. The differences between a saint and a worldly person lie in emotion and may not be reflected in action, in their external states but in their inner state of beings. Their paths are same yet different, which cannot be understood just by looking at them, just like without tasting the water of a river you cannot tell whether it is salty or sweet. It has been seen that both worldly person and the Saint get angry but the worldly person gets angry due to non-fulfillment of his material desires and the Saint gets angry when he is not able to achieve his spiritual goals. Both saint and a worldly person collects possessions, and both struggle in life. But even though there seems to be no difference in their actions, there are major differences in emotions involved like land and sky. If there is accumulation of material possessions in your life for the benefit of others and not for selfish reasons, and you use all your wealth for the happiness of others, then, in true sense, you are a saint despite living in the material world. A saint will never harm any body no matter what the situation, he only saves the life of other people, be it through his hymns or by any other means.

When you start something new in life, you estimate what all is required and ensure the success of your venture by using limited resources initially, and gradually invest more. There is an old saying, " Drop by drop makes an ocean". Continue working hard and stay positive as we are aware that Hardwork is the key to success. Rivers flow faster when it rains and further, adds current to the ocean when they meet, the real success of life is when we continuously work hard with positivity. We must ensure that wherever we are investing our energy, it is positive.

This is the eternal truth that the one who has taken birth will also die. Be it human life or any other living beings, everyone is struggling according to their situations and circumstances. If there are no struggles in life, then, we wouldn't be able to understand the meaning of life. Anything that we do from morning till evening is struggle. Shree Thakurji is very proud to see how we don't give up. Sometimes, we get nervous during our struggle period and forget that Thakurji is with us. At that moment,  we need to think who was with us during our happy times. There are two kinds of time created by Thakurji, happiness and suffering. They are like the two sides of the same coin. When we are sad, we need to remember that this won't last. Always remember Thakurji in everything that you do, no matter where you are.  And be happy because change is constant.
