Dev Sanskriti -IV ; Pujya Gurudev


Significance of Dev Sanskriti 
=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya
(Countinu)For example sages like Vishvamitra, Vashistha, Valmiki and Vyas considered Divine Culture to be synonymous with the Knowledge of Eternal Life and expressed it in the form of "art of living". They inspired their disciples by saying svam svam caritram shikshate prithivyam sarvamanavah, meaning, "Go now and explain the principles of the Divine Culture to the people of the world through your conduct and character." This is the secret behind the global spread of the Divine Culture. The teachers of Divine Culture did not explain its principles to people through lectures but by themselves adopting them in practice. They repeatedly said, "Human life is a precious gift by God. 
They said that we have not understood reality and this has resulted in misconception about the aim of life." And it is true, if one person in the world is standing in light, it means light exists; then, if we complain that there is darkness, it means we have not searched for light. We have closed our doors of our heart and mind for the entry of light. Similarly if one person can attain bliss, surely everyone can. This possibility exists for every human being in every era. In this era Param Poojya Gurudev demonstrated the principles of Divine Culture in his life. 
He lived this truth in this era; therefore he came to be known as "yugrishi". He taught the principles of Divine Culture after experimenting them on himself and practising them throughout his life; hence he gained the title of "acharya." He was a living embodiment of the Knowledge (Vedas) of Divine Culture, so he was called "vedmurti". Through unwavering tapasya, he maintained the practice of the truth of Divine Culture. That is why he was called "taponishtha". He was the best self-restrained person (maryada purushottam), just like Lord Rama, and was one of the latest links in the chain of divine beings who have preceded him. He gave new expression to the eternal spiritual truths propounded by the scriptures worldwide. He is revered as "Gurudev" by millions of devotees around the world. 
According to Revered Gurudev, Dev sanskriti is a comprehensive way of sadhana which synthesizes matter and consciousness; science and spiritually. For example, we sow a seed and it sprouts. Water and sunlight play a crucial role in this process. If we plant a stone instead of a seed, then even the most fertile land, best quality of water and plenty of sunlight would not be able to make a plant grow out of it. 
On the other hand, if the seed were planted in an infertile and arid land then also it would not develop into a healthy plant despite adequate amounts of water and sunlight. Just as several factors come into play for the sprouting and growth of the seed, similarly several principles of science and spiritually are necessary for the transformation of human life into Life Divine and attainment of bliss. Divine Culture is a harmonious combination of such principles.
Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
Shiv Sharma
