Humanity:
Our Precious Heritage-II
Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya
After thorough sadhanas and the
resulting experiences, saints concluded that everyone is entitled to God's
gifts, so they should be distributed amongst all. By pursuing this guideline,
the emergence of free happiness can take place and the world can be kept
secure. Without it, there is no other way to establish peace in human life.
Worldly glories are automatically attracted to the one who can differentiate
between justice and injustice and between righteousness and unrighteousness,
and who perceives the same consciousness in all living beings.
A person experiences happiness as
a by-product resulting from voluntary sacrifice for the welfare of others. A
person whose heart is filled with loving kindness becomes so powerful and
capable that material pleasures seem trivial to him. What could be the value of
transient pleasures compared to the effulgence of the soul? It is beyond the
intellectual capacity of the modern man to contemplate the achievements of
sages like Vashishtha, Vishwamitra, Gautum, Dadhichi, Kanva, Angira, Jamadagni,
Bhardwaj, etc.
The whole world bowed before
their spiritual and material attainments. Through their tapas they had command
over the sublime energies of the universe. They could have, if they wished,
accumulated material wealth in unimaginable proportions. But they never desired
it. Compared to the welfare of humanity they considered the pleasures of the
world worthless. They were ever ready to serve mankind. One of the most famous
cases is of sage Dadhichi, who permitted Lord Indra to take his bones and
construct an indestructible weapon called "vajra" to defeat the evil
forces threatening mankind. Dadhichi experienced immense happiness in
self-sacrifice, which he had not experienced by attaining spiritual and
material powers. Achievements are meant to aid man realise his goal. Man is
born for the service of humanity...
Thanks GOD, Thanks Sadguru,
Shiv Sharma
