In the world of global mobile technology and networking, we are trying to do as much as possible even as we travel. It can be our calls and meetings with family or work respectively. It can be watching movies or listening to music. It can be keeping a track of to-do list on a given day or even work-out and diet routine.
If we are able to do all these on the go, how about connecting with God ? Can this also be achieved as we move around? Yes! God has already designed this for us! He has given us bodies that hold his presence along with us. If he isn’t in the body, then we will not be referred to by a name, but be referred as just a body that will soon be disposed. So, as long as this human body is functional, we are beautifully connected with the eternal God!
There are 84 lakh different types of species (differently baked bodies) including the human body. So, there are 84 lakh different types of mobile mandirs (moving temples)!
If so, Why is there disparity in abilities, and appearances amongst us? Just like a teacher gives equal opportunity to learn from his teaching to all his students, we also had and continue to have equal opportunities to utilise God’s grace. Only a few students who pay attention to teacher’s instructions and follow the discipline guided by him prosper, and the rest suffer the consequences of being inattentive in class. Similarly, a lot of us disbelieved or ignored God’s presence and His instructions due to arrogance – resulting in various states of bodies with varied abilities for all the souls.
Here are a few such instructions…
> Learn to treat our body as a divine place and refrain from throwing other dead bodies into it (such as eating killed animal flesh etc)
> Learn to respect and love everyone as we all belong to one family. Hurting anyone causes pain to the common parent, God !
> Learn to remember that everyone is unique and deserve to be treated and served as we would treat an immediate sibling, or a family member (including other species and nature).
– From the teachings of Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji
25th July 2019; Divya Saketham
Swamiji addressed a very big active young group of children who came on a temple tour to Divya Saketham from Sri Gayatri Techno School, Hyderabad. Despite having a busy morning, Swamiji addressed the children and shared great wealth of wisdom with them. The session was impressively interactive. Quite a few devotees gathered to see the spiritually majestic master, Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji with inquisitively active young learners!
