Q by Suhasji, Mayaji and Answers by PP Swamiji
PP Swamijee ,
( Late Shri Suhas Markandeya was “Outstanding Scientist” in World Renowned Research Institute, ‘ Bhabha Atomic Research Center ‘ of Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India )
“Namaskar to you and all members of this group from Suhas and Maya. The guidance given by you through this question answer forum is valuable to one and all. So far I was reading the posts and have not asked any doubts or questions. I think each of us agree and understand whatever is told here but find it difficult to follow in our life and that is where gurus blessings matter for which true guru bhakti and full faith in him is a must. This amounts to serious bhakti yog. However it is said that Rajyog is more suited to intellectuals.Knowing the limitations of common person like us
in seriously following either path, how to mend our way to the ultimate goal of achieving so called moksha? I do not know if my doubt is apt to be placed in this forum. If yes, kindly guide us.
Suhas Markendeya.”
Answer by P. P. Swamiji
Shri Suhas and Sou Maya, I thank you not only for taking cognizance of this group but also for initiating
active participation with asking clarification of the basic doubts/questions which occupy everybody’s mind and thereby naturally proving them apt for this forum. It is splendid for this forum that the senior scientists are taking active interest in this group and asking questions without hesitation. I hope, the conversation being exchanged here will be beneficial to the members and many others in days to come. I am feeling very much happy and excited dealing here and let me assure you and other members that I am abided by utmost honesty in giving replies. Wherever I will not be knowing answers I will not feel ashamed of expressing my inability. But you can guess that I will be satisfied by the sincere questions too and by the meaningful use of the guidance being given here. You have rightly pointed out in your mail that whatsap does not allow the voluminous conversatons. But this has been proved best for the faster and convenient communicaton. You and all members being erudite and sensible people I will also try to be oriented and precise here.
Now coming to your doubts which really needed to be discussed here, I shall elucidate in fractions to avoid a single lengthy reply.
I thank you again and request you to please follow.
While imparting knowledge to Prabhu Ramchandra Guru Vasista told him-
यावन्नानुग्रह: साक्षाज्जायते परमेश्वरात्।
तावन्न सद्गुरुः कश्चित्
सच्छास्त्रामपि नो लभेत्।।
Unless and untill you are blessed by Satchidanandghan Parmatma you can’t get a good guide (satguru) and no interest is created in your (brain) mind to understand what is written in Shastras. So it is evident from the teachings of Guru Vasista that the members joining this group are blessed ones and being guided by God himself.
Your worry that you understand what is being discussed here but find difficult to follow appears to be futile. It is God who is sitting inside you and will make you follow everything slowly and even by imperceptible degrees. So please be relaxed and continue your reading and deeper thinking without disturbing your routine life. This practice (श्रवण आणि मनन) will automatically create a sort of conscience in your brain and will take care that you lead a life of importance and value. What is truly required is your honest and continuous efforts to create and reach unparalleled trust in Shastras and your Guru. (Whosoever he may be).
