Pranam to Parampoojya Parameshwar Sadguru Swami Anilji Maharaj
Shatpanchashika Stotra… 7
(Translation of the discourse in Hindi Given by Parampoojya Swami Anilji Maharaj)
Saraswati Maharaj is explaining the Vedant sidhant in the next Shloka also by giving an example.
“Bhavanbhumetyakartatmatwam vrajetsadgurorgira l Bhillapalitaratputra aptoktya rajatamiv ll10ll”
A kingdom was acquired by enemy king, killing the king of the kingdom. Frightened minister of the slain king, hid the prince in the hut of a bhilla tribal in the forest. Prince was brought up in the hut of the tribal bhilla. He thought he was one among them. After listening to the tellings of near and dear ones, Prince Realised his original Self. He understood that even while living in the hut of a tribal he is not one of them.
He remembered his own self, being the prince, he has to acquire his lost kingdom and rule it. He started taking steps for freeing his kingdom from the hands of enemy.
With his efforts Prince soon acquired back his kingdom and started ruling it.
Param Poojya Vasudevanand Saraswati Maharaj tells that the life of normal family person is similar to this. He also is not aware of his original Self and gets drowned into the worldly matters because of the attack of enemies like desires, anger etc. send by Maya. He takes this world itself as his home, like prince was taking bhilla hut as his home. Normal person considers himself to be body like prince was considering himself to be bhilla, which was Imbibed upon him from his childhood. The prince remembered his princely status when told by well wisher minister and Realised his duty to get back to the kingdom, similarly sayings of Sadguru, who is nearest kin, the person gets back the memory of his Original Self.
Sadguru Speech and sayings of Shastras are superior to the sayings of near and dear ones. In fact Sadguru alone is the nearest kin. With utmost reverence and Unshakable faith in Sadguru vachan bestows up on the person, memory of his Original Self. Arjun got bestowed with such memory after listening to Bhagwan Shrikrishna.
