God And His Problems!

Have you ever wondered if God were to have issues and problems then where would He go to get answers and relief from them? I am sure He has issues which are humongous and their answers too are very difficult to get. But there must be someone He too goes for answers. Let us find out about them here!
Once Krishna had a stinking headache and He asked His disciple Uddhava to get some medicine for it. He asked Uddhava to go to His best devotees and get the dust of their feet. Uddhava was surprised at this but he went to find them anyway. He went to Brindavan and found that the Gopi's of Brindavan were His highest devotees and so he asked them for the dust of their feet. The Gopi's gathered a sackful of dust from all their feet and presented it to Uddhava. He was aghast to find a sackful of dust and he felt that this was an insult to Krishna. But the Gopi's love was overflowing just like the sackful of dust. They were willing to do anything so that their beloveds headache goes away. Such is the level of devotion for the Lord of their heart!
Similarly one day Narad came to meet Krishna and was told that Krishna is deep in prayers. Narad was surprised to find that and he waited patiently for Krishna to finish His prayers.
When Krishna entered the room, Narad immediately asked Him in consternation as to whom do the almighty Gods pray to?
Krishna smiled and answered that He was praying to the saints and holy men.
We often wonder how this whole thing called spiritual works?
Just because we do not see God we wonder who is the One we actually should pray to?
Even Gods pray to the saints and the holy ones.
When the mighty river Ganga was asked how people get mukti by taking her water, she answered that her waters are not holy at all since they carry all the dead bodies and garbage from various places. She answered that Ganga becomes holy only when the saints dip their feet in her waters and not otherwise!
So also the great Gods pray to the holy saints, just the way Ganga depends on them for her holiness!
The true representation of God are the Holy Saints who live here on earth.
So keeping holy company means being with God and getting liberation!

I Don't Like What You Do!

I was very surprised to see this comment in my inbox yesterday and it was written by one of my dearest friends. He said that he did not like what I do! In spiritual! So why did I join the spiritual bandwagon and what is it that makes me write such stuff on this topic? He truly seemed flabbergasted and wanted to know the whys and the wherefores of it! Spiritual does not happen to a person the way you may get married or pass your school or college. It is mentioned in the holy texts that urge and desire to know God or Self comes about very rarely. Every individual knows about God from his own parents or relatives or friends. His knowledge is as trivial as theirs. None of these are qualified to talk about God. Since no one has seen or experienced Him, how can anyone talk about Him? The knowledge that they profess to have is as trivial as their forefathers since neither of them have experienced Him ever. The knowledge of Self or the longing for liberation happens to someone by the

Success & Failure

Yesterday one of my disciples came and asked me to say some words for her future. She was celebrating her 20th birthday. Though I speak on spiritual I told her that I will talk about her career and other such opportunities. I asked her what she would like to do after she completes her studies and the answer was-I don't know! I told her that it is useless playing football without the goal posts and opponents, so she better have a goal in life. The next was whom would she like to emulate in material worldly success and the immediate answer was Mark Zukerberg, Bill Gates, Mittal and the like! They are highly successful people in this world. Then I asked her whom she would not like to emulate or whom does she consider the most unsuccessful person in life? That was difficult to say. I prodded her! Unable to pin point anyone, I told her the people I would not like to emulate or copy are my parents! That shocked her completely and immediately the heckles stood up. But frankly look a
