परमात्मा की इक्षा.

‘Hoihen soi jo Raam rachi raakhaa, kokari tarak badhaavanhi shaakhaa.’ What happened in the past, what is happening in the present and what will happen in the future are always good and for the benefit of the person. We all are like newborn children of our eternal mother. Mother knows every requirement of the baby and fulfils it. After some months when the baby starts movement, it wants to touch and eat harmful things. It moves to touch fire and eat soil, insects and so many other injurious things. Mother does not allow. The baby feels very pain and begins to cry, but does not matter. Mother takes it in the lap and diverts its mind towards other side. If the result of any action is according to our will, it is good. If the result is adverse, it is far better. In ordinary sense, it seems inappropriate. Nevertheless, when I go in depth and think minutely, the theme becomes clear. When I find the result as my desire, a stoppage may come and sharpness of the effort may decrease. If the result is adverse, I try for better with more endeavors. If I get good result, it is God’s grace. If the result is not good, it is His will. However, I should thank the almighty for both events. The better may be hidden in the failure. Mahamahopadhyay Sir Ganganath Jha was a great scholar and famous personality of Mithila. His five sons are also well-known and great scholars like their father. The eldest, the great English scholar, Dr. Amarnath Jha is called the Shakespeare of India. Ganganath Jha was related to Darbhanga Raj. He was made librarian of Raj library. He was working well and was pleased with his literary job finding himself among books. Some bitterness developed with Raj and he was terminated. He became jobless with burden of the family. He increased his effort and got job in Allahabad University. Latter, he became vice chancellor of this university three times continuously. His son Amarnath Jha took charge from his father and he also honoured the post three times. This is a record that a son took the charge from the father and repeated the terms like the father. Sir Ganganath Jha, in his autobiography, has specially quoted the termination event from library, a mile stone for success. Had he not terminated, he would have continued as librarian and people would know him simple librarian.                                                                                        Narad is called Devarshi. Dev-yoni (god specie) is called Bhog-yony (the specie who can only enjoy the past good deeds and cannot do new work). However, Narad is Devarshi (= sage of gods), away from this restriction and he is the dearest of God Vishnu. He knows his previous births. In one of his previous births, he was the son of a maidservant. His mother served so many houses. Once some sages visited the village and stayed there for some time. His mother served the sages. He accompanied his mother. He enjoyed the company of sages too much and wished to go with them. The sages forbade, due to his being the mother’s single shelter. However, they consoled for future. After a short time, his mother died due to snake biting. He became alone and joined the company of sages. When we see back, we find that the worst event happened with the boy. But, the better part is that Narad became Devarshi due to the adverse circumstance which was God’s will. The original shine of gold comes when it is put in the fire. Plant develops properly and gives good yield when it is planted in the open sky and where it faces the sun, the rain and the wind. The plant in the shade does not produce. The person who has struggled becomes successful in the life.--------Ohm namobhagvate Sri Ramanay.
