AATMA-BAL (SELF-POWER, SELF-CONFIDENCE)

‘Yatpinde tatbramhande’. All things which exist in this universe are also present in the human body. I.e. the human body can be said a mini universe (bramhand). Every person has equal things, but some go far ahead and some are left extreme behind.
Atma-bal (self-power, self-confidence) plays vital role in going ahead. Self-power comes after regular rumination. Man becomes able to utilize the enormous power within him by meditation and proceeds towards immortality and divinity. In the whole life, one utilizes negligible part of one’s efficiency. Albert Einstein utilized 3% of his brain’s capacity and became the first liner among scientists.
With the effect of self-power, man becomes able to do miracles. He performs wonders easily which seem impossible for common persons. Regular practice and cogitation is the mother of self-power. When I am in elevation, I perform marvels which seem beyond my capacity; in depression I become zero and cannot do easier jobs which a child can do. ‘Mook hohi baachaal, pangu chadhai girivan gahan. Badhir sunahi sooran lakhahi, eesh kripa yatnahi satat.’ The dumb become more speaking, the lame climb the difficult mountains, the deaf start to hear more clearly and the blind see the whole universe, by regular trial and Almighty’s grace.----------NAMO RAMANAAY.

ELEVATION-DEPRESSION (1)

Nabonath is a special personality. Educationally, he neither studied in any school in regular course nor gave any examination. He went to brahmacharyashram with some of his friends of his age. His father was a poor farmer and totally illiterate. He never encouraged his son to study. Rather he did not give importance to education. He engaged Nabo in farming and taming pets like cows, oxen and she-buffaloes. But, Nabo’s brain was very sharp. Imitating his friends, he occasionally went to the ashram. Seeing his intelligence, Gurujee (the tutor) liked him very much and wanted him to come regularly. Nabo had keen interest in uttering loudly the Veda-Mantras. Sometimes, he participated in Yagyas and enjoyed there too much. Seeing his correct pronunciation, organizers always selected him. In this way, he learnt some Veda-Mantras and Sanskrit Shlokas. One day, quarreling with his father, he fled away from home and reached Asansole where his cousin was working in railways as an assistant driver. With the help of his cousin, he got a job in A.H.Wheeler’s book- stall on the station. A railway officer had keen interest in reading books. He always visited the book-stall and purchased books. He liked the behavior of the little child too much. He employed the boy as a fireman in the railways. After sometime, Nabo became assistant driver and later driver in electric goods and passenger trains. -----------------------contd.
