Aum Sri Sai
Ram
Gurupoorinima Celebrations, 2015
@ SSG
Venue: Sri Sathya Sai Hrudaya Mandiram.
Sathaya Sai Grama, Muddenahalli.
30 July, 2015, 5: 15 PM, Thursday. (Gurupoornima
Eve)
Main Items:
§ Talk by Sri B.
Narasimha Murthy
o
He
explained how Sathya Sai Grama [SSG] developed after Swami has come and settled
down at SSG.
o
He
talked about what a sadguru can do
and the five benefits like, prosperity, enlightenment, etc., that are bestowed
automatically on people by his grace. He touched upon what is happening at SSG
to these five boons and pointed out how a ‘dayyaladinne’
(platform for ghosts), as SSG was once referred to, have become ‘Divine Dinne’
.
§ This was followed by
Divine Discourse. Swami brought out an anology between body-mind-Atma and
Earth-Moon-Sun elucidating the vedic mantra “chandramamanasojaathah, chakshosuryaajaayatha”. Mind is associated
with Moon while the eye with Sun. The eye here is not the physical eye, it is
the inner eye, the eye of wisdom, which is associated with Atma. Atma is self-effulgent like the Sun. The Moon’s effulgence is
dependent on Sun. So also is the functioning of the mind is dependent on the Atma. Moon cannot shine without Sun and
the mind can function without the Atma.
Moon is attached to the Earth and goes round it. Mind is attached to the body
and function through the body. There is no mind if there is no body. If the
Earth is between the Sun and the Moon, Earth can see the brilliance of the Sun
reflected in the Moon, and that will be the full-moon day. Where as, if the
Moon is between the Earth and the Sun then it new-moon day. In the same way,
when the body consciousness covers the Atma,
mind will be in full, where as, the same mind will be powerless when the body
consciousness does not cover the Atma.
So the most important sadhana for
dissipation of mind is to reduce the body consciousness.
