Seprense de la pena
La experiencia de los santos en este pas es diferente. Ellos han sabido (y
ustedes tambin saben) que el cuerpo, con una forma y un nombre, es slo una
morada temporal. La forma y el nombre hacen cualquier cosa temporal.
Ustedes escuchan del Seor que da arana (audiencia) en el templo, llevando
un montn de diamantes en la mano (hastam)! Eso significa que el Seor se
concibe teniendo un nombre y una forma, que son limitadas y, por lo tanto,
temporales, unido solamente a una manifestacin particular. Forma y Nombre
La pena, como la alegra son causadas, por el apego de los sentidos a los
objetos; una vez que sepan que no son los sentidos ni la mente, sino l, el que
opera los sentidos y comanda la mente, cruzarn los lmites del placer y el
dolor. El Presidente de la India tuvo recientemente un duelo nacional; pero el
dolor no afect su papel como presidente, verdad? No. Las funciones del
Presidente se llevaron a cabo sin ningn obstculo o prdida de inters.
Seprense de la pena; ustedes son el Presidente de su Reino. Los sentidos y la
mente, con todos los impulsos concomitantes, deseos, actitudes, etc., son sus
siervos, los instrumentos que han de llevar a cabo sus rdenes.
Grief is caused, as joy is caused, by the attachment of the senses to objects; once you know that
you are not the senses or the mind, but He, who operates the senses and wields the mind, you
cross the bounds of pleasure and pain. The President of India had a recent domestic bereavement;
but he did not import that grief into his role as President, did he? No. The duties of the President
were performed without any hindrance or loss of interest. Separate yourself from the grief; you
are the President of your Realm. The senses and the mind, with all the attendant impulses,
desires, attitudes, etc., are your servants, instruments that have to carry out your orders.
Los Vea-s les ensean esta verdad. Una vez, como parte de un cortejo
nupcial, un elefante tambin era conducido: un elefante de mimbre, de tamao
natural. Las personas lo miraron con asombro y algunos incluso se atrevieron
criticarlo, diciendo que las piernas eran demasiado cortas, las orejas eran
inadecuadas, etc. Pero, la cosa estaba llena de galletas y, en unos momentos,
cuando este fue encendido, todo el artilugio explot en un resplandor de
estrellas fugaces de colores brillantes con una tremenda explosin. Por qu
debe haber tantas crticas de una cosa que, al igual que el cuerpo, pronto
arder en llamas? El cuerpo no es sino un instrumento para un propsito
elevado, la realizacin (conciencia) de la Gloria que llena el Universo, del cual
ustedes son una fraccin!
The Vehas teach you this truth. Once, as part of a marriage procession, an elephant was also
pushed along: a wicker-elephant, life-size. People looked at it in wonder and some even dared to
find fault with it, saying the legs were too short, the ears were inadequate, etc. But, the thing was
filled with crackers and, in a few moments, when it was lit, the whole contraption exploded in a
blaze of brilliantly-coloured shooting stars with a tremendous bang. Why should there be so
much criticism of a thing which, like the body, will soon go up in flames? The body is but an
instrument for a high purpose, the realisation of the Glory that fills the Universe, of which you
are a fraction!
(fuego digestivo divino)--- el fuego que est en los cuerpos de todos seres y
digiere los cuatro tipos de alimentos que comen." Ese fuego digiere los
alimentos, pero, cuida de no destruir el propio estmago! l es la base de toda
actividad, a pesar de que l mismo es indiferente.
The Truth that is in all beings is also in you. Search for that; discover that unity; that source of
courage, of love, of wisdom. You do not realise that it is He who digests the food that you
consume, for, as He says, in the Geetha, "I am the Vaishwaanara---fire that is in the bodies of all
beings and digests the four types of food they eat." That fire digests food, but, it is careful not to
destroy the stomach itself! He is the basis of all activity, though Himself unconcerned.
Conozcan aquello, que si se conoce, todo lo que tiene que ser conocido se
conoce. Este fue el consejo dado a Ulaka por su guru, como se menciona
en los Upanisa-s.
Ustedes son el ncleo, el centro de su mundo. Sin ustedes
Whatever happens, the path of virtue should not be given up. When Hanumaan saw Seetha in the
Ashoka Vana at Lanka, surrounded by ogresses, forlorn and helpless in the midst of her captors,
he fell into such overpowering agony that he said to himself, "The whole world is sunk in sorrow
since this Mother is grieving; I shall take her on my shoulder and leaping across the sea, restore
her to Raama and make her happy." He invited Seetha to accept his proposal. But, listen to what
Seetha replied. She resisted the temptation to escape from captivity, to reunite with her Lord, to
rejoin her people, her kith and kin. She struck to the path of Dharma; "I should not, out of my
own will, touch any male other than my Lord. Besides, it will detract from the glory that awaits
my Lord, who will certainly liberate me by the prowess of his arm. If you carry me back now,
you will be repeating the act for which we now condemn Raavana." The means are as important
as the goal; the end does not justify the means; it has to be as noble as the end.
Si el lugar que es necesario alcanzar, est muy cerca, slo tienen que ar un
paso al otro lao; si la istancia es mayor, puee que tengan pensao un
vehculo, e bueyes o caballos; para istancias ms largas, es posible que
necesiten un coche o un avin. Pero, el Seor es ms cercano a ustees.
Entreabran la puerta (cerraa) e la ilusin; rasguen la cortina e la
ignorancia; abran el ojo cerrao; l est all mismo, elante e ti. La niebla
el placer sensual lo escone e ustees. Encienan la luz; la oscuria
esaparece y l se hace visible.
SHRI SATHYA SAI
If the place you must reach is very near, you can just step across;
if the istance is more, you may nee a vehicle, bullock- rawn or
horse-rawn; for longer istances, you may require a car or a
plane. But, the Lor is nearest to you. Slie ajar the oor of
elusion; part the curtain of ignorance; open the close eye; He is
right there, before you. The fog of sensual pleasure is hiing Him
from you. Switch on the light; the arkness isappears an He
becomes visible.
