During Swamishri’s
breakfast, Kirtan, a young satsangi boy, recited the verse, 'Tvameva
mata cha pita tvameva...' Then, a sadhu asked Kirtan as to who his father
was. Kirtan pointed to his father who was sitting nearby. Swamishri
then explained to Kirtan, saying, "Our true Mother and Father is
God. In the worldly sense, you were born of your parents, but God gave
you this body. Your father was not there to mould your body. God moulded
your hands, feet, nose, ears, etc. Everyone is born after God moulds
them. You can't find such a master sculptor anywhere! Look how He has
made our beautiful eyes, nose, mouth, hands, feet and teeth. And since
God created us, He is our Mother and Father. God is the Mother and Father
of your atma whereas your parents are the mother and father of your
body. God is also your Brother and your Friend. Don't you all kids sing,
'Ghanshyam, Ghanshyam come and play with me.' Then the verse says 'Tvameva
sarvam', meaning, 'God is everything for us.'"
Swamishri explained the
glory of God as Mother, Father, Brother, Friend and everything for everyone. |
