Sacrifice to Lord should be with Love
Suppose you are giving milk to your child, are you not happy to give that?
Are you weeping to give the milk to your child? Are you praying the Lord
To give strength to sacrifice milk to your child? This means that the Lord
Is not equal even to your child, you are sacrificing all the bonds for your child
But you are not sacrificing all the bonds for the sake of the Lord
Therefore, your love on the Lord is not real compared to your child
The Lord expects only one bond with Him and not any other bond
See Sakthuprastha, who sacrificed his food and food of his family
They were not eating for the past ten days in that severe draught
If they do not eat that food their lives will leave their bodies
He sacrificed the entire food spontaneously with happiness
When Shankara left His mother He was so happy to go on the mission
You be in the place of Shankara and not in the place of His mother
His mother was weeping to leave Shankara but Shankara was happy
You should get the grace of the Lord like Shankara directly and not
Like the mother of Shankara indirectly, you must yourself win His grace
Do you want to achieve His grace because you are mother of Shankara?
Everybody stands with his or her isolated account before the Lord
The account of other soul is not at all affecting your account
Every soul is individually and independently judged by the Lord
When the gross body is dropped all these relationships vanish
You cannot claim that the Lord should bless you
As the wife of some sacred soul or as the mother of some other sacred soul
When Shankara left the home He advised her to concentrate on the Lord
And not to think about Him, the mother did so and is salvated
The mother got the salvation by her effort and Shankara encouraged that
We say that the son of a professor got good rank because he was his son
This does not mean that his son was given good marks due to the professor.
This means that professor helped his son by teaching with special care,
Therefore, you should come to the mission of the Lord and your bonds
Should weep, you should be aspiring for the reverse situation
After leaving this gross body there is no recognition of any other soul
When Abhimanyu died and reached the heaven Arjuna, his father
Was taken by the Lord and Abhimanyu did not recognize his father
I told that the mother of Shankara got the salvation because of Shankara
That does not mean that she got the salvation just because she was His mother
She spent all her rest life in the devotion of Lord Shankara and for this
She got the salvation, don’t think that she was sitting in her home
And went on seeing the T.V., and cinemas and at the end claimed
The salvation because of the single qualification that she was mother
of Shankara, as mother of Shankara, she received best preaching
from Him
That preaching helped her to have firm single-minded devotion
Thus Shankara was responsible for her salvation through His divine knowledge
One has to lift his or her own soul on his or her own effort only
No other soul can lift any soul except the super soul that is the Lord
Gita says the same “Uddharet Atmana Aatmanam”, When Mandanamisra was
Walking out of his house leaving his beloved wife, Ubhaya Bharathi,
She gave farewell to him with immense pleasure and she also took the sacred
Orange robe and walked out as another saint, she was a great scholar
She knows that she will not get salvation because her husband is a saint
Therefore, she was happy that her husband realized the truth and is saved
But by this she is not satisfied because her husband can save himself only
And not her, therefore she walked out as a saint for her own upliftment
