Real Home 

===========


The purpose for which the day is observed has not gone deep within us. How to  eke out the benefit of the special day. ??? Due to various preoccupations,  we may have become superficial. Going back to our days when we were getting strongly influenced by the Guru is important.  That will reawaken us to live for the ideal which was represented by the Guru and thus get back to our real home which is within us


#########


We have started with the  me and mine. We are not aware of the real home.  Our real home is the Lord. 


Words of Swami Satchidanandji


We have to return home. We come in contact with a wise man who knows about our true home. He asks us to meditate on our real being or give us any other method. Then the mind gets purified and desires get dropped off. After mind gets  still , we get a glimpse of our real home. By further efforts,  we get established in the stillness and  we go there to our real home as naked as we were when we started. ....


#######


So, our real home is stillness or quietitude ...Does our Ramnam and other sadhana help us to get stillness 


######


Papa --- Utterance of God's Name is to make the mind ultimately still

Swamiji was always unexcited, if there is a word like that.

 ...In Jainism, there is a phrase that portrays a wise man. "Vismayam naasti" . It means there is no wonder. Swamiji was never elated or depressed.  


#######


Real Home can be linked with the meaning of religion...Religare” is considered a stem for the word religion and has the meaning of binding, “to tie something with something”, the human and the divine, “to connect” in some way; 


######


We are not aware of our Origin. Because we are covered by superimpositions or conditionings.  We have to uncover ourselves from all the conditionings and superimpositions, like our attachment to name, fame , wealth, etc...


#######


We must try to know why our Guru exerted such a huge influence. Because He stood for an ideal.  He stood for eternal happiness absolute. And that is our real home.   .....
