A
mother would take the infant who is on the advent of grasping things
to the idol of God. She shows the figure and tells "It is God".
The baby learns the first lesson of spirituality and joins both
the palms as a gesture of respect. Thus, the spiritual journey of
grasping things seen with both the eyes will begin at an early stage
of life. By the time the child starts learning alphabets, seeds
of devotion for God are sown in its mind.
The very objective of human life is to attain self-knowledge. But,
the spell of illusion halts the urge to know the Ultimate. Despite
knowledge, we run seeking jobs and riches. Therefore, initially,
we have to pray to God "grant me, Oh Lord! That spirit of realizing
You". As soon as we pray thus, Baba will commence His work.
Though we are unaware of what happens or how it happens, we notice
how the mind gets detached slowly from earthly pleasures. It will
start with devotion, contemplation and culminates into a feeling
"Not earthly bonds, I want none other than You, Baba".
Even this is done at His Will. The child will love the taste of
a drop of honey dropped on its tongue. Likewise, divine experiences
that Baba, the All Pervading One, grants us are like a drop of nectar
and the devotees who taste them are blessed. Gradually, spiritual
experiences flood our minds and we delight in Baba's Ambrosial Love
Divine.
