Satsang MYSTERY OF BIRTH

16. History repeats itself. Great men come and go. Their
greatness is inscribed on their epitaphs - none to read - men
who conquered the world materially for pomp and power
and there is none among them who conquered HIM - the
Almighty. But those saints, sages and seers with no pomp
or power, left behind them, the Vedic rituals, philosophy
religious and scientific teaching for people, to attain Moksha,
Mukti or salvation to spread in the world are remembered.
A sacred task, for man's salvation is performed by them for
which we have to express gratitude, feel grateful and bow
to such seers in reverence.
17. Should every one observe or follow this path or principle?
This world will not be as wicked as existing. That depends on
them - as a test by the Creator - of course all cannot acquire
and pass as in the School examination - some fail and some
pass.

18. But should a man with moral binding, integrity and mental
firmness seek this path of dedication, devotion, meditation
and surrender to the Almighty, atleast, sooner or later after
his Gnhasthasrram, in this mundane world, after attaining
maturity of mind and body by gaining worldly experience in
this material life, there is the chance to get the status, power
and sense of realisation, provided his change towards
salvation is firm, realising and repenting for his past actions,
when the Almighty will certainly pardon and give him
remission as in the imprisonment to a prisoner with a view,
henceforth to purify him, from further misdeeds or sins, from
this mundane world and thus grant him salvation, Mukti or
Moksha.

19. Who on earth can say that a drop of Dhathu Bhindu
will make or mar a man's career? It all depends on his
past karma and accident of birth. It lies in him to make the
best of himself with his discriminary and discreteful powers
endowed to him and brought into the world - and as such
he is not to get lost in the dark woods of the world,
forgetting the very object and the purpose he has to fulfil.
He should therefore strive, strain, exert every nerve to
attain Moksham, Mukti or Salvation or God realisation.
