Thoughts for the Day - 7th December 2007 (Friday)




When Bhaktas (devotees) pray to Bhagawan (God) sincerely making all their actions as offering to God, they will certainly receive appropriate grace from the Divine. There are nine types of devotion. Shravanam (listening to the glory of the Lord), Keerthanam (singing), Vishnusmaranam (remembering), Padasevanam (adoration), Vandanam (saluting), Archanam (worshipping), Dasyam (obedient service), Sneham (friendship) and Atmanivedanam (self-surrender). In whichever way you offer worship, God responds in the same way. When you surrender all your actions, you will surely receive His Grace.

Ketika para bhakta berdoa kepada Bhagawan (Tuhan) secara tulus sembari mempersembahkan setiap bentuk tindakan/perbuatan kepada-Nya, maka mereka pasti akan menerima rahmat yang setimpal dari Divine. Terdapat sembilan jenis bhakti atau devotion, yaitu: Shravanam (mendengarkan kemuliaan Tuhan), Keerthanam (bernyanyi), Vishnusmaranam (senantiasa ingat kepada-Nya), Padasevanam (memuja lotus Feet-Nya), Vandanam (penghormatan melalui pengkidungan nama-nama suci-Nya), Archanam (pemujaan terhadap aspek rupang-Nya), Dasyam (tindakan pelayanan), Sneham (persahabatan dengan-Nya) dan Atmanivedanam (penyerahan diri). Dengan cara bagaimanapun juga engkau beribadah, Tuhan akan memberikan response-Nya. Ketika engkau memasrahkan semua tindakanmu, maka engkau pasti akan menerima rahmat dari-Nya.
