Sadhana Karu Pyare Part - 11

"Swami Mukundananda in this episode explains following lines:
जग में कतहूँ राग जनि करू, द्धेष जनि करू प्यारे ।
हरि में गुरु में ही रहे नित, रक्त तव मन प्यारे ।
सदा सोचहु जाने कब छिन, जाय तनु यह प्यारे ।
मन को मनु शत्रु उसकी, सुनहु जनि कछु प्यारे ।

The mind should be attached to the divine realm alone, nowhere else in the world. Neither to the family nor to the worldly object nor to prestige or material situation. Shree Krishna has repeatedly said in Bhagavad Gita that if a person engages in single minded devotion of God, He will take full care of that person. He further says, "I am easily attained by those who practices single-minded devotion.

Sadhana karu Pyare Part - 10

तृणादपि सुनिचेन तरोरपि सहिस्नुन अमानिन मानदेन कीर्तनीय सदा हरि

1. Consider yourself to be more insignificant than a blade of grass and become more tolerant than a tree.
2. Give respect to others but do not seek respect for yourself.
3. Always chant God's name.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in his "Shikshashtaka" stated these 3 points as basic principles for a devotee.

तृण से बढ़ कर दीनता उर, राख नित ही प्यारे ।
वृक्ष से बढ़ कर सहिष्णु, भाव भी हो प्यारे ।
सब को दो सम्मान आपुन, मान जनि चहु प्यारे ।

Now, five hundred years later, Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj repeats the same principles in these lines of "Sadhana Karu Pyare" (साधना करु प्यारे).

Sadhana Karu Pyare Part-9

It is not that God is watching us sometimes, He is watching us all the time. Bring this thought into your conscious awareness. At present we have the awareness of "I am" but we escape the thought of "God and Guru are with me". We need to practice thinking "God is with me". As a result, our mind will be attached to God-Guru while we do our daily chores and we will automatically start offering our works to Him. This is the state of Karmyoga.

Sadhana Karu Pyare Part-8

In this episode of the series of discourses on Kripaluji Maharaj's kirtan "Sadhana Karu Pyare"(साधना करु प्यारे), Swami Mukundananda says covers these lines:
दरस हित लग एक पलहूँ, कलप सम तोहिं प्यारे ।
चर अचर में लखहु अपनो, इष्ट कहँ नित प्यारे ।
As you keep these principles (explained in previous episodes of the series), your longing for Sri Krishna will keep increasing. It should increase to the point where one moment seems like an age. Such longing will take you to Sri Krishna. In other words, deep longing for God will unite you with God. Swamiji further explains how deep should be the longing.

Sadhana Karu Pyare Part-6

Even by mistake, do not do durbhawana (ill will) anywhere. Bringing ill will in mind is as bad as developing attachment to the world. Attachment to the world comes in many form. It can come in the form of attraction or repulsion. In both cases the mind goes to the world.

Lines covered in this episode:
भूलिहूँ दुर्भावना कहुँ , हो न सपनेहुँ प्यारे ।
लखहु जनि परदोष कबहूँ, दोष निज लखु प्यारे ।
जगत ते मन को हटा कर, लगा हरि में प्यारे ।
इसी का अभ्यास पुनि पुनि, करु निरन्तर प्यारे ।

Sadhana Karu Pyare Part-5

In this episode of the series of discourses on Kripaluji Maharaj's kirtan "Sadhana Karu Pyare"(साधना करु प्यारे), Swami Mukundananda talks about techniques of receiving God's Grace.

Lines covered in this episode:
परम व्याकुलता बढ़ाओ, हरि दरस कि प्यारे ।
रोके उनते प्रेम माँगो, दरस माँगो प्यारे ।
ह्वै के अति व्याकुल करहु नित, करुण क्रन्दन प्यारे ।
माँगु जनि उन भुक्ति मुक्तिन, भूलिहुँ तुम प्यारे ।

Child only knows about his requirements, he doesn't know about how to fulfill it. So when a child needs something he cries. And when a child cries, his mother immediately comes for help. Similarly the Divine Grace intervenes only when you are at the end of your resources.

Sadhana karu Pyare Part-4

In this episode of the series of discourses on Kripaluji Maharaj's kirtan "Sadhana Karu Pyare"(साधना करु प्यारे), Swami Mukundananda talks about desires and acquiring higher desires for God.
Giving up desire is only half the story. When the scriptures say, "give up desire" it means give up the degrading kinds of desires-those that pull the mind down. They don't say, give up the desire for God or God's knowledge. These are the right kind of desires. Those desires have to be enhanced. That after all, is spirituality and devotion.

Sadhana Karu Pyare Part-3

In the third episode of the series of discourses on Kripaluji Maharaj's kirtan "Sadhana Karu Pyare"(साधना करु प्यारे), Swami Mukundananda says that in order to conquer mind we need God's grace. For that we need to take mind towards God or meditate upon God. He emphasizes that, the proper form of meditation is to meditate upon the form of God. This is also the way to conquer or tame the mind.

                               प्रथम करु हरि ध्यान मन ते, जैसी रूचि हो प्यारे ।
                               ध्यान ही है साधना का, प्राण जीवन प्यारे ।
                               ध्यान बिनु सब साधना है, प्राण बिनु तनु प्यारे ।
                               मन को जो भाये बना लो, रूप वैसा प्यारे ।
                               सामने हरि को बिठा कर, साधना करू प्यारे ।
