EARLY BIRD CATCHES WORM

Early...  Early... Early... Be early in every thing. See how I enjoy, at Krishna Kant Park, cool breeze, pleasant atmosphere, beautiful sceneries with melodious chirps of colourful birds all around in the early hours of day break. When some internationally acclaimed top CEOs were interviewed, they disclosed that they would get up between three and four of early morn daily for walk, jog, yoga, take decisions about company matters.  Our sages stressed the importance of Brahmi Muhurta, for doing auspicious things with sure success.

As we know the oft repeated quote, "Jantunam nara janma durlabham", we must also be aware of the inlaid mission of this existence. And Annamacharya says in his sankeerana, "Chaduvu Lone Harini Jatti Gona Vale Gaka", that one must be shrewd enough to realise the Almighty in the early stage of education itself when  there are no entanglements of 'Sansara'. Otherwise the impediments of 'Bandhas' are difficult to overcome............

'It is wise to be aware of the purpose of one's  human birth even at the early stage of education; that one's precious chance of fulfilling this birth is in realising the Almighty and not in earning for transitory material possessions.  This should be as early as possible for, once one becomes head strong on account of the possessions and achievements it is hard to realise.

'For a dullard painful suffering of worldly bondages is natural.  In spite of the difficulties undergoing in this existence one should not lose sight of the pursuit of Liberation.  Is it not wise to winnow when the wind is high,  since no winnowing can be done when the wind is still?

'For the one plunged in the 'Sansara Sagara', his deeds of both piety and sin entwine him. Nevertheless, he has to make efforts gradually to divert to the right path of seeking Salvation.  The relations with wife, children and others are inseparable in one's life span,  but being with them with a sense of detachment, like a drop of water on the lotus leaf, should be inculcated with firm determination.  Time lost can never be retrieved back.

'For all the beings, the menace of sense organs is quite difficult to get rid of.  Still one can overcome this challenging situation by boldly diverting towards devotional path by being in the company of other seekers of the Almighty and fulfilling the real purpose of this existence.  Otherwise, one's life is wasted in perpetual bondages of births and deaths'.........

Message is clear! If we are the 'early bird', we are on the right spiritual path of Realisation about the Almighty Within!

"Chaduvu Lone Harini Jatti Gona Vale Gaka"

Early Bird Catches Worm !

Om Shanti!
