Why do we need a saint.
You know, when you were a child, you needed A TEACHER for right from learning the letter A. Digit 1,2,3….. Why?

I am a Hindu and I am proud to belong to a religion which does not ask its followers to work for converting people of other faith to Hindu faith. A person is born in a particular faith. I fully grant the person freedom of changing his or her faith if he or she is not satisfied in born faith. But that should be his or her free will. There should be no exploitation, no instigation or no threat by others. Aurangzeb killed sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji when they refused to convert to Islam.
Life is like an optical illusion or Maya. What you see is, what is actually not what it is. God is the magician and we are all audiences and volunteers in a magic show of HIS. The only difference between the earthly magic show and the divine magic show is that, in the earthly magic show, everything a magician does is temporary and will have to return to the original state. Whereas the divine magic show is permanent.
It is said and every one is believing it also that God has created life partner for each and everyone, and that’s the main reason one don’t know who will be their life partner and from which part of the world it will be, whether it will be tall or short, fair or black, loveable or of fighting nature, etc. The god has created someone for everybody on this earth and when the time comes one get the right or wrong, they are lucky enough if it is as per their choice otherwise curse on the bad luck throughout the life.
Our action also brings about a change in our mind. Every action that we perform makes the instinct of the same behaviour stronger each time. Thus we are forced to perform the same kind of action in future. Thus our past deeds decide our tendency to act or react.
To be more precise,
1. Presentation of sufferings or happiness is not something over which one has control
2. How to react to situation is in one’s control.
The second factor also has two divisions:
1. Mind’s tendency to react according to past deeds
Body of Happiness
God is happiness incarnate. The happiness itself assumes a body, which we call Shri Krishna or God. His eyes are made of happiness, ears of happiness, skin of happiness, hair of happiness so he is happiness in and out and that is too never-ending happiness, never-ending excitement, never-ending thrill. To seek God is to seek such boundless happiness. To be happy forever!
O! Krishna! I love you! Whatever you do to me, I’ll love you. If you want to continue till eternity, I accept the challenge!
LOVE is Living On Volcanic Emotions! 🙂
Where do we lose?
It is said that in KaliYug, it is most easy to seek God. But we find that there are hardly any who actually strive for God. The simple reason is lack of knowledge of the reservoir that God has with him. Each and everything that we wish to have is available with God. And he is willing to give us everything that he has like a mother would do. But we never get any where near God.
How do we lose the game?
First loss: Our attachments to our family members and putting them above the direction of a saint.
Second loss: Do not keep promises given to saints.
Two Doers and Single Responsibility
There are two types doers. One is direct and another is indirect. For example, electricity makes computer work (indirect doer). However, the electricity is not responsible for the outcome of the software. Programmer or operator (direct doer) is responsible for outcome of software.
