Mela of devotees




Bhakt : Prabhu look at that. All over the world so many devotees gather at different places to worship. Some melas, some utsav, some mass prayers. You must be very happy Prabhu?

Bhagwan : Such a huge waste.

Bhakt : Waste ? But Prabhu isn't it fantastic. So many people praying. Such good feeling. How very religious it is.

Bhagwan : What is religious?

Bhakt : Prayers, celebrations etc. That make people happy. There is research going on. Everything for you, Prabhu.

Bhagwan : For me?

Bhakt : Yes Prabhu to become more spiritual, more pure, to please you, to make you happy, to get your blessings.

Bhagwan : Oh I didn't know that. All around the world these mass prayers, worships, kirtans, pravachan & discourses everything is to become more pure and to please me. But I do not see any purity. Humans are growing bad to worse. They are deep down in greed, lust, hatred. They have only mastered manipulation. And same they are doing to me. They are not trying to be pure or please me. They only want more and more. Even their spirituality & religion has become their ego, a status symbol. It gives them a feeling of high. This is nothing else but deception. And big business too. But yes, humans are good in celebrations. So if they get together, celebrate and enjoy, it is not bad.

Bhakt : But Prabhu ?

Bhagwan : Who are they trying to fool ? Me ? or them self ? Religion and spirituality is not bad but should be followed in right perspective. It is simple common sense. Do not fall prey to lust, greed, hatred. Do not deceive others. Do not snatch other's rights and share, perform your basic duties and love other beings. This is all common sense and this is what pleases me. This is complete spirituality and religion. Rest all is just presentation.

Bhakt : But Prabhu why do people do all that ?

Bhagwan : Ignorance or denial, these are the two reasons. Some do not know real meaning of spirituality others do not want to know as they have other motives. Unfortunately humans do not use common sense for being true spiritual and be happy.

Bhakt : Common sense Prabhu...  Naaraayan Naaraayan !!!
