Feature of the week:
Importance of Human Birth

Inspired by the writings of Sri B.V. Hanumantha Rao in “Sri Sai Anusaranamu” .

“durlabam thraya me vaithe daivaanugrahaithukam manushyathvam mumukshathvam mahaapurusha samsrayam”

Human birth is fortunate, for it is the only form of life that is bestowed with the ability to question the known and yearn for the unknown.

This yearning, if sincere, will at one point raise the question of what is the objective of living and what has to be achieved by human life? What would be the achievement that is permanent and irreversible.

This pursuit for answers will lead one to a source and more fortunate are those who realize the significance of Sadguru as that repository of wisdom, the source of all answers.

A strong conviction that the help of a realized soul is indispensable for a holistic pursuit for answers will become clear to a seeker. The yearning can be called sincere only when the things of material nature will become less and less important gradually.

Realization that human body can cease to exist any time, will in a way help the seeker to make the best use of the medium. While a material man hankers after acquiring material wealth, the fortunate ones will be quick enough to understand the importance of human life and make the best use of it.

With the constant companionship of Sadguru, the virtuous master, fortunate ones begin their pursuit. In a short time, their focus will shift to the human virtues of truth, love, humility, forgiveness, charity, peace, and non-attachment. These fortunate ones will notice the changes in their nature as a result of their companionship with Sadguru.

The vices associated with worldly nature of the human body will slowly vanish and the virtues due to the companionship will begin to accrue. All the fears associated with earthly dealings will be slowly replaced by a sense of fearlessness. A state of being that is always fearless, happy and contended.
