BODHAYANTI PARASPARAM
do whatever He wants to do, it is left to Him, it is the theory of kitten. The other one is the theory of monkey – trying to hold on to the Master by our effort. That also is a surrender but of an inferior order. That is not due to ‘Mahaviswasa’ at all, ‘Mahaviswasa’ is lacking in that monkey approach. It has got this much of faith that the mother monkey will take it so long as it holds on. To that extent alone is its faith. But in case of kitten the mother cat is capable of taking care of me. Whatever happens it is capable of taking care of me. This is of a superior order. To that order alone, to which you and I belong. I personally appeal that you accept this approach that alone is the ‘Mahaviswasa’. It doesn’t mean that you are not to do your ‘sadhana’, because many people come to that interesting conclusion, that if cat is capable of taking care of kitten, then why should the kitten bother about anything else? That is only an analogy. Analogies cannot be extended beyond certain limits. You shall do your duty but always resign yourself to the will of the God. Don’t say I am capable of clinging on to God always. Know that the divinity is yawning towards you. This yawning is what you feel as ‘Pranahuti’. That is the basis of our ‘Mahaviswasa’.
