 Sri Ramchandra's Rajayoga: The Natural Path of God Realisation
Lecture delivered at the Dakshin Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha Hall, Tennur, Thiruchirapalli on Saturday the 28th January, 1967.
As Dr. Radhakrishnan has stated it, firstly we have to know the past and then secondly we have to forget it.
I have had a philosophical past. I just now have a human present. So all that has been spoken about those things, which I had learnt and acquired so far, has been a preparation for renunciation of all of them. We have to enter the kingdom of Grace. Rightly he has said that the most important path for a natural life is to love all. To be able to love others out of the fullness of one's heart, out of a great sympathy for the sufferings of ills of others, that is a great thing no doubt. As Prof. Sarma has rightly said, to love is something terrific. To be the thing to be loved is much more difficult. God is Love, it is said, and Love is God. "Anbe Sivam, Anbe Deivam". But the misfortune with us is that the world is full of sorrow and misery, of troubles and sufferings and miseries. Then where is God's love, which is supposed to be enfolding me till death?
If anybody asks me if I love, No! How many can die? If every girl is fascinated by a bright boy or if every boy is fascinated by a bright girl, my first question is can you die for me. If God loves me, He dies for me. And if I love Him, I must die for Him. Therefore we see the impossibility of Love. Yet we are told in sweeter and sweeter words that God is Love and Love is God, and Love conquers all, and all that. All this of course does some good, but not enough.
What took me to this particular system is what you will be hearing about. I have done my work in a small section, entirely that of God Realization. As Sri Ramanuja has said, I found that what Sri Ramanuja taught me was that the union with God is the most important, and you must be able to establish it. Swami Vivekananda has written most beautifully about it. He has said that man is the temple of God!
