Imagine a 20-20 cricket match that awaits a result
from 2 balls. The runs to be scored are 5.The home crowd is set ablaze. They
transform their desire to the batsman on the crease and immediately the batsman
is awakened and he does the magic: the team wins.
The scene is shifted to a spiritual Bhajan-chanting
of Hindus where they sing the praise of the Lord to their heart’s elate. Here,
too, a transformation takes place, not from a person to another;it is rather
intra-personal- an internal transformation: he awakens his own self ie.the
Bhajan awakens the God consciousness in the singer.
Bjajan is a good opportunity for a common man to awaken
his deep lying divinity and feel the bliss-SATCHITANANDAM
free of cost.
Bhajan is not a trade between God and man: ‘Oh Almighty,
if you give me this, I shall believe in
your greatness and you shall be worshipped.’ The Bhajan helps us to realize the
oneness- consciousness that is spread among various creatures through a single
thread.
The Hindu-wise men are trained to feel the same
bliss by means of meditation, karma and realizing and experiencing the
scriptural injunctions.
When we raise ourselves to the
higher-consciousness, we become spiritual beings and when we lower ourselves to
the material world we become human beings.
When the spirit within us is uplifted we realize
the eternity. This is the realization of the Mahavakyas:
Aham Brahmasmi(I am God consciousness),
Tatvamasi (You are what you are searching),
Pranjanam Bramha(You are
Consciousness) and
Ayamathma Brahma(you are Brahma –God
consciousness).
