SHORT LOVE STORY

How does "Self-Realization" look like for you NOW ?

In Shri Prannath Tartam Vani Shri Kuljam Swaroop, the soul of Indrawati becomes aware (Waking Up) of the need for her continual need for self-improvement (Cleaning Up) her inner and outer world as she realizes and appreciates (Growing Up) the gracefulness of her Supreme Beloved.

ज्यों ज्यों तुम कृपा करी,

मैं त्यों त्यों किए अवगुन।

तिन पर फेर तुम गुन किए,

मैं फेर फेर किए विघन।।किरंतन १००/८

A boy (Rajji Shyamaji) was dating a girl (soul) who always hurt him (by forgetting and Willfully neglecting him). One day, she (soul) broke up with him (chose a new religion or path) and told him, "I don't ever want to see you again." (Arguing, Other religions can make me rich and happy with their blessings!)

A few months later, the girl (soul) had a change of heart(which can happen for millions reasons). She realized that she loved the boy (Rajji), so she went back and said to him (Rajji), "Give me just one more chance. I love you and I need you. I promise that I will never hurt you again."

But the boy (Rajji) just laughed and said to her, "Only a fool would take back someone who hurt them so much."

The girl (soul) felt hopeless and began to cry, but the boy (Rajji) put his arms around her, held her tightly and said, "...and I am one of those fools."

So, How does "Self-Realization" look like for us?

Acknowledging areas for improvement

ज्यों ज्यों तुम कृपा करी,

मैं त्यों त्यों किए अवगुन।

Acknowledging Potential of Beloved's Grace

तिन पर फेर तुम गुन किए,

मैं फेर फेर किए विघन।।किरंतन १००/८

"Self-Realization" begins with believing what Rajji has promised

आसिक मेरा नाम,

रूह-अल्ला आसिक मेरा नाम।

इस्क मेरा रूहन सों,

मेरा उमत में आराम।।खिलवत १५/१

"Self-Realization" begins with believing Rajji's commitment for us

रूहों मैं रे तुमारा आसिक,

मैं सुख सदा तुमें चाहों।

वास्ते तुमारे कई विध के,

इस्क अंग उपजाओं।। सिंगार २९/ १

"Self-Realization" begins with knowing deep within that Rajji's Will doesn't know anything else but love.

हक को काम और कछू नहीं,

देवें रूहों लाड़ लज्जत।

ए तो बिगर चाहे सुख देत हैं,

तो मांग्या क्यों न पावत।। सिंगार २४/२८

Shri Indrawati grew up, woke up, cleaned up for herself and now she is "showing up" and "opening up" for all of us.

Such is our path to realization of Nijanand.

Sada Anand Mangal Main Rahiye.
