30.01.02, 7.30 A.M, Guntur ashram:
|
Nanna was immersed in the ocean of Ras, drenching everyone around him in that Ras of love. His face was glowing with Divine love. We were all watching the benign face of Radha Sakhi (Nanna) with doted eyes, entranced by that attraction.
|
Nanna was describing the depths of the divine love thus
|
|
"
I don’t want anything else. I want only Mother. I love Mother’s sakhis almost as much as I love Her. This pleases Her. After I go to Mother, I will pray for all of you there. I want you also to experience the bliss of ecstasy that I shall enjoy there. You should always feel that love whenever you see anyone. That divine love is not like the petty love found in this world.
"
|
Suddenly a devotee Sriranga was overwhelmed by Nanna’s words and said, ‘We love you Nanna’. Listening to this Nanna smiled. She repeated ‘We love you Nanna’.
|
|
"
Replace the word ‘love’ with ‘like’
"
|
.. Nanna said.But she reiterated more firmly, ’No. We love you Nanna’
|
|
"
My dear girl, you do not understand what is love. Most of them in this world do not know what is love. As long as you are attracted towards the materialistic world, you cannot attain bhav. Give up the ‘materialism’ and hold onto bhav. I do not love your form, I love the love within you. Such selfless love is known as ‘Radha bhav’ . Once, a leper girl brought snacks (pakoras) to offer me. I ate them by holding her hand. The leprosy is for her body, not for her love. My love is the same even for a leper. Many people are in the nascent, bud stage. The bud should blossom and shower the nectar of love. Then Mother will be very pleased.
"
|
While Nanna was telling this absorbed in ras of love, we were simply stunned to hear it.
|
What great love this is? He cannot be happy unless we too experience the divine bliss like him! Even a leper cannot create a feeling of disgust in him! Perhaps Nanna is always in the state of bhav. I am overwhelmed. Nanna himself is both the definition and description of the word ‘Love’.
|
Nanna then explained Divine love citing an instance in his life.
|
|
"
The love of Jesus Christ is very great. He is the loving person who prayed to God even for those who made him suffer by crucifying him and denying him even water – ‘O God! Forgive them. They know not what they are doing’. A true Christian with such selfless love is rarely found these days. At times I feel that I am a true Christian. I recollect one incident in my life. When I was about 15 years old, studying SSLC, I taught Maths to a girl named Elizabeth. Her father, Mr Gunn was a very wealthy man. Elizabeth insisted on marrying me. Since she was the only daughter, her father yielded to her wish and requested me to marry her. He said that I need not even convert my religion.
"
|
|
"
I went to Elizabeth and spoke to her in a peculiar state of bhav thus: ‘I have more love for you than you have for me. I shall treat you like a queen in my heart. But that love is not like the one you feel. It is not transient love that will remain today and perish tomorrow. My love for you will not change even if your body and age does! Love is Divine. This body and marriage are trash.” Elizabeth shed tears, saluted me and left. Till date I have the same love for her. Such love pleases Mother. Nanna said, his eyes glowing with Divine love.
"
|
Just like Nanna once said “Language is always subordinate to Bhav”, words fall short to comment the divine love incarnate, Nanna who explicitly explained about eternal love and its relationship with soul, at a tender age of 15.
|
31.01.02: The next day also continued to make everybody taste the sweetness of love and understand its profundity,
|
It is very difficult to attain the love of the Supreme Mother. Once attained, it is permanent. She will never forget.
|
“Nanna, if we unknowingly commit a mistake and repent for it, will Mother forgive us?” I asked.
|
|
"
“In Mother’s world there is no question of forgiving or not. There is no other bhav except love. The heart should be pure and clean. Any small scar on the heart will not allow you to enter Mother’s world. Mother’s love is very great. It is selfless and permanent. We also should adopt such divine love towards other human beings. Mother will be pleased. The loving Mother is our highest Guru. We have a bond with Mother since many lives. Though man forgets Her, She is the true Mother who is always with him. Constantly be in the thought that ‘Mother, though I cannot see you, you are seeing me. You will never leave me ‘This is the true path of Yoga. It is the true path for salvation. Mother alone is my Guru. Mother is my Ultimate God. I have realized this truth after thoroughly reading the Vedas. The love shown by Mother towards us has no limits. “ Nanna said ,eyes glittering with the love of Sri Radha ras.
