Nanna, the embodiment of love experienced divine aspects of tattwa and explained to us in the simple way by which we can understand. He clearly pointed out how man can ascend and in which way he will descend too!
|
The first nine chapters of Bhagawata describe the sadhanas to reach God. One who does such sadhana with devotion will attain God's darshan as described in the tenth chapter. In the eleventh volume of this Bhagawata known as 'Nanna tho' - 'Our Association with Nanna', Nanna described the qualities of yearning, awareness, divine light, divine power, effortless awareness which are essential to reach God. This volume emphasizes that one who possesses these qualities will attain complete oneness with the Divine!

Nanna explained that the jeeva must remain passive towards the world and yet be linked with Mother in that passiveness. He passed on to us only what he experienced. He reiterated that our only dharma in life is to reach Mother; that is our final goal. According to tattwa, this body is not the real you. Body is different; you are different. Our relationships in this world are only due to destiny; by owing something in a previous birth. When that give and take is over, the relationship ends. You are watching the external world with a body that is not yours. Since you are attached towards the body, you are upset when you face disappointments and elated when you succeed. Man is filled with the ego that he achieved everything himself!

The first verse of Esavasopanishad states:
|
'Esavasyamidham sarvam' - Whatever is present in the world belongs only to God. Everything is his property. If you accept it as his blessing, there is no attachment, no sin. But if you enjoy it as if it belongs to you and you are responsible for its progress, then it becomes a cause for another birth as a karma. The Upanishad cautions that you cannot reach the real goal even after several births. We must link Mother with our life; She must be a part of our life. Live with the bhava that everything belongs to Mother; She is with me; watching me. My life is moving while I am in Her sight. This is the secret of dhyana yoga; this bhava is the mahamantra. This is Nanna's blessing to us!
|
He gave us the yoga which cannot be attained over several births in simple, easy and joyous path. Many devotees felt Nanna's presence and experienced exquisite joy while reading the volumes of this book. Even those who never saw Nanna experienced that bliss and had his darshan in their dream. Unless your heart is wide and pure, Mother will not shower Her grace.
|
It is very difficult to reproduce the speeches from the cassettes, particularly when Nanna's voice is not audible at some points. Rasamani listened to the cassettes again and again with reverence and devotion, put Nanna's words on paper and gave us an opportunity to read them. May Nanna shower his divine and loving blessings on her.
