My Life Is My Message
Truth and devotion
What i think, i must speak and what i speak, i must act… this is Trikarana Suddhi, purity and unity of the three essential faculties of man, viz., thought, word and deed. Bhagawan has always been in the forefront, practising what He preaches, not by being ‘liable’ or ‘duty bound’, but purely by being Love HimSelf. On 5th June 2005 Prasanthi Nilayam witnessed something unique, when Our Beloved Bhagawan plunged ‘HimSelf’ into a unique action, acting HimSelf out His dictum ‘My Life Is My Message’. Reproducing a beautiful ‘Darshan’ story from 2005.
World is a big stage and we have greater lessons to learn watching it. With Bhagawan, one has to be on a constant watch, as every moment is counted and if one is focused, he will have lessons galore to learn and imbibe.
After a momentous Thursday, the day when Bhagawan decided to bless the University Campus in Prasanthi Nilayam with His Divine visit, came a pleasant Friday. Though summer’s clutch was loosened, it has not left the spiritual township completely and the day’s weather was a mix and by the time for evening Darshan , it turned cool again with ominous signs of imminent rains.
Bhagawan came out just after 1630 hrs. before coming onstage for a brief spell, watching and blessing the students chanting Vedam . Bhajans started at the scheduled 1700 hrs. and Bhagawan came on stage once again. …And following Him came the rainy showers lashing from the heavens as if the mythical ‘Rain God’ was waiting for the Over Lord to come and decorate His dais. Lashing rains with strong winds splashed the rainy drops all around bringing in renewed natural freshness all over. With Bhagawan on stage granting static Darshan , with mellifluous bhajans on, hundreds of devotees outside the main gate next to the Sita-Rama statue got stranded in the lashing rains, leaving them completely drenched.
Bhagawan, The Silent Witness He Is ever, was waiting as He had something to demonstrate, a unique visiting card of His Love and Compassion. Even as the bhajans continued, He was glued to the main gate watching the hundreds getting ‘drenched’. For the onlookers, it was something uniquely strange, that He was physically focused on His devotees, watching the rainy celebration. Who would know what was happening inside of Him, as from inside ‘out’ Bhagawan was bathing them in His indefinable Gaze Of Love!
Sevadal volunteers were disciplined enough to maintain ‘peace’, especially with Bhagawan onstage, watching the melee. Lord AlMighty He Is, and His Heart Is nothing but Love n’ Compassion, it was time for action!
Bhagawan soon sent word to the security to break the cordon, allowing the stranded devotees inside to occupy the vacant area near the Sita-Rama statue. The Prasanthi Nilayam Security, being conventional following the ‘laid’ discipline in letter and spirit, allowed the gents in, leaving the ladies out. In Prasanthi Nilayam, as a matter of customary discipline, gents and ladies are not allowed to mix-up in the Darshan hall. Watching this security ‘drama’, Bhagawan sent special instructions ‘to break the deep cordon’, allowing the devout ladies in, allowing them to occupy one side of the vacant spot! Action done and lessons imparted, leaving the onlookers to take the best out of the ‘drama’.
Bhajans went on till 1750 hrs. when Bhagawan indicated for Mangala Arathi . Post the Arathi Bhagawan’s compassionate loving gaze continued to shower on the special group, who are the recipients of a special ‘rain-packed-blessing’ from the Lord Supreme in His earthly Abode, right outside His Sanctum Sanctorum!!! Our Lord Of Compassion was not in a mood to stop. He moved unto them next, granting them the DARSHAN of their lives… and one could hear ecstatic hearts, drenched in Pure Love, chanting Jaikars of infinite gratitude, that reverberated Prasanthi in the rain-hit twilight.
The Lord Who penned the thematic value-oriented drama ‘Cheppinattu Chestara’ during His teen years, meaning ‘do i follow what i speak’, Who HimSelf followed His ‘own’ dictum, ‘Love All Serve All, Help Ever Hurt Never’, demonstrated it in action yet again, out in public, leaving the best of the lessons for the world around.

The Mantra Of True Truth Aspirants – A Path of Sincere Living
Every spiritual journey begins with a question: “What is real, and how should I live?” This question may look simple, but it has the power to change an entire life. The Mantra Of True Truth Aspirants points toward a life built on sincerity, purity, self-examination, and steady faith. It is not merely a phrase to repeat; it is a reminder to live in such a way that thoughts, words, and actions move closer to truth.
A truth aspirant is not someone who only speaks about spirituality. A real seeker tries to practice it in daily life. Such a person may have weaknesses, doubts, and struggles, but they do not stop walking. They fall, learn, pray, correct themselves, and continue. The journey is not about appearing perfect before others. It is about becoming honest before one’s own conscience.
The Mantra Of True Truth Aspirants teaches that truth must first be accepted within. Many people want the world to be honest with them, but they avoid honesty with themselves. They hide their anger behind excuses, their jealousy behind criticism, and their fear behind pride. The first step toward truth is inner courage. A seeker must be willing to look at the mind clearly and admit, “This needs to change.”
Truth is not harshness. Some people use truth as a weapon and hurt others in the name of honesty. But real truth carries compassion. It corrects without cruelty and guides without humiliation. A true aspirant speaks carefully, because words can either heal or wound. When truth is joined with love, it becomes wisdom. When truth is separated from love, it can become ego.
The Mantra Of True Truth Aspirants also reminds us that spiritual progress is made through discipline. Devotion should not remain only in songs, prayers, or emotional moments. It must enter habits. Waking with gratitude, speaking kindly, working honestly, serving quietly, forgiving sincerely, and controlling harmful desires are all part of the path. Small daily choices shape the inner life more than occasional big declarations.
In the modern world, truth is often adjusted for convenience. People may change their words to gain approval, hide facts to protect their image, or follow trends even when the heart knows they are wrong. A truth aspirant cannot live like that for long. The conscience becomes restless when life moves away from integrity. Peace returns only when the person chooses what is right, even if it is difficult.
The Mantra Of True Truth Aspirants is also a call to humility. The more a person grows spiritually, the less they feel the need to show superiority. They understand that everyone is learning at a different speed. They do not mock those who are struggling. Instead, they offer patience, kindness, and encouragement. Humility keeps devotion pure. Without humility, even spiritual knowledge can become pride.
A sincere seeker understands that truth is not limited to one place, one person, or one outer form. Truth shines wherever love, purity, and selflessness are present. It can be seen in a mother’s sacrifice, a worker’s honesty, a child’s innocence, a saint’s silence, or a devotee’s service. The eyes must become pure to recognize it. When the heart becomes clean, ordinary life starts revealing sacred lessons.
There will be tests on this path. Sometimes truth may cost comfort. Sometimes honesty may bring criticism. Sometimes doing the right thing may feel lonely. But the soul becomes stronger through such tests. A person who stands with truth may lose temporary approval, but gains inner strength. That strength cannot be purchased, borrowed, or pretended. It is earned through sincere living.
The Mantra Of True Truth Aspirants gives special importance to selfless service. Truth is not complete if it remains locked inside personal meditation alone. It must flow outward as compassion. Helping someone in need, listening to someone in pain, feeding the hungry, protecting nature, and treating all beings with respect are practical expressions of truth. Service removes selfishness and reminds us that life is interconnected.
Prayer also becomes deeper when it is honest. A seeker need not use impressive words before the Divine. A simple prayer from a sincere heart is enough. “Guide me, purify me, make me useful” can become a powerful offering. The Divine does not need decorated language. The Divine responds to purity, surrender, and genuine longing.
The Mantra Of True Truth Aspirants finally asks us to live without inner division. What we believe, what we say, and what we do should slowly become one. This unity brings peace. When there is no conflict between conscience and conduct, life becomes lighter. The face becomes calmer, the speech becomes softer, and the heart becomes fearless.
In the end, truth is not a distant mountain; it is a path beneath our feet. Every honest thought, every loving word, and every selfless action takes us closer. A true aspirant does not wait for a perfect time to begin. They begin now, with the next choice, the next word, the next act of kindness. That is how the journey becomes sacred, and life becomes a living prayer.
