Discourse by Param Poojya Aniruddha Bapu on 30th July 2009
On the Thursday of 3rd July 2009, Param Poojya Aniruddha Bapu delivered His discourse as usual again at New English High School ground at Bandra East, Mumbai.
Param Poojya Aniruddha Bapu first explained the importance of Lord scolding His children. Bapu said that “He” scolds only those who are “His” children.
P. P. Bapu also said that His mother Goddess Anusaya loves Him the most because He abides by all the laws and rules that have been laid down by the The Almighty, Lord Dattaguru. P. P. Bapu defined Samarthya (strength and power) as the act of abiding by the laws and rules that have been laid down by the The Almighty, Lord Dattaguru.
P. P. Bapu also described Goddess Chandika as the one who makes all the humans abide by the laws and rules that have been laid down by the The Almight, Lord Dattaguru. P. P. Bapu also said that Goddess Chandika is the one who finishes the shortfalls (Abhav) in our life.
Then P. P. Bapu went on to explain one story of Shreshtha Bhakta Meenatai Dabholkar:
“Meenatai used to love Bapu immensely. Out of this love she offered everything, every morsel of food, every sip of drink (water, etc) and even every breathe of air to Bapu. One day it so happened that Meenatai ate few salted cashewnuts without offering them to Bapu. Immediately she grieved her act. She said to herself, that whatever is consumed without offering to Bapu should be considered poison. So she immediately drank 4-5 glasses of salt water, which would make her vomit. But she didn’t puked. So then she inserted her fingers in her windpipe and tried to vomit but still she was unable to puke. At that same time the doorbell rang and Meenatai came out to open the door. To her amazement there was Bapu Himself at the door. Bapu entered in the house and gave Meenatai a packet of salted cashewnuts. He said that I liked your cashews a lot and I have brought few of them specially for you to eat.
This story is a milestone for the devotees to make them understand, that what should be the amount of love in the relationship between a mother and a son and between Lord and His devotee. Further this also demonstrates to us that while consuming every morsel of food, every sip of drink (water, etc) and even every breathe of air one should always remember Lord and further offer the same to Him. While doing so one should neither think that He (The Lord) doesn’t get any food to eat nor one should think that as He is Lord He is capable arranging for His own food, rather one should think as to what all can I return to Him from everything that He has given me.
