भरोनि सद्भावाची अंजुळी…….!
भरोनि सद्भभावाची अंजुळी
मियां वोंवियां फुलें मोकळीं
अपिॅलीं अंघि्युगुलीं
विषवरूपाचा
ThIs is a beautiful verse while concluding the eleventh chapter of the Bhagwad Geeta, where Sri Dnyaneshwar Maharaj pays obeisance unto the Cosmic Form. Indeed, after witnessing the all pervading, all powerful and eternal Cosmic Form Arjuna was overwhelmed with devotion unto the Lord of Lords, Bhagavan Sri Krishna.
Sri Dnyanadev summarises those benign feelings and offers those at the Lotus Feet of the Lord.
He stresses the word ‘Sad-Bhav’, meaning goodwill in short. Indeed, nurturing goodwill with each and everyone is the key to everlasting peace and happiness. Swami too has exhorted us to ‘Help ever, hurt never’ or ‘Love all, Serve all’. We can at least refrain ourselves from hurting anyone through our speech, actions, gestures – even thoughts! Perhaps that would be the pre-requisite for nurturing goodwill. In fact, the Vedic Prayer – ‘Let all the worlds be ever happy’ connotes this very doctrine.
The core message in “Think Positive” is the Goodwill we nurture unto ourselves and ‘others’ too. If ever we come to realise that there indeed is none ‘other’, there won’t be any problem to nurture goodwill. However, that exactly is the problem ! We often fail to realise the ‘unity’ in all the ‘diversity’ around. We are not aware of the various vibrations immanent all around. My dear mother used to say that we are surrounded by both good and evil forces or vibrations that be. Moreover, those keep repeating “Tathaastu” (Be it so) !
Now, if we think good the blessing is obvious; whereas, if the thinking is evil, malicious, wicked- then the outcome is naturally evil, malicious and wicked!
Thinking good for everyone, praying for them always always helps. In fact both are blessed.
I like the Verse mentioned above because
Sri Dnyanadev prays unto the Cosmic Form of the Lord.
