Contd from 17-09-14........ E- Satsang members missed out all our previous postings can read them in my timeline.... SPECIAL QUESTION no 312: Can one attain self-realization in this birth itself just by chanting the mahamantra? How should the Mahamantra be chanted so that realization happens? Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji: Chanting the Maha Mantra for attaining liberation is not a process. We believe in the soul, life after death, sins, karma, Good and Bad deeds, other worlds, re-birth, liberation and similar concepts. Why? Because it has been prescribed in the Scriptures. Why do we believe in the Scriptures? Because that is verily God’s mouthpiece Hence anything prescribed in the Scriptures, should be taken as the eternal law and the final verdict, without questioning it any further. One should not apply his intellect here. Let me give you this illustration. A beggar comes to our door and begs for alms. What do we do? Do we care about his pitch and intonation or the number of times he calls out? No. If we are merciful enough and are in a position to help, we provide alms. That is all. Is it not? In exactly the same way, by chanting the Mahamantra, we declare our incapacity to overcome this ignorance called ‘Maya’ by our own efforts and condescendingly beseech Him for His divine grace and help. The Lord Almighty is an infinite ocean of love and mercy. After you are done with enjoying the fruits of your karma according to your ‘prarabdha’ (Past deeds), in your deathbed, He will give you wisdom (Jnana) and dispassion (Vairagya) in a fraction of a second and liberate you, just as Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi, liberated his own mother and the cow Lakshmi. !!!
