- As part of summer
vacation, the Amdavad Kishore Mandal had successfully organised
a cricket tournament that involved all the kishores. Members
of the winning and runner-up teams had
come to Swamishri for blessings. The kishores asked two interesting
questions to Swamishri.
Q: Swami, what type of fielding should we do to catch
your agna?
A: The Amdavad Kishore Mandal organised a cricket tournament
to please Bhagwan Swaminarayan and Yogiji Maharaj. One can see
from the above question that the motive of the tournament was
to become spiritually conscious. Like Pujya Bhagatji Maharaj,
who instantly observed the agna of Gunatitanand Swami, we too
should do the same. One should have faith and trust in the Guru’s
word and not doubt his words. One's faith should be like the
agna of calling Girnar.
Q: Every time maya runs us out. What type of batting
should we do so that we don’t get out?
A: Gunatitanand Swami has said in his talks that when
one attains true knowledge one will not
get entrapped by maya. True knowledge means the knowledge of
atma and Parmatma.
Because we have deh bhava (body consciousness), maya runs us
out. One should have a firm resolve that no matter what difficulty
or pain comes, one’s atma bhava (atma conscousness) should remain
steadfast and the conviction that God is the all-doer and whatever
He does is
for one’s good.
