The Uttarayan and Technology of God
Friends, Happy Makar Sankranti!
The Akshar once compared the "bhakta" (devotee) with a kite. Gunatit Swami said,
"... Just as a kite is always attached to the person flying it through thread even if it is hundreds of meters away, the same way a devotee is attached to God through His "agaya" (orders) thread... "
We understand the technology of staying in touch with our dear ones. We understand technology of phones, emails and social networking.
But what about the technology of God? How can you stay in touch with Him 24x7??
His technology is different. If you abide by His laws, you are always with Him. It is the connection wire with you and God. Bhagwan Swaminarayan used to say, "જો કોઈ અમારા ઢોલિયાની પાસે જ બેસતો હોય, પણ જો એ અમારી આજ્ઞામાં નથી તો અમારાથી કરોડ ગણો દુર છે અને જો કોઈ અમારી ઘણી દૂર રહેતો હોય પરંતુ જો એ આજ્ઞામાં છે તો હમેશા અમારી પાસે જ છે.." Like if a kite is lying near you but unless not connected with a thread, it is not under your control. But the same kite, if connected with a thread, is flown several hundred meters away, will always be yours.
This is the divine technology of God and the God-communion Sadhu.. :)
On this auspicious day of Makar Sankrant, let all of us pray that we always stay connected with God and Swami with this thread of agya and let no one in this world cut this thread!
Remember,
Orders of God = Our connecting thread to him
For a kite, thread is not the limitation to reach high in sky. It's a license to fly high. If it cuts, kite will be down only. Same way, our niyams (rules) given by God are not our bandhan (limitation), but for our good.
