Well, here at Kauai Aadheenam, this is Monday, September 14. It is a very
good day. It is a creative work day, a siddhayoga day, a Kadavul Ardra
Abhishekam day and a family home evening, mooleamnea 5398564329321711 ....
whatever that may means! It is a wonderful day and we began today, 'Merging
with Siva'. After we have our darshan together, I am looking at you and you
are looking at me, go to the lesson of the day and we will see Day 155 of
'Merging with Siva'. I read it, just for you and we hope that we can
continue this, Siva permitting, Ganesa permitting, Lord Muruga permitting,
day after day after day after day.
Has it ever occurred to you that you are a wonderful person? Has it ever
occurred to you that you can do anything that you set your mind to,
providing that it is within dharma? You have the support of Gurus, Swamis,
Gods and Devas. You have that support, if you are working within dharma.
What is dharma? We published a little book called, 'Living with Siva'. If
you would like a copy, write to us for 'Living with Siva'. We will mail you
a copy, free of charge. We are putting a little button here, so that you can
put your name and address down and we will send you a copy of 'Living with
Siva'. It gives you Saiva dharma. This is the dharma that the Hindus of Sri
Lanka and India have practiced for hundreds of years. India has a strong
culture, a culture that built great temples, a peaceful culture.
When you are living in dharma, you can do momentous things. You will
surprise yourself with your achievements. When you are living outside of
dharma, you are bound by the past. You are bound by fears of the future. You
are bound by division. "Shall I do that? Shall I do this? Shall I not do
this? Shall I do something else?" Dharma is the law. It is the spiritual
law. Dharma is found in the Vedas. All through, the Vedas speak of dharma.
So, you are a wonderful person. The choice is yours. Live within the law,
God's law. Not outside of God's law and reap the consequences, which may not
be nice. If you are now living outside of God's law and reaping the
consequences, today you can change. You can change today. Today is the day
that you can change. Make up your mind, a firm decision. I will help you. I
am helping you, right now. Otherwise, our karmas would not be connecting at
this very moment, our darshans would not be. I am seeing you, you are seeing
me. Make up your mind to be strong. Be a leader. Lead yourself first, then
others will follow.
