You know the transitory nature of success or failure, riches or poverty, joy or grief, appointment or disappointment. You are not elated or deflated. You are serene, unmoved. Anything that helps you to maintain this unruffled stability is Dharma.’ To realise that the world is a transient stage, helps one not to get attached to success or sorrow. Swami has said, ‘You should not get lost in the world aspiring for impermanent joys, impermanent wealth, impermanent position and luxuries. So long as you are alive you can enjoy the joys which come your way. So long as you still have some body attachment, you will also have some attachment to a place or country. So long as you still consider this world made up of the five elements as real, you will have to take care of your body which also consists of these five elements. But truly you should not waste your time dwelling on these things. You should always remember the goal.’ Hence this line in the song urges man to execute his Dharmic roles to perfection and yet such a role played or enacted cannot be considered true righteous action. There are people extremely regimented and working in the world outside with tight and confined boundaries. They excellently pour out into the world results expected of them by others but their one weakness is that they cannot tolerate imperfections in others. Such an individual will forever be irritated and upset. When their grievance is heard their actions may be justifiable and the blame rightly should fall on others but it is important to note that everyone is God’s creation. Each one takes their own time to bloom. Each one is coping with their own karmic forces and it is important for us to take all this into consideration. Hence the fact that the Dharma is used in this line already indicates the various roles one has to take. For example let us take the role of a father or a husband. The role of a husband must mean that the role deals with his wife while the role of a father must mean that it is with reference to his child. In fact all roles man takes must be with reference to other roles. Hence an individual plays multiple roles in life similar to a stage show where the actor relates and inter-relates with all other actors and actresses, and also plays different roles in different plays. Obviously the woof and warp of living is the intricate matrix of human relationship which demand not only that the roles be played to excellence but also with understanding and love which is why the line in the song begins with Daya Dharma. Swami says, ‘Compassion (daya) is the highest Dharma. A heart filled with compassion is the temple of the divine. Every man should have a compassion-filled heart.’ Therefore the Dharmic roles unless one executes it with compassion however right or righteous cannot be termed `Sat Karma’-i.e. bring forth the true consequence of the actions. The advice is extremely timely - for Swami says, `This is the age of `Kala’ which is often described as `Kalaha’ Yuga, the age of discord in which there will be misunderstanding and quarrels between husband and wife, father and son, preceptor and disciple. Giving up the quarrelsome attitude, people must cultivate love and compassion and shine as embodiments of love which they really are. The heart is termed as `Hradaya’ in which `Daya’ (compassion) is in built. Only when one has `daya’ or compassion towards others, can it be deemed fit to be called a human being.’ In this modern age and time, people search for faults more in others than in themselves. There are people, upon finding the fault in others, continue to condemn and humiliate with negativity. We must come to realise that our purpose must be to correct and not to condemn. It may be Dharmic to correct a person, to scold the wrong doer etc. The President of a Sai Centre or a company may feel he is doing his Dharma as a leader to scold, punish or sack someone for wrong doing. But if that act of punishment is not infused with compassion-i.e. the motive to heal, to correct, to help, to improve and not to humiliate, then that action losses the quality of Daya, Dharma and thus losses the power of `Satkarma’! Such feelings can only be generated from a heart soaked in compassion. Swami has again and again stressed on the importance of compassionate love. Regarding why only human beings may become realised. ‘Love is the dominant reason. Compassionate love is pure love, unselfish. In the animal there is love, but it is mixed with lust. But compassion is pure love. Only man has compassion. Through love he may realise the oneness of life, and in this way, by love, he will be one with God’. The realisation of the higher can only be achieved through compassionate love. It is interesting to note that Great Masters and Prophets showed this beautiful nature. It is tempting to speculate that when consciousness is evolving and is about to merge with the super consciousness perhaps such a love radiates compassion more readily. How does a compassionate one live in this world? Swami says, ‘The joy one gets while promoting another’s joy is incomparable. Your heart must melt in compassion when the eyes see another person suffering. That is the sign of Satvik individual. The Tamsic individual will be indifferent, he is too dull, too bovine, to be affected. The rajasic man will rush to punish the person who caused the suffering and might forget to relieve the misery of the person affected. Callousness is the root cause of all the cruelty that defaces the Divine nature of man, in all lands on the earth.’ Swami not only answers the question but states different type of responses depending upon individual’s mood and temperament. It is indeed beautiful that the song after suggesting the four Yoga practises for the seeker, reaches a point where it imparts the highest and most noble way to live in this world. No wonder Swami said, ‘The one whose heart is full of compassion, whose words are steeped in love and whose body is used in the service of fellow men is neither affected by evil powers, nor by the adverse influence of the age of Kali.’ Such an assurance by the teacher motivates us to continue our struggle to perfection. The mountain climber almost reaches the peak. The cold wind continues to blow against his face. The tired muscles and the heavy luggage pull him down yet by sheer grit and determination to reach the pinnacle he heaves himself forward closely following his guide. The guide is already trekking forward. He watches closely the steps his guide takes, the path he avoids, the places he puts his hands for support, the edges where his body rests. The scrutiny is close for he feels at this point after coming all the way; he should not make a mistake. The path curves and now a twist. The final step. The guide who has reached the peak lowers his hands. The climber holding steadily the hands gives a final push and the climber’s body is thrust forward only to land on the sharp edge of the peak. He stops for a while to catch a breath ……and while gaining his balance slowly views the scenery. Distant away the hills keep rolling on and on and disappear into nothingness. To imagine that he is at the peak ….the tops…the pinnacle of God’s creation: he feels completely absorbed into the infinite clear blue sky that spread all around into its vastness. The cool, comforting air rushing forward, brushing away the lethargy and the weariness he was earlier feeling. No words to express…no feelings to intellectualise…no experience to equate …As tears roll down, his blurred vision captures the face of his guide who motivated, instructed, guided, provided the reassurance, and removed the fatigue by his constant encouragement. With no words to utter, and tears soaked in gratitude and a heart choked with Love, the song reaches the line ...   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thus Speak Sri Sathya Sai   “Always remembering the Lord, reciting His Name, writing It, uttering It, or meditating on It or turning over the rosary with It or worshipping an idol or image with It - this constant dwelling with the Name of God is itself all the Holy Places, all the Sacred Tirths, all the famous Shrines.” ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
