Sing Bhajans Always
The power of bhajan surpasses intellectual discourse through vibrational harmony in the five elements.
Bhajan enters every being because its tune balances the five tattvas into oneness. Lectures convey information, but bhajan transmits clarity even when words are lost. Through months of humble singing, no disease touched the community. Ego stands as the greatest obstacle. A king once ruled with care, calling his subjects his children. He commanded that none go hungry or unhappy in his domain. In time, pride crept in as he admired his perfect kingdom. One morning, a starving beggar appeared, wearing rags. The king offered food, gold, and riches, yet nothing satisfied the beggar. Distraught, the king asked who he was, and the beggar revealed himself as God. God said the king’s ego would make him a beggar in the next life. Pride in one’s goodness steals away spiritual grace. Ego manifests in small ways, like claiming the front row while pushing others back. True devotion is to be a servant, without claim. Do not delay: do tomorrow’s task today, and today’s task now. Sing bhajan constantly; mantras and holy verses from saints sustain the path.
"A bhajan is that which enters into every human being, and also into many animals and birds."
"What we have to do tomorrow, do it today, and what we have to do today, just do it now."
