Atma-Nivedanam Bhakti

It is the nature of mind, intellect to raise that question. But at the same time, there is a reply, within you only.

This is called Atma-Nivedanam Bhakti.

Self-Realization devotion. Self-Realization devotion.

Devotion. It means, just like a child is asking some questions, and you reply. Similarly inside, a number of questions arise and at the same time the invisible Spirit is replying to that question.

I had given you the example of that Ekalavya character. You know Ekalavya character?

His Master is in the form of an idol, and he is there.

Asking that Master ‘Oh Master I am aiming at this target, is this correct?’ Then the inner part of this body, this Spirit ‘Yes, my child, it is correct.’

So as a matter of fact, Master was not present physically. But his internal Master inspired, vibrated, all the instructions. At that time, he is a devotee, and he is Master himself.

The great warrior Arjuna was not having this archery technique. That technique that Ekalavya had, that small boy.

It is a miraculous experience.

So, your Master, external Master, acting within you, as a great Master and giving instructions, so that is called dialogue with each other.

So, inside questions arise, immediately your Master inside is replying to that question.

It’s so fast that nobody can count that reply, it is instantly.

When there is a question there is a reply to that.

That is called Atma-Nivedanam Bhakti, last devotion, last bhakti.

Then you will be totally mature, strong.

There won’t be any temptation to ask questions of anybody else.

Not even that, if anybody asks you a question, because of your strong devotion to your internal Master, you are replying immediately.

So, I am addressing that to your inner Master, not to this body.

When there is total conviction, if anybody asks any tricky question, you can easily reply to him.

This strong, strong strain, diverted by your external Master, with your internal Master.

This statement of struggle internally, is for discussion and for conviction only.

So even if words are given, anybody approaches you with any questions, if you remember the atmosphere your internal Master instantly replies to that.

I have seen Nisargadatta Maharaj, a number of foreigners used to bombard questions.

And they were highly qualified as Masters of spirituality. They have degrees, Master of spirituality, philosophy, stuff like that.

But, Nisargadatta Maharaj had not read so many books, his education was hardly second or third tender.

But because he was having tremendous love, affection, devotion, and the power of Siddharameshwar Maharaj.

Out of that devotion, that strong devotion, that power, transforming, he used to reply immediately.

So, I am trying to vibrate your internal energy.

Because internally you have got a lot of energy.

Don’t underestimate you.

You see your greatness. This is not, I am not, I see, I can see your greatness.
