TAN MAN DHAN

Hindu Sastras often tell us to offer our unwavering love and devotion to God with all three aspects of Tan Man Dhan.

This is a beautiful realisation of the ancient rishis,they knew that the small plays of life will never end: They never 'waited' for a better day to offer God their love, they never thought, when such and such good thing happens then i will pray,they never thought first let me get a new house, or first let me get a child, or first let me get the scholar's degree, then i will pray. 

Neither did they wait for disturbances to go away, first let the weather improve, or first let the crops get me some good money and so on. They never thought first let this problem go away then i will pray. 

You see , our  everyday events are the very Lila of life, the dance of Shiva .We cannot wait for the material world events to make way for the spiritual world, this will NEVER happen. They must go hand in hand.

That is why the rishis realised that everything goes together, the body,its health and fitness,  the thoughts and emotions of mind, as well as all the material events, everything is actually a part of the bigger spiritual journey, for is there anything that is ' Outside ' of God? 

NO. Nothing is beyond the reach of God.

So, isn't it logical that we , in turn, must reach out for God!

Therefore we should never delay our spiritual journey for a 'better' day. We must always begin today!

Aum Namah Shivaye.
