Ramana Bhaskara

None in this Universe has attained Self Knowledge till date without possessing dispassion

A person said very happily: "Nannagaru! I don't have any dispassion but all my desires are getting fulfilled effortlessly. Now I am very happy. I will get liberation also effortlessly." Sri Nannagaru did not get into any argument with that person but merely said: "You are much better than us". However after that person left, Sri Nannagaru said: "None in this Universe has attained Self Knowledge till date without possesing dispassion."

If you willingly perform the task allotted by God, you will get the result of doing Japa and Dhyana (meditation)

Once a lady approached Sri Nannagaru and said: "I don't know the reason but I was unable to honor my husband from the very first day of my marriage. He is a good person, I have been giving him food and coffee mechanically. But recently I happened to read the magazine 'Ramana Bhaskara'. It contained: 'Even though you may not like the task allotted to you by God, if you perform it willingly (putting aside your likes and dislikes) as it is allotted by God, you will get the result of performing japa and dhyana through that work.' Ever since I read this sentence, I started giving food and coffee to my husband willingly. By doing thus, I am feeling much happier than before. Even my husband seems to be happy."

Sri Nannagaru said:" I was thinking to stop the publishing of Ramana Bhaskara. But after listening to you, I now realize the utility of publishing it. Now I will drop that idea."
