Q : What is the meaning of “BRAHMA SAMBANDH”?
Ans : As explained by Shri Mahaprabhuji the human nature
is susceptible to bad influences. As soon as a man is born, he
automatically catches five kinds of ills which make him forget his
true identity. He even forgets that he is part of god and his main
object is to meet the God. He is not unhappy about the fact that he
has forgotten God from last thousands of years. He is not even anxious
to meet the God because he is trapped in worldly things and thinks that
he is one separate from the God. He does not appreciate that every
living thing is part and parcel of God. Whatever happens in this world
is as per his wish since man is not capable of doing `something, which
is not approved by the God. But a man thinks otherwise, he thinks
that he himself is God and he can do everything on this earth. He
believes that he is the owner of his properties and that it is he, who
does everything. Therefore, he becomes sad when something believed to
be owned by him is lost. He runs around to find happiness in worldly
things and therefore after death he takes several birth and rebirths.
With a view to show correct path to the people, Mahaprabhuji has given
a Mantra having eighty four letters, which is Prose form and five
letters Mantra which is known as Brahma Sambandh.
Mantra of Brahma Sambandh can be classified in three
parts, viz. In the first part Man realises his true identity when he
meets God face to face; in the second part he gives up everything go
God which he falsely believed of his own. This includes his
properties, his body and soul and in third part he promises to take
shelter forever at the feet of God. Thus, he becomes a liberated soul. |
