“Shraddhavaan labhathey Jnanam” it means that according to ones interest Jnanam
will be known. ‘How deep person thirsts’ to acquire jnanam, so befitting would
be the resultant outcome’… The invisible and triangular shaped power which seized
the forty-five persons on earth and power landed them on alien planet were
neither believers of God nor had any desire to explore what jnanam is? Since
they had no desire, there is no question of showing curiosity over the aspect of
jnanam. It can be ascertained from this fact that those who thirsts to acquire
Jnanam, only such persons can acquire. If we analyze this deeply, a scientific
reason can be found. If a person accidentally falls on paint colour, the result is,
the colour sticks to him. Similarly, if colour paint accidentally falls on a person,
same will be the result. Likewise, a person who is not at all interested on the path
of Jnanam; he cannot become an enlightened person and he won’t even attempt
to explore it. So, is there any scope for such a person to become a jnanis? Here,
God’s words have to noticed, viz., ‘Jnanam can be acquired only if a person
concentrates on the form of God’. There cannot be a more befitting answer than
that. This reply can be taken on behalf of humankind. But, there is another reply
on behalf of God. That is … it will be better to narrate it with an example.
During the year 1981, once I was sitting at Marina Beach in Chennai. Since
it was evening hours, a large number of people were present there. Small vendors
were moving here and there, selling miscellaneous food items. One such person
came to me carrying boiled peanuts shouting about the specialty of the item. But
I ignored his pleasing words and did not buy the boiled peanuts. In fact, I had no
habbit of taking small bits of food; apart I had no liking for peanuts. Three to four
times the person passed by me and to attract my attention he was shouting that
the boiled peanuts are hot and tasty. Since I had no interest to have them, I did
not buy. The next time that person approached me directly and said, ‘Even if you
don’t buy, I don’t mind. But have them for time passes, saying so he kept four
peanuts in my palm and left the place. Since he offered them without my
willingness, that too free of cost, I had them and tasted really good. So, a desire
started in me to have some more peanuts. Keeping quite till now, why did a
desire arouse in me to buy the boiled peanuts? Yet, since the petty vendor gave
a few peanuts free of cost and the desire to eat made me buy the peanuts and
had them. What is to be noted here is that, though Iam averse to eat peanuts
and since the petty vendor placed them forcible in my hand, I had them.
