Love and divine

Saints' teachings are also unique. Many saints question the person coming to him and awakens his curiosity; And rightly guides them.

Acharya Ramanujacharya was the teacher of a great saint and sect of religion. People from far away used to come for their philosophy and guidance. They used to preach with ease and simplicity.

One day a young man came to him and bowed his head and said:

"I have to be your disciple. Make me your disciple. "

Ramanujacharya said: "Why do you want to be your disciple?" The young man said: "To be my disciple, I have to love God."

Sant Ramanujacharya then said: "It means that you have to love God. But tell me one thing, do you love someone from your house? "

The young man said: "No, I do not love anyone." Then Santrishri asked: "Do you have affection for your parents or siblings?"

The youth denied, saying, "I do not even have any affection for anyone. The whole world is selfish, it is all false illusion. That is why I have come to your shelter. "

Then Saint Ramanuja said: "Son, mine and you have no match. I can not give you what you want. "

The young man was stunned to hear this.

He said: "As regards the world, I have not loved anyone. I have strayed around for the divine. Everyone would say that if you want to add love to God, then go to Saint Ramanuja; But you are refusing. "

Saint Ramanuja said: "If you had love for your family, in life you would have had affection for any of the people near you, then I could give it a bigger shape. If there was some love too, then I could have made him enormous and could have reached the feet of God.

A small tree is formed from a small seed. But the seed should be there. How can I get the water of love from the stone that is as hard and dry? If there is no seed, then where can we make the tree? If you have not loved anyone, how can you give love to God in your ganga?

The essence of the ablution is that one who does not have affection for his close brothers and sisters, can not have love for God. We can not turn away from the people and duties around us. If we want spiritual welfare, we must follow our religious duties as well.
