Aptavani-1
1. The Navkar Mantra
2. Aum Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
3. Aum Namah Shivaya
But the egotistical people, who have created new cults
and groups, have divided even this mantra. The Lord had
conceded that people could build separate temples and place of
worship for convenience but the three mantras should not be
separated. Nevertheless, people divided the Mantra. As if that
is not enough, they have even divided the ‘agiyaras’ (Observance
of the eleventh day of the moon cycle for fasting); the Shaivites
have their own and the Vaishnavas have their own. How can the
Lord be pleased with this? God will not be found wherever
there is any quarrel or differences of opinion. The Trimantra that
I am giving you is very powerful indeed! It will bestow upon
you whatever you desire. It will remove your worldly obstacles
and will significantly lessen any major difficulties you have to
face. This mantra pleases all the gods; it is a completely impartial
mantra.
Every morning if you recall my face and recite the Trimantra
five times, you will never fall spiritually and will gradually acquire
liberation. I am taking full responsibility for this.
I say that let all the misery of the world come to me. If
you are strong enough to surrender all your miseries at my feet
without any reservation, then do so. Thereafter, if you experience
any misery, come tell me. But alas in the current time cycle I
have even encountered people who claim that if they were to
surrender all their miseries to me, what would they be left with?
These poor unfortunate people do not understand that they
have within them an ocean of infinite bliss and by surrendering
their miseries, they would be left with nothing but bliss. But no
one knows how to surrender even his or her suffering.
