“The Mother who is completely sinless is Mother Earth. That is why she is eternally blissful. She keeps blessing us with minerals, solids (metals, ores etc) and liquids (water, oils etc) we need. Mother Earth is the birth mother for all living beings.
She’s worthy of great worship. Mother Earth bestows great fortune on those who worship her. She forms the residence for all living beings. She carries the seas, oceans, rivers, mountains, gems and diamonds only for universal welfare. She does not carry them for herself, she carries them for the world.
Like this, the Mother whose vow is universal welfare is Mother Earth. I learned patience, forgiveness and courage from that Mother”, said Avadhoota Swamy. “I learned courage along with patience. Mother patiently tolerates many gigantic elephants stepping on her, so I learned courage, patience etc.“
Did you see Earth’s magnanimity? The Avadhoota continued, “There is a proverb that says that a mother will not feed you unless you ask her for food.
But, you do not need to ask this Mother for anything. While other mothers need to be asked, you do not need to ask his Mother. She protects us in many ways. She feeds and protects us. She tolerates many difficulties patiently. Only Mother Earth has such great qualities.
One who inculcates the patience and forgiveness like Mother Earth’s will become the best among men. He will be respected by all living beings just as Mother Earth is. I learned about such quality from Mother Earth.
The Veda contains the line, “Ugraya Namah” That means, salutations to one who causes movement both within and without and is in the form of air. One who is in this form is of course the Supreme. Air is verily Parabrahman. He also has a name called “Gandha vahana”. He is eternally moving and supporting life. Filled with fragrance, he exhilarates the mind. Vayu Deva (the Wind God) carries to the Gods, our worship and our offerings.
With his cool breeze, he softens the clouds and causes them to condense to give rains. Due to rains, we get food. People eat food and become happy. They undertake righteous acts, walk the noble path and earn great merit. Vayu Deva moves within the human body in the form of Prana, Apana, Vyana and Udana (vital airs in the body).
