What do you need? He said , I need your name!".
Neenu Yako. Ninna Hungu Yako Ninna Namadha Baia Ondhu Idharey Saku
"I just need your name" because to me 'Name' is power. 'Name' is shakthi. 'Name' is absolute faith. This is what Gnaneshwar had. Gnaneshwar wanted to bring to the public, to the masses, the great gospel of the Gita through which he wanted to educate.
Passing
on
further,
we
have
the
life
of
Purandara
Dasa.
Purandara
Dasa
who
was
the
master
of
Carnatic
music
as
most
of
you
know,
had
nearly
five
lakh
compositions
to
his
credit.
Most
of
us
cannot
write
five
poems
in
one's
life
time.
I
am
not
talking
of
verses.
Verses
all
of
us
write
because
I
call
it
verbal
carpentry
--
putting
phrases
together
is
not
poetry.
"Inspired
poetry".
When
poetry
comes,
inspired
it
comes,
as
it
came
to
the
Sages.
Purandara
Das
was
a
miser,
a
person
given
to
total
miserliness.
Even
by
accident
he
did
not
do
charity.
Such
a
man
one
day
was
turned
from
a
miser
into
a
mystic.
He
gave
up
nine
crores
of
gold
coins
to
go
into
the
street
where
anklips
carry
the
tambura
and
sing
the
name
of
the
Lord
bringing
people
together,
as
one
mankind
under
one
canopy
of
grace.
This
is
what
they
did.
Excuse
me
if
I
sound
rather
audacious.
When I say, constitutional amendations, our police and our military, our governments and our ministers, are not going to bring back India together. It is only the saints and their remembrance. Everything in India is dividing us. Thank God. we don't say, it is a North Indian Thulasi or a South Indian Valmiki. a North Indian Meera, or a South Indian Purandara Dasa. Nobody says that. That is why we know that these are the real national, why international integrators. They are the ones who bring everybody together. William James in his book on 'World Religious Experience" said: "Saints shake hands across continents".
That is how they grow. They stand far and large above political people, governments, above great intellectuals, the so-called self-styled intellectuals. It is these who shake hands across continents and bring people together because for them the entire world is the world of the Lord and every human being is their own. Was it not this view which made Vivekananda popular?
Swami Vivekananda went across the sea and called foreigners: "Brothers and Sisters"; the only thing was that they were fairer counterparts of ourselves, perhaps a little taller and yet they belonged to us. It is this which made our great sages come out with these statements of universal love and universal compassion.
