LET ME BE YOU, AND YOU BECOME ME

Man always hopes that some incidence should take place which helps him to get rid of all bondages. We have been bounded in all directions with all kinds of responsibilities, problems and difficulties. There should be such a situation where none of these problems exist and there should prevail peace and tranquility all over. There should be no limitations to these happy events. There should be no end to these happy happenings. We should not face any
problems.

There should be nothing except peace and happiness in life. We should aspire to sit in that comfortable lap in which there is nothing except happiness, love, peace and tranquility. We should reach a situation where there is extreme beauty, the most beautiful and charming place, most enchanting music, most pleasing situation, extreme peace of mind and we attain the extremely pleasing condition. We should get attached to such an experience. We should get to such a place from where we do not get back. We should not get back to the most painful place again. The name of that place is salvation and total freedom. We should not come back to the place which is filled with all the conflicts.

In this context Bhagwan Shri Krishna says in the Gita: There is only one way to reach such a situation. Our wisdom, intelligence and knowledge should be attached to God. Devote your power, wisdom and understanding fully to God.
Connect yourself fully with God. – ‘that is me’ and ‘me is that’ feeling should go away. If this happens, then there will be no point of return. It has been said in the Vedas, ‘O God, a time should come when You become me and me become You.” This is a great transforming wish. This has been stated by many devotees in various ways: It has occurred in the Gopi-Geet, “O Krishna, it should happen this way that we assume ‘Your form and You assume
our form’. Mirabai’s feelings are also similar: “O God, You should appear in the world by assuming the form of devotees.”
It has also been also said in different prayers: “There should be the time when God comes and stands in our place and we stand in your place. O God, You have been sitting quietly when we were crying in the world but when you assume our form as humans and then cry, rest assured that, we will never sit quiet when you cry. We will not let you cry. Let there be a chance when you become me and me become you. It will be a rare experience for all and
everyone.”

There is, however, only one point to consider. Devote your oneself to your own God. How? God is kind and this indness should reflect in you. Let you be filled with kindness and compassion. There should be kindness all over you. God is All-powerful then you should also not consider yourself weak. Do not ignore anyone. Don’t ignore the work of others. Try to do your own work yourself. God is judicious. He delivers justice – you should also become judicious. He is pure, intelligent and pious, you too should be free from impurity, ignorance and wickedness. As these traits and qualities continue to get into your personality and thoughts you will go on assuming the divine qualities. Pray to God to be like Him. There is no limit to devotion and prayers to God.

We should rather try to assimilate all the divine qualities in our own self, adopt His habits and the way of doing things and try to surrender fully to Him. We should also feel pained by looking at the pains of others, and fuse our own pains into the pains of others. We should try hard to be like Him. Pray: “Let me be You, and You be me!! I am yours and you are mine. Adopt me as your own.”
