Everything that we earn through our endeavors - something as small as a cell phone to as big as a Mansion in a posh area - is a treasure for us. A small child would place a great value on his toys whereas for a grownup adult his bank balance, property and relationships would be his hard-earned treasure.
Instances of petty thefts, burglary and corporate money laundering dot the newspapers and television and get reported almost daily around the world. A very common instance of such a theft at public places is pick-pocketing, and from last few years mobile phones are on high demand:P! Due to increased thefts, artificial jewelry decorate the necks of females and beautiful deities in the temples instead of their Gold and diamond counterparts.
It’s so difficult to be assured of safety before leaving for work or a holiday tour, that the hard earned treasure inside our house will remain intact and will not disappear before we come back. Sadly even Safety doors and burglar alarms keep failing to provide us with this much-needed safety assurance.
That feeling of repentance and sorrow coupled with anxiety on the face of a person whose treasure is stolen, be it a mobile phone ,wallet or property, says everything about how dear it was to his heart. What if he manages to catch hold of the thief? Rest assured, the thief would receive a “near-death experience!”
Sometimes we may feel that we are successful in safeguarding our treasure in such a way that it would never be stolen by a person on this planet,but there is something that separates you from everything that you were able to collect here, in this world, in this lifetime,that is the "FAST TICKING TIME-The Greatest Thief". This thief - “The TIME” seems to be a mastermind and to outsmart him, albeit not impossible, is a true challenge in itself
No matter how rich or strong a person is, he is not spared by this thief. But there is something which even this mastermind would fail against! It’s the treasure called LOVE within the treasure chest of our HEARTS.
This love is in a dormant state in our hearts which has become inaccessible to us. If we want to get this treasure which is permanent ,we have to awaken it from its slumber. When a seed is in a dormant state, the favorable conditions around make it fertile. similarly to make this dormant substance fertile we need someone to create that favorable condition around us. But unfortunately, no one around is qualified to do this act as they themselves are searching for such a person! So we need someone who is not from this world but nevertheless is easily accessible to us.
It is for this exact purpose that the transcendental ocean of love comes down to this mortal world from the transcendental realm in the form of Sound.This Sound is none other than the Holy name of the Lord. The Lord manifests Himself in the form of His holy name just for us, so that we get this permanent treasure of LOVE, showering us with that eternal bliss which everyone is hankering for!
So just by chanting these Holy names of the lord we can get this “Treasure which Can’t be Stolen!”
