Sringeri Jagadguru explains We need both God's Grace and Human Effort to Succeed in Life (Telugu)

Short Messages from Sringeri Jagadgurus: Sringeri Jagadguru explains We need both God's Grace and Human Effort to Succeed in Life (Telugu): From Secunderabad Anugraha Bhashanam: "We must never forget Bhagavan under any circumstances. How can we ever forget Him, who protects us? Some immediately question, “How do you see God protects us? I work, I earn my livelihood and eat out of my earnings. What role does God play?” यो मे गर्भगतस्यापि वृत्तिं कल्पितवान् प्रभुः । शेषवृत्तिविधाने तु सुप्तः किं नु मृतोऽथवा ॥ Who protected you when you were in the most helpless state of being in your mother’s womb? Who else but God protected you. When He protected you in such a state, do you think that He is not protecting you even now? If His Grace is not there, you will end up losing all that you have taken for granted. A fall from position and good health would be inevitable. Hence no one must think that we are surviving solely on our efforts. Just as a cart needs two wheels to move forward, the journey of life moves forward with the two wheels of God’s Grace and human effort: यथा ह्येकेन चक्रेण न रथस्य गतिर्भवेत् । एवं पुरुषकारेण विना दैवं न सिध्यति ॥ Hence it is also wrong to say “Let everything happen by God’s Grace” and sit idle. You have to use the faculties you have been blessed with. The intellect and the healthy body have to be exerted in the proper direction. In a related context, someone questioned: What is the meaning of the saying “बुद्धिः कर्मानुसारिणी”. This saying literally means that the intellect acts in accordance to one’s Karma. If one has to experience suffering, one must have done sinful deeds in the past. Hence it is this bad Karma that is going to result in suffering, that drives your intellect to act in the wrong direction and end up in suffering. If it is not your destiny to suffer i.e. if you haven’t performed a Karma that will bring about a particular suffering, then your intellect will not drive you in a direction that will bring about that suffering. Similarly, if you have done meritorious deeds in the past lives, your intellect will drive you towards performing good deeds that will bring about the destined joy. Hence your intellect is driven in accordance to the Karma that you have performed in the past. Why else do only a few get the inclination to engage in crime? Why do only a few get the inclination to engage in the most noblest of deeds? It is because of this that we have the above saying. Hence it is essential that we put in our own efforts and also keep in mind that God’s Grace is required for succeeding in our endeavours. Haven’t we seen one farmer getting a good yield and another reaping losses although they both have put in similar efforts under similar conditions? Have we not also seen instances of two students, one being successful and the other struggling, though they had both studied well? One had faith in God and the other did not. This is what point us towards the need for Grace of God and has been said in the Shastras as: तुल्यं कर्षन्ति पृथिवीं तुल्यं शास्त्राण्यधीयते । उन्मज्जन्ति निमज्जन्ति दैवस्यैकस्य लीलया ॥ It has been our tradition since time immemorial to show our gratitude towards God and worship Him by building temples. By doing so, we earn His Grace." From Aruppukottai Anugraha Bhashanam: "The human birth is considered precious as it is only in this birth that one can adhere to Dharma. So we must not fail to make use of this opportunity. Everyone has a duty to perform depending on who or she he is. We must have faith in Ishwara and do our duty sincerely. We must have faith and devotion towards Ishwara because such a faith is one of the two wheels that drive a man’s life. Both Divine Grace and one’s own effort must be present to take forward the cart of life. That is why we remember and worship the Lord before undertaking any task. This practice has been there in this land since time immemorial."
