Here I remember Appaji’s words saying that—Bhojan is for body and Bhajan is for soul. Naturally we have to give importance to farmers, who are really involved in cultivation. In a way the farmers are responsible for our survival. Therefore without cultivation, the world will recede to the Stone Age. That is why the farmers follow Dharma. ( the basic principle of the cosmos). JGD.

Though the world goes round with many activities, it is dependent on agriculture. Hence, though laborious, Farming is the foremost activity.
(All the professions in the world are dependent on food-production.)
Recalling the following MMSes:
– Enjoy the honor of working with soil, seeds and plants –
-Sadguru plants morals in a society –
-Plants are our friends –
SGS Gems:
-Sadguru is a Divine Farmer. He is the Farmer who sows the seeds, stands in the muddy water and plucks out the weeds and finally ensures that a good harvest is reaped. Sadguru’s leelas are unique.
-A Sadguru will uproot the ego just as a farmer removes the weeds and facilitates proper growth of the useful crop. Thus a Guru is a Spiritual Farmer.
-Because for cleansing His devotees prior to bestowing knowledge, Datta first launders like a Laundryman, digs and weeds like a Farmer, spins on the a wheel like a Potter, burns and hammers like a Goldsmith.
-When a Farmer bends his body, exerts and works along with them, the other Farmhands will also work with motivation.
-A farmer feeds the population. He should be protected and supported. I pray to Hanuman to help all the farmers.Dec 31,2014, Vijayawada.
Thank you for the beautiful MMS Puttuji. Without farmers, we would have no saatvic food to eat. We would have no energy and become inert much like in those very early ages. Farming is also a great physical activity for health. Many superb folksy songs are born out of farming through farmers enjoying their act when in full companionship with Mother Earth.
Sivaya Guruve Namaha!! Sri Guru Datta!! Om Namo Hanumate Namaha!!
