| With the right guidance, no one is unworthy: CM Yogi | | |  Early Times Report
GORAKHPUR, Sept 10: Gorakshpeethadhishwar and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, on Wednesday, described humans as the finest creation of God, emphasizing that no one is unworthy if guided by the right mentor. "If someone is seen as unworthy, it is only because they have not found a suitable guru," he said, adding that Yuga Purush Brahmalin Mahant Digvijayanath Ji Maharaj and Rashtra Sant Brahmalin Mahant Avaidyanath Ji Maharaj were such exceptional guides for society.
CM Yogi was addressing the commemoration ceremony marking the 56th death anniversary of Mahant Digvijayanath and the 11th death anniversary of Mahant Avaidyanath at Gorakhnath Temple, observed on Ashwin Krishna Tritiya.
Quoting the Sanskrit shloka "Amantramaksharam nasti, nasti mulamano?adham, ayogya? puru?o nasti, yojakas tatra durlabha?," Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that just as every syllable has the potential to become a mantra and every plant holds medicinal value, no person is truly unworthy. "What is needed is the right guru to recognize and channel that potential," he emphasized.
The Chief Minister said the Mahants of Gorakshpeeth have always fulfilled this role, giving direction to society and the nation. He recalled that both Yuga Purush Brahmalin Mahant Digvijayanath Ji Maharaj and Rashtra Sant Brahmalin Mahant Avaidyanath Ji Maharaj dedicated their lives to the service of dharma and the nation.
The Chief Minister said that for a monk, solitude is life, society is family, the nation is home, and the eternal (Sanatan) is the only community. He noted that saints' resolutions carry purity and firmness, and the essence of their penance lies within those vows. "When a true saint makes a resolution, its fulfillment becomes inevitable," he remarked.
CM Yogi added that Brahmalin Mahant Digvijayanath Ji and Brahmalin Mahant Avaidyanath Ji were saints of such unwavering resolve, whose lifelong commitment and struggle for the construction of the Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya now stand vindicated before the world.
Paying tribute to Brahmlin Mahant Digvijayanath Ji Maharaj, the Chief Minister said that Mahant Ji was born in the historically renowned Mewar lineage that never surrendered to foreign invaders. "Following the tradition of Maharana Pratap, he came to Gorakhpur. His life was not limited to spiritual upliftment; he also emphasized worldly progress for society and the nation through education and service, along with religious prosperity. Mahant Avedyanath Ji continued this legacy," he said. CM Yogi said that a true monk advances both dharma and selfless welfare (Nishreyas) together. |
