MESSAGES GALORE ... 146

1. When there is a trace of ego, there cannot love be. And where there is a trace of ego, can there love be?

2. আজকের কলরব কি কাল শান্ত হবে, নাকি কালে শান্ত হবে যখন মানুষ বহুসংখ্যক সভ্য হবে ? বর্বরযুগের হিংস্রতা আজও নব নব নখদন্তে বিকশিত সভ্যতার মোড়কে | কালক্রমণে বিবর্তনের সংঘটনেই কি এর অন্ত ? আর কত রক্তপাত করবে মানুষ মানুষের সভ্যতার দোহাই দিয়ে ?

3. Lying has become commonplace as cheating has been. Basic values are all gone down the drains. People casually keep not truth.

THE VOICE OF TRUTH

THE VOICE OF TRUTH

We want a voice of authority and not apology, one who can stamp his authority on what he says, his authority stemming from experience and lived truth rather than truth read in books but unverified in experience. There must be power in his affirmations, a thunderous roll in his remarks that does not pander to the vanities of society, does not bow down to political or religious authority but hammers out truth as it happened, as it is happening and as it is in essence. No compromise, no apology, simply the truth pouring out like volcanic lava to metamorphose society unto a higher order of terrestrial and ethereal existence.

REST IN PEACE, THOU, 'REST IN PEACE'

REST IN PEACE, THOU, 'REST IN PEACE'

How can one rest in peace when the swinging pendulum unceasing ticks time and atoms keep rolling to congregate and dissolve? Is there any rest anywhere save in final liberation when the fetters have fallen, the universe has melted away, God has died and Man awakened to his undying Being in his own Godhead when he witnesses his Self as the God he had always sought? Till then how can rest be? How peace? How 'Rest in peace'? Does life cease in a single stroke that peace shall irrational follow? It is not a single season that makes the year nor a lone lifetime that composes corporeal existence. The Abrahamic religions are wrong, far far off the mark in their estimation of truth. Thus the fanciful 'Rest in peace'. There is no peace in Phenomena, Māyā. Peace alone abides in the Absolute, the Brahman.

SEPARATE ADHERENT FROM IDEOLOGY

SEPARATE ADHERENT FROM IDEOLOGY 

Anti-ideology need not mean anti-adherent. An adherent may have been by birth trapped into abiding by a certain ideology and cannot will his way out of it. But he may in terms of other human qualities be an excellent individual with a great capacity for spiritual unfolding which is right now being circumstantially impeded. But the ideology he is by birth and indoctrination being made to follow may be rotten to the core, anti-human, anti-life and utterly tribal and archaic with no place in a modern world of universal values, non-sectarian and human. To separate individual from ideology is then imperative. This done, it is easy enough to weed out the degenerate doctrines and arrive at a reformed view of life and truth. If the ideology resists reformation, it will have to be left alone to die a desolate death in the desert sands of disuse. Meanwhile, evolution carries on, humanity progresses.

READ THE GANGA IN THE GOMUKH

READ THE GANGA IN THE GOMUKH

We need to read Sri Ramakrishna's and Swami Vivekananda's message direct and not through the lens of feeble preachers coming after them and interpreting them. The Master and his Apostle are direct enough, simple enough for easy understanding and need no intermediaries to interpret their message in the light of their fractional understanding for us to swallow and digest with altered understanding. This is how the messages of great spiritual teachers are lost to humanity as mediocre men of shallow intellect and inferior understanding take upon themselves the superior charge of instructing such to people. Come off this business of learning from such latter-day lights and go back to the original. Read Ramakrishna and Vivekananda as they truly were and not as they are made out to be in the fractured understanding, in the fractional interpretation, in the altered presentation as per the convenience of latter-day preachers and writers. Read the source books. Let none stand between Thakur-Swamiji and you. These original works are well available. Avail of them.

HEAL THE HURT

HEAL THE HURT 

When a person is in deep distress, you do not scold him or ignore him or simply cast him away as so much trash. Humanity demands deeper empathy, acceptance and love that heals and restores health. Each person is divine and needs to be included in the scheme of things, not schemed out of reckoning or simply sold for a few copper coins that are valued more than flesh and blood. Life is a slit unto the vast background reality that is divine. Humanity is but the intermediate state, an opening unto the trinity of existence-consciousness-bliss. Must you fail to appreciate each life that is a beam of the infinite optical spectra rambling through countless pathways in countless universes, up, down and sideways? Do not neglect any. Each one is the Most High coming in myriad shapes through mystifying Māyā. Recognise the Real in the phenomenal, your own in distant deflected beings. The blood of immortality flows in all waiting to be spilled unto union with the Ākāsh Gangā. The stars blaze but appear to twinkle, such is the poetry of life, such the movie screened in the firmament of fertile dreams of fullest fruition in the fullness of time. Therefore, neglect none, be kind to all and loving in varying degrees to all who injure not life's possibilities in people. Read poetry in prose, melody in dry score and love in the lily that fades not with time. Bliss it is to be born, bliss to live and bliss to merge in the Mother who never forsakes. I come, Mother, I come.
