MESSAGES GALORE ... 126
MESSAGES GALORE ... 126
1. Spirituality is movement from the Alone to the Alone through a million manifestations of material company that nonetheless do not last forever.
2. This Atman is self-revealing. None else knows It.
3. Rammohun gave his life for the country and how well he has been forgotten by the ungrateful recipients of his grace.
4. Great souls are grateful. Ingratitude is betrayal. And ingratitude citing busyness in work is so common among little men and women. The unfeeling heart!
5. Even love is trade?
6. Life is a rare opportunity to love Thakur and to live in Him. Do not squander it in idle pastimes. Love from childhood or whenever the Guru graces.
7. Creativity in abundant measure approaches God.
8. How deeply man loves his unreal self!
9. Awards and accolades are futile if character be not built. Upon the richness of the heart depends the worth of a person. Love your way to bliss.
10. The wakeful soul awakens others. Jāgte raho!
11. It is a 'pain' to be bereft of company for endless stretches of time which is why 'Yo ekoham bahushyām.' [I am One, I wish to be Many.]
12. How much of heart we can put in communication, in work, in worship, adoration et al marks the measure of that refined attribute called love before which even God bows down as Krishna did before Rādhā when he bent low to appease the aggrieved beloved and win her back to her pristine mood of blissful loving union.
13. Routine messages are assuring no doubt but in terms of inducing boredom, they are a killer. Creativity sparks off the fire in man.
14. The busy can never love. The loving are never busy. Materialism masks its methods in a million garbs.
15. Revise or remain a fool all life.
16. Guru's grace is everything. Realise!
17. Sanskrit is not a dead language. It is the very life of Bhāratvarsha. Study Sanskrit to know your motherland. Study Vivekananda alongside.
18. I spend my ruddy drops writing. But how many read?
19. Life is more than a business deal, much more.
20. Of what use is education if it makes mercenaries of men?
21. In the name of Ramakrishna they renounced. Now they have renounced Ramakrishna himself.
22. যে আদর্শের জন্য ত্যাগ, সেই আদর্শই ত্যাগ করলে আর রইলটা কি ?
23. Most are dead to the higher life. Few even know of it. Those that do, care not to pursue it. Men wallow in the material mire of life.
24. How people are in love with their fleshly form!
25. Awake at last. Kumbhakarna has risen.
26. গাড়ী গর্তে পড়েছে | গাড়ীকে তুলতে হবে | আসুন, হাত লাগাই | কিন্তু যাঁরা গর্তকে শিরোধার্য করেছেন, তাঁদের সম্বন্ধে আর কি বলা যায় ?
27. What Thakur practised was meta-Islam and not Islam. For three days he became a meta-Muslim and not Muslim. In it there was neither apostasy nor heresy. This is the future of religion and humanity which he in his temporal location then apprehended in advance for posterity to follow.
28.

WHEN GOLD AND GAIN HAVE DISPLACED GOD AND THAKUR HAS LEFT HIS EARTHLY SEAT TO REDESCEND TO EARTH TO SAVE HIS SINKING MISSION
WHEN GOLD AND GAIN HAVE DISPLACED GOD AND THAKUR HAS LEFT HIS EARTHLY SEAT TO REDESCEND TO EARTH TO SAVE HIS SINKING MISSION
The times are ripe for Thakur to be reborn to save the sinking Hindu civilisation from its current rot, especially when his very own ones have completely forsaken him and chosen money over God. It is disgusting to see the rampant selling of Vedānta lectures on an annual basis all over the country by the very organisation that had not many decades ago upheld the Master's pristine principle 'Money is mud, mud money.' Whither Swami Shankarānanda, Swami Virajānanda, Swami Vijnanānanda, Swami Brahmānanda who could have stemmed this rot and reversed the direction of delusion to that of divine delight?

MESSAGES GALORE ... 125
1. Criminals are created by a criminal ideology.
2. We as a nation must be more quality-conscious. Right now profit-motivation sadly is the primary driving force in most of our endeavours.

55. From the One to the Many and the Many to the One runs on the cycle of evolving-involving life. 🕉
56. Why fear fall, friend, when rise is within reach?
57. We need a leonine lecturer on Ramakrishna today.
58. He who fears, falls. He who loves, rises.
59. Conquer circumstance if you dare to be free.

When needs are none,
Then gives the run,
The selfish soul.
That's the fun.
There are many such,
In the world of much,
Not just one.
64.
Let none believe his day is done.
Till freedom be you'll be on the run.
65. The modern man is a hurried man slave to the duty of desires.
66. Online activity has revealed the levity that is the apparent man. In depth lies in wait though the Real Man, undisturbed, whole.
67. Be not like a hunted hare fleeing for sheer life.
68. A great responsibility lies on us to keep the movement green. Thakur's movement through greed of gain is floundering, lying low. Arise! Awake!
69. Read 'The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna' daily and realise God. It is a guaranteed way if you are sincere.
70. Give up all rituals and straighten your worship.
71. Selfless service is the highest ritual.
72. The knocks of life fire up the spirit. Arise!
73. The savage side of the primitive man as yet rules his modern self. Where is spirituality in this savage scenario?

82. I love Swamiji in so far as he is a rebel.
83. The primitive man dies in his modern setting.
84. Savages fill society. Primitive rites persist.
85. A perfect memory is the sign of the spiritual genius. Swamiji and Thakur both had outstanding memories.
86. Hindus must see to it that their family lines are not obliterated, that their numbers do not decline.
87. Here spirituality will never be sold. Everywhere else it is. Thakur's ideals are being murdered. Is this Vedānta?
88. To roll back in time and live in the company of Thakur in Dakshineshwar, to go on pilgrimage with him and visit the houses of devotees in Kolkata and elsewhere is a great sādhanā.
89. It's time to stop commerce in the name of Thakur.
90. What you neglect, you lose.
91. Insult a person brimful and the overflow shall be yours.
92. Is it because classified information about the Deen will be leaked out that makes apostasy a treasonous offence in Islam, punishable by death under the Sharia?
93. Air you neglect because it is so easily available. Now polluted it stands and stifles you. Breathe in your own karma.
94. Hollow men and their hollow words.
95. If you allow people to take you for granted, you stand devalued in their eyes. The fruitseller knows not the worth of a diamond.
96. We do not know how to honour the honourable.
97. Neglect ye it and it shall be taken away from thee.
98. What liars these 'liberals' are, rotten in character and core, spreading misinformation by the millions and subverting the civilisation of the Hindus here, of the Christians in the West, and combining forces with a toxic theology that aims at the annihilation of the world. These are not intellectuals of good intent but are the 'heartless intellectuals' Swamiji has warned us of.
99. কাঞ্চনত্যাগী সঙ্ঘ চাই, কাঞ্চনকামী নয় |
100. ভগবানের প্রসাদ এবং আধ্যাত্মিক বক্তৃতা বিনামূল্যে দেওয়া শ্রেয় |
101. মানুষের প্রতি আনুগত্য করলে সত্য খর্ব হয় | সত্যের প্রতি আনুগত্য করলে মনুষ্যত্ব বর্ধিত হয় | সবার উপর সত্য সত্য, তাহার উপর নাই |
102. আপনার অস্তিত্বই ব্রহ্ম | ব্রহ্মজ্ঞানী আবার কি ? ব্রহ্মই ব্রহ্মজ্ঞানী | উপাধিযুক্ত মুক্তপুরুষ শুদ্ধসত্ত্বগুণী, ব্রহ্মজ্ঞানী নন | উপাধি গেল ত' ব্রহ্ম | তখন জ্ঞানী, জ্ঞান ও জ্ঞেও এক ও অবিচ্ছেদ্য | এই ব্রহ্মই তাই ব্রহ্মজ্ঞানী অখণ্ডার্থে, অদ্বয়রূপে |

125. ওদিকে পশু কমছে, এদিকে পশু বাড়ছে |
126. Jokers are many, jokes are few. Life itself has become a mockery.
127. The tragic part of life is that its comic part is being lost.

133. People have time for self-interest, not for pursuit of the Self.
134. The balance sheet of life unbalanced, life goes on.
135. We have to save civilisation from barbarism. The latter is gaining ground with learning leading the way to usher in an impossible utopia. The Red-Green Alliance is rupturing world order. Fight it to save civilisation.
136. In self-serving the self is least served.
137. The wave is the sea. Advaita.
138. Never be rude. Soft words heal, inspire, build.
139. Let not money make you arrogant. It won't last.
140. When monks run after money and matter, God descends to save Dharma.
141. Unfortunate are the ones who dishonour their Guru.
142. My young friends, read Vivekananda to build yourself. Here is a mine of infinite strength.
143. Do not incur sin by donating to super-rich spiritual organisations stooping low to make money.
144. My whatsapp updates have helped me measure the hearts of a few. They have revealed much. I see it as clear as daylight now.
145. গুরুবাক্যগ্রহণে কাঁটা বেছে খেলে ভগবান লাভ হয় না |
146. The hypocrisy of organisational preaching of the harmony of religions while neglecting core contentious issues of fanatical exclusiveness, conversion and political intent pertaining to Islam and Christianity that keep on harming the Hindus is detestable.
147. Cherry-picking the Guru's teachings does not conduce to spiritual growth. One must absorb them undiluted, whole.
148. Message today and receive the answer tomorrow. If this is not communication, what is?
149. Fakeness galore goes on in the name of Gurubhakti. Money matters much more to these titular disciples, crafty careering concerns more.
150. If life ceases, worth will be realised for a day or two. Then back to money-hunt. Selfishness rules life. This has been, this will be. Prophecy!
151. I keep writing. If you find them irksome, ignore.
152. The universe updates every moment. I fail to keep the pace. Ever beaten by the clock since childhood, I once beat it in youth for good.
153. My writing caters to not just you but it caters to one and all. Feel free to read, reflect, realise, or to ignore, reject, cast away as refuse.
154. 
আধ্যাত্মিকতার আকাল পড়েছে | এমন জায়গা দেখি না যেখানে আধ্যাত্মিকতার নামে অর্থব্যবসা হচ্ছে না | এখন 'আপনাতে আপনি থেকো মন, যেয়ো নাকো কারু ঘরে |'
আলোকচিত্র : স্বামীজী গুরুভাইসহ বরাহনগর মঠে | তাঁদের অপার্থিব ত্যাগের পথ পরিত্যাগ করেছেন তাঁদের অনুগামীরা | বক্তৃতা, প্রসাদ, ইউ টিউবের গ্রাহকতা---সর্বত্র অর্থের বিনিময়ে ব্যবস্থা আজ যা কয়েক দশক আগে এঁদের পূর্বসূরীরা কল্পনাও করতে পারতেন না |

172. Go beyond time to see the Self.
173. The illumined soul alone can help illumine.
174. To stand straight in a bent world is the test of spirituality. No God is judging. Pure practice of the science of yoga. Freedom is the fruit.
175. Commerce is ruining relations, even spiritual.
176. The storm rose and broke its bounds. Ramakrishna was born. 1857 was the tumultuous year. India was in turmoil. And here in Dakshineshwar? A swansun.
177. To be soft-spoken is spirituality.
178. Animality as yet reigns garbed in human attire. Spirituality a far cry!
179. Justifying bad behaviour towards others? Rectify.
180. In an age of declining culture upon you lies the burden of upholding it. Read, reflect, realise the best elements of the history of man. Upward!
181. Religiosity isn't necessarily spirituality.
182. Truth destroys the dream.

193. কোন বিদ্যাই অন্তের কথা বলতে পারে না | অন্তরের অনুভবেই অন্তের দর্শন |

197. When the candle burns out, the sun shines bright.
198. Life is a giving of oneself unto all. Love!

212. The purpose of human life is God-realisation.
213. To those who care: "Meditate deep on my words."
214. Words are not mere conglomeration of letters. They are ideas born of the soul, pregnant with power. Read and reflect. Assimilate them in your system.
215. Cyclical karma will end in freedom. Rejoice!
216. Consciousness manifests everything every moment including the moment. The brain is the filtering device manifested too.
217. You are paying homage to dead men and an unseen God. Touch your own feet and revere yourself. You are the highest God. Realise it. 🕉

220. We have entered an age when people quickly react adversely without reflecting on the nuances of a write-up. Intellectual decline is at its nadir.

Sugata Bose @X [jihadwatchRS] : Of all the speakers I have heard Robert Spencer's articulation of Islamic jihad is the most comprehensively clear. His narration is fact-based, direct, yet most civilised, and his friendly manner eases the listener into attention on what he says. Impartial and carrying no ulterior agenda, his only motive is to awaken humanity to the threat of Islamic domination which has seen its worst chapter in its thousand plus years of jihad in the Indian subcontinent. Every Hindu remains obligated to him for his highlighting Hindu genocide by the sword of Islam. Everybody should read Spencer's books on Islam to be educated about this unique threat to human civilisation that denounces plurality and with force imposes its order on all irrespective of their civilisational imperatives. I thank you from my heart for being what you are. ♥️
Sugata Bose @YouTube [Tarek Fatah] : The fact that every now and then the audience starts clapping when certain horrendous things that have happened to India in Partition are mentioned speaks volumes for the levity that has come to strike a large number of Indians as a veritable disease.
Sugata Bose @X [ACTBrigitte] : Your forthright articulation of Islamic intent consequent on childhood experience in Lebanon and doubtlessly your knowledge of the Islamic texts in the original Arabic followed by your Act for America campaign have made you a foremost figure in the realm of countering jihad. Your felicity in speech, deep conviction in your cause of countering Islam, your boldness and your vigour have made you a true heroine in these troubled times of leftist apologia defending the indefensible that threatens to plunge the world into great grief. Thank you for your courage in carrying the heavy weight of saving civilisation from barbarism. Your vibrant personality makes your speeches as appealing as your words make your books a revelation unto the heresies that afflict humanity today. You are a beacon unto us all, Brigitte. ❤️
Sugata Bose @Khalid Umar : Exactly so. Bothering over trifles while the world threatens to fall apart as in the 1930s. We are on the edge of a cataclysm unless immediate measures are immediately adopted and executed with clinical efficiency.
Sugata Bose @Sree Vidhya : Rās Līlā is beyond temporal knowledge. It is transcendental love. So, your observation falls flat.
Sugata Bose @Subhrajyoti Bhowmick : Deen e-Islam's foundational political tenets hidden from ordinary underestimating in the Qur'an, the Hadees and the Sira, Islam's inspiration, intent and objective of world-domination, information concerning the infidels (kafirs) about their fate here on earth with respect to the sword of Islam should they refuse to submit to Islam.
Sugata Bose @Shurojhankar Academy : Bhimsen Joshi--Out of tune as always. Not a single note touched, leave aside shruti.
Sugata Bose @Khalid Umar: Your singular efforts towards awakening the world will remain etched in human memory should the world survive this invasion of inhumanity dressed up as the Deen. This combination of Islam and communism will be defeated and a new world order created in its wake. But, alas, at what a cost! 🕉
Sugata Bose @Khalid Umar : Zohran Mamdani's mother is a Hindu by birth, father Muslim. So, why can Zohran not say that his faith is Hinduism? Dive deeper into the question and a lot will be clear about Islamic tenets, its intent, inspiration, motivation and eventual objective.
Sugata Bose @Debaprasad Bhattacharya : Greed for gain do you support? Prasad being charged for and tickets at exorbitant prices for spiritual lectures being sold? You call this nishkām karma for world welfare? Will a mother charge fee for breastfeeding?

Can the blind be ever led to seeing the spiritual corruption that has set in about which Swami Nityaswarupānandaji had raised a storm by first verbal protest, then writing a booklet 'Back to Vivekananda' for which he was censured, his books burnt and he isolated to die a heart-broken saint, and all because he had the eyes to see which apologists do not or will deliberately not have and, so, allow a sinking ship to further sink?
Sugata Bose @
Yardley Pal : Deep lies the memory, never to die.
Sugata Bose @Swarnali Ghosh: Kon sangher katha bolchhen? How long have you been associated with it and at what depth? What do you know about the ideals that are being transgressed day in and day out? This is the seed of organisation downfall that has been repeated over and over again throughout history and is playing out its role yet again through the material heresies that lie in sharp contradiction to the pristine principles of its founder preceptor. 🕉
Sugata Bose @Kapil Patil : What a heavenly smile! You are a pure soul.
Sugata Bose @Saiful Anam : The most barbaric. And barbarism is not strength. It is animality. Strength is the purest attribute of the spiritually illumined, not of the fanatic foul-player.
Sugata Bose @Ali Hamza Gujjar : For fourteen hundred years throughout the world wherever Islam has invaded.
Sugata Bose @Rashid Husain Zahid : The entire Middle East was Jewish, Christian, Buddhist and of other local denominations. Where was Islam then? It came and destroyed all.
Sugata Bose @Subir Subir Chakraborty : Thank you for your devotion to the original great ones, their matchless renunciation, and not for subscribing to my criticism of the current fallen state of their successors as of now, for the revival of the Mission would require dedicated followers like you as well. But to be blind to spiritual heresy is not going to serve the purpose. One must be aware of directional change, delusive desires creeping in in the name of service which, if not now brought to the fore by fair observations of concerned devotees and well-wishers, will lead to a permanent departure from pristine principles and eventual spiritual fall from grace as has been testified historically in dispensations of the earlier Avatārs. The rot has set in and needs immediate redress. 🕉
Sugata Bose @Satyanand Bhattacharjee : Do you read matter upto the molecule or upto its minutest particle in the quarks and even lower down in the order to strings? Does man end in flesh and form or does he further exist deeper down in the Spirit which the Vedānta speaks of in its great Sanātani tradition? Does matter consume the whole of man or does he have a divine dimension extending to existential infinitude which is the purport of the text of the Sanātani scriptures, the Shāstras? 🕉
Sugata Bose @Rashid Husain Zahid : Traces left. Islam has wiped out everything barring the traces. Otherwise, why is it that Christian population has dwindled in the Middle East thus? Where are the Jews in Makkāh and Madināh?
Sugata Bose @Swarnali Ghosh : The medicine is working. Right?
Sugata Bose @Swarnali Ghosh : You have used a subordinate adverbial clause of condition. Well, I cannot comment on suppositions or assumptions.
Sugata Bose @Swarnali Ghosh : Again your questioning is based on delusive assumptions. What to comment on it?
Sugata Bose @Swarnali Ghosh : Again your questioning is based on delusive assumptions. What to comment on it? When scientists question theories about the universe, they do not create new universes. Questioning is part and parcel of the Sanātan tradition. Without it civilisation would die. All advances have been made on the basis of questioning foundational assumptions and questionable practices. Both Ramakrishna and Vivekananda were peerless questioners. There is even an Upanishad called 'Prashnopanishad.' The Bhagavadgeeta is replete with Arjun questioning his friend, charioteer and preceptor Krishna. The argumentative process, the rationalistic path, the discriminating method is intrinsic to the Sanātan Dharma and to all progressive evolutionary movements. To stifle discussion and criticism by way of forcing faith behoves the fanatic, not the seeker of light and truth, certainly not the aspirant for Truth. Hence, those who are the true devotees will always criticise where the Mission flounders. Swami Nityaswarupānandaji and Swami Premeshānandaji both did so, to name just a couple of seminal souls of eminence. Deepen your devotion but do not be blind to the material heresies now in full play that sure will be counterproductive in terms of eroding organisational goodwill bought with sweat and toil, blood and burial of countless sacrificial souls. 🕉
Sugata Bose @Swarnali Ghosh : What are you up to? Don't waste your time over my posts. Read Swamiji instead. Life is fleeting. Time is flying. Youth is evanescent. Utilise it to realise God. You are young and I wish you well in your spiritual advancement. Do not miss this golden opportunity to have the vision of Thakur. Give up trifling engagements like entering into fruitless arguments that are only going to fan your false ego but will lead to no worthwhile attainment. Above all cultivate shraddhā, the Nachiketā trait that holds in great regard truths and not practices and does not violate civic norms of respectfulness. 🕉
Sugata Bose @Swarnali Ghosh : Your assumptions about my knowledge and intent are delusive, not your comments as such. There is no beating about the bush in my observations, just plain civility that does not break civic norms of concord. Moreover, my writings are essentially literary in flavour and style and, hence, perhaps, not of easy access in terms of quick comprehension by the casual surfer. Read my writings in depth if you are so inclined and instead of coming to quick conclusions about my motivations think deep, reflect, ruminate, and you will plumb its profundities to your capacity and arrive at a more seasoned understanding. Alas, quick reaction is the bane of the times and to misapprehension of content of text and motivations thereof! Do not cherrypick sentences or words but read in totality my writings if you so wish, and you will see the full moon floating in the beautiful night sky instead of its crescent counterpart.
Sugata Bose @Swarnali Ghosh : Because I have devoted my life to him in early youth and have done so everafter. You also may be devoted to him, far more than I have ever done. Bless you!
P.S. Swamiji is the model for humanity as of now and perhaps for generations hence. Thakur had brought him into the world to provide succour and sustenance to failing humanity. I have not till date found any other great man equal to him who I could follow as my model of a man, a quasi-human quasi-divine being, both in total terms. His purity, personality, truthfulness, sincerity, idealism, practicality, universalism, patriotism, courage, concentration, scholarship, intellect and above all that wonderful heart that bled for all and sundry, one who like his divine Master and his divine consort lifted me up to ethereal heights have ever endeared me unto him. Unto him I owe my life, my living, my breath, my dreams, my very earthly existence in repose and rest, in activity and exertion, my unfailing guide that he is, the torch-bearer, the beacon in this forest of life with its darkened alleyways leading unto the sunlit summit of Truth. 🕉
Sugata Bose @Swarnali Ghosh : Now you are trangressing limits of civility which I cannot condone. Curiosity about others' personal details are not welcome.

MESSAGES GALORE ... 124
MESSAGES GALORE ... 124
1. Purity is the pathway to peace.
2. Love is the light of life. It illumines the dark recesses of the heart.
3. Love is the law of life. Spread love around by accepting all as divine. There are no kafirs, no murtadds, no munafiqs, no mushrikeen. All are divine, embodiments of the highest Brahman. 🕉
4. We need a strong leader who can ban bad movements that are aimed at destroying our civilisation.
5. Sincerity is the watchword.
6. Concentration is the key.
7. Purity cures.
8. Till date nobody has perfectly followed Swamiji's teachings because his comprehensiveness was simply beyond even extraordinary emulation.
9. Marx has made his mark on the mind of man. Lenin has left his followers everywhere, the 'left' who are subverting the West.
10. Communism may have been buried but has resurrected itself as the 'left movement' everywhere.
11. If life offers a chance to excel, seize it. Do not idle away the golden moment. Such occasions are rare.
12. Perceiver, perceived, perception---the trinity of cosmic manifestation.
13. In nothingness is everythingness. This is the Sanātan Dharma. 🕉
14. What is the point in only studying before examinations? One must study hard throughout the year, even on days of festivals. That is called study.
15. A person may become wealthy through honest means but it takes time. Patience pays and with peace as additional dividend.
16. Persistence is necessary. A casual approach to common things is symptomatic of a deeper disease which manifests as failure in life.
17. The successful are punctual, the punctual successful.
18. If life offers the rare opportunity to rapidly evolve, employ your whole self to doing it.
19. Who can save thee save thyself?
20.
When the lights darken
And the bright beams fade,
Rest on the light within
And through the waters wade.
21. What sort of a religion is it that mandates violence against the infidel, extracts protection money from people unwilling to convert, sex-enslaves women, denies human rights, stifles freedom of speech and expression, proclaims its own superiority over other faiths and cultures and destroys them overtly and covertly, glorifies martyrdom and allures men unto it with promises of carnal pleasure in promiscuous plenty in Paradise?
22. We have to overcome this general apathy towards good work done by others. That would do us a world of good.
23. Long live humanity!
24. Most people beat about the bush while speaking. Learn to speak direct, to focus, but with politeness.
25. How can you do well in Mathematics if you do not practise it hard daily?
26. No tutor can get you good results if you do not study tremendously hard every day of the year.
27. How can you do well in studies by not studying hard? Is life only for puerile pastimes?
28. Help others and you will be helped in turn.
29. You cannot be spiritual by pretence of piety. You have to unselfish utterly and simple at heart.
30. Vivekananda meditated on 24, 25 and 26 December, 1892 on what is now called the Vivekananda Rock. He witnessed the past, present and future of India.
31. There is a divine focus within you. To get to realise it is the goal of life. 🕉
32.
When the heart is heavy and the soul in pain,
Give up all thought of loss or gain.
33. When the Nazis overran Europe, it was Soviet Russia that stalled their progress and at a terrible cost to themselves reversed the course of the war.
34. Students must study for knowledge, not for passing examinations. If knowledge be there, examinations will be child's play.
35. Youth spent in chasing the vanities of life leads to a burdensome life thereafter. One's own karma recoils on oneself and makes one miserable.
36. Self-respect means not only respecting oneself but all who are good and peaceful who conduce to the well-being of all.
37. When life withers, it is life that sustains.
38. Who is the Guru? One who infuses spiritual life in the disciple.
39. The divine flow is obstructed by crookedness of the heart. Simplicity of being inundates one with the current of divine love.
40. War throws up heroes. Let peace throw up heroes as well.
41. Jewish contribution to the sciences and the arts must be given due recognition and Jews saved from antisemitism. They are too precious to bear all this.
42. Scriptural condemnation of whole peoples based on faith is highly unspiritual. All of humanity is divine.
43. Truthfulness builds power in the system. The man of truth has character.
44. Unless you study hard---daily disciplined labour---, character will not be formed.
45. The mind imagines, dreams soar but the body lazes, and the result is not what you fancy. Work hard to fulfil dreams.
46. Learn ABCD forwards and backwards. Let the mind be doubly dexterous.
47. Visualise lessons. Train your memory. Do not indulge in idle dreams but dream on your hard work. The seed sown, fruition shall be. Worry not, work.
48. The strong man is kind. It is the weak that tyrannise when fed with power.
49. Life is brief, briefer still the creative hour that is spent in shallow pursuits, briefest when the flicker goes off.
50. To be ahead of time is wisdom.
51. To pledge and perform is piety.
52. Patronising evil is evil itself.
53. জয়, ব্রাহ্মণের জয় !
54. Nowadays it has become fashionable to denounce the brāhmans. But it has been the brāhmans who have been the repository of our culture for millennia.
55. Inertia is resistance to change. The universe is in acceleration. Fields are acting to propel cosmic systems. Who can be inert? Hence, be up and doing.
56. The earth is a spaceship. We are all astronauts.
57. ব্রহ্মদর্শন, অর্থাৎ, স্বরূপদর্শন |
58. Indoctrination in ideology from infancy is injurious. Let independence be, the freedom to think, study and decide. Force is antithetical to freedom. Frightening people with hellfire into submission is not spiritual. It is damaging a human being's finest faculty, the ability to think.
59. Problem is with theology and people indoctrinated into it, a theology that mandates violence against infidels, glorifies martyrdom with promises of Paradise pleasure of a promiscuous kind. Toxic texts tarnish humanity and inspire men unto terrible acts of terror. Destroy such evil.
60. One man works and a million sleep. Such is the state of the world steeped in ignorance and indolence.
61. Mathematics is for daily practice. It becomes fun game this way. Enjoy math, do not suffer it.
62.
When the night dies and the sun awakes,
Look for me in the bright beams.
63. Rammohun Roy saved Hinduism from mass Christian conversion. We owe so much to him. Swami Vivekananda acknowledged his legacy.
64. Few see happiness in life. Most die in despair. And yet hope is harboured by all despite the disappointments of life, the one feature that keeps men going. But to what end? It is such a tragedy for most, the rare ones seeing the light of life. Life is headed to a dead end unless one hearkens to the inner call and awakes to the fulfilment that lies in store deep within where the sun never sets and death cannot cast its evil spell.
65. Vibrancy is the sign of life, tranquil lies the truth. In the stillness of the deep dark night a voice rings through the heavens, the heart that heaven is.
66. There is no Day of Judgement. It is an Abrahamic superstition held in ignorance of the Vedāntic Law of Karma and the Truth of Brahman. 🕉
67. 
The Hindu and not India did it. The Jews are a people and so are the Hindus whereas India is a nation inhabited by sll sorts of peoples many of whom are not Hindus at all. Moreover, the God-knower and the God-lover were not inventions but an evolution unto Truth.
68. Creativity is the core of civilisation. Inspiration, ingenuity, intuition, insight, intelligence, innovation---the sisters six that career this creative cuture.
69. Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism have gone to the fountainhead of philosophy. Other faiths have at best been partially driven so.
70. The wise are accepting, the ignorant reject.
71. Love is the L.C.M. of life.
72. Ātman = Brahman is the greatest philosophical equation.
73. Global warming necessitates population control.
74. Culture is plummeting. Raise culture.
75. 'Hurry, worry and curry'---these 3 things avoid.
76. One feels happy to have lit the lamp of knowledge in a few. Bless you all!
77. It is humility that is strength, never arrogance.
78. Fertility ought to be in culture, not baby boom.
79. Self-confidence works wonders.
80. The light by which you see without shines from within.
81. You are neither body nor mind. You the Self Supreme, God incarnate.
82. Semi-literate politicians should go back to school and academically duly qualify themselves before pretending to serve the nation.
83. How can a good person follow a bad doctrine?
84. Life is for living, not suffering martyrdom for reward in heaven.
85. Purity clarifies the nervous system enabling the perception of God.
86. The summation of sounds is the 🕉.
87. XYZ = ABC
When this is clear, a lot is.
88. Imperialism is gone, yet it lives on donning non-purple robes.
89. We are neither body nor mind but they belong to us. We are neither name nor form but they belong to us. We are the transcendental Self.
90. One way of strengthening India is to introduce the study of Swami Vivekananda in school curricula.
91. Revolutions are bloody resolutions of long-term tyranny. But they so often are followed by a worse tyranny. Humans are so violent.
92. The earth is heating up and it is everybody's responsibility to be aware of what needs to be done to avert a catastrophe.
93. Purple goes for royalty. Royalty is gone but purple lives on.
94. Is heaven static in a dynamic world?
95. How can jahannum burn the kafir who has realised he is not the burnable body but the immaterial incombustible Ātman?
96. God is powerless to punish the perfectly pure soul for he has gone beyond the pale of Maya which is His jurisdiction.
97. God has not created the universe. An infinite series of universes has ever been and will ever be in the metatime scale.
98. God is your own deepest self. You are God.
99. Man misidentifies himself with the body and comes to grief. Awake to the Spirit that you are in essence.
100. Hope swells in the despairing heart even against the tide of times. Such is the law of life.
101. Cultivate a deep sense of self-respect born out of awareness of your intrinsic divinity.
102. Be sceptical of belief. Nothing is so sacrosanct as cannot be rationally challenged.
103. Health and holiness go together. The sattva bolsters health.
104. Vivekananda had a message for the West. Where did his followers fail that Islam instead is taking over the West?
105. God is an assumption. Man is. God is not.
106. It is time to get out of the dictatorship of God and arrive at the democracy of universal consciousness.
107. The archaic idea of God holds man back. Man as Ātman is the Supreme. Preach the Vedānta devoid of superstition.
108. Read Vivekananda and be free.
109. Desire not heaven, fear not hell. You are the Sovereign Self that rules over both.
110. The Universal Man is higher than God.
111. Read the London Lectures (Jnāna Yoga) of Vivekānanda to understand the glory that is Man. Read 'Is Vedānta the Future Religion?'
112. That communism has fallen, 'brave' ones are now daring to denounce it. But these very 'brave' ones dare not criticise Islam.
113. A Class 1 student imposes his Class 1 course on the entire academic system as the ultimate in learning. How about that?
114. If the Ramakrishna Mission is serious about saving the world from the evil of pervasive ignorance, it should preach Vivekananda.
115. No book is holy. Man is holy.
116. Vivekananda is not being preached across the length and breadth of India which is indeed the call of the hour.
117. The experiential validation of rebirth disproves the Abrahamic faiths.
118. Fanatical faiths spread fast because men are mostly unthinking and love to be dictated terms.
119. Hinduism is divine democracy unlike Islam which is 'divine' dictatorship.
120. Using multiculturalism you want to impose uniculturalism supposedly under divine dictate. How spiritual is that?
121. Life is serious business, not just for pleasure and puerile pursuits. It is a rare opportunity to evolve spiritually.
122. If Islam is true, why does it have to convert people to its fold by the Dawah? Science converts by its sheer force of truth.
123. My worst viewership of posts is on Facebook. Evidently, I have got the wrong set of friends who are mostly unsympathetic.
124. Simplify lifestyle, combat climate change.
125. Gullibility is not good. Awareness is necessary. Our survival depends on it.
126. The Red-Green Alliance today is the most toxic alliance. Enemies of each other have forged a fraternal bond to bring down western civilisation. They will then separate to fight it out for exclusive supremacy. Islam hates atheist communism. Communists hate religion, hence, Islam.
127. When night dawns and the stars peep out, it is vision time of the deep deep dark. Kali! Kali! Kali!
128.
When day breaks and night is gone,
Welcome it like the Great Swan.
129. Islamic supremacist attitude is absolutely intolerable & needs to be actively resisted. What makes so many vociferous adherents of this ideology make this irrational claim that their view of life is the best, that their faith, philosophically cipher though it be, is the ultimate?
130. Do not fault yourself overmuch for your faults.
131. Try and live in the fourth plane of consciousness, that of the heart. But avoid hard-hearts.
132. Spring it is when everything springs to life.
133. If there has been one lesson learnt in life, it is to live on to see brighter things happen.
134. Certitude is the sign of ignorance. Charaiveti!
135. He who knows, knows not. He who knows not, knows not. He who Is, knows It.
136. Concentration and sincerity are everything in education. And that comes from character even as it forges it.
137. Man makes or mars his own destiny.
138. It is human myopia that causes human misery.
139. You do amiss and quick comes the retribution.
140. Sincerity is an inborn attribute.
141. Be strong and stand on your own self. Do not blame others. Not but you are responsible for what you are. Fight.
142. This conversion business is just foolish.
143. In life keep things simple and you will find peace.
144. One man can work a revolution if he is sincere and up to the mark.
145. Children have updated systems. Harness them not with traditional trappings of thought. Allow them freedom to creatively express themselves. They have much to offer. Future civilisation depends on their creative output. Do not shackle them with irrational bindings of the past. Let them be free, absolutely free to challenge tradition and rewrite history.
146. There is but One Man though a billion bodies.
147. The Trinitarian Christian sees the Three in the One and the One in the Three. The Hindu sees the Many in the One and the One in the Many.
148. We must be progressive in our thinking. We have to give up the retarding baggage of superstition and accelerate ahead along our civilisational lines.
149. God must be validated through vision.
150. Science does not convert. Yet its truth triumphs.
152. Spirituality is direct perception of the Ātman.
153. Soul-force is stronger than mind-force.
154. Concentration conquers.
155. Fear of God is opposed to spirituality.
156. So long as selfishness haunts the soul of man, how can spirituality be?
157. Sri Ramakrishna renounced everything but Truth.
158. Sannyās is adherence to Truth.
159. One has to go past the realm of relativity to arrive at the realm of Reality.
160. Simplicity wins. Crookedness loses.
161. The text of life is the evolutionary drive towards freedom.
162. When it rains, waste not the water. Cultivate.

NETAJI TO BE ADORED, NOT ANY FAMILIAL EXTENSION OF HIS
NETAJI TO BE ADORED, NOT ANY FAMILIAL EXTENSION OF HIS
Netaji should be democratised and brought out of the hegemonic hold of a family. He belongs to all of us. We need not pay homage to his extended family from fraternal association as they have hardly lived upto his ideals in any conceivable way. Netaji must be followed, venerated, adored, admired, call it what you may, and not his relations across generations by way of slavishness of mind, a trait manifested in us by a thousand year alien imperial domination that has robbed us of self-respect and self-confidence to so prompt us unto slavish cringing.
Netaji embodied freedom. Let us then, as ardent adherents of his life's message, free ourselves from this fawning of family that hardly deserves any of it. Let them instead live upto Netaji's idealism and practicalise what they so pompously preach in public at every bend and turn. To Netaji then let adoration be reserved and not to his extended family by fraternal association across generations by way of familiar fawning.
