POESY : UNTO VALENTINA
UNTO VALENTINA
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Springtime it is,
Love is in the air,
High rides the Queen Moon.
Buds will bloom,
Bees will hum,
The blossoms shall fruition soon.

WHEN BLOCKING BECOMES IMPERATIVE ON A STICKY DOG OF A WICKET, HOBBS-SUTCLIFFE STYLE, OR NEARER HOME A LA GAVASAKAR
WHEN BLOCKING BECOMES IMPERATIVE ON A STICKY DOG OF A WICKET, HOBBS-SUTCLIFFE STYLE, OR NEARER HOME, A LA GAVASKAR
After attempting lengthy rationalisation in a civil manner without success and with undue wastage of time and energy, I resorted to that unfortunate means of blocking two irritating observers whose paucity of understanding of the purport of my posts and responses to their comments thereof prompted them to launch personal attacks against me along typically deflected lines. Henceforth, I shall not tolerate such nonsensical remarks and shall resort to this quick recourse to carry on with my work of awakening public consciousness about contentious matters unimpeded.

POESY :
আমি ও আকাশ
●●●●●●●●●●●●
ছোটবেলার সে আকাশ আর নেই |
আকাশ পালটে গেছে |
আমিও আর ছোটটি নেই,
বড় হয়েছি |
কেউ বলে বুড়ো হয়েছি |
আকাশও বড় হয়েছে,
বুড়ো হয়েনি |
তবু আমার 'আমি'
ও আকাশের 'আমি'
এক |
এক, অদ্বিতীয় |
সেইখানে মিল,
চিরযৌবন |

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. Stand on your own feet, not on borrowed crutches.
29. The problem of the harmony of faiths lies in fanatically following the dictates of erring scriptures rather than relying on personal spiritual experience post practising prolonged perfect purity.
30. No faith should say that it alone is true.
31. Love, the panacea of all evil.
32. There is work at hand and no time to waste. Act!
33. A free soul has all the time in the world. Time cannot shackle him nor duty. We works in freedom, the master of time.
34. Cowardice it is when one compromises with evil.
35. Revelation needs rationalisation for its veracity.
36. Be intense. Vagueness gains not the aspired end.
37. As dawn sets in, hope springs high in the healing heart. It is blissful bird-like, chirping in their perch, just woken from their nocturnal slumber.
38. The life of the Spirit is one of endless love.
39. Can't people intensify more? Vagueness dilutes, misses the mark. It is concentration that kills the demon of ignorance and sets one free.
40. One set comes in, another exits. The eternal procession is on, men marching through the stage of this world. Ephemeral appearance of the Eternal.
41. Inconstancy is the bane of both material and spiritual life. Progress needs focus, massive concentration on the means to achieve the aspired end.
42. The worst enemy of man is absence of commitment.
43. Revise constantly if you wish to have vision.
44. When brothers meet over long distances after lengthy stretches of time, the result is pure bliss. Early affections die hard. Love sustains life. ❤️
45. The trivialities of life engage us so that we fail to apprehend the purpose of life, far less achieve it.
46. Is it possible that such a vast impersonal universe with its intricate mechanisms is run by a Personal God? And there are countless such universes.
47. When you break a word, you fail a relation.
48. Even spirituality is up for sale?
49. Where money is, Thakur is not.
50. From the Unmanifest through the Manifest to the Unmanifest is the movement of man.
51. Be confident about yourself and you will work wonders.
52. Success kisses the doorstep of the peaceful.
53. Peace means embracing all as one's own.
54. Exclusiveness is opposed to peace.
55. Bathe in the Ramakrishna Ganga and be pure.
56. The Hindu does not worship the landmass of India as God. The Hindu worships its Spirit which manifests as the motherland. Vande Mātaram!
57. An idea grips mankind, then enslaves it. Break free and stand in the clear sunshine of reason and truth.
58. Body we are not. We have a body. Mind we are not. We have a mind. Soul we are not. We have a soul. We are the infinite Ātmā that is existence itself.
59. From strength to strength you shall move. Arise!
60. Meditate on the lifestory of Ramakrishna.
61. Depth × Spread = Volume. This is Ramakrishna math.
62. Do not insult others in gross or subtle way.
63. Truthfulness goes far in building character.
64. You will get back the treatment you give to others.
65. Heaven is good but freedom (mukti) is best.
66. Jews all over the world must be protected. They contribute so much to the world, yet face the worst violence. Modern science owes so much to the Jews. Save the Jews from persecution. Resist antisemitism. 🕉
67. Religion must undergo critical scrutiny.
68. Is it not a supremacist attitude to convert?
69. Waste time now and repent later. Awake!
70. Be established in God-consciousness by studying Ramakrishna-Vivekananda literature heavily.
71. Diversity is the law of life. Religious exclusiveness and divine totalitarianism are utterly antihuman and detrimental to human evolution.
72. Those who keep you waiting teach you patience.
73. Those who break their word teach you detachment.
74. Reading 'The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna' 12 years uninterrupted awakens Brahmajnān." ~ Swami Brahmānanda.
75. The ways of the world are endless and endless are the ways to God. To posit that one religion alone is true and to force it on all is madness.
76. অধ্যয়ণে অগ্রগতি আধ্যাত্মিকতার আয়োজন | তাই স্বাধ্যায়ের ওপর এত জোর |
77.
Life lessons are there
But takers are so rare.
78. ফলাকাঙ্ক্ষা করলে বিফল হতে হয় | কর্মটি পূর্ণ মনোযোগে নিপুণভাবে করলে ফল মেলে |
79. Religiosity is not necessarily spirituality.
80. Act today or suffer tomorrow.
81. The erstwhile colonised are now becoming colonisers. A kārmic reversal of history?
82. Islam allows polygamy, not polyandry. Equality of the sexes, eh?
83. You must contribute something to the nation. Not in a self-serving way but to help rebuild this much-molested motherland of ours.
84. Repeatedly I say, "Read Vivekananda." Listen to me if you care for the motherland. Else, pretend not patriotism. Our revolutionaries studied Swamiji.
85. Lives the one who loves the Lord animate in all.
86. Courtiousness must not be read as cowardice.
87. One is miserliness of money, the other of attitude, that of narrowness of spirit, the inability to support whole-heartedly a worthy cause.
88. Britain reaping the dividend of their 'Divide and Rule' policy now as experiment in alien lands reaches home in fullest sway.
89. Destruction of others' lands by infection reaches home. UK in disarray. Civilisation in peril yet again. The house of man is never safe it seems.
90. Europe in disarray as cultural invasion is in full sway.
91. The great migration is on. Europe in disarray.
92. How long will denouncing critics of Islam as being Islamophobic shield it from critical scrutiny? In this day and age of information revolution can such tactics work for long? The doctrine of Islam is out there in the open for all to read, reflect on and realise its implications.
93. Inordinately high intelligence is a rare commodity. It must always be activated to one's defence and to fostering human welfare.
94. When line changes, life changes too. Stay put.
95. Return to ancestral roots. Conserve culture.
96. Convert not others from PhD to Montessori class.
97. Time passes by. Life flows on. Hold onto the permanent and not the fleeting fancies of the hour.
98. If there be a vision, be it thy divinity.
99. Arms cannot win. Ideas must combat ideas.
100. Noble ideas are more precious than jewels.
101. Thoughts make civilisation. Learn to think.
102. Confront evil. Do not conpromise.
103. শিবের পূজোয় অহং নাশ, ব্রহ্মানুভূতি |
104.
শিবের পূজো করছ ভায়া,
নিঃস্বার্থ হও |
105. The Lord lies prostrate across countless cosmoses.
106. Shiva is the axis of infinite universes.
107. শুদ্রের সম্মান যেন ব্রাহ্মণের অপমানে না হয় | সকলের সমসম্মান হ'ক | এতেই হিন্দুর সংহতিরক্ষা, জাতিগত কল্যাণ |
108. অহংসর্বস্ব হয়ে কি ধর্ম হয় না উন্নত জীবনযাপন হয় ?
109. গুরুকে অসম্মান করব, অশ্রদ্ধা করব, অবজ্ঞা করব আর নিজের কল্যাণ হবে ? তাও কি হয় ?
110. Let us not reduce life to so much commerce. It is much more than that. A true businessman would know the real value of life.
111. Subterranean currents shape human history, the subliminal consciousness of man. There work has to be done to ensure world peace.
112. Concentrate on the works of the geniuses that India has produced. One such was Satyajit Ray.
113. You are divine. Let there be no doubt about it.
114. Doctrines are nothing. Experience your divinity.
115. Sleep is meditation, Montessori level.
116. Life goes on life after life. Reincarnation is real. The Abrahamic religions have got it wrong. The Sanātan Dharma and its derivates are right.
117. Where musicality is a feature in everyday life, there harmony holds. Symmetry is the hallmark of beauty. And beauty is simplicity, truth.
118. UK is experiencing the retribution of karma. 'Vināshkāley viparīt buddhi.' Unless she awakes fast, her destiny is sealed in equal reaction to deeds done.
119. Back yourself. Let not the world beat you down.
120. Upon you, my young friends, lies the fate of civilisation. Awake to your sense of purpose and discharge your duties, invigorated, inspired, invincible.
121. The darkening sky reveals the stars. Fear not the dark that has enveloped you. Starlight soon will light up your path. Light, light, everywhere!
122. The fool fights, not the philosopher. He sees the wave as the sea, the crust as core, circumference centre. The dust to him is divine. 🕉 Shanti 🕉
123. Man is not flesh and form but is the Spirit Divine.
124. The apparent man you are not. You are the Real Man---God. In samādhi you will experience this truth, satyasya satyam, the truth of truths.
125. The demographic war is being lost. The ideological war must be won and reconversion root out evil.
126. Countless cases testify to rebirth. Self-experience, however, dispels doubt. Dive deep into memory and you will see your past.
127. Today's friends are yesterday's associates.
128. Tomorrow will roll back to yesterday. Cyclical time runs, oscillates, freezes unto freedom, the zeroing in of phenomena unto the Self-conscious Core.
129.
Cheat not to earn.
Your merits thus burn.
130. May the hurt mind be the great source of healing to others! One lives in all. Kindred spitits flock as memories dormant spring anew to forge fresh friendships.
131. Be not on the side of lies. Truth pays off better.
132. For this flimsy world of no consequence man forsakes his freedom. Deluded by desires he leads a despicable life till death alters his misery.
133. Heed not heartless atheistic intellectuals denouncing religion as superstition. They are themselves slaves to the senses. What know they of the Spirit?
134. Little learning darkens the soul, obscures vision of the Spirit. Great learning deepens thought, suspends judgement, checks caustic criticism of culture rolling down millenia of richly lived experience. Reformers by their denunciation of the common man's culture ruin civilisation more than they create it. Art, literature, music are good, but they are all inferior to the deep devotion that runs in the common man's blood, his impulses, inspiration, insights, his religion, his soul. 🕉
135. If you wish to be a real man, a real woman, read Vivekānanda. His words are of great strength, purity and light.
136. Let not a little bit of reason feed your vanity so much as to denounce religious practices in common currency as so much superstition. Dive deeper.
137. The common man is wiser than the atheist intellectual attempting to illumine him. His simplicity reaches into Reality deeper than his mentor's reason.
138. Bengali 'intellectuals' should dedicate themselves to lifelong study of Vivekānanda so that their characters are built up duly.
139. Ramakrishna Mission should propagate the life and works of Vivekānanda far more. It is our civilisational imperative.
140. Give up your colonised mentality & train yourselves to be thoroughly Indian.Base imitation of alien cultures does not conduce to national well-being.
141. Why allow money to dictate terms to you? Reject the copper coin. Affirm the sovereignty of the Self. You are God. Must you chase matter?
142. How few value life! They value diamond instead.
143. Genetic potential needs effort for fulfilment.
144. Gene is of the body, tendency of the mind.
145. Lying is a persistent habit. Get rid of it.
146. Education has become a hop, skip and jump mockery.
147. When life is there, value it. Soon the curtains will go down and the swansong sung. Brood not. Work out your own salvation.
148. When frustration in work creeps in, be detached.
149. Man is not the body but lives within the body, a bound soul, and lives beyond, a soul unfettered, free.
150. Bound souls everywhere, nor conscious nor seeking freedom.
151. Memory springs from the depths of the soul of a life gone by, who knows if ever to rerurn?
152.
আমার আমি আছি
আর আছো তুমি,
আমার আর এক আমি ||
153.
চেনা বন্ধুর রূপ চেনো না,
চিনে নাও অরূপের মাঝে ||
154. Wisdom is when bereft you are of all sustenance.
155. Symmetry is the soul of art that is beauty.
156. The whole of human life is fraught with ignorance. Awake to the truth within. Work your way towsrds it. Smash the delusive dream of desires. Unbind.
157.
We live in Mother,
We die in Mother.
Mother, Mother, everywhere!
158. What are these faces around? You see yourself in the mirror of life.
159. For some life is eternal merriment, for some others untold misery. Each burns the wax of life in his own way. The endoint is the same for all---light.
160. If you wish to be great, look beyond triflles.
161. Value life. Spend it fruitfully gathering light.
162. Love alone can ensure peace and bliss thereof.
163. Send positive vibrations across the world. Peace!
164. Do not get caught in the web of words. Just love.
165. Read Romain Rolland's biographical studies of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. They are literally literary symphonies. They will transform you.
166. Do not fall at the feet of every ochre-donner masquerading as monk. Have a semblance of self-respect. Too much adulation is getting to their heads.
167. The more culture is democratised without unduly diluting it, the better. Principle, not personality, must be the focal point of discussion. Sraddhā must not reduce to slovenly adulation devoid of self-respect, a refusal to engage in critical scrutiny of traditional teachings that have now largely become traditional trappings of thought thwarting the forward movement of man. May man be freed from futile fetters and permitted the privilege of self-stancing in thought and action that does not harm others unduly!

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?
