MY MESSAGE 1 --

MY MESSAGE ... 1

1. God is real. He is Reality itself. And He can be realised.

2. The path to realise Him is called Dharma. 

3. Dharma holds the aspirant in the righteous order.

4. Dharma enfolds the moral code that is mandatory for success in spiritual life.

5. The aim of earthly evolution, the earthly destination, the destiny of life, the endpoint of terrestrial and non-terrestrial existence is liberation, Mukti.

MY MESSAGE ... 2

1. God is love. All earthly love have their source in God who is the ocean of love. 

2. Bhakti is devotion that is love, Premābhakti. It unites the devotee to his divine beloved. 

3. Ritualistic devotion (kriyākarma) and routinised devotion (chanting, kīrtan, pūja, sevā) are Vaidhibhakti which prepares the aspirant for Premābhakti which alone can help him/her attain God.

4. Purity is the precondition to attaining to divine love. All dross must be cleansed, all desirous distractions removed and the mind focussed on the Lord of Love. Then vision follows giving rise to inexpressible bliss.

5. The devotee having tasted of that bliss becomes mad for it more and more. This madness of love is the culmination of the particular bhāva (devotional mood) which the aspirant has and he/she has now obtained the full fruition of his sādhanā.

MY MESSAGE ... 3

1. Karma is any vibration, any thought, any movement, any change. In the phenomenal universe of incessant change karma is inevitable, hence in life unavoidable. 

2. Life is held in karma. Hence, karma is dharma, for dharma is that which holds.

3. That being so, the science of karma must be known, the art of karma mastered.

4. This science of karma is called 'Karma Yoga' which involves the twin principles of attachment and detachment.

5. Attachment is one-pointed focus on an object and detachment is the withdrawal of such attention from it at will. 

MY MESSAGE ... 4

1. Attachment is natural to craving man bound in the everseeking senses. However, detachment is difficult. 

2. Attachment may be increased by natural infatuation at the lower level but requires development of concentration when the object of focus is some subject of study.

3. Detachment, though, requires greater control of the mind so that it can at will be pulled away from that object of focus. This requires the cultivation of dispassion which is the primary practice of yoga.

4. When both attachment and detachment have been like mastered, the yogi is ready for the highest spiritual realisation as also for real welfare work.

5. Detachment does not mean lack of love but freedom in love and in life. The combination of perfect attachment and perfect detachment constitutes the composite that genuine love is.

MY MESSAGE ... 5

1. Chant the Mantra incessantly. God is seated in His Holy Name. Mantrāruŕha Ishta. Therefore, chanting purifies the psychophysical system and draws the devotee nearer to God. The endpoint of this process is God-realisation, inexpressible bliss and freedom from the fetters that bind.

2. The Guru is the living God and the shishya/shishyā the loving devotee. This is the spiritual relation.

3. Chanting the Ishtamantra automatically helps the world as well through the propagation of holy vibrations. The holy soul, the holy mind, the holy word is potent and conduces to world-welfare even without, so to say, dynamic physical activity. Passivity of contemplation of God is most potent in terms of bringing about active changes for the betterment of society. Peace is engendered, peace that is the one thing lacking in a frenzied, feverish world.

4. Who will serve the world if not you? Who will cater to lokasangrahārtham, the gathering in of humanity, if not you? Upon you lies the whole burden---think this way.

5. This life is a golden opportunity to realise God. Do it.

MY MESSAGE ... 6

1. Optimism there must be, never pessimism, for we are divine and headed directly to the Divine which is our Self, the Atman.

2. Never condemn yourself. You are your greatest friend, in fact the only friend who will never leave you. Identify who you are and then see what a wondrous change comes in you.

3. The world at large is the visible body of God but behind it there is a deeper dimension of divinity which must be reached and securely possessed. For this spiritual practice is necessary and absolute faith in the Guru who is God Himself. 

4. Chanting brings the body-mind into harmony with the higher forces operating in Nature and opens up the gateway to the Divine. 

5. Meditation tranquilises the mind and cuts off contact with the sensory world for the while.

MY MESSAGE ... 7

1. Puranic Dharma : Vedānta : : Applied Science : Theoretical Science

2. Swamiji was the vāhan (vehicle) of Thakur.

3. Simplicity wins its way through to the Divine.

4. A great man comes and influences masses of men, careering them towards Truth and Light.

5. The descent of God is the ascent of man.

MY MESSAGE ... 8

1. Rousseau said, "Man is born free but is everywhere bound in chains." And I say, "Man is born bound but must shed his fetters and free himself."

2. The light shines within but is covered by the dross of desire. 

3. The light of the day obscures; the dark of the night reveals.

4. There is no past, present or future in incessant motion. There is but an eternity of stillness, the moment frozen forever.

5. The Ātman is the single seer, the sole witness, the solitary being without a second with no hope or possibility of replication. And yet multiplicity springs as if by magic from the very depths of the Being without contact with It, parallels never meeting.

MY MESSAGE ... 9

1. Sayeth the Lord, "I'll heal you. You'll be whole again." 

2. When tradition bites, it is best to modernise.

3. The tiny contains the mighty. Never neglect the seed.

4. The river floweth free and the river floweth within banks, rushing headlong to the sea.

5. To know the night of the day and the day of the night is the secret Veda.

MY MESSAGE ... 10

1. Non-reaction is sannyās.

2. Tranquillity is health.

3. Moderate work, moderate rest and incessant calm recollection of God are the means to achieve life and light.

4. The Ganga flows within right upto the throat. Witness it.

5. A vast field, limitless, endless. Under a solitary tree stands a dog, still and gazing. The field stretches to infinity.

MY MESSAGE ... 11

1. Tamas is to countered by Sattva and equilibrium in living restored in the Sattva-Rajas combination. 

2. Feel free within, outer constraints notwithstanding. You are the infinite being abiding in this limited form but stretching far beyond.

3. The Gīta, the Kathāmrita and Swamiji's works quicken divine intelligence that dormant lies within the depths of consciousness. 

4. Freedom is not to be attained. You are already free. The surface cover of desirous dross hides the truth that ever is. 

5. Look upon the universe as the field of divine delight.

MY MESSAGE ... 12

1. God is within. Seek within.

2. Be at rest. Restless wandering does not conduce to spirituality. 

3. Contemplate. Think noble thoughts, the highest thoughts you can.

4. Breathe evenly.

5. Eat judiciously. Food affects the mind. Pure sāttvik food and pure sāttvik thoughts lead to God-realisation.

MY MESSAGE ... 13

1. Man is neither born nor does he die. It is this mistaken notion that he is the body that creates this delusion. Give it up and as immortal soul abide free.

2. Speak less, reflect more. Introspection is worth more than looking outside. All wealth is within.

3. Life is to love and learn en route to freedom.

4. Have an ideal in life and hold fast onto it. Salvation is that way.

5. Slowly progress towards truth and light, gaining your ground inch by inch, steadily without faltering, falling or failing.

MY MESSAGE ... 14

1. The early caller strikes the gold.

2. He who waits, wins.

3. To win is to look within.

4. Sorrow strikes a chord in human hearts. Sorrow lends social solidarity. The crucifixion of Christ, the martyrdom of Hassan and Hussain, the martyrdom of the early Christians, of revolutionaries, of the Sikh Gurus, all have integrated peoples.

5. And yet the recurring theme of life, its underlying principle, its end and aim, its driving force is bliss.

MY MESSAGE ... 15

1. Life is to learn and life is to love. Love is the fuel that sustains life. It comes from God. God, though, is a most unIndian word, an Abrahamic name for the Divine who in Sanātan parlance is called Ishvara.

2. Life is a unique opportunity for advancing spiritually, the human body being the fittest instrument for realising Reality and the terrestrial condition ideally balanced to achieve the divine end.

3. Karma must be constantly performed but with perfect detachment as to the fruits of action and with equal care as to avoid inaction. Calmness in work and intense mental activity even when physically at rest is the secret.

4. Bhakti is unbroken intense loving remembrance of the Divine Beloved, the least forgetfulness bringing intense pangs of the sorrow of separation. 

5. Jnana is realisation of the oneness of all.

MY MESSAGE ... 16

1. The human brain is uniquely susceptible to impressions. Hence, train it well with wholesome ideas, noble thoughts, high ideals and spiritual vibrations. Thus, power us generated, health is restored, energy is made to flood the system and harmony of forces achieved.

2. It is an endless life without beginning and without end. Human lives are artificial partitions constructed in powerful divisive imagination, the indivisible whole apparently broken up into fragmented units. The Being has never been divided though nor has time been quantised. The massive Presence is all that is, the flow of time merely an illusion on the face of the immutable. The clock is forever frozen at ground zero, the ticking of seconds false undulations on the waveless ocean of existence, the oscillation of the hands of the clock that has never been.

3. The universe is inside you. You are not in the universe.

4. Epics are history and epics are myths. But there is a greater myth which is history as well. This universe is the biggest myth that is being constantly conjured out of the magical mind which in turn is a myth. It is myth churning out myth out of myths that have never in the real ever been. And this is Māyā.

5. God creates man or Man creates God? The two in essence are one. Man is God. God has become man, men, the many.

MY MESSAGE ... 17

1. Communication is the key in social life. God was One. He wished to be many. Why? Because in utter lonesomeness He could not communicate His love. So, He became Ardhanārīshvar, then split Himself into purush and strī. Just to communicate His love. Later society sprang to fulfil this end in complex tortuous terms. But love remains the binding force for all life forms, for all systems working their way up to the source that God is.

2. Hate is love gone wrong, limited, distracted, deflected, degenerated.

3. Suitable circumstance helps flourish certain tendencies, suppresses certain others. Social engineering consists in fashioning society in a manner that brings out the best in man.

4. Education is the fashioning of the mind along rational-intuitive-creative channels that will make for individual growth and collective advancement. 

5. Beauty is the harmonic expression of the Divine in perceptible psychophysical terms.
