ÁNANDAKIIRTANAS

You know lalita mármika dance used during kiirtana is a purely spiritual dance, and kaośikii is a psycho-spiritual dance – it starts on the psychic level and culminates on the spiritual level. And táńd́ava is physico-psycho-spiritual. In lalita mármika, the position of the arms is above ninety degrees. This denotes that (it is a mudrá – in Sanskrit it is called a mudrá) – this mudrá means, “O Supreme Creator, Thou art mine and I am Yours. I am Thine.” Now everywhere in the world you will see one entity is in the possessive case and another is owned by that person or that entity. That is, each and every object has a certain entitative relationship with others. And what's the entitative relationship with the Supreme Creator? The Supreme Creator belongs to one and all and the created beings all belong to the Supreme Entity. This is the philosophical interpretation. Even in the field of occult science it is the [[only]] interpretation. But for a devotee, the interpretation is not like that. Amongst devotees there are three clear categories. One category, call it “third-grade,” says, “O Lord, You belong to everybody – You belong to one and all – and because I am also included within the scope of ‘all’, You belong to me also.” And the second-grade devotee will say, “No, no, no. That is not the correct psychic approach. You belong to me, and because You belong to me You belong to all. That is, the first thing is that You belong to me. And the second thing, because You belong to me, is that You belong to others also.” And the first-grade devotee says, “No, no, no, that's not the correct approach. You belong to me and You belong to me only and not to others. The relationship is purely personal. I don't know any philosophy, I don't know any occult science. I know that You are mine and I am Yours. In this realm of relationship I do not allow any third person to come. The relationship is purely mutual. I will share anything and everything with others; but You are one hundred percent mine.” I hope you boys and you girls belong to the first grade of devotees. That is, the relationship is a personal one. And regarding this personal relationship there are some other important aspects of philosophy. Now, in pure philosophy, Parama Puruśa is an impersonal entity. In occult science He is a blending of personal and impersonal entities. Just now I said that in philosophy Parama Puruśa is an impersonal Entity. He is the Nucleus of this Cosmic order. That Nucleus is certainly not a personal entity. Because He is above the scope of all mundane explanations. So He is certainly an impersonal entity. And in the realm of spiritual cult, He is a blending of personal and impersonal entities. That is, while approaching Him, while accepting Him as the only object of adoration, He is looked upon as a personal entity. But when His entitative existence is accepted not as the object of adoration but as the source of creation, in that case He is an impersonal entity. That's why I said that in the cult of spirituality He is a blending of personal and impersonal entities. But in the realm of devotion He is purely a personal Entity. He is mine, He is my Father, He is my closest relative. He is my bigger self. He is not a second entity; that is, the relationship is purely a personal one. There cannot be any love with an impersonal entity. One cannot be in love with an impersonal entity. Love requires a personal entity. Now as the relationship is a personal one, and as the entity of Parama Puruśa is purely a personal one in the field of divinity or in the field of devotion, the interpretation of the creation also varies from [[that of]] philosophy or that of occult spirituality. Ask a philosopher why this Universe was created, for what Parama Puruśa created this Universe. He will not be able to satisfy you with His reply. He will say “Perhaps this was His idea,” or “Perhaps that was His idea,” “Perhaps this was the motive,” “Perhaps that was the motive;” but the...

"Parahita'rtham va'unmanoso yatha'rthatvam satyam." Satya implies proper action of mind and the right use of words with the spirit of welfare. It has no English synonym. The word "true" or "truth" would be translated in Sam'skrta as "rta" (to state the fact). The Sa'dhaka is not asked to follow the path of rta. One is to practise Satya. The practical side of Satya is dependent on relativity, but its finality lies in Parama Brahma, the Supreme Spiritual Entity. That is why Brahma is often referred to as the "essence of Satya." "Satyam' jina'namanantam' Brahma." Even though the objective of a Sa'dhaka is to achieve that ultimate entity, in the process Sa'dhakas have to deal with the relativity of their surroundings. Humans are rational beings: they possess in varying degrees the capability to do what is necessary or good for humanity. In the realm of spirituality such thought, word or action has been defined as Satya. For example, a person rushes to you for shelter. You do not know whether he is guilty or not, or perhaps you know for certain that he is not guilty. He is followed by a ruffian bent on torturing him. If this terrified man seeks refuge in your house, and then the ruffian comes and asks you regarding his whereabouts ,what should you do? By adhering to rta or truth you would inform the ruffian of his whereabouts. Then if he is murdered, will you not be responsible for this murder? Your mistake may have resulted in the murder of an innocent person. By adhering to rta or truth you become indirectly guilty of this heinous crime. What would be your duty if you followed the correct interpretation of Satya? It would be not to reveal the whereabouts of the person and rather to misguide the aggressor so that the refugee may safely return home. Suppose your mother is taking food. A letter is received about the death of your maternal grandfather. If mother enquires about the contents of the letter, what reply will you give? If you adhere to "truth", you will reveal the news of her father's death, which will cause a great shock to her mind and she would not even be able to take her food. It would be preferable in this case to state that all is well in their family. After your mother has had her food, a mention of her father's illness would prepare the ground for her to bear the news of the tragedy. In this way, even though something other than truth was uttered, the dignity of Satya has been maintained. Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti - A'nanda Pu'rn'ima' 1957

The first lesson of human conduct is Yama Sa'dhana'. We shall discuss all the aspects of Yama Sa'dhana'. You know that Yama consists of five principles: Ahim'sa', Satya, Asteya, Brahmacarya and Aparigraha. "Ahim'sa'satya'steyam' Brahmacarya'parigraha'h yamah" The practice of these five principles achieves control by different processes. The word Sam'yama in Sam'skrta means "regulated conduct". It should be clearly understood that Sam'yama does not imply destroying something or somebody. A'nanda Pu'rn'ima' 1957 AHIM'SA' "Manova'kka'yaeh sarvabhu'ta' na'mapiida' namahim'sa'. Ahim'sa' means not inflicting pain or hurt on anybody by thought, word or action. This word is wrongly interpreted by many. Some so-called learned persons in fact, define the word ahim'sa' in such a manner that if one adheres to it strictly, it is impossible to live not only in a society but also in forests, hills and caves. In such an interpretation of the term ahim'sa', not only is killing prohibited, but even to fight a defensive fight is not allowed. By tilling the land one may cause the death of innumerable insects and creatures under the earth's surface. Therefore, the use of a plough is not permissible. The followers of such an interpretation of ahim'sa' say that those who want to lead a religious life should not use the plough themselves, but employ other low-born people to do the same to save themselves from the sin of destroying life. Sugar must be poured into the abodes of the ants; no matter whether human beings have food or not. The poor must spare their blood from their bodies to save insects, the born enemies of human beings. This is no definition of ahim'sa'. It merely causes confusion. It is contrary to true dharma; it is against the very laws of existence. Even the process of respiration involves the death of numberless microbes. They are all living beings and to save them one will have to stop breathing. The administration of medicines to the suffering will have to be stopped, because such medicines cause the destruction of disease-causing bacteria. If ahim'sa' is so interpreted, where will such interpreters be able to stand? They will have to give up even filtered water, because the process of filtration of water means destroying the insects that cause impurity. It is also not possible to drink impure water, because then it is likely that such microbes might die in the stomach. In the post-Vedic age this type of ahim'sa' was practised in India for a long period, and as a result life for ordinary citizens became very miserable. The populace viewed with fear the religion dominated by this so-called ahim'sa'. They were forced to accept an atheistic belief, and they left the path of dharma. Devoid of any code of conduct, and intent on giving first preference to their own selfishness, such atheists became a burden to the society and to the world. Those who wanted to enforce the so-called ahim'sa'-influenced religion, became impractical and impotent by nature. Thus there is a pressing need in the modern age to re-think these historical facts from a new angle of vision. This age was followed by another wherein another new definition of the word ahim'sa' was propagated. According to this definition, him'sa' meant to cause pain to living beings, but did not include the slaughter of animals for food. This idea is very much mistaken. If causing pain amounts to him'sa', the slaughter of animals for food must also be called him'sa', because the animals do not offer their heads willingly at the altar of death for this cause. Recently one more interpretation for this word has been heard. It somewhat resembles the second definition described earlier, but it even lacks the simplicity or sincerity of that interpretation. According to this interpretation, ahim'sa' means non-violence or non-application of force. Possibly it is this interpretation which has distorted most the meaning of ahim'sa'. In all actions of life, whether small or big, the unit mind...

Morality is the foundation of Sa'dhana' (spiritual practice). It must, however, be remembered that morality or good conduct is not the culminating point of the spiritual march. As a moralist one may set an ideal for other moralists, but to do this is not something worth mentioning for a Sa'dhaka (spiritual aspirant). Sa'dhana', in its very start, requires mental equilibrium. This sort of mental harmony may also be termed as morality. People often say, "I follow neither a religion nor rituals; I abide by truth; I harm nobody and I tell no lies. This is all that is necessary; nothing more need be done or learnt. " It should be clearly understood that morality is only an effort to lead a well-knit life. It will be more correct to define morality as a dynamic force rather than a static one, because balance in the extroversal spheres of life is maintained by waging a pauseless war against all opposite ideas. It is not an intro-external equilibrium. If the unbalanced state of mind takes a serious turn by pressure of external allurement, and if the mental disturbance is found to be intense, it is likely that the power for internal struggle may yield and consequently the external equilibrium, the show of morality, may at any moment break down. That is why morality is, no doubt, not the goal, not even a static force. The morality of a moralist may disappear at any moment. It cannot be said with any certainty that the moralist who has resisted the temptation of a bribe of two rupees would also be able to resist the temptation of an offer of two hundred thousand rupees. Nevertheless, morality is not absolutely valueless in human life. Morality is an attribute of a good citizen and it is the starting-point on the path of Sa'dhana'. Moral ideals must be able to furnish human beings with the ability as well as the inspiration to proceed on the path of Sa'dhana'. Morality depends on one's efforts to maintain a balance regarding time, place and person and therefore there may be differences in moral code. But the ultimate end of moralism is the attainment of Supreme bliss and therefore there should not be any possibility of any imperfections of relativity. It cannot be said that the ultimate aim of human life is not to commit theft; what is desirable is that the tendency to commit theft should be eliminated. Not to indulge in falsehood is not the aim of life; what is important is that the tendency of telling lies should be dispelled from one's mind. The Sa'dhaka starts spiritual practices with the principles of morality, of not indulging in theft or falsehood. The aim of such morality is attainment of such a state of Oneness with Brahma where no desire is left for theft; and all tendencies of falsehood disappear. In the Sa'dhana' of A'nanda Ma'rga, moral education is imparted with this ideal of oneness with Brahma, because Sa'dhana' is not possible without such a moral ideation. Sa'dhana' devoid of morality will divert people again towards material enjoyments and at any moment they may use their mental power, acquired with much hardship, to quench their thirst for meagre physical objects. There are many who have fallen from the path of Yoga or Tantra Sa'dhana' and are spending their days in disrepute and infamy. Whatever little progress they achieved through forcible control of their instincts, was lost in a moment's error in pursuit of mundane pleasures. It must, therefore, be emphasized that even before beginning Sa'dhana', one must follow moral principles strictly. Those who do not follow these principles should not follow the path of Sa'dhana'; otherwise they will bring about their own harm and that of others. A'ca'ryas must have noticed that people of over-selfish nature fear A'nanda Ma'rga itself for fear of following its strict moral principles. They are concerned that the spread of A'nanda Ma'rga may inconvenience the fulfilment of their mean, selfish desires and therefore, they malign the Ma'rga in an effort to conceal their own...

Viveka (conscience) is a special kind of deliberation. Deliberation (vicára) is the endeavour to select a particular idea from several ideas. If a particular person is presented to you as a criminal, then there are two opposing ideas before you: the guilt of the man or his innocence. The process whereby one comes to a conclusion after deliberating upon these two opposing ideas is called vicára. When you finally make your decision it is called siddhánta (conclusion). Conscience (viveka) is defined as a special type of vicára (deliberation). The denotation of vicára is broader than that of viveka. A thief, on entering his victim’s house, considers whether it would be better to start stealing in the dining room or the sitting room. This is a kind of deliberation after which the thief reaches his conclusion. This deliberation is vicára and not viveka. Viveka is that kind of deliberation where there is a conscious endeavour to decide in favour of shreya (benevolence) when confronted with the two opposing ideas of shreya and preya (malevolence). Viveka is of five types, and their collective name is viveka paiṋcaka. The first type is nityánitya viveka (discrimination between permanent and impermanent). Whenever an intelligent person ponders over something, he or she discerns its two aspects – the permanent and the impermanent. The attempt to accept the permanent aspect after due deliberation is called nityánitya viveka. The permanent is not dependent on the relative factors of time, space and person, whereas the impermanent is the collectivity of the relative factors. The best way to recognize the impermanent is that if one of the three relative factors is changed it will undergo an immediate transformation. Nityánitya viveka enables human beings to realize the necessity of observing dharma. It helps them to understand the fundamental differences between dharma and religion, or doctrine. Religion is something entirely relative whereas dharma is a permanent truth. The first characteristic of religion is that it gives excessive importance to a single individual. Different regions claim that such-and-such great personality (mahápuruśa) is a son of God, a prophet, or even God himself. However wise these great persons might be, they are nevertheless mortal. Some also claim that the propounders of other religions could not come as close to God as their own propounder did. These words are not only irrational, but contain a concealed attempt to make the impermanent permanent. Dharma is an eternal truth credible and does not depend on any individual, prophet or avatára (direct descent of God) for its substantiation. The goal of dharma is the attainment of Brahma; its base and its movement are Brahma-centered. Brahma is the Absolute Entity independent of time, space and person; He is permanent. Brahma sádhaná, therefore, is the sádhaná for the attainment of the permanent entity. Through nityánitya viveka, human beings become aware of the fleeting nature of transient objects. They observe that with change in time, place and person, corresponding changes occur in social, political, economic, and all other spheres of life take to which they have to adapt themselves. Those who are reluctant to adapt themselves to the changed circumstances are doomed to destruction. A religion or an “ism” is created in a certain age which itself is a product of the three factors of time, place and person. However, the religion does not recognize the necessity of adjustment with the change in social life. It refuses to realize that the old rules and regulations of the previous age are now only mere historical records, having lost their relevance in the present dynamic society. To stifle the progress of humanity, the followers of these religions play on human sentiments and other weaknesses. They want to perpetuate the hold of the vested interests by infusing an inferiority complex into the human mind. While preaching their religious ideas, some claim that the...

Those who want to establish universal equality or social parity by law or bayonet alone shall fail. They will not be able to effect a change of heart without a planned expedient, or to rectify character without any moral or ideal basis. In communism, the spontaneity of natural self-expression gets gagged by force. To remain suppressed like this is against the grain of human characteristics. The suppressed mind will evolve its own way of self-expression; it will have to revolt. (Human Society I, 72) Like any other problem, economic problems have only one solution: genuine love for humanity. It is this love that will direct humanity in what should and should not be done. For this, one need not study volumes of books. It will not be necessary to depend upon those who play with the fortunes of the mute populace. It is only necessary to look upon humanity with honest sympathy. (Human Society I, 78) "The world belongs to the toiling mass." If one accepts this maxim as the last word, it will amount to a denial of valuable intellectual labor. We cannot attach more importance to the problems of one section of society over another. While attending to the problems of the people, we shall first assess their financial and mental needs and then proceed to help them with love and humanistic concern, irrespective of their particular group, occupation or status. (Human Society I, 82) It is but natural that only a few persons can attain opulence. The laborers are in the majority and, having united together, are bent upon annihilating the predominance of the capitalists. This is why we are getting an indication of the impending predominance of the workers. But shall the predominance of the laborers remain as the final order? Will not the progress of the world and the evolution of the Self be hindered if control over the society is left to the workers? People have begun realizing what should be the framework of a blissful society - it is improper for any section of the society to gain predominance over the rest. The predominance of one implies the inevitable exploitation of the others. Therefore a society should be established wherein equal opportunities and equal rights may be offered to each and all. (Su'bha's'ita Sam'graha I, 5) Those who advocate a materialistic philosophy but are not moralists and spiritualists cannot effect such [progressive] changes. Only those who have the Cosmic Goal and Cosmic Ideation as the highest goal of their lives and who are universalists in the true sense of the term can effect such adjustments. Due to their enlarged vision and expanded consciousness, they bestow their love and affection upon one and all. They cannot cause any injustice in a particular age or to a particular person. Hence the Era of the sadvipra is both the prayer and the demand of the suppressed and oppressed humanity. (Abhimata, The Opinion, 136) One must remember, theories are not the liberators of human beings. The liberator is that lofty ability which helps to keep open every small or large vista of sentient existence - that vigorous capability which fuses the hard reality of existence with the ultimate reach of the visionary world. (Human Society I, 77) Public education is one of the fundamental needs for a successful and smooth-running democracy. In some places even people of education misutilize their voting rights. People cast their votes according to the dictates and persuasion of the pseudo-leadership. Is it not a farce in the name of democracy? Hence the spread of education and proper knowledge is essential. Education does not mean literacy alone. To my mind, education means proper and adequate knowledge and power of understanding. In other words, education is perfect knowledge of what I am and what I should do. (Abhimata, The Opinion, 140) Morality is the second fundamental factor for the success of democracy. In the absence of morality, people sell their votes. There are a few countries in the world where votes are being sold and...

As long as you exist, you have to perform service. The moment you stop, you will fall into an abyss. You should not do this! It is your nature to carry yourself from narrowness to vastness, from greatness to divinity. It is against your nature to allow yourself to fall into an abyss. You long for eternal bliss, you endeavour for eternal life, and you are fused with that very unending life in the circulation of your blood and in the rhythmic vibrations of the contractions of your heart. You have been listening day and night to the voice of eternal youth. In the state of Supreme Attainment and Supreme Realization, you will be infused with boundless knowledge. O human being! Be established in the radiance of godliness, in manliness, because yours is a path of a revolution. Yours is not a path of extra caution and hesitant movement. You are travelers on a difficult path. You have to march ahead, with head held high and with your chest forward. You have not a moment to stagger or look behind. (Subha's'ita Sam'graha I, 119) O human beings! You are fortunate. The clarion call of the Universal has reached you. That very call is vibrating in every cell of your body. Will you now lie inert in the corner of your house? Will you now waste your time clutching ancient skeletons to your breast and moaning over them? The Supreme Being is calling you in the roar of the ocean, in the thunder of the clouds, in the speed of the lightning, in the meteor's flaming fires. Nothing will come of remaining idle. Get up and awaken the clouded chivalry of your dormant youth. The path may not be strewn with flowers - an inferiority complex may seek to hold back your every advancing footstep, but even then you have to proceed onward, tearing the shroud of darkness. You will soon rend the thick darkness of despair on the way to the attainment of the Supreme State, and advance onwards in the swift-moving chariot, radiant with the sun's brilliance. (Subha's'ita Sam'graha I, THE THOUGHTS OF P.R. SARKAR O CHAMADO DO UNIVERSAL Enquanto você existir, você tem de prestar serviço. No momento em que você parar, cairá num abismo. Você não deveria fazer isso. É sua natureza levar-se da estreiteza à vastidão, da grandeza à divindade. É contra sua natureza permitir-se cair no abismo. Você anseia por bem-aventurança eterna, você se esforça pela vida eterna, você se infunde com essa mesma infindável vida na circulação do seu sangue e nas vibrações rítmicas das contrações do seu coração. Você tem ouvido dia e noite a voz da juventude eterna. No estado do Alcance Supremo e da Realização Suprema, você será preenchido com o conhecimento ilimitado. Ó ser humano! Estabeleça-se no esplendor da Divindade, da dignidade, porque seu caminho é de revolução. Seu caminho não é o da cautela e do movimento hesitante. Vocês são viajantes de um caminho difícil. Vocês têm de marchar adiante, com cabeça erguida e peito para frente. Vocês não tem um momento sequer para cambalear ou olhar para trás. (Subhásita Sam’graha I) Ó ser humano! Você é afortunado. O chamado do clarim do Universal chegou a você. Este chamado está vibrando em cada célula de seu corpo. Você se deitará inerte num canto de sua casa? Você vai perder seu tempo apertando esqueletos velhos contra seu peito, e lamuriando-se deles? O Ser Supremo está chamando você no bramir do oceano, no trovejar das nuvens, na velocidade do relâmpago, nos flamejantes fogos do meteoro. Nada sucederá ficando-se ocioso. Levante-se e desperte a bravura enevoada de sua juventude adormecida. O caminho pode não ser coberto de flores – um complexo de inferioridade pode tentar refrear todo passo avante, mas, mesmo assim, você deve prosseguir à frente, rasgando a mortalha da escuridão. Logo você dissipará as densas trevas do desespero no caminho para a realização do Estado Supremo, e avançará na carruagem veloz, radiante com o brilho sol. (Subhásita Sam’graha I)OS PENSAMENTOS DE P.R.SARKAR

Today there is catastrophe and misery in the human society and there is one reason: defective leadership of society. People blindly follow even the unintelligent leaders. The leaders hypnotise and attract thousands with their tall talks, gestures and other dramatics. You should know that the poverty and misery of people in any country are the sins of the leaders. True leaders should always be vigilant and think how to work best for the human society; they must be ever cautious that under their guidance the people are not led to darkness, death and immorality. (Supreme Expression II, 143) Those who proceed to play "the leader" in attempting to build a benevolent society without having undergone meticulous self-preparation and self-discipline through intuitional practice, will not only bring about their own downfall but will lead the entire humanity to disaster as well. (Human Society I, 76) Those who make attempts to disturb human unity are mainly motivated by group politics. In fact, this malady is even more dangerous than germs. It gradually brings about a complete destruction of the various attributes of the human mind: fine taste, simplicity, spirit of service, etc. In this, the party stamp is more valuable than the individual ability. To politicians the main objective is not social service but the service of the self, not welfare but the ministry. To deceive the mass to exhibit political acrobatics - all these are very common with them. Without trying to mend themselves they want to do everything only through their eloquence. With a thorough understanding of the public they instigate them to quarrel with one another and by self-applause they want to take possession of, or maintain power. People should remain vigilant of them. They want to poke their noses in every aspect of social life - religious life, education, literary spheres, etc. One cannot acquire knowledge and proficiency in different walks of life only by speaking high-sounding words from lecture platforms. By virtue of these high-sounding words they want to remain in oblivion due to the allurement of power. (Problem of the Day, 41) In the end, those political hypocrits will have to depend solely on the strength of arms. In this way it is found that brute force is the only source of strength for such politicians. (Problem of the Day, 44) Many people say that different national interests are the only hurdle in the formation of a world body. In my opinion, this is not the only obstruction, rather, this is just a minor difficulty. The real cause lies in the local leaders' fear of losing their control. Upon the establishment of the world federation, the powerful influence which they enjoy today in different countries will cease to exist. (Problem of the Day, 30) In all walks of present-day life, the dark shadows of immorality are fast taking definite shapes and hampering human progress. It requires a very strong moral force to wipe out this filth of immorality. One cannot expect this moral force from a government power functioning within a democratic structure. We must expect it from the non-political side. The government, be it fascist, imperialist, republican, dictatorial, bureaucratic or democratic, is sure to become tyrannical if there is no moral force to check the capricious activities of the leaders of the party in power. (Great Universe, 251) Social life cannot be elevated merely by speeches delivered from political platforms; political leaders cannot produce sadvipras by their rhetoric. Besides, who are those who deliver lectures from platforms? Are they not the people who sling the mud of political censure on others? Most of them are blind after power. What will they teach others? Mental and spiritual training alone can create sadvipras. Sadvipras are only those who are perfect in morality and aspirants of the Supreme Consciousness. (Problem of the Day, 48) Those who wish to purify society of all defects will have to keep an eye on every human being;...

Sadvipras are those whose all efforts are directed towards the attainment of Bliss. They are strong in morality and always ready to wage war against immoral activities. Those who strictly adhere to the principles of morality, are ensconced in sacrificing service (Tapah) and are ready to wage war against immoralists are sadvipras. Only those sadvipras are safe from destruction and extinction who can work for the welfare of the human society. Therefore, it becomes the prime duty of everyone to make themselves and others sadvipras. ("The Future of Civilization," Cosmic Society, 1967) Sadvipras will wage a ceaseless, pactless struggle against immorality and all sorts of divisive tendencies. Those who pose to be righteous (dharmic) but are timid with the spirit of fight cannot be called sadvipras. ("The Future of Civilization," Cosmic Society, 1967) The function of the sadvipra shall, therefore, be to see that the dominating or ruling classes do not have any scope for exploitation. The moment one class turns to be exploiters, the life of the majority becomes miserable; a few enjoy at the cost of many whose lot is only to suffer. More than that, in such a stage of society, both the few and the many get degenerated. The few exploiters degenerate themselves due to excess of physical enjoyments, and the many exploited cannot elevate themselves because all their energy is taken up in mundane problems and all their mental waves are always tending to attain psycho-physical parallelism, thus getting day by day cruder. Hence for the physical, mental and spiritual welfare of the administrator and the administered of the society as a whole, it is essential that no one should be given any scope to exploit the rest of society. (Idea and Ideology, 87) Those spiritual revolutionaries who work to achieve such progressive changes for human elevation on a well-thought, pre-planned basis whether in the physical, metaphysical or spiritual sphere, by adhering to the principles of morality, are sadvipras. (Idea and Ideology, 85) For those who lack in physical pabula, minimum requirements will have to be guaranteed; otherwise they will become sinners. If you don't give, you will meet your waterloo. If your neighbor's house is on fire, your house will also catch fire. To issue minimum requirements to everyone, both strong administration and intellectual approach are necessary. Those who will do this will be called sadvipras. In the absence of sadvipras, society cannot survive. ("The Three Causes of Sin") People will recognize sadvipras by their conduct, their devotion to service, their dutifulness and their moral integrity. These sadvipras will declare firmly, "All human beings are of the same caste," "All human beings have equal rights," "All human beings are brothers and sisters." These sadvipras will give a stern warning to the exploiters of the society: "Human exploitation will not be tolerated. No exploitation will be allowed on the pretext of religion." Rallying around the saffron flag, a symbol of sacrifice, they will devote themselves to the service of widely scattered units of the human society and proclaim loudly, "Human beings of the world, unite!" (Problem of the Day, 59) Today I extend my earnest request to all reasonable, virtuous and moral fighters that they form a good, well-disciplined sadvipra society without further delay. These sadvipras shall work for the good of all countries, for the all-round emancipation of all humanity. ("The Three Causes of Sin") The sadvipra is not an inactive witness. S/he is an active participant to see that no person or class exploits the rest. For this, s/he may have to resort even to physical violence, because the sadvipra will have to strike at the source of the power which is tending to become the exploiter. (Idea and Ideology, 88) Those who have a correct philosophy and a correct spiritual practice based on the principles of morality (Yama and Niyama) will be the guiding personalities of the society of...

There should be one universal legal and criminal code for the universal humanity. It is not at all desirable that there be different laws for different people, different countries, different communities. All laugh in happiness, cry in sorrow, beat their breasts in mourning. Why must we separate human from human with a thousand and one imaginary distinctions? (Human Society I, 136) "Crimes" are acts forbidden by the law of the government concerned, and "virtue" and "vice" are the outcome of traditional customs. The sentiments of the lawmakers are very much influenced by the current concepts of virtue and vice of the locality or of the people concerned. The sense of crime, therefore, runs parallel to the concepts of virtue and vice which vary from country to country. Those working toward world fraternity should try to lessen the difference between social, traditional, moral and human laws. All those actions which help in the spiritual, mental and physical growth of humanity should come under the category of virtuous deeds and those actions which impede the spiritual, mental and physical development of humanity must be considered vice. This conception of virtue and vice applies for humanity in general. (Idea and Ideology, 93) Suppose you see a person steal something. If you see externally, you will see the man stealing. He should be punished. Shouldn't he be punished? Yes, he should be punished. This is ordinary seeing. But if you apply your inner vision, i.e., intuitional sight, you see that the man was without food for four days, and so under pressure of circumstances, he had to steal. So after this inner seeing, this inner vision, you will come to the decision that we will remodel the socio-economic structure so that never is he compelled to steal under pressure of circumstances, because of being hungry for several days. When I started A'nanda Ma'rga, I wanted the entire humanity to stand upon the strict code of cardinal principles, human values and spirituality, and when I saw everything internally I came to the decision that there are so many loopholes in the human society. Human beings came here about one million years ago but have not yet been able to form a well-knit social order. We require a strong social order. That's why I had to create another branch of philosophy known as PROUT, through which we are to remodel the social order so that nobody is compelled to resort to immorality for lack of food or clothes or other necessities of life. (Baba in Fiesch, 183) The path that lies before thieves who steal out of need is extremely narrow. The solution wholly depends on the strong economic foundation of the state concerned and of the whole world. If anybody is to be blamed for the poverty and social injustice which leads to crime, we will have to blame every national leader in the world. Those who make beasts of people by making them victims of circumstances, to my mind, are the very people to stand trial, if anyone is to be tried and judged at all. (Human Society I, 117) The first cause of sin is: shortage of physical and psychic resources. If there is lack of physical necessities, people are not able to follow the higher pursuits of life. A person's discrimination is easily disturbed; with a little anger even an intellectual utters crude words. Hence, due to a shortage of physical wealth, people become restless, lose their discrimination, and become brutal. It is because of this that communism has tended toward brutality. Likewise, if there is a dearth of intellectual resources and the intellectual standard of the people is not high, they may confuse do's and don'ts. An example is a riot in which an innocent little boy is killed. The one who encourages the riot becomes the people's leader. Because the intellectual standard of the people is low, they commit blunders prompted by these leaders and become beasts. In those countries which are backward or where the socio-politico-economic consciousness is less, immoral,...

EDUCATION In every sphere of life - social, economic, mental and spiritual - making human beings conscious of their rights leads to the expansion of knowledge, and the full application of these rights is called the cultivation of science. Neglected people who, for whatever reasons, have not pursued knowledge and science, should be given full opportunities. There should be no discrimination. It is true, however, that self-seeking vested interests have taken advantage of the ignorance of the people, and have taken over in every field: social, economic, psychological and spiritual. They don't want the ignorant to receive the light of wisdom, or the low-caste to climb the social ladder, or the hungry to have square meals, or the superstitious to banish their superstitions. They do not want all people to acquire spiritual and scientific knowledge, to have equal opportunities to attain the kingdom of God. In order to remove this false distinction between the "literate" and the "illiterate", human values have to be recognized. Knowledge and science will be as free as light and air - they will be like a free-flowing spring, keeping all alive, supplying vital energy constantly to the human society. (Human Society I, 61) In regard to intellect, living beings may be divided into two main groups - those who want to share their wisdom, and those who do not want to. The more a group favours the sharing of wisdom, the more is their social instinct; and those who do not, their collective social mind cannot develop in the proper way due to lack of mutual understanding. Humans are beings of social inclination. Persons with social spirit must always remember that those who have little strength and ability at their disposal, those who have not, by Nature, been endowed with the power to survive the struggle for life, must always be led along in companionship. The greater this effort to accompany the helpless people, the more civilized those persons are, and the more proper their judgement. They are the really social-minded individuals, who accept in warm embrace the so-called low, base or discarded people. (Supreme Expression II, 119) When those at the helm of society despise others, a sizeable catastrophe arises. This outlook of looking down upon others is not always born of a superiority complex. In many cases a person may ridicule others to cover up his or her own ignorance. This egoistic feeling of superiority is detrimental to society. No matter what the education, intelligence, features, virtues, rank or age of an individual, everyone should bear in mind that the one s/he considers inferior, may excel him in some sphere. I have already said and I say it again - seventy-five percent of the troubles that overrun human society are due to theinjustices inflicted upon one person by another. (Human Society I, 86) In my opinion those who take refined behaviour to be the criterion of education, commit a great mistake, for the identity of a person is not limited to one's demeanour alone but it is reflected in one's pervasive large-heartedness. Apologizing, after bumping a person, knowingly or unknowingly with an, 'Oh sorry', without enquiring as to what extent the person is hurt, is considered enough for refinement and this is the law of so-called civility. But we don't find in this any indication of really sincere warmth of heart. Here the proof of education can only be seen if some healing balm is liberally applied to the wound of the injured man - if, even to the detriment of his own interest, the offender tries his utmost to mitigate his troubles. (Human Society I, 57) They are "educated" who have learned much, remembered much, and make use of their knowledge in everyday life. Their virtues I will call education. (Human Society I, 56) Real education is that which leads to liberation. (Supreme Expression II, 74) We should remember that morality, spirituality and humanity, and a happy blending of occidental extroversal science and oriental...

SCIENCE The proper use of things varies according to time, place and person. One must be progressive in the practical use of every object, every idea. Through progressive scientific research we have to make increasingly greater use of human potentials. In an era of advanced science, the use of tools and apparatus from a less developed era is by no means a sign of progress. The use of developed tools and materials, evolved through dynamic and progressive imagination, may create small or large obstacles in the way of society; you will have to face them courageously. Through fight and clash you have to march on to victory, to the path of vindication of universalism, the cherished goal of your life. (A'nanda Su'tram, 58) Today some people claim that science is the root of all evils and that frequent new scientific discoveries and inventions have been creating quarrels and dissensions in human society, thereby pushing the whole human civilization along the path of destruction. It is evident that those who criticize science, in reality want to turn the onward current of life backward. This is wholly inimical to progress. Such an endeavor is indicative of a negative mentality. If science remains completely in the hands of materialists, the consequence will be hopelessness and despair. If conflicts among different classes go on unabated, people will eventually realize that only sadvipras can be the leaders of society. The majority of individual as well as social problems can be solved by sadvipras through the proper cultivation of science. (Abhimata, The Opinion, 122) The population of the world is increasing rapidly. In fact, this has frightened many people. Under a capitalistic framework there are sufficient reasons for such fear. In those countries an increase in population means corresponding decrease in the property of the people. But there is no reason for such fear in a collective economic system. In the event of shortage in foodstuff and housing of the masses, we will convert barren land into green fields with cooperative efforts, and productivity will be increased by scientific advances. (Problem of the Day, 37) My personal opinion is that atom bombs can never destroy human civilization totally, for human beings have not yet become intellectually bankrupt. So I cannot but come to the clear conclusion that humanity is sure to discover in the very near future a counter-device to forestall this atomic menace. And this will also conclusively establish the fact that science indeed has a great and sublime role to play in the sphere of human welfare. (Abhimata, The Opinion, 132) It is a fact that the temperature of the sun will gradually decrease. One day it will become a dead star. The conversion of the sun into a dead star will mean a similar fate for its planets. The earth then will not be a congenial place to live. But the destruction of a particular planet or solar system does not mean the end of the human race. There are numerous other stars and planets in the universe. With the further development of science and with the help of interplanetary transportation, human beings will move to other planets. The dream of today will become the reality of tomorrow. ("The Future of Civilization") THE THOUGHTS OF P.R. SARKAR

Morality is the foundation of spiritual practices. It must, however, be remembered that morality or good conduct is not the culminating point of the spiritual march. As a moralist one may set an ideal for other moralists, but this is not even worth mentioning for a spiritual aspirant. Spiritual practice in its very inception requires mental equilibrium. This sort of mental harmony may also be termed morality. (A Guide to Human Conduct, 1) People often say, "I follow neither a religion nor rituals; I abide by truth; I harm nobody and I tell no lies, and this is all that is necessary. Nothing more need be done or learned." It should be clearly understood that morality is only an effort to lead a well-knit life. It is more correct to define morality as a dynamic force rather than a static one, because the balance in external spheres of life is only maintained by waging a war against all opposing forces. If the mind is pressured by an external allurement and there is intense mental disturbance, the force for internal struggle may yield; consequently the external equilibrium or the show of morality may at any moment break down. That is why morality is not the goal. Morality may disappear at any moment. It cannot be said that the moralist who has resisted the temptation of a bribe of two dollars would also be able to resist the temptation of an offer of two hundred thousand dollars. Nevertheless, morality is not absolutely valueless in a person's life. Morality is an attribute of a good citizen and it is the starting point on the path of spiritual practice. (A Guide to Human Conduct, 1) It cannot be said that the ultimate aim of human life is not to commit theft; what is desirable is that the tendency to commit theft should be eliminated. The aim of life is not that one will not indulge in falsehood; what is important is that the tendency of telling a lie should be dispelled from one's mind. The aim of such morality is the attainment of that state of oneness with God where no desire is left for theft and all tendencies of falsehood disappear. (A Guide to Human Conduct, 2) The intelligent do not allow their mental purity to be stained even for a moment. To cleanse the mental sphere, force must be applied to remove the impurities, internal or external. This application of force must be a special type of action. When the impurity of selfishness enters every cavity of the mind and makes life a heavy burden, it has to be burned and melted in the fire of spiritual practices. Such a practice is just the reverse of meanness and selfishness; it is the effort to remove any impurities, any black spots from the mind. A feeling of selflessness, of universalism is the only remedy for cleansing mental impurity. Those who are fascinated or tempted by an object can gradually rid themselves of the mental pollution arising from their selfish motives by adopting just the reverse course. Those who are very greedy for money should form the habit of charity and serve humanity through that practice. Those who are very angry or egoistic ought to inculcate in themselves the habit of being polite, and should serve humanity through that practice. Therefore only selfless service to humanity and efforts to look upon the world with a cosmic outlook can establish one in mental purity. (A Guide to Human Conduct, 37) Morality is the base, sa'dhana' (spiritual practice) is the means, and Life Divine the goal. "Social Value and Human Cardinal Principle") In society, on one hand we see a crowd of anti-social elements, and on the other hand, a sense of frustration among the moralists. These moralists have therefore developed a tendency to go out of the society. With more wealth and strength, the anti-social elements are in the advantageous position; the moralists appear to be the culprits. This state of affairs is neither desirable nor proper and should not be allowed to continue any longer. Your duty will be to unite the moralists. Let there be two camps. Let there be...

HUMAN VALUE It is customary to prefer social value to human value. The sadvipras want to strike at the root of this custom. To them, human value precedes social value. Human beings form the society, and hence human value should lay the foundation for social value. Human value means to treat the joys and woes, hopes and aspirations of human beings sympathetically, and set them on the pedestal of divinity after leading them to the Cosmic Consciousness. And if they are to elevate themselves to that sublime height, they will have to be provided with an environment suitable to their physical, mental and spiritual existence. It is the birthright of everyone to progress in their trifarious existence. It is the duty of society to accord recognition to this right of humanity. Society has failed to do its duty and that is why life is full of sorrows and sufferings. Nobody can say for certain that no great man would have emerged from among those wayward boys whom we tend to slight and hate. The woman who has embraced whoredom for the sake of her physical existence might have grown into a noble personality if her agony had been appreciated sympathetically and if she were accepted by society. But since society has nothing to do with human values, a good number of great personalities are withering away in their embryonic stage. The sadvipras will pick up this neglected humanity and arrange for its revival. To them no sinner is contemptible, no one is a rogue. People turn into satans or sinners when for lack of proper guidance they are goaded by depraving propensities. If their depraving propensities are sublimated, they will no longer be satans; they will be transformed into gods. Every course of action of society ought to be judged with an eye to the dictum, "Human beings are divine children." ("Social Value and Human Cardinal Principle") But when the question of delegating social responsibility arises, it will be considered with care and caution. An irresponsible person cannot be entrusted with social responsibility. If those who shoulder this responsibility are themselves sinners, then it will not be possible for them to discharge their social responsibility. Unless and until they correct themselves, they will not be given any social value, although they will in no way be deprived of human value. ("Social Value and Human Cardinal Principle") At present the worth of life is ascertained with an eye to money. One who possesses wealth commands respect and passes for a noble person. Nowadays if you have no money you cannot expect to get honour. The poor people belonging to all other classes have to woo the moneyed people just for the sake of earning a livelihood. Human values are taboo here. Human beings are now but a medium of earning money. The rich have purchased all the brains with their money. They have bidden farewell to all their human values and at the same time they are busy playing a chess game with the lives of the other members of society. Bereft of everything, the people toil around the clock to live from hand to mouth. Those who are at the helm of society are absorbed in strife and suspicion, or in reckoning their loss and profit. They have no desire to think of humanity. In order to gratify their self-interest they are ready to chew the humans' bones. There is no room for mercy, sympathy, or fellow-feeling. All are self-centered. ("Social Value and Human Cardinal Principle") Whoever violates the principles of morality (Yama-Niyama) should not get the opportunity of representing the people. If power is given to an incompetent person, it will be equivalent to leading society astray in cold blood. Sadvipras will install fit persons in power, and the social order which will be evolved by virtue of their leadership will give due importance to each and everybody. In this new society based on neo-humanism, every person will find his or her life worth living. Human beings will get back their position of honour. ("Social Value and...

Wise people say that in the past there had been so many crises in the human society. Crisis is quite natural for something moving. Where there is movement there is struggle - struggle against the inertia of the earth. In the past there had been crises in the course of movement, crises in different branches of civilization, crises in the realm of education also. But nowadays, the entire human society is facing the crisis of civilization as a whole and particularly crisis in the field of existence. Now, the human society has to decide whether to live or to die. If the crisis of civilization as a whole and of existence is encouraged, humanity has no future. The future is dark, the future is sealed forever. But as you know, I am not a pessimist. I am always an optimist. And I want all my sons and daughters to be optimists. I also want that they should struggle against this death signal of humanity and come out successful. I am sure that you boys and you girls must be victorious. It is your duty to save humanity. I hope you will be able to save humanity because just like me, you are also optimistic. You should know that great or small, you people are few in number. You few are the torch bearers of human society. You are the pioneers, you are the vanguard of the human society. So it is your duty to save humanity. Those who are unable to shoulder their own bags and baggages, their responsibilities are to be shouldered by you. You should know that the life of spiritual aspirants is a mission - their entire existence is a mission. And your mission is, what? To save humanity from these crises. I hope, you will be successful. I not only hope, I am sure that you will be successful. (Discourse in Frankfurt, January, 1979) Some say that after thousands of years, there will be no humanity. Beings from other planets may come and see their fossilized existence, to see that there were creatures on this earth named human beings who were educated, who were intelligent, who used to build palaces, buildings, cities, but who have now become extinct due to their internal disunity and infighting. Do you want history to be written like this? Then preach the gospels of humanity everywhere - save the dying humanity. (Discourse in Caracas, Venezuela, 1979) Human civilization now faces the final moment of a critical juncture. The dawn of a glorious new era is on the one side, and the worn-out skeleton of the past on the other. Humanity has to adopt either one or the other. You are the spiritual soldiers, you are the worshippers of life divine. Hence I call upon you to adorn this crimson dawn deluged with glorious light. Victory is surely yours. (A'nanda Va'nii, January 1, 1967) THE THOUGHTS OF P.R. SARKAR

YOU ARE NEVER ALONE By P.R. Sarkar You are never alone or helpless. The force that guides the stars, guides you too. (Baba's Grace, 51) He appears to you according to your feelings toward Him. If you are subtle, He is nearest to you; if you are crude, He is farthest from you. Do you feel whether the Supreme Consciousness is in India or in America? He is so near as to be in your feelings, and so far as to be in a distant country. When you think He is here, He is nearer than here. He is so near that it is difficult to measure the distance. You go on searching for Him in the cavesof the Himalayas and wander here and there, and He is nowhere. But when you attain awareness of Him, you find that He was all along with you in your search. He was seated in your heart. ("God is With You") He is the witness of all the worlds, all the deeds done in this universe. Nothing is secret for Him. You cannot do anything nor think anything without being witnessed by Him. If anyone says, "I am not being witnessed by anybody," He will be witnessing this utterance. So as the witnessing Entity He is always with you. This is the greatest assurance, because when you know that He is with you, your mental strength will increase a thousand-fold, because He is always with you to help you. The only demerit is that as He is always with you, you cannot do anything secretly, you will be caught red-handed. But the merit is that because He is with you, you are never alone, you are never weak, you are never helpless. So the duty of a perfect human being, the duty of a spiritual aspirant is always to remember this supreme truth - that one is never alone, one is always with Supreme Father. He will always help you, and He will always accelerate the speed of your progress. (Discourse in Istanbul, Turkey, 1979) Whatever you do, the Supreme Consciousness sees everything. For Him no part of your being is closed or shut. He is the innermost part of your being. "Today I am very busy and have to attend a party so I shall do meditation (sa'dhana') for three or four minutes only." He knows that you are placing a party above sa'dhana'. He hears both your spoken words as well as the thought words. Actually He hears them first, before they become mental. He is, therefore, in full knowledge of all that goes on within and without and beneath the mind. Don't try to hide anything from Him - you will not succeed. (Baba's Grace, 103) He is with you always. You are never alone. Sometimes there arises in the mind a defeatest complex: "Oh, I am defeated in this project! Oh, I am defeated in this struggle for existence!" When your father is the Supreme Father, when your father is the most powerful entity in the entire universe, why should you think that you have been defeated in this struggle for existence? No! A bright future awaits you - your future is glorious, your future is luminous, your future is effulgent. (Discourse in Caracas, Venezuela, 1979) Now I am leaving this country and I am leaving you physically. I am always with you; I will always be with you. Physically I am leaving you, my sons and daughters, but I can't forget you, and mentally I will always be with you. I want all of you to be ideal human beings. All of you should attain the pinnacle of human glory. Let your existence be successful. I have nothing more to say. Peace be with you. My sons and my daughters, I have one more sentence to say. I do not belong to heaven. What I am, I am to express this truth in a single sentence - I am yours. (Departing message from the Philippines, 1969) No power in heaven and earth can separate me from my children. Even if this universe comes to an end, I will be with them in the expressionless Cosmos. My children - be they gentle, be they naughty - they are mine. (Supreme Expression I, 60)

MENTAL BALANCE BY P.R.SARKAR There are three categories of human beings. The first category comprises those whose thoughts, words and deeds are the same - which means whatever they think, they speak, and whatever they speak, they do. Such people are A-class people. The second category comprises those whose thoughts and words are different, but whatever they speak, they do - which means they think one thing and speak another, but they do whatever they speak. Such people are B-class people. The third category comprises those whose thoughts, words and deeds are different from each other and never the same. Such people think one thing, speak another, and do something altogether different. Such people are C-class people. Most of the leaders of the present-day world fall into this category. You should try to become A-class people. You should speak what you think, and you should do what you speak. (A'nanda Vacana'mrtam, 3) Suppose your boss arrives; you will welcome him and say, "Please come, sit down and have something to eat." You flatter him but inside you say, "What a trouble has arrived! When will he go?" This is not known to your boss. Thus, two "I's" are within you; one performs action in the external world, and the other is inside. You are well-acquainted with this inner "I", but others do not have the correct information about it. Spiritual practice (sa'dhana'), therefore, is to unify the two, the internal "I" and the external "I", into one. Two-ness in one single personality of human beings is their disease. The greater the gap between these two "I's", the more you will undergo psychic torment. You must remember that in this second half of the 20th Century there is a great gap between the internal "I" and external "I". And because of the trouble in adjusting these two "I's" there is an increase in the number of lunatics. This is the greatest disease of the 20th Century. ("Paramapurusa") Lord Buddha said: Win falsehood by truth, win the miserly with generosity, win anger by non-anger. The intelligent thing for you to do would be never to get angry. Be moral in the midst of immorality and falsehood. If you have this skill, you will triumph in any battle. You will remain unassailed. (A'nanda Vacana'mrtam, 48) In reality, human beings want neither joy nor sorrow. They seek mental peace and quietude. In daily life, a person comes in contact with different kinds of people. At times one even fights with some people. How will one find mental peace? Those who do injustice will also suffer injustice. The people who do injustice will lose their mental balance in any fight. Those who do no injustice wil be able to maintain their mental balance in their fight against injustice. This is the characteristic of a person who has attained mental quietude. (A'nanda Vacana'mrtam, 47) You see now that Ananda Marga's fame is on the rise. What should we do? We must maintain our mental balance and remain indifferent to both praise and slander, to both joy and sorrow. When I was in jail, I was subjected to a lot of calumny by some people. These very people now praise me. But I was indifferent to all their slander, and now I do not want their adulation. (A'nanda Vacana'mrtam, 47) To understand my nature you must do meditation. I keep no ambiguity, I am clear, concrete, conclusive. My philosophy is a complete philosophy, a complete way of life. I am complete in myself, and I want every person to be complete in themselves. I am like an arrow - clear, pointed. (Supreme Expression, 310) To attain complete success in life, one must have mental equipose, mental balance. There must not be any complex in the mind - neither superiority nor inferiority complex. Now, to bring about mental balance, you should behave with every human being in such a way that this superiority complex or inferiority complex develops neither in you nor in those with whom you behave. Complex of any sort - superiority or inferiority - is a psychic malady, a mental disease. You must...

BÁBÁ NAM KEVALAM - The Love is All

Baba Nam Kevalam - All is Cosmic Consciousness !!!

BÁBÁ NÁM KEVALAM - ALL IS COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS - TUDO É CONSCIÊNCIA CÓSMICA THE SUPREME CONSCIOUSNESS Human beings will have to go on moving as long as they have the feeling that they and the Entity which has created them, the Supreme Consciousness at the Nucleus, are two different entities. When they realize suddenly on reaching close to the peg that they and the Entity which has created them are not different, the distance between the two will disappear and both will become one - they will merge in the nectar of Cosmic Consciousness. This is the ultimate aim of all beings, of plants, of anything which has life. Therefore, the person who comes onto the path of spiritual practice early is wise - and also fortunate. THE THOUGHTS OF P.R. SARKAR("Prajina Bharati" June 1980 A CONSCIÊNCIA SUPREMA Os seres humanos têm que continuar a se mover enquanto sentirem que eles e a Entidade que os criou, a Consciência Suprema no Núcleo, são duas entidades diferentes. Quando, chegando próximos da estaca, eles subitamente se dão conta de que eles e a Entidade que os criou não são diferentes, então a distância entre os dois desaparecerá, e ambos se tornarão UM – eles irão se fundir no néctar da Consciência Cósmica. Essa é a meta final de todos os seres, das plantas, de qualquer coisa que tenha vida. Por isso, a pessoa que ingressa no caminho da prática espiritual cedo é sábia – e afortunada também. OS PENSAMENTOS DE P.R.SARKAR("Prajina Bharati", Junho 1980)
