Guru Charanam Saranam
Guru Vani (March 1994)

    The intrinsic character of every activity of our Ashram has been achieved by prayer alone. The World will shortly understand its goal. We prayed for the accomplishment of a karma -certain activity- on 27 occasions, no less. Later, it was realized that it had to do with the 27 stars, which influence and controls the activities of our lives. The last was got done in 1974. On that day a revelation was got from the Almighty: "My long cherished desire has been fructified." So we must understand that this Ashram’s atmosphere, is affluent with the atoms of the above said accomplishment and the young folk of both sexes should be careful, because every word, deed and thought will be implanted into this atmosphere. You may do well to remember that the never ending list of failed aspirants includes illustrious names like Adi Shankara, Hrishikesh Sivandan and Dayananda Sarasvati. You can calculate your own chances and you may consider yourselves very fortunate, if your potential and capability are of any use to further this cause. For that I love your actions not riches, so it is necessary for you to resolve to sacrifice anything, and be reverential to the cause that was got by the most sublime sacrifice. One should be humble and pray fervently, that he is doing and getting done things, which may turn out to be in consonance with the Almighty.

    Humility must be inculcated into our language and in the very character. This is possible only when there is devout dedication, to the extent of surrendering the very soul for the cause. Those who toil, may they be but children, will doubtless earn a name in History. As always it may be after a generation or two. None of your ancestors had access to this great fortune, and you have it waiting on you. This is not going to be had by enslaving anyone or anything.

    The great prophet Nabi’s family was massacred. This is the cause for the bloodshed where ever Muslims reign. You should take a cue from this and put an end to all the aberrations intrinsic in life. You will discern their surfacing intermittently with good traits, and realize that the soul has the aptitude for evil lurking low. This has to be extricated and eliminated by working it off and good traits will have to replace it. Practically we can see someone doing good, emits some amount of evil. An aspirant -spiritual- or a satvik person -nature of the soul with a great tendency to spiritual purity and selflessness- can subdue it by his own. But we would not know about these beforehand, because we are acquiring a totally new world for ourselves -world means body- with a heart comparable to a big godown, containing a variety of stores. We have to protect them in spite of the pain the effort inflicts. We should attain a stage where vice and virtues are of no special significance. Because the virtue too begets births for one to reap and enjoy its benefits. If you can embolden your mind, none will be able to overwhelm you. You all of either sex, serve here in a noble manner, some of you intending to and others casually. Even through the bitter tears you shed during this noble deed, you must be able to pray for the ‘capability to do thine...’

    We do not need siddhi -occult powers such as levitation, walking on fire, becoming invisible, etc. It is characteristic of the time gone by. Now it is an anachronism. Sri Krishna had exhibited siddhi in totality and put an end to it. It is not to be resorted to hereafter. The Almighty God is shepherding us towards Satya Yuga -next era to be started within 427 000 years. You are free to act and derive the benefits. You need not do anything for God. You should strive hard, disregarding the agonies and anguishes and cull out the benefit your tears fetch you. You should not work mechanically so that the mind is boggled by its own aberrations time and again. You should not fall back even by an inch. The good traits of each and every person, should become examples to be emulated. We have things to learn even from the tiniest of creatures. Enriched thus by experienced knowledge, strive hard with the stubborn conviction to set right at least one single soul.

    The greatest of Gurus -spiritual masters- in Manu’s -progenitor of mankind- tradition, will get ten male and ten female disciples. That too depends upon the baghyam -good luck stored within the soul that is acquired by performing good deeds- of the Guru. Out of these, three will be of highest order, seven in the midway and others will barely make it to Iswara Prakasam -seventh sky. They would not be able to merge into Brahma Prakasam -10th and final stage in evolution. The rest, whatsoever be their number, will take birth again in this very Guru Parampara -group of people that follow Guru’s doctrine- for attaining spiritual liberation. Another lot will get visions, elevated only to stagnate and degenerate. The others householders, adhere to midway, avoid extremities and earn mukti -spiritual liberation-, or they merge into Guru.

    These two should never entertain any doubt about the Guru. If ever it happens, they may go to Guru, confess and then only can earn spiritual liberation, because doubts can lead you to confusion and to move away from the Light of the Guru. Even the householders can attain the stage of Trimurtis -Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva- if they do not err.

    If they do, it befalls on them to get births as many in proportion to the magnitude of their mistakes, and earn spiritual liberation through a Guru of high order in this Parampara alone. Alas!, those who become the disciples of Guru and forsake him by negation, will find it difficult to be born as humans. If ever they do get a human birth, it will be devoid of wisdom. They will have to pray for wisdom for many births. When they get it, they will get assimilated into some other Guru Parampara -group of people that follow a Guru’s doctrine- and merge into Trimurtis -Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva stage. There is yet another lot. This goes very near to the Guru and Parampara elevates itself without much of flaw by hard work, and then err due to jealousy or some other cause. Such will beget a physique that will not allow them to work for the cause of God Almighty. They will have affluence of devotion and humility. They will meet many Gurus, earn many births in the same way, encounter lot of agonies and pray hard before God’s compassion bestows a birth, with full health restored and then earn spiritual liberation. That will be forthcoming only after relentless search for Truth harsh and demanding self abnegation. Another lot are caught in the web of Shaiva -Shiva cult-, Shakteya -Shakti cult- and Vaishnava -Vishnu cult- clans.

    They will undergo harshest of ordeals before getting into the fold of Gurus of 2000-3000 years reign and through that elevate themselves. This is but a trickle of the deluge of visions.
