The Condensed Gospel of Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra - I

Source: Satsang Ashram, Himaitpur, Pabna (Now in Bangladesh)17th November 1943.


One Mr. Capel Briton, a young Englishman has been living at Satsang Ashram, Pabna for a few days. He has an intense spiritual yearning and he wants to get certain points clarified by private talks with Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra. Sri Sri Thakur is seated on the portico of Marti-Mandir. Capel comes here with Prafulla Kumar Das and expresses his desire. Sri Sri Thakur asks others to vacate the place. Mr. Das stays on to act as an interpreter.
  • Sri Sri Thakur: Don't you find any difficulty here?
  • Capel: No, We have been used to considerable hardship in course of our work in the army. Compared with that I am in great comfort here. Moreover, I am deeply enjoying the friendly behaviour of the Ashramites.
  • Sri Sri Thakur: Love dwells in your heart and so it excites love in others. No one remains stranger to Him who possesses the wealth of love. Everyone becomes his own.
  • Capel: I do not have the good quality you ascribe to me. I would like to know how that lovely quality can develop in me.
  • Sri Sri Thakur (smilingly): That you are eager to awaken it within you is an ample proof of the fact that it is inherent in your nature. But it is to be nurtured and the more it is nurtured, the more it grows. Lord Jesus is Love-Incarnate, and the more our love to Him intensifies the more it spreads over the world. Otherwise we can not succeed in cultivating love ; our love becomes dissipated in wrong directions under the sway of passions. Its purity cannot be maintained.
  • Capel: I seek to love Lord Jesus, but I cannot feel Him within me. Moreover I cannot understand what place love occupies in this world torn by war and restlessness.
  • Sri Sri Thakur: If you get a devotee who loves the Lord in thoughts, words and deeds, observes His teachings and tenets in his daily life and is completely absorbed in Him then you can easily realize the Lord through him by following him properly. He cannot be understood by reading of books and imagination. We can feel Him to some degree by seeing a living man, who has imbibed Him in his character and whose heart is fully set on Him. Of course mere seeing is not enough ; he is to be practically followed with love. What is required is unconditional surrender. Because if I follow his instructions as far as they are to my liking and discard them when they are not, then any complexes do not get adjusted. We cannot relish or understand many of directions because of complexes. Complex does not let us understand. The reason we boast of so much does not help us to a great degree. Because reason moves according to complex and sentiment. So we should obey His mandate without any hesitancy or consideration. Whether His instructions appeal to us or not, if we go on obeying them inspite of ourselves, we can subsequently understand the logic of His instructions. In course of doing this we learn to discover and adjust our submerged complexes. So complete transmutation of personality can not be effected without following the guidance of a Seer. Many unwarrantable traits lurk in our character. Even if good qualities become manifest, the desire for self-gratification predominates there. So real elevation of being is not achieved. ­And the enormous restlessness and the conflict of the world stem from lack of Ideal-Centeredness. If we could move centering round Lord Christ and if we could inspiringly attract men towards Him, then the state of affairs would have been different. Every man would have the interest of every other man. Nobody would imagine killing another. To kill another is to destroy the foundation of one's own existence. You should bear in mind that the Advents are all bedewed with the attributes of providence and it is they who are Christs. Christs means anointed.
  • Capel: Even if man does not love God, he may love man. Man's love for man is a very common thing. Moreover I have seen that almost every individual has this tendency. Despite that why should violence and hatred dominate the world?
  • Sri Sri Thakur: As there is love in man, so also there is hatred in him. Someone should be held aloft before man by loving whom his tendency of love becomes strong and his hatred and jealousy become adjusted and controlled. So if Lord is not infused in man, he can not advance very far with his own assets. It does not become feasible for him to master the amount of toleration, endurance, acquaintance with individual distinctiveness and sense of proportion, which is essential for mutual harmonious relation.
  • Capel: The point you are hinting at leads to the cult of Guru hood. One of the chief drawbacks of Guru hood is this that if the Guru is not without defects, then the disciples thoughtlessly imbibe those defects and the Guru is not unlikely to exploit them taking advantage of their devotion towards him.
  • Sri Sri Thakur: So we should carefully observe a man before accepting him as our spiritual guide. It is to be specially discerned as to what sort of devotion he has to his own Guru and if he practices what he preaches. A real Guru can not think of his own interest separately from that of others. His sole interest lies in enhancing the becoming of others. When he takes anything from a man, he takes it because giving will benefit the giver. Otherwise he does not accept anything to fulfill his personal desire. So it is not possible for him to exploit anyone. But he may exploit our complexes to serve our being. Suppose, some one is addicted to drinks. If he has some money with him he will forthwith take to drinking. By repeatedly taking from him, if he can be kept constantly in want, then his inclination towards and opportunity of drinking are likely to shrink. In this case taking lovingly from him becomes a source of his welfare. There is no doubt about the fact that the wrong choice of Guru may cause harm to man. How can one lead others to light, when the said one has not himself caught a glimpse of light ? How can he who has not transcended the limitation of passionate ness help another in transcending it?
  • Capel: Where there is the likelihood of mistake and danger in choosing a Guru, then it is better not to have a Guru but to carry on spiritual practices in one's own way. God is there and man can attain to Him, if he has sincere craving.
  • Sri Sri Thakur: If I continue spiritual practices without accepting a Guru, then I shall remain what I am, I shall not be able to detect my weakness, nor shall I be able to overcome them. To realize God means to attain the character of God according to my distinctiveness. How shall I mould my character and conduct if there is no living example of His character and conduct before me? To realize God is not just a conventional affair. People think that a little perception of inner light or sound is a great achievement. But it is not so. If character does not change and complexes do not get adjusted then the mere perception of light or sound or the excitation of joy does not serve any very useful purpose. Even after the attainment of those realizations, egoistic explosion of complexes may occur at any time. Again, without devotion to the Guru a man cannot advance very far in the realm of fine realization. One gets merged at a very low level. The deeper the devotion to Guru, the finer is the stage up to which self-consciousness can be kept alive. Moreover, if self-consciousness is maintained, fine and finer, deep and deeper realization can be experienced. Those, whose consciousness gets muddled at low stage of elevation, may afford to remain satisfied by thinking a comparatively gross perception to be the culmination of realization. The more the Guru is a man of deepest realization and deeper the attachment towards Him, the more the likelihood there is of attaining deepest realization; of course regular practice is necessary. Realization should again be made to find expression in personal conduct. At the every stage of our soul-searching and self-reformation the need of a Guru is imperative.
  • Capel: If a man can lead a moral life that can suffice. Spiritual life may involve the necessity of a Guru, but a man may do without a Guru in his moral life. Man understands general moral principles and some persons with high moral character are found in the society and a man can adjust his conduct by observing their conduct. But there he does not require selling himself outright to another particular individual. To surrender one's personality to another seems to be extremely self-derogatory.
  • Sri Sri Thakur: Everyone of us is begotten by a particular individual and so we acknowledge that individual as father; such is the dispensation of nature. Do we consider owing allegiance to father as something disgraceful ? Rather, because of our veneration to one as father, we can pay profound respect to others who are like him. Only depending on another suitable integrated person can unify our personality. The basis of our life is our life-urge. If the urge is torn in a hundred ways, then our personality becomes totally shattered. If we accept some one as primary then out of an urge to fulfill him, we may gather necessary ingredients from all suitable sources. That causes no harm. Out of this adherence all knowledge and experiences of man become tied together on a common thread to find a meaningful fulfillment in one. A man may have varied knowledge, qualities and experiences but if he has no centre of fulfillment, then all those things exist as so many disintegrated lumps. He may observe moral principles but they are not assimilated and absorbed and this brings indigestion of morality. Again, our urge can not continue intact without having a definite Superior Beloved. Man does not observe principles for the sake of principles, but he observes them out of an urge to satisfy the Superior Beloved. If there is no Superior Beloved, the ardour for observing principles also diminishes.
  • Capel: Why should there be only one Superior Beloved? There may be many.
  • Sri Sri Thakur: It leads man to the same result as is derived by a woman by having many husbands instead of one. Uni-centric adjustment can not take place. It begets a conflicting personality. So some one should be prime. If a man's different organs are generated and developed in different wombs of different mothers, can they be fastened to form a single normal living organism of a man? Unity evolves into variety and variety becomes meaningful in unity. In the beginning there must be a unit. One cell in course of its division forms so many organs and evolves into a huge human body. So there exists such co-ordination and reciprocity among the different parts of the body. So a deep sense of harmony and concord prevails among the different elements of our knowledge if that sprouts through adherence to one. Otherwise there subsists no relation between one understanding and another in a man. The isolated understandings create a confused uproar and do not enrich life by being mutually fulfilling.
  • Capel: How does untottering faith in the existence of God become steady ? At times doubt torments my mind.
  • Sri Sri Thakur: Love is at the root of faith. When love for passion supersedes love for being, doubt becomes prominent instead of faith. Whenever you begin to doubt about God, take it for granted that passionate ness has possessed you. Faith is enlivening that alone leads man aright and makes him powerful. Disbelief and doubt make man unconscientiously and weak. The more our devotion to Guru Increases, the more our faith in God becomes firm. And through spiritual practices direct experience is to be gained about the original abode of being. If a man stands on the bedrock of that realization, then his mind totters very little. A man cannot be rooted in faith, till the veil of his passionate ness is completely penetrated. Passionate ness creates a false screen that covers truth. The sun is self-luminous, but have you not seen how it is often darkened by the cloud?What has been described in our scriptures, as the veil of illusion is perhaps this passionate ness.
  • Capel: Today man cannot do without science, but science is turning to be a source of restlessness instead of peace. What is the way out?
  • Sri Sri Thakur: If we cultivate science actuated by a sense of Dharma, then it will be our endeavour to harness science to our effective living along with that of others. Thereby science will be meaningful to our life through distribution of mutual service. The urge to live and let others live is the religious urge. So this religious urge has to be awakened. Then the idea of saving others and not destroying them will dominate others. And then science will contribute to peace instead of disturbance. Along with that there should be preparedness for self-defence. And such ideas are to be propagated among the masses of different countries as are sure to intensify within all the urge of living and letting others live. Preparation for self-defence is meant for this that no destructive force may annihilate existence and integration.
  • Capel: There are people who reckon preparation for killing others as a part of preparation for self-defence. Because if others realize that, their attempt to kill us is sure to bring about their death, then at least that fright will dissuade them forth taking aggressive measures and our security will be ensured. Then the race of making preparations for self-defence will automatically bring in violence and war.
  • Sri Sri Thakur: The motive-force that should guide us is to maintain our own existence without causing any injury to other people, as far as practicable. We have no right to allow our existence to be victimized by others violence, because existence is the endowment of God.
  • Capel: It is said that God cannot be attained without extinction of desires. But is desire-less life possible? How can it be possible that no desire will spring up in one's mind?
  • Sri Sri Thakur: Whatever will may appear, whatever desire may linger, if their goal is God, if their sole purpose is to fulfill Him, then they cause no harm. But we should not give indulgence to those desires that are opposed to Him. To indulge in them is to burden us by carrying unnecessary loads. Of what use it is to indulge in that which separates me from my beloved and hurls me down in the vortex of afflictions?
  • Capel: I have given you lots of trouble. I have profited much by talking with you. Let us close here today.
  • Sri Sri Thakur: No trouble at all. I like it immensely. But I am an ignorant man. I do not know English. Moreover, I do not possess sufficient knowledge to present my ideas in a systematic manner.
  • Capel: I have read your "The Message", no one can speak like that without knowing English.
  • Sri Sri Thakur: I do not know anything. Kestoda (Shri Krishna Prasanna Bhattacharya) has somehow brought out those things from me.
  • Capel: I shall again talk with you according to your convenience.
  • Sri Sri Thakur (smilingly): Oh yes! Whenever you like. If anyone benefits by talking with me, I consider myself the gainer thereby. I am as much within me as I am within you. If you do not become fulfilled, to the same extent I remain unfulfilled.

Punya Punthi - The Holy Book

Divine Messages uttered in trans by Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra


The Seventh Day : 13th Ashar, B.S. 1321


  1. Utter the word `Ma' (Mother).
  2. Behold the plentitude of power. You may avail yourself of it. As soon as you see the divine beauty of mother, the lustfulness becomes chastened (disciplined).
  3. At first food is required. Without it the stomach aches. (Hungry people can not understand philosophy).
  4. I am the repository of infinite peace, be quick to come to me.
  5. Can't you take the plunge (in Divine Ocean)? Don't you have live blood in
    you? (r u dead?)
  6. Think for yourself whether it is better to take animal excretion knowingly or unknowingly. So long as you are in bondage, sincere aspiration is not kindled. When a heartfelt driving desire for liberation will possess you, nothing in the world can stand as a deterrent (resistant). The whole creation is subservient (obedient) to will. We can ascend or descend by clinging (hanging) to the thread of will. When man sinks, he does not generally feel the urge of rising up till he reaches the bottom, but those who become conscious of their downward go in course of their fall, strive to get up. There are some inveterate (seasoned) bondsmen who remain merged in bondage despite the attainment of human birth. They take delight in slander and scandal-mongering. In order to bring them to their senses, severe blow is indispensable. They cannot be roused if intense penitence be not caused to them. Their filth cannot be rubbed away; they need to pass through the furnace of suffering. But you should seize them also. If soft dealing becomes ineffectual, hurl them in the fire with a view to attenuating their callous insensibility. Man suffers because of their non-apprehension of the goal of human existence. Can delusion or delimitation stand in the way of a person who has developed a proper concept in this regard? He yearns for deliverance (liberation). Try to understand what darkness is capable of doing. Let there be perpetual (continuous) darkness, but if the sun rises only for an instant, all darkness is dispelled forthwith.
  7. Man can perceive light in the background of darkness. They can feel day-break because night precedes it. If night was ever lasting, could they identify daytime?
  8. We should never worry about what is in store for us. Go on doing your job, why should you spend your energy ever expectantly about the result thereof? There are people who consider misery to be a kind of happiness, and murmur about the extent of their wretchedness (misery), of course often they say, `We are fine, we have got children to contribute to our joy'.
  9. If you think deeply and understand the nature of things, all your troubles will flee from you. Deliberate things discretely.
  10. The higher way of life inheres in us. What is the elixir of life? Bliss is verily the elixir, indeed! The path to peace dwells within us. You should know that you can reach Brahma by having recourse to primal power and you also attain both the Supreme power and Brahma by accepting Brahma.
  11. Heaven, earth and Hades are co-existent right here in your presence.
  12. Even if you serve your own family in the right attitude, you will gain everything.
  13. You are verily the cub of a lion. Can you afford to live in a state of torpor (inactivity)? You will obtain the realization of God in and through the very person, whose contact serves to awaken in you a divine consciousness. All your defied thinking is flawless.
  14. Over-eating produces indolence (laziness) and deadens one’s ability to perform arduous (hard) tasks. You cannot sustain your sprightliness due to overeating.
  15. Do not be engaged in worldly affairs with a fictitious and
    fallacious concept of things.
  16. You are all great workers. Never be indolent (lazy). You possess infinite power in you. Awaken it. You can crash and grind unnumbered planets and satellites by one bite. You are a dynamic source of power; many an individual may attain full fledged personality by appropriating strength from you.
  17. You are the architect of the destiny of many. You are capable of getting them merged in the Ocean of Brahma. Come on fortified by your infinite strength. Exert and demonstrate the influence of a house-holder hermit. Unfurl a flag in the sky and display the effectiveness of harmony. Your power is limitless.
  18. Try to achieve perfect conquest of passions, take plunge in Kirtan. Be careful not to dissipate your intense energy. If you do not apply yourself perfectly, all your energy will come to an end and you will lose efficiency. Make your thoughts as expensive as the universe. Spread out your delimiting fascination throughout universe. There can be no monk like a house-holder with a genuine bent of mind. He has no worry, nor any anxiety; he is exclusively given to unselfish thinking. Control your passions. Do not give birth to further issue that will be harmful to you (an instruction given to a particular person). Break down all obstacles. I shall
    surely help you attain salvation. You are an integral part of me. You are a power of mine that enchants others. How can I be a passive spectator, when you are on the verge of ruin? I cannot suffer it to be so. Join Kirtan, what do you desire? I shall confer on you Dharma, wealth, fulfillment of existential needs, liberation and all that. Do you want money? Then work without any attachment to
    results, tons of money will roll at your feet. Embrace distressed souls and I shall bestow on you Dharma and deliverance. If you crave for fulfillment of longings, then seek it for Lord. I shall grant you everything.You will obtain everything, every objective will be served. I shall confer everything. Intensify your thought-current. Whole-hearted faith is essential. Nothing can be had without real faith. The primary step is to develop sincere faith. Run on. Hug everyone in your breast with throbbing good will and universal love; own everyone to make him your own. Start winning others, and eventually
    you will reach me. Don’t you think what will be your lot when everything will be wipes away?
  19. Really She is our mother filled with supernal consciousness. Your consort i.e., wife also represents the mother. Wait, if you choose to go to hell, why not go thither for the sake of other people's benefit? What is there of sin and anguish? Why don't you lay the burden of your misdeeds on my shoulder? (19)
  20. See, when this divine strength wakes up that is called true awakening. Once start singing the glory of Lord from door to door with frantic fervour. Proclaim the message—`arise and awake'—dinning it into the ear of sleeping people. Make the whole world astound and amazed. Rouse up all like the fresh morning sun. Immediately rising from bed put your mouth in the ears of all and communicate your auspicious tidings to them. You will be able to do the needful. (20)
  21. Yes, charity begins at home, but you must expand it—the charity of home. My Lord! I am nothing but I, you must think all is not little all, all is—supreme soul. I am supreme soul—the Parabrahma.
  22. See, the things which we see, are nothing but illusion and this illusion is the expression of spirit—we see it. Try to draw your attention upon the current of spirit that is going on the junction of the two eyes at the root of the nose. It is the spirit onward. My Lord, let me go now. I am quite unable to remain any
    longer. Children! You must fix your attention at the root of the nose to have "You" and draw the spirit onward. This was my policy when I was Jesus. You can search Holy Book.
  23. Thereafter he uttered some words in a nasal voice. Perhaps the language was French. It could not be recorded due to lack of conversance with the language.
  24. My friend! Now let us go. Yes.

Punya Punthi - The Holy Book

The Sixth Day: 12th Ashar, B.S. 1321

Revealations in trans by Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra.

External activity of body and words by the influence of mind is work. Yes, also internal activity. * (2).

The more you will labor (work hard), the more you will be able to desist (stop) from passionate proclamation (announcement). Existential activity leads towards what is propitious (favorable), evil (bad) action goads (push) towards evil. Both courses end in desistance. One course leads to inertness and dullness, another culminates in complete absorption in the Supreme Brahma. Can dullness cause deliverance (freedom)? (3)


The spirit is highly coated with Maya.* Buddha taught the doctrine (principles) of extinction of desire. Shankaracharya made the idea explicit (clear, open). Buddha’s standpoint was explained by Shankaracharya. A man of knowledge understands the philosophy underlying an ethical view of life. Knowledge finds its fulfillment in devotion. So Chaitanyadeva appeared. There grew a spirit of discord (conflict) and malevolence (ill will) among the adherents (supporters) of different paths of Dharma, and there was the advent of Ramakrishna to demonstrate the basic unity lying behind all forms of Dharma. Let alone Dharma, gospel of action and all that, and let me find relief by discovering my real “I” and by getting anchored there act. (4)


Dedicate your being to God and go on doing your duty. Work with a vehement (intense) speed. Burn all your sins. Put an end to selfish attachment and delusion and elevate yourself to the utmost degree. If I do not love my real self how can I reach the region of Supreme “I”? We shall have to love both the sentient (conscious) and insentient with a consciousness that every thing and being is a manifestation of God and our own self. You will have to retain some vestige (trace) of ego-based differentiation only to keep the power of discrimination (bias) alive in you, otherwise how will you act? This residual ego is lustrous (shiny) like fire. Insects and grass-hoppers i.e., our weakness will be consumed by their close contact with this flame and thereafter the aspirant will regain his true self. (5)


The mind is to be caught hold of. It is to be combated. Knowledge and love are the principal weapons. The external weapon is modesty and humility. You will take hold of the outer self of man by means of exterior aid and capture his inner being by having recourse to kindred modus-operandi. Keep your mind calm and composed and everything will be accomplished. (9)


Perform Kirtan with an open mind. Go to the house of everyone who is receptive and eager to same degree. At times go through the whole locality with the Kirtan-party, at least twice a week. Perform Kirtan with dance in a divine frenzy. Hundreds of important people will rush on to join your Kirtan as insects do by seeing blazing fire and you will have to invite none. You will be able to draw the entire world just by sitting at a place and you will not require calling anyone. Hundreds of grass-hoppers and butterflies will also be irresistibly attracted it. Continue Kirtan intensely. Call the Name of Lord heart and soul. Draw him heartily with magnetic pull. Continue Kirtan and dance with abundant enthusiasm. (10)



When the Supreme Source is unqualified then it is Supreme Brahma and when it is endowed with attributes, it is called God. (11)

Punya Punthi - The Holy Book

The Fifth Day. 5th Ashar, B.S. 1321

  1. Spit on and spurn (reject) the sin, not the sinner.
  2. I have told you; do not ask me in such a manner again and again.
  3. You should know that the eternal self underlying our body and mind is certainly Brahma. But the atman that is subject to limitations of the body-mind complex is not Brahma. Never make many mistakes in your assessment.
  4. Consciousness (realization) is always endowed (gifted) with energizing impact. But it has its limitations. Consciousness and energy are inseparable. Creations also a manifestation of energy. Just see all beings have evolved through the operation the law of the cause and effect. The created entity is verily Brahma. It is Brahma that exists in form of I, you, and animal, a leaf, a creeper etc. The fact is that Brahma evolved out of itself without the need of any extraneous element i.e., the material factor involved in the evolution inheres in its own bosom. The one (Brahma) becomes many and different through the agency of volition (wish). The mind of a tree and that of a lamb is not the same, but both of them are verily Brahma. All of you are nothing but me. As soon as you realize this truth, all your ignorance is dispelled in an instant. Brahma is the ocean, a finite being (atma) is just a bubble; as soon it (atma) loses its existence by mingling (mix) with the ocean (Brhma) the form of bubble comes to an end. Can there be any hatred? How can I hate myself? This entire blunder (mistake) flows from the obsession (fascination) of complex. When a man understands that he dwells in all forms of life, he gets rig of delusion and this can be affected if a man develops some thoughtfulness and genuine love. Alas! Man does not understand this simple truth. But the consciousness dawns if a man practices Kirtan systematically. Then the very concept undergoes a total transformation. At this stage (after realization) people (saadhak) feel that they themselves have become (one with) the World. Eventually they reach a level where they feel that they have no separate existence other than that of Brahma and there also they fail to grasp the mystery underlying this all inclusive being. Anyway, we have to achieve utmost unfoldment of the faculty of cogitation (meditation).
  5. All of you taken together constitute the whole of creation and I am all of you combined. You are fools (ignorant). Suppose there are thousand candles burning in a room, if you put out (off) one of them, does it mean that all the other candles are extinguished thereby? All fire (light) is one but every single blazing candle may be compared to a creature of the world. But the culminating point of all is the same. Every one of you is me in a specific make up.
  6. Dharma, wealth, fulfillment of desires (Dharma, Artha, Kam)—all these things can be had by Name. Take the plunge (sink in mediatation), everything will be achieved. If a man develops a maddening interest in Kirtan, his mind becomes sound (clean) and when the mind becomes sound, physical health is ensured. Do not forsake (leave) sex or wealth; remain engaged in mundane (routine) work with grim determination throughout the whole day. In the evening make haste (rush) to join Kirtan and practice Kirtan with divine intoxication (habit), I shall bestow (give) upon you everything. Don't you have faith? Do not be worried about sex – leaning (inclination) or financial problems. Continue Kirtan for a few hours every evening with maddening zeal. I can give you everything. I can grant celestial bliss (heavenly enjoyment); come along, you will have to suffer no affliction (misery).
  7. What is needed is a bit of faith. Just see what a tremendous power I possess. Just recognize me once. Utter the name of Hari in evening at least once. Just feel for yourself the extent of my strength. Have a little faith in me, Run to me without caring for any hindrance. See if I can tear the veil of illusion or not. Try to understand that the world is ordained (predestined) by my will. If you like you may remain immersed in worldly affairs. You may also indulge in grievous (terrible) sins. I shall wipe out all your blemishes. Kirtan is great thing. Join Kirtan with an irresistible urge, surely you will be released from bondage. Well! do not give way to anxiety (fear). Attachment to woman and wealth will surely lose its grip over you. Just see, practice Kirtan with the beat of small and big drums and the clarion call of buggles, kettledrums, conches and bells. Merge your soul in Kirtan with a tremendous tempo. I assure you of its efficacy, just do it for seven days and see for yourself the result arising out of it.
  8. Brother! This is (verify) the right path. Accelerate the speed of your go towards the Ideal. Lay bare your heart (accept him); heart is the seat of all that is precious in life. It is really wondrous. The potency (strength) of Name (Naam) is unparalleled. By practicing Name you can ascend the region of `Om'. When your being dwells in the sphere of Name i.e., when repetition of Name becomes habitual in your life, the coiled-up energy (kundalini) lying (sleeping) deep down in your organismic system is awakened.
  9. The more one rises high up with accelerated pace, the more quickly does he come down with a thud. So the upward motion (of kundalini) has to be steadied.
  10. Just experience the bliss emanating (originates) from unselfish love. Do not harbor what is incompatible with love. It is but the mind that accomplishes everything.
  11. Do come unto me in a lightening speed. Your bosom is very broad, very spacious, many an aspirant will find a sanctuary (refuge) in it, and no hammering (hitting) will be able to break or bruise (damage) you. Secular knowledge has to be appropriated to reach supreme knowledge. Lo! Will-power has a tremendous influence. You will be able to accomplish whatever you propose to do with the Ideal in view. When you will find that hatred, shame, and fear have disappeared (within you), you will be in a position to overcome all obstacles. Again when (if) your life-urge will often rise and fall alternately, take it for granted that your mental state has not attained stability. Will you be then able to dwell in the region of Name? God never tarries (tries) to bestow grace on people. His mercy is perennial (constant) and the flow of it towards you depends on your tuning with Him. There are great sinners, who have emaciated (shrunken – thin) their body and mind (with) constant sinful thought(.) a(A)pproach them and tell them, Brother, just come to me in a hurry and listen to the divine Kirtan, be heedful (attentive) to the Divine proclamation:

    Sarbdharman parityajya mamekam sharanam braja,Aham twam sarva-papebhya mokshoisyami ma suchah.
    Hear! The echo is running faster than air, it is echoing resounding the horizon, "I will save you from all sins, so do not give way to grief or dejection." Join the Kirtan, all your worries will be dispelled just by one stroke.
  12. Mere trust in God cannot give eternal throne. Sound of your call must reach me because I am sound. Be quick to get rid of these matters of the World (maaya)! At first you shake (change) your heart, and then you will shake the world. The world will shake at a time. Yes, you perhaps absent yourselves from this world and the world absents from you, (both) are equal. Yes, when mind is warm, external cold is insufficient to cool the body. Your mind is the master of all deities. Check your mind and move your mind all day towards God. You say (thinks), fire burns and water cools everything, (and tell me) it is supernatural. Trust His name. He will give you everything. Trust, I am not alone for this world, world is me—all these `I', all these creatures, all the matters, all the world are `I'. * (*Spoken in English by Sri Sri Thakur Himself).
  13. The difference between each other (Brahma and Atma) is Maya (Illusion). You can think `I' through anything. What else you think is the world, that thought is mine. Clear your heart, my shadow will fall on (will remain with) you. Love the true thing, which can record my shadow (my shadow will record it). Be a philanthropist (humanitarian), you will see all are philanthropists. Do not bate (hate) anyone, hate their errors, and correct their errors. Embrace (hug) and keep the sinner's breast on your breast and thus let the (his) sin erase (change) in truth and not in the false. Be humble to anyone and everyone, everyone will be bumble to you. Contemplate (consider) your God with heart. Declare Narus…………………Love. Beg your pardon, let me go. Know that you are not a common soul. (*Spoken in English by Sri Sri Thakur Himself).
  14. Whatever is done along with unfoldment of inherent capabilities finds fruition indeed!
  15. You will get rid of all ailments, just continues Name.
  16. If you mean to unite (untie) your knot (from bondage), first of all have a genuine unwavering will to do so.
  17. Toll (wonder) by (whole) day. (But) At nightfall come along to your Thakur and repeat Name dismissing all troubles and agonies. You all are free souls. Through this Kirtan your boundless love will pervade the whole universe. Extend your love to all. I shall offer you everything. Heap (load) all your sufferings, sins and torments (pain) on my head. Laugh heartily, chant the Name of the Lord. I am always with you.
    · What do you have to dread (fear)?
    · Why do you worry about family-affairs?
    · Whom does the family belong to? Is it yours?
    · Who are you? You are verily the embodiment of existence, consciousness and bliss that constitutes the essence of Brahm and the Supreme Self.
    · How can you be subjected to the bondage of mundane (ordinary) affairs?
    · How can you also afford to have craving for heavenly happiness?
    · Whatever you will will (wish), shall come pass.
    · What is there in the world to frighten you?
    · Name is your solitary refuge.
    · I the self of all of you, am existent.
    · I am the self of all selves.
    · I am the Supreme Brahm.
    · I have thrust all my will (wishes) in you. Now it is your will that counts.
    · Give me a little scope. I shall smash all your impediments (obstructions).
    · You are the offspring's of lion. You will catch hold of all one by one and manipulate (control) them in a masterly manner simply to help them attain salvation.
    · There is no one to contest you. You are super-man; there is none in the world who can dare with you.
  18. Come on with a blazing enthusiasm, and take shelter of the Supreme Power. Mark it well! (Remember) You are (have) to bring the Kingdom of Heaven on earth with desperate determination and establish it on the plane of morals. Forsake selfishness, give up lure of money, get rid of ignoble attachment, gain maintain everything in an indirect way so as to be able to share all you have with all other people.
  19. Discharge the duties of life in a triumphant mood and constantly be seated on the throne of Brahm. Do repeat the Name.
  20. Lead your secular (worldly) life to your full satisfaction with an uninhabited mind and just lodge (keep) me in a corner of your heart. I shall release you from all shackles. I shall bequeath (hand over) my throne to you and eventually, get merged in your immutable (absolute) self, which is none other than `Me'.
  21. Oh debauch! I tell you again and again, get yourself immersed in Name. I shall set you free from all sins and agonies born thereof. Utter the Name of (supreme) mother. Who is to share the consequences of your sins? It is I who will bear the burden of your transgressions. Just came to me with a heart pulsating with love.
  22. I have infinite strength, (be prompt to) accept it from me. You will not have any sorrow, nor any sufferings; God will save you in manifold ways. You self-conceited (self satisfied)! Abandon your self-conceit; know it for certain that man are weighed low down under the pressure of his own sins. Can't you throw away all your sins? Pour out your sins on me. I am ready to stone for you. Go mad for me and come to me with an irresistible impetus. The realm of sun, moon, planet, star and even the nether world does not have any power to thwart your triumphant march. Run on like infuriated and desperate `Shiva' with the corpse of Sati on his shoulder. Run towards me with impetus vital energy and a heart vibrant with love. Do not hate the sinner, embrace him lovingly. I shall redeem all of you. Give shelter to the sinner. Shall I not stretch my hand towards you? You constitute my existence. My perfect ness lies in the fact of attainment of perfection by all of you. Without all of you, I am all alone.
  23. Go to the devotees briskly (quickly), if they touch you, you will be absolved of your sins. Then I shall accept you. Why do you worry? Go ahead, do not lose your vital vigor (energy), nourish it, you will be immensely peaceful. I have placed a screen before you. I have kept my soul (messengers) involved in the world simply for your emancipation (liberation). I could get myself aloof (detached) just at my sweet will. But I have assumed the bondage (burden) for your liberation, because I have allowed you to be infatuated (crazed) by worldly desires and to be afflicted (troubled) by sufferings. Now come on! Forget your little self.
  24. In the beginning I was alone, it is through my will that I have become many, in the end also I am alone and that is at the root of the advent of Kalki. At the outset I was unmodifiable, there was nothing distinguishable from me, and subsequently I chose to undergo modification. Again the volition has possessed me to get beyond the reach of all modification. So then is the incarnation of Kalki. Again I am (have) to gain my fullness by coalescing (uniting) and integrating all into my undivided and indivisible self. Just consider! What a multitude of division and micro division I have had to undergo for the sake of you only to pick-up all of you. Advance (rush) towards me. You are to find me out. You (have to) seek me.
  25. Continue Kirtan with an emotional abandon and dance frantically with a divine rapture (joy). Make the atoms dance with a rhythmic tremor. Shake all that is inert and responsive including tress and shrubs in your massive grasp. No sooner you are spiritually inspired, than all will rush forward to come in touch with you. From the King down to Fakir all will feel gratitude to submit themselves at your feet and serve you unquestioningly. I possess stupendous power, it is concealed behind modesty, courtesy and submissiveness. It is aflame in me with splendour. You should also captivate heart of all by imbibing modesty and gentle manners. In fact, the world is yours.
  26. Your heart is whole. Come on, you will obtain everything from me. Listen to the word of God. I the supreme self am the self of you all. Again pay attention to the resounding sound. It happened once, again the sound of the divine proclamation is reflecting itself by tremendously trembling the sky above and the river and the sea below. I shall save you from all sins, do not grieve.
  27. Then what is there to worry about? Be you a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist, a Christian or any other community, just listen to the proclamation of super self, I shall save you from all sins, do not grieve. Bear in mind, chaotic attempt are of no avail, simply engage yourself in Kirtan. Come to me and my adherents (believers). We have infinite strength and I shall confer on you everything.
  28. Catch hold of people in bends and effect their regeneration completely.
  29. After sometime you will find that lots of things have been destroyed, it is verily the nature of the world, then what will you cling to if there is nothing enduring as an object of your attachment? While crossing a river if you tarry to long in the midway, you stand every chance of getting drowned. If you place your head towards the opposite bank of the river and keep moving your hands in the right direction, you can reach your destination without fail. So I re-iterate, even if you have to face unforeseen dangers and calamities, never give up your effort to reach the goal, rest assured I shall never fail to lead you to a safe harbour.
  30. Offer all you have to your Thakur one after another, and then you will gradually develop an attitude of detachment. The real master of all we have will get back what he kindly gave us can there be anything happier than this?
  31. Kishori! Love intensely, love all with all your heart, and let your blood boil in a dynamic love you on. If none cares to love you, I shall love you on. Fall at the feet of all. Dance once more with the verve and vigour of Shiva. You are a super-power, but do not rend all the veils right now, so that all the full extent of your powers may not be exposed to people forth-with. It is good not to inflate ego, but it needs to be kept for sometime. You will not have to worry about anything. You have genuine love and attachment for your Thakur. You are sure to enjoy unbroken bliss. Continue Kirtan along with vigorous and vehement, dance. Many pure souls emanating from the super soul are existent, they will imbibe your spirit. At times remember that you are nothing but the supreme self. Rend the apparent veil of everyone. Combine and unify the friends and foe, the tiger and goat, water and fire and demonstrate this glowing example before people. Radha Krishna will blaze resplendently in water and fire, in cloud as well in lightning, surely it will happen, they will see for themselves this blazing glow, but this experience will not serve to intensify heart-burning, rather it will assuage and comfort their distressed soul. You are the high priest of a great ceremony (Maha-Jajna) meant to promotes the becoming of people; be conscientiously true to your glorious office. The sanctifying oblation in this holy sacrifice is my Supreme Self. Once I unconditionally gave myself up totally. I shall do it once more. I shall lose my identity in you. Whatever you see in the world is nothing but myself. Oh Alas! I do not have the scope to evade my responsibility even by courting death.
  32. Be careful on every side—Soul is immortal. No death, no birth. Yes, my Lord, no time at all. No more today, I come again.
  33. I claim all of your heart. (Spoken in English by Sri Sri Thakur Himself).
  34. Do not harbour any doubt or hesitation, go on repeating Name with your whole soul, the desideratum will surely by achieved. What you consider to be impossible will come to pass. The impossible will be rendered possible.

Punya Punthi - The Holy Book

The Fourth Day. 5th Ashar, B.S. 1321
Revelation by Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra in a trans.

Nabin! You must keep yourself peaceful. Listen to me, if a dead body is buried under a heap of faeces, can it perceive the reality? (2)

Live in your house in an un entangled way. It can be done by mentally dwelling in the dome of Lord. (3)
Can you have a taste of peace if there is no contrasting background of disquiet?Both peace and restlessness have their origin in mind. If you have no perceptive mental faculty, both peace and unrest cease to exist for you. To start with you do not need to run after peace or unrest, you have to only pursue God and then peace will follow you spontaneously. (4)

Infinite forms of `I' (Ahamkar) dwell in infinite number of individual beings. The culmination of becoming lies in realizing the underlying unity behind diversity. (5)

Shaping the mind is the only thing that is difficult. Once it is done, everything is easy. It is Kirtan that shapes the mind aright. (6)

I was there in the past, I exist in the intermediate stage also and I shall continue to exist in the future. It is my mind alone that can understand me. (7)

We should offer all things to God one after another, He immediately restores whatever we gave Him, of course we should not make wrong use of what He gives us back. If we happen to offer Him any fruit, we are entitled to share it afterwards. But we are to make proper use of it. And that is proper abstention. (8)

Slow and steady wins the race, as we should hold on to the last. (9)
You have envenomed both your life here and hereafter by yielding to a bad satanic obsession. Come on; take a plunge to absorb divine life. The strength emerging from it is all-potent. When a man shares the amrita obtained by churning the ocean of life; the poisonous bite of the evil world can hardly prove disastrous. Have abiding faith in the limitless power of the Lord. (10)

Tell them that the momentum of my move is faster than the fall of a meteor. I can do anything I like. But I seek your active co-operation. Of course you should know that I alone can set ablaze the entire universe. (11)

Do not wear the iron chain around your neck anymore. That will hasten your death by strangulating you. It has been torn asunder with great difficulty. (12)

Run onward in a concentric way. All happiness will seize you. Repeat Holy Name alone. Holy Name transcends the region of `Om', Holy Name precedes and oversteps the plane of `Om'. Do not attach much importance to other Mantras that lead to the realization of audible sounds alone. Better practice this Holy Name, Holy Name leads you to Me the Supreme "I". I am the Supreme Self, the Absolute Brahma.
Rest assured, if you avail yourself of the upward current of Holy Name, you can reach your destination very quickly. One can reach the supreme Brahma after crossing the plane of `Om'. Holy Name is comparable to the Darjeeling Mail. As soon as you will go beyond the realm of `Om', you will readily attain the supreme Brahma. You need not give way to fear, the Padma bridge has been constructed, and now you can reach Siliguri straight way.

Try to feel that real enjoyment lies in renunciation (rejection of material world). The more you are ready to give up selfish enjoyment, the more will real enjoyment embrace you. The main thing is faith. Join Kirtan with just an iota of faith, it will work wonders. Even if your faith be not attended with proper vision, still it is welcome. Never allow yourself to be crushed under the pressure of blind desires. If you are on the right track, you will find all that exists in the universe in the frame of your Ideal. If you do not achieve this realization, your all other efforts comes to naught.
NAME ! NAME ! NAME ! It does not matter whether you possess devotion or not, just go on repeating the Name. Never allow anything in you which will disturb your repetition of Name. Know it, for certain that our world is a creation of our mind. The mind can visualize spheres lying far away beyond the gross world; even some elements of that fine world are nothing but a projection of our mind. Then, is this world is fictitious? No, the gross manifestation owes its origin to the finer layer of existence. Just think when the masur variety of pulse is unhusked or rather its outer coating is removed it looks red, but why does it become white, when it is boiled. (13)

You can achieve the goal by removing the masks as far as required. But dnot remove all the masks all of a sudden, then you will not be in a position to behave normally in the world.

Alas! Nobody seeks me, the supreme`I'. (14)

Kishori! The sun and moon cease to exist; even all the stars are destroyed. But why do you weep? All that exists is yours. Kishori! my darling! Make sure that your inferior ego is wiped away as far as practicable. This is exactly what is required. Catch hold of groups of people and throw them outright in the bosom of the ocean of Brahma. Thereafter you will reach me. Every one of you is nothing but a wave of that ocean (Brahma). In fact, you symbolize the entire world. Every individual of the world is a manifestation of me alone. Just see nobody is your friend or foe. Everyone is a different form of me or you. (15)

Give a glassful of water to the thirsty. You will get water when you become thirsty.(16)

Charm yourself if you wish to charm everyone. (17)

At first I was charmed by my will, therefore the universe was charmed. (18)
If you get sound everywhere . . . . . (19)

If you wish to be great then be humble and low! (20)

Knowledge is the crown of God. Oh! Yes, at first know what you are. (21)

Your heart is the store of uncommon power, because you are God, because I am God. (22)

There is a great similarity in God of every religion. (23)

Without low tongue you cannot expect low tongue. (24)

If you mean to capture people's heart then you will have to give your own heart. First consciously allow your own commodities to be stolen by others and in this process learn the art of stealing. (25)

The more you will ascend higher and higher the more will you perceive everything on earth to be on the same level. Canals, stretches of marshy land and small ponds will appear to be almost the same. If you want to rise to a great height, you can do it by using the balloon of Name. (26)

Arise and awaken others! Rise up, rise up, right now. Just feel that all individuals represent the same identity. You have all been begotten, but I am ever existent. If I am destroyed and somehow you happen to exist, I shall continue to exist in you. The beginning and the end are the same. Everything is... nothing to fear, just rouse up one and all! (27)

Well, there has been a crash of tremendous power whoever will be seized by you will be energized to the highest degree. Gird up your loins and start your campaign with dogged determination. I am always existent and I shall never cease to exist. (28)

At the stage of deepest degradation, I have appeared in the form of Kalki as the most consummate manifestation of the Divine. (29)

PUNYA PUNTHI - THE HOLY BOOK

The Third Day : 4th Ashar, B.S. 1321

Revelations in Trans by Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra.

  1. If the fur of a blanket is removed one after another, then what is left of the blanket ? The nature of Brahma can never be expressed by words. Brahma is inherent (natural) in matter. Without the covering of a material- sheath, Atma is beyond the reach of speech and psychic being.
  2. Sound is perceived at first indistinctly (unclear). It takes place not on the exact right side, rather right across the cerebrum with a slant towards the right. There is a distinctive feature in the entire range of sound, and it has to be experienced with discernment (sensitivity). After some progress the bell-sound becomes audible. We are to transcend (go beyond) the region of `Om'. `Om' is not very far, after this 'Om' plane is crossed, gradually emerges the stratum (layer) of Radha Soami. It is approximated to very slowly, degree by degree.
  3. The realization of true `I' becomes stable by repetition of the saying, `Thou art all', `Thou art all'. Contemplation (thinking) about pure `I' also leads to the realization of the unchangeable `I', get identified with the supreme `I' and be attuned accordingly.
  4. Mother! water the plant you have grown with so much care. You have reached your present state by employing your inmost urge of love and you should expand and sublimate your desire. Do not say to God that, `thou belongest to me alone' but keep repeating `thou art the Lord of all'. When you take the fruit of your tree, you should share it with one and all as far as possible. Always refer to your inmost self and materialize its dictates. Oh mother! have the mercy to liberate souls groaning (crying) under bondage. Innumerable souls are wreathing in unbearable agony. Impart to them the technique of acquiring life abundant, otherwise all are sinking constantly. You are the embodiment of the energy that you have absorbed from the womb of the beyond. Now unite the knot of people's thralldom. Just devote yourself entirely towards saving others. The more you will dedicate yourself for others, the more will you realize your true self. The more you advance towards our original self, the more you come to know me. I am your first goal. You should conduct yourself with discrimination. If you are to move, you should choose the path of rectitude (morality). If you have to abandon the wrong path, do it by a determined jerk, and if you are after getting entangled in the labyrinth (maze) of the world, you will commit the same wrong repeatedly. Everything is easy. The more you will indulge in self-aggrandizement , the more will you fetter yourself inextricably inviting endless pain.
  5. Always High thinking leads us upwards. Ultimately comas (unconsciousness) a state which is beyond mind and word. Some also feel I am He.
  6. Both myness and thyness are real but the end is `I'. The more you mix water with deep red, it becomes more and more faint, at last the redness disappears. If you pour one drop of liquid red colour in the ocean, it is not at all perceived but all the same it continues to exit therein.
  7. An egg is not what may be described as round but people are used to call it round.
  8. There may be two concepts about God. He may be said to be non-existent or He may be said to be omnipresent. His existence is so all-pervasive that even all empty space is filled by Him.
  9. If you keep saying `it will be done', nothing will be accomplished thereby. But if you actually do anything to get it done, it gets done. You should develop a maddening passion for God, whenever you are engaged in doing anything. Disseminate (spread) the truth, elevate everyone, and be mad in broadcasting Lord's message. Keep yourself exclusively preoccupied in Kirtan and you will achieve everything. Contemplate (think) constantly without a break even for a second. When the mind is on the plane of volition (desire), activity sprouts (growa) automatically and then our vital core is energized. Will can extricate it from the obstructions that thwart it. Impart a divine madness to one and all.
  10. The lustrous (shiny) form of light is also formless. Light is also a limitation. There is a state which is beyond description. And that is the reality underlying appearances.
  11. A man who is completely God-intoxicated has a steady unflickering mind. Keep repeating name in an absorbed manner.
  12. Whither does the mind roam after death? The world is as if a composite form consisting of various kinds of glass. Our mind functions like the focusing light. The glass mirroring the light will produce an image it is capable of producing.
  13. Rouse (awaken) all, everyone. Provide solace (shelter) to the sinner. Give him shelter and proclaim—"Renounce socalled thousand and one forms of ritualistic Dharma, arising out of passionate desire, protect me alone in and through all you do, I will save you from all sins, so do not give way to grief or dejection." Sound the victory band and declare reverberatingly— "I will save you from all sins. Do not grieve (suffer)." Penetrate everything in a subtle form and burst open in astounding dimensions. Every limitation is melting away as a result of the impact exerted by the unbounded one.
  14. Trust me and give me everything. Sure, be glad, everything will make you glad, spit on and spurn (reject) the sin, not the man—the sinner!
  15. [*Spoken in English by Sri Sri Thakur Himself] When I was before, He was latent (hidden)in me! When I was before, you were latent in me ! When I was you, you were I. I was the only one—I was latent in me! Think yourselves. You were latent in me. Whole creations are you—no doubt the spirit. I was the sound. Sound is my creation; therefore you are created by me. Only sound is your spirit no doubt!
  16. Name and love can own everything! Love can gain everything in this world! Love can gain I and Love can gain you, and everyone will be loved! Love and Name can conquer I, can own I. Therefore, Love and Name can conquer the Universe! Because Universe is I! Declare Name and Love. Give heart to heart and own heart.Make everyone declare Name and love. Love is Heaven and Heaven is Love !Peaceful heart can make everyone peaceful. Come to me, I will give you everything, no doubt! Be fearless and proceed on and on! Check your tongue and kiss the feet. Draw the heart fast. Atom can feel atom!
  17. There is no mind, no sovereign, value of sovereign is mind. Without mind sovereign is nothing.
  18. Morning is the indication of the day. Darkness is not indication—Yes darkness of night!
  19. Leave everything and come to me! I will give you everything!
  20. Declare (announce) Name!

Punya Punthi - The Holy Book - Second Day

Revelations in trans by Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra.

The Second Day : 2nd Ashar, B.S. 1321

  1. Both centripetal and centrifugal (central) Go involve toil (hardwork). Centripetal Go demands more of effort.
  2. A householder Sannyasi has more maddening determination (willpower) than a recluse (hermit).
  3. A leap into fire may be called a sort of burning; again it may mean self-immolation in fire. It depends on varied degrees of heat.
  4. A man has to guard himself against evil. Just turn your gaze within. When Mahaprabhu engaged himself in Kirtan in the midst of an outer circle, the sincere devotees of the inner circle were all alert to save him from the hands of unattached alien people. You indulged in wasting a lot of your energy.
  5. Now I want Sannyasis from among householders. I do not like to have so-called monks who stand aloof from family life. I prefer Nitai.
  6. Rouse (awaken) others. If you find anyone lying, make haste (rush) to chastise (discipline) and chasten (correct) him sternly (firmly).
  7. First accumulate (gather) strength and then capture (attract) people with the aid of your whole-hearted love.
  8. Desire is the root of all ruinous (harmful) mischief.
  9. The means of ascent and descent is one and the same.
  10. The more you belong to me, the more I belong to you. Always remember Name.
  11. If you tear away your own ears, does it not hurt you?
  12. I seek Ideal – intoxicated (under the influence of Ideal person) people. Bring me those people. Mother! Do not allow yourself to be ruined.
  13. Do not disclose the mystery (secret knowledge) to people indiscriminately (aimlessly). Then, why comes the point of intimate people belonging to the closest girdle? People of this circle are as good as kins, they are different allied manifestations of a kindred spirit.
  14. Just see that knowledge is not less essential than devotion. The need for knowledge in this sphere (area) is often greater, because it renders deviation and distortion impossible. Knowledge accompanied by devotion is excellent. Do you know what constitute knowledge? It may be compared to the Punjab Mail. Unenlightened devotion may be likened to mixed trains. Their condition becomes precarious when they happen to collide with mail trains. Mixed trains have more frequent stoppages. So the hazard of collision is almost nil. Express trains are good enough, their speed is also greater. Kirtan may lead to all these paths.
  15. I need people who are mad for divinity. Mother! Thou art the steam of the steamers and locomotive engines. Do thou supply the steam, there is plenty of fire and coal that are essential ingredients for generation of steam. There is also no dearth of coal mines and fire. We cannot apprehend the efficacy of steam till we observe its function. Mother! I implore thee, do thou unfold our understanding in this regard.
  16. Can Brahma be explained or described? It has to be constantly meditated upon. It is beyond Name.
  17. It is proper to follow one's own native bent.
  18. After the demise of Sister Nivedita, another sister like her was not found. She was very true to her ideal. She had a great heart. She is unlike others and she will be adored eternally.
  19. Your Thakur is right here; just have a deep desire to behold him.
  20. Be sure, steady, silent, full-steamed, you have nothing to be afraid of. You are all that exists. As soon as you will feel about someone as an alien, unrelated to you and start harboring (believing) ill-will against him, it will spell (curse) your own ruins. Whenever there is an ideation, there is cognition corresponding to it. In the transcendent plane, all feeling of separateness is obliterated (destroyed). That is the way I hold my being.
  21. Volition (desire) is everything. The house you own is verily yours. The sense of my ness is ineradicable. It clings all through. It may be compared to inextinguishable fire.
  22. Just see, if you beseech (request) mother to untie your knot, she condescend (would) to do so. But he who likes to retain bondage and at the same time prays for deliverance (escape), it becomes abortive (fruitless).
  23. People reap as they sow. Right performance always produces proper result. Sincere atheism (non-belief) is also preferable. You have not done well by indulging in insincerity. It is indisputable that divine will is paramount (supreme). But when people give way to ‘evil exercising their self-will’ and make God responsible for it, how can it be justified?
  24. Strength brings in valor (fearlessness), not to have a moral courage is a variable (inconsistent) sin.
  25. Tell Nagen that knowledge is all inclusive. Yes, you should communicate it to him. A man's master-complex moulds him in accord with it. Then you have no reason to be sorrowful. In the ultimate analysis, your own will is the determining factor.
  26. Just swim in the ocean of Brahma, like the thousand-streamed Ganges. Always think of the Lord. Your success is a matter of certitude (sureness). You will achieve as you exercise your power of volition (wish).
