Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra: Punya Punthi - The Holy Book

Revelations in trans by Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra.

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

Both centripetal and centrifugal (central) Go involve toil (hardwork). Centripetal Go demands more of effort.
A householder Sannyasi has more maddening determination (willpower) than a recluse (hermit).
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.
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.
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.
Rouse (awaken) others. If you find anyone lying, make haste (rush) to chastise (discipline) and chasten (correct) him sternly (firmly).
First accumulate (gather) strength and then capture (attract) people with the aid of your whole-hearted love.
Desire is the root of all ruinous (harmful) mischief.
The means of ascent and descent is one and the same.
The more you belong to me, the more I belong to you. Always remember Name.
If you tear away your own ears, does it not hurt you?
I seek Ideal – intoxicated (under the influence of Ideal person) people. Bring me those people. Mother! Do not allow yourself to be ruined.
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.
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.
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.
Can Brahma be explained or described? It has to be constantly meditated upon. It is beyond Name.
It is proper to follow one's own native bent.
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.
Your Thakur is right here; just have a deep desire to behold him.
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.
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.
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).
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?
Strength brings in valor (fearlessness), not to have a moral courage is a variable (inconsistent) sin.
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.
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).
