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)
