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).
