Give with kindness

Give, but with humbleness and without expectation. Let the door of kindness in your heart be open. To give, counting it to be kindness, is a patron of vanity. Be grateful to Him who, as Master, receives your gift with humility to awaken the feeling of kindness in your heart. Encourage, console, and sympathize with him to whom you give, feeling his grief. Then according to your ability, give with kindness. Love will be achieved. Your gift will be effective. The less you drum about your giving, the better. You will be saved from vanity. Don’t refuse anyone who wants. Money, sympathy, encouragement, consolation, or sweet words: give any you can. The heart will become soft. The desire for the good of others is the mother of one’s own good.

It is better to die at toil than on the toilet

He who does as he speaks is a first class worker. He who speaks less and does more is a second class worker. He who speaks more but does less is a third class worker, and he who, out of laziness, neither speaks nor does is of the worst type. Run, but don’t pant, and watch you don’t stumble. Should you feel aversion or anger in doing any work, know for sure, it is on the verge of failure. Be ready against the difficulties that arise at the time of executing a work. Don’t be dissatisfied or impatient. Success will be your servant. Try and don’t be gloomy; don’t be sorrowful! Success must come! Delirium of distress is not a sign of the skilful. Haughty brain and vain, pompous thoughts are both signs of unsuccess. Gain success by avoiding or defeating misfortune, and see that difficulties do not cheat you of success. If neither joy nor sorrow hinders your movement, you shall without doubt reach your goal.

Be wealthy, No harm

But be humble and charitable. If a rich man be proud, he becomes downed with distress. A rich man, arrogant and proud, generally lacks faith, and the doors of heaven do not open in his heart. A proud rich man is a slave to impurities; so he ignores wisdom.

Give up what is against existence

Forgive, but do not harm by indulging. Love, but be not addicted. Love deeply, but mix not too familiarly. Bubbling is not the sign of fullness. If you are contented and free from anxiety yourself, try for others. The more the mind is overwhelmed by being attached to the cause of grief, the more will fear enter within and weaken the heart. If you wish to be saved, have no fear – no weakness. Be absorbed in enlivening thoughts and deeds. Addiction to evil begets fear, grief and sorrow. Give up what is against existence. Have faith is ‘Sat’ (Sadguru) Truth. You shall be saved. Be immersed in enlivening thoughts; enlivening deeds will be your helpers, and your surroundings, being enlivened, shall surely always save you.

What upholds the existence of an object is Dharma

To know Dharma is to know the root cause of anything, and to know that is wisdom. Attachment towards the Source is devotion, and wisdom is in proportion to the degree of devotion. Devotion and wisdom will be as much as is gained through that attachment. As much as you are attached to a subject, so much wisdom do you have about that subject. The purpose of life is to drive away ‘want’ completely, and that is possible only by knowing the Cause. Exhausted in want, the mind seeks Dharma or the Supreme Being; otherwise not. “What will remove ‘want’, and how? From this thought the question of the Supreme Being arises at last. What upholds the existence of an object is Dharma. So long as that remains unknown, nothing is known exactly.

Deep faith can do anything

The conception that cannot be affected or overwhelmed by contradictory conception is Faith. If there be no faith, how can there be vision? Work follows faith. As the faith, so the work. Believe! But beware that pride, impatience or irritation do not come in. You shall achieve what you want. It is faith alone that can bring expansion and responsive consciousness. And doubt brings in sluggishness, irresponsiveness and depression. Faith is above reason. If you have faith, all reasoning shall support you. As you believe, so will reasoning and arguments support you.

Faith is beyond the range of intellect

Feeling is the foundation of faith. Arguments and reason can never bring faith. The lighter the feeling, the shallower the faith, the less the constancy. Faith is beyond the range of intellect. Intellect is according to faith. There is ‘yes’ or ‘no’ in intellect – there is doubt. In faith, there is no ‘yes’ or ‘no’ – there is no doubt.

He who has no Faith has no realization

The less the faith, the more undeveloped and blunt the intellect. You may be a learned man; but if lacking in faith, surely you are no better than a gramophone record or an ox carrying a load of words. He who has no unquivering faith has no realization. And how can he who has no realization be wise? As much one’s realization, so much one’s vision and wisdom, and in wisdom is the firmness of faith. If you don’t believe, you neither see nor realize, and if you see and realize, it ripens your faith.

Follow the faithful

As is the Ideal in whom you place faith, so will your nature be formed and your vision too will be like that. Follow the faithful. Love him. Faith will embrace you too. “I have no faith”: with this idea man only shrinks his faith. There is not a man who has no faith. As deep and lofty the faith, so high the mind, so profound the life. He who believes in goodness becomes good. He who believes in delivery becomes devilish.

The effort to remain constantly attached to Truth is devotion

Whenever faith is invaded by contradictory ideas, doubts arise. As soon as faith is overwhelmed by doubts which are again supported by the mind, depression sets in. If one gives up contrary ideas, hears and accepts arguments favouring faith, doubts vanish and depression cannot stand. No contrary thoughts can shake the faith after it has ripened. What can doubts or lethargy do to a true believer? Once doubt is indulged, it attacks the mind like a weevil, and ultimately it begets an extremely worn-out, dirty state of disbelief. To remove doubt and establish faith is to attain knowledge. If you have firm truth, no contrary idea, no incantation, no power other than that of your own faith can overwhelm or bewitch you. Know this for sure. As far off as faith will leave your mind, so much the world will doubt you and lose faith in you, and so much too will distress attack you; it is sure! The kingdom of distress and misery is in the land of disbelief. The land of faith is so fertile. Take care! If you find doubt-like sprouts of the weeds of disbelief, pull them out at once! Otherwise the immortal tree of devotion will not be able to grow. Devotion and faith are twin brothers. If one comes, the other follows. Remove doubt! Place devotion on the throne of faith! Let the kingdom of Heaven be established in your heart! The effort to remain constantly attached to ‘Sat’ (the Source of Existence Incarnate) is ‘bhakti’ (devotion). The devoted is the really wise man. Wisdom without devotion in merely verbal learning. You may say, “He is I”, or “I am He, the Absolute”, but hold on the devotion; then only, that attitude will stand in you. Otherwise, you can achieve nothing by it. As the faith, so the love, and so the wisdom also. First try to be free from vanity; then say, “He is I”. Otherwise, the “He is I” may drag you down more. If you try to keep adhered to enlivening thoughts, your thought, behaviour, habits etc. will become broad and true gradually. These are the signs of a devotee. The mind becomes narrow when it moves to the narrow; when it moves to the expansive, it expands. So, when it goes to a devotee, it broadens, and as much broadness as there is, so much peace there is

Concentration of devotion is love

When the mind is fastened to worldly things, it is addiction. When it is attached to the Divine, it is devotion. Love is the gradual development of devotion. Concentration of devotion is love. The thinner the pride, the bigger the place for devotion. How can one succeed in avowed activity without devotion? Devotion alone can bring success. As faith is never blind, do devotion is never stupid. In no way, at no time, is there weakness in devotion. Imbecility and weakness often appear in the garb of devotion. Beware of this!!!

Sign of the Sattvic state

Exciting oneself in bouncings and pouncings or a little weeping on the impulse of dancing or singing is sometimes taken for devotion. But this is not devotion at all. Momentary excess of emotion and outburst is not the sign of a devotee. There must be some sign of thin ego, sign of faith, signs of honest thought, good behaviour and broadness etc. in the character and conduct of a devotee; otherwise, devotion has not come. If there is not faith, there can be no adherence, and without adherence there can be no devotion! Vacilating, excessive ecstasy sometimes appears as devotion. Constancy is not there, and there is no telling sign of devotion He in whose heart there lies devotion cannot know he is a devotee. He whose heart is weak, inconstant and only emotional, thinks with great pride, “I am a great devotee.”It is not that devotion has appeared wherever tears, thrills of joy, perspiration and tremors have come. Along with these, devotion must have it own characteristic signs. Tears, thrills of ecstasy, perspiration, tremors etc. are signs of emotion that can be of many types. If, along with these signs of devotion, appear the characteristic ones of that state, then only is it a sign of the ‘sattvic’ state – the state of divine life and good feelings.

Devotion is concentric to the Source

Artificial devotion is mixed with stiff ego. Real devotion is free from pride; i.e., it has a very thin pride. A man with counterfeit devotion cannot TAKE advice. Adviser-like, he can only GIVE advice. So if anyone advises him, signs of irritation, aversion and shirking the company, appear clearly on his face. The man with real devotion is generally quite unwilling to play the part of an adviser and signs of pleasure blossom on his face if he gets advice. Devotion can never enter the heart of one who believes little and worships many. Devotion loves many for the One. Addiction loves the One for many. In addition there is gratification from self-interest. In devotion there is satisfaction from interests for others. Devotion is concentric to the Source. Addiction seeks satiety in self-interest or ego. Addiction is the wife of passion, and devotion is the younger sister of love.

Veda is the in divisible whole

What is known by realization is wisdom. To know is to reach the Absolute through discernment, and that is ‘Veda’. Veda is the in divisible whole. To the extent one knows, one is a Vedist. Wisdom destroys confusion and gives discerning eyes to man. Wisdom indicates the real nature of an object. When one sees an object in a condition that reveals all that is to be known about it, one knows its very essence. Devotion tries to attach the mind to Truth, and what is realized from that is called wisdom. Ignorance creates anxiety for man, and wisdom gives man peace. Ignorance is the cause of grief, and knowledge is bliss. The greater your wisdom, the greater your peace of mind. As your experience is, so is your strength to live normally.

Doubt is the messenger of disbelief

The more rigid the ego, the greater the ignorance. The lighter the pride, the brighter the knowledge. Doubt is the messenger of disbelief, and disbelief is the shelter of ignorance. Remove doubts the moment they appear, and merge yourself in thought of the good. You shall become the possessor of wisdom and bliss. Wicked thoughts create heinous experience, ignorance or delusion. Give them up! You shall be saved from grief. The more addicted you are to the evil, the more obsessed you will be by selfish interest and overpowered by evil knowledge or delusion. And disease, grief, poverty and death shall rule over you; it is sure!

Obsessed ego brings forth addiction

Addiction breeds selfish interest. Selfish interest gives birth to passion. Passion is the source of anger, and anger begets violence.

Devotion brings wisdom. In wisdom there is the sensing of self in creation. When there is this realization of self in creation, nonviolence emerges, and from nonviolence comes love. To the extent you possess any, you possess all.

He who is not greedy is not addicted

From obsessed ego comes addiction. From addiction comes ignorance, and ignorance is misery. From doubt comes disbelief, and disbelief is dullness. From idleness comes stupidity, and stupidity is ignorance. Thwarted lust is anger, and anger is the friend of violence. The intention to satisfy passionate selfish interest is itself greediness, and this greediness is addiction. He who is not greedy is not addicted.

No cunning is so good as simple honesty

Any person, whatever he may be, must be caught in this trap: “Honesty is the best policy.”

• There is nothing so fascinating as humility.
• What else is so attractive as love?
• There is no achievement greater than faith.
• There is no eye like wisdom.
• There is nothing else to subdue vanity better than hearty humility.
• What sacred formula is there like carrying out the commands of the Living Ideal?

Move on! Go ahead! Don’t get tired thinking about the path, or you won’t be able to move.

Leader

He who has jumped first and shown the way first is the leader. Can empty words alone make a leader? At first, give up your all for others. Sell out your self at the feet of others. Forget to reckon the faults of others as faults. Be self-less in service. Then you are a leader; then you are the heart of your country, the king of your country. Otherwise, all this won’t be achieved by words alone. If you wish to be a leader, give up charm of leadership, give up self-praise, stake your everything for the good of others, show them by doing yourself what is blissful and true, and speak of that to others with love. You will see how thousands will follow you.

Boldness

Rely and work on with boldness and indomitable enthusiasm. Beware that no misfortune come from anything in you to yourself or others. You shall find how the goddess of good fortune is tied down stationed in your house. It is said, “Fortune favors the brave.” That’s right. Faith, reliance and sacrifice : these three are the signs of bravery.

Work on in your own way

The longing for name and fame is a tremendous obstacle to self-elevation. After a little progress you make, you’ll find some have come to find a Master in you; some are calling you a ‘great man’; some, ‘prophet’ etc.; on the other hand, some are calling you ‘satan’ or ‘scoundrel’; some ‘a professional’ etc. Beware! Pay no heed to any of them. They are all ghosts to you. If they are heeded, they will sit tight on your shoulders, and it will be very difficult to get them off. Work on in your own way, come what may. If, under the hope of name and fame, your mind behaves like that of a devotee, hypocrisy is hidden therein. Strike it out at once! Only then comes good. Otherwise, everything will be spoiled. If you desire to be Master, Prophet or God, you will certainly become a hypocrite, and due to that you will not be able to do anything practically, even though you speak volumes. If your wish is such, give it up at once! Otherwise misfortune is sure.

Can darkness cover the Sun

To the extent you are genuine, Nature shall honour you with endowments and provide you with Her appropriate privileges. You see this every day; then, what more do you want? Just try wholeheartedly to be genuine. Does the university honour anyone with a degree unless he has studied and passed? Don’t propagate yourself, even by mistake, and don’t request anyone to do it for you. Then everyone will hate you and will leave you. If you really have known some truth and if you think it is beneficial, speak to your utmost about it and request everyone to know it. If they understand, they will listen and follow you. If you have seen and understand Truth, it will surely burst forth in your thought, word and deed. You will know no rest until you are lost in it. Can darkness cover the sun?

The real preacher

If there is no truth in you, you may speak a thousand times, even show a thousand tricks, pretend in a thousand ways; still the light of truth will not effulge in your mind, character and words. If there is no Sun, a million lamps can’t take away all the darkness. Propagating a truth, who speaks about his greatness, who is always busy with himself, who tries to show himself beautiful by various tricks and whose pride bursts forth in every movement – in love, in words, in reliance – however vastly learned he may be and however much he may speak about wisdom and devotion – he is a hypocrite for sure. Stay far away from him. Don’t listen to his words. There is no truth in his heart. How can feeling appear if there is no truth in mind?

Vanity in preaching is a hindrance to real preaching. A real preacher doesn’t, even by mistake, speak of his own greatness, observes Truth in deed, and charmed by the honest thought in his mind, speaks about it according to his own conviction. Whenever you’ll find anyone is speaking about Truth with the pride of conviction, has become restless with pleasure and humility while speaking about kindness, is calling and embracing all with love and emotion, and instead of yielding at the moment he is told of his own greatness, becomes pale, humble, and crest-fallen as it were – know it verily – there lies blazing Truth in him and there you will find in his normal character too that Truth is ablaze.

Do light the lamp of Truth with the wick of wisdom soaked in the oil of devotion! You will see how you will be surrounded by so many grasshoppers and insects, so many beasts and men. He who thinks of the Source of Existence only, speaks of the Source only, and loves Him only is the real preacher. If there is no deep faith in the Ideal, there is no constancy, no devotion. And if there is no devotion, how can there be realization? How can there be wisdom? What will be preach? The pride of a real preacher is his Ideal. The pride of a false preacher lies in self-preaching. When your heart will heave up with bursting zeal to speak what you know as good, what you know as Truth – with the mind unaffected by what people say about you, but feeling pleasure if you find men inclined towards Truth – that is preaching. Without real faith, constancy, and devotion, you can never be a real preacher.

He who preaches himself deprives himself. He who, enchanted with the Ideal, speaks about Him does really preach himself. The real preacher alone is the true well-wisher of the world. Limitless is the number of creatures that may find self-elevation through his kindness. Be charmed with the Ideal. Feeling will swell up in your heart spontaneously, and there is no knowing how many people will progress, being inspired by that feeling. Don’t desire to be the Master; rather, try to be an adherent to Him. And one adhered to the Master is the real savior of lives.

Ego & pride

As long as body lasts, individuality also will last. So long as modes of mind remain, the ego persists. But the more passive one can remain, placing one’s pride in the Ideal, the more self-less and tolerant he is. The less you brag of ‘you’, the better. The more you pride in the Ideal, the greater your good. Let the Supreme Father be your pride and enjoy bliss through Him. Don’t place your pride in a false ideal; for then your ego will become even harder. The higher and broader the Ideal, the better. For, as high and broad your Ideal is, so high and broad you too become.

Eager to give service

Whenever you find people – specially the respectable – are bowing down at your feel and it doesn’t elicit any great objection in you (you are sometimes hesitant with your words only, but not so much in your mind), know then and there for certain that self-adulation has stealthily entered your mind. Beware as soon as you can. Otherwise, you will fall for sure. Whenever anyone has bowed down at your feet and at once you head bows with humility and the mind is not ready at all to take service, rather it is eager to give service, and pleasure is felt in the heart only in speaking about the Ideal – no fear, you are in the lap of Bliss and always try to remain even more so.

Ideal

Take to the habit of the creeper and entwine yourself around the tree of the Ideal; fulfillment of desire shall be yours. If you feel pleasure in speaking about your Ideal, pleasure in hearing and thinking about Him, pleasure in His order, pleasure in His affection, pleasure even in His inattention, and the heart swells up in His Name; I tell you surely, don’t worry any more for your elevation.

Take to the feet of a true Master, go on taking the Holy Name, and remain in the company of the devout. Truly I say, you have no more to worry for your elevation. Leave not the water of devotion and move not too far away to the sandy shores of temptation. It will be difficult to return when the sand will be hot from the scorching sun of grief. If you don’t come back before it gets hot, you will dry up and die.

• Try to remain inclined towards devoted feeling; you will not fall, but will be moving forward.
• Try to be in tune with the Master, and don’t follow your mind; progress will never leave you.
• Cling to right judgment, and don’t follow the mind; broadness will never desert you.
• Hold unto the Good and follow not evil; peace will never part from you.
• Let humility find an abode in the heart – vanity will mean nothing for you.
• Don’t long for, or be attached to, that which must be forsaken; you will be saved from grief.

Surrender to HIS will

Pray for love and keep violence far away; the world must be attracted to you. May thou be ascetic at heart. Dress not thyself as a hermit, and be not chameleon-like for nothing. Let thy mind roam about on the Source or Brahma, but be not busy to dress thyself in saffron robes or to paint the body; for then the mind may incline to these things. Give up pride, you shall be able to remain in Good. Make the fallen hear the message of rescue! Give hope; by hook or by crook, try to help them towards elevation. Encourage, but let them not be wanton. If ever, after giving your all to your Beloved, you are immersed in Him and have fears of floating up, then do dive at once with all your ardor and love, and lose yourself. You will see how beautiful is the Beloved and how He has embraced you.

If the slightest public criticism, ridicule, inclination to relatives, loss of self-interest, neglect, or abuse from one’s own or others can make you aloof from your Beloved, how shameful is your love, how meager! Isn’t it so? If you understand a thing today, don’t you tomorrow deny the same, calling it a riddle. Don’t play fox like that. Because, even the lower animals do not forget what they once understand. So to speak like this is to display fickleness or wickedness. Today you are benefited. Tomorrow, blinded by selfish interest you pretend to be wronged: don’t invite such ingratitude. What is meaner than this? Ask anyone. Unless one is a fool, one cannot be induced, by slander from the benefited, to blame the benefactor. When the helper is harmed by the helped, stupid pride breaks the bolt of gratitude and throws open the path of death strewn over the thorns of arrogance. Treachery pursues him who considers the shelter ugly because of any disrepute of the sheltered ones. Unfeeling and unbenefitting activities for the Beloved are never the signs telling love. One not desiring to do anything for the Beloved, yet loving much, is like a bronze dove made of gold. The selfish in spirit generally love like that. So it is better to guard against this sort of disinterested love. Otherwise, there is every possibility of danger. You love? But when the Beloved insists, influences, rules, insults, makes angry pretenses or forces; and you, rather than feeling pleasure, suffer from the reverse, and all your happiness washes away; I say, you will cheat and be cheated, surely. And this will continue as long as you are such. So, while there is time, take care. The charm of love – increases with hindrance, causes no hatred to grow when oppressed by the Beloved, becomes vigorous in separation, doesn’t stupefy a man, remains for ever unsatisfied, never leaves once it has touched, and is unchangeable.

The infatuation of lust – decays if hindered, arouses hatred if oppressed by the desired one or if one doesn’t get as expected, makes one forgetful in separation and cowardly and stupid, brings satiety and depression in enjoyment, doesn’t last long – it is changeable. Be venerable but no insufferable. If you like to charm, be charmed completely. If you like to be beautiful, see beauty even in the ugly. The beauty and meaningfulness of life lies in being devoted to One with intensity and continuity. When liking for many cannot shake or sever the liking for One, that liking is the sister of love. Better be attached to the true Master than being shattered by the consideration of good and evil. You shall safely achieve success. It is sure! As the time of weakness think of beauty and strength, and when vanity seeks to posses you, think of the Beloved and of humility. Mental health will remain undisturbed. Don’t be spoiled by seeing faults, and don’t spoil those who are attached to you. Give to Him. Don’t want, but feel blessed if you get. Surrender to His will. Don’t try to make Him yield to you, because He alone is beautiful to you. Never give up the craving for Union. Otherwise, the pang of separation will not be sweet, and you will not be able to feel peace in distress.

As much as is your thought, activity, feeling for One, so much is your inclination, charm, and love for Him, and in the same way. He alone to whom you have surrendered your all is your Lord – you Guide Supreme.

Doing is the mother of getting

Don’t regret for not having without doing in the way you can have. To become sad without doing invites a ‘not-to-get’. To get, whatever it might be, one must learn how to get it and do that exactly. Is there anything more foolish than to become impatient to get without doing? Know it for sure – “Doing is the mother of getting.” Only when doing is in accordance with desire does success appear. The desired good of man remains hidden beneath his habitual superstitions, and the Giver of Good is punished only when conflict appears between the Goodness He gives and the habitual superstitions. So the saviour is slandered in His own country. Nature reproaches those who would approach the Unsensed – with neglect and rejection of what is Sensed. Those for whom the Seen is coloured or humiliated by the Unseen are deceived.

To know God is to know all or the Whole

That which being developed and becoming everything, yet remains the same, is Brahma'Bold text'. He within whom all the resources of the world – knowledge love and activity – spontaneous, and by the inclination towards whom the scattered lives of men and all the diversities of the world find a final solution, is the God of men!

To know God is to know all or the Whole. He whose intense and active inclination for a Living Ideal, transcending time and space, has made Him into God normally; whose literature, philosophy and science, penetrating the scattered good and evil prejudices of the mind, have been meaningfully adjusted in the Ideal, is the True Master.

He whose mind is filled with attachment for One, or the Truth, is honest or chaste. To adhere the mind thoroughly to the Ideal is called Holiness.

When the mind is absorbed completely in conceiving anything thoroughly, it is called deep mediation or Samadhi.

Repetition of the Name make man keen, and Meditation or Dhyan makes him calm and receptive. To remain enganged in any single thought and to feel that which distracts but cannot break our continuity is ‘Dhyan’ or Meditation. To be displeased means to be scattered. Be keen but calm. You will feel everything.

Attachment to One or concentrated inclination is called Yoga. That which, being opposed by something, wants to establish itself is ‘self’. To make the ego stiff is not to know others. Those who are satisfied with meaningful solution through meditating observation are ‘Rishis’, Sages or Seers.

The solving and untying of all kinds of knots of the mind so that they become meaningful in One – is Salvation.

The ideas and activities that lead man towards the Cause are Spiritualism. The decision by which the Inner Cause is made to blossom is real Judgment. That analysis which determines the real form of the object aimed at is Reason. The painful feeling that arises from a judgment of the merits and demerits of a completed act, and causes abstention from evil, is Repentance.

The Place on going to which the knots of the mind are untied and solved is Tirtha, place of pilgrimage. Doing that which preserves existence is Virtue. Doing that which makes one fall from existence is Sin. That which exists and has expansion is Real. That to conceive which the mind retains its being is Finite. That to conceive which the mind loses itself is Infinite!

Peace! Peace! Peace!

The Pursuit of Truth

In 1910 A.D when Thakur was only twenty two years old then in one spontaneous outpouring, in the course of one night, Sri Sri Thakur AnukulChandra wrote down these messages unfolding everlasting life and Art of Living , Spirituality, Inspiring Attitude,Love God, Gratitude, Healing Souls, Law of Attraction, Visualize Mind, Positive Energy Frequency, Prophets, Trust Relationship.

The degeneration of humanity began at that moment when the unseen god was made infinite and, ignoring the Seers, the worship of Their Sayings began.

Oh Mankind! If you desire to invoke your good, forget sectarian conflict. Be regardful to all the past Prophets. Be attached to your living master or God and take only those who love Him as your own. Because all the past Prophets are consummated in the divine Man of the present.

Eugenic science

Prof. K. P. Bhattacharyya, President of Satsang and co-worker of Dr. C. V. Raman, Nobel laureate, asks Sri Sri Thakur....
"We may easily understand the role of sperm and ovum and their contribution in the process of inception. But where lies the consistent and co-ordinated relation of an unseen and abstract soul with concrete sperm and ovum?"

Sri Sri Thakur explains:

The Bhaba ( environmental impulses imprinted in brain i.e Positive Energy Frequency) and impulses of the wife generally induce her husband to be sexually inclined to her. The brain-center of the husband gets excited according to those Bhaba and impulses. Now all the departed souls with their respective carrier Bhabas that lie in tune within the range of tremors of the excitement come together first in the brain and then into the scrotum of the husband. Then all the sperm-cells in the scrotum become charged with those carrier Bhabas of those departed souls and become mobile. That is, those incoming souls impart life to the sperms and render them living and moveable; and that time the man feels a sensation of contraction in his body. Then during sexual union those mobile sperms run forward to meet and mingle with the ovum in the fallopian tube.
On the other hand, the wife also gets enlightened and inspired to the extent she is charged and moved by the resultant effect of her husband's personality, character, conduct, display of love and affection for her and above all, his all fulfilling nature. This enlightenment and inspiration color her total being and get imprinted on the awaiting ovum in her fallopian tube. Thus the wife and her ovum get charged with a particular Bhaba. Now the ovum embraces in it's bosom the particular sperm whose charge of Bhaba coincides with the Bhaba that the ovum is charged with. That is, the ovum receives the particular sperm, which is in tune with the ovum in affinity and Bhaba, but not because it wins the race. Thus the ovum blends together with sperm in such a way that they dovetail together, there remains no gap at all. Thus the conjunction of a sperm and ovum produces a complete entity. Cell division starts and ultimately a child grows.

Why out of millions of sperms only a particular sperm is conceived, is it providential ?

Sri Sri Thakur replies, ”I don't call it providential. The particular sperm of father that possesses strongest affinity for the ovum in the mother, will be received by the ovum. The ovum with particular Bhaba will receive the very particular sperm that is charged with the identical Bhaba of the ovum in itself. So I say so much about compatible marriage union and happy conjugal life”.

The existence in ectoplasmic body
Burdened with desires and wishes
Is condensed into sperm
To form the seed of the body
And the sperm mingles
With the ovum
In tuned and co-ordinated to it
And then grows up through cell divisions
With all its characteristics.

In single ejaculation
Millions of lives
Impregnated in the sperm run forward;
As the ovum received one and is fertilized
So it gets physical form;
The seed of life in ectoplasmic body
Gets shelter in the sperm
Through sex-urge
And unites with the ovum
Tuned with identical Bhaba
In the womb of a female
As a consequence grows up gradually

The clue of the prime law of our re-birth. The nature of the 'being' to be materialized is determined by the nature of the wave received by a particular psychic arrangement in our brain caused by action and
reaction of our environment. 

Jesus Christ in the New Testament said: “Both husband and wife should be attached to each other through deep love in such a way that they turn to be one in flesh and spirit.”

“During sexual union the Bhaba and the trend of thoughts in both husband and wife should be consistent with one another. The more the trend of thoughts and Bhaba are sublime, higher and sacred, the greater, as better and purer child with sublime nature and unadulterated biological make-up is born. The tuned psychical charge of both husband and wife at that particular moment of sexual congress lays a great impact on the future life of the child. Because the child is nothing but the vitalized material embodiment of that tuned psychical charge of the husband and wife. His eyes, nose, facial appearance, ear, in a word the construction of each and every limb and minor limbs of his body, his thoughts, charge during sexual and etc, become molded by this tuned psychical charge during sexual union. The child is born with that and proceed towards newer achievement."

Life After Death..

The Indian Philosophy laid stress on the role of psycho physical and spiritual contribution too, in having different kinds of issues out of a same pair of parents. So the Indian seers (spiritually realized sages) don't speak of chance and miraculous co-incidence. What they have said is logical and reasonable, though it may be required to be tested in the touchstone of modern materialistic science to realize the very truth underlined their statements. Sri Krishna said in Geeta,
“Jang Jang bapi smaranh bhabam tyajatyante kalwe baram Tang tamebaiti kounteya sada tadbhaba bhavitah.”

Thus the above verse means: a man leaves his mortal body at the time of death with a Bhaba, and is born again there (into a mother's womb) where he gets the identical Bhaba ( environmental impulses imprinted in brain i.e Positive Energy Frequency)

Sri Sri Thakur, a great exponent of all the past prophets, sustained the statement of Lord Krishna in more explicit manner. He comments:

  At the time of death,
  an individual  leaves its mortal body
    with the Bhaba,(called Carrier Bhaba),
  and that life takes its birth again
   to the parents in tune with
    carrier Bhaba of the departed life,
  during their union

The above verse means, the carrier Bhaba with which an individual being leaves his mortal body when gets co-incidence with the Bhaba with which a pair of parents on the plane of matter comes to be saturated at the time of sexual union, then the departed individual is born to that particular pair of parents. In other language, each of the pair of parents comes to be charged with a particular Bhaba during sexual union. When this charge of Bhaba becomes in tune with the carrier Bhaba of any departed soul, then the departed soul is born with that particular pair of parents. We may refer to a simple example.

A farmer has cultivated a brinjal in his vegetable garden. He works hard and keeps himself engaged in doing various function in the garden almost through out the day. He waters the plants, removes the weeds and shrubs manures the plants and the make arrangement to protect the plant against worms and insects, he gets delighted to think of the heavy harvest this season he expects a good profit this year, thus he becomes totally absorbed in the thought of brinjals. Let us suppose that in this state of absorption, he goes off his mortal body with the Bhaba (idea) of brinjal. This is the carrier Bhaba. After death the departed soul will exist as a wave of Bhaba in the vast ocean of Bhaba.
Now let us imagine that another farmer has also cultivated brinjal in his vast garden. He also takes care of the plants with all his means and measures. Both husband and wife are happy to see the prospect of harvest this season. After supper they go to bed at night and continues talking about their success in producing good brinjal, both husband and wife are so delighted with and absorbed in the thought of brinjal that they are charged with the Bhaba (idea) of brinjal and they unite together at this state. Now if the charge of Bhaba gets unison and tuned with the carrier Bhaba of the departed soul of the former farmer that departed soul is expected to enter into the womb of the wife of the farmer, mentioned later.

Manifestation of Human Beings

So far the eugenic science has explored the mystery of human inception, it is exposed that a several thousands of sperms of husband enter into the womb of his wife during union. These sperms begin to knock at the door of the uterus. Some sperms enter into the uterus and run towards the fallopian tube. On the other hand, just 14 days before the beginning of the next menstrual period, the wife releases a single ovum from her ovary and this ovum enters directly into fallopian tube. If in the fallopian tube, the ovum comes across a sperm and if the ovum gets fertilized by that particular sperm, then pregnancy occurs. In this fallopian tube first a zygote is formed. This newly produced zygote enters into the uterus and gradually sticks to the wall of the uterus. Then it gradually grows up into an embryo. This embryo is transformed into a child.

Eugenic science has also admitted that, “If the genes carried by the chromosomes contributed by the ovum be not compatible with and complementary to genes carried by the chromosomes contributed by the sperm, then the child born out of such incompatible combination comes to be possessor of inferior attributes and undesired “biological make-up”. On the other hand, when genes contributed by both sperm and ovum happen to be compatible with and complementary to one another, the child born out of such combination is expected to inherit superior attributes, sublime instincts and an unadulterated “biological make-up”.

It is often seen that out of a same pair of parents one child is born with scholarly aptitude, kind heart, sober and gentle exposition of behavior, deep devotion for parents and he excels in his career. But the other is born dull, ill tempered, cruel and with no love and regard for his parents and he suffers life-long distress. One child exhibits spiritual bent of mind and shows interest in ecclesiastical activities from his very childhood. But the other one comes to be most materialistic in attitude and epicurean in nature. So it is said that five fingers of hand are not equal. Science makes practical investigation and then comes to conclusion. We may refer to the finding of Russian scientist named Dr. Amram Scheinfeld and see what he has pointed out in his book 'The new you and the heredity'.
According to Mr. Scheinfeld, the particular ovum eagerly waiting in the fallopian tube accepts and embraces only one particular sperm out of millions of sperms which wins the spectacular race in the fallopian tube. Of course, Mr. Scheinfeld has not traced out why does this particular fortunate sperm wins the race and reach the ovum before all other sperms in the race.However, the zygote thus formed out of compatible combination will be manifested in to and individual being. The nature, potential attributes, intrinsic significance the being are determined by the permutation and combination between the 23 chromosomes of the sperm and 23 chromosomes of the ovum.

From the statement of Mr. Scheinfeld, in his book “The new you and the heredity”, we come to know that in one fertilization 300,000,000,000,000 types of individual being may be born. Mr. Scheinfeld says “But to produce a given individual, both a specific sperm and a specific egg must come together. So think, what had to happen for you to have been born.”
Mr. Scheinfeld finds the result through the following calculation;
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in one sperm this 23 pairs of chromosomes can be arranged in 16,777,216 ways through permutation and combination. So a sperm can take up about 16,777,216 types of forms, according to different arrangement among 23 pairs of chromosomes. “At exactly the instant, the one out of 16,777,216 sperms which represented the potential half of you had to meet with specific egg which held the other potential half of you. That could happen only once in some 300,000,000,000,000 times” .
“Why specific time of union between a specific sperm and a specific egg to produce a world famous Lincoln or Shakespeare or a most ordinary labor, a great scientist or a numbskull?”, is so important has not been explained by Mr. Scheinfeld. He has left it on a chance and miraculous coincidence....

Inception has paramount Importance

There is no denying of the role of education and environment, environment will work no doubt, but it works always on the 'Biological-make-up' of the man.The function of education and environment in developing a child may be compared with function of soil and atmosphere in developing a seed. Without proper soil and good seed fails to yield desired fruits. Similarly, without proper education and congenial environment a human being cannot bloom into his full potentiality.

But if the seed is of inferior variety, then however fertile may be the soil, we can never obtain superior quality of fruits from that variety of seed. Similarly, if a child is born with infected “Biological-make-up”, anomalous instincts and less potentiality, we can never develop the child into a man of integrated personality, balanced exposition, enriched with greater potentiality and inexhaustible urge to run towards Eternal Becoming.

We know that the same soil nurtures seeds to sprout into various plants with their specific botanical properties. It is in the same soil and atmosphere that different seeds sprout into varieties of seedlings and then into plants to yield different fruits with varieties of tastes, flavor, chemical properties, medicinal values and nutritive efficiency for human health. But it is neither the soil nor the atmosphere that differentiates one plant from another; it is the latent specifics lying in the seeds themselves that make this differentiation in tastes, flavor, and nutritive properties. Similarly, the same education and environment provide different individual with nurture and nutrition. But men of different 'Biological-make-up', instints and potentiality grow up in different types of personalities.In the process of growth a man picks up necessary nourishment from his environment. But he picks up according to his inherent instincts.

Inception for Art of Living

An individual being is born through inception. Inception implies the very moment when a sperm of father fertilizes an ovum in mother and thus zygote impregnated with a life thrill or 'soul' is formed in the womb of the mother. The character, conduct behavior as well as his efficiency, achievement and the very nature of the individual grown out of this zygote depend basically on the intrinsic nature of the 'Jaivi-Sangsthiti' (biological make-up) in the individual. Modern eugenic science ascribes the above-mentioned attributes mainly to the genes contributed by the parents.
The (biological make-up) in an individual is determined at the time of inception. It is the intensity of the cohesive urge with which a sperm is attracted towards the ovum, compatibility among the genes contributed by both sperm and ovum, and the extent of eagerness with which the ovum receives the sperm with all its inner attributes and potentiality that determine the very intrinsic nature of (biological make-up). It is this (biological make-up) that governs how the individual being will happen to display his 'self'. Hence inception plays a paramount role in producing a better individual 'being' with richer instinct, sublime nature and unadulterated (biological make-up)

The sprouting essence (Satta)
          latent in the seed in which
              all the natural characteristics of germination
being ingrained in functional attributes
 sprout into a living entity
    through proper nurture and nutrition
with the conglomeration of stability, nature,
        attributes and function
that conglomeration of the very essence (satta) latent in the seed
          may be called 'Jaive-Sangsthiti'(biological make-up)

Degeneration in mankind And it's solution

Science admits that nothing happens without a definite cause behind it. Man is said to have been created by God himself. The Bible says, “God created man after his own image”. “Hence it is a fact that as God is pure, so man is pure, God is perfect and benignant, so man is perfect and benignant”. God is unique and without second, man is also unique and without any one like him in the creation.

But the reality that is evident in the world does not corroborate with the above maxim. Human beings ever confront, with savaging attitude, atrocity, inhuman cruelty displayed through forceful raping, burglary, unadjusted and unsympathetic behavior from the people in man's own environment. Man seems to have lost the last drop of love, mercy, decorum of life and the sense of humanity ingrained in his very being itself. Moreover, wherever we survey we come across innumerable people burdened with frustration, a sense of insecurity sense of self-alienation and an unprecedented dark desolation in the depth of almost every human being. Science and technology have done their best to provide man with comfort and amenities. But yet man seems to have been tossed in the current and eddies of excruciating pain due to disharmony, anomaly, treachery, ungratefulness and dragonic sense of despair and despondency in personal life, conjugal life, social life and in every sphere of life itself.
Why does this happen in man who is the offspring of God himself? Why does the heavenly nature in Man who is said to be the replica of the supreme divine term to be hellish one?

Sri Sri Thakur Anukul Chandra, popularly known as Sri Sri Thakur, founder of 'SATSANG', and the best fulfiller of all the prophets, firmly believes that every human being is pure, perfect, and replica of the Source. The apparent degeneration in man is due to deceased condition of nature in him.
If a man is cured of his disease in nature through proper treatment, he will shine in his pristine purity and display his very intrinsic divinity ever entwined with his very existence itself; this may be called curative measure. We are also told that “prevention is better than cure”
The virus of degeneration that causes disease in nature primarily permeates in man through his inception. If an adequate measure is taken to check this permeation of the virus through inception, the man is expected to shine in his pristine purity. This may be called preventive measure. Let us deal with the preventive measure first...
