Basanth 2012.

Dear co travellers on the Path,
My sincere pranams to the holy assembly and to each individual in
the assembly.
1.
I am mightily happy to join all of you on this happy occasion of the
140th birthday celebrations of our most revered Grand
Master Lalaji Maharaj of Fategarh. We all know that with
him the new era started and humanity is moving forward
by leaps and bounds into the new Era not withstanding
many an odds. We have all understood with the Imperience
that is granted to us in the realms of Void that we
experience as revered Silence, ‘that it is necessary to
condition our consciousness all through the world by a
systematic, consistent and uniform method of
substitution of universal ends in place of the narrow
parochial and patriotic motives must be conceded if life
should evolve to a better order and plane’. It is
obvious that before the new order comes the old must be
purged.
2.
Many things hitherto unheard of and unknown are happening in the field of religion and
many branches thereof parading as spirituality. Gurus of
display and magic are getting exposed by the day and
major religions are facing such challenges to their
basic tenets and structures are signs of the increasing
energy of New Era affecting us. The new Era is opening
up renewed individual spirituality in which we no longer
seek interpretations of the Holy Scriptures and get
guided by them and instead we connect directly with the
universal spirituality.
3.
This approach to scriptures was started by our revered Grand Master
who gave his interpretation of the Vedas and scriptures
based on his own Sruti and smrti. I am proud to be
associated with ISRC which has gathered his research
articles in this regard and published in a book form
“Journey to Infinity”. But as the saying goes ‘first
things first’. We are passing through the dying era
which as all eras before it is bursting forth in a
concentration of negative energy of absolute and
unadulterated materialism and its disgusting aberrations
of violence and exploitation. At present it appears
‘Insanity’ is ruling everywhere and in all the fields of
education, labour, science and technology and medical
attendance and even in researches in medicine. But this
agonising period shall be passed through. The vision of
our Master Babuji Maharaj is clearly getting revealed to
all. Never before had we heard of floods in desert
areas, nor tsunamis becoming common in places where we
never witnessed such a phenomenon earlier.
4.
We are passing the predicted terms of blood, pestilence, suffering,
and violence—all the horrors to be rained down on
humanity before the chosen stand beside God in the
millennium of peace that reigns thereafter. Many
interpret this to mean the end of the world. But it is
not the end of the world; it is the end of the past. The
old order dies and the new born and we are witnessing
the world as we know comes to an end and all humanity
unites in peace to bring the Natural Path of
Spirituality to all the Earth, to bring the spirit of
Samavarti into our lives. This is the very spirit of the
New Era, of compassion and caring for our fellows on
Earth and yonder, of fraternity and unity and peace. But
before it comes, the old must be purged. The only way it
will be purged is through a washing away of the sins of
the past and thinking of the past, to open the way for
what is to be. And as many devout followers of Sri
Ramchandraji of Shahjahanpur believe, those times are
already upon us.
5.
In this new Era, we break from the past to invent the future we
desire in our society and in our person. The answers we
find will be wholly new ones, totally original ones, but
they require a thorough examination of what has been and
what we wish to come. All answers come from the Sri
Ramchandra Consciousness and they may not be to our
liking. We have to integrate ourselves to the new Order
and all our institutions as we know them must adapt to
this new reality. I have a strong feeling that we are
all blessed by the Master to have such a capacity and we
shall be really the forerunners in the new world of
spirituality where material interests are at the lowest
bottom.
6.
The time is not just for the integration of humanity, but for the
integration of all its codes, canons, and concepts. We
are not just reinventing ourselves, but all of our
systems of society. The rules that bind, the laws that
chain, the edicts that keep us in constant conflict with
ourselves, all shall perish. The Master of this
millennium has come in the form of our Master physically
and yet unnoticed by other than those specially gifted
to know spiritually. That is why he could say ‘people
come to see me rarely one sees me’. The Master is
entirely spiritual Master enters to our being the moment
we are introduced into this system of PAM and this was
asserted by him several times. Those who doubt this
never naturally feel him and the loss is theirs. We
should know that it is the spirit of Master or
consciousness of Sri Ramchandra that enters into our
being and to our souls and we are awakened in the realm
of spirituality. That is the reality at Dawn.
7.
It is the cosmic inner Sri Ramchandra that has come and it is time
we all realise and live in the awareness that we are all
children of God. Universal fraternity shall no more be
an ideal but a reality that we all live by. Master has
come and is living nearby in our heart to show us the
way to unite with that divine universal spirit. It is
the Sri Ramchandra consciousness that is reigning now
and it has become a reality. We do unto others as per
the directions from within and it is all the while
compassion and love to others. In a poetic imagery I may
say it is all the world of little children who know no
envy or greed or avarice or unkindness. He who loves all
lives in our hearts and thereby loving is the language
of the Era.
8.
Now it is an act of love of our Master that will make us take a deep
plunge into his consciousness and become empowered to
express the message of the Master to all humanity. Our
love for Masters’ message is so very deep that every
action of ours would be seen by all as messages beaming
from the Master himself. It is neither the identity
badges nor attendance in congregations that matter to
qualify ourselves as messengers of the Master but actual
acts of love, compassion, sacrifice, cooperation and
service. From marking attendance in satsanghs or
congregations we shall endeavour to become cynosures of
attention of the Master whose watchful eyes never miss
attending to the deserving ones. Repeating prayers and
attending to purification process in a routine manner
neither does good to the aspirant nor the cause of the
Master. The old eras have made us accustomed to being
slaves all the time petitioning for favours from Gods
and deities of our choice and in fact we have changed
the deities to whom we pray whenever we thought they
failed us. From attending the Satsanghs and
congregations or other such pious gathering where we
have been accustomed to go to be seen we shall now focus
our attention on the work given so that we get to be
seen by Him. From the attitude of seeking more than what
is given, driven by greed we shall now start giving to
Master all the love that we are capable of not minding
whether we are going to be rewarded or not. From being
ungrateful for what we have wishing it were more, we
shall pass on into the Era. Not feeling burdened when we
get up, we shall find every morning as an opportunity to
express love and shed light into the hearts of our dear
fraternity.
9.
What is important now is to seek the true meaning of the message of
the Masters. In religion and other forms of science of
Divine, for two thousand years, the messages of the
earlier Masters have been exploited, used by preachers,
pastors and priests to build beautiful and impressive
castles, to build treasure troves of riches while the
poor starved. They served as salesmen of paradise and
perdition to build palaces. But few put the message of
the masters, the message of love, into practice. Often,
it was just the opposite. Too many have been killed in
the name of God. Religion by and large had been a
dividing principle rather than an integrative one.
Whenever a new Master came on the scene a big coterie
got established and enshrined around him and the message
of the Master had always been molested and distorted
beyond recognition. More wars were waged in the name of
God. Raja gurus and Matadhipathis, Inquisitors and pious
prosecutors sent too many so- called heretics and
witches to their deaths. Now we must renounce all the
venom of the past, release the centuries of anger, and
breathe the peace and love of the New Era. We must stop
being beggars seeking salvation or praying for
prosperity and become grateful participants in the order
of the universe, in harmony with the grand plan of the
Master who is preparing the ground to make this earth a
paradise.
10.
But there will be many who will resist the truth of the new era.
They may try at first by playing upon the sense of
self-doubt that lies within each of us. Self-doubt
exists only because we have allowed others to define our
reality for so long that we no longer know what is real
anymore. When we look inside and catch the first sight
of what is real and it does not concur with what those
around us have said and are saying at the moment, we
discard it. We doubt ourselves because we have allowed
others to tell us what truth is. But as we reach deeper
into the New Era, we will reach deeper inside ourselves
for the truth. And as we learn the truth, we will no
longer need or want others to interpret it for us. This
will cause friction with those who defend the
institutions they feel comfortable with, the
institutions they cling to like a security blanket in a
world they really are not comfortable with at all. Those
who cannot, or do not dare, to look inside themselves
for the truth will be the ones who will resist the rest
of us the most. They will be the ones who challenge the
rest of us the most. They will be the ones who try to
make the rest of us think that we are wrong because they
want desperately to believe that they are right, and
they know that once their faith is shaken, they have
nothing left to cling to. But be wary of anyone who
demands that you have blind faith in what they are
saying. If they will not allow scrutiny, it is possibly
because their beliefs cannot stand up to scrutiny. And
when those who hide within the institutions because they
do not dare to look inside themselves feel that they are
losing their grip on the rest of us, they will fight.
11.
Be wary of such persons and keep your minds, eyes, ears and tongue
glued on the Master and his great mission of
transformation of humanity. That is our breath, that is
our voice and that is our song. That is my prayer to all
my associates.
Pranam.
