“EVERYONE ENDEAVOURS HARD FOR IT, BUT ONLY HE WHOM
GOD ORDAINS IS SUCCESSFUL”
Dr. A. Subba Rao
My Dear Brothers and Sisters,
My hearty pranams to all of you.
The topic of the seminar “Every one endeavours hard
for it, but only he whom God ordains is successful”
which has been taken from the First Message of the
Master (SDG,pg-5,2006 edition) is the most
significant message which reveals to humanity the
‘Advent’ of Special Personality in the form of
Revered Babuji Maharaj on 04th May,1944.
The message is having many vital points to be
understood, practiced and imbibed. The message
covered most importantly a) Advent b) The aspect of
single pointed orientation to God (Master) c)
Constant remembrance d) 9 PM Prayer and e)The New
Link. These are very significant from practical
angle.
The Drastically remodeled system of Natural Path
necessarily demands us to come up to the
expectations of the Divine. We (humanity) have no
choice but to adapt and reorient ourselves in the
changed environment of time so as to justify our
existence as well as deliver results as per the
mandate of Divine in terms of transformation of man
(Humanity) which are practically ingrained in the
letter and spirit of 6th and 9th
Commandments of the Great Master.
6th Commandment says ‘Know all people as
Thy brethren and Treat them as such’. This fact of
Fraternity is very crucial and fundamental for any
subsequent action and transaction in the world. In
the message titled ‘Unity’ delivered at Shahjahanpur
on 10-10-1981 the Master says “There is no question
of separation. We are coming closer and closer. This
is a message to all”. (SDG-pg 138)
The Master also exhorts about this in the message
titled ‘Spiritual Destiny’ which was delivered by
Him on the occasion of Basanth Utsav at Shahjahanpur
on 30th January 1982. “We are all
brethren connected intellectually, morally and
spiritually – The main Goal of human life ……”.
(SDG-pg 110, edition2003)
The Great Master further stated in His message in
August 1982 delivered at Paris “We are all one.
Natural Path is for integration.……Co-operation is
the life of coming events ………. We are united in the
common cause keeping towards proper order, the good
of man and humanity” and He further said ‘service is
better than served’. (SDG- pg.137-2003 edition)
After returning from Paris in the year 1982 the
Great Master took ill and left the mortal coils on
19th April 1983 and making His
Consciousness spread the Whole Universe for guiding
the spiritual destinies of all. He is the ‘Living
Master’ in astral form for a millennia. The Master
is assisting us from the astral plane as he
promised. “I shall be more useful when I (had) left
my physical form”.(see letter of Revered Babuji to
Dr.K.C.Varadachari dt:30-1-1958) ( The Masters- pg.
63).Therefore the orientation of practicants of the
system shall be to Sri Ram Chandra Consciousness
only which is nothing but Universal Consciousness.
The nature of Sri Ram Chandra Consciousness is pure
and unalloyed love for all and for every thing.
Love and Piety are most essential spiritual
qualities that need to be had and developed by all.
The 9th Commandment of the Master which
says ‘Mould your living so as to rouse a feeling of
love and piety in others’ is the essential
requirement and in a way is the acid test for our
evolution towards Divinity and moulding of the lower
in terms of the higher and so on. Therefore, it is
incumbent that these truths of fraternity and
oneness (love) needs to be developed by all seekers
towards all and everything by ‘Loving Him who loves
all’ with sincere and dedicated meditations on
Points A & B and Prayer at 9 PM. The regular
influxes of Pranahuti into the hearts of seekers
through individual sittings, satsangs and during
Bhandaras helps in developing access to higher
regions, stabilization and further refinement of
consciousness to enable seekers to transform
themselves as potential carriers of Master’s
message. This is the experience of many seekers
assembled here well in tune with the system. The
Pranahuti is only a support that is unique to the
system of Sri Ram Chandra and not a replacement of
individual effort. But this support system is
phenomenal and that is a matter of experience of all
disciples of Sri Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur. The
courage and confidence are abundantly bestowed by
the Master through His theory of Parllelism. Not
withstanding any quantum of practice, one is
unlikely to succeed without becoming an embodiment
of fraternity. These realizations are prerequisites
to enable the seeker to enter the sacred sphere of
‘Service’ mode , live in that mode , by that mode
and for that mode. The realization of Service as the
Goal and Service as the means has to be accepted in
letter and spirit to be able to be vibrant with the
motto of the ISRC “In the service of the eternally
present Supreme Personality” as depicted in the
Emblem.
Without this conviction, committed participation as
a fraternal duty (Service-towards transformation of
man) one is unlikely to become dearer to the
Divine.
From the autobiography and works of the Master it is
evident that as a Unique Spiritual event a Special
Personality came into being on 4th May,
1944 in the form of Sri Ram Chandraji Maharaj of
Shahjahanpur, U.P., India. It was Sri Lalaji
Maharaj, the Adiguru of the system who moulded Sri
Ram Chandraji Maharaj of Shahjahanpur (Pujya Babuji)
to become Special Personality. His Master (Pujya
Lalaji Maharaj) and all the earlier masters have
merged in the Special Personality including Bhagvan
Sri Krishna. Pujya Babuji Maharaj stated “It is in
dutiful compliance of my Master’s wishes revealed to
me as His representative that I have established
Shri Ram Chandra Mission after His name and in His
memory. The Mission aims promulgation of the
ideology set forth by the Great Master of Fathegarh,
U.P. through the newly introduced system of Sahaj
Marg to meet the need of time and to awaken the
sleeping masses to Divine Consciousness” (Sruti,
vol.1-pg 650).The SRCM is doing its job in
popularizing the message of the Great Master and
humanity is grateful to it.
A devoted band of abhyasis following the system of
Sri Ram Chandraji with an explicit idea of spreading
the system of Sadhana in its true form, content and
character founded The Institute of Sri Ram Chandra
Consciousness in August 1991 at Hyderabad. The
inspiration behind this great endeavour is Pujya Sri
K.C.Narayana. The endeavour was stupendous as it
involved the genesis of a New Order- Revered
Dr.K.C.Varadachari Order. The Master Sri Ram
Chandraji Maharaj of Shahjahanpur, U.P. India wrote
in his letter to Sri K.C. Narayana Dt. 22-10-1979
“You know Narayana that I have done whatever the
need was for the spiritual life of man and the work
is still continued. The system is there, my support
is there, yet it is for the persons like you first
educate abhyasis and then do further research work.
I have great hope from you”.
The Institute has got clear cut objectives and
scientific method of working on the lines of Revered
Babuji Maharaj’s system and methods. Sri K.C.N. has
been sharing all his spiritual experiences in the
spirit of Bodhayanthi Parasparam and authored the
most monumental work ‘The Path of Grace’,
‘The five kosas –Role in Sadhana under PAM’, and
most importantly on ‘Pranahuti’ have illumined many
seekers. In addition the clarity given on 64 points,
the experiences beyond Sahasrara and Rings of
Splendour bear testimony to his masterliness in the
system of PAM. and has been fulfilling his Master’s
wish of making masters.
The ISRC through ‘Imperience’ (Centre for Research
and Training) is conducting education, trainings and
research work in Pranahuti Aided Meditation. The
‘Imperiance’ has developed the evaluation tools to
assist seekers on the path in their evaluation and
work is continuing under the able guidance of Sri
K.C.N. to substantiate the Scientific Nature of the
system and methods as desired by Pujya Babuji
Maharaj.
Those of us who read the autobiographies of Masters
understand a profound uniqueness in all which is to
extinguish themselves totally and abide in the
realms of Negation and beyond. In all of them ‘Beej
Dagdh’ has happened well in advance. Therefore these
personalities are chosen by Divinity (God) and they
are successful. It is to be appreciated that God is
not a person and Godly Consciousness is the truth
(realms of Divine). Such personalities while in body
attained human perfection and Master says “Human
perfection lies in realizing The Master as the
Master in true sense and oneself as his slave
devoted entirely in His service” (Dus Usool,-pg.57).
The servants of the Divine who have opted for the
service to the Master and permitted by Him need to
have this attitude firmly and serve with all
humility and reverence those who seek service. The
great Master says by developing and maintaining this
attitude “One created in himself a state of negation
which attracts His direct attention and establishes
a link with Him. Now it becomes incumbent upon one
discharges duties in like manner keeping the link
intact so that the Masters Greatness be engrossed
upon his heart and he may be in His direct view”.(
Trainers manual- pg 25)
Therefore all the seekers need to understand that
the goal of Masters is transformation of man. While
individual transformation and realization are
prerequisites and essentials, one needs to come out
of one’s undue concern and obsession with his own
progress so that he becomes dearer to the Divine and
as the topic of the seminar says “Every one
endeavours hard for it, but only he whom God ordains
is successful” gains meaning in one’s Consciousness
and expresses dynamic participation in the spiritual
regeneration of mankind.
Pranams.
