In our previous edition, you have come to know what is life and what is life meant for. You by
now know that, we are not the distinct innumerable variables as we find with our naked eye.
Rather we are that Unique, the only existent, that infinite Unit or Sattwa. He exists alone and
does work with numerous hands of us, eats with numerous mouths of us. We are not the part of
that super soul, but are that supersoul, because he alone exists and he cannot be parted or added
as he is that Super constant, which Mathematics denotes by the 0. You also know by now that,
the life of us is to fill parted from the super soul by the super action of Mahakal, or god of time,
the process called by Sankhya Yoga as Mahath, and gradually forget his existence by the 20
demons or subjects of Mahamaya, god of illusion. The 20 demonic subjects include 6 Ripus, 8
Pases and 6 Senses or Indriyas. The Six Ripus are: Kam, Krodh, Lobh, Moha, Modha and
Matsaya, which means respectively lust, anger, greed, blind attachment, Jealousy and
foolishness( for thinking oneself to be very powerful). The eight pases are fear, cold, false
ego, envy, hunger, laziness, disbeliefand wrong understanding. The six senses are five of our
senses, see, smell, hear, taste, touch and the sixth is mind. Why mind? Because which we
denote as mind is not at all a mind but is the keywords of our brain, which are derived from
earlier bitter experience and is directed by the six ripus and eight pases. Our objective of life is to
identify these 20 demons as demons and enemies and then engage ourself in a rigorous war with
them. Ultimately defeat them to reach the 0 degree again adheres with converted experience at
360 degree. Our goal of life is to awake the Kula Kundalini and the process you by now know to
be the use of trident. But its very easy to say that use the trident to raise the kundalini, I
understand. But in practice there remain numerous obligations, the major among which is the
concept. Why to practice? Why? Why? The answers of these whys are the sketch of life. The
Greatest of beings, who have understood the need of human has sketched the life at different
times in different way but aiming the same thing, use of trident. Lord Krishna in his sketch of life

has formed the Bhagwad Gita. Another Divine personality has sketched the life in the same
manner but in a different way. Why in a different way? In this world governed by computers,
you know that, the first initiation is discovery or invention; the second is system building and the
last is User interface. We have got the discovery in the Upanishadas. We have got the system in
Manu Samhita and the user interface in Bhagwad Gita. But the user interface has to be changed
at time to time depending on the user and accordingly there should be necessary changes in the
system depending on the time so that, the goal remain same. Lord Ramakrishna made the
necessary changes in the user interface. He kept the motive and impressions of Bhagwad Gita
intact. There remains three basic sections, Gyan Yoga, Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga. What he
did is making the object more user friendly, identifying that those typical words creates fear
among people and signifying that the words he says reaches the Mind and intellect of people. His
words can also be segregated in three basic divisions:
Develop the Selfor Gyan Yoga
Adapt the Selfor Karma Yoga
Be the Selfor Bhakti Yoga
We now will look at these words and understand the meaning of them and arrange them to find
the sketch of the life this Great Human have sketched and exhibited before us through not only
words but also through his own life. But before that let us know who that person was, how was
he and what was he.

Prayer
The real time Superhero was born in a small village in modern West Bengal in India named
Kamarpukur, as a son of very poor yet a serious Brahmin family on 18th
of February 1836. At the
age of eight he got his first inspiration to be a sadhak and the story starts from there. He was
appointed as a priest in the Radha-Krishna Mandir at Dakshineswar Kali Mandir, with the help
of his elder brother Haladhari, who was a priest in the Kali mandir in the Dakshineswar Maha
Mandir. But he had got his unique style of worship. By seeing at the worship everyone felt that
Gadadhar, the birth name of Lord was chating with the goddess as if the Murti or Idol is not an
idol but a real human. Gradually this unusual behavior was felt as if Gadai or the Lord has
become mad. Haldhari took the role of a real guardian, from social guardian to religious
guardian, and tried Gadadhar to be taught from different Gurus, Like Jatadhari of Vaishnavas,
then Vairavi Brahmani of Tantra, then Totapori of Vedanta. But everytime, undesirably in a very
short time, the Lord not only learnt the technique of Sadhana or a process of dissolving the Soul
in the Supersoul, but also became the king of the technique and ultimately became Siddha. And
there the debate started. General human after becoming siddha, i.e. after his soul dissolves in theSuperSoul never gets his soul back, but the lord got it back. This special quality is only found in
the Incarnations or Avatars. Ultimately, he was assigned to be an incarnation of bhakti. He had
got many disciples, of which eleven were prominent, among which Swami Vivekananda was
very much prominent. He by his beloved disciple turned his sketch into work, and paved the path
for every life seekers to understand the sketch and live the life for living the life. Lord Krishna

drew a sketch through Bhagwad Gita to reveal the absolute truth in the form of the ultimate truth,
where as our dear lord have drawn such a sketch which is very much user friendly, and thus
making the path easy and comfortable for all the life seekers. Let us now find out the sketch
drawn by lord. But before that I will be very much pleased to thank with deep gratitude to that
prominent disciple of thakur, Shrim, or Shri Mahim Chandra Chattapadhyay for his such
concrete notation and documentation of the sketch in Sri Ramkrishna Kathamrita or The
Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna.
And also before starting, I seek my beloved Lord and Guru's permission and blessings. O my
Lord! O my dear Guru! Om Paramgurum Ramkrishnabe! Om Paramprakritim
Saradamani! Please keep my intellect at your lotus feet! Please keep my devoted heart
under your ever blessing palm! Please keep my atma devoted and blindly attached to you!
My dear guru, Paramguru Ramkrishna, without your blessing, it was impossible for a
sudra like me to listen the words of Truth; impossible for a faded personality like me to
understand the life, the sketch of life; impossible for a unchanted fellow like me to express
your thoughts. O Lord! My dear lord please be blessing like that, so that following your
blessing the entire world becomes life seekers and thus fix You to be the goal of Life and
thus reach you to fulfill the goal of Life. What it is? As you said 'Attaining God is the Goal of
Life.'

Develop the Self
The first of the three divisions made to express the sketch of the Lord is to develop the self. As
have been discussed earlier, you know that what we say to be the mind but a sense of
misguidance or illusion. The real mind or Atma or Jibatma or Soul or the Self whatever you call
remains hidden inside. All the word of the Lord is to awaken that self. Lets find out what he is
saying.
Curd is needed to be laid down at silence, then the curd is to be grinded to take out the
Butter.
The butter is a food product that is the best of the foods provided for god. It is also very much
liked by lord Krishna. Why so? The process of preparing the butter is same to that of devoting
life to attain god. The curd is to be laid down at silence, likewise thought of life or god is to be
done at silence; then the summed up curd is to be grinded, likewise the thoughts are to grinded
by the intellect; and then the butter is prepared, likewise the self reveals from beneath of thecurtains of illusion and time. Thus Lord is saying to think of the life, what is it? why is it? what
to do with it? what should be done with it? in a very silent manner, such that nobody can guess
also what he is doing. Why is our Lord saying to practice it like an underneath river? Its because
of the fact that most of the people on earth are living a life under the precautionary observance of
illusion and time, which does nothing but turns the universe to a tiny room, where only thought
remaining is I, Me and Myself. If the thoughts of self is to be thought of and that also infront of
those people then, they will destroy your thought at once, or if cannot they will call you mad and
turn you out from their view and then also the purpose if not served they may kill you also. So be
not to be disturbed, you do onething think of self, but do neither expose your thoughts nor
expose the fact that you are thinking. This will keep you in a safe position to carry on your
thoughts, without any disturbance.

When a plant is a sibbling, then its root is to be protected by fences, otherwise cows and
goats eats the shrubs to turn its existance at stake.
This is an addition to the earlier verse. But why do the common people try to destroy the root of
those thoughts? Because of fear. They search for happiness in the illusion alone. They run after
fame and money and for that they generate anger for the obligations of attaining that fame or
getting that money or pleasure of lust; they generate fear for loosing those pleasure of lust, fame
and money; they generate false ego of their belongings of lust fame and money and the power
on the society generated from them; they generate jealousy to those who are equivalent to them
in possession of lust, fame and money and generate and envy to everyone who he think to be
jealous on their possessions and thus they try to find happiness out of those possessions, which is
ever variable. So they want to destroy this thoughts out fear of losing their possessions. Why so?
Because they rightly think that this thoughts breaks illusion and breaking illusion means
snatching their possessions, where their complete attachment lies. For this reason, they says to
these special thinkers that, what are you thinking! again those rubbish thoughts! if you want your
good leave those thoughts. So keep the fences, the silence to preserve your thoughts.
A sibling should be protected by fence. once it gets bigger, then it becomes a giant tree,
tying elephant at its root cannot destroy it.
Until the mind devotes in truth, until the mind starts gaining faith, until the mind learns to sketch,
if the root or the mind exposes its thought, which are in a very embryonic stage, it can be easily
destroyed or damaged. But once the embryo turns to a baby, once the life adds to the embryo, the
baby cannot be destroyed. Likewise, once the faith is established in truth, once the truth is
visualized with that faith, the truth can never be washed off from mind, and gradually the mind
resides in truth, and once the soul resides within the supersoul, the supersoul protects the soul
and thus the soul cannot be taken off from the touch of supersoul by any means.
Who have learnt music never misses a note in the song.
Thus at the beginning is the hard work, to learn the music, to establish the heart in lord, to
establish the soul in the supersoul. Once that is done, then it is impossible to make it out of the
touch of supersoul as Lord alone guides him everytime. But what quality is to be generated in
mind to reside there?

A wet matchstick doesn't burn
What a fine answer to the question. Here matchstick is the mind and a burning matchstick is an
enlightened mind. By what it is enlightened? It is enlightened by the knowledge of truth, it is
enlightened by the ability to sketch the life. What quality is required to enlighten the mind? The
mind needs to be dry. Till its wet, it can not be enlightened. How can a mind be wet? A mind can
be wet by the attachment to material objects, by the weakness to 20 demons. The affection to the
senses, the mistake of sense of mind to be mind, the mind effected of lust, fear, anger, false ego,
envy, jealousy is a wet mind. How to dry it! Not by mere stopping those senses, the mind cannot
be dried off.
Turn the six enemies to lord.
But the ripus or pases or the senses cannot be killed, because those are not the false but also
truth, although faded, but still truth. So Lord guides to turn them to the lord. How! Be a Gyan
Yogi, learn the truth, generate faith in truth and then devote the mind to lord. Keep the false ego,
it is not to be destroyed as long as body is there, keep it like I am a Bhakta. Feel anger to loose
time by not chanting Lord's name; feel anger for forgetting for a moment that the lord does all;
feel anger for thinking that I am the doer. Feel fear thinking that I will be lost if I cannot attain
lord; feel fear thinking that I should not cheat, if I do, I will loose my stand to get Lord; thinking
that I will not run after fame, because once I will get it I will be so anxious that I will forget
Lord. Feel jealous for someone who is chanting more as he will go ahead to attain god. Feel envy
to be anxious to loose lord every time. Feel lust to Lord and so meditate on lord as there is the
lust with Lord. Please your ears to listen Bhajans; Please your eyes to look at different posses of
Lord, different actions of Lord; Please your noses to smell sweet smell of agarbati or burning
sticks; Please your taste by tasting sweets and butter or makhans; Please your skin or touch sense
by meditation as there the joy makes your touch senses pleased to make your skin hairs stand on
their end; Please your sensual mind by reading books on truth and lord, and think of themlogically, scientifically and practically. Ultimately turn your total attachment to Lord otherwise:
Attachment kills Intellect.
Here Thakur says a direct sentence sharper than the tip of a knife. Intellect, what it is? It is the
logical state of the Soul. It remains until the soul is placed in the supersoul as it guides the soul
-

10/46
S w a r n a Y u g C h a p t e r I I Page 1
towards the supersoul. Once the soul is placed in the Supersoul, it remains then only activated
when the body is busy doing its duty, where the intellect always places logic to establish what to
do and what not to as duty, because doing responsibilities and not duty diverts the soul to think
of the results of work, and thinking of the results of the work means generating attachment
towards the work, which will ultimately kill the intellect as sensual mind will regenerate to
suppress the soul and this is the fast backward in life. Why so?
Goal of life is to attain God.
Another strong, sharp and bold and wonderfully a word whose every word is full of ultimate
truth! What is life? Life is not from the start of a body but it starts from the generation of a soul
in the frame of time and illusion. Then it moves in a circular path and it redissolves or reunites
with the supersoul by moving away from the frame of time and illusion. So, thakur says of the
goal of life. The goal of a soul is to be dissolved in super soul or to attain god, all others are mere
objectives in that circular path. The person who has fixed his mind in God and decided that
attaining lord is his goal of olife is the best of all men in the society, with best knowledge of life
and best motive, and is among the most efficient person in the earth. But where to exactly
mould? Thakur says:
In one liter bottle can four liter of milk be poured?
We often in our life is very much curious. Out of curiosity, we try to learn as many things as
possible, out of curiosity comes lust, comes hunger of fame and money, out of curiosity we
travel, we try to change our caste, our religion, our country, even try to know the future and with
boast generated from this knowhow we also try to change the future of us, shred off the
mishappenings by taking aid of various stones and like that. But what to do with those vast know
how? Just like a teacher with too many pupils cannot tackle anyone or anything and teaching
remains at stake and earning envelops all, our knowhows also envelops our thoughts. We go on
collecting knowhows and knowhows and never recollect them or arrange them to find out the
summary or the base meaning or the knowledge. Thakur says about this madness. Madness of
generating knowhows by not generating knowledge out of that. Sri Chaitanya Dev said that there
is no requirement to read five books, read one and that is enough. Thakur is not only saying but
criticizing us accurately. We try to know all, but nothing at all. If we devote ourself to know
-
7/31/2019 The Sketch of Life
11/46
S w a r n a Y u g C h a p t e r I I Page 1
what exactly is happening and how is those happening, then the happenings are needless to be
known. So he says, pour one litre in one litre bottle, because pouring more will result same and
try to extract the truth from what you know. Truth is revealed by continual debate within,
between mind and intellect and not by mere gathering knowhows of what is happening where.
Start this debate, and to start this debate your own memory and intellect is enough, what has
been visualized by time to you is enough.
Familymen will tell so many words. Look at the elephant, when she goes so many animals
shouts at her back, but she never looks back.
Once the truth is established in the sensual mind, then you become like an elephant. Like an
elephant then, you are powerful in mind, even your mind is giant like her. Power is not a
showpiece to be displayed all the time. Power is to withstand less powerful's hazardness. Power
is to overlook the disturbance of the less powerful's and do what is better for them. What good
you can do to the society. If you want to do good for the society, then first know the truth, which
you have already done, next you dedicate yourself, your mind and soul to attain truth and to be
established in the very Truth. Because until you are established in truth, you cannot even look at
the entire thing. Standing at any point of a circle, you cannot find the circle as it is, somewhere it
will look like straight line, somewhere an arc at 10 degree and somewhere others which is not in
actual and thus a wrong interpretation and thus whatever moves you take turns wrong. So first
you have to move at the centre of the circle, where from you will be able to find the circle as it is.
So you have to be established in truth, otherwise all actions are wrong. But in the path of
attaining truth, there are many obligations, among which the major is the words of familymen.
The familymen in general are priests of the 20 demons, and giving importance to their talks is the
most foolishness and even protesting them is even more foolishness, as they are far away from
truth. So better do not give a damn to their words. Then what to do and how to do that?
Servants at the house of rich people, but their mind stays at their own house in their ownvillage.
What an example to say that keep your mind in lord and do whatever work that is needed to do.
This is the way to work. Go on doing the work, but keep chanting the name of lord within; know
at heart that I am the medium only, Lord is the doer of all; lord alone exists, we all are the
-

S w a r n a Y u g C h a p t e r I I Page 1
different images of lord; the goal of life is to attain lord, whatever I am doing now is my duty
and not the work of my life. But this requires a rigid mind, a well knitted mind, so that, you may
be like this:
Tortoise swims in water, but its mind stays at land, where its eggs are lying.
A well knitted mind will result this. The mind will be affixed at truth, then do whatever you need
to, you can never be detached from truth, as whatever you do will be analyzed from the view of
truth. So you need to have a controlled mind to behave like this and even more controlled mind
will result:
Servants at the house of rich people does everything as if it is his own house, but his mind
remains at his own village.
You will do all the works as if it is your job, your house, your organization, but your mind will
be knowing firmly that those works are none, and you belong to god alone, else what you are
doing are nothing but your duty. To make the duty you are behaving like that. But although its
all your duty, you need to preserve your thoughts and need not express it, until you find someone
to understand those. You, with your duties being followed spontaneously must be in a battle with
the twenty demons and have to win over them. But yet, you should not let others harm you.
Listen to the story narrated by Thakur.
Once there was a snake, very harmful to the nearby villagers. The villagers remained so
afraid of the snake that, they never came even near to its residential den. One day a sadhu
was passing by the village. He was told about the snake and their fear related to the snake
by the villagers. The sadhu assured the villagers to give the snake such a mantra that it will
never harm anybody anymore. He did thus accordingly and the snake became so calm that
it was not ready to harm its enemies even. The villagers took their revenge against the
snake and especially its fear and they almost smashed its head with stones. The sadhu againwas passing the village one day. He remembered the snake and went to visit it. He saw its
pitiable condition and asked it the reason for its pitiable condition. The snake told him the
story. The sadhu smiled saying, do not harm anybody, but that doesn't mean to be silent.
Show anger, but do not be angry.

S w a r n a Y u g C h a p t e r I I Page 1
You are needed to fight with the twenty demons and defeat them. But what to do by defeating
them? By defeating them, broaden your path to truth and use those demons to remain safe from
the other people. Show anger, fear but do not be angry or frightened. This will keep you safe like
the other example stated by Lord.
In Vedas there is a bird, called Hom Panchi. This bird flies high in air, lays egg there only,
the egg falls and in air only the egg bursts to lay the chick. The chick falls and in air it gets
its vision and sees its will be crashed if it falls down and then ultimately it starts flying and
flies high, thus they never comes on land.
The hom panchi is none other than the Purana's heroic Garura, the carrier of Lord Vishnu. But it
is not only the word thakur has tried to illustrate through this example. Here garura or hom
panchi is the symbol of a Gyani or a wise person. A wise person does his duty and that also in a
stupendous dutiful manner, but never does he attaches his mind in duty. In the mean time, he
chants lords name continually without any break; he prepares in his mind various requirements
of the then mankind; he waits for the signal of lord to activate his sketch; and prays to lord to be
sitted in him. But he never attaches himself with the duties, i.e. he expects nothing from his
duties as its results and he accepts whatever the result comes out of his duties, remembering that
whatever is happening is surely for the benefit of his own as well as for the entire mankind. Thus
he never reaches the ground and he does his duties to his body and family from outside without
any attachment, and Thakur is educating the mankind how to be wise by this illustration. It is
very easy to say and that much tough to stay, we all say this. We always use this common word
to weaken ourselves. Yes, by saying that we weaken ourselves and that is why Thakur is saying:
You say 'I am free', you are free; You say 'I am not free', you will ever remain dependence.
What an excellent word, so straight forward, so practical and so encouraging. Dependence or
freedom is absolutely and fully a mind game. You think, you be. Whatever you feel you are you
remain like that. You may be given a total freedom, but if you think not to be freed, you are not.
If you think that you are bound to be in attachment, you are bound to have expectation of the
work you do, you will have attachment with no doubt and wisdom will also run away from you
with no doubt. If you can feel you expect nothing, you need nothing and that is only possible
when you become partially wise, and the rest part of wisdom depends on the practice of wisdom.

S w a r n a Y u g C h a p t e r I I Page 1
This is the key to be a complete Wiseman. And there is no other option to detach attachment than
to be wise. But what to do by loosing attachment! Thakur adds:
Do work by one hand and hold Lord by other; when the work is over, hold Lord by both
the hands.
Attachment can be loosened to attain god, i.e., making all attachments turned around to lord.
Thus doing the duties in one hand and holding lord by other, i.e. attaching mind to lord and
doing all the duties. And when the call comes, then duties will cease and the lords work will
start. This is an ideal quote for moving from Gyan Yoga to Karma Yoga. In Gyan Yoga, you
have to understand the truth, realize its existence and slowly turn the knowledge to faith, and
then the faith to reliance. After that, when you can rely totally on truth, and have no doubt over
truth, then the Gyan Yoga leads to Karma Yoga. There starts the journey to do the duties without
any attachment of materials and total attachment of truth, i.e. the continual wish to establish own
self in truth. Here is the place where you have to do work with one hand, since there is no
attachment, and hold god in other hand, since your total attachment is to attain god. Once the
duties are over, then the Bhakti Yoga reveals, where you have to hold god by two hands and
desperately try to be established in truth. So Thakur says such a deep word:
Books can only say God is there, and nothing more.
Books can make the logical session to understand existence of God, the truth in better way, as
the logic becomes sharper by the understanding of the book's words. Truth is a threefold process.
The first of them is the Instaneous Truth, where the instant happenings are treated to be the
truth, which are now truth and in the next moment is untrue. The second is the Expanded Truth,
which is long lasting, like the earth is rotating, the earth radiates heat or you can say, what
modern science discovers. The last one is the Everlasting Truth, which is none other than Lord
and her exposure through this universe. Book is to read and understand the instantaneous and
expanded truth and reach the everlasting truth. Once it is understood that there is everlasting
truth, and that truth is to be attained, the duty of books is over. And this is because:
By knowledge, human alone can be molded, the Lord cannot be!
-

S w a r n a Y u g C h a p t e r I I Page 1
Human can easily influence by words of books, because very few human undergoes those books.
They think that those are the words of the person and not the book, and they rely on the words of
the person. Not also that, if someone teaches how to be fit, and how to be free from diseases and
how to elongate life, by a created personality pretending like a sadhu, human believes that he is a
sadhu. They only understand long live and think for material desires. Whoever supports them in
this desire is a sadhu to them, be it by bookish words or by hatyog or asanas alone is a sadhu to
them. But it is the nature of human when living with the knowledge of Instantaneous truth as the
only truth. But truth itself or Lord is the Entire truth. No book is unread to him or her, as he/she
resides everywhere, as he/she is the total truth. He/she knows which knowledge is the rechanting
of the books, which knowledge is having the origin of he himself. Not only that, he even knows
what is coming from the devotion and faith inside and what is coming from the store house or
brain and nowhere else. So, whoever want to be focused on knowledge let he be, but to reach
truth, books and knowledge are the key to generate faith, strictness on duty and devotion. Rest
rests on you.
In the sea of family, there reside crocodiles of lust and anger. You need to be soaked in
haridra before dipping in that sea, then the crocodiles cannot get you.
Be a gyan yogi, and when faith generates and that turns to deep belief on truth, be a karma Yogi.
After the Faith is generated and you are soaked in that faith, the lust, greed, anger, false ego in
the society and in family cannot touch you and you can remain then focused at the goal of life
and do your duties. If you do not do like this, the ripus having their residence in the society in the
room of human mind, which have no gyan of yoga, will definitely tear you off to sit deep inside
of you. To get rid of those, to reach the goal of life, you need to be separated from the society for
certain time, learn the gyan of yoga and when the gyan is realized, focus on the goal, while doing
all your duties without attaching your mind in it. This is Karma Yoga. And do this very quickly,
because:
A fruit tasted by bird, cannot be sacrificed to lord.
We talk about bali pratha or sacrifice. Who can be sacrificed? Anything on earth which is fresh
and with no spot. What are this spots! This spots are nothing but the dark shadows of lust and
money. Who so ever has a shadow of those two in his/her mind cannot be sacrificed. So,
-
7/31/2019 The Sketch of Life
16/46
S w a r n a Y u g C h a p t e r I I Page 1
sacrifice is to be carried out as early as possible, just like a young goat can only be sacrificed and
not the older. We often say that why take god's name at such an young age. Either we forget the
truth or ignore it, in those cases. An older person, who married without any knowledge of truth,
who earned without any consciousness of truth, is sure to generate attachment to lust and money.
And an attached mind is not eligible to know the truth, specially the mind attached to lust and
money. In that case whenever he calls at older age is to secure his money, and bodily life and not
to make truth as goal in life. The mind which is attached to truth and nothing else before the
touch of lust and money, with proper knowledge of truth, remains untouched from money and
lust, if also he lives within them. So truth is to be realized at younger age and not at older age,
then only that soul can be sacrificed to the supersoul. You will ask then, life doesn't start from
the start of a body, then what is young or old! A heart which is eager to be dissolved in truth is
sure to be older! But the fact is such that, a body can only experience the attachment of material.
Yes of course the attachments are carried forward from earlier bodies or births, but the new body
at young age has its attachment from earlier birth, and the new attachments are to be generated.
But still then,
If something is above other, then to access the object lying below, the object lying above is
to be moved down or shedded off.
The relation between soul and supersoul is a very unanimous one. If a dark cloth with numerous
pores is left over a lighted torch, then the lights coming out of the pores are souls with the main
light of torch as supersoul. Thus supersoul is the sun and souls are the visions of the sun from
different positions, places and time. The clouds cover the sun, and the sun cannot be seen. To see
the sun you need to wait for the clouds to move away or move away the clouds. Like that thakur
is saying, the soul is hidden under dark clouds of ripus and senses. To access the soul, you need
to move those clouds, otherwise you will think the sense of mind to be soul and be more and
more dependent on sensory organs. But where to find him!
He is within all , search him, You will find him.
Supersoul is the light of the torch, soul the lights seen from the pores of the dark cloth put over
the torch light. Soul is sitted all around as the light of the torch is alone existing. So we are not
the part of that supreme, but the supreme himself, since all the lights coming out of the pores are

the light of the torch alone and nothing other than that. So lord alone exists, and whatever we
see, we feel or even we cannot see or feel is none but lord alone. So no need to search lord
elsewhere, search him within yourself, once you get him there, you can find him everywhere.
But how to search him, thakur says:
A single hole in the wire of telegram will not be able send the message.
In the path of yog, an yogi must have to be very much careful. A single mistake can turn an yogi
to a non yogi. Everytime he has to keep deep faith in Lord and at no time he should forget lord,
or think himself to be the doer. An yogi has to sleep less, eat less, talk less. Whatever he will say
will be related to humanity and truth, and whatever he thinks will be of truth. He will not behave
selfish to run for moksh, nor to earn money or fame. Whatever he will do, will either be his duty
or the practice of truth, i.e. paving the path to make humanity stand in front truth. His every
thought, every word, every action, every reaction, every expression, every devotion and every
attachment is counted by the lord of time, as he is the Maha Guru or the Supreme Teacher. Not
only that, a single mistake is not allowed for him. He have to very cautious in his thoughts, rest
will be done according to the thoughts, and of course he have to a hard worker. Lord sketches
more for the yogis like this:
Shouting 'Siddhi Siddhi' cannot give the pleasure of having Siddhi
Moksh is a word and nothing more than that, although you take the name of it thousand times a
day. If you really want to get the pleasure out of moksh, you have to work out for it. Similarly, if
you want a land of dharma, you are required to plan for it. If you think without the lord's boon
you cannot create the land, you have to work hard to please lord, you should gather enough
reason to make lord boon you. If you now ask how to get lord! How can he be pleased, then our
Lord is ready to draw the sketch.
Once a disciple asked his Guru: How can I get Lord, I call him so much, but he comes not.Guru took him near a pond, dip his head by force in the water of pond. After sometime he
lifted his disciple's head from the water and asked: How was the feelings! Disciple replied:
My life was about to set off. Guru asked again: Do you feel same for Lord, when you will,
he will come before you.

Getting lord is not so easy. Lord or supreme soul is the light of the torch, whose partial
visualization is you. Until you feel that you cannot make a try to be the light of the torch as a
whole, and until you try to be the entire light, you cannot be like that, and until you do not be like
that, you cannot be the light as a whole. To get Lord, you need to become lord, at least lord like.
Like lord you are required to feel for everyone, understand everyone's situation without blaming
them. To do that you need to place yourself in other's position. To do that you need to know
yourself. And to know yourself you need to dedicate everything for self understanding. You need
to feel lord all the time, feel yourself everytime; feel without getting lord or knowing self life is
of no meaning. When you feel like this, and this feelings lies for lifetime and everytime, then
lord can be found, otherwise not. And in the path of this, as you move towards lord you will gain
more and more power. But be careful. Why?
Sri Krishna said Arjuna, if you see a person with at least one of the eight siddhis, then you
should know that, that person will n0t reach me.
I have said it earlier that, just like you go nearer to sea, you will listen more of its roars, when
you move nearer to the self you will gain more and more powers. Of these powers eight are
prominent. Those eight are Anima, Mahima, Garima, Laghima, Prapti, Prakamya, Istva, Vastva.
This are powers to expand body, reduce body, increase body weight or reduce body weight, be at
all places any time, know desires of all, lordship and power to subjugate all. But if any of this
powers are retained, that power will surely generate false ego. This false ego will make you so
much busy to concentrate on that power alone, that your concentration on lord will go on
deceasing, and ultimately you will loose your progress towards lord and loose him. So lord
declares that who so ever has something to expand his false ego is far away from him and until
and unless he retrieves from the false ego, he remains away from lord.
To kill others needs sword, to kill ownself, knife is enough.
The word is an absolute realistic one, without hesitation. But what does it mean! Sword here is
knowledge and knife is humbleness. Knowledge is required. In fact it is absolute necessary. It is
necessary to generate faith in truth by understanding the truth alone. But once truth is understood
and faith is generated in truth, the knowledge is purposeful. Nothing can be done then with the
knowledge except generating false ego from that knowledge. So humbleness is to be generated

of that faith, which will restrict the false ego to lead the soul towards super soul. But this
humbleness most of the time makes idols in his mind and he dedicate everything to that idol,
which is disliked by many. But our lord declares:
Like father's photo reminds of father, lords idol and image reminds of lord.
There is a story of Swamiji regarding this. Once Swamiji was invited in the palace of Kshetri.
The king of Kshetri was deeply against worship of idol. Swamiji told him to arrange a
conference for him with general people. In that conference Swamiji ordered to put down the
portrait of king on floor. The order was sustained. Then he said the subjects to spit on the
portrait, which no one did. Then swamiji explained to king, that this is just a portrait, and not the
king himself, then why did the subjects denied to spit on the potrait! Because although you are
not the portrait, but still your portrait is your resemblance. Like that father's photo reminds of
father, his words, his deeds, his suggestions, his objections. Similarly idol is the resemblance of
truth, the lord, the words of lord, the thought of lord. Truth in reality is of no shape and size, but
human mind cannot imagine that easily and so is the concept of idol, which behaves as symbol of
truth, and if lord can incarnate in human body, then why not worship him in humanic idol form!
Idol can destroy the false ego generated of knowledge as idol generates Bhakti or faith or
devotion. And why devotion?
Bhakti is female, so can go inside the house, but Gyan is male, so have to wait outside.
In a family, female is allowed to enter in the family house, because inside remains the females.
So males are not allowed inside. But females are allowed. Bhakti allows saint to enjoy the rasa or
taste of lord's love. But Gyan is only allowed to know the lord, and rest nothing. So bhakti is not
only required but necessity to taste the nectar of lord. What can bhakti do, wha gyan cannot?
Once Laxmi Narayan was sitted over Khirad Sawar. Suddenly Narayan went up and ran
towards earth, within a few seconds he came back. Laxmi was astonished in the wholematter and asked Lord: what was the matter? Why did you ran towards earth. Narayan
replied: I saw a bhakt if mine went over the cloths, the washmen left to dry off, while
taking my name in no sense. The washmen was running after him to beat him. So i was
going to save him. Laxmi replied: Then why you came back so fast? Narayan replied, I saw
the bhakt to lift up a stone to protect himself. So I came back.

This is the difference between gyan and bhakti. Gyan never teaches to devote yourself, dedicate
your everything to lord. It only teaches to know lord. Dedication comes from faith on truth, and
this dedication comes from bhakti, which enables the faith in truth. Until the faith is generated,
the dedication will not come, the belief will not be established which will always say at your ear,
whatever is happening is by the wish of lord, and lord will do what is good for all, so do not
worry, chant his name, be the observer otherwise. Only one work will be done by me, and that is
chanting lord's name, all others are his wish. When this renunction comes, then only lord is
attained, otherwise lord if comes infront, then also you will analyze is this lord or not.
He who have lost his mind is a saint.
This is a deadline for those who are seeking guru. No saint can be guru. Saint is not only that one
who takes ganja and sits naked. He is a saint, who has lost everything to lord. Lord is the
summation of all. So until one looses everything to him, he has got some separate entity, but who
has nothing to show as a separate entity is lord himself and he alone is a guru. So, my friends,
who are seeking guru search for the saint. He can be anywhere, in any profession, but has given
up everything to lord. He cannot think anything except lord, he cannot imagine anything except
lord, he cannot say anything except lord, he is a sadhu, he is a saint, he is a guru.
When candle is lightened insect naturally comes.
This is a quote for the person, who have devel0ped the self. By knowledge, the self has been
developed. They have learnt the truth, and how to be on the chariot of truth, how to survive in the
society without moving away from truth, how to be in truth and do not be affected by ripus. They
learnt from which ripu, to be most careful, and how to be. But this is just the start and not the
end. The soul is not illuminated here, so it is not the time to be guru. If you be a guru now, you
have to search for your disciple. But when actual time comes to be a guru, the light of soul
becomes so prominent that the insects or bhakta disciples will naturally come. So wait and do the
necessary to enlighten your soul, then you will turn to guru. Thats it. Try to adapt these
undiscovered new self.

Adapt the Self
The self has been developed now, and it is now as distinct to the intellect as sun to earth. But the sun has
no value if it doesn't provide light and heat to earth. For that, the sun has to adapted to the earth's
environment. Likewise the self is also to be adapted to the environment around it, and for that, there
should be necessary changes at the intellect. Thakur has greatly sketched the progression of life towards
development of self, adaption of that self in life so that the life itself becomes of the self's'. His adaption
techniques include eight distinct features:
Nature or environment where to adapt
The time when to adapt
The skeleton of the environment and time to adapt
The knowledge to work for the process of adaptation.
The result of the work that has to be done
The golden rules for the adaptation
The cautions to be adapted
Great FAQs helpful to adapt

bath. They went there and had their bath and in tide, they were covered by river water, but they

This all are about the environment where the intellect has to adapt, to. make the self awaken and be
developed. Camel here is the general mass, who remaining in the family gains sorrow every time, but still
cannot think beyond that. They if kept in a vessel of paddy, i.e. in a sorrowless place, they die on spot.
Where there is joy, there is sorrow, because sorrow is just the synonyms of joy. Sorrow and joy are like
low tide and high tide respectively. When on earth there is low tide, there must be high tide elsewhere,
and where high tide fills, low tide is sure to hit, and sure to make the filled basins empty and scanty of
water. Likewise, someone is enjoying joy, means someone is enjoying sorrow, and that someone who is
enjoying joy is sure to face the sorrow. This is the thumb rule of the earthly life. So the best way or rather
the only way to get rid of sorrow is to neglect the joy. If you not feel the joy to get or possess a particular
thing, then you will not feel sorrow for dispossessing that object. If you neglect the feeling of joy for
having a son, then you definitely will not feel the sorrow for loosing that son. Likewise if you donot feel
the joy for your belongings, may be your property or fame, then you will not be sorrow to loose those
possessions. So the only way to make yourself out of the reach of sorrow is to stay away from the feelings
of joy. But these general mass who has not this knowledge or not having the guts to leave the feelings of
joy, gets tremendously hurt of the sorrows from those joy, and thus they fear the sorrows. But if they are
kept in such condition or rather mental condition that they will neither enjoy jor nor sorrow, they just by
thinking or from their inability of such thinking will die instantly. And this is the illusion of Mahamaya,
the lord of illusion. We by ouself get into a trap, we can easily make ourself out, but we cannot even think
of making ourself out, because even by dying we are unable to understand that we have created a trap for
ourselves. We can easily get rid of sorrow, by not accepting the joy, but we can never think that the
source of sorrow is joy, even if we understand we cannot accept it, even if we accept it we cannot
overlook the luxury of joy, and ultimately we go on running after joy and the sorrow rushes after us, the
fact is we cannot catch the joy, after which we are running, but the one, the sorrow which is running after
us always catch hold of us like the crane catches the fishes, by not even providing trick for them. But we
had followed the same track, we are following the same track and we will be following the same track for
ever. This is the magic of illussion and this is the environment in which we have to adapt, so be very
careful, a single mistake and illusion is waiting to divert you away from the self, because once you be the
self, illusion is illusiohned of you or by you. Family men are like vultures. The fly high in the air, but
their vision is on lust and money. They find those people to be on higher edge than them, who enjoys
more lust than them, or who has more money than them, be himself sitted on as big chair as prime
minister of a nation. Be careful of this nature, because eye on lust and money means you are diluting your
self at the hand of goddess of illusion. They only understand book and newspaper.They have no respect

for realistic fact, and truth is the best false to them. You tell them the truth, they will mock at you. So do
not try to tell them or make them understand the truth directly. Until you reach the truth or be the self, just
say that much that will protect you of your effort or work to be the self. And do never take their words
blindly. You must know that only that person who had been the self says every word correctly, and all
other says a maximum of 60 percent correct words. And these book superstitious or science superstitious
men can never say anything containing more than 30 percent truth. You must know that most of this
people who lives in lust and money has no power at all to build you or destroy you as self. Their powers
were with them until they entered lust and money at their heart. Those who doesn't care lust and money
are those who can build, shape or destroy yourself. So respect them, fear them, love them.
Once Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati when sitted at Kailash, a sound of bomb blasting came. Parvati

that sound for. Lord said, ravana dies.

Once at forest, a man saw a sadhak sitted on his asana and praying for Bhagabati. While he was
watching, he saw a tiger coming. Looking at this, he climbed upa near by tree. The tiger came and
killed and took away the sadhaka. After that, he came down from the tree and sat where the
sadhaka was sitted and prayed for bhagabati. As soon as he prayed, bhagabati came before him a
and wished to give him a boon. He asked Bhagabati, how miracle is this! That sadhaka was praying
for so long and left away his life praying, but you didn't gave your sight to him, but I sat here for
few minutes and you came here to give sight to me! Bhagabati answered, you are looking at what
you are seeing with the eyes you have got at your this birth, but I am looking at the mind of yours,
which is praying for several births to view me.
The general mass is also like this. They try to find out the world as they are finding with the eyes they
have got in this life, in this body. But they didn't know or understand what they have done through out

their life. One body to the frame of time is like two bomb blasts of Ravana's birth and death. So to
understand and adapt with the self your mind and intellect have to understand this fact, that not to go by
the vision of the senses, but do the work in the way directed by the Lord, so that the goal of life can be
reached or you can be the self alone.

A person wants to meet King. To reach King, seven halls are to be crossed. Crossing one hall, the
person is asking everyone, have you seen king!
Familymen always runs for more and more possessions. But this possession is the reason for their grief,
because this possession pulls all other people who seeks possession after him, just as the kite pulls the
crows behind it for its possession. As soon as it throws off its possession, crows leaves its back.
Familymen, when leaves of their thought of possession gets freed from other people.But either they do
not understand this fact, or do not want to understand this fact. But a self developer must have to
understand and practice to forget the possession, because without practice nothing can be done. Nobody
has learnt to write english instantly. Nobody has the capacity to learn music instantly, everything requires
practice. To take the name of lord also needs practice. A self developer must not forget for a single
moment that they are the universe itself when they have turned to the Self, otherwise they are as tiny as
bubbles in the ocean and their possession is for the time till the bubble bursts. So why running after more
and more possessions? Let those who has not developed within them the wish to be the self make more
and more possessions. Because one who knows the taste of meat, who has eaten meat, who wished to
have more and more and more of that meat can only leave the habit of having meat. A king can leave his
possessions, a begger cannot, because he has not the possession. He who seeks more possessions is a
begger. He who thinks that he has got enough possessions and need not have more is the king. When
someone thinks like king, then he can think of leaving those possessions. His heart then cries for lord, for
the self, for the truth, till that time no question of crying for lord. So never try to humiliate a person whose
heart doesn't cry for lord, never try to make a person who is running desperately to have more possessions
out off that run, because taht will not help him, infact will hurt him, since his time is to get more pleasure
from the material world then. Once his need of pleasure is full filled, he will think him as king and he will
think of leaving all his possessions and his heart will then cry naturally for lord. Do never so try to
humiliate such people for they are like that. You must know that at one time you were like them only, so
they are your past. Let them criticize you, because they are novice as human, in humanity. Be careful in
your every work you do at this time, as all of them are counted. Like you are sure to feel chilled if you
have chilly, you are sure to get the results pof the work you do. No one can get rid of that. Lord Sri
Krishna proved by his life that even a Self is not out of that, only thing is that they only do work and
never think of the results of those. You are here to work and work alone, so whatever may be your wish to
be, whether that may be becoming the Self itself, but you cannot get rid of doing work, and not even get

rid of the result of those works. If you have not to think of the results of the work, if you have to continue
doing works then why keeping track on the work done! Because, mind is like the cloth, dipped in
whatever colour, takes the colour of that. So if you do not keep track on your work and your attachment
towards the results regularily, then your mind will be thinking of something, and you will be thinking that
your mind thinking about something other. But for be in the process of being the self, two basic things are
to be followed. Firstly, you need to be desperate in the path. If you be like the familymen, then you will
have no desperacy, and without desperacy every other thing in the universe may be achieved but never the
lord. And secondly patience. Never be eager to get lord the day you start your sadhan. If you be impatient
and get to know whether I can get lord today or not, you will generate a confusion in your mind that,
whether lord is achievable or not, and once you have this confusion in your mind, being self itself would
be the biggest question in the universe for you. So go slowly but steadily, because this path is walking
over a rope between two high peaks, you slip you are lost.
A needle when covered with mud, magnet cannot pull it. If the mud is washed off, magnet pulls

If you want to meet lord by staying within family, be like an ant, who takes out the sugar out of the
mixture of sugar and sand, be like the duck, who takes out the milk out of the mixture of milk and
water, be like the lotus, grows in dirty pond but remains fresh always.

Our soul is like the needle and the Supersoul or the Self is the magnet, mud is the different ripus over
mind. Untill the soul is cleaned of the mud or the ripus, the soul cannot become the self. So the first and
foremost thing you have to do to become the self is to wash off the ripus. But the ripus cannot be
identified by reading books alone. Books will refer the ripus, but you have to understand those by proper
analyzation through the deeds of your life only. Then only you can identify those and then is to make your
soul out of those ripus. But during this proces while undergoing, you have to remain in the family. So
how to make out your path to make the process of cleaning the mud smooth and without any disturbance.
Thakur has marked the path. Be like an ant or lotus or duck. Take the required thingh out and leave the

very few, whom the illusion or ripus cannot touch even, but most of them think that those ripus and
senses are their best friend, without them human have no life in them, few understanding all these tries to
make their way out, like you people and among those few makes their way out. But it is wrong to think
that we can do nothing as lord is the only doer. Urna-nabhi is the spider and its web. Lord has created the
universe as a spider creates the web, and lord remains there, as the spider does. So it is not that you are
nothing, infact you are everything. You are the spider and you are the web. If you don't want to accept it
for the purpose of ceasing the growth of false ego, then you are the web at least. You have the area of
ploughing as a cow has. Until the rope knotted at your neck is pulled, it is your responsibility, and what
you have to do is within that field. So you try, you can never come out without a spot out of this
illusionary room of material world. So do not think of making yourself clean but focus on coming out of
that room, then only you will succeed. When will you go in that area where lord alone is the doer. It is
theb world of bhakti. And you can only enter there by following your work. You go on working and
praying of lord. When the time will come you will certainly understand that the flower is to fall, i.e. your
work is ceasing and its the time for the fruits or the bhakti to awake.But while pursuing your work, you
have to be very careful about few things, if not you will be lost for ever.
Who thinks that he himself is the only doer, lord never comes to him.
Lord cannot be viewed because of the cover of false ego.

shouting at him to move away. But the disciple didn't listened at him. Tje elephant threw him away
with its trunk. Guru with his other disciple treated him. When his sense came back, Guru asked

him about what happened. Listenening to the total story, guru asked why did he not gone away
from the path of the elephant. The disciple replied, lord is in everybody, so I tried to worship the
elephant. Then guru remarked, then why did you not listened to the Mahut, lord is also within him.
A precious stone is to be sold. Lord says his minister to take that to a benjamin seller. The seller

doer. Human who in their working phase thinks themselves to be the only doer, or in the bhakti phase
thinks himself to be a doer, then nothing except false ego is generated and false ego covers the self to the
intellect. False ego is that curtain over intellect, that restrains the intellect to feel or understand the
universalhood, which ultimately runs again after material thoughts and thus remains consigned within the
pot of lust and gold, beacause this two are the governing objects of the material world. But the governing
subject is time, which is the left hand of Lord. So if you stop thinking yourself to be the doer, your
governor object or subject both are time or lord, and so the path towards self becomes widened with
garbage on the road removed. This false ego is a very dynamic hero in the material world. It washes out,
still comes back. One title from the materialistic society pulls back the false ego. It will make you feel
doer. And ultimately will imprison your intellect in the prison of lust and gold. So, whatever title comes
to you, show a view to that, as if you do not require it and also you will not utilize the power of that title.
If you succeed to do so, the demonic hero or false ego is won by you and you are ten step ahead to be self.
Lord is in all, sun is there at the same sky, but cloud is not same everywhere. Somewhere its so cloudy
that the sun cannot be seen at all, where as som where the sun is now seen and at the next time covered by
cloud, again somewhere the sky is clear, and the sun is absolutely prominent through out the day. You
have to be focussed at the sun, then the sun will make you understand where it is cloudy and where not.
Lord is in all but most prominent where there is no cloud to cover over it. Lord is more prominent in
human than any other creature, among human he is most prominent in the self devoloping beings. So you
do not need to check everyone, rather be focussed at the self, the exposure of the self will make you
understand whom to trust the most. Not everyone has the ability to signify the perfect, so you need not

have to know everything, but the perfect one, who knows everything, and who can let you know
everything. You are only required to devote your everything to that perfect, and the perfect will make you
perfect. But for that you have to have the basic knowledge about the perfect, and that is the golden rule of
the adaptation process, because without that the perfection is not possible.
Eyesight, light and mind. all the three is required to observe something.
What are the components of a fruit? Its coat, flesh and seed. What do we eat, the flesh only. If the

A farmer had no son. After long time he had got a son. Once while he was working at the field,
someone reported him that his son died. He did all his work and then went back home. He didn't
cry, not even any sorrow was seen on his face. His wife griefed at him, you didn't love your son,
then why don't you have any grief. He replied, I dreamt of 12 sons, who died in my dream, now you
say, for whom I will grief for my 12 sons or your single son.
Boy says mother, please wake me up when I would like to have toilet, mother replied, my son toilet
will wake you up.
A devoted materialistic person's want at material, a devoted wife's want of her husband and a
sincere mother's care at her son, three wants when unitedly been forwarded to lord, lord can be
viewed.
These are the golden rules for the self to be glowing. We while following the rigorous process of
analyzation, feel that the universe is a dream and it has no existance in reality. But we forget that the
dream is dreamt by the self, and not by the illution diverted self. We decide the universe to be my dream
at a time when it is not my dream. Yes the universe is dream dreamt by the self but its not us individually.
So till we do not be the self, the universe is not the dream, but not the truth completely, that is it is partial
truth. But never think that you are dependent. That will make you feel dependent for ever. Then you will
say, it is very uncanny situation. If we feel dependent, we will remain dependent for ever, if we think we
are independent, that will generate false ego in us! Then what to do! Feel yourself dependent not of the
society, but of lord. Then neither your false ego will generate nor your dependence to the society will
succeed. But never ever think that lord is not coming, so there is no lord. Because faith once lost will
never come back. The world is truth in the cover of less truth. If you go by the cover, you will be lost in it.
But if you want the necter you have to penetrate the cover. Who have penetrated the cover remains silent
and he silently narrates the under cover truth, but who has not shouts about the cover only. So beware of
them. Who has been the self knows practicaly that this world is a dream, and carries out the dream, but
who has not shouts that these all are dream, do not think even of it. When the time will come, the results
will come out. Nothing happens before that, expect of lord and lord alone, do the rest thing, but be eager
for lord alone. To get lord, to be self needs huge desperacy. Its not even the attachment of mother to son
alone, not even wife to husband and even not of a greedy to gold, but all those put together. S you need to

be caring of lord, at the same time ready to loose yourself for lord and at the same time greedy for lord's
view and his touch and living with him/her. Then and then only you can get him/her, otherwise not.
General human when becomes guru by his own wish is like, a blind showing path to another blind.
Until Lord orders to peach and teach, doing such generates false ego.
General human without proper knowledge and heartily attachment to lord also do sadhana. But
they are like housefly. They sit on sweets, dungs, foods and everywhere. Who has jeartily
attachment to lord is like a Honey bee, who takes only necter of flowers.
Renunction is of three types:
Getting disturbed of family, thus leaving family, this is a matter of few days.
Cannot succeed in any of the carrier, and thus becomes guru and earn money, fame and rests
Sitting and crying for lord of no reason, the real renunction.
A teacher who has no heartily attachment to lord, is not a teacher.
There are few classes of sadhaks,
Prabartak: Who applies tika, wears garland
Sadhaka: Who is desperate, and knows nothing except sadhana.
Siddha: Who has enough knowledge of truth and then dedicated for truth.
Siddha of Siddhas: Who has unlimited knowledge of truth, resides in truth itself and then is a guru.

A saint wrote a prayer of Lord shiva, he wished to make his lord listen to the prayer by his own
voice. He with such intention was going to Kailash. In the road he met with Shiv-bhakt Nandi, the
ox. When he was asked about his destination, Nandi asked to listen his prayer. The saint narrated,
listenening to which Nandi laughed with pleasure, with his teeth making out. The saint saw his
prayer in his teeth, with many others, which are still not been written. He understood his false ego,
became ashamed and came back.
A person had the habit of tobacco. He used to light the tobacco from his opposite neighbour. One
day, he wished to have tobacco, but that was late night. So, he lighted a lamp and with tobacco in

your other hand, then why here, my friend. He understood the fact and went away.
Narendra, Rakhal all are Nitya Jiba. If you say that they are born out of general sperm, then you

birth, but by his ability alone, which he is developing from lifes after lifes.
Here are few warnings or cautions for the self developers. They should know that most of the preachers
are preachers by their own wish and not lords. But without Lords order nobody can be a preacher. Who
has not viewed, not been the self, how can he/she guide somebody to become the self. If he/she does so,
that is like a blind showing path to another blind. Self Developers so must never go to preach, before
reaching lord by pretending to be a guru because that will give you nothing except false ego, and that
false ego will kill your developments, and not also make those people guru, who had not reach the self,
but pretending to be a Yog Guru or the supreme of any stream of religion. The minimum qualification to
be a supreme head or top level experts in any stream of religion is to be or meet the self, and who has
done so, his/her childish nature and deep thoughtful words out of that childishness is the resemblance.
You must also understand by now, that those who have reached the self or about to reach there, can tell
nothing except truth, in fact they are hard core practical, and so much practical that the world is
astonished at them. This is another feature observing which; you can keep yourself on track. You may
find many people walking wearing dresses of a sadhu, but you should know that wearing a dress of a
sadhu doesnt make a person sadhu. Who has got heartily attachment towards lord is a sadhu. There are
many other who has been burnt of the flame of familiar chaos and has worn the dress of sadhu, with an

intention to leave home. But their heartily attachment is at home or family only and they will return home
in few days. There are also some who wants to be a sadhu by profession by not getting any other
profession by his choice, and you can easily identify them. They are usually prabartak, and always try to
proof themselves to be sadhu or like that and they always try to give a boon or curse and try to establish
his power. But you by now know that having one of the asta siddhis referes to a non-self-dwelling person.
Can such a person be sadhu. Sadhu is a calm, cool, practical and a soft hearted person, who does not
easily get joy or sorrow, whose fear, anger, cold, false ego and all other ripus are under control. He knows
firmly that, he is a chanter of the words of time, and nothing more. He and nobody can create anything
before time. The first creator is Time and we are the explorers only. They know that tirtha or the sacred
place is our soul alone, until we find it we go here and there and search for it. They not even ask your
birth to know who you are. They finds out your exposure to self, to adjudge where you are standing in
your life, because they know the truth, they know the process of changing the bodily cloth by the soul,
they know clearly that Goal of Life is to Be the Self.

A kitten only calls his mother. Wherever his mother keeps him, he remains there.
Complexity makes the work of incarnation smoother.
Tides are more prominent when you go nearer to the sea by the river.
We always think that who is leaving the family for becoming a saint is influenced by renunction. Here is a
different concept of that. Who is in family is influenced by renunction, because, the nector of the lord
fried by illussion is before them, and just as the rats remains busy eating the puffed paddy, forgetting all
about the store of paddy, the family men, or the general mass whatever you call them, who thinks that
taking birth is to die and they remain busy in different activities to remain forgetful about the fear of
death, forgets all about the nector of lord and make them busy in the least of the nector fried by illusion.
The saints are those, who not reamains satisfied with that small amout of nector and they go for that
eternal, never-ending, nector. So Thakur remains absolutely correct as he is while saying that real seekers
are the saints and not the family men. So it is your turn now to decide whether you are happy in less, or
you want more. And talking about sin, if you believe in it, you cannot get rid of it. Whatever you do,
whether that is sin or not, you have to face its result. In fact if there would have been a process to get rid
of the fruits of work, that would have been the worst process in the world, because no results means no
experiance, and no experience means no knowledge and no knowledge means no improvement or
development, and no development means no movement and no movement means no life. Whatever we
think or believe to get rid of sin is all rubbish, as it is not possible, never possible and our Lord has also
referred to that. But nothing can happen before time. How much we say, how much we expect nothing
happens before time, and not only that, that happening is even cannot be initiated by someone. Time alone
is the influencer, initiator and the doer. So wait for the time to initiate and be prepared to accept the
consequences.
The super initiation starts and shapes up at the initiation of the dearest son of the time called incarnation.
At that time, there remains no particular process to develop the self, as there a rigorous self-development
process starts. You can understand that, if you try to understand the examination condition. At school,
there is the process of education undergoing, but that process becomes rigorous at the time of

examination, because everyone remains washing up their education at that time. An idol here is the self.
The mould is the body. Thakur says that only. When the self is developed and the person becomes the self
only, the body then can be thrown away or lapsed. Before that suicide is nothing except an work of a
coward, where the body is only left coming under the full control of emotion that is illussion. They again
and again have to take bodies and get the same results, to get relief of which he commits suicide. Only a
person who has become the self, has no fruits to enjoy and so he doesn't require a body to enjoy those. So
he can easily leave the body. He, who is devoted in the self do not grief or makes sorrow for their own
condition. They, whatever condition is faced remains happy in lord and if they face something they
cannot tolerate, they only call lord and leave the rests on lord. More you go nearer and nearer to lord,
more you find the world pleasant and gayful for living. And if you ask why so much complexity in the
work of incarnation, then listen, before incarnations incarnate the climax becomes such that, all the evil
deeds are put under someone, and the incarnation deals with that one.
By now you have understood what is the adaptation of self, the process to adapt the intelligence in the
society, so that the self development process remains discontinued. Now is the time to become the self, by
breaking the sackles of all social discrepancies.
Be the SelfWe by now have known to adapth the intelligence in the society to make the procedure of being the self
enhance. Ultimately it has been the time to be the self. To be the self, there are four steps.
To know the nature of lord or self
To clear the confusions in the mind of Self developers or Bhakt.

They went near the tree all along and saw the creature in brown complexion. They saw a person

own, wherever it resides, it takes that colour only.

We often say that why is lord not indifferent. Why lord is different to different, differentiation prooves
there is no lord. The answer is there. Whatever is suited by whoever, lord prescribes that for that person.
Not everybodies intelligence is same, not everybodies location in the jivan chakra is same. Then how can
everybody be treated indifferently, rather everybody should be treated differently, unlile democracy and
that is the rule of lord.
Basically, there is no differnce between supersoul and soul except the curtain of illusion between them.
