1956-1990

(1) The Supreme Spirit within humanity, neglected for ages, has awakened today. This awakening will initiate a new chapter in human history. You will all be the pioneers of the new trend.

1 January 1956

(2) A sádhaka is verily a soldier. The pricks of thorns on the difficult path signify one’s progress. The collective welfare of the universe is the crowning glory of one’s victory.

Ánanda Púrńimá 1956

The subject of today’s discourse is “Spirituality and This Panoramic Universe.” This panoramic universe is something circum-rotarian, rotating around its own nucleus, and the nucleus, the hub of our universe is also moving, but without change in space. When there is no change in space, then how can there be movement? There can be movement without change in space if everything lies within.

And the nucleus has three expressions, that is, the nucleus controls trifarious...

The Supreme Functional Entity(1) carries on its work according to a particular system, and this system is what we call “nature”. The system follows a general stream, but in some cases, in the path of its movement, some abnormality is expressed, although not much. However, this abnormality is not beyond the rule of nature either. It is also an accepted law of nature; that is, it is also natural. No one will ever consider any...

We have come again to Anandanagar after a long time. Anandanagar is the nucleus of this universe. It is not merely the physical Anandanagar, it is also the Anandanagar of our inner heart. We will have to build it in all possible ways, we will have to take all steps for its rapid development so that it can show light to the entire universe.

But why should this be done so rapidly? Because human beings...

Shreyán svadharmo viguńah paradharmatsvásvanuśtitát Svadharme nidhanaḿ shreyah paradharmo bhayávahah. Human beings should die a glorious death, a death worthy of a human being. They should never give indulgence to the crude animal propensities. “Svadharme nidhanaḿ shreyah”. It is better to die a glorious death than to continue living a life of carnal pleasure. “Paradharmo bhayávahah.” It is dangerous to follow the characteristics which are only fit for non-humans. Here paradharma means that type of dharma...

A Devotee’s Object of Ideation 19 November 1978 DMC, New Delhi

The subject of today’s discourse is “A Devotee’s Object of Ideation.” Is it a personal entity or an impersonal entity? An impersonal entity is only a philosophical concept. A wise person comprehends or deduces with philosophical knowledge that there is such an impersonal entity. In the case of an impersonal entity, it is difficult to find out its nucleus; and in the absence of...

The God of Human Beings 23 June 1968 DMC, Manila

The yogi says there is hardly any difference between the terms “God” and “bliss”. It is just like two names, “water” and agua, used for the same entity. The yogi says, “What is God? He is bliss. He is ánanda.” And the functional side of this Supreme Father is, everything cometh from Him and goeth back to that Supreme Entity. And what is that Supreme...

Brahma Cakra 9 December 1964, Salem

Now, the subject of our discourse will be “Brahma Cakra”.

Everywhere in this observable universe we find that there is a system. The mighty Himalayas follow a particular system. The wee bit of material expression also follows a particular system. Everywhere there is a system, there is an order. Nothing can be done in a disordered way.

The smallest article that can be seen by the human intellect, if...

The underlying spirit of the word vicára [“justice” in English] is “a particular type of mental process to ascertain the truth”. Although human actions depend on relative principles, whatever appears to be the truth in this relative world, within society, is justice. The greatest benefit of the proper application of justice is that in the struggle between progressive and regressive forces, between good and evil, which is a permanent feature of society, the human intellect...

For the existence of human beings in society the following fundamental factors are necessary – unity, social security and peace. What is actually required under each of these fundamental factors is discussed below.

Unity among the members of any society or social structure is absolutely necessary, otherwise the structure will start disintegrating. Lack of unity among the members of society because of too much self-interest in the individual members, the formation of groups for economic...

INTRODUCTION Morality is the foundation of Sádhaná (spiritual practice). It must, however, be remembered that morality or good conduct is not the culminating point of the spiritual march. As a moralist one may set an ideal for other moralists, but to do this is not something worth mentioning for a Sádhaka (spiritual aspirant). Sádhaná, in its very start, requires mental equilibrium. This sort of mental harmony may also be termed as morality. People often say,...

Today’s discussion will be on “Vibration, Form and Colour”. Vibration From where does vibration come? Whenever an action takes place, its character is established by the nature of its waves and these waves are but vibrations, flowing through different channels. The relative transposition of objects is what we call action. And this is why every action has vibrations due to its movement. Just as action is of many varieties, so is vibration. Every action has...
