Mind and the feeling of attachment “this is my family” are necessary to do your duty, to complete your work, your Karma. Doing your duty, work itself is devotion.
This bodily life is the most important time to come to Truth. Only in this life can
you know Truth and Love. Eventually all must eat the fruit to know its taste. This is
His Will.
What is the Absolute, Dadaji? Dadaji is silent, then speaks, Absolute is silence, but silence does not mean being quiet or without sound. The Absolute is not this not that, also at the same time, Absolute is this and also that.
Absolute is both neti neti (not that-not that) and Tat Tvam Asi (That, Thou, Art).
Absolute is the Light of Lights from which the sun, the lightning, the fire take
illumination.11
Absolute is even beyond being and non-being. It is to be and not to be; It is
invisible and can’t be seen. It is also visible. It is near. It is far. At the same time,
It is moving and not moving. The lightest, the darkest, the Absolute is vision and
the end of vision.
Dadaji is asking you, was Jesus and Krishna and all those you call masters, mad or interested in becoming rich and having organizations? If you think so, then there is no reason to go further. If they were not mad then what were they saying and how does it apply in your life? You must ask yourself, “am I satisfied with my life or am I unhappy enough to want it to change? Then what is it that I want to change?” Is the problem that life is not the way you think it should be?
If it becomes changed, will you feel joy then?
Both joy and pleasure are attractive. The path of joy is permanent and there are few, if any more whys in your mind. The path of pleasure is fleeting, never satisfied and full of whys. It is not for the wise.
Remember, not all the poor and uneducated are miserable or unhappy with their lot in life. They may be the richest in Love and Truth. Also, remember that all of the rich and educated are not miserable or unhappy with their lot in life. If you feel something for what Dadaji has revealed in you, trust what He prescribes as the remedy for all your ailments. If it doesn't work after some time, you can try to forget Him. He will never forget you. Above all be patient. Destiny must be borne with patience born in His remembrance.
What is the story of Bhagavad Gita? Does anyone know? It is not a story.
The blind king is not a king, Kurukshetra is not a place. The war is not a war. War was fought differently in those days. The rules were not as today. A soldier on an elephant could not attack a foot soldier. No man could be attacked while running away. No one could be killed who had lost his weapons. Armies stopped fighting at night and even visited each other’s camps.
Let us see, what is meant. Two armies related by blood are at war. The Higher Power Krishna is driving the chariot and has said He will not fight, but says “I will accompany you.” Arjuna, the warrior says “drive me to the middle of the battlefield, so I can see both sides of the picture.” Then he says “my God, am I about to kill those I love so dearly.” He exclaims “I will not fight” and throws down his weapon.
Then Krishna, the guide, the God of Truth, explains about this problem and all other problems of life. He tells of the meaning of life, its purpose on earth, how one must do their duty and what the conclusion must be. After this, Arjuna has changed his mind, he is ready to fight and the battle begins. This is not a battle, but the Highest Truth.
Arjuna is warrior by birth and profession; it is his duty to fight. So today the Hare Krishna people are arming themselves, saying Krishna told us, we must fight.
They are fools. What is Arjuna fighting? At first he wants he wants to do his duty, and then he is confused and sees the horror.
Finally Krishna tells that you are always fighting against the mind and senses which separate you from Me. That is the relative, what you are related to and consider yours. The only Reality is the Indwelling Godhead. This body is simply an appearance. Its birth, death are an illusion. Any talk at killing or being killed is meaningless. All that can be killed is ignorance. Some so called Gurus have taken guns these days. Did Jesus or Nanak carry guns? Does Truth need defending?
Some say this Atman (Indwelling God) is slain, and others call It the slayer.
They know nothing.
How can It slay or who shall slay It?
You must do your duty as it has been assigned to you to come fully to Him. It can be done as a warrior, a scientist, a laborer. When you are touched by the Oneness, you will be released from the delusion of I am the doer. Know Thy self and you will know the One.
