Fear and desire bind you to the mind. Desire for a certain result and fear that it will not be obtained. This creates the destiny and forces you into a particular behavior. He is patient. He permits us to call him evil, make wars in His name. He is also suffering. Only He is perfect. The mind is His creation for His play. It is subject to the law of Karma. He is the law of Karma itself, which permits all things in the realm of appearance to take place.
To act without fear and desire, not bound by the action, this sounds as if without love, without feeling. It is not so. Only then does all work become equal and self-importance is gone.
What is good to you today may be bad tomorrow. This Highest Truth is your duty. That is to love Him no matter what. Worldly duties are many, you may be a father, a son, a teacher, do these to the best of your ability. He is always with you. Don’t judge others and try to understand their duty. No one, no thing, can be separated, this is Relativity. I am with you always.
“The Lord is everywhere And always perfect,
What does He care for man’s evil Or man’s righteousness.”
Do not try to analyze and dissect Truth. Mind is limited and cannot realize Truth through the intellect. Dissection is destruction. Call it what you may, Energy, Atoms, Space, Cosmic Force, Light, Vibration. It is all He.
It is not where the thought comes from, we should know; we should know who the thinker is. Remember, if you are not satisfied with the effect, the reaction in your life; don’t change the cause or the action. Instead take His name. Say Ram-Ram and go on with your work. No positive thinking, no negative thinking. Think of Him, listen to His Mahanam. Try not to understand, just do it. When you see a child drowning, do you stop and think, my clothes will get wet, perhaps I will drown, and maybe the water is cold? No, you jump in and try to save that which is even more precious than your own life.
He, without hands, holds all things and does all the work;
He, without eyes, sees all things;
He, without ears, hears all things;
He without mind knows all things;
But, no one knows Him
Save, by His Grace.
This Truth you seek cannot be accomplished. Through self-centered
techniques. These will keep you in the darkness. My pleasure, my realization, my
spirituality, my, my ,my, Oh my, Oh my, …. When will you come out of the
darkness of the mine, of the mind? You ask Dadaji for an answer, when you don’t
know the question. Dadaji doesn’t answer, at least to your satisfaction. It was
not a valid question. A loving person is the Highest Creation of God; Love and
patience are the only answer.
Meditation, what do you mean by that? Meditation today is itself against His Will. It is a constant wrestling with a denial of His Creation.
The nature of the mind is restless. Like the ocean, it’s tides and waves. You want to make it a still lake. In its natural way the mind helps to live life, do our duty and remember Him, not by sitting in holy clothes, chanting, trying to be holy, when actually you are full of ego. You will become religiously overweight.
Trying to still the mind for what purpose? Can you stop the waves from crashing on the shore, by yelling at them, or by throwing yourself into them or by being drowned by them?
No, life is a meditation itself, not some technique of communication with Him or with your Self. He is always in communion with you.
Who denies Him, denies themselves. Who affirm Him, affirm themselves.
Do not be concerned for those who do not believe in Truth. Truth believes in them.
A few messengers of Truth have taken human form. You bow down before the messenger and forget the message: instead you should bow down before the message of Truth, not a person.
At the time of birth, Guru accompanies with the body. Mahanam itself is the Guru. Your Father is Satyanarayan (Truth, as the Holder of the Creation). If I am Guru, then everybody is also Guru. Dadaji never claims to be Guru. When the vital spirit (Pran) leaves the body, it means the Guru, the Mahanam, separates from it. The mind then remains with Mahanam until they together take another body. It would not be possible to do your duty in the new form if you remembered the past life experiences. You would be confused. So, by His Grace, that is all blocked out, except for sometimes a strong feeling for a place or a person that you cannot explain with the mind.
Once aware of the Spirit, when you know Him, when the mind and heart are one in Him, all births will be a life of self-sacrifice.
What do I mean by self-sacrifice? Not giving up things of feeding people or being a missionary, not suffering for others and becoming a saint.
It means finally to understand that the life of the body is not the only life. The life of the earth is not the only life. There is a higher life hidden within us.
Then you are free, that’s what is meant by being born again, into immortality.
That is self-sacrifice, going from the selfish to the unselfish. It means that life is no longer confined to your personal needs alone, but finds the infinite soul of the Atman, the Spirit, in all. It also means you can never accept nor do you crave power, position, wealth, name or fame in the name of God. Dadaji is offered all these, but what is the need.
To give up comforts, to dent and renounce the world is not sacrifice. That is giving up by mind, for a selfish purpose. There is no value in this.
The Universe was created in Sacrifice. He gave Himself so that you could be.
This is the creation. Dadaji has no choice but to sacrifice his personal comforts for the purpose of Truth. Those only who sacrifice all ownership can know Him. He, who holds you so dearly in Love, is always joyous even in what appears to be worldly suffering and death.
