[Part
Seven] It
is better to avoid looking into the eyes of others and this includes
animals. I
understand you mean by the presence of pets like cats or dogs presence in the
room during meditations. If so there is
no harm provided these do not disturb you to be there during meditations. Please
do not grieve over your inability to be more receptive to the divine grace.
Slow but steady wins the race. Fragrant flowers are fashioned into fairness
delicately under Divine Will. Your sense of deep gratitude and overwhelming joy
for the gracious protections shall unfold to you several hidden mysteries of
life to benefit from, them. You are so dear to me and I wish you more of
spiritual and all-round progress. I
appreciate your loving devotion and implore for the rare boon of faith. Faith
evolves in sincere, pure and humble hearts. A life full of dedication and
complete self surrender invokes divine grace. You must not brood aver the past
and always look ahead with eager
expectations for successful holy meditations. Every day brings in novel vistas
of divine glory when you can benefit from the ever present gracious protection
of the Master Power. A well poised mental equilibrium will bless you with
untold peace and harmony to face the worldly affairs with a new look full of
right understanding. I
have noted about your loving attitude towards dear _____. Any time you feel
overtaken with unloving thoughts towards anybody, you should resort to the
Simran of names and think of the Master. You should develop the Christlike
attitude. Your
deep gratitude for enjoying the constant presence of the Master Power is
appreciated. The faithful, obedient and disciplined are blessed with such like
rare boons of celestial order. You will be blessed still more in due course. A
keen desire to improve
spiritually coupled with earnest efforts bring in radical change in the thought
pattern of the initiate and the entire life undergoes change for the better.
You should be more steady, humble and polite
in your dealings. It
does not matter if your time schedule is limited yet the inner loving devotion
and outer right mode of living will bless you with untold peace and harmony.
You must not be sceptic about your inner progress as it is beyond the ken of
human comprehension to gauge the inner growth. The divine love of the Master is
just like a spark of flame which reduces everything to ashes in good time. Your
deep gratitude for enjoying gracious protection in all spheres of your life is
appreciated. The
trials and tribulations of this earth life are simply passing phases and as
such should be met with cheerfully. The failures and shortcomings in your
behaviour should be weeded out gradually by inculcating opposite ennobling
virtues. You should learn to do everything in the name of the Master which will
serve as a soothing balm over your lacerated heart. Be kind, compassionate and
generous in your behaviour with others. You will be able to find goodness in
all around you and such an understanding will fill your heart with ineffable
bliss and harmony. The
trials and tribulations of life a simply passing phases and should be treated
likewise. One learns swimming in water. A well regulated and disciplined life
based on spiritual ethics brings in rich dividends. Your aspirations for
serving the child humanity under the protective guidance of the Master is
appreciated. As
regards your joining (the) army, you may decide the issue independently on
merits. The observance of strict dietary regulations in military life may not
be a possible hindrance which will, be detrimental for your spiritual
progress. I
have perused the lovely poems and blank verse composed by you in loving
adoration of the gracious Master Power; and appreciate your efforts in this
behalf. There are several loveable odes to the Master when you have tried to
eulogize Him in all reverential humility and deep gratitude. You are fortunate
to bear personal testimony for the very many and untold rare blessings enjoyed
by you under His gracious protection.
The
Hymns or songs given out by Masters out of the abundance of their hearts carry
the higher life impulse to those who hear or recite them. The others composed
by others will carry whatever they are having themselves. The former poems
should be recited in Satsangs and the latter may be read in local Satsangs now and then. If there is any
demand of the same, there can be no objection to the printing thereof. Your
sacred aspirations for spiritual progress are appreciated. You should benefit
from these sacred impulses by more of humility and loving devotion. You have
been blessed with the "Bread of Life and Water of Life" in the form
of holy Naam. The more you partake of it more of divine grace and love shall fall
to your share. You should try to assimilate the divine love by eliminating your
own self. He is always with you and you are so dear to m. I am
glad that you are enjoying your holy meditations at the blessed ashram (Sant
Bani) along with other dear ones over there with the Grace of the Master.
Congenial environments do have their own unrivalled effect when you can enjoy
overwhelming bliss from the charged atmosphere and divine radiation which is
extended abundantly. It
is so good that you enjoy the good company of the dear ones over there when you
share your woes and joys amongst one another. The Father is always pleased to
see the children laying their heads together for the common Holy Cause of the
Master. I am glad you are doing your best to help the cause of the Master at
your own level which has my appreciation.
I
appreciate your sense of right understanding when you have assimilated the rare
loving life impulses of the Master conveyed through the Messages since released
this year. May you all grow in this right understanding and prove worthy
disciples of the Master. Those who relish to serve the Holy Cause in a spirit
of selflessness and dedication are abundantly rewarded in their spiritual progress. Each one of you have a huge amount
of work to do, and if you will be sincere and true to your own self and the
Master within, you will earn rich dividends.
Mutual
trust and toleration amongst the dear ones open new vistas of right
understanding and cement the inviolable ties of fraternity by virtue of Holy
Initiation into the Mysteries of the Beyond. May you grow more and more in right understanding and serve the Holy
Cause with zeal and enthusiasm. Your
increased awareness is a happy prelude. Spiritually illumined do see everything
in its right perspective. The present earth life is an asset when the dear ones
spotted and singled out of the masses are blessed with the rare boon of Holy
Initiation into the Mysteries of the Beyond. Karmas of a virtuous nature go a
long way in assuring emancipation from the cycle of birth and death. Yet you
are to undertake noble karmas in a spirit of dedication for the sake of your
inner spiritual progress. Out
of a truly grateful heart will grow all virtues. Be comforted in the knowledge
that the Master is ever present with you and will always be there to help you
if you fall. Hold Him in constant remembrance. My blessings are with you. Your
earnest desire for helping the people at large is appreciated. When the candle
is lit, it should not be kept under a bushel but it should be placed
prominently at such a place wherefrom others may take inspiration. You can discuss the sacred teachings of the Masters
(but not the inner experiences) with your friends and acquaintances, and guide
them to take up the Holy Path. Spiritually illumined owe much for their less
gifted brethren, who can be led to the Living Master, under His Divine Will. In
the beginning there was no need of any Corporation being made, but as the
Mission is appealing to seekers after Truth being most natural and as such much
easier, and they are growing in number, in different places of the world and as
physical presence of the Master was not possible at all the places, a
Corporation was considered necessary after long loving discussion amongst the
dear ones at Washington and
Chicago, as a result of which the present Corporation came up. The main purpose is to keep the teachings of the Master alive and expanding and for its achievement a sort of organization was necessary. The casing is necessary for the preservation and safety of Kernal. Your reference to Baba Jaimal Singh is noted which was written by me. He separated from Agra for two main reasons: (1)
- He was against any organizational set
up apparently under the control of imperfect hands. Moreover there was no need
for formation at the time as the number of initiates was less; (2) - He did not like to impose taxation on one
and all initiates, rich or poor alike. The present organization is not military organization and there are no hard
and fast rules of civil binding whatsoever and will be working under the
guidance of the living Master. You
need not bother about the number of initiates being less in your group. You may
submit application for membership for your town (whatever number available) and
work wholeheartedly in a spirit of dedication for the Holy Cause of the Master. The ready souls of
the area will be coming up for initiation in due course with the grace of the
Master. I
appreciate your deep gratitude for the manifold blessings enjoyed by you in all
spheres of life. Prayer and gratitude are akin. A gratuitous heart becomes the
abode of all virtues. Divine
plan has its own immaculate ways. It works with mathematical precision.
Fortunate are the chosen few who are blessed in the divine Set Up. You should
continue your selfless efforts for helping the dear ones who are struggling
sincerely for spiritual progress, when they will benefit from the grace of the
Master Power. Everyday
brings in a new life full of vast opportunities. You must not apprehend any
fears whatsoever and instead try to harness your faculties for attaining the
goal of spiritual perfection. Take and accept life with all its vissicitudes,
in easy terms of joy and buoyancy. Just face the situation bravely with mental
equipoise and stability. The tree of life reared in storms yields more of cool
shade and rich fruit. Failures should serve as stepping stones to success. It
is persistent effort which overcomes
all difficulties.
