[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.
