· Everything is favourable. Behind this ‘being favourable’ is the hand of the great unknown. If one can achieve this balance of one’s mind, heart and intellect, then one can achieve this great unknown. But if we lost our balance become unbalanced, and do all kinds of unwarranted deeds, then how will we achieve this great unknown?
· Lalita, the divinity with the beautiful sweet voice, blossoms like hers. You know when it has blossomed as soon as you begin to speak. You have no doubt about your ability. You become fearless. Your love and affection begin to grow continuously. You are happy, you achieve peace. You are known as the person with the beautiful voice. Your voice has strength. It is refreshing to the ears. It produces happiness in those who listen. Full of pure thoughts and sentiments, you lead a wholesome life.
· We have wandered in the jungles of the mind so long! We do not even know for how many lives we have been wandering. We are still wandering. O god, how long will we keep wandering in ignorance? God, we have been through much. We are tired of wandering lost.
· Out ignorance, our poverty of knowledge shows that we have associated with people who are not alive; they are like the walking dead. The dead stink. That stink bothers us. Our hearts and minds, do not feel free. The practices we do will not bear fruit.
· We perform our meditation, our mantra and our pure thought processes, and we refine these continuously by keeping our senses quiet and our mind focused; we do this to gain this state which has no loss. It is a state beyond considerations of profit and loss and it can be achieved within ourselves.
· We achieve creative energy only by after listening, by pondering over it, and then finding expression for it.
· We save our strength by taking the vow of remaining with one mate. This is a great austere practice in itself. What practice can be more austere? It is a greater vow than worshipping divinities, than going to the doors of saints or fakirs. This vow also pays respect to your Guru. If you want to cultivate creative energy you must rely on the creative strength within yourself. You must save the strength within, refine the strength within, incubate it like an egg.
· If we worship divinity out of inhibition or some other mundane reason, the out fear and greed remain intact. Many kinds of desires will continue to rise within us. When there remain in us, we will not be able to destroy the suffering of happiness and sorrow. These desires can be destroyed only by the grace of the great unknown and by intense discipline.
· By performing mantra recitation, by meditating, by reflecting by doing these things, strength is added to our speech. This strength accumulates and gives us the ability to succeed in everything. Mantra is the friend who takes us to our soul, which though we have always lived with it, we have suppressed. Unable to discern this, we keep looking for our soul our side ourselves and among various divinities.
· I meditate on the divine mother. I meditate on solitude. I do not think of this and that within myself. I do not listen to the internal noise; I do not argue with it, I do not hold sentiments at all. I draw on the ambrosia within, I count on the mala, and I drink the ambrosia of that exhilarating energy. I close my eyes and I am absorbed in it. I have nothing to do with illusions.
· During meditation, devotion and reflection, that entity being contemplated comes very close, and then goes away after visiting you. That moment will not come again. Therefore, give the utmost to that moment.
· I do not like living in villages or cities. At times, in the summer at sunset, I would sit with well wishers absorbed in thought. Or we would discuss good acts and the welfare of the people. When currents rose in my mind for seeing pure sights, I would call up visions and think about them. At times I would try other mantras. I would reflect on the knowledge imparted by the different mantras. I used to think of myself in the form of the mantra as well.

· An Aughar doesn’t believe in giving big sermons or posing like God or God’s Man. He doesn’t invite big masses of people to come and receive his blessings. He believes that spiritual instructions will not be effective level and circumstances. And that is why Aughars prefer to give individual attention.
· Aughars are totally against organized religions. They encourage complete freedom in spiritual practice. Man is born free and should remain free. They believe that spiritual capacity should indeed be used to provide relief to the worldly people. However it should be done in confidence, not with a great pomp and show. Their primary goal is upliftment of the common humanity and in particular, supports and cares for the neglected and destitute people. Aughars themselves don’t want to be in the limelight.
· Although Aughars stayed away from society, people stated visiting them to seek their blessing and to benefit from their spiritual power. This become a threat to the livelihood of Brahmins and Vaishnava leaders, whose job it was to keep people entangled in superstitions and complex rituals in order to maintain their own domination on people’s lives. And therefore they launched an organized campaign against the aghor tradition to portray it as an unruly, erratic, and undesirable cult. The result was that people started to dread and boycott aghor and Aghoris. Even today Aughar Bhagawan Ram for the last two decades has made a significant difference.
· Just as the nature of fire is to provide heat, nature of water us to provide coolness, nature of food is to satisfy the nature hunger, similarly the nature of a true man is to exude friendliness and serve mankind.
· For serving the welfare of the humanity, sacrifice is most essential and, that too, not of an insignificant nature. It should be pure and enlightened.
· The significance of life lies in honestly regulating its fields of activities. You should live in such a way that your life does not cause pain to any soul. Merely playing lip service to the principle of humanity and altruism is not desirable. You must be capable of putting it into practice even at the cost of undergoing countless hardships in the process, at every crossing of life. Only then, you turn into a true benefactor and servant.
· If right from today, you embark upon the accomplishment of the noble tasks to which you stand committed, it will not be difficult for you to attain humanity, for which even the gods yearn.
· If any organization, whether political or social, does not teach the human beings to live unburdened in the open sky and the free air of the era, in tune with the trend of the time and space, and does not develop into a source of noble inspiration for the human race, then, that organization dies on its own and countless perversions creep in within it.
· If one wants to reform society, he must reform himself. Let every individual remove his shortcomings spontaneously, this itself is society reform.
· If established orders will not be subjected to continuous and constant purification and reforms, then one day, they are bound to crumble, bringing in their train the disintegration of Dharma too.
· The very current of thought, which enjoys the respect of the majority of the people, is law. That which is imposed upon the majority cannot be law.
· If universalism does not flourish in the country, and individualism continues to hold away, destruction alone will be the tryst with destiny.
· The intoxication of the youth shuts the eyes and plugs the ears, and paralyzes the conscience, if it is not used in a proper manner. The need of the hour is to provide a strong anchor to the boat on which the youth are mounted, to save it from being washed away.
· Where there is justice prosperity and peace prevail. Where there is mercy, fraud and sin rule the roast. Justice is a great nourisher of morality. The morality of a country where justice rules, is the highest in the whole world. Where mercy needs nothing.
· Let truth alone be the path of your life, morality only be your ideal, softness itself be your voice, and merely novelty and absorption be your goal. Only then you can become virtuous.
· Why do you get upset by suffering? It is a mere shadow. Where there is consciousness, there is misery. To speak the truth, misery is such a link in the chain of your life in the absence of which your own life will not be clear to you. You keep smiling and go on struggling against miseries. This is your life.
· Happiness and sorrow are the two wheels of life. It is these very two wheels that the cart of human life keeps on revolving day and night. The absence of even one of them makes life immobile. Therefore, you must maintain your progress valiantly on extensive path of the world, carrying both of them together. This itself will be your greatest prowess.
· Even while leading family life and maintaining the family, by the pursuit of the pious conduct, man can realize the divine experience which the great sages attain by austere penance living a life of renunciation. A house holder spiritual aspirant should always remember the Almighty, stick to truth, maintain motherly regard for the entire womankind and be egoless.
· You yourself are self manifested God. The day and the moment you will assimilate this spirit in your character and behaviour, you will cease to fear life and death. You will get free from the considerations of loss and gain. You shall not become a refuge of worldly attachments and bonds.
· One who does not love creatures, which are alive and alert, cannot cherish love for the formless and attribute less god of the mosque?
· Happiness and peace are the chief aims of life, and the purity of the soul is the only means of achieve the rarest of rare; you can be solve even the most complicated riddles of the world.
· Peace is the most expedient weapon of life. It is only on the foundation of peace that a happy life can be built up. Everlasting peace can be attained only recesses of the heart. It can never be achieved by deliberation on the heart. It can never be achieved by deliberation on the various sense organs.
· One who talks too much of principles, who reads the scriptures voraciously and who knows a lot, but does not live up to them, is like that destitute who, counting the wealth of others, takes pride in his richness.
· Knowledge is not stored and religious injunctions. Rather, it wells up spontaneously in human heart from self provide the common path for this purpose.
· Mind is a reflection of the soul itself. On disciplining it, the experience of the soul begins to dawn. The dictates of the mind are misleading. It is fickle and its fickleness leads you to the brink of countless desires. If you want to lead a truly blissful life, recognize the voice of the soul. Remember, your soul will always gives you the right inspiration.
· The deities produced by incantation, rites and religious observances may bestow on you material happiness, but they cannot ensure the direct vision of your soul to you.
· Truth cannot be expressed in words and when words are used, acute mind can always find a loophole for attack. Philosopher’s life to be constantly engaged in discussion. The finite cannot contain the infinite. Only through personal realization and by practice can truth be ever known beyond doubt.
· Silence is the most secret state of life. It is the greatest asset of life. Silence itself is the paramount japa. The state of silence is more elevated, holier and more permeated with divine than that of truthful speech. Speechless expression itself is the best means of communication. It is the mightiest power of self guidance. Self absorbed silence is a great achievement of immutable, desire less, and unconcerned state of mind. This very state represents the uniformly true knowledge of the supreme spirit. Concentration in solitude is symbolic of God. Learn to speak mute language.

· WHAT IS JOY?
· Happiness is of two kinds:(1) dwait(dual) which needs which needs two objects; one is happy because of the other, and (2)await (non dual)which happens for no reason. It is joy, it never ends, and it is permanent. Joy is a state of mind that provides enormous inner strength. When a person is He develops a capacity to give more and more. If the mind stays full of joy, all the time, then the desire to possess will disappear. That is why everyone, including sages and mahatmas are looking for it paramananda (eternal joy). It automatically creates a sense of non attachment with worldly objects and love for all.
· WHAT IS GOOD KARMA?We always say: Do the right karma and you will be blessed with the right fruits. However, the definition of the right fruit is different for different person. How can one understand right karma if he has no idea of what actually the right fruit means?
· There is no documented record any were any religion, that describes good and bad karmas. Whatever action does not create any internal conflict is a good karma. And there is no reason to be concerned about the fruits. If your action does not create any doubts inside you, then you will have peace of mind. Every person is responsible for himself only. He can think in his own way as to what he should or should not do. The point is that the teaching must be in accordance with the taught. For instance, a hungry robber should be given a meal first, rather than a lesson on consequences of stealing. Since every problem is different, and therefore, its solution should also be different. So, whenever one is doubtful about his action, he should take a moment to think about it calmly. He will find an answer. If he has already acted, then he will find relief in deciding that he will never do it again. That provides him a lot of strength.As for as fruit is concerned you don’t know what is good for you in your life. You think of one thing actually something else is good for you. To find this out you should make it a routine to take a moment when you can sit quietly and evaluate yourself. And gradually everything will become alright. You won’t have to think about what is good and what is bad. Your actions will automatically get centered around good behaviour only. Your mind will slowly reach such a stage that you won’t even think about wrong things. So, just think of yourself. Don’t worry about the society, country or the world. That is not your responsibility. And this is where the beginning is. You just improve yourself, you don’t even have to worry about your own family members; they will change automatically.
· What is the meaning of duty? What are the duties of an average person?
· There are two types of duties: one is to comply with the social system for the sake of the family and society; you have to work to earn your living. And second is to keep your mind and body in right condition. The latter one is your primary duty, that is, to keep your mind on right path and in a balanced state. It is very important because everything else depends upon this. You see a lot of very wealthy people who look good from outside but once you come close to them, then you realize how miserable they actually are. They are not mentally at peace. And that is because they have completely ignored themselves to the secondary duty only. Even a half hour attention to your mind is sufficient to keep other things on right path for the whole day. A good analogy is an example of a small battery that starts a big engine. Keep the small one charged in order to run the big one.
· IS RAMAYANA A HISTORY ? Are the stories of lord Rama and lord Krishna as we read in Ramayana and Bhagavad-Gita history or just mythology?
· They are history indeed. Wars and revolutions form the milestones for history. History does not build up upon smooth society. Actually, another name for history is change.It is human nature to respect or worship powerful personalities. Rama and Krishna, however, are revered and adored not only because they were powerful, but also because they had good characters.History does not provide any dates about their presence on the earth because the dating process started merely two thousand years ago. However, geographical places do exist even now, for instance, Ayodhya’s, Vrindavan, etc. people continued to recognize these places even throughout, the enormous changes that took place in the society and on the earth.Although Tulasi Das wrote the Hindi version of Ramayana, the original Ramayana was written in Sanskrit by sage Balmiki. He wrote everything before it happened. This something that is possible ever today. So there is nothing unusual about the history.
· WHAT IS A STATE OF VACUUM ?What does a state of vacuum really mean? When mind is diverted from everything else, what does it really concentrate at ?
· The point that your mind will be nowhere. And when mind is nowhere, there is nothing inside you, and then you will understand the reality. You will be in a higher state of consciousness (shoonya state) which is the real state of mind. That increases your mental capacity; you may not even notice it. It is a way to charge your own battery. This is not too publicized or preached; do it and experience it yourself. This is a way to enlighten yourself. Lit your own inner self, you will become independent. I don’t want you to depend upon somebody forever. It seems it is difficult to keep the mind in control. It remains quiet for a little while and then it states to wander around again. What should one do?
· It will improve gradually. Keep on practicing and after a whatever way you steer it, it will comply. Mind will become inactive and will start to obey you. It will loosen its importance in life and then there will be no disturbance. You will notice then that there is no difference between mind and soul. This is very peculiar issue. Soul when it is absorbed in worldly affairs becomes mind. And when it gets separated from these things, then it becomes soul again. But both are indeed one and the same thing, some energy. When mind’s domination over you is eliminated, the soul takes over and that is when you get enlightened. You will hear good things from your soul; you will do good things that will affect others. As a matter of fact, soul always tells you good things, but your life is so over whelmed by worldly affairs that your mind never lets the soul rise up. What I want is that this hollow cover on your soul should be removed and it can be done through practice.
· Where does intellect fit in here?
· These are just words: mind, intellect, wisdom, etc. Do not worry about them. Keep your concentration on soul only.
· That means the improvement has to start from one’s own inner self. Is that true?
· Absolutely. When everything is perfect, then it can be lit any time. When the soul is not ready, there is no need to put seed in it. Even if it gets seeded, the seed will not germinate until it gets moisture and heat. Put this seed inside you anyway. It may not germinate now but it will stay there. When right time comes, you may develop good thoughts and then you will appeereciate whatever I tell you now. Good thought, good action and good company will germinate the seed inside you. But for those who have deprived themselves from getting seeded, it is an entirely different issue.
· Happiness is of two kinds:(1) dwait(dual) which needs which needs two objects; one is happy because of the other, and (2)await (non dual)which happens for no reason.

It remains quiet for a little while and then it states to wander around again. What should one do?
· It will improve gradually. Keep on practicing and after a whatever way you steer it, it will comply. Mind will become inactive and will start to obey you. It will loosen its importance in life and then there will be no disturbance. You will notice then that there is no difference between mind and soul. This is very peculiar issue. Soul when it is absorbed in worldly affairs becomes mind. And when it gets separated from these things, then it becomes soul again. But both are indeed one and the same thing, some energy. When mind’s domination over you is eliminated, the soul takes over and that is when you get enlightened. You will hear good things from your soul; you will do good things that will affect others. As a matter of fact, soul always tells you good things, but your life is so over whelmed by worldly affairs that your mind never lets the soul rise up. What I want is that this hollow cover on your soul should be removed and it can be done through practice.
· Where does intellect fit in here?
· These are just words: mind, intellect, wisdom, etc. Do not worry about them. Keep your concentration on soul only.
· That means the improvement has to start from one’s own inner self. Is that true?
· Absolutely. When everything is perfect, then it can be lit any time. When the soul is not ready, there is no need to put seed in it. Even if it gets seeded, the seed will not germinate until it gets moisture and heat. Put this seed inside you anyway. It may not germinate now but it will stay there. When right time comes, you may develop good thoughts and then you will appeereciate whatever I tell you now. Good thought, good action and good company will germinate the seed inside you. But for those who have deprived themselves from getting seeded, it is an entirely different issue.

· An Aughar doesn’t believe in giving big sermons or posing like God or God’s Man. He doesn’t invite big masses of people to come and receive his blessings. He believes that spiritual instructions will not be effective level and circumstances. And that is why Aughars prefer to give individual attention.
· Aughars are totally against organized religions. They encourage complete freedom in spiritual practice. Man is born free and should remain free. They believe that spiritual capacity should indeed be used to provide relief to the worldly people. However it should be done in confidence, not with a great pomp and show. Their primary goal is upliftment of the common humanity and in particular, supports and cares for the neglected and destitute people. Aughars themselves don’t want to be in the limelight.
· Although Aughars stayed away from society, people stated visiting them to seek their blessing and to benefit from their spiritual power. This become a threat to the livelihood of Brahmins and Vaishnava leaders, whose job it was to keep people entangled in superstitions and complex rituals in order to maintain their own domination on people’s lives. And therefore they launched an organized campaign against the aghor tradition to portray it as an unruly, erratic, and undesirable cult. The result was that people started to dread and boycott aghor and Aghoris. Even today Aughar Bhagawan Ram for the last two decades has made a significant difference.
· Just as the nature of fire is to provide heat, nature of water us to provide coolness, nature of food is to satisfy the nature hunger, similarly the nature of a true man is to exude friendliness and serve mankind.
· For serving the welfare of the humanity, sacrifice is most essential and, that too, not of an insignificant nature. It should be pure and enlightened.
· The significance of life lies in honestly regulating its fields of activities. You should live in such a way that your life does not cause pain to any soul. Merely playing lip service to the principle of humanity and altruism is not desirable. You must be capable of putting it into practice even at the cost of undergoing countless hardships in the process, at every crossing of life. Only then, you turn into a true benefactor and servant.
· If right from today, you embark upon the accomplishment of the noble tasks to which you stand committed, it will not be difficult for you to attain humanity, for which even the gods yearn.
· If any organization, whether political or social, does not teach the human beings to live unburdened in the open sky and the free air of the era, in tune with the trend of the time and space, and does not develop into a source of noble inspiration for the human race, then, that organization dies on its own and countless perversions creep in within it.
· If one wants to reform society, he must reform himself. Let every individual remove his shortcomings spontaneously, this itself is society reform.
· If established orders will not be subjected to continuous and constant purification and reforms, then one day, they are bound to crumble, bringing in their train the disintegration of Dharma too.
· The very current of thought, which enjoys the respect of the majority of the people, is law. That which is imposed upon the majority cannot be law.
· If universalism does not flourish in the country, and individualism continues to hold away, destruction alone will be the tryst with destiny.
· The intoxication of the youth shuts the eyes and plugs the ears, and paralyzes the conscience, if it is not used in a proper manner. The need of the hour is to provide a strong anchor to the boat on which the youth are mounted, to save it from being washed away.
· Where there is justice prosperity and peace prevail. Where there is mercy, fraud and sin rule the roast. Justice is a great nourisher of morality. The morality of a country where justice rules, is the highest in the whole world. Where mercy needs nothing.
· Let truth alone be the path of your life, morality only be your ideal, softness itself be your voice, and merely novelty and absorption be your goal. Only then you can become virtuous.
· Why do you get upset by suffering? It is a mere shadow. Where there is consciousness, there is misery. To speak the truth, misery is such a link in the chain of your life in the absence of which your own life will not be clear to you. You keep smiling and go on struggling against miseries. This is your life.
· Happiness and sorrow are the two wheels of life. It is these very two wheels that the cart of human life keeps on revolving day and night. The absence of even one of them makes life immobile. Therefore, you must maintain your progress valiantly on extensive path of the world, carrying both of them together. This itself will be your greatest prowess.
· Even while leading family life and maintaining the family, by the pursuit of the pious conduct, man can realize the divine experience which the great sages attain by austere penance living a life of renunciation. A house holder spiritual aspirant should always remember the Almighty, stick to truth, maintain motherly regard for the entire womankind and be egoless.
· You yourself are self manifested God. The day and the moment you will assimilate this spirit in your character and behaviour, you will cease to fear life and death. You will get free from the considerations of loss and gain. You shall not become a refuge of worldly attachments and bonds.
· One who does not love creatures, which are alive and alert, cannot cherish love for the formless and attribute less god of the mosque?
· Happiness and peace are the chief aims of life, and the purity of the soul is the only means of achieve the rarest of rare; you can be solve even the most complicated riddles of the world.
· Peace is the most expedient weapon of life. It is only on the foundation of peace that a happy life can be built up. Everlasting peace can be attained only recesses of the heart. It can never be achieved by deliberation on the heart. It can never be achieved by deliberation on the various sense organs.
· One who talks too much of principles, who reads the scriptures voraciously and who knows a lot, but does not live up to them, is like that destitute who, counting the wealth of others, takes pride in his richness.
· Knowledge is not stored and religious injunctions. Rather, it wells up spontaneously in human heart from self provide the common path for this purpose.
· Mind is a reflection of the soul itself. On disciplining it, the experience of the soul begins to dawn. The dictates of the mind are misleading. It is fickle and its fickleness leads you to the brink of countless desires. If you want to lead a truly blissful life, recognize the voice of the soul. Remember, your soul will always gives you the right inspiration.
· The deities produced by incantation, rites and religious observances may bestow on you material happiness, but they cannot ensure the direct vision of your soul to you.
· Truth cannot be expressed in words and when words are used, acute mind can always find a loophole for attack. Philosopher’s life to be constantly engaged in discussion. The finite cannot contain the infinite. Only through personal realization and by practice can truth be ever known beyond doubt.
· Silence is the most secret state of life. It is the greatest asset of life. Silence itself is the paramount japa. The state of silence is more elevated, holier and more permeated with divine than that of truthful speech. Speechless expression itself is the best means of communication. It is the mightiest power of self guidance. Self absorbed silence is a great achievement of immutable, desire less, and unconcerned state of mind. This very state represents the uniformly true knowledge of the supreme spirit. Concentration in solitude is symbolic of God. Learn to speak mute language.
· You cannot realize him by reading holy books. Don’t look for him in Vedas, puranas, and Upanishads. Don’t look for him in caves, jungles, or mountains. Don’t look for him in temple, church, mosque, or sinagauge. Don’t look for him in sky or ocean. He is in your heart. Realize him.
· You must be in love with God’s soul, not with his form. You must promote his message, not his name. If his message is that of love and service then respect it and obey it. Receive intuitions from and what he wants you to do.
· The real task of the enlightened is to show new light to the world in order to make its field of action simple and systematic. Mere formulation of views and doctrines makes even the enlightened ignorant.
· The true Guru is one whose very presence generates pure thoughts, inspires fresh ideas, and effortlessly cleanses the soul. The Guru’s teachings may not conform to the scriptures, but they are fashioned to meet the exigencies of time and space. They unveil the mysteries of life and lead you towards a bright future.
· Go to the shelter of the master of the spiritual love. He will reveal to you the gigantic universal form of love which rests within your heart itself. Look for him after becoming egoless. You will definitely find him. The day you will meet the master of love in the shrine of your heart, you will realize that love itself is God.
· If you lack human virtures, then whenever you come near a Great soul, you will develop distraction. You will start speculating that nothing is going to be achieved from him and with this thought; you will retract your steps.
· No one can abandon the society. No matter where you live, one or the other kind of society will get formed. And if the society is going to be with you no matter what, then you must learn how you should live within it. This is more important than running after divinity. Cooperate with the social system. Make sure your conduct and behaviour are sociable and cultured. After all, society is an image of your own attributes. If your society is good, it makes you look good too.
· Everyone cannot become a leader or a master that is the way it is.
· You must strive to become active, industrious, and conscientious. Karma is the foundation of your life. Work is worship. What interests you intensely is your allotted task by the Divine Mother. You must do it to the best of your capacity.
· You must avoid the work which gives you a guilty conscience, even though it is familiar and pleasant.
· You must not listen to those sadhus or preachers who don’t inspire you for karma and hard work, who don’t teach you how to live in the society.
· Today, man is looking an easy life, easy solutions to his problems. He does not want to work hard to solve his own problems. That is the reason he goes to visit sadhus and saints and he particularly likes through miracles. These kinds of sadhus are not helping the society or nation. Solutions through mantras are wrong and unproductive lessons for people and society.
· Your responsibility is to make sure that you earnestly use your talents and capacity that are gifted to you. Don’t worry about the reward. That will arrive at the appropriate time. If you stay on the right path. Materialistic reward is not the thing you should look for, because that comprises many undesirable elements which impart bad influence on you.

Baba
Guru Vani
In the present decade we are seeing confusion, turmoil, bloodshed and a race for something about which people themselves don’t know. Suddenly,such activities started growing more and more intense, and we can solve these problems like dirty things start piling up in the ocean, just one stroke from it throws everything out to the shore. If bad things grow up in the society and the nation, you can expect similar results. If it is growing very fast, that means its end is near. I think during your life time you will see what happens to it.
Do you think that people will come in Aughars contact and change? I cannot say much in people coming in Aughars coming this regard. However, I think it is extremely important that I reveal something. If you want to produce a storm, or if you want to bring intensity in the air, you need to ignite a fire. That will heat up the atmosphere, the wind will pick up speed and storm will follow. And finally chill, will disappear.As we use fire to end chill, similarly something equivalent should be used to destroy the social evils. Some people want to create that condition and want some change to happen very soon such that the effects are widespread. If it is not happening, that does not mean that they do not want a change. It is possible that they are waiting for the appropriate moment. This is not impossible. I believe we will do something.
If the kind of improvement you just mentioned, happens through is massive bloodshed or a complete natural disaster, then who will be left to enjoy the improved conditions? Your responsibility is just to improve yourself. It is not for you to worry about how the earth will improve, who will die, and who will live, because you did not create these things. Instead of preaching out the need and time for improvement, you watch yourself and see whether or not you are improved. That is your responsibility. You need not worry about the whole world. The one, who created it, will take care of it. All you have to do is to change your own self so that in case of distress, you can provide is shelter to the other. And that’s all.
An improvement is certain and probably will happen soon. The way you can contribute is to improve yourself before others do. If people are thinking that somebody will drop a bomb, then that is not going to happen. USA. Or U.S.S.R. is not going to use them. They are building them like toys for sale only. If they don’t sell them, these things are not going to sit in their storage for ever. They also have finite life time. They might explode right where they are stored. Well, let us wait and see. There is still sometime. It is possible they will develop some good sense and will destroy these bombs themselves. If they are not selling, at least get rid of them.
Look at the situation in the Middle East now. What is happening? To all the countries including Lebanon, Iraq and Iran? The whole area is in turmoil. On one hand they are praying to Allah and Mohammad, and on the other hand they are fighting among themselves. Religious or spiritual thoughts should be above all, but look for yourself. If prayer can’t provide them with good sense, then what else can? Not only that, they don’t even know what they are fighting for. So you should start your own improvement. Once you do so, it is going to affect your neighbours as well. A wind will blow and that will affect others. They may not accept it because of their ego but they will definitely feel it.
Is it possible that nothing external will happen and just the people will improve in such a way that all the existing things will start to appear nice? There is nothing wrong with world. Society has had a tradition of going through changes all the time. I believe, only the disorganized ones know about the disorder and only the spoiled ones know about the spoil. A good person won’t understand disorderly matters. If I am perfect and my inner self clear, then I would not find anything wrong with you.
It is well known that goods and evils are in every living being. Nobody is totally, good or totally bad. It is a matter of degree. Even an evil person does more good than bad on the average. A thief or robber does not harm others all the time. Most of the time he is inactive, laying around, because people dislike him and ignore, him. Everyone likes to curse an evil person. Nobody wants to sit and converse with him. And that is exactly what is required for social improvement. If we change ourselves in such a way that we can sit together with those whom we call bad, the problem will be solved. It is turn that the person who does bad, understands it very well. He may be doing it only due to the circumstances. So, the need is to sit together with him and try to understand him. This will make him confess and that in turn will bring humility in him. And humility is the key step towards improvement. That is how the society can be improved. It would neither happen through tougher long speeches, nor can government do it through tougher laws.
And if it does not happen this way then nature will do whatever is appropriate. It has to happen. How will it happen, that is a game nature has to play. For example, indira Gandhi was killed in spite of a very heavy security. Her own body bodyguards killed her. Did anybody expect it? However, it did happen suddenly, when something is to happen, it to happen suddenly, nobody will know about it. May be it will suddenly come to somebody’s mind and he will do it. If something needs to be done by you, all that has to happen is to get your mind steered accordingly. Now who will do it, that I can’t tell.
Some people believe that the society has become so much corrupted, that those, who start talking about improvements get eliminated from the scene. But that is not true. Who can eliminate them? It seems they don’t know the method of improvement, makes a mystical impact those who come in his contact. There is a proper way of doing this. The issue is not whether improvement will happen, it has to happen.
I remember, during India’s struggle for freedom, all the big political leaders were put in jail at the same time in 1942. There was no means of communications. No radio, no T.V, no newspaper.Nobody was lift to guide the nation and people. But suddenly a strange wave swept the country and starting from young to old, there was only one slogan on every tongue: Get the Britishers out of the country. It was a great surprise for everyone. I have witnessed it myself.So don’t worry about corruption. It also has to go away. When time comes another wave will sweep the nation and will affect every mind. Those who understand nature will initiate that wave and provide momentum to it.
In the present decade we are seeing confusion, turmoil, bloodshed and a race for something about which people themselves don’t know. Suddenly,such activities started growing more and more intense, and we can solve these problems like dirty things start piling up in the ocean, just one stroke from it throws everything out to the shore.

However, it did happen suddenly, when something is to happen, it to happen suddenly, nobody will know about it. May be it will suddenly come to somebody’s mind and he will do it. If something needs to be done by you, all that has to happen is to get your mind steered accordingly. Now who will do it, that I can’t tell.
Some people believe that the society has become so much corrupted, that those, who start talking about improvements get eliminated from the scene. But that is not true. Who can eliminate them? It seems they don’t know the method of improvement, makes a mystical impact those who come in his contact. There is a proper way of doing this. The issue is not whether improvement will happen, it has to happen.
I remember, during India’s struggle for freedom, all the big political leaders were put in jail at the same time in 1942. There was no means of communications. No radio, no T.V, no newspaper.Nobody was lift to guide the nation and people. But suddenly a strange wave swept the country and starting from young to old, there was only one slogan on every tongue: Get the Britishers out of the country. It was a great surprise for everyone. I have witnessed it myself.So don’t worry about corruption. It also has to go away. When time comes another wave will sweep the nation and will affect every mind. Those who understand nature will initiate that wave and provide momentum to it.

GURU VANI
· Even by mistake you should not visit the place which induces sinister outlook and evil thoughts amongst the people, causes harm and brings ill repute to yourself, generates agonies within you, contributes to loss of self esteem and also respect of others for yourself.
· You should not be perturbed over misfortune and lose your patience. It is only the stage when your reasoning faculty owns defeat that the path for the self realization is facilitated.
· Mercy is a great sin. You should neither do mercy nor should you expect mercy. Mercy disregards the spirit of making effort only is the real form of truth. If you have to demand, ask for justice not for mercy. If you want to give, give justice, not mercy. God also does justice, he does not do mercy.
· Before you step in the field of divinity and devotion, you must first look at the society and help remove itself evil traditions and tenets. That itself would be a greater devotion.
· Soul does not go to hell or heaven. It is imperishable and eternal. It is neither born nor belong dies. Soul is energy. It is one. How can it belong to hell or heaven?
· Respect worthy are in millions, but trustworthy are only a few. You must give regards to all but trust and love to only a few. There lies a thick veil between respect and trust. They are as far apart as Himalaya’s peak is from the ocean floor.
· The whole idea of sadhana is to train yourself to be able to live peacefully through the worldly conditition. Running away from the world in order to live peacefully in a cave or in a jungle, is something anyone can do. But a real Sadhak is the one who can enjoy peace while living within the disturbing conditions.
· Man is nucleus and the universe is its expansion. One who sees the whole universe in himself and himself in the universe cannot feel desire for anything. What can he crave for who has attained the source of all desires?
· Man is God’s supreme creation. He was given everything that God could possibly give. In other words, man is a manifestation of God himself. He was given all the virtues and vices of all the creatures that already existed.
· Never utter your Guru’s name in any gathering. Never portray him as an incarnation of God or a miraculous embodiment. Talk about things that are of common interest to everyone. Every saint or realized soul has spiritual capabilities, what is there to discuss? These kinds of discussions are not only useless; they are also harmful for the society and humanity.
· Wait for the right moment before you go close to a pure soul. Pay close attention to his every action has a definite meaning and possibly carries a hidden message for you.
· Guru adores simple behaviour. He takes care of everyone who is committed to simple behaviour and noble character. He will send messages to you but it is up to you to recognize him.
· You have no knowledge of what is going to happen at the next moment. Things that are supposed to happen, will happen no matter what. Then what is the sense in making big plans for the future. Learn to live in the pleasant. Your effort must be to make an optimum use of every moment that is passing by and to do the best you can, right at this moment. Today’s karma is tomorrow’s destiny indeed.
· Nobody bestows pleasure and pain on others. You reap the consequences of your own action. You cannot hide your good or bad karmas from space and dimensions, these divine messengers are omniscient.

AGHORAANNA PARO MANTRON NAASTI TATVAM GURAUHA PARAM
You are known as householders (grihastha). You bear the weight of a family. If you are among the good householders, and if there is an entity such as God, who is influenced by your efforts, then all good householders will attain a high place. But if there is no such entity, and these efforts do not matter to it, still these efforts are sufficient in themselves. In a little corner of his heart a householder has a big space. He can accommodate hundreds of people in that space and still find space for himself. What could be greater than this?
