Spiritual Journey and The Turning Point
- After the age of 46 had many intense spiritual experiences of very high order following which asked I my Aaraadhya Naaraayani Ma BhavTaarini to take-up my worldly responsibilities into ‘Her’ hands and let me set my mind totally at ‘Her’ feet
- After 48 took an early retirement from ‘work for living’ and returned to India with
intent to take Pad’Yaatra of the country like Swami Vivekananda once did in his days but
Ma BhavTaarini had other ideas and I was made acutely aware through a series of illnesses
that my immune system had altered significantly enough, after living in Canada, to render
me misfit for Pad’Yaatra through the length and breadth of the country
- This created a vacuum in my life with no work to keep my physical and mental energies challenged
- My return to ‘Paridhi (ambit) of Maya’ for no apparent reason made me ask Ma BhavTaarini again not to let me return to ‘work for living’ but to let me 'work for Her'
- Over one year passed but Ma BhavTaarini appeared to be in no mood for responding to my appeal so, I returned to Canada again
- While listening to BhagavadGita Adhyaay 18 Shlok 61 on 1 Nov 2001 (Thursday night) I
saw, in momentary flash, an indication of the job ahead
- Eight days later on 10 Nov (Saturday morning) I woke up with a feeling of all my desires extinguished
- That is when I finally returned from Canada to begin my work and since then, never looked back
Face to Face with Worldly Reality
A distant dream1
Let there be a chain of schools, at every residential locality throughout BhaaratVarsh, so that children do not have to go far for their education.
Let the children be taught in the local language so that they are able to think on their own without wasting time to learn yet another language (except, of course, for those who have a special flair for different languages).
Let the structure of education be designed in accordance with Hindu life style and Hindu value system, which had produced such extraordinary results and such stable behavior pattern that lasted for thousands of years, until Macaulay conspiracy took over the reigns, and Christian-English Education system corrupted the whole environment thoroughly, and seemingly beyond repair.
Let the Hindu Education System be designed with due respect towards the knowledge of the ancients, and the accomplishments of Hindu systems of Science.
Toward The Final Dissolution2
-
River flows. It cannot stay static. If it does, it turns into a pond, or at the most a lake bound by its boundaries.
-
River must continue to flow until it merges into the ocean. So, am I - cannot stay static, must go on, and on, until my soul finally dissolves into the Supreme Soul, and loses its identity altogether, much the same as it happens with the river as it merges into the ocean.
-
-
River gives, it does not take. If it does gather anything on course of its journey towards the ocean, it gathers and gives, it gathers and gives away.
-
It doesn't accumulate for itself. It has no use for it all, for its own, so it keeps unburdening itself on its way towards its journey to the ocean.
-
Much the same is the case with me. I have no use for myself to accumulate anything that I would want to say my own.
-
On the last leg of my journey I cannot afford to accumulate any, or else I have to return again to take care of them.
