The Gospel Truth:— Tidings Of Life: 2011

THE GOSPEL TRUTH

The object of our life is God-realization,

the personality—

proficient in the urge of upholding and protecting,

the way to this is

the active adhering-attachment to Master the Guide,

from this comes―

the adjustment of the self,

the adjustment of the family,

the adjustment of the society,

the adjustment of the country,

and through this adjustment of the country

building an unifying-link with the whole world

to advance towards propitious becoming

with all that are there,

and to make all of these fulfilled― in God;

and verily this―

the supreme wisdom of God-realization.

He, the Source of Creation, the Almighty One and Unique manifests Himself with all His properties and appears from time to time when need arises acutely. His Revelation leads mankind from the depths of darkness into the light of eternal go. It comes to every age whenever men and women fall from the sovereign path of consummation and choose the crooked path of discord, sorrow and pain, selfishness and degradation, ignorance, hatred, despair, unbelief; poison their lives and see shapes of evil in the physical, moral and spiritual world,— He, the Advent descends through the infinite Mercy and Love of Providence with the holy attributes and compassion for the people due to the cry of existential crisis and guides and serves normally with His own urge as a man. His Revelation is the criterion by which we may judge between right and wrong, between false and true, between Message that comes from the Providence and the forgeries of men, between the Real in our eternal future and the fancies by which we are misled.

Yes, at this present time of degenerating humanity, SRI SRI THAKUR ANUKULCHANDRA, the only effulging bloom of heaven with heavenly attributes, comes in the fullest blaze of history to proclaim to the people the way of existential upkeep and the relation between one and others in a compassionate active concordance. He is the Prophet Incarnate Anointed One— the Messenger of the universal existential propitious prophecy— the present Fulfiller the Best and the adjusted abode and resurrected meaning of the past. All through out the life He, the Lord of Love who is omnipotent through the zeal of His burning love for all and omnipresent for His weirdly responding sympathy for the universe, imparts to the people existential upliftment with the personal effulgence of unity with compassionate thrill of life that makes everyone cross over every difficulties, induces everyone to thrive up with every peculiarity of his own to helm of love and pity keeping his specific distinctiveness intact with due conduction of His complexes to the Ideal with love, faith and service. His Messages shed the light on the darkness in their mind and imbue them with hope and energy in the gloomy unsolved paths of their lives.

He says, "The earth is full of agonies of the civilized. Can't you hear the clang of the weapons of love and service— the India's birthright of becoming? My war is a war of services against the foes common to all— the poor and the rich, the east and west. Have you not nerves and the pluck to attack the citadels of ignorance and prejudice, the hosts visible and invisible that bring in disease, disaster, sufferings and death?" Again He firmly dictates--- "Do never die nor cause death, but resist death to death".

His prime mission is Being and Becoming, i.e., life and growth of one and all. He emphasizes— "We want to live, we want to grow up, we do not want to go down. Whatever 'ism' one might accept, Ideal-centricity makes him grow, making him integrated and adjusted. In and through this personality grows. If a man's personality develops he can become great, turning the unfavourable circumstances in his favour. On the other hand, for lack of an integrated personality, he can go to the dogs mishandling all facilities and opportunities that exist for him. The sum and substance of it is that without adherence to the Superior Beloved, a man's life is never set right. A man cannot lead a life worth living without accepting one in whom everything can be set right".

"To uphold and expand one's own life with that of others is Dharma", specifically declares He in clear and concrete terms. The laws that sustain, uphold and nurture the all round harmonious life and growth of individual with those of environment is Dharma. So Dharma should be man's basic stay and the most desired thing in life. In this regard He further says—

Being is instinct with existence,

responsiveness and blissful becoming,―

and is spontaneously evil-resisting;

that which fulfills existence,

responsiveness and blissful becoming

― is Dharma;

Dharma is manifested in the Ideal,―

taking initiation from the Ideal begets adherence to Him;

adherence to the Ideal brings adjustment of complexes;

adjustment of complexes invites the upholding-urge;

upholding-urge endows inter-interested compassion;

inter-interested compassion gives birth to integration;

integration welcomes strength;

strength bestows total harmonious growth;

again, upholding-urge fetches all-round cogitation;

from all-round cogitation comes upkeep of thorough conception;

again, thorough conception goads to the feeling of absoluteness―

the extreme annihilation of desires―

the total awakening of supreme-consciousness.

"I know that love for the Ideal is the only messenger to rescue the people from disintegration. To love means to be concentric to Him. To be concentric is to be inter-interested with one another. Only in this way can there come a unity in variety. It is my belief that this is the essence of growth, toward peace on earth and good-will toward men".

Following His message, accepting Him as Ideal in life people from every community of the society, irrespective of caste, class, religion, country and whatsoever, praying to Him, surrendering to, serving and installing Him with all their purposes, with all their service, love and emotion and with all the resources they have, moving on doing and dealing accordingly elating everyone with the message of love, hope, charity and service that exalts to uphold, protect and nurture existence and growth and to resist evil, form SATSANG, not merely as an institution, rather a spiritual association, the Community of the Lovers of Existence, of which SRI SRI THAKUR ANUKULCHANDRA is the Nucleus the loving axis. He did not formally establish or lay the foundation of Satsang ceremoniously. But as His saying 'Heaven alone is a foggy conception, but we can surmise heaven through Christ', so Satsang evolved normally, naturally, spontaneously round the loving personality of Sri Sri Thakur accepting Him As The Ideal. Satsang's prime objective is to establish a meaningful co-ordination between oneself, the Ideal and the environment. As Sri Sri Thakur says about Satsang—

Satsang wants man

in the name of the One Supreme Creator of all—

Ishwar, God, Khuda or Existence

whatever you may call Him;

Satsang does not recognize anyone or anything

that draws the line of discrimination in the name of Exponents

in the name of Advents and Prophets the Fulfillers

and sowing seeds of division in human-family

separates everyone from another

by making them engaged in mutual noncooperation

creates mass destructive discord in the suicidal call of death—

whoever he may be—

either a Hindu, a Muslim, a Jain, a Sikh,

a Buddhist, a Christian or the like;

regarding each and everyone as the child of the One Almighty

Satsang wants to make all submissive to that One;

Satsang does not think in terms of Pakistan,

does not think in terms of Hindustan,

does not think in terms of Russia,

does not think in terms of China,

does not think in terms of Europe, America either—

Satsang wants mankind—

Satsang wants Sakistan— the Fraternal-Land

with every individual of mankind—

be he a Hindu, a Muslim, a Christian , a Buddhist

or whoever or whatever he might be,—

to be assembled in His name at the clarion call of "Five Fires"—

in pursuit, in all round nurture and fulfillment,

in elevating offering—

in inter-interested cordial co-operation

and in an efficient and industrious uplifting go,—

so that, earning his food and clothing by his own toil

everyone may sustain himself

safe-guarding his personal liberty

moving on the path of upliftment,

so that, each one has to perceive that everyone belongs to him,

none would think himself— helpless, penniless and shelterless,

rather, everyone should cheerfully declare

with active co-operative loving enthusiasm—

"I belong to everyone, everyone belongs to me";

Satsang wants a super-international co-operation

so that, there is not the least flaw in anyone's existential becoming,

where everyone may move freely in this world

in one-accord co-operation

with self-developing efficient and industrious service and felicitation

with mutually fulfilling integrated elevation,

having been fulfilled by the elevating inspiration

in that Ideal Fulfiller the Best—

to become meaningful in that One and Unique.

Sri Sri Thakur always considered man as His most treasured possession and said— "Love is my expenditure and man is my income". He dictates, "Not money, your own is man / catch as many men as you can".

He and His life are the most perfect representation of His own teachings. He has dived deep into the mysteries of life with His divine introspection and spontaneity of love and service. His wisdom sparkles out with the glittering facets of His manifold experiences out of His spontaneous urge to serve humanity and when people of different religion and nationality with their various problems want to have deeper solutions of their life, the utterances come out in different languages according to the needs of the different persons. The sayings come like showers of heavenly mercy, sometimes slowly, sometimes in volleys. His precepts a complete knowledge of everything for the welfare of humanity, its present and its future, run to thousands of pages for regulating even the minutest details of human behaviour for making every life a success. He has called His doctrine as 'practical-philosophy', because those are realistic and born out of His unfathomable experiences.

He says, "My Message is my life". His vast range of literature covers all aspects of human life, all subjects concerning existence and growth. There is no topic which He does not discuss, analyze and elaborate, there is no 'ism' which He does not fulfill, there is no problem which He does not solve, there is no individual whom He does not fulfill and exalt. His messages spontaneously dictate on wide variety of subjects ranging from personal, conjugal, family, marriage, sex, health, education, character, behaviour, conduct, science, religion, dharma, philosophy, politics, democracy, communism, state, government, diplomacy, liberty, freedom, law and order, administration, social-system, foreign-relation, art, literature, culture, trait, tradition, agriculture, industry and so on. Sri Sri Thakur beautifully depicts in a scientific and rational manner how and why we should cultivate such lovely qualities like love, sympathy, service, fellow-feeling, charity, valour, generosity, efficiency, steadfastness, gratitude, industrious habits, honesty, optimism, conscientious will, friendliness, sense of responsibility, inquisitiveness, non-go-between habit, motor-sensory co-ordination, kindness, compassion, gentleness, self-analysis, forgiveness, toleration, patience, perseverance, endurance, earnestness, self-complacence, obedience, farsightedness etc. Yet the prime object of all these is to protect, nurture and fulfill the existence of all with due attention to individual distinctiveness, equitable distribution and mutual fellow-feeling. The individual should be sought to be developed along with his environment on an existential basis. And this presupposes the need for adherence to the Ideal. He says that laws should be framed in harmony with cosmic laws so that they may served the being and becoming of people. Any error in legislation may lead to disaster.

Let us with all humility accept His divine sayings, mould our lives accordingly and make ourselves fit to be His right instruments of service and thus make present day man and world fit to create and enjoy the kingdom of heaven that has already come to man with His advent on Earth.

FIVE FIRES

Do surrender to and serve the Almighty One and Unique;

do serve devoutly the solemn seers

who fulfill the past;

be devout unto the forefathers

who roamed on the route of eternal go;

do serve devoutly

the grouping of the varieties of similar instincts―

that specifically inhere in the being;

and do thou dedicate thyself to the present Fulfiller, the Best―

the adjusted abode and resurrected meaning of the past;

this― the superb and sovereign path of consummation;

this― the Dharma of existence

and this to follow eternally.

SEVEN FLAMES

No one is worshippable

other than Brahma, the Absolute―

the Almighty One and Unique;

Prophets the messengers of Providence are the same and similar;

the present Fulfiller the Best of the age

is the pioneer Exponent of the past―

the concentrated digest and Fulfiller of specific specifications

of all the Prophets the Forerunners;

only that conduct should be followed which fulfills Him―

nothing other;

pure realized wisdom, forefathers and all the past divine Souls

are to be revered―

not to be neglected any way;

existential habits of the specific group of distinctiveness

of different characteristics

that enhance being and becoming

are to be performed daily;

to be married properly and correctly in equal clanship

maintaining compatibility and hypergamously

is best for upliftment and elevation―

but hypogamy is normally a destructive demon

of frivolous Satanic outrage.

ACQUAINTANCE WITH HUSBAND’S TEMPERAMENT

Though your husband likes you

if you are not acquainted

with your husband’s temperament,

condition and needs,

if you do not feel it,

certainly he will be disappointed with you

in his conversations, discussions

arguments and judgment,—

you will not get proper response

to your words,—

as a result, you will not be able

to make his mind

cool, calm, satisfied and elated,

thus both of you

will become aggrieved;

so, I say again—

do know him

in each and every way.[91]

DISTRACTION FROM HUSBAND

If you really be a wife—

do never be distracted

from your husband—

don’t reduce him to ashes

in the fire of your own destruction.[90]

ATTNETIVE LOVE FOR HUSBAND

Be cautious—

let your love for the husband

remain attentive

and full of inspiration,—

so that coming into your proximity

he becomes indomitable

in the service of the

Ideal and environment—

upsurges in practicality,—

don’t arouse diffidence in him,

don’t make him narrow,

don’t ever make him engaged

in your selfish interest,—

bliss, fame and peace

shall adore both of you.[89]

DIVINITY IN HUSBAND

Consider your husband

as the deity—

and ‘the deity’ means

that or he

who standing bright before your eyes

is making your mind

bright and delighted;

be careful

that by your service, behaviour

or erroneous influence

this doesn’t become smudged,—

be the fuel

of his glow and happiness—

but not so much or in such a way

that it be weighed down

and goes out.[88]

LORD— IN THE UPHOLDMENT OF LIFE’S EXISTENCE

The Lord or the Ideal or the Guide

is that or He

aiming at whom,

following whom

one can gain progress successively

in life, glory and growth,—

and because,

the inclination or the devotion

remains attached to Him,

the environment and the world

cannot create any distraction in one

but make enriched in knowledge,—

thus—

it is so essential for life

to be concentric

towards the Ideal or the Guide;

so, the first and foremost need

of one’s constant endeavour in Dharma is

the Lord, Ideal or Guide,—

and to adhere to Dharma

or to become virtuous

one should have devotion for Him

and following and practicing

according to Him,

that also with such a character

that this devotion or attachment

create such an inspiration

in the husband and

everyone belonging to the family

so that they become awakened and inspired;

and only if you can become such

shall your wifehood be meaningful,

you shall find—

you shall be illuminated

by illuminating all.[87]

ENJOYMENT IN THE SERVICE OF HUSBAND

The more your service,

devotion and inspiration

shall elevate and enthrone

your husband the deity

on prosperity,—

the more in a grand way

he shall appear before you—

and this—

everyday in new ways

in fresh manners;

so, you also unknowingly—

in this way through enjoying him

everyday in a new way

in a fresh manner—

how and in what way

shall become great, glorified,

an embodiment of good

and adorable for the world—

you cannot even comprehend.[86]

WORSHIP & AFFECTION IN SERVICE

Do uphold and worship the superior,

show affection to the younger

and elevate—

serve all and everyone

in a proper suitable way.[85]

CONDUCT OF DHARMA

Dharma stands for that

what in fact upholds—

i.e., doing which or practicing which

or cherishing which feeling

one’s life and growth

remain intact and unobstructed;

if you adhere to dharma,

you shall find

that it is automatically spreading

in your husband and family,

because, the urge of a man

tries to fulfill

what a woman desires—

and so also a woman

with her characteristic

behaves the same

towards a man;

so, you shall see—

your that adherence to Dharma

is awakened

in their character too

without their knowing it,

and as a result of this

malady, grief, distress and poverty

is gradually diminishing

and your family is approaching

prosperity and progress.[84]

SUITABLE HUSBAND FOR A YOUNG GIRL

The husband of a young girl

should be of such an age

which indicates the end of his youth

and beginning of his middle age,—

by this the vitality of woman

is transmitted into the man

and the vitality of man

is transmitted into the woman

thus generating a harmony

enervates the decay;

so, there is in scripture—

such marriage is conducive to Dharma

i.e., promoting life and growth.[83]

DIFFERENCE OF AGE IN MARRIAGE

Don’t think the one

whom you may select as your husband

as just a friend,

rather think him

as the deity,

as the guide;

the nearness of feelings and age

usually reduces the distance

of one’s understanding and receptivity,—

so, the difference of age

between husband and wife

should be such

at which age

a man can have his first child.[82]

FEELING & RESPONSIBILITY OF A WOMAN IN REGULATING THE BREEDING

Among the many urgencies of marriage

good breeding is a prime one,

and this good breeding is regulated

by the feeling of a woman—

that stimulating a man

makes him tending;

hence, woman should be wedded

with such a man superior in all respects

only after considering

that by bearing and by upholding whom

she can be gratified and blessed;

therefore me seems

that it is fair enough to

let the woman have the responsibility

of selecting her man,—

isn’t it?

yourself considering this properly

and consulting your superiors

do select your husband.[81]

MARRIAGE— HYPERGAMOUS & HYPOGAMOUS

Just as hypergamy

begets superiors,

similarly hypogamy

augments degeneration;

therefore, hypogamous marriage

is such a sin—

that not only

it destroys one’s own lineage

in destruction,—

besides it forces the surroundings or society

to take to the way of devastation;

the deliverance of an unchaste woman

rather is possible,

but it is very difficult

to rectify the depravity of hypogamy.[80]

URGE TO SERVE AND PRAISE IN SELECTION & MARRIAGE

If the wholeheartedness for the Ideal

and superiority in all respects

of a man

makes you stoop and bow down

with regard and devotion

and impels you to be gratified

by serving him—

songs of whose praises

surging out from the heart

pour out through the lips,

you can select him,

you can sacrifice your self to him,

gaining yourself as his spouse

you shall be blessed

by praising and serving him—

there is no doubt about it.[79]

BLESSED BRIDE

If you consider such a man—

who is competent and

superior to you in all respects—

to bear in such a way—

that in no way

he may deviate from

life, glory and growth,

then be his bride—

you shall be able to be a chaste wife—

you shall be dignified.[78]

SELECTION OF A CHOSEN

The man

who is superior to you

in all respects

and worthy to be chosen

by all your ancestors abiding in you,—

and with whom

the temptation to sacrifice yourself

to the Ideal

has made you indomitable—

through the excitement of

enduring and bearing him—

be you the bride of him—

you shall be blessed.[77]

THE CAPACITY TO BEAR IN MARRIAGE

To bear in a proper way

is called marriage,

if the one who bear—

in however much way

this bearing can be happened—

is not capable

in all respects— in every matter

than the one to be borne,

then how shall it be possible?

submit yourself only after considering

whether the one—

to whom you are praying

to bear you in all respects—

is competent enough

to fulfill your that prayer,—

you shall snap out of downfall,

pain and shock.[76]

LEWDNESS FOR WOMAN

Wherever you see

that even a man is superior to you

in lineage, clanship, knowledge etc.

has become crazy

to get you as his wife—do doubt him,—

such a filthiness, incoherence and unstableness

are hidden like a thief

in his temperament or character

that no one can easily grasp it;

your offspring will never be good

if such a man becomes inclined to you,

even if he bears you physically

you will be left distraught at heart—

so, there is doubt

whether you can be happy or not

with him;

don’t lean upon—

observe very cautiously and consider.[75]

THE EXCELLENT GORUND OF SELECTION

On the basis of

this clanship and heredity

where the feeling, learning,

character and behaviour is

developed and sacred,—

that is the excellent ground

for you to select;

keep in mind—

however your love is entrusted

anywhere in any manner—

the result will sprout up

in the similar manner—

there is doubt about it,

understand and proceed.[74]

COSIDERATION IN SELECTION

Do look into while selecting—

what or how is your husband’s ideal,

whether the temptation to become fulfilled

through his adoration

by sacrificing yourself

into the fire of effort and activity

is alluring you or not;

and how and to what extent

he is

whom you want to select—

because, you are going to become

his companion of existential uphold;

if you feel awakened to it—

and if he— who is your selectee—

is superior to you

in race, clanship, family and knowledge

—in every respect—

and if you consider him

as venerable to your forefathers—

then— you know for sure—

that by selecting him

you shall be able to abstain

from the hands of disaster.[73]

UPLIFTMENT & GOOD BREEDING IN MARRIAGE

Marriage fulfills

the two main aspirations of man,—

one of these is upliftment

and the other is good breeding,—

inappropriate marriage

withers both;

beware!

don’t consider marriage a plaything—

with which your life and reproduction

is associated.[72]

CULTURAL HEREDITY IN SELECTION

Love for the Ideal

rops up in a man

from his regard and devotion,—

and the perception and knowledge

that sprout up

getting inspiration from Him

after performing duties

and rendering service

— are transmitted into the

fundamental temperament of the child

through which

his nature is created,

and that is verily

his primal instinct;

this very instinct of his

accumulating the desired ingredients

from his environment

becomes developed

and evolves as a man;

thus, the fundamental component

of man’s development is

this cultural heredity

which is sprout up

from the love for the Ideal

from generation to generation;

in the matter of selection

where this cultural heredity is superior

ought to be preferred and revered;
