    INTRODUCTION

    Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra was most eager to promote

    harmony in human society as a whole, and real harmony can

    come into being only when people move with a commonpurpose. With perfect vision he sawand taught usthat in

    fact there is one goal of life for all, which is lifes Source, and

    one path on which life grows towards the goal. He knew that

    views of the path and the goal may be varied; but he warned

    us that the differences in peoples views must never obscure

    the fact that the well-being of each individual is interlinked with

    that of his environment and the well-being of each group,

    society and nation is interlinked with that of others. To live and

    grow ourselves we must do what we can for others life andgrowth.

    Because of the great benefit of understanding the

    interdependence of people and their basic unity of purpose

    and the great danger in ignoring these truths, Sri Sri Thakur

    wanted some of his Messages regarding them to be collected

    from his various books and made available to everyone in a

    small volume. Shri Devi Prasad Mukhopadhyay made the

    collection with the advice of Sri Sri Borda who as Pradhan

    Acharya leads Satsang in following Sri Sri Thakur. It waspublished in Bengali in 1968 under the title JEEVAN-DEEPTI,

    which was given by Sri Sri Thakur. At the inspiration of Sri Sri

    Borda it was translated into English by Shri Prafulla Kumar Das,

    Shri Devi Prasad Mukhopadhyay, Shri Arun Kumar Ganguly,

    Gary Dichtenberg and I. May these Messages be read and

    followed so that Sri Sri Thakurs purpose is fulfilled. Adorations to

    Fulfiller the Best.

    Satsang wants manin the name of the One Supreme Creatorof all beings,

    God, Khoda or Existence,

    Whatever you call Him.

    Satsang does not think in terms of

    Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist ;

    regarding each and everyone

    as a child of Him alone,

    Satsang wants to make allsubmissive to that One.

    Satsang does not think in terms of

    Pakistan, Hindustan, Russia, China, Europe or

    Americaeither-

    Satsang wants man, every individual of mankind

    whether Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist

    or whatever

    to be gathered in His Nameat the clarion call ofPanchabarhi*

    in pursuit, nurture and fulfilment,

    in elevating offering,

    in mutual compassionate co-operation

    and in an uplifting, efficient and industrious

    go of life

    so that everybody by proper work

    earning their food and clothing

    can survive,

    maintaining distinctiveness of beingand moving in the way of becoming,

    so that everyone can understand

    that everyone belongs to him,

    so that no one can think

    that he is helpless, penniless, shelter less,

    so that every single person can say courageously

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    6/29

    with active co-operative zeal of love

    "I am everyone's

    and everyone is mine".

    Satsang wants the greatest co-operation

    between states

    so that there is not the least flaw

    in anyone's existential becoming

    and so that each and everyone

    can move on freely

    in this world

    in one accord

    with self-elevating, efficient and active,

    progressive go of service,

    growing in integrationthat is mutually fulfilling

    being illuminated with the inspiration

    that cultivates the good,

    with an eye to fulfilling that Ideal man

    being meaningful in that unparalleled One.

    ( Dhriti-Bidhayana,Vol-I, 394)

    *Panchabarhi -Five fires symbolizing the five disciplines for

    becoming: service to Almighty one, the seers, the grouping of the

    varieties of similar instincts, devoutness to the forefathers that followed

    the existential path, and self dedication to the present Fulfiller the Best.

    Whether they are Hindus, Muslims or Christians,

    particularly Hindus, Muslims,

    Christians or whatever

    of this India,

    each ones blood descend;

    from a different lineage of the same stock.Dharma enlightens mankind in a progressive go,

    binds mankind together in harmony,

    upholds mans existence

    on the path of culture,

    in the becoming of his being,

    in sustaining adjustment

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    7/29

    it leads toward God

    in a meaningful co-ordinating progressive upliftment.

    Dharma does not corrupt blood,

    does not break unity

    rather it uplifts everybody to the supreme

    Oneness,

    Maintaining every individual distinctiveness

    in a progressive powerful becoming

    nurturing the specific characteristics

    in supreme co-operation that fulfils existence,

    in self-adjustment leading to mutual fulfilment,

    in work, in preparedness

    in profitable nourishing fulfilment.

    Those who damage this blood compactness

    deceive becomingwith a destructive self-aggrandizing run,

    cause tumultuous waves of disuniting rebellion

    and an anti-evolutionary revolution

    putting a mask of truth

    on the visage of falsehood.

    They forget

    or wilfully cover their own eyes to the fact

    that each Prophet

    is the manifested recurrence of the fact

    upholding, nurturing and protecting lifes

    movement,

    an instrument carrying the one Message

    of that Supreme Fulfiller ;

    to slander anyone of them

    means to oppress each one of them.

    Arent those who propagate the

    tidings of separation

    messengers of destruction ?

    Are they not worshippers of Satan ?Are they not of debilitated blood ?

    Dont they ravage existence or chastity ?

    If we are men,

    if we really love existence,

    if we think it best

    to be worshippers of becoming

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    8/29

    before the living Altar of God,

    we want to become meaningful in God,

    whether we are Hindu, Muslim, Christian

    or whatever,

    we should never tolerate this deviation

    in any respect,

    but must use the limitless power of life

    to frustrate its every step.

    One who ignores blood

    ignores Dharma,

    one who ignores Dharma

    ignores God ;

    we are to crush this movement

    against blood, Dharma, and God

    with all resoluteness.Whether Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Christian,

    Jew, Sikh, Jain, or whatever,

    we want everyone

    those who obey God,

    and obey the Ideal man who fulfils,

    and respect their lineage, that is,

    the forefathers,

    who believe in the oneness of God,

    have regard for the unicentric consolidation

    and are enlightened by elevating self-regulation

    that nurtures individual distinctiveness.

    Gathering in the shelter of that One,

    making everybody prosperous

    with mutual co-operation,

    we want to live and grow

    in life, wealth, service and fellowship.

    By moving freely in the world

    we want to enjoy life

    with perfect knowledge of well-being.With food and clothing,

    in profitable becoming,

    with advancing steps

    increasing efficiency more and more,

    we want to live

    exalting special characteristics

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    9/29

    and individual distinctiveness

    with upholding laws

    in nurturing, nourishing and

    fulfilling existence.

    We want to live, grow and enjoy life,

    taking pleasure in mutual adoring service,

    being exalted with radiance.

    Those who bring disaster and opposition,

    destruction and agitation,

    make life fragile ;

    we want to resist them, stop them, restrain them

    we want to hinder their every advancement.

    Why say it is far away ?

    It was not long ago

    that with Hindus and Muslims combinedin conspiracy

    we dethroned Siraj, the Nawab of Bengal

    and demolished him,

    crushing him to death ;

    helping the English,

    we handed the country over to them,

    thin act might have been virtuous or vicious

    but even then

    during the initial stage of the British regime

    the Hindus did not live the Muslims,

    nor did the Muslims leave the Hindus

    can it be that this togetherness

    has created the cruel excitation

    of this suicidal revolution ? *

    Again, how could this make men mad

    in a heinous dance of terrifying distorted

    adulterous drama ?

    This was known to us

    the Muslim cannot leave the Hindu,and the Hindu cannot leave the Muslim ;

    whatever faith one may follow,

    to whatever stage of life one may belong,

    we are all fellow-travellers

    on the path of life.

    In days like these,

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    10/29

    though our hearts are full of suspicion,

    though the knowledge of oneness

    is torn asunder,

    still understanding peeps

    effort can still bring a day

    which we can greet

    with a rejoicing welcome.

    (Charya-Sukta, 52)

    * The Muslim-Hindu conflict that led to partition of India.

    Those who move on following Panchabarhi

    and regulate their lives accordingly

    with a progress-promoting welcome

    to the all-fulfilling Ideal,Dharma and culture,

    are Aryanised in all respects ;

    so they are Aryans

    bearing the traits of their seed

    whatever they may be

    worshippers of Lord Vishnu, Goddess Kali, Lord Shiva,

    the Sun, Ganapati,

    worshippers of Tantra faith,

    Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Muslims or Christians.

    (Aryya-Kristi, 134)

    This is what I understand

    byIshwarI mean

    the nurturing and protecting Agent

    who nurtures and protects us.

    By Khuda I understand

    the Supreme,

    He who upholds us properly,Also, the word God

    derived from the root Hu,

    meaning worship

    means He whom we invoke

    in our difficulties and troubles,

    sorrows and sufferings,

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    11/29

    He to whom we pray for strength

    so that we may get rid of miseries

    and become exuberant, illuminated

    and unhampered in existential go.

    So you say

    all these are the attributes of Ishwar (God) ;

    therefore I say

    everybodys Ishwar is the same.

    We pray to Him

    prayer means to move in an appropriate

    and excellent manner

    by which maintain, enrich

    and illuminate our existence.

    Whatever anyone may say,

    Ishwar has no partner ;He is the sole Master

    of the totality of existence

    including all individuals

    of the whole universe.

    By moving in accordance with the laws

    and principles which the Seers and Great Ones

    have declared to us

    and by accepting Him who is the Saviour and Master

    of our being and becoming

    and doing and moving in accord with Him

    in a conscientious way,

    we can acquire existential well-being,

    So, whatever anyone may say,

    whether you call him a Hindu, Muslim,

    Christian or anything else,

    Anything anyone may do with Ishwar as goal

    is worship of the One.

    About Allah it is

    that the Atharva Veda called Him Allahand that Allah means

    He who receives all that exists.

    So you see

    we try to make God have a partner

    by giving prominence to the sect.

    Is there any other form of inordinate selfish greed

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    12/29

    Like this ?

    In fact, in essence,

    we invoke the self-same One

    for exalting the agility of our existence

    and for making it blissful

    according to our individual tradition, custom or mode.

    When we ignore a Hindu, a Muslim or a Christian

    in our effort to pursue God

    do we not in fact ignore Him ?

    For worshiping divine attributes

    we foolishly divide the upholding glow

    of the Upholder and the Lord of the world

    with an obnoxious outlook.

    Does this ever become meaningful ?

    It never does.Communities may grow

    around the observance of customs,

    food habits and marital relations etc. ;

    we feel the divine glow

    in and through the existential customs,

    forms of worship and ceremonies

    prevalent to different times and climes,

    suiting individual circumstances and tastes.

    When you as a Hindu

    are not helping a Muslim to live and grow,

    when you as Muslim

    are not serving a Hindu in attaining

    growth and becoming,

    when you as a Christian

    are not striving for the becoming

    of a Hindu or a Muslim,

    when you are not sympathising with him,

    when you are not saving him from danger

    with serviceable endeavour,in whatever language, or with whatever expression

    you may manifest this attitude

    that is the moment that you are ignoring God.

    Even if you simply punish an evildoer

    without trying to correct him

    that also in my opinion

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    13/29

    amounts to the same offence.

    You observe daily prayer

    or perform namaz*,

    Do you not purify yourself

    according to the instructions

    given by your Seer or Prophet ?

    I think that the custom of purification

    before worship

    declaresbe purified, pray of God,

    be disciplined, be nourished in love,

    being inspired to the good, exalt each and everyone

    with an apt nurturing glow

    in an all-fulfilling agility

    nurturing specific distinctiveness

    with loving serviceable compassion,and this will be a practical dedication of your life

    to God.

    Ignoring this, you may create millions of communities

    but that will intensify

    division-provoking Satanic growth,

    and heaven will turn into a non-entity for you.

    So I say

    if you are a follower of Dharma

    everybody will become your divine wealth,

    and if you are against of Dharma

    or in any other way,

    you will be the object of the cruel stare

    of a Satanic blaze.

    Keep in mind

    inspite of the differences of opinion among men,

    nobody can be alienated from the Dharma of God,

    but they can be alienated from the

    Dharma of Satan

    though there may be many differencesin the existential tradition and family culture

    of different individuals ;

    and Dharma means upholding conduct,

    conduct for being and becoming

    and conduct for the perfect knowledge

    of well-being.

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    14/29

    Prophets or Advents, whatever you call Them

    are Nurturers of specific characteristics

    and all-fulfilling,

    nowhere do They countenance divisive complexes ;

    They do according to the necessities

    of time, place and persons ;

    They move on with an apt co-ordination

    with the previous Ones ;

    those who make a division among these Prophets

    are still in the grip of distortion.

    In fact, the real worshippers of God,

    who are disciplined Hindus, disciplined Muslims,

    and disciplined Christians,

    are united in a cordial active pursuit ;

    however many names God may have,all Prophets are worshippers of the same One ;

    though there may be some differences among Them

    according to Their order

    in the sequence of evolution.

    This is what I understand

    with my humble intellect ;

    so I say

    is it good to bewilder people

    for the sake of sects ?

    (Adarsh-Binayak, 111)

    * Namazthe prayer of the Muslims to Allah.

    5

    He who is fulfiller the Best of the present age

    is Nurturer of individual distinctiveness

    and all-fulfilling ;

    He is the Kohinoor of the past Prophets,

    and furthermore, He is the inspirationthat welcomes His future Advent.

    (Adarsh-Binayak, 198)

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    15/29

    Dharma is One

    and Dharma means

    moving in a way that upholds, protects

    and exalts existence,

    and to keep on going in accordance

    with this discipline

    is the practice of Dharma ;

    this practice of Dharma is of the same kind for all,

    irrespective of individual nature

    or the language one speak ;

    by pursuing it, man,

    according to time, place and individuality,

    becomes exaltedthrough the unfoldment of his being

    and can move himself forward

    along with his environment

    in all respects

    towards healthy becoming,

    achieving uphold, nurture and becoming

    of existence

    with proper and perfect knowledge,

    being endowed with love for people,

    with steps towards balanced union ;

    and it includes the proper vision

    of the laws of upholdment,

    by following and observing which

    becoming can be made exuberant

    in benign essence.

    And the central figure of Dharma is the Acharya

    who has achieved consummation

    by practicing, observing and realizing

    these clues.And the centre of Dharma is

    the integrated knowledge of Dharma is

    knowing and adopting that,

    fulfilment can be reached

    by adjusting the becoming with proper skill,

    and the way to that

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    16/29

    is the Knowerthe Acharya ;

    and verily He is God, Ishwar, Brahma

    wherever you say

    as an expression to indicate Him

    this is fact,

    to speak truly,

    all of us, whether calling Him

    Allah, Vishnu or Ishwar,

    are worshippers of the One ;

    worshipper means one who with

    unrepelling adherence

    lives in the presence of the Acharya,

    and attains proper progressive becoming,

    with conduct, behaviour, movements, words and all

    and indefinitely prolongs his life,that is,

    builds up his life for a very long time,

    making himself healthy, pure and beautiful.

    Move on

    adjusting yourself in concentric agility

    in words, deeds, thoughts and movements,

    in all respects

    being an enlivening light

    for the entire environment

    and making everyone of the environment

    an enlivening light to you

    this is the whole matter.

    The basic centre of everyones life-urge is one,

    so One is object of our worship,

    and whoever advances towards Him by any means

    does have corresponding fulfilment

    engraved in his character

    with a lightning lustre

    with an adjustment of characterand active graceful excellence

    emanating from his sonorous conduct

    and this is the consummationfor all.

    In the world of reality you may find even now

    an Aryan Seer, a Muslim Seer, a Christian Seer

    following the same standard ;

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    17/29

    in fact they are all Aryans,

    and Aryans are those who move on

    with Ideal-centric practice of self-culture,

    avoiding clashes and deviations

    that hamper existence ;

    their sayings, their ways, their conduct,

    behaviour and adjustment

    are of the same type

    with a realized generous go ;

    of course their languages may differ.

    By serving them no Hindu becomes a Muslim

    no Muslim becomes a Hindu,

    no Hindu becomes a Christian,

    and no one is converted ;

    from this service evolves the knowledgethat is devoted to the Ideal

    and this constitutes the glow

    of knowledge.

    This is no symbol of social status ;

    rather it is the wealth of consciousness

    that belongs to samadhi *

    attended with thorough conception ;

    and this may be likened to the knowledge attained

    by different successful and devoted scientists

    according to their perception,

    which has a glowing resonant tune

    vibrant with knowledge

    born of cognate concentration ;

    its stand is the light of activity

    inspired by proper internal and external move.

    If people follow their traditions

    and hygienic principles,

    marry in similar families,

    particularly maintaining compatibility of clan,if improper marriage does not take place,

    if they procure and use food with

    benign adjustment

    and observe family customs,

    existential practices etc.

    with a concentric go

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    18/29

    and attentive adherence and devotion

    without being distorted by distractions,

    with readiness to serve the people

    according to circumstances

    whether they are Hindus, Muslims or Christians

    or whatever

    they are all followers of the same Dharma ;

    there can be no conflict among them ;

    mutual friendly relations and behaviour

    may continue among them,

    no damage being done to any race, varna or country.

    And if there is any conflict

    then take it for certain

    that they are moving in way

    which brings conflict ;those who move in a conflicting way

    consider deviation as ideal conduct ;

    sincere self-culture

    can hardly be found in them.

    Again listen to what I say

    proper make-up of lifes stay

    depends on proper diet ;

    that is why the rules and customs

    and the regulation of diet

    should be fulfilling and nurturing to specific

    characteristics

    contributing to existential health ;

    the diet should in no case become

    rajashik or tamashik * ;

    it should be so adjusted

    that it becomes fulfilling

    to what is proper to existence

    both in individual and family life ;

    you have to go on following this path,adjusting culture,

    and reflecting its meaningfulness in personality,

    and you are see

    that your move fulfils

    your existential family traits

    and becomes consonant with your culture.

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    19/29

    Whatever you may do

    ignoring the performance of these things,

    will lead to failure

    and this with its evil-belching mouth

    will gradually shatter the being, the society,

    and the nation that one has

    in a whirpool of destruction,

    So Beware !

    (Dhriti-Bidhayana, Vol.II, 326)

    *Samadhi -- when the mind is absorbed completely in conceiving anything

    thoroughly.

    *Rajashik or tamashik --existence exciting or existence depressing.

    7If there are people who think or call others

    kafer or heathen

    even though the latter obey God,

    Ideal and Dharma

    and follow them according to their capacity,

    they must be understood to be people in whom

    the spirit of the kafer or heathen predominates ;

    they are prone to do evil at any moment.

    (Dhriti-Bidhayana, Vol.I, 388)

    8

    Among Christ, Buddha, Chaitanya, Rasul

    And Krishna you make some difference ;

    Dont you know theyre the Same come down

    For suffering creatures deliverance ?

    (Anushruti, Vol.I, Ideal, 77)

    9

    If people consider the ProphetsHazarat Rasul or any other Prophet

    previous or subsequent to Him

    to be mutually contradictory,

    they err.

    They never contradict one another ;

    rather They fulfil each other

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    20/29

    because each One of Them is an inspired exponent

    of the One and Unparalleled.

    To the casual observer

    there may appear to be differences

    in the existential laws

    obtaining according to time, place

    and individual variations,

    but if they are conscientiously considered

    in their proper perspective

    solution will be spontaneous.

    So do not try to find difference among the Prophets

    but take your stand on your cultural characteristics,

    collect all-fulfilling factors from them

    and evolve yourself from more to more.

    The manifestation of every individual Prophet,whether past or present,

    is the manifestation of the self-same God ;

    so if every present Prophet

    does not accept every past Prophet as fulfilling

    and does not Himself fulfil Them,

    then Those of the past cannot appear in Him

    nor can they be integrated in Him.

    Those who contradict past Prophets are alien ;

    Those who fulfil Them are our own.

    (Adarsha-Binayak, 80)

    10

    Youll lose your caste by worshipping

    Rasul ? Who says such a thing ?

    How is it that you forget

    Rasuls the same as your other Prophets ?

    11

    The advent of the most fulfilling Acharyathe Prophet or the supreme spontaneously

    realized person

    is not bound to happen in some fixed place

    through some definite convention ;

    neither is it fixed that He is to appear

    in some particular organisation of Dharma

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    or religion ;

    He may appear in a rich family, a very poor family,

    a very low family or a very high family.

    But it is certain that,

    wherever or in whichever lineage He appears,

    every Prophet is generally full of normal, spontaneous,

    regardful, Ideal-centric compassionate urge ;

    and He appears

    where the call of the masses for rescue

    becomes concentric and resonant

    with an exuberance of unquivering zeal.

    Again, He appears in a country

    where the leaders of society

    create such a dangerous commotion

    that the existence-protecting ardent urge of the peopleupheaves with a heavy sigh,

    with an unknown longing,

    and keeps praying for help,

    saying, Come and save us!

    and that is the harbinger of His advent.

    So His advent is not bound

    to take place in any particular community,

    society or collective body

    in accordance

    with our fixed conceptual formula ;

    because He is

    the Fulfiller of all communities,

    of all societies and all religions,

    the Exponent of existential progress,

    the Ordainer of principles for the people

    nurturing distinctiveness and individual liberty.

    The fact is

    where the craving of the world

    waits with a mute pain-strickenconcentric eager desire,

    with a frightened look,

    with a harmony of words, behaviour and actions

    that is where His advent is most likely to take place.

    Again I say,

    do understand with thorough adjustment

    Ishwar has no community ;

    Prophets do not appear aiming at any

    community either,

    so neither do they have any community.

    Whether speaking of a Hindu, a Buddhist,

    a Muslim or a Christian,

    everyone is a worshipper of Dharma.

    All the Prophets are Nurturers of distinctiveness

    and all-fulfilling ;

    They exalt distinctiveness into distinction

    with greater and greater effulgence.

    Individual difference does not exist,and there is also a unified consistency

    of these differences ;

    in the world there are no two exact equals,

    but, though there are no exact equals,

    there are similars ;

    in a word, every being has a manner of its own,

    has the bond of race, varna,

    attributes and activities,

    has special distinctiveness

    with adjusted attributes and activities

    according to its specific tradition and culture ;

    and He is within everything, in all that exists,

    flowing with progressive life and intellect.

    He does not break any particular specification

    but fulfils every distinctiveness,

    so He is the eternal all-round Fulfiller

    of every specific characteristic ;

    therefore He is the all-fulfilling Nurturer of

    specific characteristics.Those who appear

    as Prophets or the Incarnation of the Supreme

    are the Descents of that One ;

    though appearing as men in human body,

    they are mercy-fountains

    to every individual of the whole world.

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    23/29

    The One who comes after another One

    is the new embodiment of the past One ;

    to ignore One is to ignore all of Them,

    because, though They are different,

    They are the same.

    We create a sect

    only to build a superstructure of blunders

    a society is made up of those

    who move together with one particular

    trend of thought

    in a progressive go

    according to nation, varna and individual characteristics ;

    Dharma lies in every individual life ;

    Everybody worships Him with proper accelerated go,

    with active agilityevolved out of his own intelligence

    which leads them towards the adorable Prophet

    or Incarnation of the Supreme

    in the way He likes

    creating an indomitable, elevating urge

    endowed with unrepelling adherence

    and active zeal.

    Each existence provides a compatible stimulus

    to all others

    through this, each one knows the others

    along with all the specialities in each of them

    with a glowing realization

    about each ones origin.

    Exalting each other through that adherence

    with active zealous service,

    everyone enjoys others

    with an easy graceful charm

    through unfoldment of intelligence.

    The evil and the injurious set them asunder ;so everyone, even in resisting the evil,

    remains full of fulfilling urge.

    Therefore I say

    keep in mind, do remember, dont forget

    God is One, Dharma is One ;

    as a man He manifests Himself

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    24/29

    with a particular make-up

    within a certain being ;

    whether He is called Prophet,

    Incarnation of the Supreme

    or Fulfiller the Best,

    that One is the human form

    illumined with attributes

    and bedewed with His practical consciousness

    of the spontaneously enlightened

    Upholder and Protector

    who is Ishwar, the Master ;

    and every Prophet comes to fulfil man

    according to time, place, individual and age

    in an enlightening pursuit of appropriate culture ;

    and those who are adherence-enlightenedin allegiance, active service and

    pleasing-painstaking attitude

    become successful

    in active worship enjoying what He gives.

    I say

    Thou too be fulfilled !

    (Adarsha-Binayak, 238)

    My benign Lord!

    Embodied Friend of God to me !

    I do not understand anything,

    the pride of knowledge by Your grace

    has been made impossible for me ;

    my only hope is the illumination of perception

    born of Your grace ;

    I am foolish and helpless,

    so, though I am unaware of it,

    Your grace inundates my heart.I am ignorant I do not understand what is

    meant by 'Miraj' *,

    the meaning of Miraj is not within my

    comprehension ;

    my only possession is Your gracious attitude

    towards my negligible self ;

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    25/29

    without faith in this and reliance on this,

    without the emergence of an understanding

    that completely leans on this,

    how shall I speak of You ?

    I do not know how, but I think

    the more aversion towards the world seized You

    the more the thirst for God

    became overflowing in You

    with an adherence-inducing agile move ;

    the pursuit of that exuberant overflow

    made You dispassionate

    toward the passionate crave of the world ;

    themore You became indomitable in Your

    love for God,

    the more the attachment to the worldbegan to leave You.

    When the overflowing fountain

    of that ardent maddening urge

    began to stir up the vibrations of your heart'

    as You went on saying,

    "Khoda, Khoda..."

    You could not stay quiet,

    You proceeded on a pleasantly vigilant night journey

    towards that temple of Jerusalem ;

    so far as I have heard this journey

    throbbing with exuberant love

    is called 'Azra' or 'Ezra'

    by holy and devoted great persons.

    You thought that You would loose yourself completely

    lying on the lap, effulgent with love,

    of the most gracious Supreme Being,

    constantly calling, "Khoda" ;

    sitting on a square stone,

    You became absorbedin the internal repetition of the name, Khoda

    with irresistible attachment ;

    His loving emotion gradually began to overpower

    and flood Your inner being ;

    that ardent exuberant loving active absorption

    that loving urge dwelling in Your heart

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    26/29

    assumed different forms

    and in the course of doing so

    made the form of a horse appear ;

    it was as bright as lightning

    with power, progressive go,

    and an existential glow

    effecting the appearance of the

    Messenger of God ;

    You, the Friend of God, rode on it ;

    You did not leave it despite many a rise and fall ;

    the slab of stone was placed on its back ;

    the horse had two wings and four legs

    and could fly in the ether,

    and its face was beautiful and bright

    like that of a womanI call it libido*

    and often I call it exalting love ;

    some call it Rooh*

    Thus when You came in contact with God,

    penetrating the lunar region,

    when His loving condescension embraced You,

    when His dictates became luminous like stars

    in Your mental horizon,

    You realized that He is like You.

    You are the Prophet, the Friend of God,

    the manifested Lord,

    the hallowed Embodiment

    dwelling in the bosom of God in blissful

    communion.

    I thinksaints and great men

    described Your upward sojourn as Miraj.

    Paying obeisance to God, You became conscious

    on the face of the earth,

    strong in Your discovery of exaltation ;You communicated to Him the woes of mankind

    to Your heart's content.

    You are the Stay of existential uphold ;

    You have spared no pains to do

    whatever was needful

  • 8/14/2019 Glowing Go of Life-I

    27/29

    to exalt the being and becoming of men.

    You have had the experience of Miraj many a time,

    and You have gained the nectar of

    inspiration from God accordingly ;

    and You have left no stones unturned

    to distribute that to every

    individual of the world

    through the glow of language, behaviour

    and loving existential effort.

    My benign Lord !

    I do not know, I do not understand.

    You are the Prophet of the world,

    the inspired embodied Friend of God

    the all-fulfilling Nurturer

    of specific characteristics,the Supreme Regulator of time,

    space and Individuals ;

    You are a holy symbol of all .past Prophets,

    and all past Prophets are Your

    sacred manifestations.

    This is my insignificant conception

    I do not know whether it will lead

    to the welfare of all,

    providing real inspiration,

    but it is certain that

    however insignificant I may be,

    whether I can express Your

    inspiration exactly or not,

    You will surely correct it ;

    You will see that-it does not cause any detriment

    in any way

    and that no one becomes deluded

    by a blundering conception.

    I have spoken hereas I have been -moved by the question of people

    and that in the way

    Your grace has unfolded my vision.

    Oh benign Lord !

    Forgive me, grant my existential prayer,

    do make my loving prayer pure,

    which is properly guided and coloured

    by existential feelings ;

    is His radiance blessing.
