PROLOGUE

It was the final hour of the last trading day at a

nearby local fair. I somehow managed to enter the officiallyclosed fair. The entire arena seemed wrecked with almostshredded infrastructure with the tired traders trudgingamidst dusty clouds. Some traders were busy uprootingtheir tents while some others were busy packaging theirunsold left outs, to be sold in some other fair. A few ofthem were dusting their sacs with the remainingbelongings raised on their heads. At the end of the vendingzone, I could hear a roar of laughter. When my eagernessdragged me there, I found some vendors washing theirhands merrily for their entire burden that belonged to themwas sold out and they never had to return back to anyother fair until they deliberately gather some new burden.Their satisfied faces made me happy too till my eyes rolledon a few saddened traders. Their well-decorated shopswere filled with unsold goods. Their degree of sadnesswas proportionate to the multifarious lights and attractingmusic of their shops. May be to attain that final solaceand return with washed hands, these loaded vendors haveto suffer infinite fairs. The entire place was cleaned withinhours before midnight, but the dying fair left an aroma offresh thought in my mind; and watered the forgotten feelingin the heart, the karmic basis of our very existence.

The outward happiness and worldly success can

never subside the gray of our lives, the inherent sufferings

that guide our lives to proceed further and suffer more. It

is because we deal with the objective effect without

analyzing the subjective cause. We exist and suffer due

to ourselves, our past deeds and will suffer due to our

present unless we nullify them. It requires us to be

conscious of our deeds and to dedicate them to the

inherent doer transferring the authority to Him without a

trace of ego. Until all the deeds pending are suffered

consciously and present deeds are dedicated, the soul

can never sail beyond the horizons of pain and sufferings,

revolving with the body in birth-death cycles timelessly.

We should mould our skeptical and egoistic lives to the

tune of Divinity and experience the ecstasy through

devotion to the Supreme Lord. The Lord comes down to

earth in flesh and blood as incarnations to preach us the

reality of this transient material world and the ways to liberate

to His lotus feet.

One such Divine incarnations who showed the

suffering mankind the light of salvation and made them

realize the infinite consciousness within, was Jagatguru

Thakur Shri Shri Shri Abhiram Paramahansa Dev. His

philosophy reveals the deepest secrets of Karmic theory

and analyses in greater details the principles of yoga,

Knowledge, devotion and liberation. This book comprises

of His Divine sayings which uncovers all delusions and

when practiced releases the bonded soul, baptizing the

mankind towards immortality. These eternal metaphysical

thoughts which embed within the essence of entire Vedic

literature, has been collected from His sayings which He

had taught to His devotees and saints during His self willed

mortal lifetime and Divine plays. Any errata may kindly be

forgiven as a misinterpretation of an amateur aspirant.

With reverence, I convey my heartfelt obeisance

to my parents, whose blessings bred inspiration in me to

initiate this noble work and whose enthusiasm made it

complete. I express my gratitude to my sister for her

unending delight and joy throughout the work. I shall remain

grateful to all my well-wishers for their support and

encouragement.

I am also thankful to the publisher for his eagerness

and effort in publishing it within schedule.

Lastly, I shall ever remain indebted at the lotus-

feet of Shri Thakur for guiding me in everything and doing

His work though me. Let the readers of this book and those

who promulgate these eternal sayings be blessed and

liberated by my ever-merciful Shri Thakur.

- The Author

Unconditionally everyone loves his own possessions

and never lets them get destroyed by their own means.

So is with the ever-merciful and benevolent Lord. He

loves all from the core of His heart. Often it is the mortal

who becomes unfaithful and mendacious towards his

master.

Heartfelt repentance for the past undedicated deeds

and blind faith on the Guru as his eternal well-wisher

are the pre-requisites for deliverance and unification

with the Supreme.

Until ‘me’ and ‘mine’ are consciously replaced with

‘you’ and ‘yours’, liberation is imaginary.

THE DIVINE DEWS

A Hymn for HIM

Cannot inhabit with Your inherited nature

for She has afflicted my Divine cores;

My recurrsive births will finally fructify

If You aptly deny not that I am Yours.

Renovate Your hidden presence in me

for I know not what my soul needs;

Slurry of ignorance is dragging me deep

I am snarled in unconscious deeds.

Your blessings will indubitably supercede

my sufferings amidst these alien crews;

I am spryly rejoiced and serenly hopeful

for I abide by Your eternal Divine Dews.

- The Author

Knowledge is the necessary and devotion is the

sufficient condition in the avenue of Divine realization.

You have to suffer for whatever you do, good or bad,

for attaining a higher birth through good deeds is also a

suffering. Dedicate all your deeds to the Lord and when

He becomes the doer, you don’t have to suffer for that.

‘I’ should be acquiesced for the innerself as a part of

the Supreme Self and not for the mutable mortal frame.

The initiation of a desire is due to the fulfillment of

some other desire. Be desireless. Even if the desire to

be desireless exists, you are not absolutely desireless.

Man dancing to the tunes of evil senses and trundling

for the fulfillment of material desires can never attain

Divinity and eternal solace, as a housefly can never

get nectar from a filthy wound.

Ignorance of the absolute reality is the primal cause

of all sufferings.

Man cannot be attached to the imperfect ever-

changing world and the absolute perfect at the same

time. He has to renounce one for the other.

Selfless devotion is the end of all knowledge and the

realization of the presence of Divine in the life-breath

is the end of all natal ignorance.

THE DIVINE DEWS 32 THE DIVINE DEWS

The macrocosm (brahmanda) resides implicitly inside

the microcosm (pinda). You and the universe are not

mutually exclusive; the external distinction is a mere

symbolic drama.

Successive birth is guided by the train of thoughts at

the time of death and nature of deeds performed in the

previous birth.

Those who awaken and raise their latent kundalini to

the highest level along the six nerve plexuses through

yogic trances witness divine play.

Be not desireful for anything in the world but for Self-

realization.


Never feel inferior of yourself by considering yourself

as the body. You are above the five elements, the

senses, the mind and the intellect. You are the

conscious and dynamic fragment of the Supreme Lord.

Maya or ignorance is the feminine derivative of the

Supreme Lord. Once the Self is realized, Maya looses

its existence.

Never hate or be jealous of anybody for the Divine that

dwells in you dwells in them too without any slightest

deviation. It is an act of foolishness to differentiate based

on the deeds performed by the perishable body and

the nature of thoughts by the imperfect mind.


The more you attach yourself with your body and

earthly relations, the more you sink down yourself into

ignorance and unavoidable sufferings.

All men take birth in this world to die, but a few

conscious and Self realized men die never to take birth

again.

The Supreme Lord tests His disciples in His own

unique ways. And the test becomes harder as the

disciple reaches higher levels of realization. Some

superficial performers get out-tracked molding

themselves into atheists. But the real and refined

karma-sanyasi’s get embraced by the Lord.

Heterogeneity of the universe is but the ignorance of

the reality.

The witnessing of duality (dwaityavada) is the means

and the realization of uniqueness (adwaityavada) is the

end for deliverance.

A dog bites a dry bone with the desire of meat. The

gums bleed and the dog thinks that the blood is from

the bone and bites even more firmly wounding the

gums even deeper. Similarly, the ignorant never

detaches himself from material desires and becomes

a slave to his grimy senses.


Without the grace and blessings of the Guru, even the

deepest study of spiritual scriptures and multi-

dimensional analysis of Godhead goes in vain.

Forget not that your have been mortal ized to

renunciate materiality and liberate the soul.

The paddy fields turn yellowish and dry during

scorching heat and seem lifeless. But a spell of rain

recharges it with new vigor and vitality. Blessings of

the Guru can show miracles and unbelievable

coincidences in a true devotee’s life.

Performing evil deeds is homogeneous with letting

others do the same.

Let not your heart be contaminated with hatredness,

jealousy and ego, for it is the abode of the beloved Lord.

Those who have completely surrendered themselves

unto the lotus feet of their Guru are hardly affected by

the satanic forces of the universe and the planetary

designs of their fate.

Let all your desires go unfulfilled and passions soiled,

but the desire to be in loving service of the Lord as a

servitor.

If your Guru is pleased with your Karma, there remains

nothing for you to do, in this and successive births.


Always make company with saints, sages and Self-

realized ones and never let your senses bank with evil-

minded ones. Then only your mind and the body will

gradually be purified from within through their holy

induction and Divine osmosis.

Escapists boast themselves for their good deeds and

announce their unsuccessful attempts and failures as

Lord’s wish. Their dependence on the Lord even in

their low times are mere pretensions and they always

remain at a greater distance from the grace of the Lord.

Every undedicated and unconscious breath taken is

liable for suffering in this or subsequent births.

Let the wandering feet of your mind march towards

the heart, the abode of the Lord, for boundless pleasure

and immeasurable peace.

All religions and sects are but different avenues to

realize and attain the same Supreme Lord. Only the

unqualified differentiate between them and wander

along the birth-death cycle for infinite ages.

The ever-merciful Supreme Lord will perform all

actions on your behalf and will guard from all evils, if

you are completely surrendered and dependent on Him

without a marginal trace of doubt.


The Jivatma, which is a fragment of the Paramatma

should experience the uniqueness of the Supreme Lord

through external meditation and should witness the

duality in Divine play through internal meditation.

What is destined to happen will happen. You suffer due

to your own karma. No one can modify your past deeds

and amend your suffering by forgiving your sins, but

your Guru.

There is indifference between your Guru and the

Supreme Lord. If you find any difference, it is due to

your fate, to suffer more.

As the sun remains hidden behind the dark clouds in a

rainy day, the Supreme Lord moves the universe behind

the veil of Maya. Only those blessed by the Lord realize

this transparency and enjoy the Divinity in the creation.

Desireless actions can only lead to liberation of the

soul. But in this Iron Age it becomes difficult to perform

these amidst of the diverting forces acting on the mind

and the body. Hence, go on dedicating your deeds to

the Lord as much as possible and you will reach the

desireless state thereof.

Hearts filled with pure love and devotion for the Lord

are at infinitely higher levels than the brains stacked

with dry intellectualism.


Taking mere birth in a higher caste does not make

anybody more finer and never helps in the upward

movement of the soul, but the deeds performed in this

and previous births.

Deeds performed through ajapa-sutra or in the chant-

less state are fruitless and thus the practitioner never

suffers for these effect-less causes.

Delay not in performing auspicious and pious deeds,

and hasten not in fulfilling the lower evil deeds. That

those who are at a distance from auspicious and

selfless deeds, never levitate to me.

It is only the consciousness, which can intervene in

the Divine play and unify the Jiva and Parama driving

the mortal to a chantless state.

Performing exhaustive rituals and outward spiritual

exhibitions are meaningless without unconditional love

and Divine emotion in the heart for your Guru.

Not attaining the desired objects and attainment of

undesired ones are the modes of suffering for the

ignorant. Whatever you have attained is what you really

deserve for and heartfelt acceptance of this is a sign

of spiritual refinement.


Direct all your diffused thoughts and discrete precepts

into Divine consciousness and make the vacillation of

the mind be fixed on your Guru.

The heart of the Lord is ever merciful not only for those

who are intensely devoted but also for them who flout

and are cruel; for He is equally concerned for all His

children, however they may be.

Never be a misogynist. Witness Divine mother in all

women for they are the sources of all affection.

Death of the physical body is never the end, till the last

unsufferred deed is suffered without desire.

The degree of awakening of inner consciousness is

proportional to the isolation of the mind from worldly

desires and the extent of dispassion for the earthly

attachments including ones own body.

The Lord accepts whatever, in every sense of the word,

if offered with fullest of devotion and without any desire.

You are a mere dumb instrument and I am the player. I

choose and play the tune according to my will and desire.

Your noble work should coincide with your words and

thought. Mere recitation of the word sugar will never

bring sweetness to the mouth.


Never wander insanely for the vision of the Lord. If your

devotion is perfect and heart stainless, the Lord will

appear before you in flesh and blood.

Convincing the atheist about the existence of Lord is

a sheer waste of time. Never attempt to change others.

You can’t, till they realize themselves. In turn they may

change your age-old belief. Stay away from them.

Dry intellects dictate that every thing in this creation is

unreal and ignorance. If it is so, their mind and intellect,

the derivatives of this creation are unreal. Then how

can be their thoughts be real and ideas be conclusions?

For the truly devoted, there is omnipresent Divine and

no ignorance.

The disciple, who engages himself in the loving service

of his Guru with reverential attitude, attains the highest

of Supreme knowledge.

There is no place where the Lord does not exist. The

creator always remains with his creation. It is the ego

that veils this fact through irrational logic and

asymmetric pseudo intuitions.

The probability of nullifying your karmic depositions

without the blessings of your Guru is void.

Don’t be conscious of others but of the Self, residing

within, which can nullify the sheaths of prarabdha karma.


To diversify is mortality and to unify is immortality.

Let your consciousness steer your intellect and the

intellect meditate on the dotty mind through the breath.

When the mind at this stage drives the nature through

the senses, the deeds become Divine.

It is neither a compulsion nor a necessity to renounce

your worldly deeds and duties for the path of Divinity.

Often this becomes an excuse for the laze. If your mind

is focused on the Lord, the bodily activities hardly make

any impact.

The elementary substratum of faith, devotion and

knowledge are not different.

The Divine plays on the breath in alternating solar and

lunar phases making unique vibrations; and those who

witness these through deep yogic practices go beyond

the binding orbit of Maya.

Devote yourself to the Lord as early as possible in this

awarded life, for there is uncertainty in another human

birth. Don’t waste births in gratifying the senses, and

don’t let your soul suffer more through bondage.

The water from the holy rivers can never wash your

sins away and please the Lord; but your tears of love

for the Lord. These tears from the precipitation of

heartily devotion, satisfies the Lord.


If all dogs will go to heaven, there will remain none to

lick the ophal leaves here.

Everything can be mastered through spiritual practices

and ethical austere lifestyle, but devotion or the Divine

emotion, which can only be attained by the blessings

of your Guru.

Expertise over Supreme knowledge by swatting large

volumes without spiritual experience goes in vain.

Those who deliberately expose their devotion for

pageantry and cachet, devastate their own selves with

their ego.

Only the knowledged realize that they are ignorant and

they exist in this material world because of their

ignorance.

You cannot hide or diddle anything form the vigilant

eyes of the omnipresent Lord whose relation with you

is pre-embryonic.

Devotion germinates from emotion and unconditional

devotion leads to salvation.

Our body is a temple. Slay all the lower modes of nature

like ego, anger, jealousy, fear and hatredness that

corrode it.


Ignore anything and anyone who come between you and

your Lord. And those who ignore these virtual intermediate

elements never get the pure perception of truth.

The emergence of a spiritually realized Guru into your

life marks the beginning of your internal purification

and ends in liberation.

It is a compulsion beyond doubt for the Lord to fulfill

the wishes of the true devotees, who have renounced

the world for Him.

The incidence of Guru’s blessings shows miraculous

and mesmerizing coincidences in a devotee’s life.

Never fall prey to the illusive design patterns of the

world. These will give you more sufferings by the

imperfect pleasure they radiate.

Never let your vital energy get minimized by serving

your unsatisfying senses. Deploy it to realize the infinite

consciousness and attain immortality.

If the dirge of the soul goes unheard, the prayers go

unanswered too, and you always remain asymptotic

to the objectless ecstasy.

As the tortoise withdraws its limbs, withdraw your

senses inward from outward falsity to serve the real

inherent doer.


A doll made of sugar gives the same sweetness when

any of its fragments is tasted. The akin exultation and

fragrance of Divinity can be experienced and felt from

any part of the creation.

Employ knowledge to wisely differentiate between the

intransient and the fleeting constituents of the creation,

as a royal swan segregates milk from water.

As the spoon remains unaffected inside the delicious

dishes, a karma-sanyasi remains unattached and

impassive to the deeds he performs even in the midst

of his bodily satisfactions.

Tame your uncontrolled wavering mind affecting the

Jiva by the goad of Supreme knowledge.

The disciplined minds, which remain suzzled by the

nectar of the Divine hardly, get sullied with sorrows

and lower desires.

To discard all that are worldly known is to gain true

knowledge about the uncreated and indestructible soul.

Be egoistic that you are the vassal of the Lord beyond time

and let this ego be envied by the imperfect material egos.


All rivers will merge in the ocean however diverging

and disastrous the route may be. Even those which

dryout on the way, join the stream through clouds.

Similarly all creatures will merge in me finally

irrespective of the number of births they take.

Human deeds are guided by the three modes (gunas)

of nature derived from ego and lets the mortal to suffer

in three-fold miseries (tritapa). Those who raise

themselves above these modes experience the

modeless Divine (nirguna Brahman).

Why you are worrying with the darkness of the night?

Have steady faith on your Lord and rejoice as the

darkness deepens; the dawn is nearing.

Rightly perform your duties before the dusk becomes darker

otherwise you will be left out till the glory of the sun shines.

In this Iron Age, confusion and suspicion prevails

concerning the identify of a Guru. Guru is beyond any

physical form and is an eternal principle.

There is hardly anything to chant externally; for the Divine

chant is performed on the life breath of a mortal from the

day his soul descends down. Only the rare know this

and become a conscious observer of this chant.

It is the joy of nature when the mortal un-naturally

forgets his source of which he is a conscious derivative.


As the spider patterns the web by its own secretion

and withdraws it by its own discretion, the Supreme

Lord creates and dissolutes His cosmic creation

through His own free will and desire.

The newborn cuckoo returns to his mother after taking

birth inside the crow’s nest. But the nourishment with the

crows never affects the sweetness of the cuckoo’s voice.

Similarly you, the part of the Divine can never be permanent

in this alien world and will return to your creator one day,

in your purest native form.

Never get deluded by parallel authorities of knowledge

and indulge in spiritual paradoxes. Abide with obedience

to a single authority and you will reach the Supreme

Being.

As the lotus remains unaffected amidst the sinking mud

and stinking mire, the immortal soul remains untouched

from the mortal body and the material creation.

Human birth is not to synthesize the mechanical

repetition of his mortality but to apparently synchronize

the Divine breath with the timelessly chanting infinite

Divine consciousness.

It is with the blessings of the Supreme Lord in the form

of Guru the devotee realizes that nothing in or above

this creation can liberate his soul by ceasing further

bodily manifestations, but the blessings of his Guru.
