1/17

today i start a seriese of discusion

name

message from sai

we see

rich

middle rich

middle

middle poor

poor

peoples in world

all type of people in the world

the fact is weather the person is rich or poor hardly any person is truly happy

superficially the wealthy seems to appear having a nice time

by contrast miserly has constant companion to the poor

how ever all are with out expectation full of intensity and insecurity

only the fears of rich and the poor are different

there are some people who are always happy with out having any worries of the world

some says the money is the key to happiness , and yet that does-not seems to be the case


2/17

at best all the money seems to garunties temporary pleasure

what then is the secret of real happiness

for decades swami telling us so many times

these days all rich and poor are cut out of nature

in ancient times this was not the case people live in the open and communed freely with nature

and he often wonder what all all these things i see every day

around me where did they come from

is there a purpose in all that exist or non at all

there is indeed a purpose the what exactly is that purpose

where did i come from

how did i fit into all this

is there any meaning and purpose to my life and ifso what is it

who determined that purpose and why

what is called knowledge immersed from the answer to the questions like theses

it is humans alone that have special ability

reflect , ponder , inquire ,investigate , reason, to seek solutions ,and to acquire knowledge . in other

words humans are unique , because they are having this amazing ability to be conscious


3/17

conscious of many thing including universe and all that it contain since god is the source of the

universe , every thing in it , including our capacity to be aware and conscious has naturally come from

god

so let us start from god himself

god the creator is abstract ,formless , eternal ,and best described as ultimate and ultimate

most religions proclaim that fact no question about it

on the other hand , most devotees of baba , tend to think of god in form of swami alone , baba himself

told , avatars are the embodied form the supreme one , special form tho

in other words a avatar is a god with form , which he assume for a specific purpose and limited timeonly , at the abstract level the supreme god is nothing but pure consciousness , that is y the vedas

declare " pra gya nam bramaa "

which means god is absolute or pure consciousness

since god is pure consciousness , and every thing including us come from him it is natural that some

aspects of consciousness is present in creation also

how ever consciousness is not visible to the eye there fore cannot see it

nor we can detect it by instruments either


4/17

consciousness is beyond the senses , that is he 1st lesson we must learn

nerveless this consciousness is present in the universe , further its power is immanent every thing in

the universe for the cosmos , volcanoes , avalanches , tiger , elephant , and even the tiny ant

baba says

for all there is 1 cause

baba describing bulbs

u can see so many bulbs hear

u can count

there are many bulbs

hear

there is only 1 current that flows in all this bulbs

that current is only the truth


5/17

it is the omnipresence of god baba describes

bulbs are many but current is one

jalaludin rumi a poet discribes in a poem

i died as a rock , evoved as a plant

i died in mineral

i was a plant

i died as a plant i was an animal

i died as an animal

i was a man

so he tells

y shell i fear when i died , but 1s more i shell die to be as an blessed angel

but even from angel-hood i must pass on


6/17

all accept god perishes

when i sacrifice my angel soul i shell become that which no mind never conceived

so let me not exist , for nonexistence proclamations to him we shell return

a question now becomes are we avare that we are come from god , and a life in the human form is

given to us so that we may go back to god

i am afraid most of us do not know that

baba tells we waste our lives with out even bothering to enquirer of such matters

which is y baba some times ask us and ans his question

he asks

who are you

and he gives the answer

you are the atma

where did u come from

from the suprime self


7/17

where are u supposed to go

back to the suprime self

baba then adds knowing this truth

engage your act

in the bliss of the supreme

also known as supreme self or as atma

God is omnipresent that means consciousness is present every where in the universe to the galaxies

to the ant

as scholars declared

1) consciousness sleeps in a stone

2) stares in a plant

3) AWAKES IN AN ANIMAL

4) AND FLOWERS IN A HUMAN


8/17

SO

consciousness expresses its self in humans at best

so human birth is very very special , because it is human only who can give highest expression to the

divinity latent with in

by the way swami often tells us of all the birth , the human form is a rare privilege and a special

blessing

the question now becomes how to what extent does consciousness flower in an human

before we see the answer to the question we need some back ground

swami says

every human being is made up of 3 distinct entities namely

gross body , suttle mind and the atma which is the couse for all

where does all these come from

let us start with the body


9/17

u and i will say

the body is made up of blood bones flesh etc , very true but flesh blood bones are made up of

molecules of various kinds

ans molecules in turn are made up of atom

ok but where do this atom come from

u know some thing every atom in every human body can be traces to all the way back in beginning of

the universe to the so called big-bang

which where the universe is supposed to have been born

by the way this is not some thing i am making up

this is what

morden science says

thus our body is verily connected to the beginning of the creation

thus our body is verily connected to the beginning of the creation

since creation came from the creator we can say our body really came from god


10/17

and u know what

just to contentiously remind us that we all came from him

god has decided to make our heart as his permanent residence

that is what swami himself often tells us

since atma is just another name for god and god dwells with in us

that also means atma is also a part of us

so of all that we learn , we not only body complete with senses , and the brain

but the atma with in us

of course

as a result we can not only speak of bodily jeans but also spiritual and divine jeans

the difference is the bodily jeans come from parents and through there ansistor , the divine jeans

come from god or atma

we are now left with question that we also have a mind dont we , where is that come from ,

we know all even animals have brains which is part of gross body of the animal concern


11/17

thus the rat has a brain the monkey has a brain , elephant has a brain and so on

the humans who are the end product of biological evolution have also a brain a very powerful brain in

fact

we are now left from a question

where is that come from

we know that all animals also have brain

rat , monkey ,elephant have brain

and so on

human who are end product of biological evolution also have brain

a brain very powerful infact

but they also have some thing much more than mear brain

that some thing is the mind

it is very difficult to describe mind , the mind is not merely brain that many think it to be

it is some thing extra that is shuttle

and between the gorse body and the causal atma

one may think of it as a interface of the body and the atma

an interface of the brain and the atma growing towards each other shell i say

the mind is extreamly powerful since

part of it grown out of the atma

so

so powerful is the mind that in geeta krishna tells arjuna

among the senses i am the mind

and in living being i am consciousness

it is this power of mind , directly derived from atma , which human evolved from their existence , and

few 1000 years attain amassing heights

that some thing is the mind


12/17

it is very difficult to describe mind , the mind is not merely brain that many think it to be

so

so powerful is the mind that in geeta krishna tells arjuna

among the senses i am the mind

and in living being i am consciousness

it is this power of mind , directly derived from atma , which human evolved from their existence , and

few 1000 years attain amassing heights

in fact so high the humans swod that they now totally dominate the planet

the mind is remarkable

in that it can focus attentions not only out side but also with in

thus it is the mind can ask who am i

the question that baba raises and discuses in discourses

to u and me this question may sound strange

but when swami is raising this question what he is asking is the following

of the three elements that make of your personality namely

body , the mind and the atma

which of these you identify your self with

who am i

who are u

baba says u r three


13/17

the 1 you think that you are physical body

the one other think you are mental body

the one you arally are that is atma

really are that is atma

you are atma swarupam

mind is like a mad monkey

dont fallow the mind , dont fallow the body , fallow the consciousness

that is your form that is love form that is true form

having been this true form we wander so many directions

what is that mean

what is the mean if we say i am the atma

what swami means that

our thought , word , deed should reflect that the fact that we are atma

to make us understands swami tells us

if a persons who is dominated by the body and the senses will be like a animal with a tendency

to be angry be cruel and so on

a person dominated by the mind in other hand likely to be claver intelligent , creative

but the mind dominated person could also be ambitious , conning , untruth ,unhuman , brutal , and so

on

in the worst case the person can even be truly demonic

what about a person who is tuned to the atma

how would that kind of person be

swami has discribed that person also

kind , very loving always compassionate ,ever ready to help , always smiling and so on

he would we the very embodiment of virtue and purity

thus that ring a bell


14/17

may be it does

yes

that description reminds us of swami himself

so that swami aften tells us your life should be my message

so easiest way to say is "" love all serve all "

do not think of hurting a peron

person

yet how many people we find who confound at this principals sadly

very few

y is that

that because

the mnd comes in the way

mind comes in the way

it distract our attention completely from swami teachings

swami often tells us

our mind can be good friend and show us the way to god

on the same hand that same mind can mislead us and hand us to the devil

thus mind can be a friend or and enemy if we are not careful enemy is what the mind will become

so what exact we should do to stair, turn the mind towards god

the answer is simple fallow swamis teaching

so now u can know y am i doing this small message serial

we will recall many things swami has telling us all this years

let us say our tourist has come thate are many cassino's , night clubs ,

the man sees a gambling then

feels a urgs to go and gamble


15/17

even tho he does not have much money with him

this is what temptation is all about

where exactly thus the temptation come from

temptations is a manifestation of Evil tendency larking in the dark corner of the mind

that is where it hides like cockcrows do

now

when do cockcrows come out of hiding

when it is dark and when there is no one around

in the same way temptation shows its ugly face when there is darkness of spiritual ignorance

so our friend the tourist is fall to the temptations of gamble perhaps make some money

some thing is telling him strong warning

not to fall to the temptaiton

what is that poor fellow to do

swami says what the man should do is simple

he must get in touch with his atma

this he makes via the pipe line called the buddhi

he should ask the atma my mind is telling me to gamble should i

or should i not

what ever the advice the atma gives it should faithfully fallow

atma would say u fool u came hear to do surtain purpose do not fall to the false attraction , it may drag

u to ruin

this is y swami says always fallow the master

your concise is your real master

--->consciences is your real master

conscience ,indweller , atma

all are the dif way to god who resides in our heart


16/17

let us go back to for a moment to buddhi for which we made

a reference

the simplest way to tell what bhudhi is all about is

it is a hot line to god with in

if the hot line is not kept in perfect condition we can not reach god when there is an emergency

obviously

so

how do one keep this hot line in working condition

swami has the answer as always he says

he says

always avoid bad company

avoid seeing what is bad

avoid hearing what is bad

avoid speaking what is bad

avoid hurting others no matter what the circumstances

make sure u always feel good and think good

make sure u always speak good and do good

very complected rules are they

they must be fallowed regularly remembering swami , god will be always watching

ok

1 does all that how does it help

in the following way if u

if u think u'r mind is misleading u

u can diel the hot line and ask your conscience

describing what the mind is asking you to do


17/17

then ask is it write or is it wrong

then ask is it right or is it wrong

is it selfish or is it selfless

is there any anger or jealousy involved

is there any cheating or dishonesty involved

will it harm any one

will it do good to others

and make them happy

finally

will god approve of what i am thinking of doing

if u ask all this questions sincerely u can bet , baba , swami , god , who is seated in our heart will guide us

properly

so there it is

it is up to now

2moro we shell go forward , continue

om sai ram
