How Europe may become majority Muslim + 4 more

Baba

How Europe may become majority Muslim 

Namaskar,
=
A long time back, thousands of years ago before the birth of Islam, in what is now known as Israel, there was a very large population of Jews. The population of that entire region was Jewish. Prior to that, pagans were living there, but the Jews destroyed those pagans. Today, pagans are an extreme minority, as most were forcibly converted to Judaism.
 
Then came the start of Christianity, and Christ was crucified by the Jews. Gradually, Christianity flourished, mostly by brute force. Millions upon millions of Jews were forced to convert to Christianity. Sadguru Baba has documented this in His teachings. In the Middle East, the ancestors of all the Christians were either Jews or pagans.

Then Islam came into being. It was very violent from the beginning. With the crusades, they forcibly converted people to Islam. The ancestors of those following Islam in the Middle East were either Christian, Jewish, or Zoroastrian.

During these crusades, the vanquished males were killed, and females were kept by Muslims as an xtra-wife to produce children. Those Jews and Zoroastrians who were well-to-do ran away and reached India to save their lives. And still they are there. Islam either killed or forced the mass conversion of those who stayed behind. This is the very short, factual history about what happened in the Middle East.
 
 
India & Kashmir terror
 
Now let us come to India and look into Kashmir. There were no Muslims in India before the Muslim invasion. After the invasion from the Middle East, those Muslims first captured Afghanistan which was a tantric country. They captured it by the sword. All the males were killed, and the females were retained to increase the Muslim population. Those who were weak surrendered and converted to Islam.
 
Gradually Muslims captured that portion of India that is nowadays known as Pakistan, and they forcibly converted those people. But they could not capture Kashmir. Kashmir remained a Hindu kingdom up through the British era. The Kashmiri king was a Hindu.

Captured the land by increasing birth rate
 
According to Ananda Marga philosophy, Kashmir was a key hub of tantric ideas / civilisation. Even today, so many tantric scriptures still exist in the local script of Kashmir. They have been preserved and are very old scripts. Indeed, that was a population of tantrikas. Step by step, Islam forcibly converted the weak and downtrodden Hindus to Islam.
 
Since their inception, the modus operandi of Muslims, Christians, and Jews was to capture the land by increasing their own birth rate. But Christians and Jews are not following this strategy in some places, but they do in other places, whereas the Muslims do that everywhere.
 
In Kashmir also, the Muslims preached and imposed their numbers game and became a huge majority by their high birth rate. When they became a super majority they ousted and killed local people. By this way, they captured the land of Kashmir.

In 1992, millions of Kashmiri Hindus were ousted, terrorised, and became refugees. Their hearth and home were looted, and to save their lives they ran away from Kashmir. Among them, hundreds of thousands of them reached the US, Canada, and Europe and became refugees, but the vast majority of them became refugees inside India.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

All Muslim majority countries have a law that if anybody leaves Islam or converts to other religions they will be killed. They will be subject to capital punishment. Islamic scriptures (i.e. Sharia law) mandates the death sentence for those who convert to other religions or step away from Islam. So Muslims are very determined to convert others to Islam, but if one is a born Muslim they cannot leave Islam, rather they will be killed. So Islam follows a policy of one-way traffic: One can enter into Islam but cannot leave. 

Courtesy of Dr. Bisconti: “The exponential growth is taking place near border areas, indicating an illegal occupation pouring in from neighbouring Muslim countries. One must not forget that India lost both Pakistan and Bangladesh to a forced Muslim occupation, an enormous patch of homeland to give up to a foreign infiltration. Prior to that India lost Afghanistan. India has basically lost more than half of its country to Muslim occupation. The country is also losing Jammu and Kashmir to yet one more Muslim occupation where more Muslims constantly stream into the region and profess it to be ‘theirs’.” (Dr. Michael Bisconti, “Exponential Muslim Population Growth at Borders…) 

Impending issue
 
Watch out. Now in Israel-Palestine and Kashmir there is endless suffering. This is a complex and long history and to write all that Baba spoke on this subject will take too long. This is the lesson for Europe nowadays. In the near future in Europe, Muslims will outnumber locals and turn into the same issue Kashmir and other communities will be ousted from Europe. That can happen anywhere. In Kashmir you can see the example so watch out. 

The birthrate in Islamic populations is very high which will lead to the number of Muslims to increase exponentially. In contrast, the birth rate of native and local populations is extremely low. In a mere few decades, it could easily happen that many European nations become Muslim majority countries.

Religion, refugee, & danger
 
In the various religions, people are not allowed to use their brain. That is the most horrendous curse on human society. We are human because of our developed intellect, i.e. the brain. Yet, followers are not allowed to use their brain under that rule of religion. In that situation, it is very hard to convince those religious followers to give up their Irrational and toxic beliefs.
 
So history guides us that most religions relied on forced conversions. Christians forcibly converted Jews; and, Muslims forcibly converted whoever got in their way. Now, in this day and age, Christians use other techniques such as financial payouts or a show / facade of social service with the motive to convert others. Indeed, they will apply all kinds of circumstantial pressure to convert external populations to Christianity. Wherever religious priests are powerful politically, they employ other methods to convert the population. 

And still today, Islamic terrorists are more brutal and do forced conversion. And all know that Ananda Marga philosophy is wholly against any type of conversion. Those religions are themselves toxic. Ananda Marga is not a religion, and our pracara methods rely exclusively on logic, reasoning, and human welfare.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/
 
 
Christianity is just as dangerous as as Islam
 
People are not allowed to use the brain under that rule of religion. In that situation it is very hard to convince religious followers to give up their dogmatic beliefs.  Due to the renaissance, some say that Christianity evolved. But that is not correct. Christianity never evolved. It was Christians who evolved. Religion never evolves. Religion is fixed, and that is why it becomes outdated. No religion updates their outdated scripture. The Bible, Quaran, and the Torah are the same as they always were. The key point is that evolved people do not take their religious teachings literally. They do not follow it to the letter. Rather, they gave up all those outdated religious edicts etc. That is why Christianity looks less dangerous in comparison to Islam.
 
But ultimately, as a religion, Christianity is just as dangerous as Islam. Look no further than the Rwanda genocide. Christian and Catholic priests were the cause. It is well-proven. So religion is like a snake. It can be beaten down for the time being, but it could always come back.
 
That said, Islam is in a different phase as it has yet to experience a renaissance. Christians evolved and gave up their dogma; whereas, educated Muslims do not like to give up their dogma. For example, no Islamic country nor any individual prominent Muslim condemned that 7th Oct 2023 genocide of Jews by Hamas.

Burning examples
 
That is why wherever religion becomes very strong it is deadly. And the worst outcome results when they outnumber the local population. If they become a super majority then get ready to be kicked out from your homeland. The history of Israel and Kashmir are the burning examples. So alertness is needed. Those living in France, Germany, and other countries around the globe where Muslim refugees are pouring in should be extremely alert.
 
Here the central idea is that in the various religions people are not allowed to use their brain. That is the most horrendous curse on our human society. We are human because of our developed intellect, i.e the brain. Yet, people are not allowed to use their brain under that rule of religion. In that situation, it is very hard to convince religious followers to give up their treacherous and harmful beliefs.  

In Him,

The case of refugees

Prout philosophy says, "The case of the Jews who expanded into Palestine is similar. Palestine originally belonged to the Jews and the Arabs drove them out." (1)

Prout is not against refugees, but refugees have their own drawbacks. As long as refugees are in the minority the situation is fine. However, when those refugees become the majority then problems arise. For details about this, please read discourse in Prout in a Nutshell - 19, “Talks on Bengal – Excerpt B” about Gorkhaland. 
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Solution

The central idea is one. Regardless of the type of refugee, the end result is the same. In various places, due to man-made calamities (war etc) or natural calamities (drought etc) people go to a new land and ultimately occupy the place. This has happened across various lands and peoples throughout history. And when those fleeing trouble became a dominant force in their new land, they beat down and inflict harm on the local population. This has happened time and again. Intermediary measures are needed. Those refugees running from their home due to war or famine, or any other type of calamity, should be provided a place to live in a safe zone near, in or around their country where they are given shelter and food etc. And then they must be granted scope and protection to return back to their native place when there is a period of relative peace. And, for lasting peace, all parties involved will have to give up their religion and embrace the universal approach of neo-humanism. 

Why Muslims kill others 

In the following teaching, Sadguru Baba is indirectly talking about Islam where music, dance, drama and all such forms of artistic expression are not allowed. Due to the prohibition of music etc, strict Islamic followers become severely psychically diseased and ultimately very brutal and cruel. They become absolutely ruthless. So, we should take a lesson from this and encourage aesthetic science wherever we get the opportunity. In result, the finer human senses of love and compassion will develop for fellow human beings, and violence in the society will wane and be completely eradicated. This terror torn earth will become loving, compassionate, and caring.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/
 
Ananda Marga ideology guides us, ”Humanity, in its all-out quest for this aesthetic science, attained spirituality. One must acknowledge this. Herein lies the excellence of aesthetic science. For this reason, I have given my whole-hearted and explicit support for nandana vijiṋána. You know that there are certain religions [Islam etc] which do not encourage aesthetic pursuits. You will notice that in those religions inertia, inferiority complexes and a sense of violence are predominant.” (2)
 
Some think that Islam includes those sufis who sing, dance, and play musical instruments, but that is wrong. In the Quran Sharif, songs are forbidden. And strict Islamists treat Sufis as heretics. That's why those Sufis were met with horrible genocide at the hands of those strict Muslims.

Pointing out religious loopholes

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Read any so-called religious book: one will seldom find anything resembling tolerance of the religious beliefs of others...If necessary, different views can be compared and presented in philosophical books. The philosophical and psychological loopholes in an argument may be pointed out without being disrespectful.” (3)

Horrendous story of Islamic new convert 

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “There is a well-known story about a Zamindar from Bengal called Kalachand Roy, later Kalapahar, who was a follower of Kálii. He worshipped a stone image of Kálii with great devotion. At that time some invaders, belonging to another religion [Islam], started a campaign to destroy all Hindu temples and deities. When Kalachand’s temple was about to be destroyed, he prayed to Kálii saying, “Mother, I do not have the power to protect you, so please protect yourself.” But how can a stone idol protect itself? In due course his temple and idol were destroyed, and Kalachand lost faith in Kálii. He was converted to the religion of the invaders, and became known as Sheik Kaluddin Khan. He launched his own campaign of terror throughout Bengal and Orissa and forcibly converted people to his new religion. He disfigured deities, destroyed temples and threatened people with physical violence to convert them. Once he travelled to Kashi and set about converting a widow who also happened to be his elder sister. She refused to succumb to his threats, and scolded him mercilessly for his bad behaviour. This made him realize the error of his ways, and he abandoned his campaign.” (4) 

All religions dogmatic, but in different ways

It is true that all the religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam etc) are dogmatic and carry a deep history of rampant exploitation. However, the religions are not exactly the same. On this particular point of forced conversion and immigration etc, Islam is far worse.

Sweet nectar

“Jiivan beláy, álor meláy, ajáná pathik tumi ke go ele…” (Prabhat Samgiita #3088)

Purport: 

At the shore of my life, with the festival of light, O’ Ajáná Pathik, who are You, who has come? Who is this wondrous, magnificent Entity that appears before me. I can’t recognize You, but even then sometimes the feeling comes in my mind that You are well known to me. A strange feeling encompasses me that we have met before. 
 
In this festival of light, You sing songs, watch over and care for me, and abundantly pour all the sweet nectar of Your heart. Baba, You shower Your divine blessings. It is Your grace. In this entire universe, in this vast cosmological order, there is nobody as generous as You.
 
O’ Ajáná Pathik, You never stop at any obstacle. There is no hurdle or challenge that halts Your journey. You do not pay heed to any restrictions as You advance forward on Your path. You always strictly adhere to satya, the way of benevolent truthfulness…

Response to braggarts

Ananda Marga ideology says, “Suppose in one’s garden there is a big rose; obviously the owner of the garden will boast to other people about the size of the rose. Perhaps the flower was as big as a fig, but the owner will describe it as huge...”

“[But one should remember that] Human beings are made of flesh and bones. If their heart or lungs stop functioning, then they will have no other option but to be carried upon the shoulders of 4 other persons and placed onto the funeral pyre. When this is the situation of human beings, where is the scope for self-glorification?” (1)

How to build a society founded on the ideal of Brahma

Sadguru Baba says, "In Ananda Marga the seed of a common ideal is sown from the very beginning of a child's life. At the age of five, when the child has acquired only a preliminary understanding of his or her surroundings, he or she is given the idea of Brahma [the Supreme Entity]. The entire society of Ananda Marga is thus founded on a common ideal or goal – Brahma. This foundation will never be lost like the dangers of war. Such an ideal will not disappear like the common ideal of facing the dangers of war; so the unity in a society founded on the ideal of Brahma will be everlasting." (1)

Glandular defects lead to dogma

Due to defects in their glands some people become cruel & dogmatic.

Ananda Marga ideology says, "If there is under-secretion of the hormones of the testes glands, a youth will develop less kindness, and less hair will grow in the armpits and pubic region. If you see a man with these physical characteristics, then and there you can come to a conclusion about the extent of his kindness. Moreover, such a person will most likely support dogma. He will not have the moral strength to protest against dogma (including scriptural dogma), and he will not support a new idea." (1)

Here above Ananda Marga ideology presents the glandular reason why people succumb to dogma. That may be why they cannot follow neo-humanism.

Evolution of bhakti + 4 more

Baba
Evolution of bhakti

Namaskar,

What is the real meaning of bhakti? Many sadhakas have pondered this question, and that is what we explore here as we delve into Sadguru Baba's teachings.

What is bhakti?

Baba says the root meaning of bhakti is “sa’ para’nurakti ishware”. That para’nurakti on Ishvara is called bhakti. Even many animals have sa’ma’nya’ bhakti. For example, some more developed animals are awed by looking at the mountains. They stop, look at the mountains and develop a feeling of surrender that they are in the presence of something greater than themselves. They bow and offer respect. When animals are even further developed, then this feeling of surrender becomes even more clear.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

If we take the example of domestic animals, they obey their masters. The reason is that they feel limited in front of their masters, and therefore follow the commands and orders, be it a horse, dog, cat, elephant, monkey etc. Domestic animals see that their masters are greater than them; that is why they follow those commands. A dog barks, runs, and does other things by the command of the master because the dog has a feeling of respect towards the master. If the situation arises, the dog will rescue the master. The dog does not know anything about the existence of Parama’tma’. But it knows this much that the master is greater than himself, and therefore develops respect and follows the commands and orders. If the dog knew of the existence of Parama’tma’ then it would have given top respect to Parama’tma’. So in this case, as the dog does not know of Parama’tma’, we will say that the dog’s bhakti is misplaced.


Child-mother analogy

Another example is that of a young child. For a child, their mother is everything, Hence, the child only knows the mother and loves her so much. Being a child, s/he does not know Parama’tma’. Had s/he known Parama’tma’, s/he would have had far more love for Parama’tma’ compared to the love that s/he now has for the mother. For a child, their mother is everything. When in a market, and the child cannot find its mother, then the child feels helpless and cries, as the shelter under which the child was living is no longer there.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Animals and human beings -- all have bhakti; the meaning behind this is that when one sees that something is greater than oneself, then they develop respect towards that entity. This feeling of respect, commitment and devoutness is referred to as sa’ma’nya’ bhakti. When this feeling becomes subtler then it is directed towards Parama’tma’. When such feeling towards Parama’tma’ arises, then the bhakta feels that Parama’tma’ is the nearest and dearest entity to him / her. As a result, the bhakta engages time in studying spiritual scriptures, in satsaunga, doing kirtan, meditation etc. In this way s/he engages in various activities by which s/he will come closer to Parama’tma’.

Confession of criminal

Whenever the bhakta is undergoing any physical hardship, then s/he will request Parama’tma’ for help, knowing that Parama’tma’ is the nearest and dearest Entity and Parama’tma’ knows everything. Even when the bhakta has made some mistakes, then s/he will try not to disclose his mistakes to others, but will ask Parama’tma’ for forgiveness and support, knowing that Parama’tma’ is omniscient. There is a feeling in the mind of the bhakta that Parama’tma’ is his/her well-wisher. Even a person with bad conduct knows that Parama’tma’ is omniscient and shares his/her feelings when in trouble. A criminal does not share such types of feelings even with friends and family members but shares with Parama’tma’. The atma situated in every human being knows what s/he has done, and is aware of the reality, even though s/he hides the wrongdoings from others, be they a court judge, friends, family etc. Within oneself satya only remains because the atma knows what is the truth. So when all the person’s capacities are utilized yet one still sees difficulties are surmounting, then one starts to ask Parama’tma’ for help.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Similarly, animals who live in a group generally follow their leader. Such animals are more clever than those who do not remain in a group. Wild animals have regard towards their animal leaders. Domestic animals have samanya bhakti for their master. Humans have bhakti towards Paramatman. Some people do rituals, others follow religions, and others have distinct ways of requesting Parama’tma’. Atheists do feel that something is greater than themselves, and they have respect for that. That is why Baba says that no one is an atheist. Everyone has bhakti.

When bhakti is pointed

When bhakti is more refined, it is for Parama’tma’ and only for Parama’tma’. In that stage, the bhakta feels the whole creation has originated from Parama’tma’ and s/he serves the creation out of love for that Creator, that Parama’tma’ whom they love.

Bhaktirbhagavato sevá bhakti prema svarúpińii;
Bhaktiránanda rúpá ca bhakti bhaktasya jiivanam.

In the highest stage of bhakti, the feeling develops that everyone is the progeny of Parama’tma’ and needs to be served. S/he will feel that everyone and everything in this creation is her/his own, and will feel love towards them. Then the life of the bhakta will be completely filled with love because in every step s/he will feel that Parama’tma’ is there to help and rescue them so there is no reason to fear. But one who feels that they themselves are the doer then their life will not be filled with bliss because the doer is limited.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Bhakti vs a’sakti

Bhakti is the longing which one has for Parama Purusa. Sometimes it is misdirected, and in other cases it is directed properly. For example, one who has love for money will feel disturbed when they lose their money, and sometimes they will even die from the shock of that loss, depending on the degree of their attachment to money. In this case, their love is misdirected, and so it is called a’sakti. But when affection and bhakti is pointed in the correct direction, then there is love for Parama’tma’, and the feeling extends to the creation of Parama’tma’ whom the bhakta serves and loves. That life is then filled with love only.

Slowly, bhakti becomes correctly directed to the One who is the Creator, and by this, bhakti is directed towards Parama’tma’. First the bhakta reads from scriptures, sings bhajans, kiirtans, and does meditation. Slowly, the feeling develops from the heart that Parama’tma’ is everything and there is nothing to fear. It doesn't matter how difficult the situation is, the bhakta feels that Parama’tma’ is there to take care of him/her and s/he never feels helpless. Rather life is filled with bliss because bhakti is properly directed.

Longing for parabhakti

“Cakrera paridhite ámi, tumi cakrer kendra sthita...” (Prabhat Samgiita #0713)

Purport: 

Parama Purusa, You are the nucleus of this brahmacakra, cycle of creation. You are the Controller, and I am on the periphery. You are cosmic; I am unit. With sadhana and bhakti, and by reducing the radius, I will reach to You one day, by Your grace. Now I am an ordinary living being undergoing mundane pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow, laughter and tears. But You are beyond all these ups and downs. You are eternally in bliss. 

In my life, there is a feeling of love and sometimes melancholic longing for You. On some occasions I cry, and other times I laugh. When I receive anything I become happy, and when I lose then I shed tears of sadness. But Your seat is above all these comings and goings. Incidents do not affect You. You remain unassailed by any sort of happenings. You are nitya, eternal. 

Baba, I am an ordinary human being. The things which I have, I always fear I will lose. That which I do not have, I harbour a strong desire to get. By Your krpa, I have the longing to have parabhakti. Sometimes my mind runs towards materialism, and other times it goes to the spiritual realm, divine world. In this way, my mental deer is bifurcated in its flow. Sometimes it aspires towards crude objects and sensual satisfaction, and other times it rushes headlong towards the Supreme Entity. But You are always in nitya bhava. You are bliss personified - established in anandam. 

Baba, You are everything in this great universe. I salute You in full prostration….


== Section 3: Important Teaching ==

Continued practice in sadhana needed

Ananda Marga ideology says, "Most people are well acquainted with the fourth state of mind (eka'gra). In this state the human mind sometimes becomes exalted with divine sweetness; and sometimes becomes as debased as an infernal creature. Sometimes it keeps company with good people and takes a resolve never to tell lies, accept bribes, get intoxicated, or become characterless; and sometimes it thinks that honesty and virtue are sheer folly, for happiness lies in falsehood, taking bribes, stealing, promiscuity, and the like. The mind is continuously tossed between good and bad. But when the practice of sa'dhana' inspires one to accept shreya (path of benevolence) as one’s ideology, one attains the true state of eka'gra bhu'mi. In this state waves upon waves of citta emerge." 

Sha'ntaditao tulyapratyayao cittasyaeka'girata'parin'a'ma 

Ananda Marga ideology says, "Every newcomer to the path of sa'dhana' suffers from a lack of concentration of mind. After repeating the is't'a mantra a couple of times hundreds of undesirable thoughts flood the mind. The newcomer thinks, “I am unable to attain the One on whom I meditate, and instead am pestered by those objects I do not want.” The hand counts the beads, the lips mutter the name of the is't'a, but the mind roams in the filth of hell. When all the undesirable waves are removed from the mind, one blissful wave begins to flow, and the sa'dhaka attains the state of eka'gra bhu'mi." (1) 

Note: If in sadhana a person is not one-pointed (eka'gra means "one-pointed") it means they are not repeating their mantra in a proper manner. It means they are lacking sincerity and regularity of practice.

Source of our suffering + 4 more

Baba
Source of our suffering

Namaskar,

So many things happen in life - good times and bad ones, smart choices and foolish ones. Not most, but some of these events are related with our samskaras, i.e. yoga's theory of cause and effect, also known as action / reaction, or samskara theory. This letter investigates key aspects of samskara theory.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Only humans create new samskaras

While most have studied the facts about samskaras, let's take a moment to review some fundamental rules. Only human beings can create new samskaras. Because only humans have free will; animals do not. For example, someone might decide to harm or kill others, while another may choose to help a person in distress. Each human being has the freedom to make conscious decisions and take action. By exercising their free will and making life choices, people create new samskaras, or unexpressed reactions.

More precisely, a person creates new samskaras based on how much pain or happiness their actions bring unto others. For instance, if you feed a beggar and bring 50 points of happiness in the mind of that beggar, then you will incur a good samskara of 50 points, plus interest accrued over time. That is the quantum of pleasure you will experience in the mind due to your past action of feeding the beggar. In contrast, if you take a stick and intentionally hit someone and give that person 70 points of pain and suffering in the mind, then you will incur a bad samskara of 70 points plus interest. That is the quantum of pain you will experience in the mind due to your past action of hitting that person with a stick. (Note: Please see link appended below about paying interest in samskara theory.)

By their free will and ensuing actions people create new samskaras. And then at a conducive moment they undergo the reaction. As explained in the above examples, a person must experience that degree of pain or happiness in the mind that they caused in others, plus interest. This happens because humans have free will to act and either help or hurt others.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Animals: no free will & never create samskaras

In contrast, animals cannot create any (new) samskaras because they do not have free will. Everything they do is according to instinct, which is controlled by the Cosmic Mind. If a monkey bites you, then that monkey will not incur any samskara. Because that monkey was doing according to its innate instinct. There was no conscious decision by the monkey to bite or harm you. To use the analogy of a computer, those animals act according to the way they are pre-programmed to behave, just as a computer performs according to the way it was programmed. Ultimately, since animals do not have free will, they never create or incur any samskaras.

A despotic ruler who inflicts untold suffering and terrible pain upon others will most assuredly incur very negative samskaras and be reborn as a lower being or even as a piece of iron. The exact depth of their plunge depends upon the nature of their sins and how much pain they inflicted upon others etc.

Part-life

We should always remember that ours is a part-life. We have been coming and going onto this earth (and beyond), from one life to the next, since long. Whether we are a small child, an adult, or an elderly person, we are carrying around a big bundle of samskaras from past lives. And that can take shape in so many ways and explain why even a very good person may undergo a terrible problem in life.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

For example, suppose a person is leading a very pious and saintly life; they never harm or hurt anyone. Yet they are facing one difficulty after another and experiencing so much mental anguish. In that case, we can surmise that this saintly person is undergoing the reactions from their past actions in a prior life. In a prior life, that person may have caused suffering to others and harmed them, and then carried those bad samskaras into this life. So even though this time around they are leading a saintly existence, this is just a part life. The suffering they are undergoing today may be the result of a very bad samskara from 2, or even 5 or 10 lives ago. So humans have the freedom to act and this is a part-life, linked with a whole chain of past lives and hence old samskaras.


Conclusion

In one's first human life they create new samskaras and reap the reactions in that very life itself - but still many unrequited samskaras remain which they shall reap in the future. In a short period, one can create enough samskaras to last for thousands of years. There is no set time frame for when a samskara will take expression, nor is there an easy escape from those unexpressed reactions; they have to take form. In addition, those samskaras are far more than one can ever undergo in this life; and, in this life also, they will create even more new samskaras. So it is a very dramatic situation whereby people incur huge numbers of samskaras.

The cycle is unending: birth to death and then rebirth. So one is not free. When a person is blessed to enter the path of sadhana, in the fire of sadhana every day one burns their samskaras. By doing sadhana and with His divine grace, one achieves liberation.

Within the animal category, there are two central groups:
(1) Those animals who were in human form but reverted back to animal life to undergo suffering from their past misdeeds.
(2) Those animals moving forward through the process of praisaincara and in order to progress that animal has to undergo clash and cohesion to reach the next higher state of mind. That is how srsti works. Those animals have to face hardship and struggle in the wilds in order to progress to the next higher life.
 
From the time one first emerges from the Supreme Hub in the form of fire or water, or wood etc up until one's highest expression of animal life, one will not have any samskaras because they do not have free will. It is only during one's first human life that new samskaras get created based on what one does - i.e. how one exercises their free will.

The child is suffering - no fault of its own?

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "It is quite often observed that a child suffers from some disease without any apparent fault on her part. The disease is attributed to her being affected by the germs of that disease, and thus the germs appear to be the cause. In fact, the saḿskáras of that child give rise to the saḿvedana or psychic action which then activates the germs of that particular disease in the body. The múla kárańa or root cause for the suffering of the child is saḿskáras, due to which saḿvedana arises and ultimately brings about the disease. It is therefore wrong to think that the child is suffering without any reason and for no fault of its own." (1)

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "So just as nimiita and upádána kárańa appears to be the main cause, the immediate reaction of an action appears to be the result while it is only a physical reaction, and the actual result or phala will be experienced later on. Karma and karmaphala travel in a wave and at one stage one becomes the kárańa for the other. This wave is unending, until karma ceases absolutely, karma and karmaphala are the kárańa or causes for each other, which travel in a never ending waves, until the karma and along with it, the formation of saḿskáras finally ceases." (2)

Consequences of his previous action of theft

Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "Suppose one has a desire to go to Calcutta and then actually goes there. This is an original action because to go or not to go to Calcutta depends entirely on one’s will. But an action which one is obliged to perform mechanically under pressure of circumstances is called saḿskáraḿulaka karma (reaction to the original action). In these actions it is the indirect will and not the direct will which functions. The original deed which was performed by the direct will is later expressed as a reaction by the indirect will. Your indirect will forces you to become a tool to restore the equilibrium in the universe which was lost due to your original action." (3)

Ananda Marga ideology says, "In sámskáraḿulaka karma individuals have no free will, but are slaves to the dictates of the indirect will. Suppose a person commits a theft by his free will. As long as the reaction of the original action of theft is unexpressed, his indirect will remains in seed form as reactive momenta. But the moment the indirect will finds a congenial environment it expresses itself, resulting in the thief either being arrested by the police, or having to undergo some punishment or humiliation. This is how the thief reaps the consequences of his previous action of theft." (4)


If they were wicked

Ananda Marga ideology teaches us, "Good reactions to good actions are experienced in a similar way. One will have to reap the consequences of one’s past actions until one’s saḿskáras are exhausted. If one’s previous deeds were virtuous, life will be blessed, but if they were wicked, one will be branded as a sinner. Only when all good and bad reactions have been expressed do the bondages of vice and virtue snap open." (5)


Suppose one harms someone

Ananda Marga ideology states, "All actions, whether introversial or extroversial, crude or subtle certainly lie latent in individuals in seed form as potential reactions. One day, with the help of the indirect will, they will be expressed in the external world. Suppose one harms someone. The reaction of one’s action will lie in potential form until the proper time and place arrives for its expression." (6)

Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "Even if one does not harm anyone physically, but simply thinks of harming someone, saḿskáras will still be created. Whatever feelings one may have for a person, good or bad, will certainly cause a reaction. That reaction will remain in potential form in the subtle mental sphere until the opportune time arrives for its expression. This is why wise people look upon this universe with an attitude of equanimity and pray for the welfare of all. Sarvesám mauṋgalam káunkśe. People who fail to do this will have to suffer endlessly for their mean-mindedness." (7)

Why sadhakas suffer

Ananda Marga ideology states, "We often notice that after initiation a sincere sádhaka suddenly experiences tremendous pain or pleasure. The initial stage of a spiritual aspirant’s life is quite troublesome. Those who suddenly feel tremendous happiness become so absorbed in this blissful state that they completely forget their ideology, and those who suffer immense torture sometimes leave the path of sádhaká due to their inability to face such difficulties. A true sadhaka must remain unaffected by both pain and pleasure. It should be understood that only through pain and pleasure can one’s sámskáras be destroyed and a new karmáshaya dominated by Consciousness be created." (8)

Ananda Marga ideology states, "In this stage, when the karmáshaya is filled with Consciousness, the possibility of a spiritual aspirant’s rebirth is destroyed for good. Burnt seeds never sprout. However, even though it is burnt, the seed still exists." (9)

Lose all boundaries of limitation

“Bháve bhará ákáshe, bhávátiita sakáshe, maner mádhuri d́hele jái…” (Prabhat Samgiita #0573)

Purport:

O Bhávátiita Entity, due to your presence, my mental sky is filled with your ideation. I go on pouring the sweetness of my mind unto You. In the chords of my mental viina and in the music of my heart, besides You there is nothing else. Parama Puruśa, I love only You.

My Eternal Companion, please be gracious and lead me, day and night, unto Your radiant-filled, divine refulgence. You are the abundant beauty of the infinite; You float in the pollen of the finite as Taraka Brahma. Please make me merge into the unknowable Parama Purusa, into You. By Your anudhyána, by Your abhidhyána, I have attained You in my soul. It is Your grace.

In the psychic arena of my unit being, the loving touch of the Cosmic Entity is coming. It rouses the samvit and hladinii, with heart-filled determination. In my meditation, my mind sways from ideating on form to merging into formlessness, and finally loses all boundaries of limitation, and becomes one with that limitless Parama Puruśa. It is Your causeless krpa...


Notes for Prabhat Samgiita #0573:

[1] Bha'va'tiita: This is one of the names of Parama Purusa and describes one of His infinite attributions. In His stance of bhava’tiita, Parama Purusa is beyond all thought conception. Bhava means thinking, and atiita means beyond. So bhavatiita means the Entity who is beyond all thought. If one tries to think of Bhavatiita - i.e. the Supreme Entity - then one’s mind gets suspended in His ideation and ceases to function. It is akin to the doll of salt that tries to measure the depths of the ocean. It dissolves before reaching the bottom and becomes one with the ocean. Similarly, the mind cannot reach that Entity who is Bhavatiita. As the unit mind tries to think of Him, the mind actually becomes one with Him, by His grace. That unit mind loses its individuality and merges into Him - it cannot remain separate. That is why He is called Bhavatiita.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Parama Purus'a, the Supreme Reality, is beyond all speech and thought: He is beyond the reach of the vocal cord. So He is bha'va'tiita ["beyond bha'va"]...The more one thinks of His infinite qualities, the more one becomes speechless, the more deeply one becomes absorbed in Him." (1)

[2] Samvit: Ananda Marga ideology says, "Samvit means spiritual consciousness, spiritual awakening. A man engaged in bad things all of a sudden feels that “No, I shouldn’t do all these things. No, I should be a good man henceforward.” Such an idea all of a sudden comes in his mind. And this thing, this change of mental tendency, is brought about by samvit shakti of Vidyámáyá. Do you follow? This is what is called samvit shakti. “No, henceforward I must be a good man. No, henceforward I must be a spiritualist. I must not encourage any depraving idea.” Samvit shakti." (2

[3] Hladinii: Ananda Marga ideology states, “Hládinii shakti means the shakti that helps, that propels, that directs, the jiiva towards the realm of supreme beatitude.” (3)

Power of thinking
 
  Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "That is, if one's object of thought is a thief, what will happen? What is the psychic process? When you think something, your mind is then and there divided into two parts. One subjective part, another is objective counterpart. And when you are thinking of a bad man, or a thief, what will happen? The objective counterpart of your mind will take the form of that thief, will take the form of that bad man, and slowly what will happen? Your subjective counterpart of the mind, that is, seer portion of the mind---one portion is seer and another portion is seeing. So, seer portion of the mind will be slowly converted into that bad man, and slowly you will become a bad man. So a bad man must not be your object of ideation, should not be your object of meditation. If you think of a bad man, you will become a bad man."
   "You know, there is a particular insect in India, it is called pecasha-kiit'a. It kills cockroaches. You know the cockroach, that red insect? Yes, it kills cockroach. And cockroaches are very much afraid of that insect. So when a cockroach sees that insect, that insect becomes its object of ideation; that is, its objective counterpart of the mind  takes the form of---what? Cockroach. So what does happen? Slowly the body of the cockroach is converted into the body of that pecasha-kiit'a. That is, cockroach itself is converted into the form of its killer." (1)

Alleviating impotency

These days around the globe in so-called advanced countries impotency is on the rise, especially in “modern”, materialistic countries. One outcome of this is that adoption agencies earn a lot of money by bringing children from very poor areas like Africa, parts of Asia, and placing them in Euro-American countries for thousands of dollars. One of the underlying reasons behind this is that sexual impotence and infertility are on the rise. Here Baba gives the causes as well as the solutions to these health conditions.

Ananda Marga Yogic Treatments says, "If excessive waste of semen occurs due to the bad habit of masturbation during adolescence or youth, or due to lack of restraint in married life, the seminal fluid becomes thin and the symptoms of seminal weakness appear. This is also a kind of sexual debility, and it is called seminal infertility."

"A serious lack of sexual restraint will make the nerves of the pelvis and genitals weak or damaged...This is called genital impotency."

"As I have already said, impotency and infertility, in most cases if not all, are diseases of over-indulgence; so one should keep control over their thoughts and actions. The male should stay away from feminine company as long as the disease is not fully cured." (1)

Note 1: Those who suffer from this should take it very, very seriously. And others must understand so that they can help educate and serve the suffering masses. Looking around there are so many people who do not know these beautiful rules of Baba and they invite danger.

Note 2: Because of this the population is decreasing amongst certain communities.

When life becomes meaningful

Namaskar, 

Those of a materialistic mindset think that power, post, money, and worldly relations are the base of life. They think, “I live and die for this - i.e. power, post, & money etc. For this, I have come on this earth to live happily and enjoy.” In this way, due to avidya maya they pass their whole life in drowsiness. They cannot comprehend this basic fact that what they are depending upon is not permanent. Those things cannot last forever.
 
In this universe, everything is moving and the speed of movement also varies. So when two people are moving in with a similar speed then they are called a family. But no two persons can maintain a similar speed for long. Either one moves away, dies, divorces, or their liking or disliking changes. What they formerly cherished has now become useless in their eyes. 

That is why nothing in this created world can be the base of life. None of those things can provide permanent happiness. Animals cannot comprehend this simple truth - but humans can understand it. Those who fail to comprehend it are worse than animals. Only that Eternal Entity Parama Purusa alone is the base of life. He was with you, He is with you, and He will always be with you up to eternity. So when you have one Entity who always remains with You then why not cultivate a close and intimate relation with that Supreme Entity. That will signify the start of gaining real meaning and fulfillment of life.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "That which is finite cannot be the base of your life, because it will be used up and will leave your mind unsheltered. Thrusting you in the abyss of darkness, it will pursue its course on the unending path. Therefore, no one except Brahma, the beginningless, endless and infinite can be the object of your mind and the base of your life.” (1)

In Him,
Dhrti

Unemployment causes crime

According to Prout philosophy, "For the all-round welfare of human beings, society needs to follow some fundamental socio-political principles. Without the firm foundation of such principles, disunity, injustice and exploitation will flourish."

"First people should not be retrenched from their livelihood unless alternative employment has been arranged for them."

Prout philosophy states, "Let us discuss what happens when people lose their livelihood. Take the example of rickshaw pullers in India. The work of rickshaw pullers is exhausting and poorly paid, but if it is declared illegal, many rickshaw pullers will become unemployed and their lives will become more miserable. Those who cannot find alternative employment will either die of starvation or become criminals in an effort to survive. In either case, society will be adversely affected. So, before this occupation is prohibited, rickshaw pullers should be provided with suitable alternative employment." (1)

Note: In failing to follow this important point, nowadays some countries are facing a whirlpool of criminal activity. One example is the situation in Iraq and the formation of ISIS / ISIL. When Saddam Hussein was in power and ruling over Iraq then he employed a huge army. When the US deposed of Saddam Hussein and dismantled the entire army, they imposed the order that those soldiers must not be given any work. Without a guaranteed job, those soldiers formed themselves into the terrorist, fighting brigade known as ISIS / ISIL that is currently wreaking havoc throughout the region. ISIS / ISIL is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths of innocent people and wanton destruction throughout the land. And the root cause is that Hussein's fighting forces lost their jobs without any guarantee of other employment.

रात समाप्त हो गई है, नव्यमानवतावाद का युग आ गया है।

प्रभात संगीत 4614: निशार अवसान हालो, पूर्वाकाशे.....

भावार्थ

अब, पूर्वी क्षितिज में गुलावी रंग स्पष्ट दिखाई दे रहा है। रात अपने काले अंधकार के साथ जा चुकी है। अब उगता सूर्य पुकार कर कह रहा है कि अपने अपने घरों के दरवाजे खिड़कियों को खोलो। खोलो ,खोलो,खोलो अपने हृदय के द्वार खोलो और जाति, ग्रुपों व दलों में पृथक पृथक रहने की भावजड़ता को भगाओ । सचमुच रात खत्म हो गयी है भावजड़ता और संकीर्णता के बंधन मन से दूर चले गये हैं।

 भूतकाल में अंधकार से ढके होने के कारण जो कुछ अज्ञात था,  वह अब प्रकाश  की उपस्थिति के कारण समझ में आने लगा है। सभी लोग हमारे परिवार के भाग हैं। दूर स्थानों के पक्षी अपने पंख फैलाये पास आ रहे हैं। इस अरुणोदय के कारण अब मैं देखता हूॅूं कि सभी परस्पर भाई बहिन हैं कोई भी बाहरी नहीं है जबकि पहले मैं इन्हें दूरस्थ अन्य जाति व दलों, ग्रुपों का मानता था। पर अब यह स्पष्ट हो गया है कि वे सब मेरे हैं। मन के जड़ात्मक भाव दूर हो गये हैं। अब कोई भेदभाव नहीं है, कोई अंधेरा नहीं है, कोई बंधन नहीं है नया ज़माना आ चुका है।

अब किसी के घर में स्वच्छ वायु के प्रवेश  को कोई नहीं रोक सकता। क्षुद्र भाव समाप्त हो गये है। इसके पूर्व में लोग अपनी बुद्धि का उपयोग दूसरों के शोषण में किया करते थे, पर अब सभी का मन बहुत बड़ा हो गया है। सभी अपने मन को परम पुरुष की ओर चलाने लगे हैं।

दूरस्थ व्यक्ति अब मेरे अपनों की तरह निकट आने लगे हैं। गुलावी प्रातःकाल से अंधेरा दूर हो गया है और सभी अपने घरों के द्वार अपने हृदय के कपाट खोल रहे हैं,ं अब नया युग आ गया है अब कोई भावजड़ता, कोई बंधन और कोई अंधेरा नहीं है। अब मनुष्य के हृदय में दिव्य प्रेम का संतृप्तिकरण हो गया है। सभी एक दूसरे से निकट संबंधियों की भाॅंति मिल रहे हैं। घना अंधेरा हट गया है, बाबा! तुम्हारी कृपा से नव्यमानवतावाद का युग आज आ गया है।
