Who is great in true sense
Baba
says, "Who is mahat (great), who is maha'na (great), about this it has
been said, 'paropaka'rat mahat', or those who are serving others. They
are called mahat. Those who have studied volumes of books, or those who
accumulated huge wealth, those who have a prestigious family heritage,
good reputation in the society, all these things are there, etc even
then they cannot be great if they do not serve others." "Those who are
serving others, they are mahat, great. To do social service huge money
is not needed. Whatever strength you have at present in your hand,
utilise that to serve others. If body is strong physically then serve
with physical body, and if you have money then serve with your money, if
you have intellect then do with intellect, if you have courage then do
with that, if you do not have anything then you do by your good thoughts
and well-wishing. Human beings become great by serving others. But
where there is not service they become low and mean. They become
meager." (1)

Now there is no one whom I feel is alien; everyone is mine, my own
Purport:
Now,
after such a long time, the cimmerian darkness has finally disappeared;
and, the crimson dawn is smiling today. In my mental plate, in my
mind’s mirror, His divine effulgence is emanating with the expression of
His divine love. In my mind, the particles of His divine love are
buoyant.
Now
there is no one whom I feel is alien; everyone is mine, my own. This
entire universe - flora and fauna - everything is filled with the
feeling of being part of my own vast cosmic family. Amongst this entire
world, throughout this mobile and immobile universe, I only see Him in
my heart and soul’s firmament. He is Parama Purusa Baba. This creation
is nothing but His divine play.
In
order to get Him (Parama Purusa), I do not go to any “holy land”,
Ananda Nagar, Tiljala Tomb tiirtha, Jamalpur, Varanasi, Rameshwaram,
Puri, or Kailash etc. Neither do I go to Bodhgaya, Mecca, Rome,
Jerusalem, or any other external place in search of Him, Parama Purusa.
And I also do not observe any external, dogmatic rituals or penance such
as idol worship, deity puja, dogmatic “holy dips” in river Ganges,
namaz, prayer, nature worship, or any other dogmatic offering like
animal sacrifice etc to get His blessing. Nor do I go to any temples -
neither Buddha, nor Jain, nor Hindu, Gurudwara, mosque, church, nor any
synagogue etc - to attain realization of God. I do not go to any such
places in order to get Him & have His grace. I just love Him in the
deep corner of my mind through shravana, manana, niddidhyasana [1],
kiirtana, bhajana, dhyana japa, etc. He always resides in my mental
lotus in Guru cakra. By His grace I feel His attraction & love. I
only yearn to become one with Him…
Note for Prabhat Samgiita #2340
[1] Shravan, Manan, Niddhidhyasana: Here below Baba explains the great import of these three devotional practices.
Baba
says, "To attain Him human beings have to take recourse to shravana
(constantly hearing His name), manana (constantly ideating on Him) and
nididya'sana (constantly meditating on Him). The Supreme Entity is
Gurha, that is, He is lying hidden in the innermost recess of the human
entity. To attain Him one must penetrate deep within oneself, and for
that the development of an introversial outlook is essential." (1)

Find out what is the highest truth - Ananda Vanii #68
Ananda
Vanii states, "The first and the final word of manifestation is
mobility or dynamicity. Just as movement has no cessation, the path of
movement also has no end. In this very movement lies the happy union
between eternal ethics and the ageless supra-sensory realization – their
centripetal affinity. It is not
enough for a person to merely understand and abide by the truth, rather
it must be translated into reality in the practical lives of living
beings. With the greatest fulfilment in buds, flowers and fruits, each
and every life must be made effulgent. Everyone should be made to
realize that in the path of movement the Supreme fulfilment is the
highest truth." (1)
Note
1: The above is one of Baba’s original Ananda Vaniis. These original
and true Ananda Vaniis are unique, eternal guidelines that stand as
complete discourses in and of themselves. They are unlike Fake Ananda
Vaniis.
