जब नींद टूटेगी तब भी देखोगे कि जप हो रहा है

“अहोरात्र चौबीस घण्टे पुण्य कर्म करो | तो बोल सकते हो कि चौबीस घण्टे कैसे करेंगे ? कभी खाते हैं, कभी चलते हैं, कभी पढ़ते हैं | इसका उत्तर यही है कि मनुष्य का शरीर है—साधना के लिए | जनसेवा भी साधना का ही part है | जब खा रहे हो, जब सोए हुए हो, उस वक्त क्या करोगे ? उसके पहले भी तो अपना मन्त्र जप कर लिए | मन्त्र-जप करते-करते सो गए | तो निद्रता अवस्था में श्वास के साथ स्वतः मन्त्र का जप होगा और जब नींद टूटेगी तब भी देखोगे कि जप हो रहा है |”

== Section 2: Prabhat Samgiita ==


In spite of having You very close, it is still
not possible for me to fully realise You


Note: Only those bhaktas who feel a devotional vibration in their heart can understand this song in the depths of their core.

"Toma'ke ka'che peyeo cena' da'y..." (Prabhat Samgiita 2288)

Purport:

O' Parama Purusa, You are mine - You are very close to me. Often I think that I have understood You completely; but when I contemplate more deeply I understand that I know not. in spite of having You very close, it is still not possible for me to fully realise You. O' Divine Entity, You are my very intimate and closest One: Your mind can’t be understood. You smile softly and say You love me. Yet when I long for You and yearn to have You in a more intimate way, You are not coming that close. Then I think that I do not properly understand Your mind - Your desire. Otherwise surely You would come deep into the depths of my heart. Baba, O' my Dearmost, Alas, I do not know how to satisfy You completely. [1]

O' my Lord, just when I think I have completely understood You, and just when I think I have truly come to know You, i.e. Your desires and Your inner plans, then with Your divine liila You shower even more of Your divine love and I become restless to get You more and more close. I feel so much love for You in my heart that my eyes constantly rain and shower tears when I think of You. It is Your grace. 

O' Parama Purusa Baba, due to Your infinite compassion I have understood that only You are the Essence. You alone are the Cosmic Nucleus of this vast universe. By Your grace I have forgotten all those transitory expressions; they can’t give me permanent shelter. I no longer run after the ephemeral things of this mundane world. Your divine liila is not easy to understand. I understand that Your liila cannot be understood. [2] Now I only say and sing: "O’ Forgiver of the mistakes, O' Lord please forgive me for my lapses, wrongdoing and negative deeds. Please shower Your causeless grace on me."

Baba, You can only be attained through surrender and love. O' Lord please grace me; please fill me with Your divine compassion...


Notes for Prabhat Samgiita #2288:

[1] To understand You fully, the unit mind must lose its individual identity. As long as one is cognizant of their own unit existence, then You cannot be realised.

[2] "Toma'r liila'y ha'r ma'niya'chi": This phrase from the third stanza of the above Prabhat Samgiita is neatly represented by these below teachings.

"Surrender yourself to His will. Shake off your load of self-conceit. Lighten the burden of your life and float yourself on the waves of His will. It is He who is teaching you the sa'dhana' in the guise of a Guru (preceptor); it is He who is strengthening your knowledge and faith in the guise of a philosopher. You are plundering His mercy in everything day and night. Go on working as a machine, leaving the doership to Him. How little can your poor intellect comprehend or analyse His unfathomable sport (liila')! So, instead of trying to comprehend or analyse keep the bearing of that inscrutable juggler aglow before your eyes." (1)

"Parama Puruśa is beyond the scope of relativity. Why is He making the world dance? Why has He made Paramarasa-Samudra? The answer to this cannot be known in the world of causality. Why Paramátmá has done something has no answer because He is beyond the scope of causality. Hence that which is non-causal, that which is beyond the scope of causality is Liilá. Whatever Paramátmá does is Liilá, but what Jiiva does is Kriidá. The wise will do Kriidá in such a way as to adjust their waves with the waves of Liilá. They will not try to know why Liilámaya has done an action. They will simply try to know Liilámaya Himself. If you cannot know the cause of a trifling thing like dancing, how can you know the cause of the action of Liilámaya? Jiiva has a very small brain and a very small cranium. It is not possible for it to know the action of Liilámaya. Suppose someone is an MA in 20 subjects. If he or she is asked suddenly to appear in the MA examination, he will not pass – he will have to read again, then he will have to appear. This proves that the Jiiva fails even to succeed in its own Kriidá. So how can it understand the cause of the Liilá of Liilámaya? It cannot. The best approach is to love Him, is to join His party. If there is true love the Master Magician will certainly make you understand everything because the more the members of His party know, the more convenient it is for Him." (2)

== Section 3: Prout ==

Future humans will disconnect their limbs

Prout philosophy states, "Compared to mechanical babes, biological babes will be perfect. Ova and spermatozoa, both being chemical compounds, can be created in a laboratory. Embryos, created by the fusion of spermatozoa and ova, can also be developed in a laboratory. Babes created by such a method will be called biological babes. The entire body, including the brain, can be created, but it is beyond the scope of human endeavour to create mind. As in the natural evolution of human beings, nature will put a bodiless mind into the embryo of the laboratory babes. This explains why a laboratory babe will not be free from saḿskáras or the reactions to past actions. With the development of medical science, laboratory babes can be given a long life in comparison to normal human beings."

"It may be possible for future humans to disconnect their limbs and move anywhere freely with their brain only. The different parts of the body of a biological babe can be replaced, but the brain cannot be replaced, for it is a brain with a particular set of saḿskáras, and hence replacement of the brain would mean replacement of the personality. The brain is a collection of nerve cells, the totality of which is the personality. It is not possible to change the brain without changing the nerve cells and consequently the personality." (1)

== Section 4: Ananda Vanii ==

Innermost golden cavity of

“That very irresistible aspiration which leads human beings towards their goal with tremendous speed, also builds all sorts of social structures and generates newer social consciousness. With all sincerity in thought, words and deeds you have to build that aspiration, you have to awaken the cognitive faculty latent in the innermost golden cavity of every microcosmic mind. For you have to work to bring about the well-being of every entity; no benevolent individual can neglect anyone.” (Ananda Vanii #63)

Note 1: True Ananda Vaniis have a number whereas Fake Ananda Vaniis do not - just as a fake car license plate has no number. By this way, you can easily recognise a Fake Ananda Vanii.


== Section 5: Holy teaching ==

Dogma: attaining salvation by fasting

Ananda Marga ideology states, “Some people consider it propitious to have a holy dip in the Ganges on certain auspicious days. Other people think that by standing knee-deep in water in the winter season they will attain virtue. It is sheer nonsense to expect emancipation in this way. These are merely physical actions which do not guarantee emancipation. However, they may bring emancipation in one way – one may contract a virulent typhoid fever or pneumonia and expire! Na muktirtapanáddhomádupavásah shataerapi. There are some people who die after fasting for thirty or forty days. The members of their community think that they have attained salvation thereby, but one cannot attain salvation by fasting in this way.” (1)
