Download -> Baba’s audio file: devotional sadhana points

Namaskar,

Appended below please find a link an audio file with sound clips from Sadguru Baba’s various discourses where He places great importance on sadhana and the creation of ideal, spiritual human beings.

• Baba guides us that if we are unable to create proper human beings and we give them the responsibility to do some meaningful work, they will not be able to do it. It is just like if a person does not have good strength in their arms and shoulders and you give them a 500lb weight to carry, they will be crushed. Those who want to lead the society in various spheres of life should make their personality strong by sadhana. Otherwise, they will not be able to manage any worthwhile work.

• You should not feel shy to speak in your mother tongue. If you feel shy it means you are not an A-grade human being.

• You have been given human life to do sadhana only. Everything else is secondary. First one should do maximum sadhana and realise Parama Purusa in this life; and then if you want to do social service, come again and again in human form on this earth to serve Him. But first you should realise Him by practicing intense sadhana.
  

Path of bhakti is the best

• There are three paths. The path of jinana or knowledge is dangerous as one becomes prideful and vainglorious, which brings degeneration. The path of karma is also dangerous as it invites ego and vanity: “I have done this or I have done that.” That also degenerates the mind. The path of bhakti is the best and the safest. You have come here to do sadhana - do not procrastinate. Time is very important.

• Baba guides us to become bhaktas, not jinaniis. Jinaniis study a lot but they quickly forget what they study. Whereas, bhaktas do not engage in intellectual extravaganza, and when they need to know something they directly ask Parama Purusa. And that knowledge they remember.

• One should always follow dharma, even if that means losing one’s own life. Cent-per-cent of the time should should adhere to bhagavad dharma.

• By practising sadhana, one decreases their distance with Parama Purusa, until ultimately, the sadhaka will become on with Him, by His grace.

"Parama Purusa belongs only to me"

• Knowingly or unknowingly everyone wants to attain Parama Purusa. Even animals want Him, but they can't do kiirtan or sadhana. Only human beings can practice dharma sadhana. So one should be very strict in their spiritual practices and make their human life meaningful. 

• Baba cites the story of Dhruva to demonstrate that from childhood one should practice bhagavad dharma. Those who do intense sadhana are intelligent. And others are fools.

• Whatever social service you do, do not brag that, “I have done this or I have done that.” Parama Purusa does all kinds of things but He does not brag. So you should become like Him. Be a silent worker. Whatever you do, do not brag about it.

• As stated, one should not have any ego or vanity. But if a person does have ego in their mind, then it should be, “I am Yours and You are mine.” One can only have ego that, “Parama Purusa belongs only to me.” Beyond that one should not have any ego.

Conclusion

The above is a micro overview of what is on the audio file. It is mostly in Hindi, but Beloved Baba has also spoken English, Bengali, Bhojpuri, and other languages also. And there are some Saḿskrta slokas too. Ultimately, if you know someone who speaks Hindi etc that will be very helpful.

In Him,
Satyadeva

Errata: Shraddha’injali came into AMPS

Following is an updated version of a paragraph from the letter titled: "Shraddha’injali came into AMPS" - Eds

Ingredients of shraddhainjali dogma / worship of deceased

So the needed ingredients for shraddhainjali are:

1. Dead person (Note: Shraddhainjali cannot be done for a living person like Ac Rudrananda Avt, Ac Sarvatmananda Avt,  Ac Citsvarupananda Avt, Ac Mantreshvarananda Avt, Ac Bhaveshananda Avt, Ananda Giita Acarya, Ac Raviishananda Avt, Ac. Vicitrananda Avt, Ac Madhuvratananda, Ac Pranavatmakananda Avt, Ac Nabhatiitanadna, Ac Dhyaneshananda Avt, Ac Hariishananda, Ac Haratamananda Avt, Ac Sambhutyananda, Parameshvarananda,Ac Kinshukji, Ac Vishvadevananda Avt etc. In order to do shraddhainjali for them one must wait. Because one cannot do shraddhainjali of a living person.)

2. Casket or tomb

3. Flowers (real or artificial / paper or plastic), small or large amount

4. Toys (if the deceased is a child)

5. Scents

6. Water (optional)

7. Chants (Recited in Arabic, Hebrew, Latin, or Sanskrit - or done in the local language if needed.)

8. Head priest, or mullah, or senior avadhuta, or purodha pramukha (any single one is enough)

9. Mourners (minimum one and maximum as much as possible). To show greater respect people hire or rent mourners. They do this for various leaders; those rented mourners will raise the slogan in favour of the deceased or cry out loud as requested.

The above points are inherent to any shraddhainjali dogma. So by placing shraddhainjali in the post 1990 Caryacarya appendix, the insinuation is that all these things will be done.

Note: Here it should be understood that shraddhainjali refers to both (a) the day of the actual death ceremony and (b) the annual commemoration of the death. In both instances it is called as a shraddhainjali program.
