Sutra: 4 points for greatness

Namaskar,

Bha-vi-sa-ca is a sutra, not a mantra. That means it is an abbreviation or short form of an expansive teaching that is supposed to be followed, not repeated. We derive benefit from Bha-vi-sa-ca by (a) thinking about God, (b) being humble and modest in our dealing, (c) exercising self-restraint, and (d) maintaining good conduct. That is what bha-vi-sa-ca says to do; and if we do that we will be benefited. Hence bha-vi-sa-ca is a sutra or condensed teaching that is meant to be followed. It is not meant to be recited in and of itself like a mantra.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Bha-vi-sa-ca is quite helpful as it encapsulates some of the key components of a dharmic life. Baba's seed teaching or sutra, Bha-vi-sa-ca, is the short form, or abbreviation, or boiled down representation of 4 distinct points:

(1) 'Bha' meaning ‘Parama Purusa’ (God);

(2) 'Vi' meaning 'Vinay' (modesty);

(3) 'Sa' meaning 'Samyama' (self-restraint);

(4) 'Ca' meaning 'Caritra' (conduct).

And each of these above components or branches has their own special import. Here then is the explanation of Baba's universal sutra: Bha-vi-sa-ca.


Bha-vi-sa-ca: not meant to be repeated

Repeating:
        
"Bha-vi-sa-ca...Bha-vi-sa-ca...Bha-vi-sa-ca...Bha-vi-sa-ca..."

This will not bring about a good result - just it will be a waste of energy and a waste of time. Because sutras like bha-vi-sa-ca are to be followed in one's daily dealing. It is a teaching not a mantra. That is why we are to follow the directions contained in the sutra. That is its utility- not repeating the sutra. In contrast, as we know a vibrated mantra like our Ista mantra, Baba Nam Kevalam mantra, or dhyana mantra will bring one's liberation when repeated with sincerity and devotion.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Baba says, "Manana't ta'rayet yastu sah mantrah parikiirttitah-- "The sanctified word that helps one in attaining salvation [is a mantra]." (1)

So by repeating their personal Ista mantra etc one will achieve liberation. That is the specialty of a mantra. However, a sutra like Bha-vi-sa-ca is much different. It is a teaching to be followed and does not have the quality of being a mantra. That is why merely repeating "Bha-vi-sa-ca...Bha-vi-sa-ca..." will never bear such fruit. That will not bring one's liberation. Because bha-vi-sa-ca is a seed teaching or sutra, not a mantra. One gets the benefit of bha-vi-sa-ca by following what the sutra says to do.
 

Utility of our sutras

So one should not think that the Bha-vi-sa-ca sutra or the Guru Sakash sutra are meant to be repeated again and again. These are not mantras and repeating them over and over again will just be a waste of one's time and will never lead to liberation. Rather we are to carry out the directive of the sutra. That is the beauty and benefit of sutras like that of Guru Sakash and Bha-vi-sa-ca.


The formula of bha-vi-sa-ca brings success

So by following the four golden aspects (God, modesty, self-restraint, conduct) of the bha-vi-sa-ca sutra, one is sure to invite greatness and victory in life. There are so many who keep very strict and dharmic conduct. And indeed, those who do this - those whose conduct is blemishless - will be looked upon as heroes and vanguards for generations & generations to come. That much is sure.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

As we all know, Baba has always given us all the needed tools and teachings to gain success. No matter what the circumstance, no matter what the challenge, He has graciously provided the pathway for victory.

For example, just prior to the Emergency and enforcement of martial law in India, Baba graciously bestowed upon us His system of 16 Points. By this way, by following 16 Points, margiis and acaryas had the stamina, faith, and strength to persevere during the grueling Emergency period.

Earlier on, another recipe for success was given: Bha-vi-sa-ca. This was given by Baba 1 Oct 1971 - just a few months prior to His arrest on 29 Dec 1971. And it is through His teaching of Bha-vi-sa-ca, in part, that Baba readied members of the Marga for the tumultuous period of His incarceration which was about to begin. And by that way our Marga not only survived, but thrived - by Baba's grace. So His seed teaching, Bha-vi-sa-ca, has great import and significance and we should all be aware of & practice its meaning and application.


Conclusion

Here are the four key pillars:
(a) When starting or continuing any work one should always think that, "God is before me, and that He is the Doer."
(b) One should always be humble and have modesty; That should reflect in every dealing. One should not quarrel with anyone unnecessarily.
(c) One should exercise restraint. For example if you are eating then do not eat too much and if talking with someone then have patience to listen as well.
(d) One's overall conduct should be proper.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

By following these four points one's all-round progress is sure. With that mighty force one can defeat all kinds of odds and get final victory. That is the central idea of this letter.

Namaskar,
in Him,
Gopii Deva

More key points on bhavisaca

The special seed teaching, Bha-vi-sa-ca, which has been given by Baba bears great significance. Veritably, this unique point stands as the seed of 'Jiivan Veda', or 'A Guide to Human Conduct'. That is why we can say that bha-vi-sa-ca is intimately linked with human dharma. Bha-vi-sa-ca, always sheds new light on this human journey toward life divine.

The meaning of Bhavisaca was initially given in discourse form by Baba on 1 Oct 1971 in Kolkata. And this may be one of the only times this was reviewed in a discourse.

Baba has given this as a formula for success since it goads aspirants along the path of dharma. Hence, it has long-term and universal benefits & application.


~ In-depth study ~

Now and again some Dadas stand up and talk about the practice of Guru Sakash and how it should be done by repeating the shloka - Pra'tah shirasi shukle'bje - over and over in the mind. But we all know that this is not correct. When doing Guru Sakash, one should use the other mantra to call Baba - and not repeat the Guru Sakash shloka. In a similar manner, someone might make the same mistake with bhavisaca. But the fact is one should follow the points of bhavisaca in a practical manner, not just recite it. So we should examine this further lest this mistake get repeated.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Just like with Guru sakash

Same can be said of the Guru Sakash shloka:

"Pra'tah shirasi shukle'bje".

Repeating that shloka or those specific words during the time of Guru Sakash will not yield any fruit. Rather one is to follow what the shloka says to do: 'Meditate on the Guru in Varabhaya Mudra and chant His Name'.

Unfortunately some in Ananda Marga Pracarka Samgha think they are supposed to repeat the shloka. But that is nothing but their mistaken idea and will not bring any yield, i.e. no bliss. Rather, repeating the mantra - not the shloka - will bring bliss in the practice of Guru Sakash. That dhyana mantra will bring one close to Baba's lotus feet, by His grace.

You love me unconditionally

“Kakhano ami prabhu d́akini tomaya, tumi bhalo besecho more...” (Prabhat Samgiita #3368)
 
Purport:

Baba, I never call You in my sadhana, dhyana, and japa, and I do not cry for Your help in misery and tragedy, but You always love me. You are so caring. My Lord, even by mistake, I do not spend any time doing Your service. Neither do I do any work nor allocate any time to follow Your commands and orders to satisfy You. Even then You go on looking after all my needs and watching over me. You are karuna personified.

Parama Purusa, all in all, my situation is like the dust lying on the floor of the earth. I engage in all kinds of worldly, material pursuits – all the while plunged in mean and lowly thoughts. I never think about You and do not understand how even a blade of grass cannot move without Your approval – if You do not desire. This eternal truth I do not believe. My situation is like one particle of dirt that is lying on the ground. I only view the world in my own selfish way without any Cosmic ideation. Just I continue moving in a negative direction. Lord, You are always gracious. I never call You with deep bhakti, yet You always love me.

Parama Purusa, the dawn of the day comes by Your grace. The smile of the moon in the night is the expression of Your compassion. Baba, this whole created universe is filled with Your exquisite vibration and that takes expression in the form of everyone’s love and affection.

I never call You in my sadhana, and do not cry for Your help in misery and tragedy, but You always love me. Your mercy is causeless...

Special mudras to combat disease

These two mudras - uddayan mudra and utksepa mudra - are very important for all-round health as they serve as prevention and treatment for numerous diseases. In the Ananda Marga Yogic Treatments book, these two mudras are pervasively used. So all should know how to practice these mudras - i.e. when to inhale and when to exhale etc. Actually they are so basic there is no need to ask any acarya etc. The instructions are printed in Caryacarya part 3 for all to see. Everyone has access to this knowledge. People should therefore take it upon themselves to acquire the foundational knowledge of basic Ananda Marga practices, like these two important mudras.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “Ud́d́ayana mudrá: Standing, place the hands above the knees and bend forward a little. Gradually breathe out, to a state of complete exhalation. Keeping the breath out, draw the abdomen and lower abdomen inward as hard as possible, to touch the spine. Maintain this position for eight seconds. Then gradually inhale fully. Practise eight times.” (1)

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “Utkśepa Mudrá: This mudrá should be practised in bed immediately upon waking. While lying on the back, one should flex both the arms and legs, bringing them over the chest, and then return them immediately to the extended position. After doing this three or four times, sit up in bed and drink a glass of cold water without allowing the water to touch the teeth. After this you should expose the navel area to the air, and walk up and down in this way for some time in the open air.” (2)

Tragic tale of extinction

Shabda Cayanika states, “In India some rhinos still exist; they are found in the Duars region of North Bengal and upper Assam, the temperate plains of Bhutan and central Nepal. Everywhere they are counting the days until their final extinction. Human beings of ancient times believed that the medicine made from the rhino's horn could rejuvenate them. So the cruel practice of poaching rhinos prevailed in every age and continues to prevail even today. The situation has come to such a pass that the few one-horned or two-horned rhinos that still remain may disappear any time from the face of the earth. Although there is a slight increase in their population in the Kaziranga Sanctuary of Assam, one rarely comes across them in ordinary forests. The medicinal properties of the rhino horn are neither a verified truth nor has it any scientific basis. Is it not extremely abominable to exterminate an innocent creature due to some wrong notion?” (1)

Vedas: almost erased from history

Ananda Marga teachings state, “Even though the preservation of the Vedas through memorization was made somewhat easier by this tripartite division, it was still a difficult matter. Thereafter the song-predominant portions were collected together and arranged according to their relative antiquity. In many cases, in addition to this time-wise division, an attempt was made to classify the songs according to their metres. Despite making it easier in this way to preserve the Vedas by memorization, they were still on the verge of being erased from the canvas of memory. At one point, after close examination, it was found that many important portions had disappeared – permanently disappeared, never to return again. At that time, a group of pandits from Kashmir disregarded their age-old inhibitions in order to save the Vedas from destruction and set them down in writing for the first time in the old Sáradá script of that region.” (1)

One-word guideline + 4 more

Baba

One-word guideline

Namaskar,

If one wants to bring an entire banyan tree to a distant land then the only option is to carry the seed. Uprooting and lugging a full-grown tree will not do. But by bringing the seed one can get the entire tree. Same then is the case with the seed teaching of Bha-vi-sa-ca. By following this seed guideline, one can incorporate the whole of our Ananda Marga conduct system, i.e. all the dos and don'ts.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


What does bhavisaca mean?

Baba emphasizes Bha-vi-sa-ca on introducing the topic of human conduct. A seed teaching like Bha-vi-sa-ca is quite helpful as it encapsulates some of the key components of a dharmic life in an abbreviated form. And there are numerous other aspects of this Bha-vi-sa-ca sutra that are important to bring into the realm of our knowledge. And those we will uncover step by step. Here then is the actual meaning and breakdown of the Bha-vi-sa-ca guideline.

Actually, Baba's seed teaching or sutra, Bha-vi-sa-ca, is the short form, abbreviation, or boiled down representation of 4 distinct points:

    (1) 'Bha' meaning 'Bhagavan' (God);
    (2) 'Vi' meaning 'Vinay' (modesty);
    (3) 'Sa' meaning 'Samyama' (self-restraint);
    (4) 'Ca' meaning 'Caritra' (conduct).

And each of these above components or branches has their own special import. Here then is the explanation of Bha-vi-sa-ca.


First aspect: “Bha” for Bhagavan (God)

'Bha' for 'Bhagavan': Ours is a God-centered approach to life: Parama Purusa is the nucleus and most charming Entity of this universe. Without His grace nothing can be done. And by our second lesson, i.e Guru mantra, madhuvidya, or brahmacarya, we think about Him before each and every action. So this first syllable or component of the Bha-vi-sa-ca sutra fits in neatly with our entire Ananda Marga philosophy. As by this teaching, Sadguru Baba is directing all sadhakas to think about Parama Purusa always. In all our daily works, big or small, we are to remember Him and seek His grace-compassion. By that way we get stamina to march ahead. That is the essence of 'Bha' in Bha-vi-sa-ca. And by this way one's ideation is sure to be pure; one's conduct is sure to be proper; and the result will be one of success.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Second aspect: “Vi” for vinay (modesty)

'Vi' for 'vinay': In this world, we have many social service works to do. And for that, cooperation is needed; we have to work with others. For this reason modesty is a must. No one likes to work with or be around someone who is arrogant and boastful. That does not bring coordinated cooperation. Rather it repels and disgusts others. So modesty is needed. By this way others will be attracted to come forward and partake in our many social service projects. So vinay stands for humility or humbleness. Everyone always likes to be around a humble person. This gives you the opportunity to serve others; whereas if one is arrogant then others do not like to be around that person. In that case the opportunity to serve is lost. Vinay or modesty is one essential aspect of ideal human conduct, i.e. serving others.


Third aspect: “Sa” for samyama (self-restraint)

'Sa' for 'samyama': As humans, we are mind-oriented beings and we should not be guided by our motor and sensory organs. For this reason Baba strongly emphasizes control or self-restraint over these 10 indriyas. And that is the meaning of samyama, self-restraint. One way of thinking about samyama is simply equating it with our 'Cakuna samvaro' shloka or His teaching of indriyanigraha. In such guidelines, Baba is directing us to have control or restraint over our eyes, nose, and indeed control over all the ten motor and sensory organs. By such self-restraint our conduct will be proper as it will be the expression of a calm mind.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Ananda Marga ideology states, "“Cakśuńá Saḿvaro Sádhu” O spiritual aspirant! O Bhikśu! O monk! O devotee! You should have proper control over your eyes; whatever will have bad effect on your mind, you must not see it. “Sádhu Sotena saḿvaro”. Whatever will have bad effect on your mind, O good man, you must not hear it. “Ghánena Saḿvaro Sádhu.” You should have control over your nose, “Sádhu Jibháya Saḿvaro.” You should have control over your taste. “Káyena Saḿvaro Sádhu.” You should have control over your body. “Sádhu Vácáya Saḿvaro.” You should have control over your language also; and “Savvatha Saḿvaro Bhikśu.” If you want emancipation, if you want liberation from worldly fetters, you must have all-round restraint." (1)


Fourth aspect: “Ca” for caritra (conduct)

'Ca' for 'caritra': Traditionally in India, caritra means not falling into 'lustful' or 'illicit sexual relations' etc. But in our Ananda Marga, caritra extends far beyond that as it deals with one's overall conduct. True enough, we are not to be goaded by the lower vrittis and sensual pleasures, and in addition Baba guides us that are to follow so many do's and don'ts such as sattvika food, no intoxicants, asanas, no groupism etc, etc. So caritra stands as one vast teaching that in all the realms our conduct should be proper-- i.e. along the lines of dharma.


Conclusion

This is the basic essence of the seed-teaching of Bha-vi-sa-ca. And by this way, Baba has given us some of the basic building blocks for an ideal and a pure way of life. A sadhaka’s individual and collective conduct will improve by following His divine guidelines given in the bha-vi-sa-ca sutra. By this way one will be sure to advance along the path of supreme fulfillment, by His grace.

Gopii

Ananda Marga ideology says, "I advise each human being that as long as you are alive, you should try to build yourself in a nice way, in a complete way. But you should not only build yourselves, you should also build human society in the same way." (2)


Carrying seeds not the whole tree

In His discourse, Baba guides us that in His Bha-vi-sa-ca teaching He has given the recipe for good conduct - in seed form. That is part of the key. Because in a pointed, brief, or distilled manner He is outlining the whole of our Ananda Marga conduct rules etc. To explain this, in that Baba discourse, Baba likens the bhavisaca' sutra to carrying a tree to a distant land by carrying just the seeds.

Bhavisaca' is like ERAWS in that ERAWS is an abbreviated way of telling: Education, Relief, and Welfare Section. Similarly, bha-vi-sa-ca is an abbreviated way of telling: Bhagavan - Vinay - Samyama - Caritra.

Bhavisaca is a code word. By remembering it daylong one can see if they are following these teachings. At regular intervals one can check, “Bha-vi-sa-ca: am I following “bha”, am I following “vi”, am I following “sa”, and am I following “ca”.” So this is a very good tool for regular introspection and self-analysis throughout the day. If one does this consistently their personality will become ideal.

It is just Your gift

Note: Those who don't try sincerely to do 6th lesson sadhana, they cannot understand this song.

"Tomári deoá sure tomári bháśá bhare,he prabhu tava tare geye gechi gán..." (Prabhat Samgiita #3192)

Purport:

Parama Purusa, in Your given tune and lyrics, I go on singing the blissful songs for You. It is Your grace. You have taught me the melody, rhythm, and language. I do not have anything to boast about. Only this much I feel: Each and every thing in my existence is expressed through Your energy; it is just Your gift - nothing else. 

When the magical net of avidya maya cast her influence, then I fell into the dungeon and trap of moha. At that time, my mind was enveloped by an intense ego. In that moment, You saved me and made me understand that ego related mundane gains are foolishness. You also told me that You are always there to help me so I need not worry.

Baba, You have filled my life with bhakti. It is like a flower garland of Your love divine. With melody and rhythm, You have showered Your endless blessing and taught me Sixteen Points and all conduct rules. This has brought a new colour and the resonance of the viina’ in my life. You told me that I should look for You within, not without. You whispered to me that Your karuna’ is always upon me, whether I look towards You or not. Baba, by Your grace, I go on singing the song of Supreme love with the tune and melody that has been blessed by You. 

You are ever-gracious....

Note for Prabhat Samgiita #3192:

[1] Moha: This is one of the six enemies or sadripus. Ananda Marga philosophy states, “The deceptive allurement of moha vrtti that [makes] people rush toward their objects of desire without any discrimination.” (1)

Re: Misuse & abuse of expressing gratitude

Namaskar,

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states: "Hypocrites are: Those who are ungrateful to their benefactors." (1)

This point is critically important yet so misused. If a bad person helps you then blindly supporting them in return is not good. Unfortunately, to express their gratitude some naive people end up start supporting those wrongdoers. By this below incident it will be very clear.

Karna was a great hero warrior in the Mahabharata. His only flaw was that he supported the sinful Duryodhana. He blindly supported all the unjust actions of Duryodhana because Duryodhana saved him in a very difficult situation. Karna could not understand the real spirit of this dharmic point. Ultimately Karna’s actions were a blow on dharma and in an untimely way he was killed.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

What to tell your notorious, old helper

Baba has stated that Karna should have politely requested Duryodhana, “O’ Duryodhana, you are my friend and you have helped me a lot in my times of difficulty. I feel gratitude for you and that is why I am advising you not to harass and malign innocent people. Do not do injustice with others. The harmful things you are doing will only invite a terrible catastrophe. For your welfare, I am requesting you to refrain from engaging in these evil misdeeds.”

If Karna would have advised Duryodhana in this manner that would have been real gratitude towards his well-wisher. By hearing Karna’s dharmic expression the evil-minded Duryodhana might have gotten very reacted and tried to retaliate. But regardless, that was the only way. Instead, Karna openly supported whatever sinful dealings Duryodhana did. In result they both met their untimely death. And Karna’s life became a negative example and the epitome of the misuse of the above point from Caryacarya.

A similar turn of events is unfolding these days in our AMPS. Many margiis feel gratitude towards certain dadas / dids , and, in result, those margiis support the wrongdoings of those Wts. By this way they are causing terrible harm to dharma and AMPS at large.

Some key examples are:

• (a) Dharmendra Sinha and Sunil Ananda of Tatanagar who blindly support H group / Rudrananda;
• (b) Bibhanshu Maiti & Tapan Biswas of Delhi, and Nirmal Biswas of Mumbai who blindly support B group / Sarvatmananda;
• (c) Narada (Suva), Dhruva (NY), Dhyanesh (Mumbai) who blindly support H group Rudrananda;
• (d) Kewal Sinha, Kishan Singh Sood, and Dr Bhaskar of Patna who blindly support B group Sarvatmananda.

And list of such types of persons is very, very long; due to a lack of space we cannot list them all here.

These aforementioned people in their delusional way think they are properly following this below point from Caryacarya. But that is wholly wrong. These people got support from their factional party leaders; and to return the favour they outrightly ignore their sinful misdeeds and lick their feet to express their gratitude for their help.

How locking the kitchen harms a child’s personality

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Antisocial behaviour is not always caused by lack of money. Where the parents or guardians are evil by nature, they try to infect the other members of their family with their disease. A few days ago I read in the newspaper that an upper-middle-class lady used to encourage her son to steal clothes, etc., from her neighbours by offering him money for cinema tickets if he did – in other words, by applying indirect pressure. When the incident became public, it was discovered that her family was not in financial difficulty. By putting pressure on her son, the lady was infecting him with her own mental disease.”

“There are many parents who, due to miserliness or whatever reason, deprive their children of delicious food and drink. (If there is some reason for this deprivation, they do not explain it to their children.) They serve such food and drink to others in the presence of their children without explaining to them why they are being deprived. As a result, the children, under the pressure of circumstance, steal to try to satisfy their natural desires.” (1)

Why not to run after money

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “The characteristic (dharma) of the mind is to seek the infinite. The mind attains this goal by concentrating on a particular ideation. As material objects are finite, those who accept them as the aim of life eventually feel frustrated. They fail to attain bliss because neither wealth nor material objects can be enjoyed infinitely. Moreover, those who make material objects their aim in life find their self-interests in conflict with those of other people. They try to deprive others, to protect their own endless greed for wealth and material objects. There will have to be a continuous pressure on the minds of these people to keep them away from material objects. People cannot tolerate such imposition and, on becoming disgruntled, take the path of revolution or counter-revolution against those who pressurize them.”

“Materialism functions by imposing social pressure on people to enjoy material objects; and accepts that as the only mode of operation. Thus, in materialistic countries or societies, people look at one another with suspicion and act according to the information given by the intelligence agencies. In the absence of spiritual ideas, firmness of morality cannot be established. The apparent morality in a materialistic society is nothing but an immoral alliance to protect self-interests.”
