Oponerse al buen trabajo

Baba

Oponerse al buen trabajo

Namaskar,

Al hacer el dharma pracara de Ananda Marga, debemos esperar recibir críticas y abusos de personas que no son margiis, va a pasar. Aquí está la historia de lo que sucedió cuando olvidé esta sagrada verdad.

Contragolpe haciendo pracara

El otro día, vino un hermano margii de mi unidad y luego fuimos a nuestro programa para presentar el enfoque de AM. Hubo muchas reacciones negativas de varios asistentes. Personas de diferentes orígenes se opusieron vociferantemente a nosotros. No fue lo que esperábamos. El programa concluyó y no estábamos seguros de qué pensar: ¿hicimos algo mal? Hicimos sadhana durante unos 40 minutos y luego nos referimos a los discursos divinos de Baba para obtener algo de claridad y comprensión.

Entonces nos encontramos con el shloka, "Nindantu...". Fue entonces cuando toda nuestra frustración y confusión se derritieron y comprendimos por qué nos enfrentábamos a tanta oposición acalorada.

Por favor tome esto como un recordatorio. Todos nosotros en AM debemos tener en mente las siguientes enseñanzas de Baba. Entonces seremos capaces de avanzar sin vacilación y hacer Su obra; sin este entendimiento, estamos condenados a frustrarnos. Las palabras de Baba actúan como una panacea que alerta claramente sobre lo que está por venir y nos mantiene inspirados para avanzar valientemente en el camino del dharma.

La enseñanza de Baba sobre "Nindantu..."


Nindantu niitinpun'a'h yadi va' stuvantu....

Lo siguiente es una selección de las explicaciones divinas de Baba sobre el shloka anterior.

En un resumen en español de Namami Krsnasundaram, Disc: 2, Baba nos dice: Que aquellos bien versados en ética me critiquen o me elogien, como lo deseen; que Laks'mii, la diosa de la riqueza, sea lo suficientemente amable (debido a mis actividades) para residir en mi casa , o, si lo prefiere, irse a otra parte; que la muerte me visite hoy o décadas después. Me importa poco. Las personas sabias nunca se apartarán del camino de la ideología, el camino que aceptan como su ideal. (resumen en español)

En un resumen en español de Ananda Vacanamrtam - 1, “What Do You Want”, Baba nos dice : Los sha'stras dicen que una persona debe apegarse a sus ideales sin importar si recibe elogios o abusos, si la riqueza viene o se va, si vive mil años o sufre la muerte al momento siguiente. Tal persona se llama "dhiira". Mi dirección para ti es que seas dhiira. Debes apegarte a tus ideales a pesar de todo. En esto radica tu crecimiento espiritual. (resumen en español)

En un resumen en español de Subhasita Samgraha - 12, “How an Ideal Person Should Live”, Baba nos dice: Si me preocupo demasiado por aquellos que me alaban o me censuran, no encontraré tiempo para hacer mi verdadero trabajo. Como he venido a este mundo solo por un período corto, mi única preocupación debe ser mantenerme en hacer el deber que el Señor me ha asignado. Y mientras hago este deber asignado, debo recordar que pertenezco a Parama Purus'a. He venido de Él, y tendré que regresar a Él, y para hacer eso, Debo cumplir con mi deber asignado. (resumen en español)

En un reusmen en español de Ananda Vacanamrtam - 12, “Shiva's Seven Secrets”, Baba no dice: ¿Qué voy a hacer con respecto a la misión de la vida? Si los lógicos y los filósofos me condenan diciendo: "Ese es un hombre muy malo", que lo digan. O si, debido a mi movimiento hacia mi objetivo, cierta parte de la sociedad aprecia mi acción, que la aprecien, no me afectará. No seré asaltado por tales apreciaciones. Y si, debido a mi acción, Laks'mii (Laks'mii es el diosa mitológica de las riquezas) viene y reside en mi casa, es bueno. Si Laks'mii dice: "No, te dejaré para siempre, no me quedaré contigo". es decir, tendrás que sufrir de pobreza, deja que Laks'mii abandone mi casa: Y si, debido a mi proceder, debido a mi ideología, Plutón, es decir, el dios de la muerte, viene y dice: “Yo te llevo”, ¡que Plutón lo haga! ¡No me importa! O si por mi curso de acción, por mi ideología, me veo obligado a vivir aquí por tiempo indefinido, estoy listo para vivir aquí. Sabes que la vida se vuelve aburrida si uno vive durante mucho tiempo, pero estoy dispuesto a soportar ese aburrimiento, esa monotonía, por el bien de mi ideología. (resumen en español)

Por lo tanto, todos debemos esforzarnos por inculcar Sus enseñanzas anteriores en nuestras propias vidas. Entonces siempre nos mantendremos firmes en la ideología y no seremos disuadidos cuando nos enfrentemos a problemas y dificultades. Tendremos la fuerza y la conciencia para seguir adelante, independientemente de las consecuencias.

La bendición de Baba


Por Su gracia, aquellos que se adhieren al camino del dharma son siempre victoriosos. Y al final el mundo se da cuenta de sus grandes contribuciones, sin importar cuánto fueron vilipendiados antes. Esa es la ley natural y la proclamación divina de Baba. Por lo tanto, nunca debemos desanimarnos o sentirnos frustrados cuando enfrentamos abusos por parte de personas que no son margiis; solo debemos seguir adelante apegados a nuestro ideal, sabiendo que la victoria está asegurada.

En un resumen en español de Ananda Vacanamrtam - 6, “The Physical, Psychic and Spiritual Strata”, Baba nos dice: Debes construir una nueva sociedad humana lo antes posible. Con respecto a aquellos que probablemente creen obstáculos en tu camino, déjalos que lo hagan. Debes recordar que aquellos que son los verdaderos pioneros, los verdaderos vanguardistas de la sociedad, son siempre una minoría microscópica, pero son ellos los que están destinados a salir victoriosos. Los que una vez se opusieron, o se oponen ahora o se opondrán en el futuro, admitirán en el futuro: “Sí, ahora estamos conduciendo nuestro vehículo con seguridad y comodidad por el mismo camino que una vez abrió esa vanguardia al despejar la selva”. Esto significa que aquellos que despejaron los obstáculos al principio serán reconocidos más tarde como pioneros. Lo gracioso es esto, que la gente no da el reconocimiento en el momento debido. Esta es la ley natural. Y al mismo tiempo debes recordar también esta simple verdad: que en una jungla el número de tigres y leones es siempre bajo; los chacales los superan en número. Sin embargo, en la jungla los tigres y los leones reinan por encima de todo, no los chacales. Los chacales seguramente aullarán, eso es su naturaleza; pero los tigres y los leones no se asustarán. (resumen en español)

Namaskar,
Nandini

Story: wts’ uniform + 3 more

Baba

Story: wts’ uniform

Namaskar

In the late 1960's when the negative conduct of certain Wts came to light and margiis saw this for the first time, then they brought the matter to Sadguru Baba.

Monks or Wts, Wholetimer workers, workers, cadres, karmiis


Then Baba lovingly replied: Why are you thinking that they are holy monks. They are Wts, wholetimer workers, workers, cadres, karmiis. Just like different military and police departments have their particular uniform, in the same way our Wts have their uniform. Because they are dedicated for the society, that is why they have a saffron uniform. Saffron means dedication.

Baba furthermore explained: To do social service, workers are needed; so these people are workers. When the society is itself degraded then we will not get thousands and thousands of very elevated souls. Yet we need thousands and thousands of Wts who will be engaged 24hrs in social service. So that is why our WT system was made.

Baba added: Just as other public departments and organisations have rules and regulations for their cadres, in the same way our cadres also have their conduct rules. And if anybody is not following those rules and instead involving in misdeeds, their conduct will be reviewed by the concerning boards. Because those tattvika, acarya, avadhuta, and purodha boards have been created to rectify and punish wholetimers - as needed. This entire system has been devised for this very purpose. It was certain that negative things were going to happen amongst our Wt ranks, but still society needed dedicated workers to serve the society. So workership and monkhood have nothing to do with each other.

In the last Baba told: If you remove this idea or false expectation from your mind that all our WTs are holy due to their dress, then all your complaints will dissipate.

After hearing this, the margiis did sastaunga pranam to Baba and came out.

Baba exposes those hypocrites hiding in saffron

Baba strongly condemns the person whose cloth is dyed and not the mind. Here in this following quote from Subhasita Samgraha Baba says:

Ananda Marga ideology says, "Nothing will result from dyeing one's clothes with saffron colour only for show. Dye yourself within.  People of some particular religious creeds think that dyeing their clothes or bodies with a particular colour is a part of spiritual Sa'dhana'. But remember that is all useless, unless you are dyed within as well."

Ananda Marga ideology states,

   "Mana na' ra'inga'ile ra'inga'ile yogi ka'par'a.

   Saffron and red do not a yogiis make
   With mind undyed he remains a fake."

"Dye your mind with His colour. Those who have not done so cannot attain Him, for this very coloration is Prema or Divine Love...  No external sign of Sa'dhuta' or virtue is  necessary.  Become sa'dhu  within. Behind the external show of virtuousness of many so-called sa'dhus exists a pharisaic state of mind. Preserve the true dignity of the word, Sa'dhu."

   "Mu'd'a mu'd'a'ye jata' v'ar'aye....

   With shaven head or matted locks
   And ashen body a Sadhu walks
   With the swaggering gait of a well-fed buffalo.
   And crude mind filled with thoughts mean and low."

"That is why I say that you must bring about a revolutionary change in the flow of your judgment and thought, and see how, after overcoming your fascination with external colour, your mind becomes tinged with His glorious colour." (1)

Namaskar,
in Him,
Trinetra

Who is worthy of respect

Being a Wt, a person has more scope for sadhana, service and sacrifice, because they are dedicated for this type of life. So if they are sincere in all their conduct rules and deeply engaged in sadhana, service and sacrifice, and their overall conduct is ideal, then surely they should be given proper recognition, regard, and respect. This above letter is related with the dogma of treating someone as holy because of their dress alone. Ananda Marga aims to establish respect based on conduct. If a Wt or margii is of good conduct then accordingly they will get respect. That time has yet to come. We have to bring that era as soon as possible because that is what Baba wants.

Plagiary?
It is the accepted international standard and Baba's system not to copy another's work and publish it in your own way. Baba has given a very strict rule on plagiarism. Why is Baba against plagiarism or stealing someone's work? There are many reasons:
1) It is against the code of asteya (non-stealing).
2) Countless stories of bhaktas need to be published. But some do not want to do the hard work of compiling and writing these stories, so they just steal them from others. But new stories need to be told, otherwise so many unpublished stories of sadhakas will be lost and forgotten forever. So watch out for story thieves, and kindly help them not to steal by posting on social media in their own way. If you want to forward this story then attach the following yellow section with the story: 
“Courtesy of unknown bhakta via Ananda Marga Universal (https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/)”
This will be treated as the standard protocol.

I will do everything for You

"Áloker path cháŕibo ná ámi, áloker path cháŕibo ná..." (Prabhat Samgiita #0337)

Purport:

My Parama Purusa, by Your grace, I will not leave the path of sadhana, bhakti, or the path of refulgence. I will tread on the path which You have shown me. By Your mercy and guidance, I will mold myself according to Your desire and make my mind straight and simple. My thoughts, speech, and actions will be one, not three. I shall never bow down before human-shaped animals, to those sinful forces. By Your krpa, I will fight and destroy them. 

Baba, the Supreme Entity, I shall move on the straight path, the road of satya, not the ways of duplicity or hypocrisy. I shall speak the plain satya - frankly, and deeply engage in Your thought, in Your sadhana. I will not extol myself in front of anyone, nor eulogize my own existence, nor propagate my own personality on any occasion. I will never promote myself or invite acclaim. My Lord, You have taught me to propagate the glories of the Supreme. I will sing the grandeur of Parama Purusa - not anyone else - and l will refrain from praising myself.

Parama Purusa, I have come on this earth to do Your work. My Lord, Your váńiis, Your teachings are the vital force of my life. They are my prana dharma and very important for me. I will meditate on my Guru and propagate His greatness. Baba, the Parama Purusa, whether sleeping, dreaming, or when awake and conscious, by Your sweet will I shall not recite, chant, or sing anything but Your holy name...


== Section: Important Teaching ==

Treating the elderly


   Ananda Marga philosophy states, “A grown up man does not like that others should call him grown up. An old man does not like that others should tell him old. Do you know, why they do not like to be said so? The adults or the aged are nearing death. This means that one is drawing nearer death as one grow up and this is why one does not like to be told grown up or old. Taking this for granted regarding human psychology, you shall arrange for two or three items in the programme for the old to enjoy, so that they may think at least for a short time that they are not old, they have sufficient energy still left in them.”
   “Take pains to see that all join in the utsava. Give full opportunity to all the artists to make a display of their talents in art. Remember that taking food together is a special feature in a utsava, without which half of the pleasure of a utsava is marred.” (1)

== Section: Important Teaching ==

Your neighbours, your friends, are suffering from food then


Ananda Marga ideology, “Saḿgacchadhvaḿ” “moving together” does not mean march or double march, here “moving together” means that all portions of society, all portions of the collective body, should have the spirit to move ahead. Suppose you have gathered sufficient money, and there is no dearth of food in your house, but the remaining portion of society, your neighbours, your friends, are suffering from a dearth of money, or food, or clothes. Then it means that you are not following the spirit of “saḿgacchadhvam”. “Saḿgacchadhvam” means to build a strong, well-knit society where there shall be no exploitation, no superiority complex or inferiority complex.” (1)

In all realms, Baba' teachings are crystallized points of dharma - very concise. So to properly understand any guideline or teaching, it demands a little concentration or mental thought. For example a group of fools may think that by walking together to McDonald's for a hamburger they are following samgacchadvam, since they are all "moving together". But that has nothing to do with samgacchadvam.

Here the point is that a literal interpretation of Guru's teachings will never work. Rather greater explanation is needed to get the proper picture. That is why when Baba has given the pin-pointed sutras of Ananda Sutram, then side by side He also gives a purport so that those distilled teachings, i.e. sutras, can be understood in the proper way. This should be done with each and every aspect of Sixteen Points. Because Guru's teaching is distilled and given in seed form.
