Baba is in my group + 3 more

Baba

Baba is in my group

Namaskar,

For some time, the level of the group clash in our Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha has been intense. Each faction is fighting for their own survival and dominance, all the while thinking that Baba is supporting their party, i.e. their narrow cause. Verily, all think that “Baba is on my side”, or “I am sure Baba is in my group.” This is the situation playing out these days in our AMPS. Let us see which side Baba is on.

Preview:
1. All are aware of the existing group clash in Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha;
2. Similar divisions led to the ruination of so many;
3. All groups in Ananda Marga  Pracaraka Samgha think, “Baba is on my side”;
4. Such factional people lost Ananda Marga ideology by ruining BP rights, distorting AM scripture, imposing dogmas (tiirthas, priestocracy, etc), selling AMPS properties for personal gain, weaponizing expulsion - and more.
5. Then how can they please Ista – they cannot;
6. Adhering to our neo-humanistic ideology is the solution to the group fight.


Each group's mentality: "Baba is only with my group"

Here Baba signals how it has happened in Buddhism.

Baba says, "[In 1936], a war was going on between two countries, the citizens of which have the same religion (Buddhist). When the soldiers went to war, their mothers used to pray to Lord Buddha to save the lives of their respective sons. What will Lord Buddha do? Save this man or that man? Both have the same “Is't'a,” but both parties have totally forgotten their ideology. If they were established in the ideology, they would not have gone to war.” (1)

Although AM is not a religion, the point is that when any religion reaches the stage of illogical fanaticism or groupism, then they appeal to their preceptor to support their selfish cause, utterly forgetting the very teachings given by their preceptor. And in that way, members of the same religion fight against and even kill one another, thereby transgressing all the codes and teachings given by their preceptor.

All suffering from the same problem. As they divide into various factions, each party is thinking that their preceptor is only with their group.


Fight for group cause - not for bhagavad dharma

Unfortunately, now all the groups in Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha (AMPS) are marching down a similar road. Read any group propaganda letter or stand outside almost any AMPS function, and you can see such things taking place. Indeed, these battles are verily occurring in courtrooms around the globe, in various sectors, as each group tries to gain the upper hand.

For the sake of their petty interests and groupist survival, fights are breaking out over jagrtis, master units, Prout bhavans, retreat sites etc. Countless physical properties of AMPS have been divided up and are being treated as battles zones. Indeed, heated battles are taking place left and right, and amidst it all, the various factions think, "I am sure Baba is in my group". That is the very real belief that permeates their mental plate.

Yet what they forget is that what they are doing is not consistent with Baba’s teachings. They have lost adarsha, i.e. His teachings. And when they have lost adarsha or Ananda Marga dharma, then how is it that Parama Purusa can be pleased. In that case, how is it that Baba is really on their side? So with this defective mentality they are hurting and harming other Ananda Margiis for their own selfish gain.

Baba is on the side of neo-humanism, not any group


No particular faction is standing for Baba and holding the flag of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha. Because their fight is for a narrow cause. It is certain that Baba is not in any group. Baba is on the side of neo-humanism and on the side of every dharmic person. He is not on the side of any group - i.e. of narrow agenda. Remember, where there is a group there is no neo-humanism, i.e. no dharma.

Namaskar,
In Him,
Vijay Deva

~ In-depth study ~

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Neohumanism will give new inspiration and provide a new interpretation for the very idea of human existence. It will help people understand that human beings, as the most thoughtful and intelligent beings in this created universe, will have to accept the great responsibility of taking care of the entire universe, will have to accept that the great responsibility for the entire universe rests on them." (2)

To promote welfare must embrace universalism


Ananda Marga philosophy states, “It is observed that communalism, casteism, provincialism and nationalism are all of the same defective type. Those who are able to capitalize on one of these sentiments advocate it volubly. In fact, every one of these sentiments suffers from the defect of ism, and is completely filled with narrowness, violence, envy, mean mindedness, etc. Those who enter the field of social welfare by creating divisions between “yours” and “mine”, substantially widen the fissures of fissiparous intellect in human society." (3)

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Those who want to promote the welfare of all human beings, remaining above all sorts of parochial sentiments, have no alternative but to embrace universalism with their heart and soul – there is no other way. As universalism is totally devoid of any characteristic of ism, it is not proper to depict universalism as an ism. If everyone is looked upon as one's own, no one remains beyond the periphery of ones kith and kin. Naturally, then, there is no scope for violence, envy, narrowness, etc." (4)

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Beware of those who want to divide people, those who try to erect walls of artificial separation between pure and simple human beings by encouraging narrow geo-sentiments and socio-sentiments. These people are lokavyámohakárakáh – they try to inject the diseases of narrowness into human minds – you should beware of them." (5)

Nothing done with a narrow outlook will last


Baba has blessed us with the teachings that will serve as the guiding light for creating one AMPS and leading the entire humanity unto the path of benevolence.

Baba says, “O human beings, try to understand the needs of humanity and build an appropriate social system. Do not try to do anything for your petty personal or group interests, because nothing done with a narrow outlook bereft of Cosmic ideation will last. The cruel hand of time will obliterate all your achievements and plunge them into an oblivion you cannot fathom.” (6)

Indeed, our first and foremost duty is to strictly adhere to His guidelines; that is the only way to overcome groupism. When the mind is ensconced in neo-humanistic feelings, then such battles will never occur. Rather there will be a joining of the minds and natural unity within AMPS. Then all really will be doing for Baba as their actions will be according to His teachings.

Only sadhana can remove the narrowness of mind


Ananda Marga ideology states, "The narrowness of a unit mind in bondage is removed by the sustained effort to perform sádhaná at home and in the society at large. Through the all-embracing practice of sádhaná one will achieve the fullest expression of one's potentialities. If the mind is narrow, Brahma sádhaná is futile." (7)

You are the Divine Creator

"Sandhya' bela'y ba'luka' bela'y bose bose bha'vi tava katha'..." (Prabhat Samgiita #2671)

Purport:

Parama Purusa, in the evening on the sandy shore, I was sitting contemplating Your grandeur and glory. My Cosmic Father, what an amazing image You have made by manifesting this panoramic universe. By Your grace, all this was coming in my psyche. Baba, You are that infinite, Supreme One. 

Parama Purusa, everything is residing within Your mind; You are the Divine Creator. In this vast cosmos, in Your inner realm You are imagining so many shooting stars that are racing across the sky, as well as so many mountains that are crumbling to the ground. Every single expression is part and parcel of Your grand, mental display. There are innumerable galaxies floating in space all by themselves - singing the tales of Your magnificence. You are the Supreme Progenitor. Everything is happening within Your mental plate - within Your Cosmic Citta. Whatever occurs in this material world is Your thought projection. What You think is reality for us. Baba, You are the Maker as well as that Witnessing Entity. Everything is residing within Your vast psychic arena.

Parama Purusa, You watch for the welfare of one and all. You care for and nurture each and every entity. No matter how big or small, large or tiny, You look upon all with equal love and affection. Everyone and everything is significant for You. You think about those huge, mammoth elephants which demonstrate their power by forcefully stomping through the wild jungles, and You listen to the little stories of those tiny honey bees that gently hover and buzz around the delicate flowers. You look after every being. For You, all have equal importance and great significance. Baba, with Your causeless compassion, You are the caretaker of humans, animals, plants, and the various inanimate objects. You are that Benevolent Witnessing Entity, and everything is unfolding within Your mind.

Baba, in my mind when I see You then I feel so close and loving. I go on thinking about Your magnanimity and vastness, as Controller of this entire, vast universe...


Notes for Prabhat Samgiita #2671:

[1] Cosmic Citta: This entire universe is His thought projection.

Ananda Marga ideology says, "We may say that universe is the manifestation of the Cosmic Citta, born out of psychic vibrations. All the tanma'tras of sound, touch, form, taste and smell that are composed of different kinds of vibrational currents resulting from the gradually crudifying expressions of the Cosmic Consciousness under the influence of the static principle of Prakrti. They are the analytic expressions of those universal rhythms or vibrations. Thus the visible world is created through the gradual crudifications of His thought-projection. The thought-waves, metamorphosing from subtle to the crude manifestations and then, on their way back to their nuclear origin from the crude to the subtle, assuming the mentally developed human form, are indeed guiding the thought-wave cycles towards their ultimate fulfillment. Since the world is His thought-projection, it may be said that this visible world is only His act of thinking and abides only in His imagination. Due to the vibration of Cosmic Citta these variegated forms have blossomed forth through newer and newer thoughts, forms and waves, following one another in succession." (1)

[2] Supreme Witnessing Entity: The Divine Entity that bear witness to everything in this entire cosmos.

Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "He is witnessing everyone and everything. Whatever is being created is a different stage of creation. He is the subject and all other entities are His objects. He is the Witnessing Entity because He is the Supreme controller." (2)

[3] Equal Love and Affection for All: Parama Purusa looks upon all with equal love and affection.

Sama plus'in'a' sa'ma mashakena
Sama na'gena sama ebhistribhih lakaeh

Ananda Marga ideology states, "He looks upon a tiny white ant with as much love and affection as on a mosquito. Nor does He think of a large mammoth more than other entities, for a mammoth has a mind just as an ant has. So He thinks equally of all: He thinks of a white ant or a mosquito with the same seriousness as of a mammoth or an elephant, and He attaches same importance to each individual creature as to all the three worlds." (3)

Reason why bhaktas are fearless

Ananda Marga ideology says, “Parama Puruśa, the Supreme Entity, the Supreme Lord, He loves His devotees very much. He can do anything and everything for His devotees, and actually He does. A devotee should always be fearless, because Parama Puruśa is always ready to do anything and everything for him." (1)

== Section: Important Teaching ==

Already late today – more time for sádhaná tomorrow

Ananda Marga ideology states, "It has been said earlier that the grace of Parama Puruśa is only showered on devotees. His grace is all that matters. It is true that the people of knowledge (jiṋániis) and the people of action (karmiis) may labour harder, but it is the devotees (bhaktas) alone who attain Parama Puruśa. There are two major obstacles on the path of knowledge: lethargy and vanity. A vain person remains far away from Parama Puruśa. Of all the different types of lethargy, spiritual lethargy is the worst. Spiritual lethargy means not to sit for meditation regularly. Those with spiritual lethargy have time for all other actions, but for spiritual practice there seems to be no time. They say, “It's already late today – I'll do a short meditation right now, and devote more time to sádhaná tomorrow.” They sit attentively inside the cinema hall, but in dharma sádhaná they feel sleepy."

Debes aprender de dharma samiiksa

Baba

Debes aprender de dharma samiiksa

Namaskar,

Un ejemplo claro del método dhármico de Baba es dharma samiiksa. Todos saben que Baba llamaba a miles y miles de personas para el dharma samiiksa. Esta fue una gran ayuda para la sociedad. Y en dharma samiiksa, con gran amor y preocupación, el omnisciente Baba señalaría las debilidades y defectos de uno. Pondría de relieve los deméritos más graves de una persona, como la mentira, la hipocresía, el engaño, la pereza, etc.

A menudo, en dharma samiiksa, Baba revisaba con mucho amor, pero con firmeza, el carácter de esa persona. Ese individuo también tenía tantas buenas cualidades, sin embargo, Baba no pasaba el precioso tiempo hablando de esas buenas cualidades. Más bien, con Su suprema benevolencia, bendeciría con Su gracia a ese sadhaka reprendiéndolo por sus fechorías. De esta manera, crecerían, por Su gracia.

Y todos sabemos que Baba es nuestro mayor bienqueriente. Debido a Su misericordia y bondad, todos nos estamos moviendo en el camino de la suprema veracidad. Por lo tanto, ninguna persona sensata puede acusar a Baba de ser injusto o negativo porque Él haya señalado sus defectos. En cambio, todo verdadero sadhaka reconoce que debido a Su infinito amor, Baba ha revisado cuidadosa y amorosamente nuestra conducta para que podamos crecer de la mejor manera posible. Esto muestra claramente que aquellos que aman a alguien o algo siempre serán los primeros en señalar los errores y problemas.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Baba señala el lado negativo para resolver

Ahora veamos otra de las formas dhármicas de Baba de guiar a la humanidad. En Sus enseñanzas Prout, Baba señala innumerables defectos en la sociedad. Habla de los pasos en falso en tantos campos: ciencia, religión, medicina, literatura, educación, política, agricultura y en todos los ámbitos de la vida. Baba se ha preocupado tanto por los deméritos de la sociedad que incluso escribió una serie completa de libros titulados "Algunos problemas resueltos". Luego hay otro libro titulado, "Problemas del día".

Al mismo tiempo han sucedido tantas cosas buenas en nuestra sociedad: excelentes hospitales, buenas carreteras, exploración espacial, grandes inventos, etc. Pero Baba no pasa mucho tiempo en Sus discursos destacando y elogiando todos los logros de la sociedad. En cambio, ha invertido miles y miles de páginas hablando de los males de la sociedad: dogmas religiosos, políticas torcidas, programas económicos defectuosos, enfermedades, enfermedades, crímenes y guerras, etc.

Pero, ¿quién puede entonces acusar a Baba de ser un enemigo de la sociedad? Más bien, Él es el Padre amoroso de todos, esta es Su creación, y es por un profundo amor y cuidado que Él ha hablado sobre los problemas de la sociedad. Y debido a que Parama Purusa Baba gentilmente ha señalado los defectos, gradualmente todos pueden entender lo que necesita ser arreglado, y entonces la sociedad crecerá de la manera apropiada. Ese es el método dhármico de Baba. Y todo se basa en un amor muy, muy profundo.

Para arrojar luz sobre lo anterior, echemos un vistazo a ejemplos comunes y cotidianos de la sociedad en general.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


¿Por qué los periódicos siempre informan de los problemas?

Si en un pueblo, una fábrica cumple con éxito su cuota diaria de producción, entonces el periódico local no escribirá una historia sobre esa buena noticia. Porque esa es la expectativa, todos los días esa fábrica cumple con su cuota. Sin embargo, si hay una explosión en esa misma fábrica y mueren 20 trabajadores, entonces ese periódico enviará inmediatamente un reportero al lugar e imprimirá un gran artículo sobre ese desastre e incluirá fotos también.

Entonces no se puede culpar al periódico por solo resaltar cosas negativas. Más bien, el papel del periódico es alertar a la gente del pueblo sobre la calamidad y ayudar a iniciar una investigación para que no ocurra otra explosión en el futuro. Este ejemplo también denota cómo aquellas personas que son más responsables y tienen la mayor preocupación serán las primeras en alertar a los demás si hay un problema. Y su única intención es arreglar la situación y hacer que todo esté bien. Por el contrario, aquellos a quienes no les importa se mantendrán en silencio. Es posible que ni siquiera reconozcan que hay un problema.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Deber del médico de averiguar el defecto en el cuerpo

Visitar al médico: si una persona no se siente bien, pagará para ir al médico con la expectativa de encontrar el problema y solucionarlo. El paciente quiere curarse y ese es el trabajo del médico, es decir. para curar al paciente. Entonces, si una persona va al médico y el médico solo le informa sobre las partes que funcionan y no dice nada sobre la dolencia, entonces ese paciente se sentirá muy decepcionado. Ese paciente no estará contento y exigirá un informe médico adecuado del médico. Porque el trabajo del médico es encontrar con benevolencia la parte enferma del cuerpo y curarla. Si la persona se sentía bien al principio, entonces no había necesidad de ir al médico.

Mantenimiento de carreteras: si una carretera en particular se limpia y el departamento de mantenimiento de carreteras no le dice nada a nadie y solo informa que la mayoría de las carreteras funcionan bien, entonces eso será completamente falso. Más bien, el departamento de mantenimiento de carreteras estará muy interesado en informar una y otra vez que la Ruta 268 está en mal estado y todos tendrán que desviarse. Así es como un buen departamento de mantenimiento vial manejará la situación. Aquí, su objetivo es mantener a todos a salvo y alertarlos sobre el peligro de la carretera arrasada. Su intención es totalmente benévola.

Entonces la cuestión es que en todos estos casos los que tienen mucha inquietud y están en puestos de responsabilidad siempre señalarán el problema con el objetivo de solucionarlo. Ese es el principio operativo. Si las cosas van bien, entonces no hay necesidad de traer el asunto a la vista. Pero cuando surge un problema, definitivamente debe identificarse y resolverse de la mejor manera posible. Este es el enfoque común que vemos que sucede todos los días en todo el mundo cada vez que surge un problema.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Quién hace alboroto, y quién no


Todo el enfoque del neohumanismo es mirar a todos con amor y ayudarlos a crecer al señalar sus defectos. Y ese mismo enfoque, cuando se aplica a Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha, conducirá a una organización brillante y brillante, libre de dogmas y explotación. Esto es lo que están haciendo los dharmikas hoy en día. Por lo tanto, aquellos que aman a Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha siempre señalarán los problemas y las dificultades. Ese es nuestro dharma, no hay otra manera.

Aquí hay un resumen en español de la enseñanza en hindi de Sadguru Baba de EGD 25 de noviembre de 1978 Bombay, “Tomar refugio en Satya es la esencia de la Sadhana”:

Si nuestra propias personas cercanas, familiares o cualquiera se desvía de la verdad o carece de sinceridad, tienes que oponerte a ellos. No los toleres. No importa si son miembros de nuestra propia familia. Si nuestras propias personas cercanas son deshonestas y poco sinceras, entonces son más peligrosas. ¿Por qué? Si una serpiente vive fuera de la casa en la naturaleza, es peligrosa, pero si esa serpiente entra dentro de la casa, entonces es más peligrosa. Por lo tanto, debería uno oponerse con mayor fuerza a ellos [nuestros allegados]. (Resumen en español del hindi: EGD 25 de noviembre de 1978 Bombay)

En Su pauta anterior, Baba explica que los elementos malos en la sociedad son peligrosos, pero los elementos malos dentro de tu propia casa, dentro de tu organización, son más peligrosos. No los toleres, opóngase a ellos con benevolencia. Para que puedan rectificar sus caminos y convertirse en un activo para nuestra Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha.

Conclusión


En Su pauta anterior, Baba explica que los elementos malos en la sociedad son peligrosos, pero los elementos malos dentro de tu casa, dentro de tu organización, son más peligrosos. No los toleres, opóngase a ellos con benevolencia. Para que puedan rectificar sus caminos y convertirse en un activo para nuestra sociedad Ananda Marga. Es por eso que la denuncia de irregularidades es muy importante para los verdaderos sadhakas.

namaskar,
En Él,
Parimal

Traducción al español: 
Con amor a Sus pies
en Él
Amrta

~ Estudio en profundidad ~

Pregunta: ¿Encontrará algún ser humano cuerdo en este mundo que no grite si su casa se incendia?

Respuesta: No, no lo harás.

Entonces cada sadvipra tiene el deber de ser un denunciante. Si ocurrió alguna catástrofe y alguien la vio pero no levantó un alboroto, significa que esa persona no es un ser humano y mucho menos un sadvipra. Él o ella es una lombriz de tierra.
