Gems of sublime vision
- It is imperative for me to stand by Truth and silently fade away. I cannot be disloyal to my love of Truth. I cannot show my back in this battle. Though unknown, ignored, disrespected, and hated, I can die in peace only if I remain loyal to my life-vow and die struggling for it.
- Yeah …even if my physical death proves the end of my individual entity, I cannot go astray from the path of my life mission. This life is a continuous continual struggle!
- O man! Thee not only body but soul too; Do not waste your time pursuing material things.
- I am a tree of divine life which produces blessed fruits. He, who gets associated with me, like a branch is to a tree, not only avoids harm to himself and others but also produces blessed fruits in his own life and in the life of others.
- I am ship of hope for the souls drowning in the ocean of evil life. I am like yeast for saving, improving and bettering the fallen communities and nations. I consider it a supreme ideal of my unique life to bring about the day, and to produce men of very high character who can prove a leaven to raise their own countrymen to spread untold blessings for them and for other kingdoms of Nature.
- I want to herald a religion on this earth which will be destructive of all sins and evils and which will produce men of trust and character through whom human relations will be in all respects sweet and blessed. I want to establish a religion which gives true moksha to human souls and fashions high character in them that they prove a complete blessing for all living beings.
- On being free from the influence of every evil-prone motive and on being equipped with every higher-feeling-constituting complete religious life, it was to be inevitable for me to enjoy the state of highest peace and highest bliss. I did attain to such absolutely valuable and most beneficial peace and such absolutely valuable and most useful bliss.
- On being in the state of sublime life I am truly desirous of higher evolution of every order of Nature. On establishing beneficial relation with every order of Nature, I use my energies for its good. I take to the spiritual exercises to reach my higher influences in less or more degree to every order of Nature. I keep engaged in higher thought and higher conduct. Therefore, there descend in me higher “RAS” and sublime bliss.
- Just as the earth becomes more and more wet as it rains, so the more I engage myself in noble thought, higher love, and higher conduct; there is greater and greater production of divine satisfaction. This ecstasy is not that kind of intoxication which is produced by taking of harmful poisonous things like hemp (bhang), wine, or opium. This ecstasy is produced by religious life. It is free from all elements of poison and is all beneficial for the soul. This higher “RUS” is clear of all impurities. It is life-giving relish and therefore it is called nectar. This sector does not sprout in any heart without deliverance from one’s evil feelings, without gaining purity and innocence of heart and without engagement in one or another altruistic activity. It does not grow into full bloom without complete deliverance from evil dispositions and development of all-sided religious life.
- I cannot deviate even to the infinitesimal extent from following the evolutionary laws of Nature, in my soul, even though this earth of ours may shatter into pieces or our sun may set for ever.
- Our sun may stop shedding its light or our earth may give way under our feet and breaks into pieces, but I being a complete lover of truth, come what may, can never, trample upon any truth, which alone dawns upon me, and being a complete lover of goodness, can never go astray from the path of goodness and betterment.
- You cannot degrade me by your constant viciousness. I cannot be influenced by you despite remaining with you. You must flee from me, after tormenting me and harming yourself one day.
- To fight on, to fight on for my unique mission has been a life principal with me, even at the point of perishing.
- Exerting constantly for the realization of my unique supreme goal or my life vow, even at the point of death, has remained my foremost aim. Hold on, hold on is the whisper that I hear from within and certainly, I will hold on. Weeping and wailing and struggling I will hold on.
- I am not bound with any man or any other existence. I am only a complete lover of truth and goodness, and my relationship with all is primarily based on truth and goodness.
- The life force which does not do any constructive work is bound to die.
- The only two things humans should love in this world are Devatma and selfless service to others.
- The manifestation of Dev Dharma or divinity has not taken place in a stone or a tree but in my soul and all its higher excellences are in my soul.
- Foolish are they who seek the manifestation and the excellence and blessings of the sublime life in sources other than me.
- I have appeared as a special manifestation for those persons who on being given to self-will and lost in soul-ignorance are destroying themselves through engaging themselves in worldly ambitions and sins. I want to disengage them from the worldly life and put them in commune with me so as to save them from death and to make them heir to superior and pure life and its blissful fruits.
- Due to terribly stormy opposition by my opponents, my nervous system got shattered by their inflicting horrible and painful sufferings. I was on death bed due to severe illness but ultimately when I recovered from my serious illness, my inner spiritual light shone with greater illumination. On the one hand, I saw and felt sympathy for, the pitiable state of millions of people, bereft of this light, living an ugly life of spiritual ignorance and on the other hand I realized the excellence of the nature of the light in me. During this time, I felt a strong urge to say something about this light and inspired by this thought, I had the following sentences taken down by a disciple of mine:
- I have in me a new light for you. Commune with me and get the light that is in me.
- Only through communion with me and by getting my light, you can see and realize all those truths that pertain to Dev Dharma or true divine life.
- Are there not some among you who have obtained my light and are able to see and realize more or less my teachings?
- Do not forget that the light that you have obtained so far is meagre and so in that little light you are able to see very little. Apart from some elementary truths you are able to see the subtle truths of divine life only dimly and that also occasionally.
- The more my light enters your soul, the more you will be able to see clearly and vividly the truths of divine life. The more this light grows bright and stable in you, the more you will be able to get rid of your low life which, instead of exposing you to spiritual light, keeps you in the darkness of appetites and passions.
- The more you get my light, the more you will be in a position to enlighten others who are comparatively in greater darkness than you.
- In the spiritual darkness, a soul is led astray from the spiritual path and goes the way of death. My light takes a soul out of darkness, puts him on the spiritual path and delivers it from death, unto life.
- Remember, it is not the sound of my words which carries light to your soul. It is through your communion with me that you are illumined with my light.
- Give up all forms of your disloyalty to me and commune with me with all your heart so that my light may illumine you more and more.
- The light I have received is not meant for me only but it is for others also. In fact, it is for all.
- The souls should receive from me the light which has been given to me for their welfare. They should not deprive themselves of its life- giving blessings through disloyalty to me due to some evil passion.
- Blessed are those souls who rise above their undue attachment to ego or evil relatives who increase their spiritual darkness or the worldly opinion and come or want to come under my light which delivers them from spiritual darkness and death.
- Every soul who unites with me in love and surrenders to my influences, gives up his past evil and gains a new, pure, and noble life.
- The extent to which a soul assimilates my higher influences, through communion with me, to that extent he is illumined by that new light by which he is enabled to see and realize more and more the reality and the laws of spiritual life.
- The extent to which a soul assimilates higher influences through communion with me, to that extent he develops love for such virtues and blessings of divine life and its laws for which he has developed capacity to know and realize the truth.
- The extent to which a soul assimilates higher influences through communion with me, to that extent he shapes himself into divine life of which I am the ideal manifestation.
- The extent to which a soul assimilates my higher influences through communion with me, to that extent he develops hatred for all those sins for which I have hatred.
- The extent to which a soul assimilates my higher influences through communion with me, to that extent he develops love for the four fundamental truths about my divine life, namely, Eternity, Truth, Justice, and Goodness.
- The extent to which a soul assimilates my higher influences through communion with me, to that extent he develops pain for his evil thoughts and actions.
- The power of divine life which is like leaven in me, demolishes and destroys evil. So, this power is spiritual means for the reformation and betterment of sin-sodden and suffering souls.
- There is no soul who has not become comparatively better and nobler after uniting with me, even if he has communed with me in the least degree provided he has surrendered his self-will.
- A branch which is grafted to a thorn apple (Dhatura) produces poisonous fruits and a branch which is grafted to a grape vine produces grapes. In the same way, a soul who associates with an evil soul produces poisonous and destructive fruits for others but a soul who associates with me obtains spiritual nourishment of divine life and produces pure and higher changes in others.
- Just as a branch of a poisonous plant can be known by its characteristics, so a soul united with me, like a branch grafted with a life-giving tree, can be known by life-giving characteristics of divinity which have manifested in me.
- I am a tree of divine life which produces blessed fruits. He who gets associated with me, like a branch is to a tree, not only avoids harm to himself and others but also produces blessed fruits in his own life and in the life of others.
- A cow on being hungry does not avoid taking grass in the jungle out of fear that some leaves of the grass maybe dusty. A man who is hungry does not avoid taking wheat loaves (chapaties) out of fear that there may be some particle of sand etc. in it. A soul who is hungry for life-giving blessings of divine life does not avoid communion with me out of some imaginary reason against me, for he who eats, lives and be who does not eat, dies.
- He who acknowledges the good tidings of my manifestation, surrenders his self-will, gives me hold on his life day by day, gives up his evil life and seeks unity with my sublime life (Dev Jiwan), like a branch does to a tree, belongs to me and my mission and he alone can benefit from my manifestation.
- Those who are ignorant of the life-giving and destructive conditions of soul-life or the laws of life and death of the soul and are not only slaves of evil life but are also partial to and in love with it, cannot realize the truths pertaining to the truth and importance of my manifestation, the truth of the need of uniting with me and the life-giving blessings of such union, unless they get rid of their evil life. Such souls in their present sorry state in many cases have hated and hurt me to an extent which no one else could.
- To the extent a soul gains intimacy with me through communion, to that extent he is absolutely different from every other person given to worldliness and evil, in his intrinsic worth and style of life.
- To the extent to which a soul, is different from the worldly and evil persons in intrinsic worth and style of life, to that extent the evil persons, finding him different and opposed to their way of life, will hate him and find pleasure in harming and hurting him.
- Blessed is the soul who feels closer to sublime life (Dev Jiwan) and different from the lovers of evil life to the degree they ill-treat him, for he thereby remains protected from their evil influences.
- The extent of the depth to which a soul unites with me, to that extent it becomes imperative for him to respect and love all those who are united with me and are under my influences. He feels he belongs to them and they belong to him. He who does not show this conduct does not belong to me.
- It is imperative for those who have offered their lives for my mission and vowed themselves to spread the good tidings of my manifestation, and unite souls with me for their betterment, to achieve complete freedom from their past moral distortions and impurities of the soul and give evidence, through all their conduct, that they give the highest place to me in their hearts next to God. After that they love all my missionaries and show no jealousy or vindictiveness towards them and do not squirm when they discover some one of their fellow missionaries are making better progress but rejoice in it. They do not harm the true glory of the mission or prove a hindrance in the discipline of the mission due to attachment to name, position, or comfort.
