Bodhayanti Parasparam Vol 6
Thank you for the opportunity, Pranams
2, Dr. Madhava
My dear brothers and sisters,
My humble Pranams to all of you.
The topic of the seminar is very important from the practical point of view.
As Rev Babuji Himself had said teachings of Natural path are of the highest because it teaches the maintenance in view of one’s final goal. What is the final goal? Final goal is negation of self or individual self- dissolution or pralaya.
But when we observe life in us or amongst our brethren we notice that the psychic force works in favour of self-preservation and self-propagation. That is why man jealously and with full force at his command tries to preserve his self and all things associated with his self like wife, wealth, and children and secondarily his ideas about these things or any thing connected with self. That is why if any body criticizes us we feel upset and angry because we feel our self is under threat. This is the gross state of man’s mind and how he descended into such a gross state from a pure and subtle divine state has been beautifully described by Rev Master in His commentary on 4th commandment.
From this powerful psychic direction towards selfishness we have to achieve an about turn in the direction, i.e. deep within our heart we have to feel that Master and His consciousness is more valuable than our self. We should become prepared to sacrifice our selfish interest for a more meaningful and valuable goal. This is the beginning of love for Master which has the power to take us to the goal.
