Bodhayanti Parasparam Vol 6
inundation of cities and villages are all due to consumer culture to which we got habituated.
Work, earn and consume, seems to be the mantra which has cast a spell on the modern man. Why? Is it necessary? Does it provide joy and happiness? What impact his consumerist behavior will cause on the environment and future climate and future generations? What is the meaning and purpose of life? These questions are not put; man has abandoned reasoned thinking, the crowning jewel which God has bestowed on him.
The day has come when we say that man is behaving like an animal, it is insulting to the nature of animals which live in tune with their instincts. Man has surpassed the animal in its lower vibrations.
Master has written in one of the articles in Silence Speaks that he has a liking for poverty and he likes the idea of eating just salt and bread only. But if we want to live in His Consciousness we have to embrace all his ideas including ideas of “Necessities of life should be meager”, and also likeness for poverty.
For a modern man conditioned by consumerism it involves a painful giving up off all prejudices, habits and philosophies and all colorings and assume the plain and simple nature of mind itself which it originally was. If we remember and contemplate on the peace and silence of joy which our heart feels at the touch of Pranahuti and attach our mind to it, we finally understand that we are really divine. Gradually step by step through persistent practice we have to identify ourselves with Rev. Master and give up our identification with our name and physical form and our transient mental modifications and prejudices.
