Page 82 - Dawn of Reality an Exposition of REALITY AT DAWN of Sri Ramchandraji Maharaj

Liberation does not mean dissolution of body, life and thought (mind), but rendering them pure and pristine and making them moulds of Divine Light, spreading happiness everywhere. The immortal spirit is not to be isolated from human life but transfiguring and divinising every particle of the being making him perform his role in the Divine Lila is the Law of Nature and therefore, the Goal of Life. Anchored in the timeless and Eternal Foundation of our spiritual Existence, the liberated soul while possessing the identity of the individual body, life and mind, yet, he retains the individuality of spirit and Divinity; whatever he does, his constant orientation - as well as communion - with the Ultimate always remains unperturbed. Simplicity, Calmness and Plainness, then, become natural and part of the individuality. This is the essence of our living that gives a meaning and Cosmic relevance to human existence. It is such individual transformation that will re-establish Nature’s Harmony and world peace. Our goal will, therefore, have to be the highest, otherwise progress upto the final limit may not be endeavoured by oneself. Besides, the constant focus on the higher goal will act as a stimulus to accelerate the pace of our Sadhana.
The first sentence of the Prayer in our System is “O Master! Thou art the real goal of human life”. We are saying that human life culminates in God. Here the shift from the traditional and common thinking is clear. We are not talking of God who is far away from us but who is an integral part of human life. God has been alienated from our day-to-day life by all religions and any God oriented activity as a duty is considered as something additional to mundane functions. This is the cause underlying the present day morass of cultural, social and spiritual afflictions. We should know that the sphere of God is not something far away from us, but includes everything and all aspects and activities of our life are connected with Him alone. Not that the people have not understood God; it is very simple thing which has been forgotten. The Gita says that “In whatever form a man worships Him, he gets Him in that very Form”. But the common difficulty is that people do not worship Him in any form; but instead they worship only the form, whereby the Reality at the root disappears altogether. This is really the greatest blunder. Against this background, the approach of Babuji Maharaj is that the consciousness of God is something we should be aware all the time. We ought to know that which keeps us going all the time. Then, who is that God? The peace we have in our heart, the calmness that is within. Any thing we do against the Divine virtue and Godly norms upsets the peace and poise within us. The Divinity in us starts telling us something is wrong. That is what we call conscience. That is the “Voice of God” but generally we ignore His warnings. The “Asuric Pravrittis” lure us to do evil and un-natural things lulling us with several pretexts and illusive rationalisations with the present day “Vyavahara” alibis
