TAKING CARE OF THE BODY

April 25,1953
Trichi                                              Hari: ॐ

This soul's body is not feeling well. I had come here on Wednesday for a check up from a doctor. Take enough care of the body. We may not worry about the body but it is our duty to take proper care the body. We cannot afford to be careless about it in any way. It is our most important tool. There is no way to put any price on human body. It needs to be taken care with love and at the same time need not be catered unnecessarily.

BE FOCUSED WITHIN YOU

We are within ourselves and at the same time in others also. So it is best if we stay within us first and with understanding move away from others subtly. What ever needs to be done is for our benefit.

COVER OF PRAKRUTI (NATURE)

God exists but why can't we see Him? Because He is obscured by the prakruti around us. He has become one with the prakruti. It is like the change in the characteristics of gold when used in very small quantity (for medicinal purposes). It is same with silver, mercury and poison. Even poison in very small quantities changes its characteristics and can be used as medicine. When divine consciousness enters anything it assumes the characteristics of the item that it enters in. If divine consciousness enters the tree, the characteristics of the tree becomes its characteristics. When divine consciousness enters us, it assumes the characteristics of prakruti as we are in prakruti.

If prakruti moves out, the divine consciousness reveals itself. It means the divine consciousness that is obscured (in the shape of prakruti with its characteristics) will express itself. So if the prakruti leaves, God expresses.

Divine consciousness assumed the characteristics of water in water, space in space, light in light, earth in earth. Since we are in prakruti, divine consciousness assumed characteristics of prakruti. If you want to experience divine consciousness, get free from prakruti. In old days following the yama (self control), niyam (keeping vows, restraints) and saiyam (control over senses) were mandatory. If you want to be free from prakruti, then you should follow all theses disciplines. But that is not possible for us to do in present circumstances. We do not have strength and energy for the purpose. So experienced (self realized) people showed the way of reciting and remembering God  continuously and permanently. When done in this way it produces strength and energy to follow all kinds of saiyams.

THERE IS NO SHORTCUT

There can be many ways to experience God (divine consciousness). But there are no shortcuts (making sudden progress and climbing and achieving the goal by using shortcuts) and by the grace of God I have such experience. I pray to all my connected swajans to read my writings and if they are in this spiritual path with heartfelt genuine intentions, sincerity and faith then they should put all their learnings and efforts in practical life. They are the ones who will get the benefit.
