== NEWS ABOUT THIRD GRADE DISCIPLES ==
Namaskar,
One disturbing trend has taken hold in AMPS and now is the time to
uproot this problem as it has very serious and ugly consequences.
In short, some have registered AMPS in their own name in their own
locale or state etc.
This is happening within India and without. Some may be doing it with
the best of intentions and some with the worst - whatever may be, this
approach is unhealthy, divisive, and against Guru's wishes. This is not
dharmic.
No one should get involved in doing this - those who do will suffer the
consequences.
NOTHING BUT THIRD GRADE DISCIPLES
Baba has given so many teachings on unity, samgacchadhavm spirit, moving
together and one human society. That means we are to live collectively
in a sentient manner under one roof.
To snatch up and put AMPS in one's own name is totally off base. Such
persons are third grade disciples:
Baba says, "According to Tantra, disciples are of three categories. The
lowest category are likened to pitchers placed inversely in a tub of
water. Such pitchers contain water as long as they are kept in the tub,
but as soon as they are taken out, all the water pours out. These
disciples acquire spiritual knowledge when they are in close contact
with the preceptor, but as soon as they are apart from the preceptor
they forget all his teachings." (AMIWL-9, 'Tantra & Sadhana')
So such persons who registered AMPS in their own name are the lowest
grade of disciples. They totally forgot Guru's teachings. Such persons
create huge problems. They do harm that even non-margiis can't do.
Their horrific ways can be likened to domestic violence: To commit that
nasty act one must be part of the household or family. Outsiders cannot
do such harm.
Same is the case with these third grade disciples. They are inside AM
and from that stance they are snatching up AMPS and putting it in their
own name. Such is their hellish approach.
In the past certain crooked and misguided priests did such nonsense with
Lord Shiva's and Lord Krsna's teachings. And now today some in AM are
doing similar misdeeds with Baba's divine gifts. This is not to be
tolerated.
No one should enroll their name in such heinous activities.
MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT COLLECTIVE PROPERTY
In this below passage, Baba has graciously dedicated the ideals of AM to
humanity.
Baba says, "Today, you should remember that Ananda Marga is not limited
to a handful of honest and intellectual people. Rather, it is trying to
rally thousands of people under the banner of one sublime ideology. I
dedicate Ananda Marga in this DMC to all sections of society. Prior to
this DMC, I would only discuss intellectual topics, but from this DMC
onwards I have become a man of the people because I believe that dharma
is the property of the masses, not the exclusive monopoly of a handful
of so-called educated middle class elite. Dharma belongs to one and all.
From this DMC, I recognize it as the property of the common people." (AV-7)
The basic meaning is that, Ananda Marga is for all. No longer will Baba
just give lengthy, abstruse spiritual discourses in Subhasita Samgraha
but He will also give very understandable discourses in Ananda
Vacanamrtam. That is the spirit of Baba's above teaching.
Unfortunately some thought that He is making AMPS the collective
property of all.
Even then the idea of registering AMPS in one's own name makes an utter
mockery of the idea of collective property. Collective property does not
mean to grab something of public ownership and then register it in your
name and make it your own personal property.
For instance:
1. Public land does not mean the members of the public should snatch up
that land and register it in their own name.
2. A public servant who is doing work for the society on the whole
cannot be dragged into your own house to massage your feet. No citizen
can do like this.
3. The existence of a public library does not mean going there and
stealing books and keeping them in your own house forever.
Rather, if something is common to all, it means that everyone should
take the strict responsibility to guard the sanctity of that common
property and keep it as is, not let any single individual snatch it up
for their own personal gain or destroy it.
So those who think that because AM belongs to all then they can register
AMPS in their own name are totally misguided. They are committing
thievery if not sin.
A WARNING TO ALL THOSE INVOLVED
Those involved in registering AMPS in their own name should beware. In
the coming days, the names of all those involved will be made public and
such persons will be disgraced and forced to face their misdeeds in
front of all. Such persons will be publicly known as third grade
disciples due to their crude conduct and misguided action. They will
have no one to blame but themselves.
BABA'S BLESSING
By His grace He has given Ananda Marga for all and as responsible Ananda
Margiis we should safeguard His teachings of unity and collective spirit
and keep AMPS out of the hands of any who try to register it in their
own name.
Namaskar,
Girish
