'The Divine Call'
"Yuga'nterar tamasa' na'shite, a'lor jhalake esechile..." (PS 4718)
Purport:
Baba, in those dark days of old when the whole society was drowned in
dogma and everyone was suffering in pain and agony, then in that
desperate moment in a flash of lightening-- floating in the rhythm of
dance-- You Yourself came showering Your grace to wipe away the age-old
staticity.
Baba, before Your auspicious arrival, in that bleak era there was no
positive pulsation of life. Just there was sorrow and misery in every
direction. Everyone was feeling tense and depressed-- sunk in the
delusion of darkness. There was selfishness, in-fighting, and hatred all
around. The earth was hopeless. Nobody had the courage or inspiration to
shake the struggling humanity from its agonies. Nobody valiantly came
forward and declared, 'Arise, awake, the new dawn has come! Get rid of
all the dogma and follow the path of neo-humanism!' Nobody told like
this. The scene was totally grim. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, by Your
grace in one auspicious moment You Yourself came and told, 'Always keep
one great philosophy in mind: There is only movement if one is
progressing ahead towards towards divinity-- towards Supreme
fulfillment, toward the Cosmic Hub'. In that auspicious hour, this was
Your divine blessing.
Baba, by Your grace Your victory chariot is fast moving ahead with
its rattling sound, in the bhuloka, duloka, and triloka and in the
infinity. Baba, Your divine vibration is reaching each and every corner
of this vast cosmos. Without people's awareness the whole planet and the
entire universe is being transformed in all the realms: physical,
psychic, and spiritual. Baba, by Your grace You told everyone, 'In your
frustration do not sit and cry in the depths of hell. Arise, awake, and
follow the divine path. Human life is very valuable and you must not
forget that Your goal is Parama Purusa.' Baba, this divine & eternal
blessing You showered upon all.
Baba, by Your grace You came wiped away all the staticity by
showering Your divine effulgence...
Note 1: Here below this following discourse expresses the conclusive
idea of Baba's above Prabhat Samgiita.
Baba says, "O human beings, you are fortunate. The clarion call of the
Universal has reached you. Not only has the call come, but you are
hearing it and it is vibrating in every cell of your body. Will you now
lie in the corner of your house as an inert being and waste your time by
clinging to old skeletons and bemoaning them? The Supreme Being is
calling you in the roar of the ocean, in the thunder of the clouds, in
the speed of lightning, in the meteor's flaming fires. Nothing good will
come from idleness. Get up and awake the clouded chivalry of your
dormant youth. It may be that the path is not strewn with flowers and
that inferiority complex will be attempting to hold fast your each
advancing step, but even then you have to proceed onwards tearing the
shroud of darkness. You will tear the thick darkness of despair as you
advance in the racing chariot radiant with the Sun's brilliance towards
the attainment of the Supreme state." (SS-1)
Hence those same divine ideas which Baba has graciously revealed in His
various discourses are also present in Prabhat Samgiita. Those same
ideas which He has given in prose He has also given in His music and
poetry. The main difference then between His spoken discourses and
Prabhat Samgiita is that Prabhat Samgiita is quite concentrated. Those
teachings of Prabhat Samgiita are presented in quite a concentrated
form-- such as in half a line or less, whereas in His discourses that
same idea might be explained over the course of several pages or more.
That is why without proper translations and purports, Prabhat Samgiita
is mostly unintelligible.
== B GROUP'S PLOY IN POTENTIAL PP ELECTION: CHEAP PSYCHOLOGY ==
Namaskar,
The talk of the town among margiis from Bengal is that B group and EC
are joining together to select their own potential PP. In a few lines I
will tell who that PP is going to be, in case you haven't already heard.
Those in the know clearly understand the political ploy involved in the
selection. Once you hear who the person is & why he was selected, then
you too will understand.
Because beneath it all, this is just Sarvatmananda's latest attempt to
increase the support base of his B group enterprise. Beyond that, there
is no goodwill in his selection.
Let it also be known that as a rule, our Marga does not at all
appreciate the selection of thousands or even two or three PP Dadas.
That will only further disintegrate the fabric of our AM society.
So there are a multitude of issues involved.
WHO HAS BEEN SELECTED
There were lots of table-talk discussions about whom B group would select as
PP. Many were chanting the name of Sarveshvara'nanda. He was the early
favourite and unofficial PP for B group. But then Sarvatma'nanda said
that this would not achieve the desired effect. This would not attract a
wide array of people as he would not be palatable to non-Bengalis nor
would he attract family people.
Then Sarvatmananda explained who is the PP candidate that will best
befool the maximum number of people. After hearing the case, all agreed.
The person whom Sarvatmananda and Co. have chosen to be their separate
PP Dada is Family Acarya Kinshukji.
Of course we all know respected Kinshukji to be a person of dignity,
integrity and honesty. In individual life, he is quite fine.
So we have no gripe with Kinshukji per se as a human being.
But we can all see how Sarvatmananda's strategy is totally obvious and
easy to see through. He thinks that by selecting a family margii to be
PP then all the family margiis will join his camp / faction. It is as
simple as that. He is trying trying to lure family people into his group
through one common political ploy.
Politicians in the east and west regularly resort to such tactics in
order to draw votes. They select someone purely based on their caste,
community, gender etc. We will further explore this cheap psychology in
this letter.
B GROUP'S ONGOING ANTICS
Since 1990, B group has single-handedly authored and invented so many
ways of destroying margii rights. They ruined the BP and ACB systems,
distorted Baba's discourses, used expulsion as a weapon, pushed their
agenda of Bangalisation, infused the dogma of Mahaprayan, and so many
other scandalous activities.
And through it all Respected Kinshukji has kept quiet. That does not
mean that Kinshukji agrees or disagrees with what B group has done - all
it means is that he has remained silent. That is the fact.
If Ac Kinshukji was a fighter for margiis rights, then Sarvatmananda
would have passed him by.
But since Kinshukji is a respected family person who has a reserved
disposition, Sarvatmananda has made him the choice to be PP.
JUST A COMMON POLITICAL PLOY
But again, this is just a common political tactic to create supporters
based on cheap sentiment.
Political master-minds often choose candidates that will enhance their
voter base by selecting them exclusively on reasons of race, gender,
caste - irregardless of their readiness for the post.
But common people can recognise such cheap strategies and are often
offended and insulted that political carnivores think they can dupe them
in this way.
Perhaps the most famous recent example of this is was with the US
Presidential election. When the Republican party saw that Hillary
Clinton would be missing from the Democratic ticket, then the
Republicans selected a woman, Sarah Palin, as their vice-presidential
candidate. They thought that by this way all the women in the country
would support their ticket. But this cheap plan totally backfired and
they got walloped in the election. Women were infuriated and insulated
that the Republicans thought that they would lure them by choosing any
type of woman to be vice-president, no matter how ill-prepared she may
be for the job.
So you see this is just a common political ploy. And this has been used
in so many lands and regions.
Unfortunately, this is the latest type of trick that Sarvatmananda has
up his sleeve. But making a family person as PP will not cure B group of
all its inherent ills, and family people will not go flocking to their
petty camp.
Nor should any margii flock to H group regime. Our aim is to create a
unified AM society based on ideology, not any cheap, limited
socio-sentiment etc.
MAXIMUM RESPECT FOR KINSHUKJI
Here again let me reiterate that Family Acarya Kinshukji is a man of
great respect and ability. In individual life he is exemplary.
Just like how Baba has told again and again that in individual life
Mahatma Gandhi was also great. That has merit.
Let us again remember that there must not be thousands of PP. Having
more than one PP Dada does not go in the favour of our Marga.
But our next PP must be a person who will take charge and adamantly and
loudly ban all groupist activities. To date, this has not been respected
Kinshukji's approach.
That is why margiis are totally rejecting Sarvatmananda's plan and
margiis are insulted that Sarvatmananda thinks that they (margiis) are
so naive and stupid that he can pull the wool over their eyes with this
simple political ploy.
Just selecting a family person to be PP will not automatically bring all
family margiis into the B brigade.
This is the wake-up call that Sarvatmananda & Co. are going to get.
WHO SHOULD BE THE NEXT PP
Firstly, there should only be one PP in AM society. And that PP must be
a person who will eradicate all groupism and not be a silent and passive
witness as the late Shraddhananda was when he was PP.
Soon certainly our Marga will have such a PP.
In the meantime, no margii is going to be duped by Sarvatmananda's &
EC's beguiling approach to secure margiis on their side by selecting a
family man as PP. That just will not work.
Our choice for PP cannot stand on the toothpicks of class, race, gender,
or caste etc.
The choice for PP must be based purely on appropriateness for the post.
No other qualification or external characteristic is needed.
BABA'S BLESSING
By Baba's grace, our Marga family has the inherent vivek to no longer be
duped by Sarvatmananda's trickery. He has done hell in our Marga and he
is constantly devising ways that he can continue to rule AM through
tactical maneuvers. Now all recognise his attempts as being purely
political shenanigans.
Baba says, "O human beings, build the social structure considering the
needs of humanity. Do not try to do anything for your petty personal and
group interests, because whatever little you want to do with your
limited outlook cannot last. The cruel touch of time will annihilate
your aspirations into an oblivion that you cannot comprehend." (AMIWL-1,
'The Evolution of Society')

Relation between Breathing and Thinking Capacity
Baba says, "The process of breathing has a great influence on the human
mind and self, or soul. Suppose a person is running: his breathing
immediately becomes heavy. In that condition he cannot think properly;
the sensory organs such as the tongue, nose, etc., cannot function
properly, and as a result one's perception is impaired."
"Moreover, the process of breathing, depending upon whether the breath
is flowing through the right nostril or the left nostril or both
nostrils, influences people in various ways." (NSS, '95 ed., p.25)
