== JINANIS' FOLLY ABOUT SUPREME COMMAND ==
Namaskar,
Baba makes a joke how if any jinani is proof-reading or editing someone
else's writing then they will cross out the word 'kindly' and write
'please'.
The point is that jinanis have a ridiculous tendency to always want to
make meaningless and minute changes to anything and everything just to
satisfy their own petty egos. Because such jinanis feel their intellect
surpasses all else-- even Guru. That is their silly & petty way.
And it is this defective psychology that has caused a few jinanis to
make a foolish attempt to rename the 'Supreme Command' to 'Supreme
Direction'. Of course, no sane and rational margii will approve of this
so it will never come to be. And verily, this type of ridiculous
proposal is nothing but a result of one or two jinanis' own diseased
mentality.
BABA HIMSELF HAS APPROVED THE TERM
We all know that what Guru says is mantra and not only did He approve of
the name, 'Supreme Command', He Himself uses the English term-- 'Supreme
Command'.
In the recorded version of the discourse-- 'Mantra O Mantrajapa-- given
in Morning General Darshan on 18 June '79 in Kolkata, Baba Himself says
'Supreme Command'. That itself is enough to know that He approves of
that very translation of Bengali 'Caram Nrdesh'.
What further proof is needed than that to understand that the Supreme
Command is the proper name, when Baba Himself speaks the English words,
'Supreme Command'.
SUPREME COMMAND IS THE ORIGINAL TERM
By this way, we can understand that not only is the Bengali name 'Carma
Nrdesh' an original term, but the English name 'Supreme Command' is also
an original term. Because everything in Ananda Marga comes from Baba.
What He says is Ananda Marga. That makes it original.
Thus when He Himself has spoken both 'Caram Nrdesh' and 'Supreme
Command' then we can infer that both are original terms. Because they
both come from Him.
WORLDLY DICTIONARIES NOT TO BE TRUSTED
Unfortunately some jinanis are infatuated with trying to re-translate
Caram Nrdesh using worldly dictionaries and in that way they came up
with the inane idea of 'Supreme Direction'.
But what such jinanis fail to realise is that there are countless
mistakes in such dictionaries which is why Baba Himself has created His
own series of books on language, grammar, linguistics, and etymology
etc. Indeed Baba has dedicated tens of thousands of pages in this
endeavour. This He has done to show that there is a need to reconsider
how worldly intellectuals have addressed the language issue and to show
that dictionaries are filled with mistranslations & misunderstandings etc.
Not to mention that often times there is no corresponding term in
English for various Sanskrit words like 'mantra', 'dharma', 'itihasa' etc.
Baba says, "There is no proper English word for the Sanskrit word
mantra." (AV-23)
Baba says, "There is no English term for itiha'sa." (AV-2)
Yet if anyone looks up these terms-- mantra or itihasa-- in Sanskrit or
Bengali dictionaries, then various English terms will be given-- but
none of these are approved by Baba.
And now such jinanis have made the same folly by taking one worldly
dictionary as the be-all and end-all in making their misguided
translation of Caram Nrdesh.
When already Baba has Himself given the proper translation by putting
forth the name 'Supreme Command'. Because this is the English phrase
which He Himself has used in one of His recorded general darshans of 18
June '79 in Kolkata.
FOOLISHNESS OF JINANIS
But some silly jinanis are not satisfied and instead want to impose
their own named term like 'Supreme Direction' etc. This is the height of
their own egoistic machinations.
No doubt these are the some type of jinanis who will one day say that we
should drop the name 'Ananda Marga' and instead call ourselves the 'Path
of Bliss'. Or they will create any other types of false theories
conjured up by their petty egos.
BABA'S WARNING: BEWARE OF JINANIS
It is for this reason that Baba strongly warns us about such tricky
jinanis. Wherever they go such jinanis create hell and confusion in the
society-- for no reason other than to show off their own intellectual
extravaganza.
Baba says, "Such hypocrites want to misguide the people by their tall
talks alone...'Loka Vya'moha Ka'raka.” That is, 'They create disease in
the minds of the people.' Their aim is not to solve society’s problems.
Rather, they are the chief cause for the downfall, retardation and sad
plight of human society. The present crisis in today’s civilization is
due to them. Their theories are based on the psychology and intellectual
extravaganza of the hypocrite. You will certainly encounter many such
theories in the social sphere, the economic sphere, and other spheres of
life. This is not the problem of a single country, but of the entire
intellectual world. Again I repeat that the crisis in civilization today
is due to the intellectual extravaganza of these hypocrites, these
polished satans." (PNS-6)
Thus jinanis are never happy nor ever satisfied unless they are puffing
up their own egos by putting forth their own false theories and
attaching their own name to such theories. And that is exactly what we
see happening with such jinanis who have made up the term-- Supreme
Direction.
Fortunately, most in AM understand the sheer folly of such jinanis and
that is why everyone continues to use Baba's original term, 'Supreme
Command'.
BABA'S BLESSING
When the Sadguru Baba Himself has spoken the English term Supreme
Command, then that is enough to know that it is 100% correct and
perfect. Unfortunately jinanis can never realise this simple truth.
Baba says, "Finally one must remember, 'Mantramu'lam' Gururva'kyam'."
(AV-6)
Namaskar,
Jawaharlal
NOTE 1: SHOULD THIS ALSO BE DONE
Perhaps such jinanis would like the names Abhidevananda and
Bhaskarananda to be permanently translated into Hebrew. That might be
their next proposal-- who knows, because the senseless theories of such
jinanis is endless.

Futility of Materialism
Baba says, "Materialism is the sign of shallow knowledge. Due to lack of
proper understanding and ignorance people become materialists. Human
beings should study more and acquire sufficient knowledge. Then they
will understand that in materialism there is nothing." (DMC 84 Delhi,
SS-16 (H))
