== AVIDYA' MA'YA' & MPD ==
Namaskar,
A day or two ago, "they" issued their invitation to so-called mahaprayan
divas (MPD). Few will attend since the large majority of A'nanda
Ma'rgiis understand well that "mahaprayan" is nothing but one dogma.
Parama Purus'a is with us always, sitting in our heart smiling and
showering His grace, so we may advance on the path and realise Him.
It is a total oddity then to insist on "celebrating" their so-called
mahaprayan program, which mandates that Baba is gone. Such a crude
program runs contrary to all devotional sentiment.
There is however one explanation for why "they" persist in this way:
such factional members are drowned in the dark force of a'varan'ii
shakti. That is why they are glued to their dogma of mahaprayan.
THE DARK FORCE OF A'VARAN'II SHAKTI
As many may know, a'varan'ii shakti is one of the blinding forces of
avidya' ma'ya'. Such a force covers or darkens the mind and does not
allow any light to enter. That is the chief explanation for why anyone
would organise a dogmatic mahaprayan program, year after year.
Because just see, in countless discourses Baba encourages us in so many
ways to see, feel, and realise how Parama Purus'a is with us each and
every moment, every step of the way.
Baba says, "This is His ota yoga. Each and every entity, animate or
inanimate, has a direct link with Him, and thus nobody can ever be alone
in the world." (AV-6)
Baba says, "The seat of Parama'tma' is in the hearts of those who are
established in devotion, who are devotees. When you are established in
devotion, you get Parama'tma' too. Then you will experience yourselves
that Parama'tma' is seated in your heart." (SS-19)
But the organisers of the dogmatic mahaprayan program never like to
think in this way - they do not like to listen to the words and
guidelines of Parama Purus'a.
Instead - dominated by their crude ego and geo-sentiment - they insist
on putting forth their dark message of mahaprayan that Baba is gone.
This is all the result of their being sunk in a'varan'ii shakti.
Baba says, "The psycho-physical [degrading] influence is called
a'varan'ii shakti. In Sanskrit, [a'varan'a] means “to cover”. That is,
one tries to cover one’s eyes so as not to see the Lord. One’s intention
is that one will not see the Lord, that is why one covers one’s eyes. It
is just like a rabbit that thinks that because it closed its eyes with
the help of its ears and is not able to see the hunter, the hunter will
not see it either. This is the effect of a'varan'ii shakti on the
jiiva’s mind." (SS-24)
MORE ABOUT THE WORKINGS OF AVIDYA' MA'YA'
We have to remember that avidya' ma'ya' has a distinct role - to capture
the mind and bring it under delusion. When this happens, then with the
help of a'varan'ii shakti, avidya' ma'ya' creates darkness all around.
The mind becomes polluted.
In that case, a person will see right as wrong, and wrong as right.
Because inside their mind it is pitch black. Not a speck of light is
there. So that person will not even like to consider the teachings of
Parama Purusa, one will not like to consider what Guru says.
Instead, in that pitiful condition their ego grabs the upper hand and
proudly proclaims, "I am great - I have founded mahaprayan - it is
celebrated in my land - and all should attend."
This is all the work of avidya maya. When someone behaves in this manner
we can say that cent-per-cent their mind is guided by a'varanii shakti.
There is not an ounce of light within.
Because when one blatantly disregards Guru Himself, then what more can
be said.
In day to day life, Baba has given us many teachings that may be
difficult to follow - even then as His disciples it is our duty to think
in that way. One may feel that sdahana is difficult or that it is not
easy to feel Parama Purusa all the 24hrs, but even then it is our chief
responsibility to try and ideate on Him and feel His presence each and
every moment. That is what Baba guides us to do. And this is for our
welfare and spiritual attainment. That is why He has given His teachings
of: madhuvidya, dhayna, kiirtan, guru puja, guru sakash, etc. Because we
are to keep Him in mind always - gaining the realisation the He resides
eternally in our heart.
Thus it is totally detrimental to disregard His guidelines and think
that Baba is gone, i.e. mahaprayan. He is eternally with us, but those
clouded by the darkness of avidya' ma'ya' do not care about what Guru says.
Just one is just involved in their own unit ego and geo-sentiment. In
that case the darkness of a'varan'ii shakti easily grabs the upper hand
and one will senselessly prance about singing the praises of the dogma
of mahaprayan - Baba is gone, Baba is gone, Baba is gone...
HOW RATIONAL PEOPLE THINK
Rational people - true A'nanda Ma'rgiis - will always think that, "Let
Baba's desire be fulfilled."
Baba Himself warns us again and again that He does not want anyone to
think that Parama Purusa remains far away - let alone think that Parama
Purusa is gone, as in the case of the dogmatic mahaprayan program.
He wants us to realise His divine closeness - all the time.
Thus whether one likes or not likes, whether one realises it or not, it
is our duty to follow His wish and totally ignore the crude calling and
feelings of avidya' ma'ya'.
Just as we should never act upon the idea of eating meat or drinking
wine - even if the desire should arise in the mind, similarly one should
never act on the crude ideate that Baba is gone by "celebrating" the
dogma of mahaprayan.
Indeed, every sadhaka thinks that Parama Purus'a is with us all the
24hrs, then how can one commemorate that He is gone.
Those who are in the fold of following the dogma or mahaprayan are most
unfortunate. They consciously ignore and subdue the inner feeling of
their heart. Parama Purusa is within, calling - "O' human being see how
Parama Purus'a is sitting within and smiling, why ideate and complain
that He is gone" - yet they are not interested in hearing His call.
Instead they are more concerned with their own egoistic feeling and
geo-sentiment.
We must have maximum pity for such persons who are not interested in
hearing the call of Parama Purusa' and instead wish to establish their
dogma of mahaprayan that unceremoniously proclaims that Baba is gone.
BABA'S BLESSING
By Baba's grace He has brought us close, onto His divine lap. So we
should always do those practices which support this ideal.
However when one does not pay heed to Guru and instead follows one's own
unit ego, then this is a classic case of falling into the depths of
avidya' ma'ya'. That is what has happened to the organisers of
mahaprayan, otherwise what can be the explanation.
We must remember that the sole reason of the existence of avidya' ma'ya'
and a'varan'ii shakti is to keep one in the dark, away from Parama Purus'a.
By His fathomless grace, Baba will open the eyes of those who organise
mahaprayan so they can see feel in their heart that Parama Purusa is
there, smiling.
Baba says, "The force that awakens the consciousness of one’s present
condition in a sa'dhaka – the awareness that I am the highest evolved
creature, a human being, and I have to cast away the darkness of the
obstructive force of a'varan'ii, I have to worship the nearest Entity by
conquering the distance or chasm created by the centrifugal force of
viks'epa – such an introversive sense of realization that wakes up in
the human mind is called samvit." (SS-3)
Namaskar,

How to Judge
Baba says, "We deduce conclusions just from whatever we observe in this
external phenomenal world. We should try to see the subtle cause behind
the crude phenomenal world, but we do not see it. For instance, a
particular person stole something, and when we say, 'Thief ! Thief!'
people will start beating him. If we try to inquire about the reasons
for the theft, we may come to know that he had been hungry for the last
three days. And how are we treating him ? We are beating him rather than
giving him food. So we should think and try to find the noumenal cause
behind the phenomenal world. If he was hungry and so stole, then we are
more responsible for that theft than he, because we failed to build up
society, so that he had to remain hungry. So we must see, and try to
find the noumenal cause behind the prima facie observable world. If we
are intelligent beings, possessing intellect, we must discover the
noumenal cause. It is not proper to arrive at conclusions from mere
observation of outward expressions.
"In some places today, a person's hand is cut off if he engages in
stealing. With a little thought it can be seen that this is not at all a
humanistic recourse to eliminate stealing. We must seek the noumenal
cause behind all actions." (AV-12, p. 155-56)
