== CONFUSION ABOUT UNIVERSE ==

Namaskar,
Some ignorant people believe that the universe is infinite. That is what they are propagating. Here is their message:

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity..." (sent on 4 June 2011 by one margii)

So this person is telling that the universe is infinite - that is an essential part of his message.

BABA'S DIVINE TEACHING

Now we should compare this with Baba's divine teaching.

Baba says, "According to some persons, this universe is infinite, but this is not true. As this universe also is a created manifestation of the Supreme Consciousness, due to the influence of the static principle of Prakrti it is bound to have a particular shape and form. And since it is under the static principle, it must be under bondage and limitations. Hence the universe is certainly finite, although it is very vast; it is not infinite or ananta." (Subhasita Samgraha-11, The Hub of Universal Activities)

It is quite clear then that Baba's divine guideline is that this universe is not infinite. It is distinctly finite.

So the margii writer is proclaiming one thing and Baba's divine teaching is something else. The margii is 100% opposite from our Sadguru Baba.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE?

NEVER COMPROMISE ON ADARSHA

When I read the margiis aforementioned quote, then I wondered whether I should keep quiet or not. Then I was reminded about Baba's teachings of Sixteen Points. We should not compromise or remain silent when someone is propagating anti-AM ideas to margiis. That is what Baba says in point #11 of Sixteen Points.

Thus, according to Baba's guideline I thought I should say something and not let this go unaddressed. Otherwise, new margiis will get confused and think that the universe is finite.

THE HARM DONE

Does this person not know that he is confusing innocent margiis. Does he not know that he is leading others astray with his "thought of the day".

Please excuse me but all I can think is that this person is thick-skinned. When he himself does not know and is ignorant, then why is he preaching about AM philosophy.

What he is doing is shameful and not at all befitting of an Ananda Margii.

BABA'S DIVINE TEACHING

Once again let us reflect on Baba's teaching.

Baba says, "This universe is a very small finite island." (AV-4)

Baba says, "Observe uncompromising strictness and faith regarding the sanctity of the Ádarsha (Ideology)." (Sixteen Points, pt #11)

Namaskar,
Ramanuj

Note1 : WHO IS SENDING SUCH MESSAGES

You probably know that the person propagating this anti AM message is SS Goenka. This new and tragic psychic ailment has overcome him in this late age. A similar thing happened with the late Shraddhananda, the former PP Dada. At the end of his days he was restless to propagate his own silly rhymes - Shraddha Shuman - thereby competing with Baba's divine creation of Prabhat Samgiita. If you want to know more about this then please write me.

Here the conclusion is that the universe is finite not infinite.

Note 2: BY THE WAY HERE IS ANOTHER MESSAGE

In the above quote posted by Goenka he claims that humans are very, very stupid - infinitely stupid. Yet Baba never addresses humanity in such a dark and derogatory manner. Instead Baba always speak in a very positive and uplifting way about human beings.

Baba says, "Unity and benevolent intellect lead human beings towards supreme fulfilment." (POD #37)

Baba says, "Humans have been blessed." (AV-30, Human Expressions and Human Movements)

Note 3: SILLY JOKES

If we ignore this situation then this person will write tomorrow that, "God does not exist, but money certainly exists, about the former I cannot say."

This type of silly thing we should not appreciate as it is going against the fundamentals of dharma.
