== I DO NOT BELONG TO ANY GROUP ==
~ Part 4 ~
Namaskar,
Everyone knows that in AM we are to follow Baba. His way is our way--
not any groupist, double-groupist, or triple-groupist approach.
Unfortunately, one new syndrome has sprouted in AM where some are
claiming, 'I do not belong to any group', but in truth they are
double-groupists or even multi-groupists.
How?
A person says, 'I do not belong to any group', yet during AM programs
they read out Fake Ananda Vaniis from all the groups. Thus they are
double groupists because they are following the dogma of two different
groups.
Here is another example.
A person says, 'I do not belong to any group', yet they attend both the
dogmatic Mahaprayan program as well as the dogmatic Jamalpur tiirtha
program. Hence once again they are double groupists because they are
following the dogma of two different groups.
Of course, we should not follow the dogma of any group, but now what is
happening is that in the name of not being part of any group, some are
following the dogmas of all the groups.
In this latest schema then, a person can be a double, triple, or even
multi-groupist. That is the unfortunate way things are unfolding at
present in our Marga.
FALLING INTO TRAP OF INDIAN RELIGIOUS DOGMA
The same tragedy befell dogmatic religious worshipers in India. As more
and more deities came into being, simple worshipers began honoring all
the gods. In the beginning people were following Lord Shiva, just like
Ananda Margiis were meditating on Baba. But then as time went on, more
and more deities came into being and those worshipers of Lord Shiva
began incorporating all those dogmatic deities into their prayer system,
until there became an entire plethora of gods and goddesses: So many
idols, so many pujas, so many deities etc. This type of dogmatic
pluralism is the chief downfall of religion in India. And Baba strongly
condemns this faulty approach in His discourse, 'Omnkarnath & Ista Mantra'.
In a strikingly similar pattern, in the beginning Ananda Margiis were
only following Baba. There was no question of doing anything else. But
after 1990 groupism started and ever since more and more groups and
sub-groups are sprouting up-- just like mushrooms in a cow field. In
that event, some naive and some opportunistic people have begun
following the dogmatic ways of multiple groups. They attend a groupist
seminar here, participate in someone else's Mahaprayan program, read
another group's Fake Ananda Vanii, go to yet another rally, support one
group's puppet BP candidate, and so many things they are doing. They are
following all the groupist dogmas-- they are double or even
triple-groupists-- yet all the while proclaiming, 'I do not follow any
group'.
MUST BE STOPPED IN AM
This tragic phenomenon of double groupism and multi-groupism must be
completly eliminated from our Marga. Single groupism must also be
stopped. But this double and triple groupism is even worse as it
reinforces all the dogmas: Scriptural distortions, Fake Ananda Vaniis,
MPD, tiirthas, wrong seminar system, and so much other nonsense.
So when anyone says, 'I do not belong to any group', then we must watch
them carefully and see if in actuality they are really a double or
triple groupist. Unfortunately, this is the way things have been taking
shape lately.
BABA'S BLESSING
By Baba's grace, all groupism-- single, double, triple, and multi-- will
vanish from our Marga in the wake of following one pristine,
neo-humanistic ideology.
Baba says, "Universalism does not depend upon any relative factor, hence
it is free from the vices of ism. Ism thrives on the angle of group
interest...Those who are eager to establish peace should
shake off [groupism] and other allied isms." (PNS-4)
Namaskar,
Ramakrishna

Eternal Source of Energy
Baba says, "Because each and everybody in this universe gets energy
from Parama Purusa, He is the Supreme Source of energy."
"This earth and all the other planets and satellites of this solar
system get their energy from the sun. The sun is the source of their
energy. But He is the source of the sun's energy. And that's why He is
jvalantam."
"And that's why I have said that there won't be any thermal death of
this universe. Because He is jvalantam, He is present, and He will be
present forever. So there won't be any shortage of energy in this cosmic
system, though there may be a shortage of energy in some particular
portion of the earth or the cosmos." (AV-3, p. 26-27)
