== ABOUT PROUT LEADERSHIP ==
Namaskar,
These days most everyone is understanding the clear and simple fact that in
order to be an ideal Proutist one must be a spiritualist. That is one must
be an Ananda Margii. Still though, floating out there on the horizon there
might be one or two dogmatic type or so-called Prout leaders who get
confused and proclaim that any of the various pseudo-reformists from the
materialistic society are great Proutists. But such talk is only their
delirium and has nothing to do with Baba's divine teachings on Prout.
THE SADVIPRA IS THE PROUT LEADER
In His Prout system, Baba has declared that sadvipras are the leaders of
the society and that such sadvipras are to be developed in all the spheres
of life including the spiritual realm.
Baba says, "Sadvipra leadership is the ideal form of leadership. Such
leaders will be physically fit, mentally developed and spiritually
elevated. With their help and guidance, revolution will be materialized."
(PNS-21)
So to be a leader of the Proutistic society one must be a sadvipra and to
be a sadvipra one must be firmly established in our AM spiritual way of life.
And about this point Baba furthermore says here below that to be a sadvipra
one must be exemplary in all regards and represent the moral and spiritual
teachings of Ananda Marga in their every dealing and action.
Baba says, "Only those who by their nature adhere to the ten commands [of
yama & niyama] in their normal and spiritual conduct are the sadvipras." (I
& I)
And here again Baba guides us that those spiritually evolved sadvipras play
an essential role in the growth and development of a Proutistic social order.
Baba says, "Such a morally and spiritually equipped Sadvipra has to perform
fundamental and vital duty to society." (I & I)
Here is but one example how Baba expects sadvipras to oversee the
progression of the social cycle.
Baba says, "The bounden duty and dharma of a sadvipra shall be to protect
the honest and the exploited and bring under control the dishonest and the
rapacious exploiters." (AS, 5-2)
CONCLUSION
By all this it is quite evident that only those well-versed and practiced
in the teachings of Ananda Marga will qualify themselves as sadvipras and
that only sadvipras can be the true leaders of Prout. In that case where is
there scope for crude materially oriented social reformist to take on a
leader role in Prout. The answer is that it is not possible. Such
communist-minded persons, or leftists, or pseudo reformists can never carry
the flag of Prout and lead the humanity forward.
Baba says, "Those who want to bring about the revolution of the proletariat
only with the help of the working class, will come a cropper. The
proletariat-minded people do not understand their own problems, nor do they
have the courage to dream of their solution...That is why I say such people
do not bring about proletariat revolution-- they cannot. To depend on them
is not only undesirable but the height of foolishness." (Prout)
Here below Baba defines who is capable to establish the Proutistic society.
Baba says, "To bring about a real revolution is not at all easy. The
pioneers of revolution will have to be what I call sadvipras...Such
strictly disciplined, ideal sadvipras alone can be the missionaries of
revolution. They alone shall carry the message of revolution to every
corner of the earth-- right into every vein and venule of human existence.
The flying colors of the revolution, the banner of victory, shall remain in
their hands alone." (Prout)
Namaskar,
Motilal
Note: I kindly request others to also write their thoughts and ideas on
this important topic.
Note 2: Here below are more points which establish the fact that to be an
ideal Proutist one must be an ardent follower of Ananda Marga.
FIRST ONE HAS TO DO SADHANA
In His dharmic Prout discourse, 'Your Mission', Baba gives the step by step
guidelines for building up a Proutistic society. And Baba's initial
directive is to do sadhana.
Baba says, "Your first duty is to observe morality and to do intuitional
practices. Without this you cannot have mental determination." (Prout-18, p.1)
So to be an ideal Proutist and to establish Prout, sadhana is an
indispensable ingredient. Only when one has acquired the requisite strength
from ideating on Ista can one fight for dharma. Otherwise without that they
will get kicked by the exploiters and then immediately lose their patience
and mental balance. The key point being that without spiritual shakti, fake
leaders always cry and give up.
HYPOCRITICAL WAYS & CROCODILE TEARS
So without spirituality one is just one fake type of social leader or mock
Proutist. And such type of fakes will exploit just as much if not more than
the blood-sucking capitalists of today. Because devoid of spiritual values,
in their superficial dealing they will put on some false display of
Proutistic type of ideas just for the sake of grabbing the power and the
result will be hellish.
Baba explicitly warns us about the ways of such persons.
Baba says, "You will come across many such people that are not farmers or
laborers themselves but they shed a flood of crocodile tears for the woes
of farmers and laborers, carefully hiding their own mean intent. These
knaves who once used to drench their breasts with tears for the woes of
these people, forget them in a trice, the moment they get a good job or
attain some power in hand. It is then that their real colors reveal
themselves. " (SS-3)
So no margii should get befooled by such duplicitous persons.
Note 3: FURTHER REFLECTION
And like this there are numerous points already expressed on this topic
which point in the direction that one must be an Ananda Margii to be a true
Prout leader.

Eating Time
Baba says, "The bananas we eat when they ripen, such as ca'npa', marttama'n
and ka'nt'a'lii, are called ka'nca' kala' when they are unripe, and those
bananas that are cooked as a vegetable when they are green [plantains] are
called ka'nckala'). Rambha' means 'ripe banana'." (Varna Vijiana, Disc 10)
Baba says, "Roasted bel, or ripe banana peeled and fried in ghee, can be
taken as breakfast or a snack. These foods serve as both food and
medicine." (YT)
Note: One small variety of banana-- ca'npa' banana-- is very beneficial if
eaten in the morning hours. But if that same banana is eaten in the
afternoon or late hours, then it causes cough and cold etc. Obviously
eating that type of banana at those times is harmful to one's health. Most
other bananas are okay anytime. But in general its nature is cold so those
suffering from such diseases should refrain from eating them in the late
hours.
