== SIMPLE STORY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND ==

Namaskar, There once was a master and he had many, many servants. With their master, they worked dutifully and loyally. One day the master went on a tour. The moment that all the servants found out that the master was gone, they sold all the mater's furniture and household items. Plus they killed and buried the master's son in the courtyard. Now we have to think why the same servants - who were quite loyal in the past - suddenly started selling those things and murdering his relations the moment they thought the master is gone. Why did they do that? The answer is simple: In the absence of the master, their true colours came forth. Those who are notorious will reveal their real form when they are not watched. That is the way it works The main problem then with those servants was their defective idea that: "The master is not here so we can do what we want".

SAME SCENE

In '90, on one particular day at one particular ashram it was propagated that "Master is no more". Those who critically believed that really Master is no more started expelling others, distorting Master's teachings, selling Master's land, and so many other nefarious activities. Unitedly they were doing this. Later on they even started killing each other. At that point one can say that: "The chickens came home to roost." Now let's examine how this all came to pass. In the early days after 1990 they are 100% united in their activities. Together these people wrote a declaration and announced that Baba (Master) has not only departed but He has greatly departed; i.e. Mahaprayan. They thought, "Now we are free. Nobody is watching us; nobody is going to punish us; we are free; so let's enjoy." That was the "momentous day" when Caryacarya was appended by a unanimous vote of all members of the Central Committee. They unitedly declared that Baba is no more. The meaning was: "Nobody is watching us: we are free." Since then, by their action you can see how their behaviour is the outcome of that very critical notion that "Baba has not just departed but He has made His great departure, i.e. Mahaprayan, and gone far far away where He cannot see us."

MIND-SET IS THE MAIN THING

Human beings are not just machines. Each and every action is related with a psychic feeling or impetus. If any dogmatic person sacrifices an animal in front of their favoured deity an inner inspiration or idea is needed to carry out that action. The hand alone is not responsible; mind is responsible. One's mind-set is the main thing. So the notion - i.e. Baba's great departure & He is no more - is a very horrible outlook that is causing all all sorts of disasters. Although it is a very simple equation, it is not easy to understand. Why? Because avidya maya has bound such persons and wants to keep them as her servants in the cycle of birth and death for ages and ages. Because of the noose of avidya maya, they cannot understand. Till this point of Mahaprayan (i.e. Baba is gone) is understood, one can forget about any and all peace and happiness in the Marga.

CONCLUSION

Neither Sarvatmananda nor Nigamananda nor Rudrananda would have sold the Baba Quarters in Patna or the Didi's Master Unit in Asansol in presence of Baba. After His "Great Departure" they sold those lands because they thought: "Baba is gone, i.e. Mahaprayan. He is no longer watching so we can do as we wish." That is their defective outlook and root cause of all their misdeeds. The story is simple but difficult to understand If anyone is really sincere and wants to address the root cause of all these heinous activities, then the problem will be solved. So long as they are superficially treating the matter they cannot and will not solve the problem. The root cause is "Baba is gone we are free; we can do whatever we like; He is not there watching." It is this defective outlook that needs to be addressed. Once again, the story is simple but difficult to understand. Namaskar, Arisudan

Note 1: NO RELIGION OR SPIRITUAL MOVEMENT CAN SURVIVE THIS

Nowadays in AMPS, such people have created the culture of talking about Baba in the past tense. No religion that talks about their god in the past survives. We should keep this in mind.
