As iron is assimilated into fire when cast into it, so can man assimilate the experience of saints by availing himself of their holy company. The saints share their experience, which they have achieved on the path to God, with the common masses through teir precepts. Therefore, people who come to their satsanga experience joy in their lives and learn how to lead a truly happy life. Satsanga alone can build a beautiful society. The foretunate devotees, who have experienced this can never live without sattsanga under any circumstances. Not only that, they also inspire them to satsanga so that they tooo may avail themselves of its magnificent benefits. They not only purify themselves but also sanctify others in this holy work.
‘Blessed are the parents (of one whose heart is filed with devotion to the Guru…)’.
Jaipur, 7 September: wherever a great seer, a Brahmajnani, is present the devotees get pulled towards that place. The sunrise is enough for the sunflower to blossom. Similarly, the utterances of great saints who possess the radiance of divine wisdom blossom the withered hearts of not a few, but many. Jaipur was blessed with the presence of Pujya Bapuji, without any prior planned arrangement, on the 7th September, Sandy. Thousands of local residents benefited listening to the powerful and brilliant satsanga of Brahmajnāna from Pujya Bapuji.
Delhi, 13 to 15th September: the three day satsanga programme coincided with the auspicious festivals of Aananta Chaturdashi, Praushtakpadi Pooornima and the first day of the shrāddha paksha. The vast expanse, the huge crowd of devotees and the sea of faith was spectacle in itself.
Food nourishes the human body, but what nourishes the hman body, but what nourishes human life? While putting light on this, Pujyua Bapuji said, “Satsanga is the food for human life. Through satsanga alone does one realize the significance of satsanga.
‘One attains one fruit (dharma) on bathing in a pilgrimage, four (dharma, artha, kama, moksha) on meeting a saint, and the fruit infinite (imperishable) when he attains the Satguru, thus says Kabir’.
The satsanga of Satguru blesses one with the fruit imperishable. The saint imparts to us the knowledge of our Self. By virtue of satsanga one rises above the dualities of pleasure and pain, virtue and vice, gain and loss. Satsanga prevents domestic strife and promotes mutual love and understanding in the family. It relieves one of the painful attraction of the senses and makes one farsighted.”
Explining the significance of paying obeisance to the forefathers through tarpanshraadh, Pujya Bapuji said – “Such a coincidence occurs after a long interval. All Grihasthas (householders) should definitely carry out the shrāddha for the gratification of their forefathers.” Pujya Bapuji described the three kinds of debts that are part of human life (1) Indebtedness to the forefathers, pitru rina (2) Indebtedness to the gods, deva rina and (3) Indebtedness to the Seers or rishis, rishi rina. Out of these the deva rina is fulfilled through jajpa and worship of the gods, pitru rina through service towards our parents and shrāaddha fo our departed elders and rishi rina through reciting, listening to and propagating the holy scriptures.
The devotees were satiated with divine bliss when Pujya Bapuji revealed that the Supreme is the essence of all the Vedas, Upanishads, Gita and doctrines of Srimad Bhagavatam, the realization of the Supreme truth – that which pervades every moment, every particle and every heart; that which the Gita reveals through the dictum of ‘vasudeva Sarvam’; that which the Srimad Bhagavatam alludes to through ‘sachidananda rupaaya’ and that which Manu Maharaj refers to as ‘Ishavasyamidam Sarvam’ – was revealed by Pujya Bapuji in the form of a simple and effective sādhanā by the means of worship of the Omnipresent ‘Om kar’. Fortunate were the Poonam Varatadhāris and lakhas of devotees who were present and also, kudos to the ‘Zee Jagran’ TV channel that provided the coverage, which benefited crores of devotees who could not come in person.
Surat Ashram (Guj.) from the afternoon of 15th Sept.: The selfless service of the samiti and sādhakas of Surat fructified when they were blesend with the satsanga and darshana of Pujya Bapuji twice in a single month. The mammoth gathering of people, who had come from all over Gujarat and neighboring states, over here was a slap in the face of slanderers and conspirators
In the course of sagsanga Pujya Bapujisaid, “those who have their own understanding, experience, culture, faith and wisdom, cannot be misled by anyone. The Hindus are compassionate, generous and tolerant, but not cowards, foolish or escapists.”
While explaining the glory of the Eternal Vedic Culture in Hissatsanga, Pujyashree said, “If one practices Upāsanā in accordance with vedic knowledge, then Lord Vasudeva who pervades all the universes and comes in various forms can manifest Himself in the house of a devotee as well. There is nothing to be surprised about! And the culture which teaches the art of revealing the Lord in every heart let alone in the house ofa devotee,is called Sanatana Sanskriti and such a dharma is called Sanatana Hindu dharma.”
Amdavad Ashram: Pujya Bapuji arrived at Amdavad ashram on 16th September. Pujyashree is a saint of the masses. Though being above all sense of doership or non-doeship, this year too Bapuji arranged for shrāddha, karma to awaken the society to Indian culture and establish the tenets of social discipline.
Apart from the public of Gujarat, thousands of devotees from different parts of the country had thronged the Amdavad ashram to avail themselves of Bapuji’s satsanga during His solitary stay over here. The number of people who come to imbibe the pious atmosphere of Bapuji’s ashrams and before whom the scandal-mongers stand exposed, is constantly on the rise. Bapuji’s ambrosial words which express His goodwill towards even those who have launched a defamation campaign against Him, fill the heart of the satsangis with supreme faith, reverence and love for Him. Hey experience the supreme joy of having attained a rare great soul endowed with the divine outlook that “Lord Vasudeva abides in all’-and their head bows in reverence to Him.
Pujya Bapuji said, “I have no ill-feeling for anybody, nor do I speak ill for anyone. I wish the good sense to all for I know that whether you call Him Allah, Bhagawan or God –the one Supreme Soul is present everywhere. It is this non-dual spirit of Advaita that will promote peace in the world, peace in the family and peace in the society. From the point of view of Tattvajnāna, the one Supreme soul abides in all. By virtue of this awareness, I experience great peace and happiness within. No matter how great the misleading propaganda launched against me be, I never lose my peace of mind.
Some people say, ‘Bajpuji is facing one trouble after another.’ But many a time I say openly that when worry and trouble approach me, they regret their mistake for coming to the wrong place! How great is the Guru’s knowledge! How wonderful is the knowledge of Vedanta! How Supreme is the knowledge of Vasudev-tattva! What I want to say is, you too should attain Self-knowledge which sanctifies even the pure and experience beatitude.
