Subtle great benefits despite gross visiblt lossIf we succeed in awakening the subtle body up to a desirable stature it is possible to get coperation from special people. It is also possible to render the atmosphere wholesome in order to manifest and help succeed in many great tasks at one and the same time. Adi Shankaracharya, Saint Jnaneshwar, Swami Ramtirtha and Vivekanad despite being healthy, full of soul power and penance lived for around 30-40 years only. These are not ordinary incidences. Behind this is a mystery and special reason. They realized that those times demanded more action which was not possible within the realm of their gross bodies. Hence they thought of rendering active, their subtle bodies. Hence more work could be executed in a wider arena. The body with hands, feet, face etc can work only in a limited manner. A lot of effort goes in eating, resting, keeping oneself and surroundings clean, looking after near-dear ones and disciples etc. The energy that remains may be more than compared to that of laymen yet keeping in mind the requirements, it always proves less. In order to ward off this discontent they thought it apt to give up the gross body and instead give due importance to the subtle body. When the gross body is alive one can awaken and render active the subtle/causal bodies albeit in a limited manner. Who will accomplish what? This decision is dependent on their faculty of discrimination and contemporary situations. The 5 sheaths, 6 Chakras, subtle nerves, glands, Ida, Pingala, Sushumna, Kundalini, Sahasrar, Brahmarandhra and other divine centers are said to be the abode of demigods and an infinite storehouse of Divine Energies. The mind boggling activities of ESP or Extrasensory Potentials and its deep research in the field of Parapsychology and Metaphysics which are wondrously talked about have their roots in the subtle body. It is not possible for grossly embodied humans to carry out those tasks performed by ghosts, demigods etc that have an air/wind like subtle body. Within the 8 fold Sidhis one finds Divine Powers like Anima, Laghima etc. In this arena one can render ones body light, heavy, one can enter someone else’s body subtly and influence it etc. One finds trustworthy discussion of invisible helpers. These are all subtly embodied. When they attain a high stature they play the role of demigods. A soul lived with Socrates whom he called Daemon and he would carry out every important task with its help. In deep sleep and Turiya or super conscious state the subtle body is that much more active and it brings such information of future far off events which is beyond the ken of and ordinary intellect. It was Naradji’s subtle body that traveled in various Lokas or worlds. In a matter of jiffy he could visit Vishnuloka, Shivaloka, heaven and hell too. In the spiritual practice of Chaya Purusha or ‘shadow man’ the subtle body via spiritual effort is activated and converted into a powerful aide. Sidhi of Bhairav etc is nothing but merging into a powerful soul so as to get help when required. This is the area of subtle helpers/aides. Such souls based on requirement help special individuals for a certain goal. Amongst them those that are very high in stature immerse themselves in transforming obstructions of the subtle atmosphere into conduciveness, give divine inspirations and cooperate in great wholesome tasks. It is divine souls that are demigods which come in contact with laymen. From the principle standpoint fire, sun, Indra, Varun, space etc are called demigods. At certain places Almighty God is addressed as fire, Indra etc. Over here we are discussing subtlizing the psyche. My steps are following in this direction. For this it is required that the gross body be rendered loose. In order to gain mastery over scriptures Adi Shankaracharya who entered subtly the dead body of a King had made apt arrangements for his gross body to remain intact. It is not possible to keep both bodies active. If waking state augments deep sleep is not possible. If deep sleep augments waking state disappears. Although the subtle body is singular only yet there are many classes of it. The 5 sheaths are its classes. The Food Sheath, Mental Sheath, Vital Force Sheath, Intellectual Sheath and Bliss Sheath or the 5 subtle bodies belong to one body and are said to be 5 deities. These 5 at one and the same time from 5 different places can perform 5 types of tasks. Meaning one grossly embodied person under special circumstances can execute 5 times work with 5 subtle bodies. Along with this its stature can be kept very high. If we succeed in awakening the subtle body up to a desirable stature it is possible to get help from special people. It is also possible to render the atmosphere wholesome in order to manifest and help succeed many great tasks at one and the same time. The gross body has a definite shape and form and a specific place too. But the subtle body has no such limitations. Ghosts are subtly embodied. In visible-invisible form they can reside any where. The more I succeed in subtlizing the psyche I too can dwell at will in Himalaya, Shantikunj or any where else too. If this happens, those near dear ones and friends who yearn to see more world welfare activities taking place will not despair but will be more zestful to see higher attainments. Also those who wish closer physical contact from an emotional viewpoint will not be disheartened. My Gurudeva who dwells in the Himalayas is constantly guiding me. In my entire life I have visibly contacted him only 3 times and yet there was never a want from the subtle standpoint. If this special quality were lacking then those staying nearby in the neighborhood too would become a burden. Great souls like Gandhi and Lord Buddha could uplift thousands of people whereas those with weak soul force cannot even stop their family from imbibing taints. It makes no difference if one stays physically close or not. Do the lice in hair, bedbugs or mice in the house ever assist you in anything? Flies and mosquitoes stay very nearby but they inflict nothing but harassment. When 4 hooligans living in your vicinity pass by your house there is no joy on your face and instead they become a cause for worry. As against this a sandalwood tree growing at some distance from your house gives you cooling fragrance. People who work in alien lands despite being far physically love their families and regularly send money. In this external farness lies inner closeness. God is invisible yet he looks after all of us. We cannot see air yet via the nose it enters every pore of our being and helps us remain alive. Sun and moon dwelling far off give us light in our homes. I am writing all this especially for those who think that they will not get my physical loving contact. They must understand the importance of subtle and invisible. Body is visible and the vital force or Prana is subtle. Despite this we are in close contact with vital force and remain alive with its help. How can relationships break even if I go into seclusion and not converse with everyone? We are all bound to each other by a tough chain which is not fickle like a cotton string that breaks easily. Such friendships of fickleness exist between selfish people only. They are just there to satisfy their selfish greed. The friendship of Prajna family members is not weak which is alive only when visible and scatters to naught when not seen. Such fickle behavior is expected only from agents and middlemen. The relationship between my self and Gayatri Family members is based on ideals and sacred goals. As long as these exist none will think of whether I am near or far away from them. When the inner stature rises and potential augments more and more sensitivity will augment in give and take. The society will not get harmed and neither will near dear ones get harmed. In fact everyone will benefit in every way. We will have to face discomfort valiantly. In comparison to today more hardships will have to be faced and yet since what one will get in return will be great one should not complain while making efforts. After this most definitely Prajna Movement members and programs will get more energy. Generally lethargy and indolence prevail because one becomes more dependent on senior people. But when seniors are not near by responsibility in understanding augments. Of course it is a different story as far as those who lack understanding is concerned. One cannot get anything done by them even while living in their presence and showing strictness. Hence when one is not nearby one cannot expect them to do anything. And yet where there is good will and pious character all this lethargy etc will not be seen. After going to Haridwar from Mathura work in fact has augmented in Mathura. After every time I returned from the Himalayas there was not only no decrease of activities but more wholesome tasks had been conducted. Behind this mission is at work Divine Powers and as long as faith and good will exists in the soul of all members none should harbor illusion and ego that when certain people are not there the task gets hampered. When some fruits fall of the tree new ones manifest to regain its blooming nature. Along with death birth too exists in this world. Over and above this it is not as though I am dying. In my gross or subtle body up till Era Junction in 2000 AD my inner state will be conducive so that every person who trusts neo creation will experience that he/she is not alone. Behind them a powerful existence is at work. Inspiration does not give only light but required shadow too. I never complained as to how I can single handedly shoulder so many responsibilities. Via self faith and self contentment I have always got help from lay people. Further divine grace too has poured incessantly in these tasks. For this one need not grovel at anyone’s feet. The blessing of divine affection pours down unasked. He/she whose sentiments are high in stature will get every thing that aids true success. These lines have been written for capable aides and they are being incited to ‘buy’ divine glories by living a life of sacred ideals and values. Ornaments of gold and diamond cannot be given free of charge. In Prasad one gets Panchamrit and basil leaf only. No demigod/demigoddess has taken birth which fulfills our desires merely after we chant Mantras using a rosary and lighting incense sticks. Today everything is expensive. It is possible that times of less expensiveness manifest and that only by chanting “God, God…….” someone else’s belongings become ours for keeps. When we take loan from a bank they ask us why we need it and whether we will be able to repay it. There is no such bank with demigod/demigoddess wherein merely by offering leaves, flowers etc they will glorify us by giving us their Holy Darshan (vision). Just like this visible world in the spiritual world too one has to ‘pay’ for attaining something. The faster we understand this fact it is better for all of us. Till today whoever has attained something important from demigods or Sidhas/saints have done so via Yoga practices involving penance of soul purification and sensitivity based world welfare activities. While walking on this path I too have attained a few things. Even for others this is an open royal path. Never should one hastily look out for short cuts (and then repent at leisure). The more one stays away from people who awaken the Kundalini by placing their hands on your head, from people who ‘help’ you attain God’s Darshan by asking you to close your eyes, ‘cajoling’ demigods into giving you boons etc the better. Apart from bondage this gives you nothing else. It is best that we work hard and reap the fruits and benefits. Apart from this powerful group there is a class of small children who are weak. We naturally harbor compassion for them and help them. Children yearn that we seat them on our lap and give them sweets and toys. In return they cannot give us anything. Elderly people give attention to this class of children too and by giving them something or the other keep them happy. The same holds true for the physically and mentally challenged people. They gain some things yet they are in no state to give anything. One cannot ignore this class of people. If we ignore them we accrue the sin of hard heartedness. In my daily routine I have looked after this class too. I cannot remain alive if I give up compassion. Not just ‘selling’ but my task is to share too. I have made efforts that from my river no one leaves thirsty. At lunch time I share whatever dry bread I have with visitors. How can a patient be asked to leave the hospital without curing him/her? It is my habit to instill hope in those who despair and create a smile on the face of those who are weeping. My long life has passed thus. Of course only God knows how much everyone has benefited but I have honestly shouldered my responsibilities with compassion. In return I attained meritorious deeds which have slowly piled up to the size of a mountain. In a life of seclusion it is not as though this class will have to abstain from pouring out their heart’s grief. My body may be anywhere yet my soul will be that much more capable, active and powerful. The ears that hear and the eyes that see are becoming more subtle and all pervasive. Thus anyone can without coming to Haridwar open their hearts to me in their homes without personally meeting me, without writing letters etc and get their problems solved. In my program of subtlizing the psyche one subtle body has been kept for wiping others tears, speaking affectionately to others etc especially to those in grief. In order to give, something will remain with me. Never have I remained barren anytime. Till today I have always honored guests. Hence in future too this will continue.
