A vast field of activities is before you. Enjoy them with Him. Love is the Answer We have come here to make love to Him, to be bathed in His Love and to vibrate His Love through the actions that come our way. Love is beyond. Love is not that thing a person thinks. Those who feel Something . . . a very excellent thing . . . that is called Divine Love. Love is a very sweet thing, very sweet. Husband and wife love. That is also love, but that love is only in one thing (mind). That is not ultimate Love. Understand? If I Love, all right, everything is you. Follow? Love is when you know only one thing, I Love you. Even if this person I do not like, I want to avoid, but yet I Love. Understand? That is called Supreme Male that is not possible to know. That is One Love. You love so many things. That’s all right, but if it’s only for sex you want love, after a certain time, you don’t know anything other than that kind of love and it is temporary. Another Love is Something. Whatever you like, you do, then it must be. That Love is all right . . . sweet. That Love is God. From when he (Dadaji) was young, in that time also he loves anybody. Each and everybody he loves the same, not only female, but also male. Try to love. Automatically you will feel something, not of the body. Understand? Even then, you cannot love Him. He only can love you and that as Himself. You can only feel His Love, passively of course. Truth reveals through Love. Love is the only answer to everything. Love is the Divine. The definition of a person is Love. Love is the only language He understands. Drowned in His Love, then all will become One. You will be carried away by Supreme Joy, as if by flood waters. The Love awakened in you to offer to Him in extreme earnestness does not come about with one’s own wish. It does not come to renunciates in spite of all practices, methods, rituals, meditations and efforts. Common people do not feel
this Love due to superstitions, blind illusions of mind, and deep attachments in their individual surroundings. If one thinks, I will make an effort to love God, then one cannot reach Him. Human love is based on self-interest. Mental love is worth nothing, for the mind is fickle. Today it is after one thing, tomorrow after another, but His Love is Infinite. Resort to Mahanam and become wide awake in the atmosphere of Love Divine to get rid of the fetters of fate, to develop intimacy with God and endure the alluring forces of the body, mind and material intellect. If your eyes are not befogged, you will see the gleam of His Love everywhere. Love is the essence of Truth. Submit to that resonant Love, be one with that Love and know yourself through it. You cannot know yourself but through the Love which is He. Life is Love. In His Love there is no distinction between man and woman. He is within all as the breath of life. You may call it Love or whatever you wish, it cannot be expressed in words. The moment you say, “I love my Supreme Husband”, the love instantly becomes trivial and frail like waves of the fickle mind. His Love is beyond body and mind, a unique inexplicable Love that keeps the heart full of Joy unknown to even the nearest person. If you shed one tear out of love for Him, that is more than enough. Try to love Him. Try to love the public. Try to love those near to you. And try to love yourself. As the love for Him gains ground, it be-comes so deeply rooted and secret. Amidst hard blows of life and narrowness of people, this Love remains unsullied, unlustful. This Love for Him is inseparable, irremovable. No external influence, human opposition or distance can remove it, and separation can’t destroy it. It is so strong; nothing can weaken its root. You will feel, year by year, in gradual steps, that He gives you extra life force, vitality in various manifestations. When a person loves from the heart, He thinks for that person. He worries, thinking always for their well being. So leave all your hopes and yearnings to Him. He will get your things done. Do keep His remembrance. You will see how He has smoothly designed your way. Flow with the stream of life without attempting to stem its tide. You are One with Him. You can miss this Supreme Relish only if ego is allowed to wallow in self-importance. Merge yourself into His all-engrossing Love. Always He is chanting inside of you. That is His Love. That’s why I tell you, Love is the only answer.
Life’s Purpose: Relish His Love & Enjoy We have come to enjoy His Play, remember Him with love and remain in a natural state. That is why He is pronouncing Mahanam constantly in our hearts. Be of good cheer and enjoy! It you fail to enjoy yourself here, how dare you expect it after death. Human birth is given, ultimately to get a fraction of the experience of immortal Bliss. But, being born with our form and mind, the mind runs in various directions with unbridled passions for love and hate, loss and gain, and sundry allurements, so there remains no scope for the taste of His Love. Human beings are born in a body with God, from His blissful World, to get real Bliss by tasting His Love in this changeable, mortal world. Superstitious human involvements (religious beliefs and rituals) and irresponsible attitudes toward God, in ignorance, do not allow us to come near to Him, or to feel His Love, for which we get the rare human birth. We ignore God in pursuit of worldly, deceitful pleasures, profits and attachments (of ego), which please now and depress the very next moment. In this way we waste the birth given to us. It is very difficult to give up such superstitions and egoistic approaches to living in the world. We forget God, the Truth. He is within, ever-wakeful. Realization of Truth is the object of life. It is attained only through Mahanam from within. One has nothing else to desire other than His Grace (to always remember God), which makes one’s life glorious and significant. Otherwise one is just born to die without purpose. Seek His Grace, do not worry, and remember the purpose of coming into this world. Your Destiny is Truth Destiny is Satyanarayan (Truth within). Do not worry. You may work out your plan, but His Plan may be otherwise, though only apparently for He manifests Himself not to destroy, not to checkmate, but to fulfill. Amidst universal flux, His Will alone is indeterminably active all the while. Gradually it will be realized by everyone how all events and circumstances, great and small, within and without, have been subtly planned and brought about by the Infinite Wisdom to work out imperfection and work in perfection, and to carry out the natural process of bringing about harmony with the Eternal Source of Life. Prarabdha (destined unfolding of life) must have its course. Everything is predestined. Your only duty is to bear destiny or fate with patience. What-ever He has destined for humanity, good or bad, is for a great cause. He is ever-merciful.
Prarabdha cannot be fleeced off without the emergence of Love. Resort to Mahanam and become wide awake in the atmosphere of Love to get rid of the fetters of fate.
Unless and until one’s Prarabdha is full, until one is merged with Him, one’s mind will have to come back, will have to again take a body in this world. Nobody knows how destiny works until the end of life. Try to live every day of your life in such a way, that in the end you have the consolation that you have successfully utilized all the days and years with the gifts of body, mind and life bestowed on you by God.
Human Birth: A Rare Gift This human birth is the rarest of all births. So try to live this life keeping Him in view. The hand that rocks your cradle is Love and is the Nativity of all existence. Being born with a human body in this world is itself destiny. One who has a taste for His Love wants to be born again and again with a body, because the taste of His Love cannot be possible other than in this human birth. Try to know your birth, why you have come here and what is your purpose. The Almighty never created us for suffering, bondage, or agony. Complete surrender to Him is the only way to get rid of ego and know one’s purpose, which is to enjoy this Play of the Divine. Then we understand what is birth. Life is Eternal The substance is One, and that alone is the Eternal Substance. There is no vanishing, no destruction of the Supreme Integral Existence. We are the Eternal Substance of that unfragmented Supreme Being. You say a person dies. Where does that person go? That’s it, there is only one place. Still when a person dies you think he or she has gone somewhere, but one does not go anywhere. It is under the influence of body consciousness that you think this way. For this reason, fear of death makes you feel as if a person goes somewhere on dying. The nature of death is a matter you do not understand. You need not seek after death. Try and understand the Origin. If you can reach and grasp the Root, then you will understand the branches. Life is the Play of the Divine and birth is its music. Death is a cessation, more precisely a condition or phase. He who has created us has done so for His necessity. Individuals have no existence and no power of their own because one’s exit from this mortal body is inescapable. There is something called death, as you people call it. But, it is He who leaves the body and He doesn’t go anywhere. His vibration stops in the body, but until the individual mind function is over, the mind remains dissatisfied. Unless and until this mind is fully satisfied, it will continue to come into this world. People who were together, come together again.
Reincarnation? What do you mean by that? When you give up the body, then and there the mind is caught by Him. After that, it is a question of time, maybe just now, maybe one day, maybe a few years, you come back in a different body. Human beings get crippled in life with so many ups and downs, shocks and jolts; still they do not care to remember Him. Right up to the time of death they carry the burden of hopes and desires, becoming victim to the miseries of repeated births, deaths and unavoidable destiny. In the vacuous region of the heart, which is the Infinite within, two sounds are constant. When these two sounds of Mahanam go off, the mind shrinks and the person is merged in pervasive Existence. When the two sounds stop, it is death. When the mind can resort to another body, it buds forth again. Life has no death, life is Eternal. What you call death is actually a phase and is concerned only with the body. Body consists of matter which dissolves in time to its original form, but Self has no dissolution. Try to understand death. Death is nothing but change or transformation of the body. Once you understand death, you realize what a mistake is made when funeral rites are performed. Various scriptural rules are followed and Brahmin or priest, ascertaining the family’s financial position advises accordingly. By chanting, praying or offering blessings for the dead, can you help them? It’s very difficult to get rid of such centuries- old, cherished traditions, which have infused all societies throughout the world. When God leaves the body He does not go anywhere. And a bunch of fools do funeral rites for His benefit. It is possible to do anything for His good through such services? Performing funeral rites is just a business for mercenary interest. Try to understand the matter. Who is to perform the funeral rites? For whom do you perform these rites? You are bound up by a disastrous superstition. One has no right to put a violent end to one’s own life. Live the normal term of life doing your work, without coveting the wealth of others, and enjoying Him. You have come for a few days, not forever. Why should you bother for anything? How many days we can or do live is not important. How we lived or live is important. Keep it in mind. We have come to another’s house. We must leave it someday. He will come and take you off. That which holds the body will return to It’s own Abode when It leaves the body. The reality of the mortal is merged in that continuous, Eternal Life Force, which never moves from or to any place.
Betrothed to God: You Relish His Love It is from the state of Divine Love that he, Dadaji, says, “Will you marry me?” You must understand. Can there be marriage with the body? Actually, marriage means being united with Him who resides in the body. There are differences between men and women at the bodily level, but is there any difference with Him? Marriage is union with Him. Worldly marriage is to live out the destined attachment together. Is there any male in this world? He (Dadaji) only sees females. Prakriti (physical Nature; mind/desires) itself is feminine. So how can anyone in her realm be a male? There is only one Male, Purusha (Supreme Male), and He is the Lord unconditioned by Nature. So marriage really means the conjoining of people in this world of Nature with the Lord within. That is Love. Have you understood? Can a body make love to another body? When the Lord within throws off the body, it is hurried to a crematorium. Marry me, won’t you? Do you realize the import of marriage? To receive Mahanam (at birth) is to be locked in bridal union with your Nearest and Dearest. Wedded to Him, you reach a Divine Orgasm united with your True Nature. His secret footprints, His secret Fragrance, His secret music follow in your heart everywhere you go. God is the sound of your heartbeat making love to you 24 hours a day. Surrender Yourself in Full Faith Try to keep faith in Him, who is the Source, the Energy, the Life. Those who depend on God with full faith, none can make them small or harm them. Go ahead with this firm faith. Love Him, surrender yourself to Him and the moment you surrender your entire existence to Him, He will be the pilot of your life and will take the vehicle to a safe landing. You must be naked before Him. The surrender must be perfect and complete. The heart must be purified of all desire. Self-realization is not possible in its fullest and truest sense through any other means except perfect and absolute self-surrender. The individual ego is the root cause of all trouble and the greatest obstacle. Ego must be overcome by complete surrender to Him.
Complete surrender to the Supreme Being leads to emancipation, realization and salvation. Mahanam Brings Peace Nothing to worry about, as He creates dangers, so He also lays the path of peace. Leave everything to Him and there will be peace. The love of humanity and desire to serve all, will bring blissful peace to your heart. Whatever you have received in life, take that as His Blessing or Grace, and the road to peace is opened. Value everything in the context of peace and the Bliss will come automatically. You will then inhale the Divine Grace and you will hear the music of your heart, Mahanam. His Grace is Mahanam His Nature is all-merciful and all-graceful. Grace and Mercy constitute the real Form. On even once becoming eager to surrender to Him, you will see the power of His Grace. He is already showering His Grace. How are we able to receive it? Indeed, by holding onto Him with resolve, you experience the manifestation of His Grace. The unfolding inner development of one’s mind does not result from austere meditation or rituals. It is a spontaneous change of the mind’s unsteadiness into repose in the deep recess of the heart, where His Eternal Existence vibrates within us. A person cannot achieve this by any effort. This comes about through a natural flow of life. In this experience of natural internal showering of His Grace, first comes an upsurge of feeling and words to express. Then comes earnestness of mind. But, gradually the mind gets into a weighty silence. The need to express in words ceases, and there remains then only deep silent communication with Him that is inexplicable. This means being immersed in the unique taste of His joyful state, in the Fragrance of His Love. Divine Grace descends upon you only if your mind is bereft of ego and your heart void of desires. Mind has to be turned inward. Then inside and outside become One, and you will be awake. By His Grace you do everything and then also do nothing. One has nothing to desire other than His Grace, which makes a person’s life glorious and significant. As you have now met Him directly and received His Grace, you have nothing to worry about. He is within you to guide you to the right path. Leave it to Him.
Realization Unfolds Naturally His Mind moves the creation and a time comes when a person’s mind automatically becomes Zero, freed. How? He comes and through Mahanam and His Presence, the mind automatically starts loving qualities. The mind, when attuned to Him is His consort. If Reality is One, no segmentation and stratification is possible. In fact, He is realizing Himself through you, me and everybody. We are to witness ourselves being Void (Zero) in order that He manifests His fullness within us. If there is mind, there are senses. Without them, how can there be realization? Mind has to turn inward, then inside and outside will become One. Then you will be awake. No act can ever lead to the Zero experience. Truth cannot be realized by your own efforts. God is available to you here and now, anywhere and everywhere. By remembering Him, you realize Him. One realizes Him by simple and straight-forward means. There is no need for mental or physical wrestling. Otherwise such wrestlers would have achieved Him. Why do you want to realize God? Don’t go for understanding. Don’t go through argument, I tell you don’t try to argue. If you argue, you won’t be able to realize Him your whole life long. You have received Mahanam at the time of birth, by Maya (Creative Power in Nature) you have forgotten. Again now you have received Mahanam, that is enough. A person’s life passes through stages of childhood, youth, adulthood and finally old age; so one becomes wise because of experiences in relation to the external world. Similarly, there are stages of unfolding of different inner developments which, according to the time factor, help a person get into the Divine Lap of His all-merciful Existence. This unfolding of the inner development of one’s mind does not result from austere meditation or rituals. It is a spontaneous change-over of the mind’s unsteadiness into repose in the deep recess of the heart, where His Eternal Existence vibrates within us. A person cannot achieve this by any effort. This comes about through a natural flow of life. Realization depends on a particular condition of consciousness that cannot be expressed by language in any way. Any attempt to express that feeling loses reality. Words are nothing but outer manifestation. When one gets the Real Thing, that person becomes One with Him. You know, it is just like when the heart is full. There is no other way. That is the domain of the wave of quietness, even feeling is absent there. That is why many confuse Void and Fullness. This is a matter of realization, not the object of understanding.
Those who have received Mahanam will be delivered even in this birth. Those who have slipped off (forgotten God) will suffer an enormously intensified Prarabdha (destined unfolding process of life). You will find them raising alarms, however they will be delivered. Whom do you intend to deliver and with what? Whom shall you deliver with what, save yourself? Why speak of deliverance? We shall enjoy here as much as there. If we cannot enjoy here, how can we enjoy there? No deliverance is possible except through Mahanam. His is delivering Himself, to be sure. All people of those places and streets where Dadaji has gone are delivered. Whoever has seen him (then or now) are delivered. If you want salvation, make a promise that you must not wait for another life. You should get it even before the next breath. Because one must not wait for or believe in the next breath, or the next life, as one does not know what will happen next. It is possible to be in tune with Him for two, three, or four minutes only. Otherwise you could not do anything (were the rapturous state to go on indefinitely). Realization is a fake word. So long as He is within, no need of anything. Just remember that you are with me, and if you remember Him and do your work, that is enough. Liberation comes automatically. Since we are part and parcel of Him, there is no doubt that God-realization is within action and desire. The state of Samadhi (perfect union with God) you try to achieve is a mental condition at a low level. When you find Him, you will realize there is no distinct existence to be felt. Neither He nor you will be there. He neither comes nor goes. There is then no intelligence, no understanding. Liberation is nothing other than the awareness of one’s True Nature. Liberation you will not get other than with Him. Mind cannot be liberated without Him. Follow me or not? Don’t bother for Him, He is within you. All the 24 hours He keeps doing Mahanam, whether you can hear it or not. Without knowing it, we are receiving that very Name from the air through breathing. Still, getting to know this produces an extreme Joy, and not knowing this we do not experience this Bliss, this much can be said. Still, He keeps and will keep on doing His Work, not a single person is denied. If even one creature remains unliberated, He will remain bound. When He has sent the creatures here, then their liberation is also His responsibility. Why all this talk of liberation? For Him, what is bondage or liberation? Who will bind whom, who will liberate whom? This is all the egoism of the mind and intellect. He is nothing, and again, He is everything. Realization has already come to you, just you see, by only remembering Him once, you will see that age after age, life goes on with one experience. That indeed is Truth. It has no decay, no destruction. By cultivating the habit of patience and by remembering Mahanam with love, we move toward God-realization. Worshipped & Worshipper are One Puja (ceremonial and ritual worship) has no meaning. Who will worship whom? The worshipper and the worshipped are the same, One. Who worships whom? Can an individual perform worship? How can a person do it? Worship is performed only where the subject and object become One. At the time of true worship, the body lies forsaken. What we generally find in ritualistic worship services is merely child’s play. To be in tune with God, Satyanarayan is called worship. This is possible only when one can leave the physical body and mind of the mundane plane to taste the Bliss of the Infinite. Then only, is communion a reality. Since it is impossible for a mortal body to transcend the ego, worship in the true sense of the term is never performed. The Self worships the Self. That indeed is the worship of the Inner Being. Believing that someone else will worship for our sake, or tell us how to worship, or lead us in worship-ping, all for monetary offerings, what kind of talk is that? With us around, someone else will love our Beloved? What manner of conduct is that? All these practices of worship are for worldly display of ego and for business purposes. Even internal worship is a fine division. One worships, one is worshipped. It is only love that does not divide, but rather reveals the Union. He cannot be worshipped; He is won by love alone. Utsav: Illumination of Truth The only purpose and only goal of Utsav is to rejoice in internal communion in His Presence. Ut means giving up, and Sava means body. The significance of Utsav is to elevate a person’s ego to Truth. Utsav happens anytime, anywhere a person remembers Him with love. Truth manifests Itself. Utsav is everywhere and for all time. If you can see things properly, your entire life is Utsav and your duty is your Deity. Is worship or Utsav done by showing anything to anyone? Your Dada sits (at Utsav) with everyone; whatever happens (at Utsav when a person sits alone in a locked room), that I also don’t know, but what takes place is such a direct experience of Him, it cannot be explained to others who have not had that experience.
Note: From 1970 to 1991, Utsav was held for three days each October in Calcutta. People from all over the world gathered in a rented hall in the presence of Dadaji to experience that humanity is One, religion is One, Truth is One. Dadaji greeted people personally and spoke casually with them. Occasionally there was singing of devotional songs, including Dadaji’s song, “Ramaiva Sharanam”. No discourses or lectures were given, but Dadaji asked various people to, “Speak some-thing”, and they told about their experiences. Each day, Dada asked a man or woman to sit alone in a locked room before a Satyanarayan portrait and, with eyes closed, recall Mahanam. Accounts of those who did so, relate astonishing inner experiences of God. And, fragrant Nectar appeared on the portrait, fragrant water was sprinkled on the floor, and sealed bottled water became fragrant. “Such manifestations,” said Dadaji, “are sure marks of Utsav.” Outside the hall, in marked contrast to the simple, casual Utsav gathering, conventional Durga Puja celebrations (worshipping Kali, Goddess of Destruction) included blaring loudspeakers, deafening drums, milling crowds parading in the finest clothes they could afford, and local competitions for the best idols. Dadaji said such traditional religious festivals remain mere farce and entertainment. Whereas, he said, Utsav elevates a person’s mind from the ego state to being purely merged in Mahanam. Over the years, Utsav was held simultaneously at various other locations throughout the world including: London, England; Los Angeles, California and Portland, Oregon in USA; Brussels, Belgium; and in numerous cities in India. Without exception, various phenomena occurred during Utsav gatherings held in private homes with family and friends. Pure water turned fragrant, fragrant Nectar appeared on Satyanarayan portraits, food placed in front of the portrait appeared partially eaten, and occasionally Dada appeared, although physically in Calcutta, India. Humanity is One There is only one human race. Division, segmentation, classification are mental fictions. Look! All humanity is one caste. We have broken up this one caste through the means of communities and sects, and have created differences. On top of that we have Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, and so many others. How many hundreds of differences without end in humanity? All this is human creation. Know these differences to be one great falsehood. Only for serving self-interest have these differences been created. Above all is the fearsome creation of the difference of the rich and the poor, through sheer greed. Know that these differences alone are responsible for all the turmoil in the midst of humanity. Dadaji has no distinction between Hindus, Muslims, Christians, anyone. To Him there is only one caste called humanity. And, there is no difference between a man and a woman. Humanity is One. All hearts are united with His Heart. All existences merge into His Existence. All divergent forms take One universal form. All creation becomes One. Humanity is then One, the Heart is One, it’s language is One. It is, in fact, One. It rejoices in Its own Self. Nothing but Bliss remains. Let the Future Feature Him The future is unknown, unseen, unachieved, and not in the hands of people. So they always worry and die in uncertainty. We are powerless to know what is in store for us every moment. It is better to put all confidence in Him who is all-merciful. There’s no use being concerned about the future. Future, that is nothing. You do not know all that. Try to do your daily work and duties. Future, that is nothing that is only Him. Do not worry about the future. Be content with the past. Future is best always when it is unknown. Yes, a person’s destiny is already planned by Him and cannot be changed. Don’t look back. Look ahead with Him, expecting nothing. Only don’t shut out His manifestation. Let the future feature Him who has taken full charge of you. He is Full and cannot accept anything but Full. But, human beings cannot live up to it. Why not offer also your frailty to Him? Looking out of His face is a superb experience. Golden Age of Truth Satya, Treta, Dvapara, and Kali Yugas*, how many Ages come and go? Can you grasp it? It sounds like a magical illusion, but those who know can see all. In this Kali Yuga, the only way to channel the stream of our individual existence into the vast ocean of the cosmic Consciousness is to remember Mahanam while doing one’s duties. (* Yuga means Age, a cycle varying from 3,000 to 5,000 years. The four Ages and the corresponding cardinal virtues are: Satya (Truth; remember God), Treta (Perfection; self-sacrifice), Dvapara (Service; adoration through work), and Kali (Destruction; singing praise). Kali is the worst of times with violent destruction, breakdown of structures and abundance of ego. Dadaji said the Age of Truth set in toward the end of 1980, at the culmination of the Kali Age, and will progressively manifest after 1990.) Excellent is the Kali Yuga! The reward which one obtains in Satya Yuga by meditation (remembering God), in Treta Yuga by sacrifice (of self), in Dvapara Yuga by service (adoration through work), one receives in Kali merely by Mahanam. It is human conscience which will dawn at the culmination of this Kali Yuga. Humanity is in the last of the Kali Age that is correct. It is the worst of times and yet the best of times. Science is Kali’s last chapter. Time is running out, great destruction stands before us. That is why he (Dadaji) revealed before 1972. A basic question is: Why does Dadaji come at all? If the Guru is within as two sounds of Mahanam, if we are full to the brim with Him, if we have nothing to get, if all people are equal, and, if all manifestation through the body and mind is limitation, why does Dadaji come at all? He comes to suffer very really and to integrate all suffering of humanity and Nature, thus sanctifying it. He comes to pay off a debt to Nature. His body is material and finite, yet it is Infinite and Immaterial. Wherever Dadaji goes, his touch, vision, and Fragrance deliver whatever he contacts. Foundational Nature is thus delivered. Remember Name. This is the only path. In Dadaji appears the total Power of all Ages: Satya (Truth), Treta (Perfection), Dvapara (Service) and Kali (Destruction) together. Can you understand this? Everyday innumerable events take place, but has anybody attained anything? People come only to see the physical world, nobody wants the Real Substance. Note that very bad days are coming, no more time is left. In Mahanam alone is liberation. Satyanarayan is the solution to mind’s problems of this Age. There is no other way. This is Truth. One day the whole world will accept this view of Dadaji. Dadaji on Dadaji & His Own Your Dadaji, Amiya Roy Chowdhury, says do not try to test the Supreme Being. Do not try to understand Him with the help of your mind or intellect. Ever follow the Truth, then and then only, are you in communion with Him. I am a family man with a wife, two children, and grandchildren. I have a toy shop in Calcutta. From the time of my boyhood, I love Him, because I know that other than Him, I am nobody. God is Govinda, He is everything. I am full of Him. I am not a Guru, I am an elder brother. Dadaji is no individual. Where all limitation evaporates, the Truth Absolute is manifested in the form of Dadaji for the redemption of humanity, which is wallowing in the quagmire of finitude and want. There is a Dadaji in you and in all beings, omnipresent, at the root of the vibration of life. Dadaji is the complete repudiation of ego. He is no person, no body. Here your Dadaji is nobody. Try to follow that Truth. Each and everybody is He, so I can’t be separated from anybody. I exist as long as you exist, I am your existence. I shall always be with you. You are always with me. There is no distance between you and me. I am in you, you are in me, we cannot be separated.
I am with you always, whether you like it or not. I have come here to indulge in the Play of Love to the womenfolk (humanity). I can kill the mind. I will beat you! (That means, will give blows in life.) I will kill you! What is killing? Nothing but shedding off egoism. Most people think he works directly, but actually, he works indirectly. He strips one of all vestures. Those people who befriend Him in their suffering will surely go to the Infinite. Dadaji has been thrust here with all provisions. The program was to reduce to submission so-called holy people, priests, gurus, renunciates and intellectuals. There was no plan of mass contact. Listen, Dada has no anger against anybody. He is only concerned that these gurus and priests are offering a wrong thing to our honest, innocent people. And, why make a business deal while speaking about God?
I never go to places to give lectures. I go to particular houses where people come. I tell you, whenever I will feel that I am doing, then and there, He is far. Do you understand? He (Dadaji) cannot go for that. Man has not come here (to this world); he is that God who is doing that Mahanam that is the only Truth. You can love me as brother. Please do not take me for your Guru. That is my request. God is in all of us, He is in you also. You have to search Him out and you can discover God, your Self. God is everywhere. History has never recorded such an Advent, and it never will again. What Dadaji says is absolutely flawless. None has any power to find fault with His words. Nothing can stop His Work. I am not bothered for anything, because I am . . . I am. Dadaji’s Love is very sacred, secret and silent. Even the next person cannot know it, nor has one the right to know it. This Love is so deep, opposite to the worldly love which is “out of sight, out of mind”. His Love is perpetual and no barrier or distance can hinder it. Dadaji’s Love grows and grows for those who love Him. He gives indications of His Love. He is steady, unchangeable and has no expectations. He who is beyond all bondage and mind, keeps his eyes on his own persons. He guides them from within and without. So go ahead fearlessly in all activities of your life. The worldly life which a person leads is covered by pretensions, hypocrisy and illusory, undependable nature. This cover of falsehood, devoid of love, has become truth to a person’s nature. A few fortunates try their utmost to come out of this cover of mind and the Guru Almighty comes to hold them, to elevate them to the genuine natural state of Love, Affection and Bliss where He exists as the Husband, Father, Son, Friend and at the same time, Dadaji. This contact happens at the destined time to those who are destined as His own.
In the beginning you will have confusions and conflicts within yourself. Then your relatives, friends and others from all direct-ions will try to get you floating in worldly pleasures. Being slave to the ups and downs of life, they are gripped by their mind’s pleasures one moment, the next moment they wail and cry in despair with life’s sorrows. They judge others by physical form and can-not see the inner Self beyond. You have to be among st them to taste the variedness of life. Otherwise, like renunciates and ascetics, you will become an escapist, running away from the natural stages of life, scared of men and women around you. Your integrity lies in keeping control and balance, and practicing tolerance and forgiveness. This will prove that even though you live amongst these people who are slaves of mind, you are different from them. This control and balance does not come through practices or rituals, it comes by His Sharan (remembrance of Him). His Touch. Consciousness of His being within becomes firm, helping you face worldly jolts, life’s ups and downs. You and all who have met Dadaji have found a natural love in the worldly atmosphere and have been opened fully for receiving immortal Bliss. Those who are my own are always with me. Whatever happens to them, happens for their good. Maybe sometime their load of sufferings is very heavy. Know it to be certain, that is His Grace. I will never betray you. I will never forget you in my life. You are my own and will stay with me. I want you, you must stay with me. I love you from the beginning. He loves you. From my heart, He loves you. Ultimately, you will be with me. What you think, I think also. Do you under-stand? You are naked before me. Your Self is my Self. You are my heart. That is Absolute. So long as you are, I am with you. You are . . . you are. I love you all. Life. You are my life. I will love you forever.
this Love due to superstitions, blind illusions of mind, and deep attachments in their individual surroundings. If one thinks, I will make an effort to love God, then one cannot reach Him. Human love is based on self-interest. Mental love is worth nothing, for the mind is fickle. Today it is after one thing, tomorrow after another, but His Love is Infinite. Resort to Mahanam and become wide awake in the atmosphere of Love Divine to get rid of the fetters of fate, to develop intimacy with God and endure the alluring forces of the body, mind and material intellect. If your eyes are not befogged, you will see the gleam of His Love everywhere. Love is the essence of Truth. Submit to that resonant Love, be one with that Love and know yourself through it. You cannot know yourself but through the Love which is He. Life is Love. In His Love there is no distinction between man and woman. He is within all as the breath of life. You may call it Love or whatever you wish, it cannot be expressed in words. The moment you say, “I love my Supreme Husband”, the love instantly becomes trivial and frail like waves of the fickle mind. His Love is beyond body and mind, a unique inexplicable Love that keeps the heart full of Joy unknown to even the nearest person. If you shed one tear out of love for Him, that is more than enough. Try to love Him. Try to love the public. Try to love those near to you. And try to love yourself. As the love for Him gains ground, it be-comes so deeply rooted and secret. Amidst hard blows of life and narrowness of people, this Love remains unsullied, unlustful. This Love for Him is inseparable, irremovable. No external influence, human opposition or distance can remove it, and separation can’t destroy it. It is so strong; nothing can weaken its root. You will feel, year by year, in gradual steps, that He gives you extra life force, vitality in various manifestations. When a person loves from the heart, He thinks for that person. He worries, thinking always for their well being. So leave all your hopes and yearnings to Him. He will get your things done. Do keep His remembrance. You will see how He has smoothly designed your way. Flow with the stream of life without attempting to stem its tide. You are One with Him. You can miss this Supreme Relish only if ego is allowed to wallow in self-importance. Merge yourself into His all-engrossing Love. Always He is chanting inside of you. That is His Love. That’s why I tell you, Love is the only answer.
Life’s Purpose: Relish His Love & Enjoy We have come to enjoy His Play, remember Him with love and remain in a natural state. That is why He is pronouncing Mahanam constantly in our hearts. Be of good cheer and enjoy! It you fail to enjoy yourself here, how dare you expect it after death. Human birth is given, ultimately to get a fraction of the experience of immortal Bliss. But, being born with our form and mind, the mind runs in various directions with unbridled passions for love and hate, loss and gain, and sundry allurements, so there remains no scope for the taste of His Love. Human beings are born in a body with God, from His blissful World, to get real Bliss by tasting His Love in this changeable, mortal world. Superstitious human involvements (religious beliefs and rituals) and irresponsible attitudes toward God, in ignorance, do not allow us to come near to Him, or to feel His Love, for which we get the rare human birth. We ignore God in pursuit of worldly, deceitful pleasures, profits and attachments (of ego), which please now and depress the very next moment. In this way we waste the birth given to us. It is very difficult to give up such superstitions and egoistic approaches to living in the world. We forget God, the Truth. He is within, ever-wakeful. Realization of Truth is the object of life. It is attained only through Mahanam from within. One has nothing else to desire other than His Grace (to always remember God), which makes one’s life glorious and significant. Otherwise one is just born to die without purpose. Seek His Grace, do not worry, and remember the purpose of coming into this world. Your Destiny is Truth Destiny is Satyanarayan (Truth within). Do not worry. You may work out your plan, but His Plan may be otherwise, though only apparently for He manifests Himself not to destroy, not to checkmate, but to fulfill. Amidst universal flux, His Will alone is indeterminably active all the while. Gradually it will be realized by everyone how all events and circumstances, great and small, within and without, have been subtly planned and brought about by the Infinite Wisdom to work out imperfection and work in perfection, and to carry out the natural process of bringing about harmony with the Eternal Source of Life. Prarabdha (destined unfolding of life) must have its course. Everything is predestined. Your only duty is to bear destiny or fate with patience. What-ever He has destined for humanity, good or bad, is for a great cause. He is ever-merciful.
Prarabdha cannot be fleeced off without the emergence of Love. Resort to Mahanam and become wide awake in the atmosphere of Love to get rid of the fetters of fate.
Unless and until one’s Prarabdha is full, until one is merged with Him, one’s mind will have to come back, will have to again take a body in this world. Nobody knows how destiny works until the end of life. Try to live every day of your life in such a way, that in the end you have the consolation that you have successfully utilized all the days and years with the gifts of body, mind and life bestowed on you by God.
Human Birth: A Rare Gift This human birth is the rarest of all births. So try to live this life keeping Him in view. The hand that rocks your cradle is Love and is the Nativity of all existence. Being born with a human body in this world is itself destiny. One who has a taste for His Love wants to be born again and again with a body, because the taste of His Love cannot be possible other than in this human birth. Try to know your birth, why you have come here and what is your purpose. The Almighty never created us for suffering, bondage, or agony. Complete surrender to Him is the only way to get rid of ego and know one’s purpose, which is to enjoy this Play of the Divine. Then we understand what is birth. Life is Eternal The substance is One, and that alone is the Eternal Substance. There is no vanishing, no destruction of the Supreme Integral Existence. We are the Eternal Substance of that unfragmented Supreme Being. You say a person dies. Where does that person go? That’s it, there is only one place. Still when a person dies you think he or she has gone somewhere, but one does not go anywhere. It is under the influence of body consciousness that you think this way. For this reason, fear of death makes you feel as if a person goes somewhere on dying. The nature of death is a matter you do not understand. You need not seek after death. Try and understand the Origin. If you can reach and grasp the Root, then you will understand the branches. Life is the Play of the Divine and birth is its music. Death is a cessation, more precisely a condition or phase. He who has created us has done so for His necessity. Individuals have no existence and no power of their own because one’s exit from this mortal body is inescapable. There is something called death, as you people call it. But, it is He who leaves the body and He doesn’t go anywhere. His vibration stops in the body, but until the individual mind function is over, the mind remains dissatisfied. Unless and until this mind is fully satisfied, it will continue to come into this world. People who were together, come together again.
Reincarnation? What do you mean by that? When you give up the body, then and there the mind is caught by Him. After that, it is a question of time, maybe just now, maybe one day, maybe a few years, you come back in a different body. Human beings get crippled in life with so many ups and downs, shocks and jolts; still they do not care to remember Him. Right up to the time of death they carry the burden of hopes and desires, becoming victim to the miseries of repeated births, deaths and unavoidable destiny. In the vacuous region of the heart, which is the Infinite within, two sounds are constant. When these two sounds of Mahanam go off, the mind shrinks and the person is merged in pervasive Existence. When the two sounds stop, it is death. When the mind can resort to another body, it buds forth again. Life has no death, life is Eternal. What you call death is actually a phase and is concerned only with the body. Body consists of matter which dissolves in time to its original form, but Self has no dissolution. Try to understand death. Death is nothing but change or transformation of the body. Once you understand death, you realize what a mistake is made when funeral rites are performed. Various scriptural rules are followed and Brahmin or priest, ascertaining the family’s financial position advises accordingly. By chanting, praying or offering blessings for the dead, can you help them? It’s very difficult to get rid of such centuries- old, cherished traditions, which have infused all societies throughout the world. When God leaves the body He does not go anywhere. And a bunch of fools do funeral rites for His benefit. It is possible to do anything for His good through such services? Performing funeral rites is just a business for mercenary interest. Try to understand the matter. Who is to perform the funeral rites? For whom do you perform these rites? You are bound up by a disastrous superstition. One has no right to put a violent end to one’s own life. Live the normal term of life doing your work, without coveting the wealth of others, and enjoying Him. You have come for a few days, not forever. Why should you bother for anything? How many days we can or do live is not important. How we lived or live is important. Keep it in mind. We have come to another’s house. We must leave it someday. He will come and take you off. That which holds the body will return to It’s own Abode when It leaves the body. The reality of the mortal is merged in that continuous, Eternal Life Force, which never moves from or to any place.
Betrothed to God: You Relish His Love It is from the state of Divine Love that he, Dadaji, says, “Will you marry me?” You must understand. Can there be marriage with the body? Actually, marriage means being united with Him who resides in the body. There are differences between men and women at the bodily level, but is there any difference with Him? Marriage is union with Him. Worldly marriage is to live out the destined attachment together. Is there any male in this world? He (Dadaji) only sees females. Prakriti (physical Nature; mind/desires) itself is feminine. So how can anyone in her realm be a male? There is only one Male, Purusha (Supreme Male), and He is the Lord unconditioned by Nature. So marriage really means the conjoining of people in this world of Nature with the Lord within. That is Love. Have you understood? Can a body make love to another body? When the Lord within throws off the body, it is hurried to a crematorium. Marry me, won’t you? Do you realize the import of marriage? To receive Mahanam (at birth) is to be locked in bridal union with your Nearest and Dearest. Wedded to Him, you reach a Divine Orgasm united with your True Nature. His secret footprints, His secret Fragrance, His secret music follow in your heart everywhere you go. God is the sound of your heartbeat making love to you 24 hours a day. Surrender Yourself in Full Faith Try to keep faith in Him, who is the Source, the Energy, the Life. Those who depend on God with full faith, none can make them small or harm them. Go ahead with this firm faith. Love Him, surrender yourself to Him and the moment you surrender your entire existence to Him, He will be the pilot of your life and will take the vehicle to a safe landing. You must be naked before Him. The surrender must be perfect and complete. The heart must be purified of all desire. Self-realization is not possible in its fullest and truest sense through any other means except perfect and absolute self-surrender. The individual ego is the root cause of all trouble and the greatest obstacle. Ego must be overcome by complete surrender to Him.
Complete surrender to the Supreme Being leads to emancipation, realization and salvation. Mahanam Brings Peace Nothing to worry about, as He creates dangers, so He also lays the path of peace. Leave everything to Him and there will be peace. The love of humanity and desire to serve all, will bring blissful peace to your heart. Whatever you have received in life, take that as His Blessing or Grace, and the road to peace is opened. Value everything in the context of peace and the Bliss will come automatically. You will then inhale the Divine Grace and you will hear the music of your heart, Mahanam. His Grace is Mahanam His Nature is all-merciful and all-graceful. Grace and Mercy constitute the real Form. On even once becoming eager to surrender to Him, you will see the power of His Grace. He is already showering His Grace. How are we able to receive it? Indeed, by holding onto Him with resolve, you experience the manifestation of His Grace. The unfolding inner development of one’s mind does not result from austere meditation or rituals. It is a spontaneous change of the mind’s unsteadiness into repose in the deep recess of the heart, where His Eternal Existence vibrates within us. A person cannot achieve this by any effort. This comes about through a natural flow of life. In this experience of natural internal showering of His Grace, first comes an upsurge of feeling and words to express. Then comes earnestness of mind. But, gradually the mind gets into a weighty silence. The need to express in words ceases, and there remains then only deep silent communication with Him that is inexplicable. This means being immersed in the unique taste of His joyful state, in the Fragrance of His Love. Divine Grace descends upon you only if your mind is bereft of ego and your heart void of desires. Mind has to be turned inward. Then inside and outside become One, and you will be awake. By His Grace you do everything and then also do nothing. One has nothing to desire other than His Grace, which makes a person’s life glorious and significant. As you have now met Him directly and received His Grace, you have nothing to worry about. He is within you to guide you to the right path. Leave it to Him.
Realization Unfolds Naturally His Mind moves the creation and a time comes when a person’s mind automatically becomes Zero, freed. How? He comes and through Mahanam and His Presence, the mind automatically starts loving qualities. The mind, when attuned to Him is His consort. If Reality is One, no segmentation and stratification is possible. In fact, He is realizing Himself through you, me and everybody. We are to witness ourselves being Void (Zero) in order that He manifests His fullness within us. If there is mind, there are senses. Without them, how can there be realization? Mind has to turn inward, then inside and outside will become One. Then you will be awake. No act can ever lead to the Zero experience. Truth cannot be realized by your own efforts. God is available to you here and now, anywhere and everywhere. By remembering Him, you realize Him. One realizes Him by simple and straight-forward means. There is no need for mental or physical wrestling. Otherwise such wrestlers would have achieved Him. Why do you want to realize God? Don’t go for understanding. Don’t go through argument, I tell you don’t try to argue. If you argue, you won’t be able to realize Him your whole life long. You have received Mahanam at the time of birth, by Maya (Creative Power in Nature) you have forgotten. Again now you have received Mahanam, that is enough. A person’s life passes through stages of childhood, youth, adulthood and finally old age; so one becomes wise because of experiences in relation to the external world. Similarly, there are stages of unfolding of different inner developments which, according to the time factor, help a person get into the Divine Lap of His all-merciful Existence. This unfolding of the inner development of one’s mind does not result from austere meditation or rituals. It is a spontaneous change-over of the mind’s unsteadiness into repose in the deep recess of the heart, where His Eternal Existence vibrates within us. A person cannot achieve this by any effort. This comes about through a natural flow of life. Realization depends on a particular condition of consciousness that cannot be expressed by language in any way. Any attempt to express that feeling loses reality. Words are nothing but outer manifestation. When one gets the Real Thing, that person becomes One with Him. You know, it is just like when the heart is full. There is no other way. That is the domain of the wave of quietness, even feeling is absent there. That is why many confuse Void and Fullness. This is a matter of realization, not the object of understanding.
Those who have received Mahanam will be delivered even in this birth. Those who have slipped off (forgotten God) will suffer an enormously intensified Prarabdha (destined unfolding process of life). You will find them raising alarms, however they will be delivered. Whom do you intend to deliver and with what? Whom shall you deliver with what, save yourself? Why speak of deliverance? We shall enjoy here as much as there. If we cannot enjoy here, how can we enjoy there? No deliverance is possible except through Mahanam. His is delivering Himself, to be sure. All people of those places and streets where Dadaji has gone are delivered. Whoever has seen him (then or now) are delivered. If you want salvation, make a promise that you must not wait for another life. You should get it even before the next breath. Because one must not wait for or believe in the next breath, or the next life, as one does not know what will happen next. It is possible to be in tune with Him for two, three, or four minutes only. Otherwise you could not do anything (were the rapturous state to go on indefinitely). Realization is a fake word. So long as He is within, no need of anything. Just remember that you are with me, and if you remember Him and do your work, that is enough. Liberation comes automatically. Since we are part and parcel of Him, there is no doubt that God-realization is within action and desire. The state of Samadhi (perfect union with God) you try to achieve is a mental condition at a low level. When you find Him, you will realize there is no distinct existence to be felt. Neither He nor you will be there. He neither comes nor goes. There is then no intelligence, no understanding. Liberation is nothing other than the awareness of one’s True Nature. Liberation you will not get other than with Him. Mind cannot be liberated without Him. Follow me or not? Don’t bother for Him, He is within you. All the 24 hours He keeps doing Mahanam, whether you can hear it or not. Without knowing it, we are receiving that very Name from the air through breathing. Still, getting to know this produces an extreme Joy, and not knowing this we do not experience this Bliss, this much can be said. Still, He keeps and will keep on doing His Work, not a single person is denied. If even one creature remains unliberated, He will remain bound. When He has sent the creatures here, then their liberation is also His responsibility. Why all this talk of liberation? For Him, what is bondage or liberation? Who will bind whom, who will liberate whom? This is all the egoism of the mind and intellect. He is nothing, and again, He is everything. Realization has already come to you, just you see, by only remembering Him once, you will see that age after age, life goes on with one experience. That indeed is Truth. It has no decay, no destruction. By cultivating the habit of patience and by remembering Mahanam with love, we move toward God-realization. Worshipped & Worshipper are One Puja (ceremonial and ritual worship) has no meaning. Who will worship whom? The worshipper and the worshipped are the same, One. Who worships whom? Can an individual perform worship? How can a person do it? Worship is performed only where the subject and object become One. At the time of true worship, the body lies forsaken. What we generally find in ritualistic worship services is merely child’s play. To be in tune with God, Satyanarayan is called worship. This is possible only when one can leave the physical body and mind of the mundane plane to taste the Bliss of the Infinite. Then only, is communion a reality. Since it is impossible for a mortal body to transcend the ego, worship in the true sense of the term is never performed. The Self worships the Self. That indeed is the worship of the Inner Being. Believing that someone else will worship for our sake, or tell us how to worship, or lead us in worship-ping, all for monetary offerings, what kind of talk is that? With us around, someone else will love our Beloved? What manner of conduct is that? All these practices of worship are for worldly display of ego and for business purposes. Even internal worship is a fine division. One worships, one is worshipped. It is only love that does not divide, but rather reveals the Union. He cannot be worshipped; He is won by love alone. Utsav: Illumination of Truth The only purpose and only goal of Utsav is to rejoice in internal communion in His Presence. Ut means giving up, and Sava means body. The significance of Utsav is to elevate a person’s ego to Truth. Utsav happens anytime, anywhere a person remembers Him with love. Truth manifests Itself. Utsav is everywhere and for all time. If you can see things properly, your entire life is Utsav and your duty is your Deity. Is worship or Utsav done by showing anything to anyone? Your Dada sits (at Utsav) with everyone; whatever happens (at Utsav when a person sits alone in a locked room), that I also don’t know, but what takes place is such a direct experience of Him, it cannot be explained to others who have not had that experience.
Note: From 1970 to 1991, Utsav was held for three days each October in Calcutta. People from all over the world gathered in a rented hall in the presence of Dadaji to experience that humanity is One, religion is One, Truth is One. Dadaji greeted people personally and spoke casually with them. Occasionally there was singing of devotional songs, including Dadaji’s song, “Ramaiva Sharanam”. No discourses or lectures were given, but Dadaji asked various people to, “Speak some-thing”, and they told about their experiences. Each day, Dada asked a man or woman to sit alone in a locked room before a Satyanarayan portrait and, with eyes closed, recall Mahanam. Accounts of those who did so, relate astonishing inner experiences of God. And, fragrant Nectar appeared on the portrait, fragrant water was sprinkled on the floor, and sealed bottled water became fragrant. “Such manifestations,” said Dadaji, “are sure marks of Utsav.” Outside the hall, in marked contrast to the simple, casual Utsav gathering, conventional Durga Puja celebrations (worshipping Kali, Goddess of Destruction) included blaring loudspeakers, deafening drums, milling crowds parading in the finest clothes they could afford, and local competitions for the best idols. Dadaji said such traditional religious festivals remain mere farce and entertainment. Whereas, he said, Utsav elevates a person’s mind from the ego state to being purely merged in Mahanam. Over the years, Utsav was held simultaneously at various other locations throughout the world including: London, England; Los Angeles, California and Portland, Oregon in USA; Brussels, Belgium; and in numerous cities in India. Without exception, various phenomena occurred during Utsav gatherings held in private homes with family and friends. Pure water turned fragrant, fragrant Nectar appeared on Satyanarayan portraits, food placed in front of the portrait appeared partially eaten, and occasionally Dada appeared, although physically in Calcutta, India. Humanity is One There is only one human race. Division, segmentation, classification are mental fictions. Look! All humanity is one caste. We have broken up this one caste through the means of communities and sects, and have created differences. On top of that we have Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, and so many others. How many hundreds of differences without end in humanity? All this is human creation. Know these differences to be one great falsehood. Only for serving self-interest have these differences been created. Above all is the fearsome creation of the difference of the rich and the poor, through sheer greed. Know that these differences alone are responsible for all the turmoil in the midst of humanity. Dadaji has no distinction between Hindus, Muslims, Christians, anyone. To Him there is only one caste called humanity. And, there is no difference between a man and a woman. Humanity is One. All hearts are united with His Heart. All existences merge into His Existence. All divergent forms take One universal form. All creation becomes One. Humanity is then One, the Heart is One, it’s language is One. It is, in fact, One. It rejoices in Its own Self. Nothing but Bliss remains. Let the Future Feature Him The future is unknown, unseen, unachieved, and not in the hands of people. So they always worry and die in uncertainty. We are powerless to know what is in store for us every moment. It is better to put all confidence in Him who is all-merciful. There’s no use being concerned about the future. Future, that is nothing. You do not know all that. Try to do your daily work and duties. Future, that is nothing that is only Him. Do not worry about the future. Be content with the past. Future is best always when it is unknown. Yes, a person’s destiny is already planned by Him and cannot be changed. Don’t look back. Look ahead with Him, expecting nothing. Only don’t shut out His manifestation. Let the future feature Him who has taken full charge of you. He is Full and cannot accept anything but Full. But, human beings cannot live up to it. Why not offer also your frailty to Him? Looking out of His face is a superb experience. Golden Age of Truth Satya, Treta, Dvapara, and Kali Yugas*, how many Ages come and go? Can you grasp it? It sounds like a magical illusion, but those who know can see all. In this Kali Yuga, the only way to channel the stream of our individual existence into the vast ocean of the cosmic Consciousness is to remember Mahanam while doing one’s duties. (* Yuga means Age, a cycle varying from 3,000 to 5,000 years. The four Ages and the corresponding cardinal virtues are: Satya (Truth; remember God), Treta (Perfection; self-sacrifice), Dvapara (Service; adoration through work), and Kali (Destruction; singing praise). Kali is the worst of times with violent destruction, breakdown of structures and abundance of ego. Dadaji said the Age of Truth set in toward the end of 1980, at the culmination of the Kali Age, and will progressively manifest after 1990.) Excellent is the Kali Yuga! The reward which one obtains in Satya Yuga by meditation (remembering God), in Treta Yuga by sacrifice (of self), in Dvapara Yuga by service (adoration through work), one receives in Kali merely by Mahanam. It is human conscience which will dawn at the culmination of this Kali Yuga. Humanity is in the last of the Kali Age that is correct. It is the worst of times and yet the best of times. Science is Kali’s last chapter. Time is running out, great destruction stands before us. That is why he (Dadaji) revealed before 1972. A basic question is: Why does Dadaji come at all? If the Guru is within as two sounds of Mahanam, if we are full to the brim with Him, if we have nothing to get, if all people are equal, and, if all manifestation through the body and mind is limitation, why does Dadaji come at all? He comes to suffer very really and to integrate all suffering of humanity and Nature, thus sanctifying it. He comes to pay off a debt to Nature. His body is material and finite, yet it is Infinite and Immaterial. Wherever Dadaji goes, his touch, vision, and Fragrance deliver whatever he contacts. Foundational Nature is thus delivered. Remember Name. This is the only path. In Dadaji appears the total Power of all Ages: Satya (Truth), Treta (Perfection), Dvapara (Service) and Kali (Destruction) together. Can you understand this? Everyday innumerable events take place, but has anybody attained anything? People come only to see the physical world, nobody wants the Real Substance. Note that very bad days are coming, no more time is left. In Mahanam alone is liberation. Satyanarayan is the solution to mind’s problems of this Age. There is no other way. This is Truth. One day the whole world will accept this view of Dadaji. Dadaji on Dadaji & His Own Your Dadaji, Amiya Roy Chowdhury, says do not try to test the Supreme Being. Do not try to understand Him with the help of your mind or intellect. Ever follow the Truth, then and then only, are you in communion with Him. I am a family man with a wife, two children, and grandchildren. I have a toy shop in Calcutta. From the time of my boyhood, I love Him, because I know that other than Him, I am nobody. God is Govinda, He is everything. I am full of Him. I am not a Guru, I am an elder brother. Dadaji is no individual. Where all limitation evaporates, the Truth Absolute is manifested in the form of Dadaji for the redemption of humanity, which is wallowing in the quagmire of finitude and want. There is a Dadaji in you and in all beings, omnipresent, at the root of the vibration of life. Dadaji is the complete repudiation of ego. He is no person, no body. Here your Dadaji is nobody. Try to follow that Truth. Each and everybody is He, so I can’t be separated from anybody. I exist as long as you exist, I am your existence. I shall always be with you. You are always with me. There is no distance between you and me. I am in you, you are in me, we cannot be separated.
I am with you always, whether you like it or not. I have come here to indulge in the Play of Love to the womenfolk (humanity). I can kill the mind. I will beat you! (That means, will give blows in life.) I will kill you! What is killing? Nothing but shedding off egoism. Most people think he works directly, but actually, he works indirectly. He strips one of all vestures. Those people who befriend Him in their suffering will surely go to the Infinite. Dadaji has been thrust here with all provisions. The program was to reduce to submission so-called holy people, priests, gurus, renunciates and intellectuals. There was no plan of mass contact. Listen, Dada has no anger against anybody. He is only concerned that these gurus and priests are offering a wrong thing to our honest, innocent people. And, why make a business deal while speaking about God?
I never go to places to give lectures. I go to particular houses where people come. I tell you, whenever I will feel that I am doing, then and there, He is far. Do you understand? He (Dadaji) cannot go for that. Man has not come here (to this world); he is that God who is doing that Mahanam that is the only Truth. You can love me as brother. Please do not take me for your Guru. That is my request. God is in all of us, He is in you also. You have to search Him out and you can discover God, your Self. God is everywhere. History has never recorded such an Advent, and it never will again. What Dadaji says is absolutely flawless. None has any power to find fault with His words. Nothing can stop His Work. I am not bothered for anything, because I am . . . I am. Dadaji’s Love is very sacred, secret and silent. Even the next person cannot know it, nor has one the right to know it. This Love is so deep, opposite to the worldly love which is “out of sight, out of mind”. His Love is perpetual and no barrier or distance can hinder it. Dadaji’s Love grows and grows for those who love Him. He gives indications of His Love. He is steady, unchangeable and has no expectations. He who is beyond all bondage and mind, keeps his eyes on his own persons. He guides them from within and without. So go ahead fearlessly in all activities of your life. The worldly life which a person leads is covered by pretensions, hypocrisy and illusory, undependable nature. This cover of falsehood, devoid of love, has become truth to a person’s nature. A few fortunates try their utmost to come out of this cover of mind and the Guru Almighty comes to hold them, to elevate them to the genuine natural state of Love, Affection and Bliss where He exists as the Husband, Father, Son, Friend and at the same time, Dadaji. This contact happens at the destined time to those who are destined as His own.
In the beginning you will have confusions and conflicts within yourself. Then your relatives, friends and others from all direct-ions will try to get you floating in worldly pleasures. Being slave to the ups and downs of life, they are gripped by their mind’s pleasures one moment, the next moment they wail and cry in despair with life’s sorrows. They judge others by physical form and can-not see the inner Self beyond. You have to be among st them to taste the variedness of life. Otherwise, like renunciates and ascetics, you will become an escapist, running away from the natural stages of life, scared of men and women around you. Your integrity lies in keeping control and balance, and practicing tolerance and forgiveness. This will prove that even though you live amongst these people who are slaves of mind, you are different from them. This control and balance does not come through practices or rituals, it comes by His Sharan (remembrance of Him). His Touch. Consciousness of His being within becomes firm, helping you face worldly jolts, life’s ups and downs. You and all who have met Dadaji have found a natural love in the worldly atmosphere and have been opened fully for receiving immortal Bliss. Those who are my own are always with me. Whatever happens to them, happens for their good. Maybe sometime their load of sufferings is very heavy. Know it to be certain, that is His Grace. I will never betray you. I will never forget you in my life. You are my own and will stay with me. I want you, you must stay with me. I love you from the beginning. He loves you. From my heart, He loves you. Ultimately, you will be with me. What you think, I think also. Do you under-stand? You are naked before me. Your Self is my Self. You are my heart. That is Absolute. So long as you are, I am with you. You are . . . you are. I love you all. Life. You are my life. I will love you forever.
