RELIGION AND REALIZATION BY DIAMOND PICKED UP IN THE STREET

A day at Dakshineswar

(Henceforth Shri Ramkrishna will be spoken of as Thakur” when required as it is so done in the Gospel )

574. “Let a cup that contained garlic be washed as many times as possible, but the smell lingers yet”.

Cup – Cerebrum.

Garlic – evil propensities.

Washed – Life Power goes into the seventh plane and gets it purified.

Smell lingers – Life Power comes down and the evil propensities revive. Only in Nirvija Samadhi the evil propensities are burnt down. But it is seldom attained by a man.

Yes, in Individualism so much peculiarities and specialties are required and must be observed. In other words, it creates aristocrats (of course, a false one) in religion. Whereas, in Universalism there is no bar; if the Himalayas stand on the way, it is removed by the grace of God and it happens spontaneously.

Rajayoga carries this operation and it works like a miracle but at the same time it expresses the perfection of the experiences in an individual life otherwise no Universalism will follow.

Rajayoga operates spontaneously. Nothing can bar a man to eat the mango.

575. “The house-holder devotees, by themselves, form a class. They desire Yoga (transformation of Life Power) and Bhoga (worldly enjoyments)”.

Here also the same old tune in the chord – the peculiarities of the Individualism – the distinction between a house-holder and a Sannyasi. Yes, it had its origin in the non-Aryan religion, afterwards came to be known as Jainism, and Buddhism though discarded it (the self-mortification of Jainism) almost in every point but created the Sramans (afterwards Sannyasi in the Hinduism). They (Buddhists) made a clear cut distinction between a Sraman and a layman. Even they went so far as to codify that the only and sole duty of the layman is to feed the Sramans. Afterwards from Sankar down to Sri Ramkrishna, we find, the same distinction is advocated and entertained. Non-Aryanism, Buddhism and Hinduism, all of them strenuously urge this Sannyas but in the eternal religion, Sanantan Dharma, of the Aryans we do not find such distinction or institution. With the Aryans it was spontaneous manifestation of the Life Power, but in the subsequent religions which flourished in India, nay, in the world abroad, it is but by self-exertion; such is Individualism. But in Universalism no distinction is entertained. Everybody sees ‘Diamond’ within him. There is neither a house-holder devotee nor any Sannyasi. All that is required is a human body and having seen ‘Diamond’ within, he or she will declare ‘I am one with all’ – the summum bonum of knowledge doing away any and every distinction between man and man, establishing eternal peace and Love.

Everybody claims that his religion is based on love. Where lies its proof? Save and except some sweet slogans introduced by them, and they have left the burden to be borne by others with some bulls and bulletins – “Do this and do that”. Such is Individualism. But in the Universalism, we find what a deep love is entertained. Whosoever has seen ‘Diamond’ within him, his inner Self has been transformed into the Self of ‘Diamond’, i.e. One of this Oneness which declares perfectness and love and this is Universal Love. I love myself the best and utmost and I by my Mahayoga get others transformed into me only spiritually so evincing that I love him as I love myself.

To quote the metaphor of Patanjali that there is only one moon in the sky and innumerable tanks are there on the earth. The reflected moon is in every tank. The reflected moon gets the attributes of the moon in the sky.
I am Swapna Siddha but to my personal knowledge and astonishment all those who have seen me within them have also become Swapna Siddha and it is to run as long as I live.
