528. “So long the bee buzzes as it does not sit on a flower. Sitting on the flower, it sips honey and becomes silent. After sipping honey it becomes intoxicated and sometimes again, it buzzes”.

Bee – is the Life Power of an aspirant.

Does not sit on a flower – To reach the seven plane.

It sips honey and becomes silent – Honey is Brahmananda or the Supreme Bliss and silence denotes Samadhi.

It becomes intoxicated – It loses its egoism or ‘I’-ness. It so happens in Samadhi.

Again, it buzzes – It is in Descent – “Thou, Thou”. It is so in Individualism. But in Universalism, it is ‘I’ and ‘I’, and it must be so spoken by thousands. To clarify it – a man see ‘Diamond’ within him. He comes and says, – “I have seen you within” and it means “I am Thou”. In a similar way thousands see, come, and say and it means. “We are Thou”. Here ‘Diamond’ does not speak but thousands ‘Is’ speak. Here lies the difference between Individualism and Universalism – just the reverse. Furthermore, Individualism does not bear any proof, whereas in the Universalism the proof is borne by thousands.

Attainment of Brahmahood or the Universalle-La’-Homme in the life of a living man is the marked proof of liberation and nothing else. It is so spoken in the Vedas and its veracity we see in our everyday life even in this very era.

529. “When an empty pitcher is dipped in the water of a tank, it makes a gurgling sound. It is filled up and silence follows. But if the water of the pitcher is poured into another pitcher, then again it sounds”.

Pitcher – is the human body.

Water – is Brahma (symbolic); it is so seen.

Tank – represents the seventh plane.

Sound – is Nad.

Silence – is Samadhi.

Pouring into another Pitcher – make a gift of Brahma Vidya.

Again it sounds – Descent.

530. “The devotee replied – It is Arjuna’s chariot I see. In front of it, both Lord Krishna and Arjuna are seated and talking. It makes me weep”.

Arjuna – represents ‘I’-ness or ego.

Chariot – is body.

Lord Krishna – is God with form.

The whole picture reveals that God has taken charge of the devotee and is conducting him. It is realization.

(Some lines from the song of Ramprasad).

531. “The yogi who enjoys in the Self, gets this Primordial Force of the body as Inner Self or Atman and the size of the Inner Self becomes ‘Pranab’ or ‘Aum’ or ‘Nad’ (Sound)”.

The plain meaning of the line is that Primordial Power or Adya Sakti in the body has got another form and that is Aum or Nad – a sound only. To throw more light on it, let us go a step more. Human body is microcosm and the Universe is macrocosm. The big universe before our very eyes has got another form as a sound, or in another words, a sound is seen as a big Universe. It is Vedic Descent, an individual realization and no proof can be set forth.

“Everything is possible with God”.

– Sri Ramkrishna

After penetration of the sound comes Sthitha Samadhi. Some advocates that this Nad sounds like Aum. Thakur differs with them and says that it is but the sound of a bell. He claims that it is so shown to him by the Divine Mother.

Aum – is a Sanskrit word. Sanskrit-knowing people may understand it; but, what about for the rest of the human race? So Thakur is right. God is for one and all. Nad is but One of His forms and it is meant for all, and not only for Sanskrit-knowing people. So Thakur is correct and Nad is a sound to be heard by all by the grace of God.

JIBANKRISHNA OR DIAMOND THE HOLY GHOST AND MY DIARY OF DIVINE DREAMS

Chapter 2 part 2

He who awake in those that sleep.

The person who fashions desire after desire,

That indeed is the pure. That is Brahma .

That indeed is called the Immortal .

On it all the worlds do rest;

And no one so ever goes beyond it.

              ( Katho Upanishad : 5.3 )

My Divine Dreams:

 

 My divine dreams started at the age of 18 in 1959 after getting Jibankrishna or Diamond as my God-The-Preceptor in dream. I came in contact with him in 1959, but after 3 years got detached due to my higher studies. After long 13 years he again appeared in my dream forecasting about my future life which came true in my waking life in the long run. Since 1959, I have innumerable divine dreams numbering 730 till now which still continues, covering a wide range of aspects. All these dreams are recorded date wise which may be of great interest to research workers in future and will be realized how divine dreams change a human life from animal passion  to divinity, transforming a man to Brahmahood ( Supreme Being) which is a birthright of every human being.

DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF MY DIVINE DREAMS

My divine dreams cover the following aspects:

1.    Dreams indicating my own progress of austerity under the guidance of God-the-Preceptor. The numbers of dreams are above 500.

Divine dreams always indicate how is your progress in austerity within yourselves. The life power is in every human body. It has always the tendency of going upwards to reach cerebrum or 7^th plane to be transformed into God This is a spontaneous process and is called Rajyoga. No exertion is needed to be transformed into Supreme One or Brahma. When God-the-Preceptor appears within you by His grace, He will guide your spiritual life.

What progress you have made will be revealed in dream. This may be either symbolic or real which is more effective.

2.    Indication of increase in brain-power through different dreams. Numbers are  40.Increase in brain power is indicated by seeing innumerable people in dreams, by seeing far future and past, or experiencing advance science. All these experiences I have in my dream.

3.    Annihilation of space. Number of dreams are many. In dreams when the seer goes to another place, it means that there is annihilation of space. In dreams I have gone to many foreign countries without going there in reality. This is the example that the whole universe is within a human brain.

4 .  Near and after-death experiences, based on spiritual aspects showing esoteric conditions of the body. In some of my dreams I was on the verge of death or crossed the region of death and again came back to life by the grace of God-the-Preceptor. Touching death point is called Jada Samadhi and crossing death region is termed as Sthita Samadhi which means merging in infinity to gain more power (Complete transformation into God).

5.   Vision of important persons like international and national politicians, film stars, players etc showing effects either on them or on waking world.

6.   Vision of Hindu gods and goddesses, Great  Prophets like Lord Christ, Mohammed, Sri Chaitannya, Sri Ramkrishna etc. Numbers are above 10. In many of such dreams my previous births were shown, though, this has the explanation like this - Past, present and future are merged in human brain. As and when necessary, these may reveal through dreams in pure consciousness. The same character governing genes of Mr X of the past may dominate in Mr Y of the present, and so, it is seen like that. In Vedanta there is no rebirth.

7.     Out-of-body experiences, though quite different from clinical experience. Actually we explain like this- In all divine dreams Soul gets separated from the body and shows His sportive forms to the seer in the form of a person who attained Godhood in his life time. This has been mentioned in Upanishads clearly.

8.     Repetition and narration of previous dreams within a dream. Numbers are above 18. Many times I dreamed that I was narrating my previous dream to my God-the-Preceptor very distinctly in a dream, either seen long before or seen recently. This is an indication of advanced brain power.                                                                                                                                                 

9.   Vision of past through dreams: I have  quite a number of such dreams on either far past like Prehistoric age, Vedic age, scenes of old Testament etc.           

10. Vision of far and near future: What will happen within a few days was shown to me in my dreams. For example, many incidents happened after I dreamed the same scene in my dream. But more amazingly, I have experienced telepathic conversation with my expired mother, extra-terrestrials, journey by light speed spaceship, world after 10000 years and strangely, solution of Stephen Hawking’s information loss theory in dream. Besides these I saw many future visions numbering nearly 100.

11.  Merging of dream and reality:  In my dreams it happens many times that what I was dreaming happened simultaneously outside whenever I woke up. Sometimes it was vice-versa. This condition is mentioned in Upanishads.

526. “If the arum is good then its shoots become good. Like father like son”.

It speaks of heredity. In Vividisha a good heredity is an essential requirement for attainment of this Brahma Vidya or culture. Really it is not so. It is God’s grace – the only thing that is required.

In Universalism there is no bar for a man to eat the ‘Mango’ as every man is Brahma in embryo because he is born as a man. It is his birthright.

527. “The holy man makes God known to the aspirant”.

Holy man – is God-the-Preceptor.

He is seen within the body. He is made of God’s Light. He is nobody else but God with the form of a man who has become an Avatar. It is he who shows God to the aspirant. Aspirant has no form. He has become Atman. He has pure consciousness there within this Atman. This pure consciousness sees and hears. He sees God-the-Preceptor from there and also hears God-the-Preceptor speaking – stretching his hand and pointing with his first finger, “This is God! This is seeing God”!! – and then God-the-Preceptor is merged in the God – within whom the aspirant is with pure consciousness (Suddha Man). It is wonder of the wonders to the seer as he did never conceive such thing, did never read it in any book nor did he hear it from anybody.

The Vedic version is that God is beyond the conception of the human mind and speech. Thakur differs. He declares it emphatically that “God is seen by pure consciousness”. The writer collecting all the emphatics in him openly declares that Thakur is wonderfully correct and accurate. Thakur’s version runs thus “To see God is the sole purpose of the human life”.

JIBANKRISHNA OR DIAMOND THE HOLY GHOST AND MY DIARY OF DIVINE DREAMS

Chapter 2 Part 1

                                                              

MY FIRST MEETING WITH JIBANKRISHNA (DIAMOND)

It was the month of March-April,1959. One evening a friend of mine named Nisith took me to a gentleman at Kadamtala, Howrah (West Bengal,India). Without any hesitation we entered into his room. He was reading a book, lying on his cot. I was introduced with him by my friend. I realized that my friend was familiar to him though I never knew about it. The gentleman asked about my whereabouts and after some conversations both of us came out with great peace in mind unknowingly. I came to know that his name was Jibankrishna (Also known as Diamond as a writer of the book ‘Religion and Realization’).

I was only 18 years old at that time and couldn’t fathom who he was, but with an unknown attraction I started going to him often.

One noon time, along with my friend I was sitting on the cot of Diamond who also sat beside us. During that time no one was in the room.. After some conversations he suddenly told me, ‘See my boy, for some years you will be totally engaged with your carrier building and studies and have to face hazards. But later on you will have to come back to this spiritual world and as days pass on, you will be approaching towards Higher Self and perfectness.’ While he was saying these words, he was patting on my back.

It was another day’s incident. There were many aged devotees in the room. It was about 3p.m,. A conversation was going on regarding my carrier. Suddenly Jibankrishna told the aged persons indicating me, ‘See, what is the necessity of having huge amount of money! A man’s life is quite sufficient with an earning of Rupees 300/- to 400/- per month (During that period it was sufficient). I am saying that he will be blessed by God in all respects – Yes, I am saying it.’ While uttering these words, he was in ecstasy.

I was only listening to him but could not understand its significance. I realized after many, many years when my life was destined as per his forecast.

Meanwhile, a new thing has developed in me. I started dreaming in various ways. During those periods I had no ideas about the significance of such dreams. But after long years I came to realize that these are divine dreams which are completely different from Freudian dreams and Upanishads have mentioned about such dreams thousands of years ago. I realized that these dreams show the progress of austerity of the seer through spontaneous upward movement of the life power within the body.

So a new era thus started in me revealing a new concept of Religion which is quite different from the traditional ones dealing with only human being who carries God within his body and nowhere else.

MY CHANGED PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE AFTER COMING IN CONTACT WITH JIBANKRISHNA OR DIAMOND

I was born and brought up in a large joint family(As used to be found in our country long time back and still I live in a joint family though small in volume). I have learnt from my elders how to share a good thing with others.

I am blessed that in young age I got the blessings of God within me and got Him as my God-the-Preceptor who has been guiding me as well as controlling my life since my young age. The same mentality is still working and so I have become restless to share the Truth achieved by me with the whole human race. I feel from the core of my heart that I am only a human without any race or religion. We have seen and learnt from the Holy Ghost Jibankrishna or Diamond how people of all religions, casts and races have seen him within them ultimately being transformed into perfectness achieving the highest degree of divinity which is the birthright of every human being.

Yes, the whole philosophy of life is changed and so in spite of so many allurements of life, honor and recognition of my professional life I could ignore all these by the grace of God. We have realized that God is nowhere else but within our body by seeing Him within us. We have realized that this human body is the Temple, Church or Mosque.

I have seen and still I am seeing how myriads of people are growing sense of Oneness after getting Jibankrishna as their God-the-Preceptor in dreams, trances and even in reality. All these incidents and experiences of innumerable people I have recorded in my fifteen books after compiling from different diaries numbering nearly twenty thousand pages since 1976.

This is amazing that all these incidents were indicated through my dreams beforehand. Now I have understood the sayings of Jibankrishna when one day he said, ’Dreams will control your life’. This has become true in my life and not only with me but this is applicable to all human beings. A man will realize this when he will get God-the-preceptor as he will control the seer and guide him throughout his life.

523. “Everybody will get God but He must appear within”.

The Bengali word ‘antarik’ used here by Thakur literally means ‘within the heart’.

It is a yogic term. On the surface it transpires to be sincerity and earnestness but in the yoga, it means automatic revelation of the self in the inside of the body. The term has got double meanings – superficial and another cryptical.

“Sastras (religious treatises) have double meaning – one according to the popular sense of the word and the other according to the realizations taking place within”.

– Sri Ramkrishna

It carries the sense that any and every member of the human race is born to be transformed into God, provided he gets spontaneous manifestation of God within his own physical body.

524. A. “By chance some blind men came near an elephant. The animal was introduced to them as elephant. The blind men felt the elephant by parts only such as pillar, tail, winnowing-fan, etc. Their version varied”.

B. “Once a man had been in a forest and saw a chameleon on a tree. He saw it red. He came back and told his friends that he saw a wonderful red animal on a tree in the forest. The friends differed with him in respect to the color of the animal. To one it was violet; to another it was blue; to some it was scarlet; and so on”.

The above two metaphors bear the stamp of dualism. It evinces that dualism gives birth to all discords and disagreements. It had its origin in a partial realization. It is proved that it is more a curse than a bliss as it is an error in realization; but it is emphatically declared that it is right and correct.

“Mother! No clock keeps correct time, but everyone thinks that his clock is right. To have one’s clock correctly adjusted, one must get it tallied with the sun”.

– Sri Ramkrishna

‘To get tallied with the sun’ means that there is one sun and that one sun is seen by all, and so when a man becomes Brahma, He is seen by all in the inside of the body. The clock of everyone tallies and goes right.

All disagreements and discords vanish.

‘Man in the sun’ sets up attainment of Brahmahood and is an open declaration of the Universal Man.

525. “But you are at liberty to say that for some devotees God assumes a perennial (eternal) form”.

Perennial (eternal) form – The form of a man made of God’s Light and it is seen by thousands. He is Parama Brahma – ‘Man in the Sun’ as declared in the Chandogya Upanishad and the seer of the Man in the Sun is called as Brahma in the golden chamber of the cerebrum (Brahma of the Hiranmaya Kosha). But both Man in the sun and the seer are but One and it is so declared by the Rishi of the Upanishad. It is de facto. It is seen in the seventh plane and not in the outside. It is termed as ‘Absolute Equality’ and ‘Abstract Equality’ by Plato.

‘Man in the Sun’ – sun signifies Life Power in a man. Life Power is eternal in a man. This Life Power in the cerebrum assumes the form of the man who has attained God, i.e. who has become God. It will be seen by many and they will declare it. In other words, the man, who becomes God, turns to be the Life Power of the Universe. Seeing Him in the Sun denotes it.

Chapter -1  

                                      

INTRODUCTION :

A brief note about Diamond:

In the year 1893, a new era in the spiritual world has begun when a child was born at Howrah Town near Kolkata(Calcutta), India. From his very childhood divine realizations began to manifest within his body. At 12 years 4months age Vedic Truth revealed within him with the appearance of God-the-Preceptor in his dream and thereafter numerous realizations started within his body with ultimate result of visualizing ‘Atman’ or Divine Soul or God in him as mentioned in Upanishads.

              

 As a result, according to Upanishads he was being seen in dreams among innumerable people irrespective of religions, sex and age in many parts of the country though without his knowledge . Afterwards they came, narrated their dreams and identified him.

               

Simultaneously, further realizations used to happen within him and the number of people seeing him in dreams, trances, meditations and even in physical body began to increase.

               

Such phenomenon, was mentioned in Upanishads, but without citing any proof. But we are quite fortunate to witness such phenomenon in our life. Seeing such man in dreams the seer gets his body purified, his thinking and feeling purified, he gets him as his God-the-Preceptor who guides him in the spiritual world in dreams throughout his life, he sees God’s light, he gets himself transformed into God and finally he sees the descent of God assuming the form of a man in him. But all these happenings come to pass through sheer grace of God.    Such phenomenon was narrated in Svetasvatar Upanishad like this:

1)      Who is the face, the head, the neck of all,/Who dwells in the heart of all things,/All pervading is He and bountiful,/Therefore Omnipotent and kindly( (Shiva). (3.11)

           

2) Thou art woman. Thou art man. / Thou art the youth and the maiden too,/ Thou as an old man totterest with a staff./ Being born, Thou becomest  facing in every direction.(4.3)

Again Chandogya Upanishad has mentioned like this:

The seer sees not death,/Nor sickness, nor any distress./The seer sees only the All,/Obtains the All entirely.(7.26.2)

                  

And Katha Upanishad has mentioned about this man or Purusha like this:

He who awake in those that sleep. /The Person who fashions desire after desire,/That indeed is the Pure. That is Brahma. /That indeed is called the Immortal./

On it all the worlds do rest. /And no one so ever goes beyond it. (5.3)

But the most striking feature is this, that even after his demise in 1967, he is still being seen by countless people not only in our country but in different parts of the world in dreams as well as in physical body either knowingly or unknowingly.

Katha Upanishad has remarked on such immortality thus:

When are liberated all, /The desires that lodge in one’s heart, /Then a mortal becomes immortal, /Therein he reaches Brahma.(6.14)

The era of Diamond reveals that a man may see all the sportive forms of God with all His attributes in dreams, and becomes Brahma to be united with each human race bearing Love for each other and be united in a Point which is the first occurrence of its kind in the world history.

Diamond’s version on divine dreams

Both Chandogya and Brihad Aranyaka Upanishads have dealt with divine dreams. They are of opinion that realizations and manifestations of God in dreams are purer and finer than in an awakened condition of the body….

Joseph was engaged to interpret the dreams of the Pharao in Egypt. God spoke to Moses, ‘Henceforth I won’t come and talk to you in person, but I will convey my command in dream.’ In Buddhism the arrival of Buddha in the world sprout out of a dream dreamed by Maya Devi, the mother of Buddha, who dreamt a white elephant, coming from the heaven, entered her womb and in normal course Sri Buddha was born.

Sri Ramkrishna’s father in the present era also dreamt that ‘Raghubir’ ,the household deity, appeared and told him that he would take his birth as a son to him. The Old Testament is full of divine dreams. Mohammed dreamt that he was carried in a chariot of seven horses to Heaven near Allah and from Him he received instructions and command….

God is in the inside of the human body. He, out of mercy to man, manifests Himself in words within the man and thereby He makes him His own chosen man through the words and becomes his guardian and Preceptor….

Somehow or other, to see God and to realize His sportive forms in dreams was a lost chapter. Sri Ramkrishna has again given life to it(in the nineteenth century) and established it….

Susupti is profound sleep. At the outset, as well as at the end of sleep, realizations appear, but neither during the sleep, nor in the full awakened condition. Such realizations are reckoned as realizations in Susupti or profound sleep.

In all the four states of life,viz: (1) Waking;(2) Dreams;(3)) Profound sleep or Susupti and (4) Turiya or Supreme conscious existence, there are different realizations of God’s sportive forms in the body. There are some lucky fellows who see God in all these four states of life. Some again see the sportive forms of God in the three states; (1) Waking,(2) Dreams and (3) Profound sleep. There are some who see God in the two conditions:: Waking and (2)) Dreams. Some again see God and His sportive form in dreams only. In dreams the seer gets his body purified, his thinking and feeling purified, he gets his God-the-Preceptor, he sees God’s light, he gets himself transformed into God and finally he sees the descent of God assuming the form of a man in him. But all these happenings occur through sheer grace of God.

 What is God-the-Preceptor- Jibankrishna’s (Diamond) role on human body

Jibankrishna says: God-the-Preceptor assumes human form, appears before you, blesses you and says, ‘you will attain God-head’. God in the body takes this unknown or by gone human form selects you as a bridegroom, in other words, makes your body a play ground for his blissful and joyous sports.

He teaches you the whole course of ‘Rajyoga’–the emanation and transformation of God through the five sheaths or the seven planes into the Supreme Bliss………..

Without attainment of God-the-Preceptor, a devotee is not lucky enough to see God in various states in him; nay, not only this, but he will not get the least response of God in him.

Thakur (Sri Ramkrishna) says, ‘Without the bliss of God-the-Preceptor, there cannot be any upward progress’. This upward progress means the upward motion of the life power in a man, that is waking of life power and her march in the seventh plane without the attainment of God-the-Preceptor, the life power does not wake up. There cannot be any realization without life power being wakened up.

The attainment of God-the-Preceptor is a kind of transformation into God-with-Form as God in the body assumes that form out of sheer mercy.

520. “The sting of a venomous spider or scorpion cannot be cured by mere uttering of the magic words. It needs the application of the smoke of dried and burning cow dung cakes, the patient being covered with a blanket from head to foot”.

The sting of a venomous spider or scorpion – egoism or ‘I’-ness.

Cannot be cured – cannot transform the ego to God. To obtain Godhood is the only remedy.

Application of the smoke – awakening of Life Power or Kundalini. Smoke rises high up in the sky, so Kundalini rises to the cerebrum.

Cow dung cake – transformed form of the five elements. This human body is also made of five elements – a transformed form.

Dried and burning – when the body does not hanker after creature-comforts or so called enjoyments, the body is dried. ‘Chaitanya’ or ‘Atman’ in the body gets awakened and perforce trying to come out from the physical sheath to the sublet sheath, it is burning. A burning sensation is felt. It was so felt by Thakur. He was passing by the garden-house. As if, somebody threw a heap of burning coal over his body and he felt the burning sensation all over the body.

The burning sensation sprang up within his body automatically and he felt it. It was physical awakening of Atman and Atman is seen and so it is ‘Substance’. There was no other agent in the outside to throw the burning coal on the body of Thakur.

Patient – ego.

Covered with a blanket – Subtle body. The description is of the outside but really the subtle body is seen in the inside. Outside is used simply to denote the happening of the inside.

With outward symbols, the yogic conditions and actions are described.

521. “After a bath in the Ganges, it is certain, that a man is absolved of all sins. But it is of no avail. They say the sins rest on the top of the trees on the bank of the Ganges. No sooner the man returns after his bath they come back and take their seats on his shoulder”.

Ganges – Sushumna or the inner current of Life Power.

A man is absolved of all sins – he has taken a plunge in the seventh plane where the Ganges (a river) is seen to flow by many.

Tree – this human body.

Sins rest on the top – they are not annihilated (annihilation takes place in Nirvija Samadhi – eradication of the seeds of all the evil propensities of the brain), but they remain in concealment.

The whole episode is that a man may get taste of God in the seventh plane but he must keep on there for good and if he comes back he will get back his former self of animality. This is Vividisha and this is not correct. In the garb of Aryan culture, here an attempt has been made to insert Vividisha. But in the face of reality or Yoga the metaphor does not stand. It is out of God’s grace that a man is transformed into God and no variation can creep in. God is Omnipotent.

522. “The declaration of the dogmatists runs thus – “Well, look here, my religion is alone true and all else is false”.

It is of the deepest regret and a failure to declare such a thing. God induces him to make a parade of his own ignorance.

Religion is the manifestation of one’s own Real or Divine Self and it takes place automatically in a man and it makes him God. Universalism starts. The human race will see Him within and they shall announce “Thou art God”.

This is religion or in the language of the philosophers, it is evolution of the Life Power and its proof is borne by thousands.
