Message at Hyderabad on 24-10-1974 On the Eve of His 75th Birth Day Celebrations
I appreciate your enthusiasm marked with the celebration of my seventy fifth birth day. If I look to myself, keeping it in view - the question arises, whether I am fit for this sort of occasion. The reply comes that it is all the power of abhyasis which is working in harmony with my inner feelings. So the credit goes to you. I am simply a toy in the hands of the Master.
Ill I was and I am weak still. But when I think of the Master, I become young with all percolating influence of the Great. The disease is hated by all who suffer. But basically it is very purifying. When impure 'Samskaras' come into 'Bhog', the eyes of the creator are towards us. It serves as a cradle for rocking the baby and we get nourished. Even when the virtuous 'Samskaras' come for 'Bhog', the eyes of God are towards us. It means, we are benefited by the disease also which takes along with it the vicious 'Samskaras'. All is the play of His love. Do not feel surprised if I say love and hatred are the same. Love is only positive thinking and hatred is negative thinking. It is very strange that people do not like to remember God who is so merciful and kind. All His actions are greatly beneficial to us. People think that remembering God is an unprofitable business although, I say, it is more profitable than the biggest factory in the world.
I feel happy when the word 'Universal love' comes from the mouth of any person. Generally the saints of the day preach universal love but they do not find ways to tell you how it is acquired. Only remove the hatred, I say, and universal love is there. Suppose a man is a liar and he wants to get rid of this habit, he should start speaking truth because a sort of character will be formed with concentration at the bottom in a natural way. If you attempt to be attentive on lie to be removed it would indirectly make it stronger and stronger because concentration is there by which they get power. So is the case with universal love. It is there like a silk-worm in a cocoon.
I may just tell you an incident which happened during my recent illness. I was in the state of delirium. I transmitted with unique power and exactness to an abhyasi fully watching his condition and helped him to cross fifty eight points within a few minutes. I was transmitting to my other brothers of the Mission also. I answered to a few questions of abhyasis too - and, I was told after my recovery, that they were to their fullest satisfaction. It is not very difficult; clean your sub- conscious mind to grasp the sense of discipline and the thing is there. At the same time, mark the efficacy and infallibility of our system that the work of Mission did not suffer at all.
The work of the Mission will save the humanity from its doom by carrying the teachings of Master to every heart. Mankind today is groping in the darkness of materialism. Fear, greed and jealousy have gripped the man and every sense of value is lost. Only the torch of spirituality can remove the oppressing gloom and restore the real man. Let the light of the Real, shine in the heart of everyone so that we may rise up to the expectations of the Divine!
