today i start a seriese of discusion name message from sai part 1 we see rich ,,middle ,rich middle ,middle

poor,poor .peoples in world all type o f people in the world the fact is weather the person is rich or poor hardly any person is truly happy superficially the wealthy seems to appear having a nice time by contrast miserly has constant companion to the poor how ever all are with out expectation full of intensity and insecurity only the fears of rich and the poor are different there are some people who are always happy with out having any worries of the wo rld some says the money is the key to happiness , and yet that does-not seems to be the case at best all the money seems to garunties temporary pleasure what then is the secret of real happiness for decades swami telling us so many times these days all rich and poor are cut out of nature in ancient times this was not the case people live in the open and communed free ly with nature and he often wonder what all all these things i see every day around me where did they come from is there a purpose in all that exist or non at all there is indeed a purpose the what exactly is that purpose where did i come from how did i fit into all this is there any meaning and purpose to my life and ifso what is it who determined that purpose and why what is called knowledge immersed from the answer to the questions like theses it is humans alone that have special ability reflect , ponder , inquire ,investigate , reason, to seek solutions ,and to acqu ire knowledge . in other words humans are unique , because they are having this amazing ability to be conscious conscious of many thing including universe and all that it contain since god is the source of the universe , every thing in it , including our capacity to be aw are and conscious has naturally come from god so let us start from god himself god the creator is abstract ,formless , eternal ,and best described as ultimate and ultimate most religions proclaim that fact no question about it on the other hand , most devotees of baba , tend to think of god in form of swam i alone , baba himself told , avatars are the embodied form the supreme one , sp ecial form tho in other words a avatar is a god with form , which he assume for a specific purp ose and limited time only , at the abstract level the supreme god is nothing but pure consciousness , that is y the vedas declare " pra gya nam bramaa " which means god is absolute or pure consciousness since god is pure consciousness , and every thing including us come from him it is natural that some aspects of consciousness is present in creation also how ever consciousness is not visible to the eye there fore cannot see it nor we can detect it by instruments either consciousness is beyond the senses , that is he 1st lesson we must learn nerveless this consciousness is present in the universe , further its power is i mmanent every thing in the universe for the cosmos , volcanoes , avalanches , ti ger , elephant , and even the tiny ant baba says for all there is 1 cause baba describing bulbs

u can see so many bulbs hear u can count there are many bulbs hear there is only 1 current that flows in all this bulbs that current is only the truth it is the omnipresence of god baba describes bulbs are many but current is one jalaludin rumi a poet discribes in a poem i died as a rock , evoved as a plant i died in mineral i was a plant i died as a plant i was an animal i died as an animal i was a man so he tells y shell i fear when i died , but 1s more i shell die to be as an blessed angel but even from angel-hood i must pass on all accept god perishes when i sacrifice my angel soul i shell become that which no mind never conceive d so let me not exist , for nonexistence proclamations to him we shell return a question now becomes are we avare that we are come from god , and a life in t he human form is given to us so that we may go back to god i am afraid most of us do not know that baba tells we waste our lives with out even bothering to enquirer of such matte rs which is y baba some times ask us and ans his question he asks who are you and he gives the answer you are the atma where did u come from from the suprime self where are u supposed to go back to the suprime self baba then adds knowing this truth engage your act in the bliss of the supreme also known as supreme self or as atma God is omnipresent that means consciousness is present every where in the unive rse to the galaxies to the ant as scholars declared 1) consciousness sleeps in a stone 2) stares in a plant 3) AWAKES IN AN ANIMAL 4) AND FLOWERS IN A HUMAN SO consciousness expresses its self in humans at best so human birth is very very special , because it is human only who can give hig hest expression to the divinity latent with in by the way swami often tells us of all the birth , the human form is a rare pri vilege and a special blessing the question now becomes how to what extent does consciousness flower in an hum an before we see the answer to the question we need some back ground swami says

every human being is made up of 3 distinct entities namely gross body , suttle mind and the atma which is the couse for all where does all these come from let us start with the body u and i will say the body is made up of blood bones flesh etc , very true but flesh blood bones are made up of molecules of various kinds ans molecules in turn are made up of atom ok but where do this atom come from u know some thing every atom in every human body can be traces to all the way b ack in beginning of the universe to the so called big-bang which where the universe is supposed to have been born by the way this is not some thing i am making up this is what morden science says thus our body is verily connected to the beginning of the creation thus our body is verily connected to the beginning of the creation since creation came from the creator we can say our body really came from god and u know what just to contentiously remind us that we all came from him god has decided to make our heart as his permanent residence that is what swami himself often tells us since atma is just another name for god and god dwells with in us that also means atma is also a part of us so of all that we learn , we not only body complete with senses , and the brain but the atma with in us of course as a result we can not only speak of bodily jeans but also spiritual and divine jeans the difference is the bodily jeans come from parents and through there ansistor , the divine jeans come from god or atma we are now left with question that we also have a mind don t we , where is that come from , we know all even animals have brains which is part of gross body of the animal concern thus the rat has a brain the monkey has a brain , elephant has a brain and so on the humans who are the end product of biological evolution have also a brain a v ery powerful brain in fact we are now left from a question where is that come from we know that all animals also have brain rat , monkey ,elephant have brain and so on human who are end product of biological evolution also have brain a brain very powerful infact but they also have some thing much more than mear brain that some thing is the mind it is very difficult to describe mind , the mind is not merely brain that many t hink it to be it is some thing extra that is shuttle and between the gorse body and the causal atma one may think of it as a interface of the body and the atma an interface of the brain and the atma growing towards each other shell i say the mind is extreamly powerful since part of it grown out of the atma so so powerful is the mind that in geeta krishna tells arjuna among the senses i am the mind

and in living being i am consciousness it is this power of mind , directly derived from atma , which human evolved from their existence , and few 1000 years attain amassing heights that some thing is the mind it is very difficult to describe mind , the mind is not merely brain that many t hink it to be it is some thing extra that is shuttle and between the gorse body and the causal atma one may think of it as a interface of the body and the atma an interface of the brain and the atma growing towards each other shell i say the mind is extreamly powerful since part of it grown out of the atma so so powerful is the mind that in geeta krishna tells arjuna among the senses i am the mind and in living being i am consciousness it is this power of mind , directly derived from atma , which human evolved from their existence , and few 1000 years attain amassing heights in fact so high the humans swod that they now totally dominate the planet the mind is remarkable in that it can focus attentions not only out side but also with in thus it is the mind can ask who am i the question that baba raises and discuses in discourses to u and me this question may sound strange but when swami is raising this question what he is asking is the following of the three elements that make of your personality namely body , the mind and the atma which of these you identify your self with who am i who are u baba says u r three the 1 you think that you are physical body the one other think you are mental body the one you arally are that is atma really are that is atma you are atma swarupam mind is like a mad monkey dont fallow the mind , dont fallow the body , fallow the consciousness that is your form that is love form that is true form having been this true form we wander so many directions what is that mean what is the mean if we say i am the atma what swami means that our thought , word , deed should reflect that the fact that we are atma to make us understands swami tells us if a persons who is dominated by the body and the senses will be like a animal w ith a tendency to be angry be cruel and so on a person dominated by the mind in other hand likely to be claver intelligent , c reative but the mind dominated person could also be ambitious , conning , untruth ,unhum an , brutal , and so on in the worst case the person can even be truly demonic what about a person who is tuned to the atma how would that kind of person be swami has discribed that person also kind , very loving always compassionate ,ever ready to help , always smiling and so on he would we the very embodiment of virtue and purity thus that ring a bell

may be it does yes that description reminds us of swami himself so that swami aften tells us your life should be my message so easiest way to say is "" love all serve all " do not think of hurting a peron person yet how many people we find who confound at this principals sadly very few y is that that because the mnd comes in the way mind comes in the way it distract our attention completely from swami teachings swami often tells us our mind can be good friend and show us the way to god on the same hand that same mind can mislead us and hand us to the devil thus mind can be a friend or and enemy if we are not careful enemy is what the m ind will become so what exact we should do to stair, turn the mind towards god the answer is simple fallow swamis teaching so now u can know y am i doing this small message serial we will recall many things swami has telling us all this years let us say our tourist has come thate are many cassino's , night clubs , the man sees a gambling then feels a urgs to go and gamble even tho he does not have much money with him this is what temptation is all about where exactly thus the temptation come from temptations is a manifestation of Evil tendency larking in the dark corner of th e mind that is where it hides like cockcrows do now when do cockcrows come out of hiding when it is dark and when there is no one around in the same way temptation shows its ugly face when there is darkness of spiritu al ignorance so our friend the tourist is fall to the temptations of gamble perhaps make some money some thing is telling him strong warning not to fall to the temptaiton what is that poor fellow to do swami says what the man should do is simple he must get in touch with his atma this he makes via the pipe line called the buddhi he should ask the atma my mind is telling me to gamble should i or should i not what ever the advice the atma gives it should faithfully fallow atma would say u fool u came hear to do surtain purpose do not fall to the false attraction , it may drag u to ruin this is y swami says always fallow the master your concise is your real master --->consciences is your real master conscience ,indweller , atma all are the dif way to god who resides in our heart let us go back to for a moment to buddhi for which we made a reference the simplest way to tell what bhudhi is all about is it is a hot line to god with in if the hot line is not kept in perfect condition we can not reach god when there

is an emergency obviously so how do one keep this hot line in working condition swami has the answer as always he says he says always avoid bad company avoid seeing what is bad avoid hearing what is bad avoid speaking what is bad avoid hurting others no matter what the circumstances make sure u always feel good and think good make sure u always speak good and do good very complected rules are they they must be fallowed regularly remembering swami , god will be always watching ok 1 does all that how does it help in the following way if u if u think u'r mind is misleading u u can diel the hot line and ask your conscience describing what the mind is asking you to do then ask is it write or is it wrong then ask is it right or is it wrong is it selfish or is it selfless is there any anger or jealousy involved is there any cheating or dishonesty involved will it harm any one will it do good to others and make them happy finally will god approve of what i am thinking of doing if u ask all this questions sincerely u can bet , baba , swami , god , who is se ated in our heart will guide us properly so there it is it is up to now 2moro we shell go forward , continue om sai ram ( god is mother omnipresent )
