Discourses-----Day 13 December 7, 1939 It was afternoon. Thakur was talking with a Kirtan singer, Babuballav Goswami by name. Thakur said, “Some seed falls on rocks, some among brambles, and some on good ground. It is the same libido at work. Everything depends on where it strikes and gets set. Once it gets properly set on a Sat-Guru, the job is done.” Pointing to one of us, Thakur said, “You with your digging remarks, if you could use them for the sake of Ideal, you would be pouring honey into people’s ears. Some weep out of repentance. If they could do it for Ideal, they would flood many, to put it mildly. There is no need to curb passion and anger ; rather, the greater they wax the better. All that is necessary is to regulate them for Ideal’s use. If they are obliterated, with what can one do the work of Ideal ? And religion too has its acid test here. ‘I worship daily, I love God ; yet my skill and agility are not what they should be. I am enjoying an abundance of life.’ What is this ? If I fall into such a plight, I must know that there is something radically wrong with me. Whether one is looking for wealth or not, wealth is bound to embrace one who walks in the path of Ideal. Wealth that has service for its foundation is proof that a man is leading a genuinely religious life. That is why it has been said in Chitanya Charitamrita : ‘Wealth and light pervade this world entire. For love that’s void of riches I have not least desire.’ But one who loves his Ideal in order to attain a certain position or level, or for the sake of gaining wealth, does not set anywhere. It is even said, ‘The desire for liberation is the worst of all obsessions.’ Everything settles down if one’s fancy falls upon Ideal. Love for his sake sprouts in Yaajan. All spheres of the brain become active in Yaajan. Knots and obsessions built around petty desires gradually work loose.” After a long discussion Thakur concluded, “There used to be a Bharadwaj University, Basistha University, Shandilya University, etc. These will have to be built up again for the revival of culture,” Sri Sri Thakur talked a long time to Goswami in this vein. Afterwards Goswami came to us and said, “I am a religious instructor to thousands. Narrating sacred literature is my profession. I have seen lots of holy men and pandits. But it is for the first time that today I have understood the real import of Dharma, and I know I shall not get again such a guide in my effort for becoming. So I have decided to take initiation this very day. I have been misinterpretingmany things. Now I shall have the chance to correct them.” Sri Sri Thakur was sitting on a cane stool under a thatched shed. Kestoda, Gopalda and others were standing by. All of a sudden Sri Sri Thakur’s teacher came by. Thakur stood up out of reverence and called for a chair. The tutor took the chair brought by Gopalda, after which Sri Sri Thakur resumed his seat. In the course of conversation Thakur said, “I used to meditate excessively. Meditation without activity led to some strange insensitiveness. It was as though I could feel no sensation, good or bad, happy or sorrowful. The tremor of life that had been mine left me. I became something like solid. That was a veritable hell, then I began to put my mind to work, and then any original condition returned. Children who do not take any interest in domestic affairs, or who are otherwise not actively engaged suffer also an impairment of receptivity for studies in their brains. Those who have urged to give something to their parents are bound to rise. In those who do not do anything for their parents and family but go about doing things for neighbours some abnormality has crept in. And over –zealous, excessive sympathy for women speaks of mere sexual throbbing.” Sri Sri Thakur asked me, “Did you do Swastyayani yesterday ?” I answered, “Yes”. Thakur said of me to someone standing by, “He is unable to beg. He is quite incapable of it.” Kestoda said, “Eight fetters fall off in begging.” Sri Sri Thakur : “It is very true Begging for Ideal builds and expand a man from within.”

MEANING OF SURRENDER (CONVERSATION WITH PROF. BOB CUMMING) =================================== 12th August,1964. Nirala Nibesh, Thakur bunglow. Robert(Bob) : What happens when one has surrendered himself to the Ishta (ideal)? Thakur: Then, the concern towards the Ishta becomes prominent in his life. His eyes, nose, face everything reaveals the sayings and features of the Ishta. Sadhana comes to him automatically. He experiences visuals and feelings. He wants everything of Ishta to be perfectly beautiful and acts accordingly. The word 'SURRENDER' has two parts: 'SUR' means above and 'RENDER' means 'to give'. I have submitted myself on the feet of Ishta that means I have become completely HIS own. To surrender to Christ means to accept Christ. Why have I accepted HIM? Only to love and serve HIM. Hence Christ lies above everything. Surrender is the topmost position of love. Your each and every facial expression shall witness your love towards HIM, and you shall act automatically. Untottering love towards the Ishta shall make you like that. . . . . Robert Bob Cumming became spell-bound by listening to Thakur. After spending a few days at the Ashram, he took initiation from Respected Sushil da on 27th August, 1964. As Diksha-pranami Professor Cumming reverendly submitted a large Moonstone in Thakur's hands. Thakur took it in hands and asked to hand it over to S.S Boroma. Boroma took it in her hands and said, "What is this thing? It's so beautiful! " After doing pranam to Thakur and Baroma, Bob Cumming said, "Thakur, you guide me." To this Thakur smilingly replied, "YOU LOVE ME AND THAT LOVE WILL DICTATE YOU HOW TO BE GUIDED." ¤NOTE: Professor Robert Bob Cumming was an American devotee of Thakur and a professor. He helped the author (Sri Manilal Chakraborty) in editorial work of 'The Message'. Ref.[Smritir Maala] by Sri Manilal Chakraborty. Jaiguru.

WHY DID GOD CREATE SO MUCH DIFFERENCES? ===================================== Q: All the discords in the world arise from Differences. Why did God create so many differences in this world? Thakur: In the absence of any differences we could not even feel each other. If only I exist, nothing exists except me, then it seems as if my existence is also not there, and if present also, I can not feel it. That is why there is the need of exclusiveness. Through the cooperation of many distinct individuals, each distinction survives. No one can survive individually (without cooperation from others). But if we get interested in the Divine Unity, then inspite of the differences, we enjoy one another, we enjoy to grow, and grow to enjoy. Ref.[Alochana Prasange,Vol.7,page.13,4th edn]

INITIATION OF ELITES THE NEED OF THE HOUR ===============­===============­=== MEANING OF INITIATION: "The practice through which capability of a person increases is known as Initiation." Ref. [Diprakshi, vol. 3, page 207] INITIATE THE ELITES! "You people should work in such a manner that the elites of higher level and higher calibre get initiated and self-willingly get engaged in the propitious service towards the Ideal and the environment. You are initiating only those people who are mentally at a lower plane than you. Often, you initiate the men who are at a lower level than you because in this way, you are getting their admiration very easily. No mental toil is required in this case. You may become very happy by initiating a weak-minded man by telling him some illogical miraculous story. But the conviction which is required and sprouts up to initiate a superior type man is missing in this case (of initiating a weak minded man). That is the reason that you people are not growing." [Alochana Prasange,Vol.6,p.5,4th ed.] "Of course I am not saying to stop the mass-initiationprocess. That, you should do but 'mass' and 'class' are like two wings of the movement. If the balance gets disturbed, the whole progress of the movement shall be affected." [Alochana Prasange, Vol.6,p.6,4th ed] Question: Is it a must to take initiation? Thakur: There are various complexes and passions present in us. The more these complexes increases, the more endangered becomes our existence. By taking and practising initiation, the road towards the uphold of existence opens up. Ref [Alochana Prasange, Alochana, Poush, 1396]

The memorable message from Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy (The Then CM of West Bengal) in regard to Satsang Organisation: “I know that Satsang of Pabna has been carrying on philanthropic and educational work with great distinction amongst the people of Bengal and India, irrespective of caste, creed and community. Any help to Satsang would help the cause of Indian People.” Sd./ B.C.Roy Chief Minister, West Bengal, 16th August, 1948. [Excerpts from “Mahamanaber Sagartire” (2nd Part) by Kumar Krishna Bhattacharya] The another memorable message from Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy (The Then CM of West Bengal) in regard to Satsang Organisation: “Satsang is a unique institution of its kind and there has been at Satsang an unusual combination of the spiritual and material and the institution is a genuine sustained attempt to secure the best of the old and the new, the Eastern and the Western to balance education with industry and to enshrine the brotherhood of man. Owing to the political changes in the country the institution is confronted with serious problem of rehabilitation.As the institution is doing substantial work in education, industry, art, social service and religion for the benefit of the country, it has become necessary that everyone should help it with all his might.” Sd./ B.C.Roy Chief Minister, West Bengal, 13th Sept.1948. [Excerpts from “Mahamanaber Sagartire” (2nd Part) by Kumar Krishna Bhattacharya]

CHASTITY (सतीत्व) OF WOMEN ===================================== Q: In many women, chastity(SATITWA) is still intact. Thakur: Look around carefully,most of the cases are of 'chidden chastity'. It means that it is not spontaneous and natural. Maybe because of the fear of public-disrepute, they are maintaining their chastity physically, but it is far from the original chastity which normally means devotion towards the husband with all mind, body and conduct. If that adherence towards the husband is present, she starts thinking her husband as her own existence. The attachment which people have towards their existence, the same attachment is seen in the chaste women for their husband. She doesn't stand still untill her husband is pleased. She has the power to induce life into the lifeless body of the husband just like Sati Behula. Hence, chastity is an object of sadhana. If someone is not chaste by birth, one can not be chaste in actual terms. To be the parents of such a chaste girl is a matter of destiny. It needs a lot of good deeds. A Chaste girl makes the whole clan holy. Wherever they go, they leave their golden imprints there by everything prosperous. Lakshmi,Saraswati come along with them. The children of their wombs are no less than dieties (devas). Normally, it is seen that the girls who have attachment towards their father before marriage, is seen to have devotion towards their husband. [Alochana Prasange, (4/01/1946) Vol.7,4th ed]

The Interdependenceof Different Varnas ===================================== The organizational structure of the Varna system has been so constituted that the different Varnas cannot but be inter-dependent. Moreover, it embodies such a happy adjustment that none can ignore another by being unbalanced on account of pride caused by honour, political authority, economic resources or physical strength. The Vipra occupies a unique position of reverence and honour due to his renunciation, moral excellence and superior service. His wields a great influence over the society. But this Vipra has hardly any material wealth in his hands. People are his only assets. On one side, he enjoys enormous social esteem, but he has to embrace a life of voluntary poverty. And he has to depend for his subsistence on the loving oblations of people. So, social dignity does seldom get any scope to make him unbalanced. The Kshatriyas are the kings. They have tremendous power in their hands. But they are not the owners of wealth. The economic power mainly belongs to the Vaishya. Moreover, a king will have to conduct his administration under the guidance of a selfless Vipra or a God-realized man. So, royal power can hardly make him insolent. Again, though the Vaishyas own material resources, they will have to submit the dictates for Brahminical and martial authority. Otherwise, they will have to be subjected to social and political chastisement. So, in the Varnashramic society the Vaishya cannot afford to move according to his sweet will though he possesses money. And though the Sudras are endowed with tremendous physical strength, they will have to use it for the benefit of the society. So, a compete harmony and co-ordination exists in the social organism as it has to exist in our physical system. As brain, heart, lungs, liver, spleen and different organs mutually uphold, protect, help, and fulfill one another and thus maintain their existence intact by contributing to the life and vigour of the entire system, so also the harmonious and co-operative move of different Varnas serve to maintain themselves and also the entire Varnashramic society intact. [An Integral Philosophy of Life, page 141-142]

WAY OF ACHEIVING SELF-CONTROL (Discourses with an Indian seer Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra) ===================================== Question: What is the way of acheiving self-control? Thakur: At first we have to understand the need of self-control. We see that the reason behind self-control is the want for our Being. We want our Being. Whatever we do in lieu of our Being is our Pravritti or Passion. If we loose the existence, then we can not enjoy the passions(enjoyment of passion here means meaningful adjustment of passion). Passion lies in the shelter of Being. Hence the passions should be enjoyed in such an adjusted way that they do not hamper the nourishment of the Being. There comes the concept of Self-control. Suppose I am greedy of sweets. I want to consume sweets but do not want to get consumed by them. When passion exploits our Being, then we have to resist. This is called (Self) control. But this can not be done by words alone. When the passion strengthens it's clutches, then it becomes nearly impossible to control. That's the reason, that above everything, there is Love. If there is active adherence towards the Ideal,then our passions also serve HIM. Hence, surrender (to the Ideal) is so much needed. Then we feel bad to do anything against the will of Ideal. Even we stop thinking those things which are against HIS wishes. If you carefully observe a devout child, a chaste wife and a master-loving dog, you shall see how easy and spontaneous is self-control in their lives. They do not have to try hard for this. And it is this kind of self-control which persists. Otherwise, to do self-control by force, some unwanted incident may occur at any moment. The passions should also be fulfilling to each other. IF each and every passion doesn't fulfill each other, if there is conflict within them, if they are kept as in a water compartment (in various sections), If they lack adjustment among them, if they do not serve the Being by mutual assistance towards each other,then there is no self control. If any of the above things are violated, then the whole Being is endangered. Therefore, with all the passions, one should love and serve the Ideal. That makes the passions integrated and well-adjusted. This is the simple path as I understand. To love HIM, serve HIM and please HIM is my duty. What more do I want? Ref. [Alochana Prasange, 24/01/1946] (Discourses)

Story of a clove : Alertness in every action Thakur Anukulchandra used to take clove as a mouth-freshener. Once at Deoghar, while taking a clove (along with few betel-nut pieces), accidentrally it fell down somewhere in the ground. Thakur became anxious and started searching that single clove. People around Thakur also joined to search that clove. Evening was knocking and hence people had to arrange 2-3 torchlights too. Is it that much important to put so much time for a simple clove when plenty of such was easily available ! Finally, after 50 minutes, Thakur only got that clove from a fold of the ground-black-carpet. It was indeed a great relieve for him and all! Thakur used to tell – we should not neglect any small thing. The habit of negligence will invite greater trouble in near future. Also, Thakur used to tell – if something is stolen from your house, it’s insult for you. You were not alert. Thakur wanted highest level of alertness of all of our sensory organs for the life-n-growth. {Ref : Book "Priyaparam" (1st edition) by Sri Debiprasad Mukherjee}

SIGNS OF PRATILOMA (HYPOGAMOUS) OFFSPRINGS {Discourses of an Indian seer: Sri Sri Thakur Anukulchandra} ===================================== The offsprings of Pratiloma marriage are just like hens. If one of them is culled, the other thinks, 'It does not concern me. Why should I worry?' They are unable to understand that in this way, everyone is going to be killed. They do not have this much of foresightedness. How shall they have foresightedness? When a man is blinded by selfish ego, he can not do anything which fulfills the self. To be blinded by selfish ego means to go against one's own self. That is called obsession. The Pratiloma offsprings can never be united. To be united requires submission towards the Ideal, towards the values, which they naturally lack. Where the parents themselves have betrayed against the Ideal, the values, what more can you expect from their children? Their very 'make up' (structure) itself is of anti-existential type. Hence, no matter how much one tries, they can not be rectified. If good 'metal' is not there, how can you do anything good? They are simply incurable and along with them, those who are good, if they also come in contact with them, their downfall is also ensured. That is the reason that the scriptures and the society have kept them as an outcaste. This is not out of hatred, but this system has been incorporated as a measure of self defense. If this much strictness were not there, everything would have gone to doom. Not a single thing could be found pure. Nowadays, Jihad has been declared against the orthodoxy but it is hard to describe in words how badly we are in need of Ideal-centric orthodoxy. Manu has told, "Jatra twete Pariddwansa Jayante Varnadushakah, Rashtrikyahe saha Tadrashtram kshiprameva vinashyati." Our society and the scriptures have banished and resisted the Pratiloma marriage and have side by side encouraged the Anuloma marriage. The Anuloma offsprings are like Hyenas. If one of them is attacked, all of them come to resist that. Ref.[Alochana Prasange, 11/1/1946]

Thakur's LOVE for a street-dog : Once, the keen disciple of Thakur Anukulchandra, Prafulla Kumar Das-da convinced his close friend to come to Deoghar Satsang Ashram to meet and discuss with Thakur. His name was Manoranjan Das (a cadre of IAS or Indian Administrative Service). The day, Manoranjan-da met Thakur, Thakur was deeply upset. With heavy heart Thakur told him – I am not in a positon to talk to you! That dog (a street-dog, suffering from cold-n-fever) died yesterday. I could not cure him though tried....Ishould have done more.....I should have taken more care ! Prafulla-da felt embarrassed as he was hoping that Thakur will talk with his friend generously. When Prafulla-da expressed sorry to his friend, then Manoranjan-da told – What I saw today, that is far beyond my expectation ! What a feeling and love of Thakur for a neglected street-dog too ! I am returning with an everlasting memory….! (From Manilal Chakraborty)

" We should maintain the secrecy for the aim of doing betterment of the people . It should be expressed through acti- vities but not in words .The people wil not accept you , - if you say ' come, I will work for your betterment ' - people will not accept it. Even they refuse to take 'Amrito' (nector of heaven ) if it is given directly to them . Our aim is to give them Amrito , not openly but secretly with loving manner." ( translated from Amiyabaani ) BY S. S. Thakur . Joyguru.

One and only A SEER can see the future all the round. Others may predict. But, HIS forecast is not mere a prediction. It’s an ULTIMATE, just like Live broadcasting. Can we imagine !!! The Great SEER of the modern era, Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra elaborately described a figure on 4th July, 1948 at Deoghar. [Ref : Alochana Prasange, Vol – XII, Page – 115]. The book was published in the year of 1977.

HOW TO TAME LUST? ===================================== "If you give indulgence to your passion of lust, it will take control over you. Hence it must be actively ignored. The tendency of lust towards women should be erased from the mind. And in the outer world, one should create such an environment that the mind doesn't even get the chance to think over all those things. One should always be preoccupied in undertaking some virtuous deeds and holy responsibilities. One should never be a puppet at the hands of complexes by any way. The five senses are always trying to attract us towards them. That's why to avoid this, surrender to the Ideal is needed. Just verbal surrender is not surrender at all. Practically, one should indulge oneself in active service towards the Lord - whatever is possible for one to do at a given time, place and circumstance." Ref. [Alochana Prasange, Vol.6, pg. 164-165, 4th ed]

“I want to know what you say you are?" One evening as we sat with the group around Thakur, Mother arose, and without preliminaries, asked, "Thakur, a great many of your followers claim that you are God. Now I want to know what you say you are?" The group stirred restlessly, clearly resenting what sounded to them like an attack upon their Saint. An elderly disciple arose at once. "I can explain this . . ." "No, no," Mother cut him off rather rudely, "I've already heard what all of you had to say. Now I want to know what Thakur says!" Thakur's face glowed with a wide, boyish smile. Obviously, he enjoyed both the discomfiture of the group and this American mother's determination. "Ma, if they call me God, will it make me more than I am? And if they call me devil, will it make me any less? As you see me, so I am." Mother nodded, satisfied, and sat down. Apparently, she chose to see him as a son, for in the months that followed, she advised and questioned this elderly Guru in much the same manner and tone that she used with my brothers and me. Thakur responded with a demonstration of filial devotion and affection that exposed my own inadequate attempts to please, to understand . . . and be understood ... as superficial. In this three-way relationship, Mother and I grew very close, and our new understanding pervaded every aspect of our lives together. When her visit was over, she said, "He can't be God. No man can. But Thakur has loved God so deeply that he has gained many qualities of God. He's become godlike/' As the final good-bys were said she wept unashamedly. So did Thakur. So did I. After she had returned to America, I received a letter from my elder brother, a Protestant minister. In it he wrote, "Mother has grown in understanding and depth during the past months with you. It is hard to believe. The regard she has for your Thakur is of such a high order, that someday, if I get the opportunity, I'll come and talk with him myself."

EFFECTS OF NAM DHYAN (MEDITATION AND HOLY NAME) ON HEALTH ========================================================================== ¤ NAM DHYAN INCREASES THE CLARITY OF VISION "Doing regular Nam Dhyan increases the vision of eye. After doing Nam Dhyan, one should look at the 'green distant horizon' for some time. This should be done regularly." Ref. [Alochana Prasange, Vol. 15, 7/1/1949] ****************************************­********** ¤ IMPORTANCE OF SHAVASANA (शवासन) "Shavasana regulates and controls the body system. By practising Shavasana, Heart failures and many such sudden accidental diseases can be averted." Ref. [Alochana Prasange, Vol.20, 30/12/1951] ************************* ¤NAME CAN CURE DISEASES "Everything nurturing the existence relates to HIM. Repetition of the Holy Name Cures many diseases. The depth to which the Name is repeated, the immunity power also increases to the same extent. With Name, various changes and developments occur in our mind and body. Those changes are very easy and normal." Ref.[Alo: Pra. Vol. 16, 3/4/1949]

The last words of Deshbandhu & Thakur’s warnings Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das passed away at his Darjeeling resort “Step Aside” on 16th June,1925. Sri Manohar Chandra Basu who was whole time P.A. to Deshbandhu disclosed the last statement of Deshbandhu after a few days of his sad demise. At the last moment of his life, Deshbandhu desired, "Bhombal, aami Pabna jabo [Bhombal, I ‘ll go Pabna].” At that time, Mr.Chiraranjan Das alias ‘Bhombal’ who was his only son was staying with his wife Sujata Devi at Pabna Satsang Ashram under the guidance of Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra. Deshbandhu took the holy initiation from Mata Manmohini Devi on 14th May,1924. After that, in a historic letter to Mahahtma Gandhi Deshbandhu wrote him,”I was beset with innumerable difficulties which, in-spite of the knowledge and experience I had, I could not solve. But, I got a very strong feeling from Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra after accepting Him as my Guru. I have learnt from my Guru , the value of Truth in all our dealings. I want you to live with Him for a few days at least. Your need is not the same as mine. But, He has given me strength, I did not possess before. I see things clearly which I saw dimly before.” Before leaving for his much needed vacation in Darjeeling to recover his poor health C.R.Das declared with high hopes, “Thakur, I ‘m going to make this village the brain centre of India. I ‘ll bring all the leaders here to meet with you!” “Das da,” Thakur shook His head sadly, “Will such attention make us more than we are? Come. Stay with us a while. Rest and regain your health. You are exhausted Das da …….” But, Basanti Devi (wife of Deshbandhu) was infused with a nervous tension that Deshbandhu could not take proper rest in Pabna instead of Darjeeling. So, Deshbandhu left Pabna promising Thakur that he would come back for a longer stay in the near future. But, he was never to return. Ten days later the Satsangees were saddened by the news that their eminent brother ,C.R.Das was no more. With this death, the followers of Thakur had felt again that there should be no alternative way of Thakur’s warnings.

Where they will be born is a result of the past and the accumulation of positive and negative action, and the resultant karma (cause and effect) is a result of one's past actions. This would lead to the person to be reborn in one of 6 realms which are; heaven, human beings, Asura, hungry ghost, animal and hell. Realms, according to the severity of one's karmic actions, Buddhists believe however, none of these places are permanent and one does not remain in any place indefinitely. So we can say that in Buddhism, life does not end, merely goes on in other forms that are the result of accumulated karma.

American disciple Mr. Bob Cumming wrote a letter to Sree Sree Thakur on his returning from Deoghar to U.S.A. A Letter of few letters was full of love, dedication & regards from a devotee to his Living Ideal : “Dear and Reverend Thakur, I have reached Bombay safely. Be in me. I ask this specially when I am away and can not come to sit in the sun with you. I hope you are well. With much love…………………. Bob (08.12.1964).”

"A great experiment for the uplift of the people in every possible way is being undertaken during the last 25 years under the inspiring guidance of Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra of Satsang Ashram. The progress achieved has been remarkable is more than one-way. The collection of a band of sacrificing workers for the economic, moral and spiritual education of the masses is a proof positive of the high ideal of this institution. But the manner in which this ideal is worked out is even more worthy of note. I think the path of our freedom lies much in the manner of work that Satsang is doing." -sd /- Gopinath Bardoloi Premier, Assam 05.08.1945 Excerpts from “Priyoparam” by Debiprasad Mukhopadhyay [Pg. 55-56]

“If a man looks at the sky at night, he finds a few stars and celestial objects; but if he looks through a powerful telescope, he finds many more not visible to the naked eye. Their invisibility does not mean their absence. If we can raise the power of our sensitivity and perception to that extent through excellent practice we would not require any sort of external aid for the purpose. This is a factual reality and has nothing supernatural about it.” - Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra Alochana Prasange [Vol-X, 28.01.48]

¤:अनुमति :¤ श्यामाचरण मुखर्जी उर्फ गोपाल -दा और फिलानथ्रापी आफिस के कर्मी दुर्गाचरण सरकार दोनोँ राजबाडी , फरीदपुर जिला जाने के लिए परमदयाल श्री श्री ठाकुर से अनुमति माँगे । श्री श्री ठाकुर जाने के लिए असहमति व्यक्त किए । जाने की अनुमति नहीं दिए । लेकिन गोपाल -दा एवं दुर्गाचरण-दा वहाँ जाने का जिद करने लगे । अंत में श्री श्री ठाकुर उदास मन से धीमे स्वर में बोले -गोपाल ! सोमवार सुबह तक लेकिन राजबाडी से आश्रम वापस लौट आना । जरूर लौट आऊँगा , बोलकर गोपाल-दा और दुर्गाचरण-दा राजबाडी, जाने के लिए निकल पड़े । राजबाड़ी जाने के लिए ईश्वरडिह स्टेशन से ट्रेन पकड़कर पोड़ादाह जं॰ उतरना पड़ता था और फिर दूसरी ट्रेन पकड़कर राजबाडी के लिए राजसाही स्टेशन में उतरना पड़ता था । वहाँ से लौटते समय वे दोनों राजसाही से निर्दिष्ट दिन ट्रेन पकड़ कर पोड़ादह जं॰ तक आए । पोड़ादह जं॰ पहुँचने पर जब गोपाल -दा उतरने लगे तो दुर्गाचरण-दा उनको रोकते हुए बोले मैं तो कलकत्ता तक का टिकट लिया हूँ । गोपाल - दा कलकत्ता जाने से अस्वीकार करते हुए बोले - मैं श्री श्री ठाकुर से आज लौटने का वादा करके आया हूँ । बातों -बातों में ट्रेन खुल गई । गोपाल-दा उतरना चाह कर भी दुर्गाचरण-दा के बातों में उलझ कर उतर नहीं पाए ।आगे जाकर ट्रेन दुर्घटनाग्रस्त हो गई । गोपाल -दा और दुर्गाचरण-दा दोनों इस दुर्घटना में मारे गए । इस दुर्घटना के कुछ दिनों बाद श्री शैलेन्द्रनाथ भट्रटाचार्य हिमायतपुर सत्संग आश्रम में एक दिन श्री श्री ठाकुर से हाथ जोड़कर निवेदन करते हुए पूछे थे -ठाकुर !आप तो सबकुछ जानते हैं -गोपाल -दा ट्रेन दुर्घटना में मारे जाएँगे । आप यदि दया करके पहले ही बता देते तो वे बच सकते थे । श्री श्री ठाकुर बहुत गंभीर होकर बोले थे - केवल डर दिखाकर और भविष्य - वाणी करके यदि तुमलोगों को मेरे पास रखना होता , तब मेरा प्रयोजन तो सिर्फ इतना भर ही काम के लिए होता । "मैं " ही यदि तुमलोगों की चाह रहूँ , तो जो मैं बोलता हूँ उसे मानने में इतना प्रश्न क्यों है ? ---" इष्टमनन " से

पूजा सन 1949 की बात है । श्री श्री ठाकुर यति -आश्रम मेँ उपविष्ट हैँ । पश्चिम बंगाल के कम्युनिष्ट पार्टी का एक नेता मिलने आए । बातचीत करने के दौरान वे पूछे - ठाकुर, जिनको पुकारने से मिलते नहीं हैं, मनुष्य की विपत्ति में उपस्थित नहीं होते हैं, जो मनुष्य की आशा -भरोसा को पूर्ण नहीं करते हैं वैसे भगवान की मनुष्य पूजा क्यों करता है और ऐसे भगवान की हमलोगों को प्रयोजन ही क्या है ? देखते हैं कितने लोग उनको पुकारते हैं, लेकिन वे तो कभी सामने उपस्थित नहीं होते हैं ? श्री श्री ठाकुर तम्बाकू पीते -पीते बोलेँ - मान लेँ आप रेस्टोरेन्ट में बैठकर कप में चाय पी रहें हैं , चाय का हर घूँट आपको एक नई उत्तेजना का आस्वादन दे रहा हो । लेकिन इसी कप में कुछ समय पहले हो सकता है एक संक्रामक रोगग्रस्त व्यक्ति चाय पीकर गया जिसकी जानकारी आपको नहीं है । अपने आनंद का आस्वादन पाने के चक्कर मेँ प्रतिषेधक की तरफ अपने कोई दृष्टि नहीँ दिया - जिसके चलते हो सकता है वह रोग जीवाणु आपके शरीर के अन्दर प्रवेश करके छुपा रहा और कुछ वर्षो बाद वह आपके शरीर को रोगजीर्ण बना दिया । आप उस समय सोचने लगे मैं तो इस रोग की इच्छा जाहिर नहीं किया था तो भी मुझे यह क्यों हुआ ? रोग से ग्रसित होने के बाद उसका कारण जानना कोई बड़ी बात नहीं है - रोग नहीं होने के लिए जो-जो करना उचित था वह आपने नहीं किया । जीवन को रोग से ग्रसित होने बचाने के लिए जो-जो सावधानी बरतनी चाहिए थी वह आपने नहीँ किया- यदि वह अज्ञानता के चलते हो तब भी प्रकृति के इतिहास में उसके लिए क्षमा नहीं है । गलती से आग में हाथ डालने से आग किसी को क्षमा नहीं करता है चाहे वह कितना ही मासूम क्योँ न हो । इसीलिए जो-जो करने से जिसकी प्राप्ति होती है उसे नहीं करने पर कैसे आपकी इच्छा पूर्ण होगी ? पानी बनने की सामग्री ( Hydrogen और Oxygen) हो सकती है आपके आस -पास ही हो, लेकिन आपके चाहने से ही क्या वह पानी बन जाता है -उसको Laboratory में ले जाकर एक Certain Temperature एवं आवोहवा सृष्टि करने पर Hydrogen और Oxygen आपस में प्रतिक्रिया कर जल बनाता है । इसलिए प्रत्येक क्रिया ही एक विधि या नियम का अवलम्बन करती है । इसलिए भगवान का एक नाम है ' विधाता '। वे विधि को धारण करते हैं एवं स्वयं स्रष्टा होने के बावजूद वे भी इस सृष्टि के नियम के माध्यम से सृष्ट होते हैं । इसलिए जो-जो नीति या विधि के माध्यम से मनुष्य भगवान को प्राप्त कर सकता है उस विधि को छोड़कर उनको पुकारना व्यर्थ है । अतः गीता में है - " अवज्ञानन्ति माँग: मूटा मानुसिँह: तनुमाभितम् ।" "के तुमि विप्लवी?"से

THE SCOTT'S POCKET WATCH These two Scottish characters are chatting. One of them then pulls out an expensive looking pocket watch from his pocket to check the time. "That's a fine watch you got there!" says the other. "Yeah it is, isn't it? I got it from my grandfather," says the guy with the watch. "Really?" "Yeah, he sold it to me on his death bed."
