You have asked me today, my young
sister, if you should choose the life of a
sanyasin (nun or monk, a missionary) or not.
You want a readymade answer and I am
afraid I do not have one. Yet, I can say
something from my little experience.
If you have put to rest your desire to live with
another person for the rest of your life and are
looking for an alternative lifestyle, you may
surely consider the life of a sanyasin.
If you are ready to wed yourself to the
mammoth task of turning the wheels of society
to serve the needy, to provide social &
economic justice, to spark spiritual
rejuvenation of the planet even at the cost of
your personal desires you may unhesitatingly
consider the life of a sanyasin.
If you feel the inner calling to serve the less
fortunate, within the context of a disciplined
code of conduct, you may gladly choose the
life of a sanyasin.
Take it for granted though, my young sister,
that the life of a sanyasin is not an escape from
family responsibilities or a shunning of one's
duties towards others. The family of a
sanyasin is the entire world and so, a true
sanyasin is not a recluse or a hermit hiding in
the caves or mountains but, rather, an agent of
the Divine Consciousness. The sanyasin must
be ever ready to respond to the needs of the
Creators Family without having to worry
about the pressures of extravagant personal
needs or immediate family responsibilities
guided by personal attachments.
The life of a sanyasin is indeed a blessing of
the Guru, of Supreme Consciousness.
However, to be a successful sanyasin,
requires years of preparation to learn restraint
in life. Simplicity the renunciation of personal
wants, purity, nobility, large-heartedness and a
flaming spirit of service and sacrifice are some
of the hallmarks of a sanyasin.
So, if you feel a strong inner calling to reach
out to others with a vow to please the Divine
Consciousness in all beings, do not hesitate to
embrace the lifestyle of a sanyasin.
Whatever path you choose, may your life
journey be crowned with heavenly rewards
And Imperial Bliss!

Peace and happiness in the world seem
like a distant dream and those yearning for a
new age look at the future with doubtful eyes.
O my friends, Does not the darkness of night
disappear swiftly every day with the new
dawn? Thus does the deep darkness of the
endless reproaches of humanity also
disappear with the advent of a new story.. a
new discourse.. carrying the sweetness of
Universal Love.
The children of this new dawn bring the
wisdom, vitality and joy to turn the tides. Let
us lend them both hands, provide them with
our best tools so that together we can quickly
remove the scars of the past and start afresh.
Let this New Civilization serve All - big and
small. In choosing the goal of fulfilling “the
deepest potential of all living beings” lies the
greatest power of transformation. It is the
light of the early dawn that chases away even
the darkest night.
The righteous souls have started to gather
together hastening the advent of a new world.
Come, my dear ones, let us join this Great
Gathering of men and women of Universal
Minds. These are the true Apostles of peace
and we must give our full support in this noble
task.

Fear
disappears
with the magic touch
of Your Love Divine
Hate
gets transmuted
by the service
imbued with Your Universal Love
Anger
sheds its tears
and finds itself
as Passion for Truth
waiting to be
embraced
in a new world
by men and women of transcendence
At last,
Hope Appears
shining with the early dawn
after the long night
of tortured humanity
To deliver
justice and peace
with
rationality and Love.

Who are You who dwells secretly behind
my words, promises, intentions, doubts and
inner voices?
I have seen your shadow in darkness and
daylight prying on my secret intentions;
I have watched Your silence hidden behind
the disparities between my thoughts & words;
my words and deeds;
I have sensed your concern and anxiety over
my ignorance;
Yet,
I wonder why you are shy to appear before
me and leave me to hide my incongruities,
dualities and desperate emotions.
Or---Is it that you simply enjoy observing the
krid’a—play of my karmas, as my eternal
witness!
How can I know Thy motive, The Master of
my Inner Voices!
Reveal Thy Will to me, my dearest Lord!

85.
Come, my lord and quench my thirst
forever. My house is on fire and my mind is
running wild. Pour the water of your love to
extinguish the flames! The more I try to run
towards You, the farther you seem to go away
from me. The more I try to get closer to You,
the more hesitant You become to embrace
me, my love. Why is this so, my Dearest One?
I desire no separation, no gaps, no
distance. I wish only to be totally One with
Thee, my Love. Grant me your Love, my
lord, so that I may always feel Thine Infinite
Presence, in all Your finite manifestations.
O Life of my life, O’ my Eternal Friend come,
come! Your kingly throne within me lies
vacant; I await the soft sound of Your gentle
footsteps. Come my love occupy the
honorable seat in my humble inner palace.
I shall be forever in your debt, my Love.

86.
In the lotus garden, innumerable flowers
of different shades and sizes bloom every day.
They blossom each dawn with the morning
light. O my lord, my heart’s lotus yearns for
You, eager to bloom with the invisible light of
Thy Love.

87.
There is a shrine in the mountains where
towns-people go to worship and pray. Very
few ever take the trouble to go to the inner
shrine where our soul lives, providing the
spark of love that moves the world. The
soul’s radiance is beyond words, it is the
source of all intuition, it is the beauty of human
existence, it shapes all creative powers of the
Universe and it is Bliss-personified.

88.
O my little one, You have come into this
world carrying the hopes for a brighter future.
You carry the wisdom of the ages and you
crawl with bliss in your heart. Learn to wield
Shiva is trident representing the powers of
creation, preservation and sublimation to
protect the virtuous. May you grow in peace
so that you can transmute the hatred into love
and touch the world with your blissful smile
and ancient wisdom.

89.
This entire universe is my home and all
creatures are my kith and kin. The love inside
of me is my real passport. The universal
ideology is my permanent address. The
attachment to infinite cosmic spirit is my only
tie in this world.

O Unclaimed children of the soil,
You are being pushed around by the forces of
darkness away from your homes.
While you fight for your rights, forget not your
values, your culture, your language, your
proverbs and humor, your customs and
traditions, your hopes and dreams of your
childhood.
Conquer your enemies not by the power of
the sword but by love and service, by
dialogue and negotiations, by resistance and
boycott of those who do injustice to you.
Even when everything seems to fail, keep your
faith. Continue to educate your children to
create a better life. Keep alive your dreams
for a world of peace and love and justice.
While you resist the injustices, strengthen your
powers of self-defense, using the ancient and
subtle wisdom of martial arts and yoga, the
powers of chi and praÕna.
Be always at one with the Eternal Spirit.Ê
The power of Spirit is many times stronger
than the power of matter. The brute mind can
control the physical but does not easily fathom
the Spirit.
So, cultivate sublime and subtle ways while
you face the forces of darkness.
Success will surely kiss you sweetly at the end
of the long day.
