VALUABLE ADVICE/AMRITA VANI OF SRI SRI RAM THAKUR FROM 

TRANSLATED AND EXPLAINED IN ENGLISH FROM REALISATION.

Vedvani No. 14 (First Part).

“Satyake seva karite karite sati hoy”.  To practice/serve of the “Truth” ceaselessly and continuously turns into “Sati”.  “Sati” means to acquire complete knowledge of “Truth”/Paramatma.  What is the way of “Satyake seva”.  The only way to know the “Truth”/”Satya” is by virtue of recitation “Holy Srinam” ceaselessly and continuously always at any stage.  “Patibrata haile kaler hath haite satyake uddhar kara jay”.  Sri Sri Thakur here wants to say that one can get rid of birth and death {“Kal” means, “After birth human being/any animal must dies i.e. body is mortal but the soul is immortal) by viritue of “Patibrata” religion and can save the “Truth” for “Kal” (bitrth and death stop automatically i.e. in that circumstances, Jibatma turns into “Truth” and enters into the “Paramatma”. Then there is no birth and death. That situation is feeling of Premananda, Paramananda, Satchidananda and Nityananda)}. What is “Patibrata”? Sri Sri Thakur here wants to say that “Pati” is God who is the Almighty Powerful and Supreme throughout the whole Universe. Inhabitants of Vrindavan/Braja would think “Lord Krishna” their God/Pati.  They always thought that their “Pati” whatever may be poor, fool, patient or may get happiness/sorrows from Him, all are sweetful/”Amrita”.  In general sense, most of the people think that “Pati” is the husband of wife and the wife should respect and take care of her husband in al respects and this is called ‘Pati Seva’, but it is only for worldly life sense.  Here, Sri Sri Thakur wants to say in religious sense that all human beings are females (“Nari Jatee”).  God/”Pati” is the only Male who is the Almighty Powerful Supreme God called “Purusouttam”.  Here, Sri Sri Ram Thakur is our “Pati”/”Purusouttam”.  We must have to surrender and give up all to His Holy Feet.  On the whole, in every field and at any stage, our full faith, respect, puja, seva, to play “Hari Kirtan”, Bhajan etc giving up everything to Him/His Holy Feet is called “Patibrata”.Thus, our “Pati” will save and get rid of birth and death. At this stage, Jibatma will combine and mix with “Paramatma” relishing “Nityananda”, “Paramananda” and “Satchidananda”.

“Chintay, karye, shwasprashwase sthirbhav abalamban kariya patibrata ba bhagabannista haile shuchi hoy”. Sri Sri Ram Thakur here says that to keep holding thought, activities , breathing potential/stationary etc.  feeling to the “Patibrata” (surrendering every thing i.e. puja, bhakti, respect, seva etc to God is called “Patibrata”) or blind and strong feeling that God is all in all (Supreme Power) and to shelter nearest to God is called sacred/”shuchi”.  “Chinta” means thinking of only Name(“Srinam”), thinking of God or “Paramatma”.  Besides this, nothing is to be thought.  “Karya” means activities.  Whcich activities are to be done? The main activity is to cultivate honest efforts.  We must give up all evil activities.To remove evil deeds, we must have to follow true path, valuable advice of Sri Sri Thakur. “Shwasprashwase Sthirbhab” means the “shwas”(breathing) which is taken inside is called “Shakti” i.e. “Shakti Devi” i.e. “Ma Kali”, “Ma Bhagabati”, “Ma Durga”, “Jagatdhatri”, “Annapurna Ma” (These are all various powerful shapes of “Shakti Devi”).  By virtue of receiting “Holy Srinam” ceaselessly and continuously always at any stage implied by Srugurujee in this breathing”Shwas” inside Jibatma, strength of “Kulakundalini” is enlightened to meet with “Paramatma”.  “Prashwas” which is geven up from enside jibatma is called “Prashwas” i.e. it is Shiva. So God Shiva is helping to give up all evil deeds from inside Jibatma of human being.  In this way, good/honest procedure of thinking through “Shwasprashwas” ceaselessly and continuously sitting in a holy seat accurately brings a very delightlful shape and gradually this Jibatma settles(stops)”Shwasprashwas” (no breathing).  In that circustances, Jibatma reaches very nearest to God, and thereafter, it combines with “Paramatma”.  One can conquer this stage by virtue of “Patibrata” religion. In that condition, Shakti Devi and God Shiva together come in the same shape.  In that stage, one can relish eternal pleasure, “Nityananda”, “Satchidananda”, “Paramananda” etc. In that stage, Bhakta, Bhakti, and Bhagwan are three shapes/figures, but they are the same.  It is very very difficult, but nothing is impossible, subject  to “Sriguru Kripa”

“Sarbada swakrita Karmanusare jatnaban thakiya nitya triptikar bhagabat sevar shakti Aaharaner pratiksha karite hoy”.  Sri Sri Thakur here says that everybody should be carefully absorbed in own duties always in accordance with his/her duties i.e. whatever duties are vested with him/her. He/she has to wait for ever for acquiring contented strength for serving God. Now, what is the way of acquiring self contented strength? It depends on honest efforts/own careful duties (karmas) by virtue of satisfying God.  To satisfy God is the easiest way to recite “Holy Srinam” continuously always at any stage implied by Srigurujee. “Arthat sakal bhar Bhagabane diya bhagyanujayee karmakshetrer aay anusare byay kariya dhir dharyashaktir dwara param pad labh karite para jay.” Here, Sri Sri Thakur wants to say that one should surrender completely (100%) to God and according to fate, one should expend in accordance with one’s income at variance with job concerned. For this, strength of stationary patience is required so that one can acquire “Parampad”i.e. most valuable eternal strength.  “Pather sahay sarbashaktiman Bhagaban nirlipta shakti bitaran kariya thaken, tahar sahajye a bhaba samsarer aabaran kataiya niskriti labh karite para jay”.  Here Sri Sri Thakur says that in our path, Almighty Powerful God is always favouring us by implying inadequate strength by virtue of which one can get rid of birth and death from this worldly affairs net of all obstacles.  How is to get rid of birth and death?  Sri Sri Thakur again and again advises us that it is a very very difficult way to get rid of birth and death, but nothing is impossible. Every human being comes to the earth taking his/her debt of this world, hopefulness, desire, anger, jealousy etc everything diminishes/exhausts completely. Due to this, he/she has to suffer birth and death again and again.  Almighty Powerful God attracts jibatma to His own Paramatma when jibatma/Bhakta gives up all worldly affairs and recites “Holy Srinam” always ceaselessly and continuously at any stage implied by “Srigurujee”.  To reach this stage, he/she must have to strong and blind belief to God and besides Srigurukripa, nobody is able to realise “The Truth” i.e. Almighty Powerful God.

“Bhagabat charcha prakritir bashe doddolyaman thake baliyai basana jale baddha kariya lay”. Sri Sri Thakur here says that anybody who is almost in doubtful(depressed) situation under the aegis of nature of practice of divine (belonging to God) has to confine himself/herself in the net of desire.  This means that man’s nature is made up from his/her birth.  He/she cannot realise what is good and what is bad as the nature makes him/her this situation according to qualities of the nature i.e. every human being has three qualities of nature.  These are ‘swatwa’, ‘raja’ and ‘tama’.  Man’s character is accordingly formed.  If “quality of swatwa” is much more in human being, his/her character/behaviour is mostly bent to religious matter.  He/she holds honest path and keeps good relation to other persons.  On the whole, he/she is good natured person.  Those who have possessed “quality of raja”, praise themselves for their wealth.  Most of them think less about God.  They always try to exploit the poor people and utilise own power to the poor people; but who has possessed “quality of tama” may be a thief, dishonest and always remains in sinful acts.  So for any quality of nature, a person has to confine in the net of worldly affairs for fulfilling of his/her desires.  “Thai jibaddashay kartabhiman dwara kriya karmete baddha kariya dey”.  This means that those are the above desires for which in human stage, a person has to confine himself/herself to the activities of own pride (kartabhiman)”.  Ai bhranta maya mugdha jibaddasha mukta laite ekmatra bhagabaner ashroy bhinna anya kona upay sristi hay na baliyai bhagabat padasharaner udbartan karite hay, tahai kripasapeksha.”  This means that to get rid of this forgetful attraction (maya) of spellbound human stage is only the way to take shelter to God (100% surrender to God).  Without complete surrender to God (i.e. here God is Sri Sri Ram Thakur), there are no other ways created in this world. For that reason, it is one’s duty to take shelter/surrender to the Feet of God and it is only the way to have kindness of God (Sri Sri Thakur).  “Ataeb sarbada jaha prarabdhabashe karshanadi barsan shaktir upabhog utpanna paoya jay, sakal abasthayai uddeshya smarn rakhar dike chesta karite hay.”  This means that whatever activities by virtue of induction of destiny/fate (prarabhdha) have always been done by anybody are for having the strength of enjoyment.  Sri Sri Thakur here says that at any circumstances, everybody should try with a view to keeping full remember to God.

“Samsar Shabdatie Abhaber smarak, jahate maner sukh dukh uday hoy tahai samsar.”  Sri Sri here says that the word “samsar” (worldly affairs) is the memorandum/symbol of unfulfilled desires for which happiness and sorrow of mind is created that is called “samsar”.  This means that this “samsar” (worldly affairs) is a play of acting for a few years in this short span of human lives.  In this unstable net, man always searches for tranquillity(peace) and happiness till he/she is alive; but he/she can never fulfil as per his/her desires.  It is fully known to him/her that happiness comes after sorrow and sorrow comes after happiness. It does not see whether he/she is poor or rich.  So, Sri Sri Ram Thakur again and again reminds us that man’s desire is always limited.  Everybody is born in this earth taking his/her fate/destiny.  Nobody can acquire extra quality of his fate/destiny despite his/her best efforts.

“Nirmal Aakashe surya Chandra nakshatra Amabasya din jaha dekha jay, sai Aakashkai tohara jatna karitechhe.”  Sri Sri Thakur here says that whatever is visible during dark moon day i.e. Surya, moon stars etc in the clear sky is being taken care by them only.  “Tad anugata haiya ai prakar brittigulike maner sange nirmal aakash chintay jatna karite hoy.”  This means that everybody is to be careful of the clear sky keeping to be loyal with the clear sky by virtue of mind setting up of those types of vocation.  “Ai nirmal aakashke jata ghanistha kariya sai aakasher chandradir nyay nij sharire abasthan karaite para jay tatai sadhyasadhan paoya jay.”   This means that whatever relations of his/her own body’s situation is to be aimed at entering to the deepest part of the clear sky like moon etc of that sky is to be gained success/harvest of the severe exercises (sadhyasadhan) .  “Kono aasha bharasar dike jatna karite nai.”  This means that one should not take care of any hope/desire. ”Lav loksan hauk nah hauk jeman kariya samsare ‘prarabdha’ bhog hoy se samasta kebal sahya kariya gele pare samsarer chesta sakal aapanie chaliya jaibe.” This means that enjoying pre-destine(prarabdha) bhog is inevitable and it may be gain or loss in this worldly affairs to every human being.  However, all these things of efforts after tolerance only, will automatically exhaust from this human worldly affairs.  “Bhagwat chakra uday karibe kona darkar thakibena.”  This means that the wheel of enlightenment/God will rise.  Nothing is required in that stage.  “Kamana basana sakali prarabdher danda.” Hope and desire are punishment of pre-destine(prarabdha).  “Sarbada nirmal aakashe Chandra suryadir nyay monke lagaiya rakhite chesta karite hoy.”  This means that one must have to stick efforts of one’s mind to the clear sky like moon, sun etc.  “Ihate jaha hauk aar nah hauk se dike lakshya rakhite nai.”  This means that nothing aim towards hopes/desires is required whatever it may occur.  From the above content, Sri Sri Thakaur clearly indicates that one should take care of the sky i.e. the “Truth/paramatma”.  Except this, there is nothing in this worldly affairs because realisation of the “Truth/Paramatma” is the main aim of the human being.  That’s why Sri Sri Thakur emphasises for “Holy Srinam” which has been implied by “Srigurujee”.  One should recite this “Holy Srinam” ceaselessly continuously always at any stage.  By virtue of this ceaseless recitation of this “Holy Srinam”, ‘Kulakundali Shakti’ will rise automatically, however, subject to greatest respect to Sri Sri Thakur and blind faith to Him.  This is the most valuable advice.

“Sharirer prarabdha rin parishodh je parjyanta na kara jay sai paryanta bhogadir prati kono hat nai. Jakhan jaha upasthit haibe taha bhog karite haibe”. Sri Sri Ram Thakur here says that there is no way/hand until getting rid of debt of fate/predestine of body.  Whatever suffering will be present will have to enjoy/suffer by oneself.  How is to get rid of debt of body? The only way is to recite “Holy Srinam” always continuously and ceaselessly at any stage implied by “Srigurujee”.  Thus, gradually, all desires and debt will automatically be abolished.  However, nothing is possible without “Sriguru Kripa”.  It may be possible with blind and strong belief to “Srigurujee” with great honest determination.

“Karmakshetrer upasthit Karma sakal prarabdha jaha dey tahate birakta santosh na haiya, karma kariya jaite hoy.  Pichhane Guru sarbadai raksha kariya uddhar kariya laiben.  Jib abasthay jiber kono karma ichhar dwara sadhita hoyna. Jaha ichhar matan karma kariya phalbhog karite dekha jay tahao prarabdher pradattai haiya thake.  Jadi taha na haibe tabe kono kono karma ichha kariya karite giya shakti paina keno?Jakhan je abasthay Guru rakhen sei abasthayai tripta haite chesta karite hoy.  Kono chinta nai, Guru sakal abhab haite niskantake uddhar sadhan kariben ai Gurur swabhab.” Sri Sri Ram Thakur here says that one has to perform duties in the work places whatever works are vested to him/her presently.  He/she should not be annoyed/satisfied for pre-destiny/ fate (Prarabdha) for the given works.  Every body must believe strongly that “Srigurujee” will always protect despite any obstacle and will save us from danger.  It should be remembered that nothing can be performed from ourselves without God in our human stage.  Whatever is enjoyed according to our own wills is obtained from pre-destiny/fate (prarabdha).  This means that whatever is enjoyed/suffered is stipulated/fixed always by virtue of birth.  One can never enjoy/suffer more or less whatever is stipulated in his/her fate by birth.  If it would not happen, as to why a person does not get strength to do some works willingly from his/her own.  So, we should believe that we should be satisfied at any stage whatever “Srigurujee” is protecting always behind us.  There is no anxiety because “Srigurujee” will always save us from all types of wants/obstacles/thorns.  This is the Own Nature of “Srigurujee”.  For this, we should keep strong and blind belief to “Srigujrujee”.
