There is a dawn after every night. It is the duty of the sun to remove darkness and bring the light to the world. The darkness of ignorance that covers human minds and the world itself is removed by God who is the Sun of Wisdom.
On the basis of knowledge, the darkness of the mind will be removed, light will come and goodness will fill the mind.
The only creature on earth who has conscious thought is man. But, if one thinks carefully, one can understand that man's senseless actions have created all the problems on earth. The root cause of all the trouble is the selfishness and arrogance and other bad feelings that have gathered at the bottom of the human heart over time. Wrong thought leads to wrong action, and from there, to wrong result.
Everyone wishes for good. But man slips into mistakes and wrongs from internal weakness and external pressures. It is only by awakening the light of the soul and gaining internal strength that excellence in thought, word and action can be attained. The transformation of an individual in this direction will lead to transformation of the world.
Thought - even when two people are communicating by means of physical energies, such the sound of speech, aided by visual communication through the eyes, the basis of that communication is thoughts. Their thoughts, in harmony, are the communication that is actually taking place. In the same way, I must use my thoughts if I am to communicate with the supreme father.
This is why in the GITA we are given the instructions "manmanabhav" - "focus your mind on me".
There is no difficulty for physical body. There is no penance or ritual - nothing to perform. All we must do is think, turn thoughts, mind, towards GOD. And yet this most simple of tasks proves to be the most difficult thoughts, because we don't know where to focus thoughts. We do not know how to discipline thoughts.
A focus - therefore, knowledge is needed: (i) knowledge of the self, so that I know how the soul is creating thoughts (ii) knowledge of the supreme, so that I can focus my thoughts on the Supreme Being. Once there is knowledge, and love, my thoughts will automatically move away from al other directions and will focus on the supreme.
My mind is accustomed to working constantly. If a car is running at full speed and I slam on the breaks, I will come to a halt, but I would possibly create damage in the process. In the same way, my mind is accustomed to racing and if I would try to prevent it from doing so, I will either have great difficulty or I will only be successful for a short while. The mind will again leap to another direction and I will loose control all over.
I become aware of my true identity...I the soul...I move away from the pull of the body and the physical world...
The pull of the Supreme Father is stronger than these others. I come in front of my Supreme Father...In the presence of Baba, the Incorporeal pinpoint of light...I experience the blessings of my Father, my Teacher, and my Supreme Guru Sainath..the blessings of purity...of divinity...
I am filled up with the peace from the Ocean...with the light and might that is within the Supreme...Naturally, easily I am filled with all that I desire...for I have met the Supreme Father of all souls and taken from his store... And as I go about linked with my Father Baba, I spread those vibrations of light and might into the physical world.
Man's conscience is crying out for liberation from the strong grip of vices which have weakened his desire to 'be good and do good'. Basically, all human beings want to live in peace and let others live peacefully. But due to prolonged slavery to vices which has weakened man's will power, there is an "implementation paralysis".
Hence, people are desperately seeking a helping hand, a strong support of spiritually empowered and enlightened souls who would kindle their inner flame and show them the way to regain and substain their inner strength. In this scenario there are rays of hope emerging - there are apostles of peace who are engaged in laying the foundation of a peaceful world.
OM SAI RAM Bless us.
