A winning horse doesn’t know why it runs the race. It runs because of beats & pains.
Life is a race; God is your rider. So if you are in pain then think, god wants you to win

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Winners see the potential; Losers see the difficulties.
Winners see the gain; Losers see the pain.
Winner is always part of the answer; Loser is always part of the problem.
Winners see the gain; Losers see the pain.

Tribute to Sri Sathya Sai Baba - 85th Birthday
Why fear, when Sai is here ?! Even if something goes wrong somewhere, our Sai will certainly take care !!
A HUMBLE AND GRATEFUL TRIBUTE TO ‘BHARAT BHAGYA VIDHATA’
Man’s extremity works as God’s opportunity!!
“I have come to reunite entire mankind by raising human-consciousness to the glorious heights of divine consciousness. I have come to re-vitalize entire human kind to rise above pitfalls of selfishness of petty thoughts of i-ness and my-ness to one-ness and sai-ness.
This is a great chance ! Be confident that you will all be liberated ! Many hesitate to believe that things will improve, that life once again will be full of joy & happiness for all. Let me assure you that this dharmaswarupa, this divine body, has not come in vain. It will succeed in averting the crises that has come upon humanity!
My name is ‘Satya’ - ‘The Truth’ ! I uphold Truth, I live in Truth ! I AM THE ULTIMATE TRUTH !!
My Glory, My Truth, My Love is Eternal, Absolute and Unconditional !!”
MY DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF OUR MOST BELOVED BHARAT:
God does ‘manifest’ Himself as ‘man amongst men’! He does intervene in human affairs to bring peace, order & harmony, by raising human consciousness to the heights of its own, intrinsic Divinity !
The entire creation is manifestation of ‘universal cosmic energy’. At the centre of this energy is the ‘source’ of all the creation from which flows HIS grace, His love, His compassion, His protection.
It is this energy that is blessed & has power to bless, to redeem, to liberate. It is the energy of human emancipation which takes the mind from the limitations of the ‘knowable’ to the realm of the ‘unknown ’ and the ‘unknowable.
This sacred energy manifests itself completely & unreservedly through medium of ‘visible’ form of Truth, Goodness, Beauty.
And when it does manifest itself, people recognize it by the unspeakable ‘peace & purity’ surrounding it and they flock towards this manifestation with deep reverence with searching eyes to get their inner most thirst to be fulfilled.
One has to liberate oneself from the ‘visible’ to enter the realm of ‘invisible’ i.e. from the ‘seen’ to the ‘unseen’ or can we say, from the ‘scene’ to the ‘screen’ !
The flow of this energy is the reason for this life, the ‘source’ of this energy is the ‘cause’ of our life.
Their very being radiates that love. They don’t preach. They only shine. Love, Wisdom, Knowledge emanates from them.
They never say what is good or bad, they only ‘emit’ a fragrance of His Presence in & around them.
They exemplify beauty which is pure & non perishable. They do not ‘pigeon-hole’ the truth, instead they live the truth & liberate it for the entire humanity, like sun & moon, wind & rain.
People go there not through discipline or fear. They go there to receive ‘peace & purity’ that enriches their hungry hearts & starving minds with purest form of love & joy culminating in inexplicable bliss & happiness that can come only from the most sacred feeling of ‘oneness-of-entire creation.’
For them, each day is new & unseen, as if, it has been gifted to them to design, to create, to celebrate the ‘oneness’ of His creation so that there is no ‘impediment’ to flow of His Grace upon them. Love becomes the only nourishment for them to live, for life to exist!
And while they are blessed to remain in the proximity of that ‘source’ in their hearts, they too begin to radiate that aura !!
They become mentally detached from worldly desires & accompanying anxieties & fears.
This proximity of hearts & minds gets the grace flow freely from the source & it can & it does change the destiny of the recipient & makes the unexpected & the impossible happen.
The best & simplest & the easiest way to receive this ‘grace’ is in a state of unconditional & absolute joyful surrender & faithful submission to ‘Supreme Will of God’ under every situation.
MY DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF OUR MOST BELOVED MOTHER BHARAT:
Today the entire world is celebrating, with joy and happiness, birth of ‘the one’ who is never born and ‘the one’ who decided to be many and ‘the one’ who is beyond time and space.
He is ‘the one and only one’ the very ‘Embodiment Of Ultimate Truth’ The ‘Satya’ of ‘Sai Baba’ , Sri Satya Sai Baba !!
And ‘The Truth’ is that He alone is the ‘Divine Director’ of this ‘Cosmic Play’. The direction, the dialogues; the story & script are His! He decides the entry & exit, color & the costumes, He provides everything to everybody; according to demands of scene, sequence & situation. And He is in complete control of entire situation.
He is love ! He can be contacted & connected only through love.
Therefore let us love our country, our people selflessly and pray to Him to guide us with love & truth with wisdom with courage with confidence,
with kindness with compassion to take appropriate action for good of all! In the name of ‘One God of All!
The ‘collective human consciousness’ supported by ‘universal prayer’ emanating from ‘selfless hearts & fearless minds’ can ‘compel’ ‘supreme cosmic consciousness’ to ‘change’ even ‘human destiny’ from inevitable ‘doom, disaster & destruction’ to ‘peace, progress & prosperity’ for all of us & even for our coming generations !!
“You may make thousands of political parties, and a million social & education institutions; they will be of no use;unless there is that sympathy, that love, that mind, that heart which thinks for all, beats for all ! We have to build such hearts, cultivate such minds, upon which the society & the nation can safely be build upon!”
But God wants man to perform and perform with love and remember power of love is power of God. Ways of Love are ways of God always.
Therefore, let love perform, because love alone can perform, love alone can reform, love alone can transform. Love is only power, love is only way , always.
“The problem is you, the solution is you. The problem is you, the body self, the mind self, the ego self, the ignorant self ! The solution is YOU, the Real Self, the divine self, higher self, nobler self, the master Self. Just awaken your God power.
To solve any problem, you must know the ‘soul’ of the problem! Dead information can never solve the problems of soulful & loveful life!
You must be able to connect your heart to the heart of the people through love – selfless love, then the ‘solution’ will ‘emerge’ from the ‘soul’ of the people themselves & your ‘soul’ will immediately ‘catch’ it
if it is connected to the ‘universal soul’!
Only ‘universal soul’ can solve ‘universal problems’!
Therefore seek His guidance, His directions. Let Him decide – allow Him to do through you !
What you cannot decide you cannot do!!
You do your best – allow Him to do the rest!! Wait on Him to work on you. He will guide – He will decide – and then you go and do!! Just be ready to do what he directs you to do !
Love is the only nourishment for life to live & for truth to exist! Love and continue to love till all is well & be sure, all shall be well!
Therefore love your country, your people selflessly & pray to Him to guide you with love & truth with wisdom with courage with confidence, with kindness with compassion to take appropriate action for good of all! In the name of one God of all!
How to bring about ‘Governance of the good, by the good, for the good of all ’ in this country Bharat ?!!
To solve any problem, any situation, you only need ‘to be’ more i.e. ‘to be radiating & manifesting’ more & more of your own ‘divine nature’ of ‘love & truth’ in your every thought, word, action & reaction as well !
Therefore it is not enough, not even necessary to ‘know more’ , but all that you need is ‘to be’ more! A Buddha, a Christ, may not know more than you but He is always more than you. Therefore ‘only those’ who “are more” can govern & guide, not the ones who only know more ! Love is the only power, the only way. There is no other way, no way!!
What is achieved by ‘Cosmic-Mind’ can also be achieved by ‘human mind’! We only need to ‘enlighten & elevate & connect’ our ‘human mind’ to ‘Cosmic-Mind’!! And change our ‘Dog Mind’ attitude to ‘ God Mind’ attitude !!
The ‘Power Of selfless universal Love’ alone can bring ‘Light of Self Awareness’! This alone can instantly transform our ‘Dog Mind’ attitude to ‘ God Mind’ attitude !! A ‘God mind’ is able to function as true human being, selflessly, fearlessly, usefully, joyfully, peacefully & even successfully , progressively & practically !
A truly noble and wise person of enlightened intelligence does not undertake any action for his/her personal gain, but, proactively participates in every act with constant integrated awareness of ONE residing and operating through all, only in common and collective interest and gain for all, in attitude of selfless service with fearless love and joy as an offering to the Creator and to the Mother Creation.
He/She may OR may not have any degrees or certificates or qualifications to attach to their resume; but they ought to have basic human values of ‘head, heart & hands’ i.e. ‘humility, honesty & hard work’ in their conduct & composition & these should be remarkably visible in their personality and character. In short , they should at least be sincere & serious ‘practitioners’ of basic human values in their day to day conduct & behavior both in their private, as well as , public life.
Only such persons deserve to be called true Best Of Bharat For The Rest Of Bharat. He is, what we call an Enlightened & Awakened, REAL-CAN person ! He is Reliable, Eligible, Admirable, Lovable, Capable, Able & Noble person !
Therefore unless we have a ‘team of ‘REAL-CAN’ workers who are willing to lead us & represent us on the path of non-violence with power of love & light of wisdom, the humanity is bound to sink into turmoil & anarchy.
Hence, the people – as voters – as leaders – have to first cultivate & nurture such ‘REAL-CAN’ persons with HEAD of Adi Shankara (wisdom) heart of Buddha (compassion) & hands of Janaka (action in inaction).
We must pray collectively to GOD Power to enable us find the right kind of persons & provide them with right kind of motivation to take the state institutions in right direction & run them honestly, fairly & firmly.
The people, must be ‘awakened’ ‘inspired’ & ‘motivated’ to seek, to honor, to select, to elect only such people who would lead us by example as role-models from front!
Otherwise the very foundation of democracy & our constitution itself shall be shaken & shattered by the folly of the people who blindly follow the divisive & destructive policies of our disgraceful & deceptive politicians and so called leaders who are only ‘dealers’ surrounded & supported by brokers & blackmailers.
The elite & the enlightened intellectual & scholar must rise above their selfish & self-interest and think plan & act in larger national & social interest to bring about sense of belonging to the nation amongst its masses by creating self-awareness & self-esteem in national psyche! And this has to be done urgently, spontaneously, as on SOS mission!!
Our motto of “Satyameva jayate” would become ‘alive’ if only we could have a group of REAL- CAN persons at the highest levels of our governance, invested with supreme authority to give final directions on every national issue. This is what I would call, ‘The Miracle of Collective Cosmic Consciousness’ !
Hence, to bring about ‘Governance of the good, by the good, for the good of all’ in our country we must first of all must develop a very ‘strong and honest sense of belonging and selfless love towards our nation and learn to acknowledge & accept with respect the irrevocable & absolute rights of ownership & directorship of GOD over His entire creation. And accept our assigned role-play as decided & directed by Him for all of us with utmost humility & absolute sense of responsibility.
And, with our minds illumined by enlightened intelligence & awakened with awareness, we must invoke His constant & conscious presence & protection in & around us with living faith in His unfailing divine justice & rule of law with under current of love & respect for all.
We must show accountability & transparency towards His people whom we have been destined to serve – not to rule – in His name, as guided & prompted by Him.
This is true art of loving. This is true art of living.
Alone you can do nothing, with power of love you can do anything and everything. There are thousands and thousands of ‘CAN’ person in Bharat because every person is potentially as divine as God. Just learn the art of "tapping" your own divinity, divinity of others.
One flower cannot make a Garland, but one ‘God-thread’ with ‘God-strength’ can hold all ‘God-flowers’ in a Garland, and make our ‘Mother-land’ a ‘God-land’ ! Let all variety of flowers with variety of colors and fragrance join together with common thread of mutual love & respect to make our ‘Motherland’ a beautiful Garland, a Gold-land of plenty & prosperity; a truly ‘Joyful & Blissful’ GOD-LAND! AMEN….!!

If wealth is the secret to happiness, then the rich should be dancing on the street, But only poor kids do that.
If power ensures security, then politicians should walk unguarded. But those who live simply sleep soundly.
If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriages.
Live simply. Think purely. Act humbly. Love genuinely and Most importantly, Enjoy the present

“ The best way to shape the future of our nation is to nurture its children…!! Nurture their spirits to be, their hearts to love, their minds to discover, their hands to help and their skills to serve…!!”
My dear brothers and sisters of our most beloved mother Bharat:
Is it not a matter of commonsense that without proper understanding of the fundamental truth of human life and the true value and purpose of its existence, all our efforts to train and educate our youth and all our plans and projects to put our country on the path of peace, progress and prosperity are as foolish and futile as watering the leaves and the flowers even while ignoring to water the roots and expecting the plant grow into a huge fruitful tree ?!!
Whatever else we all may or may not claim to be, but there can be no denying of the fact that we all are born humans. As gold without golden values is unthinkable so also, a human without human values is unacceptable.
And who amongst us does not need to enhance & add to our own worth & value to our own human life, thereby enhancing & adding value to our private life, our professional life & our public life as well ?!
None of us can afford to be so ignorant or arrogant so as to claim absolute perfection in our human conduct & character. We all need to brush-up & freshen-up our own value system in every sphere of our lives, regularly & religiously to avoid creating any ‘guilt or inferiority complex’ in our minds.
We all aspire to be good, to do good in our lives, because it is our inherent nature to be good & to do good, because, we all are basically good, born good.
Even today, in this age of lowest manifestation of basic human & moral values every employer, every partner, every teacher seeks highest degree of loyalty, morality & integrity from his or her employee, partner, relation or follower. Everyone wants values, ethics to be practiced by all others, except themselves.
“OUR ONLY RIGHT IS TO DO RIGHT”
An association of CAN (Capable, Able & Noble) citizens of Bharat having persons of highest degree of personal character, capability & credibility in their respective fields of action, under the benevolent leadership of ‘the real’ “Best Of Bharat For The Rest Of Bharat”, very humbly announce launching of their most unique & prestigious ‘business venture’ , supported & promoted by multi-million business as their ‘social responsibility’ to invoke, inspire, nurture & promote ‘universal human values’ from ‘Goodness to godliness to happiness’ pro-actively & professionally , amongst all sections of society through inter-personal inspirational counseling & motivation, using all modern tools of audio- video communications from door to door, amongst all citizens of Bharat who need to ‘ activate & enhance’ their personal & professional worth by learning to live with ‘honor and happiness’ by radiating their true human traits of goodness and godliness in their day to day conduct, naturally & spontaneously.
The ‘aspiring & inspiring’ candidates may OR may not have any degrees or certificates or qualifications to attach to their resume; but they ought to have basic human values of ‘head, heart & hands’ i.e. ‘humility, honesty & hard work’ in their conduct & composition & these should be remarkably visible in their personality and character.
In short , they should at least be sincere & serious ‘practitioners’ of basic human values in their day to day conduct & behavior both in their private, as well as , public life. That shall be the most important criteria to be considered for eligibility of the prospective candidates.
HE DECIDES, HE PROVIDES ! HE DIRECTS, HE PROTECTS !!
“Money is God, misuse of money is an evil.” Money as means of self indulgence & power is always blind like any other power, and therefore it never comes alone. Because, being blind, it is always accompanied by its eternal companion called misery. But, when it is earned & utilized for the good of all , it is always taken care of sufficiently, even abundantly and then it works wonders as gift & grace of God for one & all !
Dear brothers, this ‘unique and universal’ proposal of promoting ‘goodness and godliness’, pro-actively and professionally, to bring ‘joy and happiness’ amongst all, is surely going to be the most exciting and challenging, most thrilling and most self satisfying venture.
We are getting unbelievable encouraging response from all the sides and it is bound to be a ‘historic success’ for all our prospective ‘can’ workers and directors as blessed co-sharers of this ‘gift and grace of god’ in terms of earning ‘good name, good fame’ good money’ and even ‘good social recognition’ by one and all. Stalwarts from all walks of life have committed themselves wholeheartedly to actively support and participate in this unique & universal ‘man making mission’ to promote goodness & godliness for the good of all.
One flower can’t make a garland. But together we all can and we all shall make it happen. We only need to bring all good persons together on one common platform and move forward in action. Even a person of Dr: Manmohan Singhji’s character & caliber cannot deliver his commitments to the nation if he is not pro-actively and selflessly supported by like- minded persons as his co-workers and co-sharers of his commitments and his vision.
“ONLY THOSE WHOM GOD CHOOSES CAN CHOOSE GOD”
And, who knows, may be God has decided to choose you or any one through you to participate in this ‘unique and universal’ mission of promoting His gift of ‘golden human values’ of ‘goodness and godliness’ to spread ‘selflessness, joy and happiness’ amongst all.
And, has He not assured again and again that, “If you take one step towards Me, I shall take a hundreds towards you ?! The one small ‘baby step’ that we all can easily & safely take to attract His Grace upon us is to just ‘click’ this e-mail as ‘Gift and Grace of God’ to all e-mail IDs stored in our cells or computers, to actually show our active support and appreciation with minimum participation in this ‘man making , un-making and re-making mission of God’. That’s all !!
My dear brothers and sisters of my most beloved mother Bharat: Can we not ‘decide to live’ only to love all,
serve all, accept all, respect all,
selflessly and fearlessly, happily and joyfully,
for good of our country and for good of all;
Knowing that ‘all are One and One is all’.
If we decide to think, speak and act from His point of view, He will bless us with His vision, His wisdom, His blissfulness, His awareness of All as One and One as All !! The problem is ‘I and You’. The solution is ‘I am All’. That’s ALL!!
MY DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF OUR MOST BELOVED MOTHER BHARAT:
Alone, we are nothing and we can do nothing;
With God, we become everything and we can do anything !!
Instead of waiting for God to come on our side & keep doing nothing,
Let us strive to be on His side and,
be qualified to do anything and everything!!
God is ready to give, are we ready to take?!
Not yet, not yet, not yet !!
That is why HE often says, “Wait, Wait, Wait…!!”
But can we really afford to wait?! Are we not already very late??!!
Come along, brothers & sisters of our most beloved mother Bharat,
Move On, to be movers and shakers of society,
with your love for God in you;
Win On, to be un-makers & re-makers of human destiny,
with HIS ever flowing and over flowing love for you!
God is not someone sitting far away; He is always in & around you!!
Proceed with ‘love for all’ in you, Succeed with ‘love of all’ for you!
GLORY TO GOD & HIS ETERNAL & UNIVERSAL HUMAN VALUES!
BLESS US GOD, WITH YOUR GIFT OF GOLDEN FUNDAMENTAL VALUES!
FROM GOODNESS TO GODLINESS TO HAPPINESS
The great king Ashoka, one of the world’s earliest known ‘enlightened rulers’ followed the brilliant treatise on political economy & statecrafts of Kautilya, the inspired writer of the brilliant ‘Arthashastra’ & advisor to King Chandragupta. He integrated ‘universal fundamental values’ in all spheres of governance & administration to achieve ‘peace & prosperity, progress & happiness’ of his subjects and to make everyone behave spontaneously in a responsible & considerate manner, without the external compulsion of ‘forced’ good behavior.
Since time immemorial, the purpose of all human endeavor has been persuasion of happiness and joy but the tragedy of all our effort is that more we pursue it, the more it deludes us! So, there has to be some ‘key’, some kind of ‘catch’ into all this which we all have not been able to find, so far!
“The more you give, the more you get”; is an irrevocable law of nature that we so often forget! We can choose to live, to give and forgive ‘gracefully’ and receive His grace abundantly & gratefully; OR, we can choose to live miserly & ungratefully & and leave this world and its wealth disgracefully & miserably.
But, the real ‘catch’ is that you can not give what you do not have !! Hence, we first need to ‘be happy’ to make others happy to make our God happy with us.
“It is strange but true that when we give our food to a needy person & go hungry, we actually feel stronger, healthier & happier!”
We all can experience the happiness & the strength of joyful giving, selfless serving & fearless forgiving.
The truth is that we are not human beings having spiritual experiences but we are spiritual beings having human experiences. The truth is that we are not ‘the body’ having some soul inside us but we are ‘the soul’ having this body- mind- ego complex as our instruments to live this life as directed and decided by our own highest self, our own best and the noblest Self ; our own real I-SELF - THE GOD-SELF !!
What belongs to us, can not ‘be us’. We say, “my body, my mind, my intelligence?” Then, who am I ?! The answer is, ‘I AM I !!
Today, in a ‘flat’ world where everyone has access to anything and everything, once again ‘VALUES’ matter more than ever; the very same ‘universal fundamental values’ that King Ashoka integrated in all spheres of public life.
You & I may have all the ‘resources & qualifications’ in exactly equal proportion in terms of finance, knowledge, man power, latest technologies with expertise to ‘perform’; yet our long term success & survival shall largely be decided by ‘differences’ in our personal ‘ qualities’ of courage & compassion, character and credibility, our confidence and commonsense, our loyalty & integrity, our truthfulness & righteousness, our humility & honesty, our dedication and discipline, our self contentment , our eagerness to share & care & our enthusiasm to serve & to sacrifice, in short, the integration & internalization of ‘universal & fundamental human qualities & values’ in our day to day conduct.
Gandhiji had said, “Be the change that you want to bring about in the world & let your life become the message of your God, by practicing and promoting universal human values, courageously and spontaneously, by your conduct.
Recently, I was delighted to read a news article in TOI dated 2 October2010 , that three boys having 60% plus marks were selected for a decent job over & against other candidates having more than 70% marks with them. And when asked the reason for this strange way of recruitment, the HR officer of the company said that the three boys were carrying an additional certificate stating that they had successfully undergone a ‘crash course’ programme for 3 months on serious studies of ‘Life & teachings of Mahatma Gandhi’ & made the company decide in their favor because the management believed that these boys could be more honest & loyal to their company !! STRANGE BUT TRUE !!
Therefore, we must move forward with confidence, courage & compassion in our selfless hearts & fearless minds to participate pro-actively and professionally as co-sharers of one of the ‘rarest of the rare’ opportunities to earn ‘good name, good fame and good money’ as ‘Gift and Grace of God’ for good of all ! That’s All!
ZINDAGI KE SAATH BHI, ZINDAGI KE BAAD BHI !!
All those most fortunate candidates who are found to be sincerely & selflessly self disciplined , dedicated & devoted & who shall be selected by our well trained team of ‘tested & trusted’ experts, shall be paid magnanimously to their fullest satisfaction & highest contentment, both in terms of a decent financial security as well as social honors & self dignity for this life & even beyond. That shall be our reciprocal commitment to all of them & we shall honor it religiously & joyfully under all circumstances for ever & ever.
OUR IMMEDIATE REQUIREMENTS :
We require 100 ‘Best Of Bharat’ ‘CAN’ workers & motivators to function as managing directors from each of the 100 developing cities across the country, to guide & motivate 100 grass root ‘BoB ’ CAN workers under each one of them. All selected appointees shall be given 3 days training to be able to undertake their respective assignments in their respective localities & shall be provided with all the tools & infrastructural facilities & all necessary support to carry out their assignments efficiently & successfully with 100% self satisfaction.

All ‘aspirants & inspirers’ from all walks of life, from every occupation or profession, from all sections of society, from every caste & every religion & every region, both working as well as retired professionals & officials, all unemployed or under employed, in short all ‘employable’ citizens who consider themselves as capable, able, noble , reliable & responsible citizens of BHARAT and, who can either ‘inspire’ OR those who aspire to be ‘The Best Of Bharat’ and who can ‘live to give’ their Best For the Rest Of Bharat can join, in fact, they must join either as part time or full time volunteers or part time or full time earning members OR even as active partners or co-share holders of this ‘unique and universal’ business venture to un-make and re-make entire human society by practicing ‘goodness as godliness’ to promote peace & happiness ‘pro-actively and professionally’ amongst all citizens of Bharat!
“THE ROLE OF MOTHERS IN INCULCATING BASIC HUMAN VALUES”
We all need to understand & accept with a sense of a great responsibility that giving birth to any other species is different from giving birth to a human being.
It is considered not only a ‘sacred’ act but also a great honor & privilege to become a mother to a human person because our Vedas have declared, “Jantunaam nara janmam durlabham.” Also Swami Vivekananda has said, “Man is the highest creation of God!”
Hence, to be blessed to become a mother of a human soul is the greatest & most sacred privilege for any woman.
Here is an irrevocable law of nature & God; “Every would- be mother has all the powers, all the options to decide & shape the destinies of her yet- to- be born children & which in turn shall decide the destiny of all the nations of the world.”
That is why in our culture ‘every mother’ is worshiped as GOD! And that is why even God longs for love & affection of the mother!
Therefore, every would- be mother should realize her unique responsibility towards her family, her God, her society & above all her own child whose destiny shall be decided by her every thought , word & action & even her feelings, attitude, her indulgence, her habits of food , recreation & personal, physical, emotional & mental health care.
In short, her ‘aahaar, vihaar, aachaar & her vichaar i.e. her food habits, her recreation habits, her behavior and conduct and her thoughts and feelings shall have direct impact on the inborn attitudes & intelligence , habits, character & even the destiny of the child to be born.
And, all these facts have been confirmed by modern psychology & medicine.
The ‘environmental factor’ in the upbringing of every child comes into play right from day one of his or her conception. Every would be mother should take utmost care to invoke and promote only positive attitude, sacred feelings and thoughts in her selfless and fearless heart with blissful, Godful and joyful mind .
“PAROPKARARTHAM IDAM SHARIRAM”
“God helps those who help themselves”. I was told its meaning as being very simple & straight; that unless we wake up & get up to realize our dreams, even God would not come forward to help us in any situation, in any manner.
Many years later, delivering an opening address to a distinguish gathering, I heard myself declare spontaneously with a strong conviction that “God helps those who help each other, God loves those who love each other & God even comes down to serve those who serve each other !!”
“Every human life is a journey from I to WE, and from WE to HE ! For a human soul that is in its first stage of evolution, it is true that god helps those who decide to wake up & get ready to help themselves, but for the souls who have qualified themselves to enter the second stage, it is ‘God helps them more’ who help each other, love each other, because, others are not really others, they all are truly our own brothers & sisters!!”
“And finally when a soul is elevated to the highest stage of human evolution, it believes & acts according to the highest truth that says , “God helps those ‘the most’ who are always eager to love all , serve all , accept & respect all, knowing very well that all are in God & God is in all & the only way to live happily & joyfully is to live for all, learn & earn for all, because all are in one, one is in all; and the ultimate & absolute ‘TRUTH’ is that All are One & One is All; That’s all!!”
When the awareness of ONENESS of creation dawns upon us, a sense of joy and happiness and fulfillment comes spontaneously from within & it automatically inspires us towards the path of selfless service & fearless sacrifice. Even a desire to hurt does not & cannot arise in such ‘happy heart & joyful mind.’ This alone can integrate the society truly & effectively with undercurrent of bond of mutual love & respect. Then alone the human mind shall realize & experience unity in diversity.
“The Divine Direction In Divine Vision”
“Every prayer emanating from pure and selfless heart
remains registered in My divine plan.”
“Wake up, Harish”, “You will do my political mission in India” Krishna commanded me in my vision on 28th Jan 2003, my 50th birthday !
I protested “But Krishna, I do not know ABC of politics ! In fact ,I hate politics, like any other common citizen.”!!
Krishna replied, “You must not hate anything, anybody, or any situation. You must ‘love’ & ‘accept’ everybody, every situation selflessly and fearlessly. You may treat them differently but you must love them equally. Because it is only in the light of selfless love that awareness and understanding take place. On the other hand your mind tends to create misunderstanding and mistrust in the darkness of hatred and fear.”
“I agree Krishna, but still, why me?” I tried to be humble.
“Why not you……?!” retorted Krishna.
“I mean, there are many more competent, more capable, more able and more noble persons amongst your devotees who are in the ‘game’ and whom you have been preparing for your mission through your sacred institutions and organizations….!”
“I don’t like to be advised. I know that I can get everything done ‘even’ through donkeys!!” clarified the lord with a mischievous smile.
“Yes my lord, I remember, this is what you told Sri Aurobindo when you appeared to him in Jail”.
“Yes”, replied the lord, “But, in this avatar I can get the things done ‘only’ through donkeys; because, donkeys do not have any ‘ hidden personal agenda’ ! I shall do My work through you, as I did through My ‘Monkey Instruments’ !!”
“I will appear to you every day and night, at every step, at every stage, to give you the solution to every political, social and economic problems being faced by this country ! I shall write through you, speak through you, work through you, with Love! I shall provide you with all the sources, with all the forces, from my infinite resources! You just Be Pure, Be Sure and Be ready !!”
The vision was so clear and the command so forceful that I became totally nervous and puzzled! Was it a dream or some prank being played by my Lord !!
Krishna looked at me with the compassion of an understanding father and said, " I am serious! You are going to do my political mission in India and set an example of vibrant , working and a viable form of democratic ‘Governance of God’ by reliable, eligible, capable, able, noble and true representatives of the people of this sacred Karma Bhoomi, Yoga Bhoomi, Tyag Bhoomi of Bharat.”
“It will be ‘The First and the Best’ of its kind ! It will usher a totally new concept of a democratic form of ‘Governance by the good, for the good, of the good’. This is My Sankalpa! MY WILL !! Any Problems?!"
With doubts still raging in my mind I said: “I have no experience, no expertise, no background, no recognition, no personal achievement in any field and above all no ‘God father’ to push me or promote me!”
Krishna replied, “ You have ‘God as your father’ to promote you, protect you and provide you with everything that anyone may need to fulfill My Command because it is My Nature to provide all the resources and requirements to a person whom I command to do My will, My Work! Any further doubts ?!!”
I really did not know how to come out of the situation?
The merciful lord understood my predicament and said, "You remember, I made you a Doctor in one month even when you did not even know the spelling of Homeopathy, and you literally used to hate the very smell of medicines?!”
“I just told your son that your father is a doctor and the next day I came near you and confirmed my command , “You are a doctor, you will become doctor to doctors” and what happened?”
“In one month you started practicing Homeopathy and became doctor to all Doctors who came to see Me at Puttaparthi. Have you forgotten that?”
“And what do you think? Can I ever forget your selfless prayers from the depth of your heart, when you used to pray to me from Bhivandi and Karjat remand Homes and Badlapur Blind School and Government Hospitals and Home of the aged and destitute and physically challenged children during your everyday regular seva visits to these institutions 20 years ago?”
“Every prayer emanating from pure and selfless heart
remains registered in My divine plan.
Yad Bhaavam Tad Bhavati.”
I have chosen you for this job, because you prayed sincerely and selflessly for the poor, the needy. There is no greater qualification required than a compassionate heart and a courageous mind, with love full heart and a joyful mind to think divine, talk divine and act divine!”
“I have been preparing you and working on you, in response to your own prayers, to make you my instrument ‘true and pure, pure and sure. !”
“And to carry out My mission, to make you occupy the most ‘Sacred Seat’ Of ‘Power and Governance’ And, to be able to bring joy and happiness to millions of people all over the country and set the best example of Governance ‘Of The Good, By The Good, For The Good’ with the ‘power of Love’ emanating from your selfless heart and fearless mind ! A Truly God-Mind !!”
Oh My God! Our Lord listens and reacts to every small prayer emanating from our heart and He has been working on me so tirelessly, so silently and so patiently for the past 36 years !!
When I got up in the morning I recollected the entire dream sequence and wondered if it was another ‘wonderful way’ of our lord to convey his divine command, as he had done exactly 10 years ago, when His one word, His one command was enough to convert a qualified civil engineer to a practicing Homoeopath in 30 days and make him a Doctor to Doctors.
So I decided to confirm this very unusual and unnatural command of my Krishna from my Sai Krishna. It was my birthday. Swami was at Brindavan. I prayed for His clear indication and clear command.
I waited with a ‘Loving Letter’ praying for His birthday blessings. And he came near me. I stood on my knees and whispered “Swami you want me to do….. ?!
Even before I could complete the sentence Swami took my letter with love and said in a commanding voice, “Yes, Yes, Yes” and walked away !!
I could just touch His lovely lotus feet and I started wondering and imagining the ‘impact’ of His ‘yes, yes, yes’ which contains an infinite power of His most sacred and sweetest divine name ‘SSS’!
Dear Readers, To be very honest, at that point of time, I did not know anything about politics or politicians. As a ‘pro-active’ member of SSS seva organizations, I used to pray to Swami to grant me some kind of ‘power’ to be able to provide basic human facilities and human treatment to all destitute children and old people and handicapped persons during my everyday visits to all government run institutions in the entire district of Thane, Maharashtra.
But I had never sought to be in the center of political power. It was beyond my comprehension because I always thought and believed God’s work and political work were poles apart! God’s work is based on the ‘Power of Love’ and any political work is motivated by the ‘Love for Power’ !
Moreover, right from the young age of 21 my life had been ‘saturated’ with Swami ,only Swami. I just can’t miss Him in anything or any situation of my life.
And I am aware that Swami never speaks about politics or politicians in his public or even private discourses, though all the big political leaders from all major political parties do come to Him for His blessings.
Even they dare not claim any special relationship or special blessings to do this or that on His behalf. So who am I? On a human plane it was a ridiculous proposition not worth even a single moment of thought.
“Every great work has a ‘ridiculous’ beginning;
but all God’s work has a ‘miraculous’ beginning’ !”
And who can dare question Divine Decision ! Has he not declared that His favorite pass time is to make a King out of a pauper and a pauper out of a King?
It is His game, His Play…. We all are His chosen performers. He decides, He directs. We are only to follow his command and perform our assigned role-play.
This Divine command got conceived in the womb of my mind in Jan 2003 and the fruit was delivered in the 9th month of September 2003 when Swami permitted me to go to Delhi, for the first time in my life, to go and meet Madam Sonia Gandhi, apparently for solving some problem that I was facing from my partners, who have very powerful political contacts in Maharashtra.
Normally, no person would even dare to imagine to go and meet Madam Sonia Gandhi over an insignificant small personal issue that too without any recommendations or without any letter of introduction.
But, everything is possible, with God! And, had He not assured, “ Know that, I am always in you, around you, behind you, besides you, always and everywhere. Wherever you go, My people will receive you as My own !!”
So, I reached New Delhi ‘alone with God’ and I stayed in an Arya Samaj Gurukul Ashram as the guest of Acharya Bhoopati whom I had met only once in Ashram.
Next day morning I hired a Maruti Van and asked him to take me to Madam Sonia Gandhi’s official residence.
I approached the security guards and enquired about the procedure to be able to meet Madam. He directed me to the adjacent office of AICC. There I found hundreds of aspiring candidates scrambling to get some forms from the reception counter. I managed to get to the counter and asked the receptionist about Madam.
She said, “Sir, elections are announced for Delhi, M.P. Rajasthan and Chhattisgar. All these people are here to meet P.A. to Madam. Madam cannot meet any one for the next two months.
I said , “O.K. then can I meet her P.A?”
I don’t know what happened to her. She simply threw one small printed booklet towards me and said, “ all the telephone numbers of all important leaders are here. Now kindly clear the way for others.”
I started contacting personal secretaries of Smt: Sonia Gandhi, Dr. M.M. Singh, Shivraj Patil, Ambika Soni, Ahmad Patel ,Dr: Abdul Kalam !
To everybody I gave my introduction as Dr. Sai Haresh from Puttaparthy; have come to meet for personal reasons. All of them took my local contact number and promised to call me back whenever possible. I told them I was there for only 3 days and requested them to kindly call me back.
Next I went to the official residence of the then Hon’ble P.M. Shri Vajpayeeji and sent the same message to his secretary.
And the impossible happened.
When I returned to my Ashram in the evening, I started getting one call after another from all the officials of all big leaders and within 72 hours I had met every leader at his or her residence or office.
It is purely His Grace that I could spend real quality time with them discussing national issues with such freshness of ‘Sai ideas’ and with so much of ‘Sai Confidence’ that stalwarts like Dr. M.M. Singh and P.M. Vajpayee and President Dr. Abdul Kalam told me that they felt very inspired by my vision for the nation and asked me to be in touch with them whenever I happened to come to Delhi for any purpose.
And the miracle is that I did not discuss my personal issue with anyone of them except Madam Sonia Gandhi, and that too, out of 23 minutes that I was honoured to be with her, I spoke for only 3 minutes about my personal problem. For the rest 20 minutes I was talking with her only on Swami and His Work. I must confess here that she is one of the most decent and dignified persons I have ever met in my life. She was very well informed and equally interested in all the activities of our most sacred SSS organizations. I was prompted to tell her that our Swami was preparing hundreds and thousands of Vivekanandas to serve not only India but the entire world ! She humbly acknowledged her awareness about this.
I developed an instant heart to heart and one to one relationship with Dr.Man Mohan Singh and he very graciously treated me like a co-pilgrim on the path of love and service to humanity as a true expression of our love and service to God
During my 45 minutes of enlightening interaction with Dr. M. M. Singh, I was inspired to ask three most relevant questions from him, coming from my heart spontaneously, clearly from some divine inspiration !
THE 3 ETERNAL QUESTIONS THAT I WAS MOTIVATED TO ASK DR. M.M. SINGH:
Sir, how is it that in such a vast country of one billion population with such ancient culture and values, we are not able to get 540 able, capable and noble persons elected to our parliament.
How is it that a person like Dr Manmohan Singh can never win an election in India whereas persons of different kind like …… can never loose an election.
Why is it that the scr……s are always united in their cause where as good people never agree to come united on a common platform even for a worthy cause.
Dr Manmohan Singh replied, “ Dr Sai Haresh, frankly speaking I do not have any convincing answers to these most relevant questions put forward by you. I can only say that our entire system needs a complete overhaul. Presently, we cannot even think of entertaining these thoughts being translated into reality.”
“It is certain that some higher power is motivating and inspiring you to think on these lines and I sincerely feel that the same god power shall guide you to the right answers and the right solutions to these vital questions raised by you. I would request you to keep in touch with me and spend some time with me whenever you happen to come to Delhi.”
“I feel inspired by your sincerity and selflessness of your purpose. Today when all the political class is playing only divisive and destructive politics and is motivated only by selfishness and self-interest, it is really heartening and inspiring to see a ray of light in young and enthusiastic persons like you with such spontaneous nationalistic feelings. May swamyji bless you with all the courage and wisdom to carry out His mission successfully and selflessly.”
Next day, I went to 7 race course, to meet the then PM Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayeeji . I found him to be a magnificent personality. The very first thing he enquired was, “How is Swamiji”? I said, “Sir, His glory, His power is eternal, absolute and unconditional.
He said “Yes – but physically ….?”
I said “ Sir, He is the Supreme Incarnation of perfection on every plane. He may act otherwise according to the demands of the situation and role play. He is a perfect and a great Actor!
Vajpayeeji laughed and said “ Yes. Like Krishna”.
The P.M. enquired about the purpose of my visit. I said “Sir, I have some practical suggestions to make to bring about qualitative changes in our political system. I came to seek your enlightened guidance on this issue.”
And I handed over a letter of proposal to him. After going through every word of it very diligently he looked directly into my eyes and asked, “How many years have you been doing research on this subject ?”
I said, “ Nothing Sir, yesterday I met Dr. M.M. Singh for the first time and I put three questions to him (which I repeated for him)and today morning during my early morning walk I was inspired to write down these suggestions which I thought I must share with you.”
The letter contained some ‘inspired thoughts’ as follows :How is it that we are giving away the ‘degrees’ of MLAs and MPs to all political aspirants who somehow ‘manage’ and/or ‘manipulate’ to get elected only on their verbal promises that they would do such and such acts of services, in the course of their 5 years tenure, if made MLAs or MPs .It is like giving away degrees to aspiring students on day one of their entering the institution with a solemn promise that they would study well and attend all the classes and pass the final examination after 5 years but, they be allowed to do the job and earn money alongside, in the profession or occupation, for which they have been declared eligible for enrolment and admission.
Next, even if a person comes to us for a job of a driver and produces his driving license freshly acquired from a R.T.O. Officer, do we simply give away our keys to him to drive our car with our family?
Again if we find a surgeon, who has just finished his studies and freshly got his degrees from university, do we allow him to operate upon our own relatives even though he may have been through the entire course of studies for years!
Then how can we allow a person to even contest an election who has never ever identified himself with the people of his constituency in times of their sorrows and sufferings; and has never undertaken any responsibilities that may prove his worth as an able administrator or capable organizer or noble leader!
And we declare him elected as the best among all the black sheep on the basis of the first one to cross the line getting not more than 30% of total eligible votes, the percentage sometimes going down to 20% !
When we don't promote a student of class I to class II unless he gets a clear 40% or 50% then how can we allow a person who somehow manages to get 20% or 25% of popular vote, by applying all the imaginable or unimaginable tricks of the trade, to occupy the driver's seat to run this vast country !!
Where is the choice with the people? We must undo all these wrongs being done to the masses, right from ‘selection to election’ of these undeserving, undesirable, uninspiring and unacceptable persons!
And Sir, the very idea of ‘fighting’ an election to be able to serve is self-contradicting , ridiculous and disgusting . Those who want to serve , never fight , those who fight simply don’t want to serve. The definition of service is Love in action. How can anyone even think of loving in action in the light of, or shall we say in the darkness of, what all is going on during the election and selection.
Such people serve only to dominate, to exploit, to do business . The entire system has become a farce and therefore the good and true people remain withdrawn from the entire game and that leaves the field open for ‘brokers & blackmailers’ to play their game as they wish and that is what they want.”
Mr Vajpayeeji was very much delighted and said, “Dr Sai, our country needs such enlightened citizens to take up the challenges of the future. I can assure you 100% co-operation from my Government for any concrete steps that you may suggest to bring about qualitative changes to our rotten system.”
I said, “Sir, I only need your blessings”.
He said, “I can clearly see that you are a blessed soul and you will do great service to the nation in days to come under the guidance and blessings of Bhagawan Baba. My best wishes are always with you. ”
Dear Readers, During my subsequent visits, I have been interacting with number of stalwarts from all major political parties like, Shri L. K. Advani, Shivraj Patil, Ahmad Patel, Ambica Soni, S.M. Krishna, Arun Shouri, Yashwant Sinha, Praful Patel and many present and past Hon’ble Governors, Judges, Army Officers, IAS officers, Secretaries , Commissioners and Collectors sharing my views and ideas as inspired by my Sai Krishna.
But somehow, I developed a very special ‘heart to heart’ ‘one to one’ relationship with Dr. M.M.Singhji.
As suggested by him, I always informed him of my visits to New Delhi and he has been extremely kind enough to invite me to spend ‘quality’ time with him at his official residence during all my visits so far. He even once invited me to attend the proceedings of Rajya Sabha as his guest, when he was the hon’ble leader of the opposition in Rajya Sabha.
And after he assumed the responsibilities of The Prime Minister, he very graciously found time to grant me personal audience and accept my suggestions for his dream of ‘Bharat Nirman’.
And it is his noble quality of humility and grace that he continues to interact with a ‘common citizen’ like me, both personally and through personal letters.
And it is his personality that inspired me with this thought that if only we could have 540 ‘Capable, Able & Noble’ i.e. 540 ‘CAN’ persons in the role model of Dr. M.M.Singh’s ‘caliber and character’, selected or elected as our ‘tested and trusted’ representatives in our parliaments , then the rest and the best will follow automatically, smoothly, gracefully, and successfully.
And this brought upon me the idea of praying directly to God Himself, to bless me with His Purity and His Power to become His divine instrument to bring about ‘Governance of God’ in India i.e. Governance ‘by the good’ , ‘of the good’ ‘for the good’ because goodness is godliness.
“Never doubt that one individual with ‘Purity & Power of GOD’
can ever change the world!
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has...!!”

“ The best way to shape the future of our nation is to nurture its children…!! Nurture their spirits to be, their hearts to love, their minds to discover, their hands to help and their skills to serve…!!”
My dear brothers and sisters of our most beloved mother Bharat:
Is it not a matter of commonsense that without proper understanding of the fundamental truth of human life and the true value and purpose of its existence, all our efforts to train and educate our youth and all our plans and projects to put our country on the path of peace, progress and prosperity are as foolish and futile as watering the leaves and the flowers even while ignoring to water the roots and expecting the plant grow into a huge fruitful tree ?!!
Whatever else we all may or may not claim to be, but there can be no denying of the fact that we all are born humans. As gold without golden values is unthinkable so also, a human without human values is unacceptable.
And who amongst us does not need to enhance & add to our own worth & value to our own human life, thereby enhancing & adding value to our private life, our professional life & our public life as well ?!
None of us can afford to be so ignorant or arrogant so as to claim absolute perfection in our human conduct & character. We all need to brush-up & freshen-up our own value system in every sphere of our lives, regularly & religiously to avoid creating any ‘guilt or inferiority complex’ in our minds.
We all aspire to be good, to do good in our lives, because it is our inherent nature to be good & to do good, because, we all are basically good, born good.
Even today, in this age of lowest manifestation of basic human & moral values every employer, every partner, every teacher seeks highest degree of loyalty, morality & integrity from his or her employee, partner, relation or follower. Everyone wants values, ethics to be practiced by all others, except themselves.
“OUR ONLY RIGHT IS TO DO RIGHT”
An association of CAN (Capable, Able & Noble) citizens of Bharat having persons of highest degree of personal character, capability & credibility in their respective fields of action, under the benevolent leadership of ‘the real’ “Best Of Bharat For The Rest Of Bharat”, very humbly announce launching of their most unique & prestigious ‘business venture’ , supported & promoted by multi-million business as their ‘social responsibility’ to invoke, inspire, nurture & promote ‘universal human values’ from ‘Goodness to godliness to happiness’ pro-actively & professionally , amongst all sections of society through inter-personal inspirational counseling & motivation, using all modern tools of audio- video communications from door to door, amongst all citizens of Bharat who need to ‘ activate & enhance’ their personal & professional worth by learning to live with ‘honor and happiness’ by radiating their true human traits of goodness and godliness in their day to day conduct, naturally & spontaneously.
The ‘aspiring & inspiring’ candidates may OR may not have any degrees or certificates or qualifications to attach to their resume; but they ought to have basic human values of ‘head, heart & hands’ i.e. ‘humility, honesty & hard work’ in their conduct & composition & these should be remarkably visible in their personality and character.
In short , they should at least be sincere & serious ‘practitioners’ of basic human values in their day to day conduct & behavior both in their private, as well as , public life. That shall be the most important criteria to be considered for eligibility of the prospective candidates.
HE DECIDES, HE PROVIDES ! HE DIRECTS, HE PROTECTS !!
“Money is God, misuse of money is an evil.” Money as means of self indulgence & power is always blind like any other power, and therefore it never comes alone. Because, being blind, it is always accompanied by its eternal companion called misery. But, when it is earned & utilized for the good of all , it is always taken care of sufficiently, even abundantly and then it works wonders as gift & grace of God for one & all !
Dear brothers, this ‘unique and universal’ proposal of promoting ‘goodness and godliness’, pro-actively and professionally, to bring ‘joy and happiness’ amongst all, is surely going to be the most exciting and challenging, most thrilling and most self satisfying venture.
We are getting unbelievable encouraging response from all the sides and it is bound to be a ‘historic success’ for all our prospective ‘can’ workers and directors as blessed co-sharers of this ‘gift and grace of god’ in terms of earning ‘good name, good fame’ good money’ and even ‘good social recognition’ by one and all. Stalwarts from all walks of life have committed themselves wholeheartedly to actively support and participate in this unique & universal ‘man making mission’ to promote goodness & godliness for the good of all.
One flower can’t make a garland. But together we all can and we all shall make it happen. We only need to bring all good persons together on one common platform and move forward in action. Even a person of Dr: Manmohan Singhji’s character & caliber cannot deliver his commitments to the nation if he is not pro-actively and selflessly supported by like- minded persons as his co-workers and co-sharers of his commitments and his vision.
“ONLY THOSE WHOM GOD CHOOSES CAN CHOOSE GOD”
And, who knows, may be God has decided to choose you or any one through you to participate in this ‘unique and universal’ mission of promoting His gift of ‘golden human values’ of ‘goodness and godliness’ to spread ‘selflessness, joy and happiness’ amongst all.
And, has He not assured again and again that, “If you take one step towards Me, I shall take a hundreds towards you ?! The one small ‘baby step’ that we all can easily & safely take to attract His Grace upon us is to just ‘click’ this e-mail as ‘Gift and Grace of God’ to all e-mail IDs stored in our cells or computers, to actually show our active support and appreciation with minimum participation in this ‘man making , un-making and re-making mission of God’. That’s all !!
My dear brothers and sisters of my most beloved mother Bharat: Can we not ‘decide to live’ only to love all,
serve all, accept all, respect all,
selflessly and fearlessly, happily and joyfully,
for good of our country and for good of all;
Knowing that ‘all are One and One is all’.
If we decide to think, speak and act from His point of view, He will bless us with His vision, His wisdom, His blissfulness, His awareness of All as One and One as All !! The problem is ‘I and You’. The solution is ‘I am All’. That’s ALL!!
MY DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF OUR MOST BELOVED MOTHER BHARAT:
Alone, we are nothing and we can do nothing;
With God, we become everything and we can do anything !!
Instead of waiting for God to come on our side & keep doing nothing,
Let us strive to be on His side and,
be qualified to do anything and everything!!
God is ready to give, are we ready to take?!
Not yet, not yet, not yet !!
That is why HE often says, “Wait, Wait, Wait…!!”
But can we really afford to wait?! Are we not already very late??!!
Come along, brothers & sisters of our most beloved mother Bharat,
Move On, to be movers and shakers of society,
with your love for God in you;
Win On, to be un-makers & re-makers of human destiny,
with HIS ever flowing and over flowing love for you!
God is not someone sitting far away; He is always in & around you!!
Proceed with ‘love for all’ in you, Succeed with ‘love of all’ for you!
GLORY TO GOD & HIS ETERNAL & UNIVERSAL HUMAN VALUES!
BLESS US GOD, WITH YOUR GIFT OF GOLDEN FUNDAMENTAL VALUES!
FROM GOODNESS TO GODLINESS TO HAPPINESS
The great king Ashoka, one of the world’s earliest known ‘enlightened rulers’ followed the brilliant treatise on political economy & statecrafts of Kautilya, the inspired writer of the brilliant ‘Arthashastra’ & advisor to King Chandragupta. He integrated ‘universal fundamental values’ in all spheres of governance & administration to achieve ‘peace & prosperity, progress & happiness’ of his subjects and to make everyone behave spontaneously in a responsible & considerate manner, without the external compulsion of ‘forced’ good behavior.
Since time immemorial, the purpose of all human endeavor has been persuasion of happiness and joy but the tragedy of all our effort is that more we pursue it, the more it deludes us! So, there has to be some ‘key’, some kind of ‘catch’ into all this which we all have not been able to find, so far!
“The more you give, the more you get”; is an irrevocable law of nature that we so often forget! We can choose to live, to give and forgive ‘gracefully’ and receive His grace abundantly & gratefully; OR, we can choose to live miserly & ungratefully & and leave this world and its wealth disgracefully & miserably.
But, the real ‘catch’ is that you can not give what you do not have !! Hence, we first need to ‘be happy’ to make others happy to make our God happy with us.
“It is strange but true that when we give our food to a needy person & go hungry, we actually feel stronger, healthier & happier!”
We all can experience the happiness & the strength of joyful giving, selfless serving & fearless forgiving.
The truth is that we are not human beings having spiritual experiences but we are spiritual beings having human experiences. The truth is that we are not ‘the body’ having some soul inside us but we are ‘the soul’ having this body- mind- ego complex as our instruments to live this life as directed and decided by our own highest self, our own best and the noblest Self ; our own real I-SELF - THE GOD-SELF !!
What belongs to us, can not ‘be us’. We say, “my body, my mind, my intelligence?” Then, who am I ?! The answer is, ‘I AM I !!
Today, in a ‘flat’ world where everyone has access to anything and everything, once again ‘VALUES’ matter more than ever; the very same ‘universal fundamental values’ that King Ashoka integrated in all spheres of public life.
You & I may have all the ‘resources & qualifications’ in exactly equal proportion in terms of finance, knowledge, man power, latest technologies with expertise to ‘perform’; yet our long term success & survival shall largely be decided by ‘differences’ in our personal ‘ qualities’ of courage & compassion, character and credibility, our confidence and commonsense, our loyalty & integrity, our truthfulness & righteousness, our humility & honesty, our dedication and discipline, our self contentment , our eagerness to share & care & our enthusiasm to serve & to sacrifice, in short, the integration & internalization of ‘universal & fundamental human qualities & values’ in our day to day conduct.
Gandhiji had said, “Be the change that you want to bring about in the world & let your life become the message of your God, by practicing and promoting universal human values, courageously and spontaneously, by your conduct.
Recently, I was delighted to read a news article in TOI dated 2 October2010 , that three boys having 60% plus marks were selected for a decent job over & against other candidates having more than 70% marks with them. And when asked the reason for this strange way of recruitment, the HR officer of the company said that the three boys were carrying an additional certificate stating that they had successfully undergone a ‘crash course’ programme for 3 months on serious studies of ‘Life & teachings of Mahatma Gandhi’ & made the company decide in their favor because the management believed that these boys could be more honest & loyal to their company !! STRANGE BUT TRUE !!
Therefore, we must move forward with confidence, courage & compassion in our selfless hearts & fearless minds to participate pro-actively and professionally as co-sharers of one of the ‘rarest of the rare’ opportunities to earn ‘good name, good fame and good money’ as ‘Gift and Grace of God’ for good of all ! That’s All!
ZINDAGI KE SAATH BHI, ZINDAGI KE BAAD BHI !!
All those most fortunate candidates who are found to be sincerely & selflessly self disciplined , dedicated & devoted & who shall be selected by our well trained team of ‘tested & trusted’ experts, shall be paid magnanimously to their fullest satisfaction & highest contentment, both in terms of a decent financial security as well as social honors & self dignity for this life & even beyond. That shall be our reciprocal commitment to all of them & we shall honor it religiously & joyfully under all circumstances for ever & ever.
OUR IMMEDIATE REQUIREMENTS :
We require 100 ‘Best Of Bharat’ ‘CAN’ workers & motivators to function as managing directors from each of the 100 developing cities across the country, to guide & motivate 100 grass root ‘BoB ’ CAN workers under each one of them. All selected appointees shall be given 3 days training to be able to undertake their respective assignments in their respective localities & shall be provided with all the tools & infrastructural facilities & all necessary support to carry out their assignments efficiently & successfully with 100% self satisfaction.
WHO ALL CAN JOIN “BEST OF BHARAT FOR REST OF BHARAT”
All ‘aspirants & inspirers’ from all walks of life, from every occupation or profession, from all sections of society, from every caste & every religion & every region, both working as well as retired professionals & officials, all unemployed or under employed, in short all ‘employable’ citizens who consider themselves as capable, able, noble , reliable & responsible citizens of BHARAT and, who can either ‘inspire’ OR those who aspire to be ‘The Best Of Bharat’ and who can ‘live to give’ their Best For the Rest Of Bharat can join, in fact, they must join either as part time or full time volunteers or part time or full time earning members OR even as active partners or co-share holders of this ‘unique and universal’ business venture to un-make and re-make entire human society by practicing ‘goodness as godliness’ to promote peace & happiness ‘pro-actively and professionally’ amongst all citizens of Bharat!
“THE ROLE OF MOTHERS IN INCULCATING BASIC HUMAN VALUES”
We all need to understand & accept with a sense of a great responsibility that giving birth to any other species is different from giving birth to a human being.
It is considered not only a ‘sacred’ act but also a great honor & privilege to become a mother to a human person because our Vedas have declared, “Jantunaam nara janmam durlabham.” Also Swami Vivekananda has said, “Man is the highest creation of God!”
Hence, to be blessed to become a mother of a human soul is the greatest & most sacred privilege for any woman.
Here is an irrevocable law of nature & God; “Every would- be mother has all the powers, all the options to decide & shape the destinies of her yet- to- be born children & which in turn shall decide the destiny of all the nations of the world.”
That is why in our culture ‘every mother’ is worshiped as GOD! And that is why even God longs for love & affection of the mother!
Therefore, every would- be mother should realize her unique responsibility towards her family, her God, her society & above all her own child whose destiny shall be decided by her every thought , word & action & even her feelings, attitude, her indulgence, her habits of food , recreation & personal, physical, emotional & mental health care.
In short, her ‘aahaar, vihaar, aachaar & her vichaar i.e. her food habits, her recreation habits, her behavior and conduct and her thoughts and feelings shall have direct impact on the inborn attitudes & intelligence , habits, character & even the destiny of the child to be born.
And, all these facts have been confirmed by modern psychology & medicine.
The ‘environmental factor’ in the upbringing of every child comes into play right from day one of his or her conception. Every would be mother should take utmost care to invoke and promote only positive attitude, sacred feelings and thoughts in her selfless and fearless heart with blissful, Godful and joyful mind .
“PAROPKARARTHAM IDAM SHARIRAM”
“God helps those who help themselves”. I was told its meaning as being very simple & straight; that unless we wake up & get up to realize our dreams, even God would not come forward to help us in any situation, in any manner.
Many years later, delivering an opening address to a distinguish gathering, I heard myself declare spontaneously with a strong conviction that “God helps those who help each other, God loves those who love each other & God even comes down to serve those who serve each other !!”
“Every human life is a journey from I to WE, and from WE to HE ! For a human soul that is in its first stage of evolution, it is true that god helps those who decide to wake up & get ready to help themselves, but for the souls who have qualified themselves to enter the second stage, it is ‘God helps them more’ who help each other, love each other, because, others are not really others, they all are truly our own brothers & sisters!!”
“And finally when a soul is elevated to the highest stage of human evolution, it believes & acts according to the highest truth that says , “God helps those ‘the most’ who are always eager to love all , serve all , accept & respect all, knowing very well that all are in God & God is in all & the only way to live happily & joyfully is to live for all, learn & earn for all, because all are in one, one is in all; and the ultimate & absolute ‘TRUTH’ is that All are One & One is All; That’s all!!”
When the awareness of ONENESS of creation dawns upon us, a sense of joy and happiness and fulfillment comes spontaneously from within & it automatically inspires us towards the path of selfless service & fearless sacrifice. Even a desire to hurt does not & cannot arise in such ‘happy heart & joyful mind.’ This alone can integrate the society truly & effectively with undercurrent of bond of mutual love & respect. Then alone the human mind shall realize & experience unity in diversity.
“The Divine Direction In Divine Vision”
“Every prayer emanating from pure and selfless heart
remains registered in My divine plan.”
“Wake up, Harish”, “You will do my political mission in India” Krishna commanded me in my vision on 28th Jan 2003, my 50th birthday !
I protested “But Krishna, I do not know ABC of politics ! In fact ,I hate politics, like any other common citizen.”!!
Krishna replied, “You must not hate anything, anybody, or any situation. You must ‘love’ & ‘accept’ everybody, every situation selflessly and fearlessly. You may treat them differently but you must love them equally. Because it is only in the light of selfless love that awareness and understanding take place. On the other hand your mind tends to create misunderstanding and mistrust in the darkness of hatred and fear.”
“I agree Krishna, but still, why me?” I tried to be humble.
“Why not you……?!” retorted Krishna.
“I mean, there are many more competent, more capable, more able and more noble persons amongst your devotees who are in the ‘game’ and whom you have been preparing for your mission through your sacred institutions and organizations….!”
“I don’t like to be advised. I know that I can get everything done ‘even’ through donkeys!!” clarified the lord with a mischievous smile.
“Yes my lord, I remember, this is what you told Sri Aurobindo when you appeared to him in Jail”.
“Yes”, replied the lord, “But, in this avatar I can get the things done ‘only’ through donkeys; because, donkeys do not have any ‘ hidden personal agenda’ ! I shall do My work through you, as I did through My ‘Monkey Instruments’ !!”
“I will appear to you every day and night, at every step, at every stage, to give you the solution to every political, social and economic problems being faced by this country ! I shall write through you, speak through you, work through you, with Love! I shall provide you with all the sources, with all the forces, from my infinite resources! You just Be Pure, Be Sure and Be ready !!”
The vision was so clear and the command so forceful that I became totally nervous and puzzled! Was it a dream or some prank being played by my Lord !!
Krishna looked at me with the compassion of an understanding father and said, " I am serious! You are going to do my political mission in India and set an example of vibrant , working and a viable form of democratic ‘Governance of God’ by reliable, eligible, capable, able, noble and true representatives of the people of this sacred Karma Bhoomi, Yoga Bhoomi, Tyag Bhoomi of Bharat.”
“It will be ‘The First and the Best’ of its kind ! It will usher a totally new concept of a democratic form of ‘Governance by the good, for the good, of the good’. This is My Sankalpa! MY WILL !! Any Problems?!"
With doubts still raging in my mind I said: “I have no experience, no expertise, no background, no recognition, no personal achievement in any field and above all no ‘God father’ to push me or promote me!”
Krishna replied, “ You have ‘God as your father’ to promote you, protect you and provide you with everything that anyone may need to fulfill My Command because it is My Nature to provide all the resources and requirements to a person whom I command to do My will, My Work! Any further doubts ?!!”
I really did not know how to come out of the situation?
The merciful lord understood my predicament and said, "You remember, I made you a Doctor in one month even when you did not even know the spelling of Homeopathy, and you literally used to hate the very smell of medicines?!”
“I just told your son that your father is a doctor and the next day I came near you and confirmed my command , “You are a doctor, you will become doctor to doctors” and what happened?”
“In one month you started practicing Homeopathy and became doctor to all Doctors who came to see Me at Puttaparthi. Have you forgotten that?”
“And what do you think? Can I ever forget your selfless prayers from the depth of your heart, when you used to pray to me from Bhivandi and Karjat remand Homes and Badlapur Blind School and Government Hospitals and Home of the aged and destitute and physically challenged children during your everyday regular seva visits to these institutions 20 years ago?”
“Every prayer emanating from pure and selfless heart
remains registered in My divine plan.
Yad Bhaavam Tad Bhavati.”
I have chosen you for this job, because you prayed sincerely and selflessly for the poor, the needy. There is no greater qualification required than a compassionate heart and a courageous mind, with love full heart and a joyful mind to think divine, talk divine and act divine!”
“I have been preparing you and working on you, in response to your own prayers, to make you my instrument ‘true and pure, pure and sure. !”
“And to carry out My mission, to make you occupy the most ‘Sacred Seat’ Of ‘Power and Governance’ And, to be able to bring joy and happiness to millions of people all over the country and set the best example of Governance ‘Of The Good, By The Good, For The Good’ with the ‘power of Love’ emanating from your selfless heart and fearless mind ! A Truly God-Mind !!”
Oh My God! Our Lord listens and reacts to every small prayer emanating from our heart and He has been working on me so tirelessly, so silently and so patiently for the past 36 years !!
When I got up in the morning I recollected the entire dream sequence and wondered if it was another ‘wonderful way’ of our lord to convey his divine command, as he had done exactly 10 years ago, when His one word, His one command was enough to convert a qualified civil engineer to a practicing Homoeopath in 30 days and make him a Doctor to Doctors.
So I decided to confirm this very unusual and unnatural command of my Krishna from my Sai Krishna. It was my birthday. Swami was at Brindavan. I prayed for His clear indication and clear command.
I waited with a ‘Loving Letter’ praying for His birthday blessings. And he came near me. I stood on my knees and whispered “Swami you want me to do….. ?!
Even before I could complete the sentence Swami took my letter with love and said in a commanding voice, “Yes, Yes, Yes” and walked away !!
I could just touch His lovely lotus feet and I started wondering and imagining the ‘impact’ of His ‘yes, yes, yes’ which contains an infinite power of His most sacred and sweetest divine name ‘SSS’!
Dear Readers, To be very honest, at that point of time, I did not know anything about politics or politicians. As a ‘pro-active’ member of SSS seva organizations, I used to pray to Swami to grant me some kind of ‘power’ to be able to provide basic human facilities and human treatment to all destitute children and old people and handicapped persons during my everyday visits to all government run institutions in the entire district of Thane, Maharashtra.
But I had never sought to be in the center of political power. It was beyond my comprehension because I always thought and believed God’s work and political work were poles apart! God’s work is based on the ‘Power of Love’ and any political work is motivated by the ‘Love for Power’ !
Moreover, right from the young age of 21 my life had been ‘saturated’ with Swami ,only Swami. I just can’t miss Him in anything or any situation of my life.
And I am aware that Swami never speaks about politics or politicians in his public or even private discourses, though all the big political leaders from all major political parties do come to Him for His blessings.
Even they dare not claim any special relationship or special blessings to do this or that on His behalf. So who am I? On a human plane it was a ridiculous proposition not worth even a single moment of thought.
“Every great work has a ‘ridiculous’ beginning;
but all God’s work has a ‘miraculous’ beginning’ !”
And who can dare question Divine Decision ! Has he not declared that His favorite pass time is to make a King out of a pauper and a pauper out of a King?
It is His game, His Play…. We all are His chosen performers. He decides, He directs. We are only to follow his command and perform our assigned role-play.
This Divine command got conceived in the womb of my mind in Jan 2003 and the fruit was delivered in the 9th month of September 2003 when Swami permitted me to go to Delhi, for the first time in my life, to go and meet Madam Sonia Gandhi, apparently for solving some problem that I was facing from my partners, who have very powerful political contacts in Maharashtra.
Normally, no person would even dare to imagine to go and meet Madam Sonia Gandhi over an insignificant small personal issue that too without any recommendations or without any letter of introduction.
But, everything is possible, with God! And, had He not assured, “ Know that, I am always in you, around you, behind you, besides you, always and everywhere. Wherever you go, My people will receive you as My own !!”
So, I reached New Delhi ‘alone with God’ and I stayed in an Arya Samaj Gurukul Ashram as the guest of Acharya Bhoopati whom I had met only once in Ashram.
Next day morning I hired a Maruti Van and asked him to take me to Madam Sonia Gandhi’s official residence.
I approached the security guards and enquired about the procedure to be able to meet Madam. He directed me to the adjacent office of AICC. There I found hundreds of aspiring candidates scrambling to get some forms from the reception counter. I managed to get to the counter and asked the receptionist about Madam.
She said, “Sir, elections are announced for Delhi, M.P. Rajasthan and Chhattisgar. All these people are here to meet P.A. to Madam. Madam cannot meet any one for the next two months.
I said , “O.K. then can I meet her P.A?”
I don’t know what happened to her. She simply threw one small printed booklet towards me and said, “ all the telephone numbers of all important leaders are here. Now kindly clear the way for others.”
I started contacting personal secretaries of Smt: Sonia Gandhi, Dr. M.M. Singh, Shivraj Patil, Ambika Soni, Ahmad Patel ,Dr: Abdul Kalam !
To everybody I gave my introduction as Dr. Sai Haresh from Puttaparthy; have come to meet for personal reasons. All of them took my local contact number and promised to call me back whenever possible. I told them I was there for only 3 days and requested them to kindly call me back.
Next I went to the official residence of the then Hon’ble P.M. Shri Vajpayeeji and sent the same message to his secretary.
And the impossible happened.
When I returned to my Ashram in the evening, I started getting one call after another from all the officials of all big leaders and within 72 hours I had met every leader at his or her residence or office.
It is purely His Grace that I could spend real quality time with them discussing national issues with such freshness of ‘Sai ideas’ and with so much of ‘Sai Confidence’ that stalwarts like Dr. M.M. Singh and P.M. Vajpayee and President Dr. Abdul Kalam told me that they felt very inspired by my vision for the nation and asked me to be in touch with them whenever I happened to come to Delhi for any purpose.
And the miracle is that I did not discuss my personal issue with anyone of them except Madam Sonia Gandhi, and that too, out of 23 minutes that I was honoured to be with her, I spoke for only 3 minutes about my personal problem. For the rest 20 minutes I was talking with her only on Swami and His Work. I must confess here that she is one of the most decent and dignified persons I have ever met in my life. She was very well informed and equally interested in all the activities of our most sacred SSS organizations. I was prompted to tell her that our Swami was preparing hundreds and thousands of Vivekanandas to serve not only India but the entire world ! She humbly acknowledged her awareness about this.
I developed an instant heart to heart and one to one relationship with Dr.Man Mohan Singh and he very graciously treated me like a co-pilgrim on the path of love and service to humanity as a true expression of our love and service to God
During my 45 minutes of enlightening interaction with Dr. M. M. Singh, I was inspired to ask three most relevant questions from him, coming from my heart spontaneously, clearly from some divine inspiration !
THE 3 ETERNAL QUESTIONS THAT I WAS MOTIVATED TO ASK DR. M.M. SINGH:
Sir, how is it that in such a vast country of one billion population with such ancient culture and values, we are not able to get 540 able, capable and noble persons elected to our parliament.
How is it that a person like Dr Manmohan Singh can never win an election in India whereas persons of different kind like …… can never loose an election.
Why is it that the scr……s are always united in their cause where as good people never agree to come united on a common platform even for a worthy cause.
Dr Manmohan Singh replied, “ Dr Sai Haresh, frankly speaking I do not have any convincing answers to these most relevant questions put forward by you. I can only say that our entire system needs a complete overhaul. Presently, we cannot even think of entertaining these thoughts being translated into reality.”
“It is certain that some higher power is motivating and inspiring you to think on these lines and I sincerely feel that the same god power shall guide you to the right answers and the right solutions to these vital questions raised by you. I would request you to keep in touch with me and spend some time with me whenever you happen to come to Delhi.”
“I feel inspired by your sincerity and selflessness of your purpose. Today when all the political class is playing only divisive and destructive politics and is motivated only by selfishness and self-interest, it is really heartening and inspiring to see a ray of light in young and enthusiastic persons like you with such spontaneous nationalistic feelings. May swamyji bless you with all the courage and wisdom to carry out His mission successfully and selflessly.”
Next day, I went to 7 race course, to meet the then PM Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayeeji . I found him to be a magnificent personality. The very first thing he enquired was, “How is Swamiji”? I said, “Sir, His glory, His power is eternal, absolute and unconditional.
He said “Yes – but physically ….?”
I said “ Sir, He is the Supreme Incarnation of perfection on every plane. He may act otherwise according to the demands of the situation and role play. He is a perfect and a great Actor!
Vajpayeeji laughed and said “ Yes. Like Krishna”.
The P.M. enquired about the purpose of my visit. I said “Sir, I have some practical suggestions to make to bring about qualitative changes in our political system. I came to seek your enlightened guidance on this issue.”
And I handed over a letter of proposal to him. After going through every word of it very diligently he looked directly into my eyes and asked, “How many years have you been doing research on this subject ?”
I said, “ Nothing Sir, yesterday I met Dr. M.M. Singh for the first time and I put three questions to him (which I repeated for him)and today morning during my early morning walk I was inspired to write down these suggestions which I thought I must share with you.”
The letter contained some ‘inspired thoughts’ as follows :How is it that we are giving away the ‘degrees’ of MLAs and MPs to all political aspirants who somehow ‘manage’ and/or ‘manipulate’ to get elected only on their verbal promises that they would do such and such acts of services, in the course of their 5 years tenure, if made MLAs or MPs .It is like giving away degrees to aspiring students on day one of their entering the institution with a solemn promise that they would study well and attend all the classes and pass the final examination after 5 years but, they be allowed to do the job and earn money alongside, in the profession or occupation, for which they have been declared eligible for enrolment and admission.
Next, even if a person comes to us for a job of a driver and produces his driving license freshly acquired from a R.T.O. Officer, do we simply give away our keys to him to drive our car with our family?
Again if we find a surgeon, who has just finished his studies and freshly got his degrees from university, do we allow him to operate upon our own relatives even though he may have been through the entire course of studies for years!
Then how can we allow a person to even contest an election who has never ever identified himself with the people of his constituency in times of their sorrows and sufferings; and has never undertaken any responsibilities that may prove his worth as an able administrator or capable organizer or noble leader!
And we declare him elected as the best among all the black sheep on the basis of the first one to cross the line getting not more than 30% of total eligible votes, the percentage sometimes going down to 20% !
When we don't promote a student of class I to class II unless he gets a clear 40% or 50% then how can we allow a person who somehow manages to get 20% or 25% of popular vote, by applying all the imaginable or unimaginable tricks of the trade, to occupy the driver's seat to run this vast country !!
Where is the choice with the people? We must undo all these wrongs being done to the masses, right from ‘selection to election’ of these undeserving, undesirable, uninspiring and unacceptable persons!
And Sir, the very idea of ‘fighting’ an election to be able to serve is self-contradicting , ridiculous and disgusting . Those who want to serve , never fight , those who fight simply don’t want to serve. The definition of service is Love in action. How can anyone even think of loving in action in the light of, or shall we say in the darkness of, what all is going on during the election and selection.
Such people serve only to dominate, to exploit, to do business . The entire system has become a farce and therefore the good and true people remain withdrawn from the entire game and that leaves the field open for ‘brokers & blackmailers’ to play their game as they wish and that is what they want.”
Mr Vajpayeeji was very much delighted and said, “Dr Sai, our country needs such enlightened citizens to take up the challenges of the future. I can assure you 100% co-operation from my Government for any concrete steps that you may suggest to bring about qualitative changes to our rotten system.”
I said, “Sir, I only need your blessings”.
He said, “I can clearly see that you are a blessed soul and you will do great service to the nation in days to come under the guidance and blessings of Bhagawan Baba. My best wishes are always with you. ”
Dear Readers, During my subsequent visits, I have been interacting with number of stalwarts from all major political parties like, Shri L. K. Advani, Shivraj Patil, Ahmad Patel, Ambica Soni, S.M. Krishna, Arun Shouri, Yashwant Sinha, Praful Patel and many present and past Hon’ble Governors, Judges, Army Officers, IAS officers, Secretaries , Commissioners and Collectors sharing my views and ideas as inspired by my Sai Krishna.
But somehow, I developed a very special ‘heart to heart’ ‘one to one’ relationship with Dr. M.M.Singhji.
As suggested by him, I always informed him of my visits to New Delhi and he has been extremely kind enough to invite me to spend ‘quality’ time with him at his official residence during all my visits so far. He even once invited me to attend the proceedings of Rajya Sabha as his guest, when he was the hon’ble leader of the opposition in Rajya Sabha.
And after he assumed the responsibilities of The Prime Minister, he very graciously found time to grant me personal audience and accept my suggestions for his dream of ‘Bharat Nirman’.
And it is his noble quality of humility and grace that he continues to interact with a ‘common citizen’ like me, both personally and through personal letters.
And it is his personality that inspired me with this thought that if only we could have 540 ‘Capable, Able & Noble’ i.e. 540 ‘CAN’ persons in the role model of Dr. M.M.Singh’s ‘caliber and character’, selected or elected as our ‘tested and trusted’ representatives in our parliaments , then the rest and the best will follow automatically, smoothly, gracefully, and successfully.
And this brought upon me the idea of praying directly to God Himself, to bless me with His Purity and His Power to become His divine instrument to bring about ‘Governance of God’ in India i.e. Governance ‘by the good’ , ‘of the good’ ‘for the good’ because goodness is godliness.
“Never doubt that one individual with ‘Purity & Power of GOD’
can ever change the world!
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has...!!”
DIVINE ASSUARANCES OF THE SUPREME LORD OF LORDS
I have come to rekindle the lamp of love in every human heart and illumine every human mind with the light of awareness and enlightenment.
I have come to re-educate man so that he once again treads
the path of truth, righteousness, peace and happiness.
I have come to recharge the human mind to follow the path of courage and compassion in every thought, word and action!
I have come to re-ignite human thought to ‘realize, internalize & actualize’ its own hidden potentialities, and even aspire to function as ‘god-mind’ instead of their present state of ‘dog-mind’!
Many hesitate to believe that things will improve that life will once again be full of joy & happiness for all. Let me assure you that this ‘dharmaswarupa’ this divine body, has not come in vain. It will succeed in averting all the crises that has come upon humanity!
Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity!
God is never in a hurry, but He is always on time;
Man is always in a hurry, but seldom is on time!
When God decides to act, He does it silently
but effectively & decisively!
The Only Way to bring about
‘Governance of God ’ in this country,
is to bring ‘goodness & godliness’,
in the governance of this country…!!
The vision of the form of the good
is similar to the vision of God.
The form of the good and God are to be identified !
Temporal is only the shadow of the eternal !
Human Soul is responsible & answerable,
not simply to itself,
But also to God and His Creation !!
