The only way to secure real peace is through the path of sacrifice.
From the book How Sathya Yuga is coming
Life is
sustained by the breath that enters through the nose. Without breath there is
no life. Oxygen is inhaled and carbon dioxide is expelled. This body will
become lifeless if breathing stops. I do not breathe in oxygen, I take the Adi
Prana, Moola Prana, Paramatma Prana, which is the basis for all other Pranas.
This Prana works through me as Atma Shakthi, power of the soul. This is ‘I
without i’.
Now let
us see about the skin and the sensation of touch. Touch feeling is the cause
for birth. We touch with our mind, speech and through our actions; everything
is touch feeling. I interact with many people from morning to night. All touch
while traveling on the train and by car, so many people touch, yet this does
not touch me. This state of being touched and yet not touched is ‘I without i’.
Vishwagarbha and Vasanthamayam show the state of touching without touching.
This is ‘I without i’.
When I
touch only God, I am in the ‘I without i’ state of Omnipresence, Omnipotence,
and Omniscience. I did not touch anything yet I have touched everything through
my feelings for God. I touched everything that is not connected with this body
and name. All say that only those who are connected with the body are
relatives. Their ‘i’ identifies with a particular name and form and with those
who are connected with it. They call them ‘my parents, wife, child, etc’. This
is why their touch feeling is limited only to them. All the rest are considered
strangers. I touched everything, not only those connected with the name and
form of Vasantha, but the universe, its 580 crore beings, animals, birds and
all. This is ‘I without i’.
The
call, ‘Raja, Raja, Raja,’ is arising from the depths of my self, this is ‘I
without i’. The call is continuous like breathing, it cannot be stopped. It
awakens each and every living being, calling the Lord. This call will end only
when it has shaken the pillar of consciousness in all.
This
time while in Puttaparthi, the call became very intense day and night. Swami’s
beautiful divine face made me mad and cry for Him. The call and this cry is the
‘I without i’. Swami is going to bring about the change of yuga through this ‘I
without i’. This ‘I without i’ is revealing itself through this name and form
Vasantha for this purpose.
How the ‘I’ without name and form functions
is demonstrated through this name and form called Vasantha. The functioning of
the nameless, formless, Omniscient Parabrahma through the human body is called
Prajnana. This is inner knowingness, innate wisdom, verily Brahman Himself. The
‘I without i’, dons the dress of name and form for the Prajnana to function.
How can this Prajnana be contained in a single name and form? Yet, Swami has
contained it in this name and form Vasantha effortlessly through His divine
play. If a bomb kept in a particular place explodes, it will shatter everything
around it to pieces. In the same way, when the Prajnana that is contained in
this small form explodes, it will smash the karmas of the world into dust. It
is for this reason that Swami has transferred it from this small human form
into the big body of stone, the Mukthi Stupi. Swami has changed the Prajnanam
that was cloaked in a human dress, to the dress of stone called the Stupi.
In the chapter Mehendi, Swami writes the
name, ‘Raja’ on all Prema’s fingers, saying that He was only revealing
that which is within her.
He said,
Your
unsullied Prema is reflected in the mehendi,
Your
effulgent Prema is revealed by the Stupi.
Just as
the word written in mehendi reveals what is within me, the Stupi will show how
Prema makes the Kundalini Shakthi function. The selfless existence of the self
will usher in this unique age of Truth, the Sathya Yuga.
Swami
said, “Mahalakshmi is the presiding deity of wealth and prosperity. My giving
you a coin everyday symbolizes My pledge to keep My word to you. I shall keep
honoring My words to you. I will send you back to Mukthi Nilayam, making you
very happy. Stop crying, I will do something very special for you!” It is for
this reason Swami is giving a coin every day.
When
Swami was in Brindavan, I cried continuously, calling Him to Puttaparthi. On
the 16th, I got up from my cot and a two-rupee coin fell down, dated 1999. The following
day, on the 17th Rishi found another 2-rupee coin;
this was from the year 2000!
Life
in Puttaparthi without Swami was like a barren desert. I kept crying and
calling Him to return. Swami still had not returned by the 18th and I felt
desperate and cried not being able to control my feelings. On that day too,
Rishi found a two-rupee coin on the table. It was from the year 2000. Swami
came that evening. We went and had a wonderful darshan. While in the darshan
line, Rishi found an old ring. It was dark and covered with dirt. When we
cleaned it, the ring was made of panchaloha and had seven circles on top of it;
one was red and one white. I asked Swami about it in meditation.
