| Divine Advent Day message - 10th February 2021 |


My Love and Blessings to everyone of you! Today is a very special and beautiful day! Really speaking , everyday is special in the life of a human being. However when one knows oneself , or begin one’s journey to one’s own self , and one starts the journey to learn or understand about oneself, then everything about one’s life and the joy therein changes. In the real sense when we talk about the day of our birth , we mention the date we were born with great ease. However, in the spiritual sense, your birth takes place when you begin your journey to your own self. After taking human birth, the individual has no doubts or questions and is without desires and without preparations. He has no issues to tackle but as he keeps growing , and begins to comprehend and as he develops his understanding he gets involved in all the complexities of this world. The world is like an open book before him and in the desire to unveil more and learn more , he opens different pages and keeps progressing forward. In this pursuit to know more , somewhere he gets entangled with various subjective matters of the world and forgets the real purpose of his advent –that of knowing himself. Rare are those who make efforts to know themselves. It is said that when one has made a habit , it is very difficult to get out of that habit. Habits may be good or bad. Whatever the habit , it begins to run the individual’s life. In one’s habits directed towards recognizing one’s true self , some resort to namasmaran or chanting and some others to some other methods. However if we do not depend on our habits to govern our lives, and instead run our lives by ourselves , many new vistas open up to us.

Sixteen years back I began the journey of my life - which I will not claim to have been very serious about ; rather , I wasn’t aware what was in store for me the next step. On Feb 10 th 2005 , I took the first step in this journey and made efforts to understand life. The beginning – began with meditation ; and in the world of meditation, for me- meditation meant sitting with eyes closed. For a year, I went on sitting knowing nothing of what meditation is all about. Going ahead, as I understood more about it , I delved further into it. In 2006 and from thence on till 2011, I got some understanding about meditation. I learnt a lot about spirituality and in 2011 I reached that doorstep in the journey , from where a new life begins. A beginning – so beautifu . Yes when that stage arrived , I wondered how it would be ; and as long as I thought I have to do something ,or I will do something, situations continued to become tougher and tougher. Life threw tests repeatedly trying to give a lesson – leave yourself free before the one in charge , stand free . You don’t have to exhibit your strengths or bravado before Him. Become an absolute nonentity or zero. Be like a feather that gets blown to whichever side the wind blows it to. Similar it is , in spiritual life. As long as one is carried with ‘I’ and ‘mine’ we don’t understand spirituality. When we leave the ‘I’ then we begin to see ourselves everywhere. ‘I am this’, ‘I am that’ or ‘I can do this/that’ is what we lay stress all the time. . Separated from this feeling , when the ‘I’ is gone , the whole world becomes ours.

Every year on the 10 th of Feb I give an idea of what is in store for that year. This year too , I wish to convey some important matters to you. How will 2021 unfold? Talking about the future and giving explicit predictions and giving just a hint about what lies ahead are both contradictory. Mentioning future events exactly as it would bear out is not possible for anybody. Those well aware about the exact future that would play out do not have the sanction to give it out. The gurus and satgurus give an indication of the future forebodings. What kind of indications are these? Everyone knows that I had mentioned how 2020 would pan out and similarly about previous years. About this year too, I would like to say that the coming year will play out very well. Whatever were the challenges, troubles , difficulties , calamities and diseases of the last year will not repeat themselves this year. This year will evolve in a routine manner in that on all sides the situation will be usual be it financial or any other like businesses or politics or for the whole country or for the world, and for the coming two years , everything will carry on as per routine – neither bad nor completely good. Each individual’s journey will carry on in a simple way as it has been thus far. In this very significant year of Babaji Samaj or Babaji’s life if one might say , the foundation of the Ashram will be laid and in the coming years , it is a very happy matter that everyone will come to the Ashram. In this year,we kept meeting and interacting through cell and through zoom ; we did chants . This year everyone will get Babaji and sitting opposite each other , we will chant Om Namah shivaya or any other activity and all of us will be graced with this fortune. This year will be a very good year and you need not fear any disasters, catastrophe or other troubles. Nature will remain contained in her usual way ; this year , there is likely to be more rain ; however , you don’t have to fear about anything. With the strength of your chants of Om Namah Shivay you will always always remain protected. You all know in what manner you have kept connecting with Babaji and the times that are coming are really important and significant. You will get many more opportunities to understand Babaji.

The mission of My Life is only one – to take you to yourself; when that is done , all other issues of the world are nullified. In this world , there are many things that bind you . It could be the planning of your future or it could be related to some idea for your own self or for the family; fulfilling the responsibilities of your family is your right and also your duty. Being happy yourself and keeping your family or those around you happy is as much your responsibility. I will say this to you today that sixteen years back , the path I started walking and those who have been walking with me for so many years have seen the change ; this change is not exhibited but has to be experienced. Confronting tests and challenges , the bliss that I attained , all that will be received by all of you in your lives. Perhaps such issues as who is Babaji, what is He about and why is He there etc, should not be the matter of concern for you ; because you don’t have to know Babaji ; You need to know yourself. The desire and emphasis of My Mission is only one , is to take you to recognize and meet Yourself! In a nutshell , when you close your eyes and think about Babaji – what is the first thought or word that comes to you , that alone is Babaji. What did Babaji learn about Himself? He learnt nothing about Himself. There was a feeling that something had to be known ; however , when one reaches the final destination it gets known that nothing there was –that had to be known. You are shunya or nothingness. Nothingness means what? This world begins from zero or nothingness and so does your beginning. There is a Maya or illusion wrapped around. What is this illusion? Your travel from nothingness to your thoughts constitutes Maya. When you are separated or have cast aside illusion or Maya , you become everything. Babaji can only tell you that holding Babaji’s Hand and with confidence in yourselves and having faith in whose Hand you have held , all of you have to carry on your forward journey.

In the times that are unfolding , you will see very many changes. Spirituality will even begin to lose its’ strength. Despite being spiritual people will begin to believe in imposters and hypocrites; in this world , one cannot set your faith only in sweet talk alone. The honeybee gives you nectarine honey but the same bee can sting you too. Inherent in its’ nature is the stinging quality. That is why, one cannot walk one’s life on the framework of love and simplicity. In the journey of life true love is everything –the one who understands love understands life. However if you have to understand life , you need to traverse every gamut on life’s path…be it anger or jealousy , negativities , vasanas or tendencies . Many questions crop up – people wonder and they ask how does one move forward towards the Infinite or spirituality as their negativities , lust and passion don’t allow them to progress in the journey. This is because as long as you do not meditate , the flow of energy is from top downwards. When you begin to meditate , all your energies begin to flow in the reverse direction – from below upwards. What is meditation ? Changing the art of living is meditation. Different from the mundane state of an ordinary life that you lead , is meditation ; that is - changing the direction of the flow of energy and changing its’ path . So meditation is very essential in life. The sankeertan Om Namah Shivaya that we chant or sing is a kind of power that requires no technique. You only need to connect to that one name. Why do I repeatedly exhort you to chant this one mantra and get connected with it ? It is because with this chant you are collecting all the energies within you , and a time will come when you will see for yourself the name that you kept chanting all the time, now you don’t even need to chant it! When you hear the chant Om Namah Shivay from within , you will know that the chant is echoing inside you as well. So this habit has to be inculcated in your life . This is not to be called a mission nor can it be termed as something special. It is a moment of life which had to be connected to your life and you got connected with that moment. Either that moment singled you out you or it can be said that Babaji discovered you or that you discovered Babaji. You may say it any way but the truth is that your own eternal truth searched you out. Your project is only your own self. Your pilgrimage is just to your own inner self. Whatever you are, that is the most beautiful creation of the creator. What you see , what you hear are the most beautiful creation of the creator. All that you hea , reflect , think , all that you see , hear and consume are all of them the most beautiful of God’s creation and He is God who is speaking before you , He alone is Shiva – what you are ! You too are Shiva! I am also Shiva. A day will dawn when you will say so. Now that depends on you – whether you will move forward in this journey or get exhausted and turn back. The guru will put you to test. Testing the disciples is the fabric of the guru’s life. It is a very big challenge for everyone to come out successful in these tests. When tests are thrown before you , just let go , remembering one thing – that the one who gives the test is the guru and the one who goes through them is also the guru. If you fai , drop it; if you succeed , drop that too! Drop your own self! At such a time Bhole Baba or Shiva is always with you! Bhole baba alone is talking to you and has brought such a joy in your life on which path you need to progress. Leave aside the feeling of I . You need to bring in the zero feeling.

I will be involved in no issues in your life journey - save one. That is about the self. When you will understand yourself , that day I will allow you to work in society because without paying attention to yourself , without recognizing yourself if you enter society you will work with the same qualities of the mind as before – be it jealousy , politics or any other and working with anger , jealousy , hatred or politics one can never become spiritual. Becoming spiritual does not connote being a saint. It does not translate to being a God. Being spiritual means becoming a zero. For one who feels himself a zero ,everyone and everything is a zero. As many numbers you add to it you increase your value. It is better, this day make a resolve that you will move forward in your journey. By the year 2030, many things will happen . The situation in the world will be strange and bizarre. Big plans made by people will flop or not happen - as I know it all – how the world will unfurl in the coming times. Only one name will be a protection – Om Namah Shivay! Only One Name. Only one power! The Name of Shiva! I am not saying that you cannot chant any other name. You can connect to whichever name you wish to. Nevertheless , every name has its’ power ; every name has its’ strengths; every name has its’ energy. With this name you have to move forward.

I give you all My blessings for this journey with Babaji; rather it is your journey with yourself . Who is Babaji , I am only that which you are! Who you are – is what I am! I know about myself and you need to know about yourself. That is the only difference. I, am Bholenath. So you too are Bholenath! All of you are Mine , and I belong to all of you! In this journey any of your relatives may leave you but if you have given over your responsibility to Me , this is only one relationship that will never leave you any moment because when love comes in the picture , My Love , blessings and My guidance is always with you!!!
