SUPREHE .COMMt;!'U�.

The mo.n who perforrrs So.dhano. twice· n day regulCcrly, the thought of Paro.mapurusha will certainly arise in his mind ot the time of death, his libero.tion is 0. sure suaro.ntec-therefore ·every Anand:t �hrgii will ho.veto perform Sadho.na twice a day invariably­verily is this the command of the Lord. vJi thout Yo.eno. ond'Niyo.ma, Sodho.no. is o.n impossibility; hence the Lord '·s commo.nd.is o.lso to follow Ytima and

Niyo.ma. Disobedienco to this command is nothing but to thruw oneself into the tortures of o.nimal life for crores of yeo.rs. That no one should undergo tor- . ments such.t).s this, tho.t he might be eno.bled to injoy the eterno.l blessedness under the loving shelter cif the Lord, it is the bounden duty of every Ananda Ho.rgii . to endeavour to bring ail to the path of bliss . Verily is this 0. po.rt and parcel of Sadhana to lead others o.long the po.th of righteousness.

BABA's DARSHAN

Thefollowing are transcribed by Vasudev during last December's': General Darshans,given by BABA.

December 14, 1971, Pntna (Morning )

All of our animal life is for material enjoy'1lent, but human life is fer higher pursuits. For something subtle, something higher, sOr.Jething mere elevated. There n,re certain propensities which are comnon both for mc,n 2nd ,:lnimal. But to the old ideC\ of logicie.ns, that mnn is 2 rationed

animal, it is not supported by us. We say man is not a rational :mimal. If we so.y thc,t 1:1nn is a :C'ational Duim[;ll, then mnn can also fit in the anir:)D,l category . Ibn is a l i'ling being, but r:13.n is not c.n animal. We se,y hUr.Jan life is an ideol o gic o.l flow. The ideological flow is hUlilnnity, is

hur'1nn life. V/hore there is no ideologic n1 flow it is o.n 9,nimnl ; but whatever a mun is to do • • • what is a r.Jan to do? He is to do only spiritual practice , only Sadh[mn. But f0r maintaining the body he re quires f�)od, he re quires dress, r:Jedical tre,o.tr,1ent, education, r.u:d se mnny 'things, so many worldly duties . 1r/hen engnged in worldly duties naturdly he gets deto.chcd :fror.l his spiri turd duties Ctnd thD:t is why the l·bdhuvidya snys that whenever one is to do worldly duties one is to ,::tscribe Brahmnhood, ascribe Narayannhood to tho.t worldlJ duty. So, while doing worldly duties, attending to worldly duties, he is not wasting his time ; he is doing spiritu2,1 pro_ctice becnuse spiritualisn h[;'.s been nscrib ed to thnt worlL You follow?
