By Sri Sandip Dasgupta
Welcome to the Janamashtami edition of our e-magazine.
In this editorial, I would like to present our Master’s view of sin as revealed to him in His Sadhana – and as expressed by Him on March 28, 1988 in New Delhi.
Sri Sri Babathakur begins by stating that when we lose our Apon Bodh, i.e., when we lose our connection to our I-Reality, then jealousy and malice begin to dwell within us. This results in separation and change within our own Reality – and becomes the cause of our own suffering.
That is why Sri Sri Babathakur terms this as sin – the greatest crime against our own Self. According to Him, a sinner is one who goes against his own Self (which is Absolute in nature and hence does not have any duality). In such a state, the individual opposes himself; although the individual is really residing in the Absolute I-Reality itself – he has forgotten about it. Such a sinner holds on to his limited, Individual-I in life and his mind imagines many concepts – as a result, he misses the unitary bliss and love of his I-Reality! This results in hatred, sense of division, confusion and bewilderment within his mind.
Sri Sri Babathakur went on further to cite the super-sensitive behavior of the touch-me-not vine. This vine immediately withdraws itself, whenever it comes in contact with an external object. The Master urges us to have a completely pure mind which is not biased and prejudiced, and is not preoccupied by imaginary thoughts of duality. This will enable the mind to be eternally immersed in the Knowledge of Oneness.
So, let’s dwell upon the Master’s words and live a peaceful life with the Knowledge of Oneness.
Joy Babathakur! Joy Babathakur! Joy Babathakur!
