Prof. Anil Kumar's visits to Indonesia

[Guest guest]

With Swami's Grace, Sai devotees in Indonesia,

particularly Jakarta & Bali were priviledge to have

Satsang with Prof. Anil Kumar.

 

During his stays for a week in Indonesia (2nd until

9th May 2005), Prof. Anil Kumar happened to give

speeches on May 3rd & May 8th in Jakarta.

 

As we all know, Prof. Anil Kumar is a very well

knowned for his energetic personality & His Talks are

very inspirational & motivating. Here are some of the

salient points from Prof. Anil Kumar's talks at Sri

Sathya Sai Centre - Pasar Baru (on May 2nd, 2005):

 

- we have faith in barbers & doctors but we do not

believe in god

- believe is common; while faith is individual

- faith has become seasonal reasonal conditional

convenience expectational; while truth is beyond these

- intelligence relates to mind, faith; intellectual

relates to the heart, trust

- trust in god is unshakable, pure & unpolluted

- kids have trust & faith, but when grows up lose them

& run after believe

- happiness is relative. what makes you happy today

can make you unhappy tomorrow. there is no absolute

happiness

- when got married - happy; when asked to make coffee

- unhappy

- life is mostly happy/ healthy & not so often

unhappy/unhealthy, so appreciate happiness

- we get happiness from unhappiness only

- what you consider a curse now can be a miracle later

- men’s calamity is god's opportunity

- attitude is everything

- spirituality is an attitude, reconciliation,

acceptance, and surrender

- let us be spiritual in the right spirit

- life of religion is music, dance. a religious life

is a happy life

- when one dies let us speak of his/her greatness

- motive is everything & not expression

- maintain equal mindedness

- religion divides/ banner/crude gold/speak of many

things; spirituality unites/ manner/ shining gold/

silence

- spirituality gives tax exemption not tax evasion

- pain is outer; bliss is inner e.g. Jesus on a cross

- keep suffering to yourself; spread only joy

- swami's suffering is for example not due to his own

doing, unlike us

- god is a postman who delivers what is meant for you.

he is a witness

- good people suffer so we can grow beyond suffering,

to be a good example for others

- lust respect friendship possessiveness is not love

itself but its expressions

- i give you legs so you can leave bad companies

- life is not a question but is a quest

 

And here are the salient points from His Talks at

Hotel Hyatt Aryaduta on May 8th, 2005:

 

- life is a challenge face it

- ambe jagadari ambe, ambe jagadari....he

- prof anil kumar kamaraju officially translated for

baba since 1969. born in gunthur andra pradesh.

- the beauty of life is the challenge itself. don't

run away & escape from it.

the animals say : while alive

- we have definite time to eat

- definite time to sleep after a hard workday

- & don't fear life

- we have reason & season for life

even after death skin, hair, teeth & flesh of animals

are better but

- no plants/ animals can transcend itself. a tiger

cannot be more than a lion but men can be divine thus

human life is rarest & most precious of all. even gods

& goddesses want to be born as human.

 

1) life is an opportunity, take it early !

- human life is to be fragrance !

- in being busy what diff we are from machine.

anything that is mechanical losses its beauty.

everything is ready made - bad. mix your love in food

you made as it becomes mechanical

- always keep that personal touch

- don't make your lie a machine. listen to the voice

in the early morning. watch nature to see the beauty

of god

- listen to the primordial sound of omkar

- if we are cut of from nature we are less blissful

sine life is natural

- live life in an endless hope

- logic will take away nature

- when you ask the meaning of life, why, the meaning

is gone (just like K)

- human's business is not in asking why of life but

how to enjoy life. we do not ask why your wife cooks.

 

2) life a challenge between love & logic

- don't take life seriously

- we all belong the organic family of god. all are

brothers & sisters in prasanthi nilayam but outside we

are divided.

- life is a challenge bet poetry/ responsive/

imagination or prose/prosaic / stiff life

- life a challenge bet work or the body (as a vehicle

like a car to be maintained)

- religion does not mean looking shabby. must look

presentable/ acceptable. baba is meticulous on

cleanliness.

- we are the reflection of god. smile if he smiles

- life is a challenge between body/ experience/ mortal

& soul/ experiencer/ forever

- life is a challenge between life/birth of the body &

death of the body but life is continuous

- truth is unchangeable but facts is changeable

- i, aham is common across age nationality race

- challenge between jyoti & tamas

- knowledge is borrowed/ egoistic/ self aggrandism/

ignorance; wisdom is original/ humble/

simplicity/innocence

- mix with everyone, all are brothers all are sisters

(except the one wife)

- swami with you by my side I can buy you the world

- god is countless, casteless

- publicity is for men

- baba said your happiness is my food

- would you like to limit god by your act of worship

only, by a scripture, or to feel him

- you know that god knows but baba often give us the

experience that god knows

- is life a ritual or spiritual (feel god)

 

- life is a game play it.

- a game is serious/human/win or loss/ has rules &

regulation, a play is fun/ divine/ no win or loss/no

rules & regulation (why swami don't call ME for

interview while others have many times - game)

- why should you invite me to my own house

- so make the game that is human, a play (above win or

loss)

- its quality that matters

- life is a game, so serious for me but it’s a play

for the lord. So go along play it

-with swami you are a hero, w/o swami you are zero

- water/rasa is the essence of life

- it is the poverty of mind (not of the body)/

indiscipline that caused unrest using the orderliness

of people receiving rice in a poor area in central

java.

- "bali"ness is godliness

- make your life a play not a game

- you lose so much energy during anger (6 month of

food energy eaten)

- when we jealous we loss our brilliance, efficiency,

it is the worst of all sin

- when swami give something for somebody never fell

jealous

-things happen due to its own accord, god's play is

cosmic/ universal

- ja/come; gat/go but god is always there

- negative expressions is inherent weakness

- life positive/ affirmative is religious; life

negative is irreligious

- never forget to joke daily

- everything is a play to god

- baba says when you eat it will reach me

- after using this body for a long time we have to pay

"taxes"/ illness

-desireless is god himself

- knowing swami does not mean moving to puttaparthi

- sai bhajan establish the link between individual and

the cosmic

 

WAYS TO REDUCE ANGER

- drink a glass of water

- watch yourself in mirror

- walk about outside

- wait for a while

 

- find the talent of a child & let it grow naturally

- baba is the cosmic jesus, the second coming of

christ

- to change do it gradually

- living with baba is living IN fire, away from him

you only feel the WARMTH

- spirituality is a gradual process

- life/god is HERE , NOW

- physical/ mental confidence is not self-confidence

- among friends we do not find fault in each other,

expose weakness

- friendship in sanskrit is maitri

- hopeful end is endless hope

- things will not stay like it is forever

- fasting is ritual; thinking of god is spiritual

- god gives me courage to face my challenges

- if you don't do the rituals you will not know

spirituals. from form to formlessness. both are

necessary.

 

By the end of the programme, Mr. & Mrs. Anil Kumar

were presented with some souvenirs from Sai devotees

in Indonesia. In the picture attached, Prof. Anil

Kumar were presented with a sketch of his picture with

Namaste,
