[Guest guest]

FW mail of : Udayo Untarya WijayaProf. Anil Kumar's visits to Indonesia

With Swami's Grace, Sai devotees in Indonesia,particularly Jakarta & Bali were

priviledge to haveSatsang with Prof. Anil Kumar.During his stays for a week in

Indonesia (2nd until9th May 2005), Prof. Anil Kumar happened to givespeeches on

May 3rd & May 8th in Jakarta.As we all know, Prof. Anil Kumar is a very

wellknowned for his energetic personality & His Talks arevery inspirational &

motivating. Here are some of thesalient points from Prof. Anil Kumar's talks at

SriSathya Sai Centre - Pasar Baru (on May 2nd, 2005):- we have faith in barbers

& doctors but we do notbelieve in god- believe is common; while faith is

individual- faith has become seasonal reasonal conditionalconvenience

expectational; while truth is beyond these- intelligence relates to mind,

faith; intellectualrelates 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 todaycan make you unhappy

tomorrow. there is no absolutehappiness- when got married - happy; when asked

to make coffee- unhappy- life is mostly happy/ healthy & not so

oftenunhappy/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 lifeis 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 manythings; 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 owndoing, 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 loveitself but its expressions- i give

you legs so you can leave bad companies- life is not a question but is a

questAnd here are the salient points from His Talks atHotel Hyatt Aryaduta on

May 8th, 2005:- life is a challenge face it- ambe jagadari ambe, ambe

jagadari....he- prof anil kumar kamaraju officially translated forbaba since

1969. born in gunthur andra pradesh.- the beauty of life is the challenge

itself. don'trun 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 lifeeven after

death skin, hair, teeth & flesh of animalsare better but- no plants/ animals

can transcend itself. a tigercannot be more than a lion but men can be divine

thushuman 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

foodyou made as it becomes mechanical- always keep that personal touch- don't

make your lie a machine. listen to the voicein the early morning. watch nature

to see the beautyof god- listen to the primordial sound of omkar- if we are cut

of from nature we are less

blissfulsine life is natural- live life in an endless hope- logic will take away

nature- when you ask the meaning of life, why, the meaningis gone (just like K)-

human's business is not in asking why of life buthow 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 arebrothers &

sisters in prasanthi nilayam but outside weare divided.- life is a challenge

bet poetry/ responsive/imagination or prose/prosaic / stiff life- life a

challenge bet work or the body (as a vehiclelike a car to be maintained)-

religion does not mean looking shabby. must lookpresentable/ acceptable. baba

is meticulous oncleanliness.- 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 worshiponly, by a scripture, or to feel him- you know that god

knows but baba often give us theexperience 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/norules &

regulation (why swami don't call

ME forinterview 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 orloss)- its

quality that matters- life is a game, so serious for me but it’s a playfor 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 orderlinessof people receiving

rice in a poor area in centraljava.- "bali"ness is godliness- make your life a

play not a game- you lose so much energy during anger (6 month offood energy

eaten)- when we jealous we loss our brilliance, efficiency,it is the worst of

all sin- when swami give something for somebody never felljealous-things happen

due to its own accord, god's play iscosmic/ universal- ja/come; gat/go but god

is always there- negative expressions

is inherent weakness- life positive/ affirmative is religious; lifenegative 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 andthe

cosmicWAYS 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 ofchrist- to change do

it gradually- living with baba is living IN fire, away from himyou 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 knowspirituals. from form to formlessness. both

arenecessary.By the end of the programme, Mr. & Mrs. Anil Kumarwere presented
