Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Greetings for the pure festival of Raksha Bandhan – 2006 (Gifts from Senior Brothers and Sisters of Madhuban) On the palm of each one’s hands is the pattern of our future and fortune. It is our fortune to receive signals, secrets, directions from the Father on how to tread the path of the life to get back to our true Home. He has shared with us the wisdom of how, on the course of the journey to become pure, how we must conduct our thoughts and feelings towards ourselves and others. He has taught us how to ourselves remain protected and how to protect others. We are connected to Him by this special thread. He has taught us the true meaning of Raksha Bandhan, the Bondage of Protection… Directions for the Journey 1. Children, the journey of life is long, continue on it laughing and singing. Be a carefree emperor - never allow any trace of worry to show on your face. 2. Follow the Father: the proof of that is to be worthy and obedient. Those who remember only the Father are obedient, faithful and honest. 3. Let your thoughts be pure and elevated; let your vision for yourself and for others be the same as God’s vision for you. Do not engage yourself in what others are doing or saying. Do not let your mind wander into the past and into things that concern others. 4. Remember that purity brings with it all virtues. Let there not be any defects in you. Do not keep anyone else’s defects in your heart. Only when there isn’t a drop of anything impure, or any impure thoughts will it be said that you have complete purity. Directions for Action and Interaction 5. Patience, humility and honesty create a very good atmosphere. When there is honesty, love and co-operation all tasks become easy and there is no feeling of tiredness. 6. Always maintain spirituality, together with an entertaining, light and open-hearted nature. Spirituality will enable you to keep your self-respect, and a light-hearted nature will give the experience of sweetness and humility. Such a nature will bring others close. 7. To become completely pure, do not listen to others: do not speak or listen to gossip or anything wasteful. Do not perform any actions against what you know to be right by being influenced or controlled by someone. 8. To have dislike for others in your mind or to defame others means you do not have a pure heart. Those who have dislike for others in their vision cannot be considered to be pure. Never agree with those who gossip or insult others. To become completely pure, be cautious of this. 9. Observing purity in actions alone is not enough. If there is the mischief of impurity in your vision or attitude, it will not allow you to become pure. Let there be spirituality in your vision too. Your vision should not change due to someone else’s nature. 10. Your feelings should always remain pure, elevated and filled with faith. Only then will your interaction with others be the best of all. Let your thoughts be pure, peaceful, elevated and filled with determination. Then, you will find everything that is to happen will be for the best. It is already guaranteed. 11. Children, remember that you are sitting in the boat of truth and the Father is steering our boat. Give one another the respect that the world is giving you. Do not depart from that on hearing something trivial. Stay on course, then, perfection will continue to come close. The Company of the Guide 12. The Father has signed a contract with you: when you keep courage, He will help. Therefore, do not lose your courage or faith by having any thoughts of doubt. 13. If you are honest and seated on the seat of self-respect, then no matter what or who comes along to challenge you, you will be able to overcome it. 14. Children, remember that your heart will never be heavy nor hurt if you are connected with the Comforter of Hearts. You won’t even have thoughts of giving sorrow. To have thoughts of giving sorrow is a sign of impurity. 15. You all are rivers of knowledge who have emerged from the Ocean of Knowledge to uplift everyone. Therefore let there be no trace of vice in you. Your words should be sweet and give joy to others. 16. Seeing your words, actions, behaviour and interaction, people will accept that truly you are establishing heaven. Your actions should reveal what the future of the world is. They should recognise who your Companion is.
