NOTE -

"READ CAREFULLY, AND THEN KEEP THE ESSENCE IN YOUR MIND EVER; THIS IS THE ANSWER FOR PAKISTAN AND OTHER TERROR SPONSORING ISLAMIC COUNTRIES; MAJORITY OIL RICH MUSLIM COUNTRIES MIS-USE RELIGION; THEY ARE IGNORANT ABOUT THE SOCIAL VALUES OF RELIGION; OTHERWISE THEY WHY THEY ARE SPONSORING TERRORIST, AND EXPORT TERROR TO PEACEFUL LIVING COUNTRIES."

 "BHARATHAM REALIZED THE TRUTH OF RELIGION AND SOCIAL VALUES, SINCE ANCIENT DAYS FROM GREAT MAHARISHI-S"


Chapter 1: The Circumstances in Which We Have to Live in the World-5.

There is a very peculiar attitude that we develop towards our own selves which can be very safely defined by a single word: duplicity.

We do not maintain a true relationship with our own selves.

At the very outset, we manage to be untrue to our own selves in order that we may live in an untrue relationship with people.

It is sometimes felt that in order to justify one falsehood, another falsehood may have to be heaped over it.

A single falsehood does not stand on its own legs.

We are acutely aware of something peculiar in our own selves which cannot stand the logic of nature or, perhaps, the will of God; and with this circumstance, we have to live in this world.


We have been forced to accept that we somehow have to live in this world.

We do not ask people, “Is it necessary for me to live in this world?”

The question is already answered by our own selves: It is necessary.

That it is necessary to live in this world is not learned by us from books.

It is not a sermon that we have received from our Gurus or Masters.

We have come to a conclusion definitely, by our own selves, for reasons we alone know: It is necessary to exist in this world.


A hypothesis is already taken for granted. And this necessity to exist is—very, very unfortunately for us—involved in a network of complicated adjustments that we are required to make every moment of time, so that every minute that we pass seems to be an artificial existence.

We are perpetually aware as to what is around us, as a field marshal may be looking around in the battlefield to see what is moving and operating in all ten directions.

What rest can we have here?

But rest we must have.

We have already concluded that it must be there; and we have to move Earth and heaven to gain this acquisition.

The Essence of Dharma-23.

23/02/2018 Spoken on February 11th, 1973) This is the concept of dharma, of the duty of man in the universe, the nature of which is thus explained. Dharma has sometimes been regarded as one of the four purusharthas: dharma, artha, kama, moksha. This is the sum and substance of Hinduism. The essence of the religion of India is summed up in a phrase: dharma, artha, kama, moksha. If you are asked by anyone what is Hinduism, simply say, “Dharma, artha, kama, moksha.” This is Hinduism: a blend of these four concepts of duty. Hinduism is always a blend. It is never a one-sided affair. It has no name. ‘Hinduism’ is not the name of this religion. It is the name that is foisted upon it by Westerners, not knowing what it is. We have no name for our religion. It is not founded by any person. It is universal, capable of absorbing everything into itself like a menstruum. It is sanatana dharma, eternal dharma. It is eternal religion forever applicable to all persons of all creeds and sexes.
