the great vow— best than anything.

Five pillars of Swastyayani are universal. It is not such kind of a thing which is one for me, other for you or another for someone else. All these must be followed and practiced according to one’s distinctive characteristic if one really wants to develop. First it is necessary to take care of the body considering it to be the instrument to serve the Lord. Secondly, without suppressing the passions one has to manipulate and regulate them by making them conducive to the interest and establishment of the Lord. Then one should incessantly and in a righteous manner, materialize whatever good thought that comes to his mind. Next, one has to serve people and infuse them with Lord the Ideal to elevate his surroundings. And then, enhancing working power and earning ability one should offer the oblation of the vow to the Lord. If one observes these in a proper way, he would have been bound to briskly flourish and prosper.

********** ********** **********

A Person entreats:— O Merciful! My son is going hard with his ill fate. He can be saved, only if you, with your mercy, save him. Astrologers’ have said that everything is possible by the mercy of Sadguru. I too believe this.

Beloved the Lord:— Nothing can happen without the mercy of the Supreme Father. Repetition of the Holy Name should be done intently. And it is good to take the holy water of Swastyayani. All the principles of Swastyayani should be performed with sincerity and dedication. And the oblation of Swastyayani has to be offered with flower and water along with uttering the mantra. That water is the holy water of Swastyayani. I don’t find anything as powerful as Swastyayani. As much and to the extent someone performs out of those five principles of Swastyayani, so much full of strength he will be. Everything of the world has been laid in this. The more one performs, the more one realizes. There is in Manu-Samhitā—

“Idang swastyayanang shresthamidang buddhivivarddhanam

Idang yashasyamāyusyamidang nihshreysang param.”

Swastyayani is the gift of Supreme Father. It had never been given so precisely before. This time wreathing these principles together like a string of beads Father the Supreme has bestowed this gift as amulet for us. Many a person doesn’t perform sincerely, so they cannot realize its magnanimity.

Quest:— What can be the effect, if we keep observing these five principles of Swastyayani day in and day out?

Beloved the Lord:— Then no calamity can baffle your go of life, and with your controlling quality even the evil will become the source of your welfare. Your influence, your activity, and your income will continue to be augmented over the people. There is no miracle in it. If you, in a constant manner, endeavour for good, and if you fill up all those holes, through which the fruits of your endeavour is drained away, then an accumulated result will be inevitable. What an extraordinary affair that will be! Never ever is seen anywhere. Prosperity will be within your grip, if you scrupulously follow the path of Swastyayani. If you work out the sum putting it into the formula, the answer will be liable to meet.

Quest:— What will happen if somebody cannot perform any one out of them?

Beloved the Lord:— Each of them is tied together. All are inter-connected. If one principle is not performed, others are also cannot be performed rightly. On the average that much deficiency will remain there. One should not give indulgence to antagonistic thinking in the very beginning; later on he will not be able to succeed anymore. One should have more than one hundred percent tenacity to perform all those in a flawless manner. It gradually becomes a little slackened, notwithstanding. Devout existential go does not become a part of habit, unless there is an intense tenacity and ever conscious observation and analysis. One must not pardon his own defects. If you make persistent exertion, how many days it will take to revive the modes of conduct! If existential habits are made seasoned, the fruits of it can be enjoyed all throughout the life. It is like the permanent settlement of ownership.

Quest:— What will be the consequence if someone, even observing Yajan, Yaajan, Istabhrity, commits go-between?

Beloved the Lord:— Go-between is a dangerous thing. It makes one utterly worn-out like worm-eaten. It never allows any endeavour to reach its optimum goal. Observing Yajan, Yaajan, Ishtabhrity while committing go-between you can get the fruits of Yajan, Yaajan, Ishtabhrity but, at the same time most of them will be spoiled by go-between. Instead of hundred percent, perhaps, forty percent you achieve. And I think, fostering go-between means to break the principle of Swastyayani too. Go-between is nothing but a complicated passion antagonistic to existence. If this heinous passion is not regulated by making it employed in the establishment of the interest of the Lord, there remains flaw in the observance of Swastyayani.

However you obey the law of Providence

to whatever degree and to as much extent,

excluding-reducing and considering all

the fruit you shall get to that much length.”

“Even a little negligence of law

impediment of God's dispensation,

makes difference as heaven and hell

crafts distress to the condition.”

Quest:— Is this message of yours relevant for every aspect of life? It is often seen that someone leads his life righteously but due to the adverse surroundings faces many sufferings, why so?

Beloved the Lord:— There is equivalence everywhere like goldsmith’s balance. If you can judge and analyze your present condition precisely and minutely, then you will be able to discern that how much right or wrong your past conducts would have been; again, if you can scrutinize and analyze your present conduct and action very thoughtfully, you will come to know what form your future life can take. We may have no control over past but, standing upon the good-bad experiences of the past if we rectify our present conduct, the upliftment will be bound to happen. Of course, as per the scheduled one must get his due, the fruits of his previous misdeed whatever he had committed. Facing sufferings due to the adverse surroundings, what are you speaking about is also the fruits of karma. So, adjusting ourselves along with the surroundings through conducting ourselves righteously, infusing the Ideal in the environment and bestowing dharma is our diurnal activities. Consequence of ignoring this makes augurs evil.

Quest:— However much service may be rendered to man, however he be infused by the Ideal or be initiated but, the inborn nature of a man doesn’t seem to be changed, does it?

Beloved the Lord:— Efforts should be given as per the situation whatever be possible. And those, who are distorted, have to be taken with patience and tolerance; they have to be resisted tactfully— without being obsessed. Going becomes pleasing if the environment is favourable. And if the environment is vile, then in the process of enduring, bearing, adjusting and resisting that environment according to the Ideal, though man faces sufferings but it enhances his strength. That also indirectly becomes the reason of happiness. One who is Lord-centric, the way to success remains open for him in all directions, save he be ready for sufferings and incessant endeavour. Giving a poor excuse of environment’s unadjusted conduct if someone does not try to adjust his own conduct, nothing else can be as foolishness as this attitude. If sin is indulged, the fire of that sin kills by smoldering generation after generation, birth after birth. So, it is not good to keep weaknesses alive through negligence. It is easy to make bad habit but, hard to forsake. However there is no respite unless you forsake it. Whatever be the due, the Nature spares no one unless it repay with total interest, even to the last farthing.

Quest:— It is said, in Gita, to keep in practice habits and renunciation. But man has so much inclination to passion, how, in this situation, can renouncement come?

Beloved the Lord:— Renouncement cannot come unless there remains an intense love for the Lord. Everything lies in this. The more the attachment to the Lord increases, the more the hankering for the things that are unfavourable to the establishment of the interest of the Lord decreases. Renouncement does not mean to ignore the material world. But to gather and arrange each and everything for the interest of the Lord is renouncement. We have to do everything only to give material shape to the intention of the Lord. And that will have to do with earnest urge in a proper way. Without doing this, just sitting like an idle with no enthusiasm and diligence is not renouncement at all. The Lord alone has to be known and accepted as the most near-dear and superior one. No one will be there for us as more beloving or valuable than Him. Millions of money I may have but, all money will be for the service of the Lord and Lord’s interest. If it is necessary, I shall be ever ready to accept making whatever kind of sacrifice for Him. And making this sacrifice I shall harbor no ego for the sacrifice. That all my money have been put in His service, or to fulfill His wishes utilized in the service of the people, I shall feel myself gratified. The greatest example of renouncement, we can see, in the life of Shivaji. Even himself being a king, he had given kingdom to his Master. Further, to fulfill the wishes of his Master, he conducted state affairs as merely a representative of his Master. Each and everything what I possess, has to be accepted as His and has to be invested in His service. This way man doesn’t become crazy crying ‘myself’ or ‘mine’, doesn’t become entangled. Involving in everything he can remain uninvolved. His inclination becomes concentric to the Lord. Hence nothing like beauty, quality, wealth, honour, riches, pleasure and enjoyment can distract him from that stand. This is what is called non-attachment or renouncement. Again, if anything, at all, creates obstruction in his Lord-oriented go, and if in no way can he be able to regulate, adjust or solve that, then nothing can stop him from forsaking that immediately. As Vilwamangal extracted his eyes, because, those eyes, by making him attracted to the beauty of woman, had made his mind distracted from the divine lotus-feet of the Lord.

Quest:— Is it proper to take such extreme course? Don’t we become restricted? The eyes, which become attracted to the beauty of woman and distract one from devout constant endeavour, may also help one to see many things facilitating constant endeavour. And without eyes one has to be depended on others, thus in various ways go of life and constant endeavour become baffled.

Beloved the Lord:— You are giving reason and logic according to yourself. Can you ever conceive how and in what manner single-mindedly the earnest eagerness of devotion to God had a hold upon Vilwamangal? Else, to tear down one’s own eyes is not a matter of joke. And he didn’t do that whimsically but, for the sake of heart-pouring divine-intoxication. There is even in Bible that, as I have heard, if your eyes become an obstacle in the path of your constant endeavour for life, then uproot if you must. If your hands become so, cut off those hands. It is better to have a defective physique in order to keep the soul unimpaired than to have a perfect physique and indulging in deterioration of the soul. I can’t exactly remember but, you may verify it. Sometimes pruning of the branches and twigs of a tree is necessary in order to keep its root strong, and this is never wrong. Is it proper to lose the root for the fondness for branches and twigs? The fundamental object of life is devotion. Even accepting some external damage if devotion becomes nourished, then there is no loss or error in accepting that damage. Of course, if there is no love, no constant endeavour for love but, renunciation, oppression and practice of austerities and penances have been given importance,— such a thing is something else but not dharma.

Quest:— Does Nature also feels sorrows and sufferings?

Beloved the Lord:— Why not! You too sprout up from Father the Supreme. You are with your very nature, notwithstanding. Your nature feels pain often in a particular situation. You become ill; you become depressed; sometimes in unbearable suffering you just weep over. Plants and trees, soil and the like, everything feels the same according to their nature. So, each has to be given nourishment as per your utmost ability; the way of living for each has to be made easy— remaining vigilant, so that the existence of yourself along with your environment does not become endangered. Without cherishing any expectation of your personal profit, even if you resuscitate some apparently dead tree with sympathetic care, your life with dharma will become nourished by that. One day, perhaps, you shall gain the unexpected blessings of Nature.

********** ********** **********

Quest:— What this Swastyayani is all about? Is it necessary whereas Istabhrity is already there?

Beloved the Lord:— Swastyayani is a kind of vow consisting with its five principles. As the observance of this prevents all the impediments of progressive development, so also it helps one to acquire all the attributes what is essential for mastering upliftment, so that the path of welfare be broadened removing every type of evil. Moreover it averts the malign influences of planets. And the planet means that which makes one’s intellect obsessed. For example, there is the planet Saturn or the planet Rāhu. The observance of Swastyayani, in a perfect manner, begets much greater result, than any some sort of performances of rites or rituals for the mitigation of some planet that becomes provoked owing to the fruits of action.

The fundamental dictum of this vow is that, one will have to perform all these five principles concurrently. These five principles are—(i) one has to take care of his body for the well-being and stability of himself, considering it to be the instrument to serve his Lord the Ideal, (ii) whatever inclination of complexes peeps out of the mind, that has to be manipulated and regulated towards the congenial interest and establishment of Lord the Ideal, (iii) one has activize immediately into tangible reality, whatever occurs to him to be the best in any affair, (iv) one has to mobilize and elevate his neighbouring environment, considering their being and becoming to be the interest of his own life and lift, by attracting them to Lord the Ideal through infusing service, and (v) enhancing his working power, inventive skill and earning capacity, one has to offer devout oblation everyday to Lord the Ideal in a sacred way.

The true observance of Swastyayani takes place only when all these five principles are performed. Such as the transition of the sun occurs every day; passage of the sun from one range to another range is called transition. If we keep performing the vow of Swastyayani with its each principle and maxim sincerely with adherence, then we too can realize, simultaneously with the sun, a consistent gradual transition or passage of our go of life to a new world in accordance with this vow. Owing to this transition towards Lord the Ideal we can gradually get rid of the serpentine noose of the obsession of complexes. Then the planet or its evil influence, or the knot of complex can hardly overpower us.

After accepting initiation one must perform Istabhrity to keep the initiation awake and alive. Yajan, Yaajan and Istabhrity uphold the existence. For further becoming the vow of Swastyayani has to be accepted and observed. Through the co-ordination of Ideal, individual and environment life progresses on the path of successive development. The principles of Swastyayani makes this co-ordination more and more established in life. However we perform first four principles of Swastyayani, but without the offerings in the service of the Lord that worship becomes decentric. So, that offering of the oblation within the vow of Swastyayani is truly essential. This is like the stem. The main thing is, the material fulfillment and nourishment of the Lord is first and foremost duty of our life. Unless the vital attachment for Him grows, the being within us cannot get the path of true upliftment. Incessantly doing for Him rouses the attachment for Him. So, all these five principles must be performed devotedly. And on the expiry of every month, remitting an amount of rupees three only for the Lord the rest has to be preserved as the remnant fund of Swastyayani. That accumulated amount gradually accrues and turns to be a big fund. By that some immovable asset endowed for the Lord should be raised. You may take one-fifth part of that asset’s income as a caretaker. And the Lord has the right over the rest of the four parts.

Quest:— If everyone raise the property endowed for the Lord, one day the whole nation may belong to the Lord.

Beloved the Lord:— Exactly.

Quest:— In what way the four-fifth part of that property’s income, which will remain for the Lord, should be utilized?

Beloved the Lord:— They are utilized for the country and the people. If this happens, you can do anything and everything. That is a common fund for the growth of all.

Quest:— Won’t the administration of the Swastyayani State be quite different?

Beloved the Lord:— It is the performers of the vow of Swastyayani who will manage it in accordance with the features of this vow. Evolution of normal democratic state will take place verily through this. Along with this, the thorough awakenment conducive to dharma, Ideal, culture, tradition and distinctiveness will come up in people’s life. This is not the so-called democracy, the assembly devoid of divine clue and virtuous activity and conduct. Here those, who will represent, would be the representatives of the Lord as well as the mass. Therefore, the government that will come out of this will not be like of today. In that, the path of welfare will remain open unbounded, and the way to vileness be almost restricted. For, everyone will make for the establishment of Lord’s interest and resisting of the evil. Sum and substance is that the arrangement will be wonderful. There will be no conflict between capitalist and labour. They will glide together, and there will be no scope for quarrel.

Quest:— Who will manage the basic heavy and big industries of the country?

Beloved the Lord:— The state will manage it.

Quest:— This is socialism, isn’t this?

Beloved the Lord:— You may call it anything. Though socialism, there will be, in this, every scope for private enterprise. Individual cannot stay disregarding society. Again, if there is no proper individual freedom, nobody of the society can enjoy the life or can make it meaningful either. And to bring co-ordination between the individual and the society, it is necessary to follow the common Ideal. Just think and understand what a marvelous thing is this! Chew and taste much from it.

Quest:— If a person is intelligent and skillful but has no capital, how can he get his opportunity to work for any developmental project?

Beloved the Lord:— He will definitely get the opportunity. He will have the fund if he too observes Swastyayani. Besides, every one of those performers of Swastyayani is the manager of that collective fund or asset of Swastyayani; hence it is their duty to provide everyone who hasn’t get scope. Behind everybody, there are a much big capital and so many such well-wishing people. All of them are labours as well as capitalists. They have no intention to overpower anyone by making him a mere labour. But if there be any brainy one among those performers of this vow, it will be they who collectively make an opportunity for him to progress. Here, there will be no capitalist-labour problem. Those, who have less financial support or are poor, will be settled verily by the help of Swastyayani State and the individual performer of the vow of Swastyayani. Besides, their brain will create activities. Many a people will be required to manage the property endowed for the Lord. Hence, the unemployment problem will be lessening. However the individual enterprise will be fully protected. Because, everyone will endeavour, how with his utmost zeal he can fulfill the desire of the Lord through one’s practical activities. If anywhere, by the efforts of some such people, accumulating the remnant fund of Swastyayani, any big institution is built up; there also everyone should keep vigilance so that the institution must not deviate from its high principles. For this, everybody will have the right. Therefore, all the performers of this vow ought to endeavour practically in an apt manner so that the interests of everyone remain unharmed, and the whole society becomes exuberant in the Lord or God, may progress on the path of prosperity. That institution belongs to each and everyone, of any community notwithstanding. If this feeling dwells unhurt, this structure will not ever be destroyed, nor will people succumb. Keep in mind, those, who will follow to perform the five principles of Swastyayani, are liable to prosper along with their environment.

Quest:— There will be some specific rules and laws of Swastyayani-based state, will it?

Beloved the Lord:— It is all you who will do this. Indian dominion, even World dominion may be set up on this basis; that state will stand on people who observe Swastyayani, and the performers of the vow of Swastyayani will stand on that state which is set up. I can remember one actuary termed Swastyayani a wonderful thing.

Quest:— How the ups and downs and uncertainties of trade can be minimized? Capitalist are in favour of investing maximum capital in the sector that are much profiteering without caring a fig for the need of the people. That brings the situation resulting in the excess production of a few things what are not required. Due to the production more than the demand, it comes at a loss. On the other hand, due to the ceasing of the production of essential things, scarcity crops up, and the prices increase, people get into trouble. How all this can be controlled?

Beloved the Lord:— There is no solution other than the varnashrama— the grouping of the varieties of similar instincts. It minimizes administrative difficulties of a country. The king can breathe easy only if he keeps an eye on whether the varnashrama is maintained in a correct way and if he properly adjusts that. To the extent varnashrama is introduced, that much complications are reduced. In varnashrama, everyone has to serve the society according to one’s instinctive possibility. There is no aggravation of profiteering motive in it. Various types of specialized instincts and occupations beneficial for the need of the society are emerged through varnashrama. Provided that everyone is engaged in the work prescribed by his varna, the society gets everyone’s most efficient service, and does not become deprived in terms of any kind of essential service. And each varna may become nourished by getting service from every other varna. This enhances an inter-dependence and mutual interest. The edict of varnashrama is that nobody can steal other’s occupation. This will prevent undue competition. Also no one will remain unemployed. In varnashrama, the installation of big machines is more or less prohibited. If possible then, decentralizing a big factory, that will have to be distributed into ten thousand houses. Then, a particular part will be manufactured in a particular house. Finally arrangement has to be made to assemble them. If such a system is taken place, everyone can get the opportunity to work in a familial atmosphere. Instead of a person or two everyone will get the profit. If such thing happens, then the country will take no time to be developed. That development will not be one-sided. In varnashrama, everyone, besides all aspects, grows biologically which is such an eternal wealth of a nation.

********** ********** **********

Quest:— You have said to make immovable assets endowed for the Lord from the remnant fund of Swastyayani. What is your planning through this?

Beloved the Lord:— If you make immovable assets endowed for the Lord from the remnant fund of Swastyayani, you can never sell it, you can never destroy it, you have to make arrangements that ensures its remaining ever intact. Four-fifth part of the income from that asset will be spent for the activities of dharma, culture and human welfare. You will, then, not have to look for government’s aid anymore for the development of education, agriculture, industry, health, wealth and security. Every family will do for every other family. In the process of protecting, preserving and managing the assets of Swastyayani many a person will get his livelihood, people will be employed; they will, then, not have to go door to door for their employment. Standing upon the income of that asset, making the arrangements for the mental, moral and spiritual nurture of the environment in various ways, everyone will be made efficient and productive according to individual distinctiveness. Whole nation will be flourished. Individual qualities and collective wealth will be growing together.

********** ********** **********

Quest:— The observance of Swastyayani is very good, that I can understand. But the monetary crisis creates the problem.

Beloved the Lord:— If you follow those principles of Swastyayani, those will verily equip you with the capacity to observe Swastyayani, and those will certainly uplift you. Whereas the observance of Swastyayani is essential to remove the causes, that accrue indigence. Merely offering oblation is not Swastyayani at all. That is one of those five principles. Performing those five principles altogether with utmost ability is the observance of Swastyayani.

********** ********** **********

Quest:— I was used to be worried about my body before, but now I’m not so.

Beloved the Lord:— To be worried very often about the body is the symptom of sickness. We are not quite conscious about the fact that we have eyes. But when a bit of straw drops in our eye or for any other reason when eye ails, only and only then we become very wary of eyes. It means that the wellness of eyes is affected. Same is true for the body also.

Quest:— What should be done if the mind becomes worried about body?

Beloved the Lord:— If body becomes sickly, the mind automatically inclines to the body. But the one thing which is to be stated is the principles of Swastyayani, and one of its principles affirms that one should proceed with the outlook of considering his body to be the instrument to serve the Lord, by keeping it healthy and stable. Hence, not the body but the activities for the Lord get importance. Possessing this feeling whatever we do, that saves us from obsession, otherwise we cannot find deliverance. Swastyayani is such an asset that if one performs it properly, he is liable to be prospered. Not only he becomes prospered but, getting into that atmosphere everyone of his surrounding becomes prospered.

Quest:— Why such progress, what you are stating, has not been seen, whereas so many of us are observing Swastyayani?

Beloved the Lord:— To observe Swastyayani means performing all those principles of it in one’s everyday life. And moving in this manner the result can be achieved immediately. It changes the basis of one’s mind. However one’s condition may be, he can adjust that to good. In the root of man’s everything, there remain character, behaviour, desire and eagerness. The vow of Swastyayani touches upon all of them. If these are changed, one’s condition too will be liable to change.

Quest:— In spite of observing Swastyayani when one has to come across calamity, the mind becomes weak, and thinks, what is the benefit in observing this?

Beloved the Lord:— We are already within planetary influences. When we try to get rid of their evil influence, they too then, mostly do not spare show their might. But at that time if we give up Swastyayani, we will utterly topple down in their grip, and verily they, putting a bridle, will goad us. Therefore, verily, the road to hell will be clear. So, catastrophe, calamity whatever may come, one has to hold fast to Swastyayani with more intensity. There is no way out for rescue than this. It is like the battle of gods and demons. Swastyayani is the expedition towards the path of divine life. Taking vigorous resolution we should move on that path. If we can cling to this with perseverance, the victory will be sure. Moreover, if you look on the persons who have truly become great, some at least principles of Swastyayani have certainly been evident in their character. If all these five principles take shape in someone’s character, however be a peasant or porter-labour, he will certainly become eminent. So, which one of these principles is being performed how and in which manner, everyday one has to analyze that. If there is any lapse in the observance of someone, that has to be performed properly; hence, misfortune cannot find any cleft to get into our life. And along with this, Yajan, Yaajan and Istabhrity also have to be observed properly.

Quest:— Does the economical development of the nation depend upon Swastyayani?

Beloved the Lord:— Why only economical, throughout development depends upon Swastyayani. Swastyayani does make everything blossom. So, in as many people as you can impart Swastyayani, it will beget good. I understand by the persons observing the vow of Swastyayani, the men of God, the Men of Dharma, the men of Culture— in practical conduct. So others also become inclined to the source, devoted to life and growth in his contact. All his doings, sayings and thinkings become concentric. Through this, the integrated personality flourishes, wisdom blossoms. If few become so, even they can change the atmosphere of the country and the world.

********** ********** **********

Quest:— How the industrial move will be successful?

Beloved the Lord:— Some qualifications are required for industry. By observing Swastyayani those qualifications are acquired, and such habits are formed. If, like, motor-sensory coordination is not there, the habit to activize according to good thoughts is not there, and you cannot figure out how many chances are wasted. This quality must exist in a person whosoever has been successful in the field of industry, trade, business or in life’s any sector whatsoever. And education is, to consolidate these habits. If one can become efficient in practicing the principles of Swastyayani, no one in the world can oust him.

********** ********** **********

Quest:— I couldn’t actually understand the connection of industry business and trade with that of Swastyayani! Because, many such persons who do not observe Swastyayani are seen to achieve much success but the persons who observe Swastyayani don’t.

Beloved the Lord:— By observing Swastyayani I understand, performing those principles of Swastyayani in life and to materialize them in character. Take an example, if a businessman starts breaking his capital even due to a little difficulty, his business will not survive. So, a habit is essential that, however great difficulty one has to face but, capital would not be touched. This habit is consolidated in them who perform Swastyayani properly. They know that, the remnant fund of Swastyayani ought not to be broken, not to be spent i.e., not to be destroyed by any means. When such nature forms, Swastyayani becomes successful. In Swastyayani, there remains inquisitiveness for the environment, which brings about in the brain the scheme and device of fulfilling their needs. This way many new inventions eventuate. From his propensity to serve, he becomes triumphant in infusing the Ideal. Advertising for a business and infusing the Ideal are two different things. By this, people are owned, and intelligence too keeps unfurling day by day. Moreover, owing to his intensified propensity of establishing the interest of the Lord he doesn’t become deluded by the environment rather, can make them his asset by moulding them. He becomes the master of the situation. If one has no such mastery over a situation, he can never check some untoward circumstances. He can do so in an ordinary circumstance but, becomes bewildered at the time of emergency. So, if the character is formed by Swastyayani, then the prosperity in industry, trade and business is quite natural.

********** ********** **********

Quest:— How can we overcome the habit of procrastination?

Beloved the Lord:— Our inclination to passions many a time creates a resistance in the way of doing something good. It says, leave it, do it at a later time. If we assent to this, disaster will be inevitable. A discord is created between the good will and the response of the motor-nerve. If one takes the resolve and starts observing the five principles of Swastyayani what I have stated, accepting this as a vow, it hits the very root of many defects, and helps for rectification. Man may have plenty of good habits but, if there remains a single complex which hasn’t become congenial to Lord the Ideal, this might produce a huge damage. On the other hand, in spite of his many bad habits if all his complexes become absorbed in the Lord, it takes no time to overcome all those bad habits. So, it is said in Gita—

                        “Api chet sudurāchāro bhajate māmananyabhāk,

                        Sādhurewa sa mantavyah samyak vyavasito hi sah.”

********** ********** **********

Quest:— How can, then, the motor-sensory co-ordination be roused? And how can that be imparted extensively in the environment either?

Beloved the Ideal:— Observe these underlying factors of Swastyayani, there is no way other than these. Everything will be done by this, that I emphasize more and more with firm determination and, there is not an iota of doubt in it. And if one keeps performing Swastyayani, then he ought to go into the contact of more and more extended environment, resulting in the impartation of those factors into his environment too through his conduct, through his impulse. Swastyayani is a run along with the environment, towards the evolution, towards the becoming. By this, all the aspects like physical, psychical, of complex, environmental and material will continue to become adjusted concurrently, provided that each will have to be performed. Default in the performing of any one will have to be taken as failure in observing this sacred vow; paying attention to this one has to be always alert and move sincerely with dedication, and has to scrutinize and analyze whether there has been any infringement anywhere in the observing of this vow; also that will have to be rectified by one’s agile effort while going through practical activities. In this way a man, in no time, becomes an impeccable perfect divine man. His environment too becomes hued in this novel colour. Again I state this five principles of Swastyayani,— (i) take care of your body for the well-being and stability of yourself, considering it to be the instrument to serve your Lord the Ideal, (ii) manipulate and regulate whatever inclination of complexes peeps out of your mind, towards the congenial interest and establishment of Lord the Ideal, (iii) activize immediately into tangible reality whatever occurs to you to be the best in any affair, (iv) exalting and elevating your neighbouring environment, considering their being and becoming to be the interest of your own life and lift, make them devoted to Lord the Ideal through rendering infusing service, and (v) enhancing your earning capacity through everyday new inventive endeavour, offer devout oblation to Lord the Ideal as much as you can with your utmost ability, and on the expiry of thirty days remitting an amount of rupees three only for your Lord keep the rest to preserve as the remnant fund of Swastyayani. By that, raise some immovable asset endowed for the Lord. You can take one-fifth part of that asset’s income as a caretaker, and the rest of the four parts has to be invested to augment that asset endowed for the Lord. Each of the principles has to be observed, but if one can stick to maintain this offering oblation unfailingly, even in a particular situation if this has to be maintained by begging, as a result of this all others are kept flowing slowly but surely, provided that there is eagerness. That, one try to follow others but doesn’t make the offering will not do. Everything is there for the source; that is verily the stem, if broken, everything will start to break. The fundamental urge shall have to be kept always alive; otherwise, all efforts will be meaningless, thus wilted. Accuracy of time and date has to be observed for the knowledge of time. One cannot fathom the multitude of the effect if so many people observe Swastyayani properly. Many a Swastyayani-State will be raised by the remnant fund of Swastyayani. An unknown actuary has been found terming it the revolutionary economics. In some emergency, if the four-fifth parts of the annual income of those Swastyayani-States are drawn out, there will be, then, no need for taxation, there will be plenty of money for public works and welfare, there will be no more starvation or poverty in the country, the world will become immortal abode.

Quest:— Why does defaulting in the observance of Istabhrity or Swastyayani ensue misfortune? Is this due to prenatal instinct and fear-stricken mentality?

Beloved the Lord:— Man has passions, and also has impulses of passion. These impulses go on recklessly, and spur man to commit offense, i.e. towards the actions antagonistic to the upliftment of the being. Those seek to overpower when we take the path of selfishness, then also our mentality and conduct comply with them. We move in such a manner that brings in trouble, calamity and misfortune. When one eats up things offered to Lord the Ideal, it means the impulse of passion has made him that much overwhelmed, and his inner adjustment has been broken to that extent. The consequence of that becomes liable to be what it should be. There are some kinds of indigenous symptoms. When death approaches, man commits wrong, speaks wrong, prefers such behaviour and company and finds such associates who may influence to drag him into a fatal situation. Consequences of all these come off automatically.

The Swastyayani’s maxims five

wreathing in character keep alive,

in your every word and behaviour

materializing those make brighter;

if you can move in this way

see that how your life will pay,

the suffering, injury, trouble unrest

however they create any threat,

your advancement goes on then

otherwise will never happen.

Swastyayani in society and country

the more you shall observe,

self sufficiently the autonomy comes

the more freedom shall serve.

Swastyayani is the life-insurance

this is the nation’s insurance too,

while neglecting the Swastyayani

to keep saving from earning-spending

be consistent in this very practice,

the key to shining the economy lies

there in the accomplishment of this;

hence I say to you crazy chap

the Swastyayani do you uphold,

be saved and let the nation be saved

don’t you take any other mould.

Whoever be under Swastyayani’s oath

he is upheld by life and growth—

Dharma remains his carrier,

upliftment of being and becoming

in the radiation of superb glowing

utterly crumbles all barrier.
