PROLOGUE
It was the final hour of the last trading day at a
nearby local fair. I somehow managed to enter the officiallyclosed fair. The entire arena seemed wrecked with almostshredded infrastructure with the tired traders trudgingamidst dusty clouds. Some traders were busy uprootingtheir tents while some others were busy packaging theirunsold left outs, to be sold in some other fair. A few ofthem were dusting their sacs with the remainingbelongings raised on their heads. At the end of the vendingzone, I could hear a roar of laughter. When my eagernessdragged me there, I found some vendors washing theirhands merrily for their entire burden that belonged to themwas sold out and they never had to return back to anyother fair until they deliberately gather some new burden.Their satisfied faces made me happy too till my eyes rolledon a few saddened traders. Their well-decorated shopswere filled with unsold goods. Their degree of sadnesswas proportionate to the multifarious lights and attractingmusic of their shops. May be to attain that final solaceand return with washed hands, these loaded vendors haveto suffer infinite fairs. The entire place was cleaned withinhours before midnight, but the dying fair left an aroma offresh thought in my mind; and watered the forgotten feelingin the heart, the karmic basis of our very existence.
The outward happiness and worldly success can
never subside the gray of our lives, the inherent sufferings
that guide our lives to proceed further and suffer more. It
is because we deal with the objective effect without
analyzing the subjective cause. We exist and suffer due
to ourselves, our past deeds and will suffer due to our
present unless we nullify them. It requires us to be
conscious of our deeds and to dedicate them to the
inherent doer transferring the authority to Him without a
trace of ego. Until all the deeds pending are suffered
consciously and present deeds are dedicated, the soul
can never sail beyond the horizons of pain and sufferings,
revolving with the body in birth-death cycles timelessly.
We should mould our skeptical and egoistic lives to the
tune of Divinity and experience the ecstasy through
devotion to the Supreme Lord. The Lord comes down to
earth in flesh and blood as incarnations to preach us the
reality of this transient material world and the ways to liberate
to His lotus feet.
One such Divine incarnations who showed the
suffering mankind the light of salvation and made them
realize the infinite consciousness within, was Jagatguru
Thakur Shri Shri Shri Abhiram Paramahansa Dev. His
philosophy reveals the deepest secrets of Karmic theory
and analyses in greater details the principles of yoga,
Knowledge, devotion and liberation. This book comprises
of His Divine sayings which uncovers all delusions and
when practiced releases the bonded soul, baptizing the
mankind towards immortality. These eternal metaphysical
thoughts which embed within the essence of entire Vedic
literature, has been collected from His sayings which He
had taught to His devotees and saints during His self willed
mortal lifetime and Divine plays. Any errata may kindly be
forgiven as a misinterpretation of an amateur aspirant.
With reverence, I convey my heartfelt obeisance
to my parents, whose blessings bred inspiration in me to
initiate this noble work and whose enthusiasm made it
complete. I express my gratitude to my sister for her
unending delight and joy throughout the work. I shall remain
grateful to all my well-wishers for their support and
encouragement.
I am also thankful to the publisher for his eagerness
and effort in publishing it within schedule.
Lastly, I shall ever remain indebted at the lotus-
feet of Shri Thakur for guiding me in everything and doing
His work though me. Let the readers of this book and those
who promulgate these eternal sayings be blessed and
liberated by my ever-merciful Shri Thakur.
- The Author
Unconditionally everyone loves his own possessions
and never lets them get destroyed by their own means.
So is with the ever-merciful and benevolent Lord. He
loves all from the core of His heart. Often it is the mortal
who becomes unfaithful and mendacious towards his
master.
Heartfelt repentance for the past undedicated deeds
and blind faith on the Guru as his eternal well-wisher
are the pre-requisites for deliverance and unification
with the Supreme.
Until ‘me’ and ‘mine’ are consciously replaced with
‘you’ and ‘yours’, liberation is imaginary.
THE DIVINE DEWS
A Hymn for HIM
Cannot inhabit with Your inherited nature
for She has afflicted my Divine cores;
My recurrsive births will finally fructify
If You aptly deny not that I am Yours.
Renovate Your hidden presence in me
for I know not what my soul needs;
Slurry of ignorance is dragging me deep
I am snarled in unconscious deeds.
Your blessings will indubitably supercede
my sufferings amidst these alien crews;
I am spryly rejoiced and serenly hopeful
for I abide by Your eternal Divine Dews.
- The Author
Knowledge is the necessary and devotion is the
sufficient condition in the avenue of Divine realization.
You have to suffer for whatever you do, good or bad,
for attaining a higher birth through good deeds is also a
suffering. Dedicate all your deeds to the Lord and when
He becomes the doer, you don’t have to suffer for that.
‘I’ should be acquiesced for the innerself as a part of
the Supreme Self and not for the mutable mortal frame.
The initiation of a desire is due to the fulfillment of
some other desire. Be desireless. Even if the desire to
be desireless exists, you are not absolutely desireless.
Man dancing to the tunes of evil senses and trundling
for the fulfillment of material desires can never attain
Divinity and eternal solace, as a housefly can never
get nectar from a filthy wound.
Ignorance of the absolute reality is the primal cause
of all sufferings.
Man cannot be attached to the imperfect ever-
changing world and the absolute perfect at the same
time. He has to renounce one for the other.
Selfless devotion is the end of all knowledge and the
realization of the presence of Divine in the life-breath
is the end of all natal ignorance.
THE DIVINE DEWS 32 THE DIVINE DEWS
The macrocosm (brahmanda) resides implicitly inside
the microcosm (pinda). You and the universe are not
mutually exclusive; the external distinction is a mere
symbolic drama.
Successive birth is guided by the train of thoughts at
the time of death and nature of deeds performed in the
previous birth.
Those who awaken and raise their latent kundalini to
the highest level along the six nerve plexuses through
yogic trances witness divine play.
Be not desireful for anything in the world but for Self-
realization.
THE DIVINE DEWS 54 THE DIVINE DEWS
Never feel inferior of yourself by considering yourself
as the body. You are above the five elements, the
senses, the mind and the intellect. You are the
conscious and dynamic fragment of the Supreme Lord.
Maya or ignorance is the feminine derivative of the
Supreme Lord. Once the Self is realized, Maya looses
its existence.
Never hate or be jealous of anybody for the Divine that
dwells in you dwells in them too without any slightest
deviation. It is an act of foolishness to differentiate based
on the deeds performed by the perishable body and
the nature of thoughts by the imperfect mind.
THE DIVINE DEWS 76 THE DIVINE DEWS
The more you attach yourself with your body and
earthly relations, the more you sink down yourself into
ignorance and unavoidable sufferings.
All men take birth in this world to die, but a few
conscious and Self realized men die never to take birth
again.
The Supreme Lord tests His disciples in His own
unique ways. And the test becomes harder as the
disciple reaches higher levels of realization. Some
superficial performers get out-tracked molding
themselves into atheists. But the real and refined
karma-sanyasi’s get embraced by the Lord.
Heterogeneity of the universe is but the ignorance of
the reality.
The witnessing of duality (dwaityavada) is the means
and the realization of uniqueness (adwaityavada) is the
end for deliverance.
A dog bites a dry bone with the desire of meat. The
gums bleed and the dog thinks that the blood is from
the bone and bites even more firmly wounding the
gums even deeper. Similarly, the ignorant never
detaches himself from material desires and becomes
a slave to his grimy senses.
THE DIVINE DEWS 98 THE DIVINE DEWS
Without the grace and blessings of the Guru, even the
deepest study of spiritual scriptures and multi-
dimensional analysis of Godhead goes in vain.
Forget not that your have been mortal ized to
renunciate materiality and liberate the soul.
The paddy fields turn yellowish and dry during
scorching heat and seem lifeless. But a spell of rain
recharges it with new vigor and vitality. Blessings of
the Guru can show miracles and unbelievable
coincidences in a true devotee’s life.
Performing evil deeds is homogeneous with letting
others do the same.
Let not your heart be contaminated with hatredness,
jealousy and ego, for it is the abode of the beloved Lord.
Those who have completely surrendered themselves
unto the lotus feet of their Guru are hardly affected by
the satanic forces of the universe and the planetary
designs of their fate.
Let all your desires go unfulfilled and passions soiled,
but the desire to be in loving service of the Lord as a
servitor.
If your Guru is pleased with your Karma, there remains
nothing for you to do, in this and successive births.
THE DIVINE DEWS 1110 THE DIVINE DEWS
Always make company with saints, sages and Self-
realized ones and never let your senses bank with evil-
minded ones. Then only your mind and the body will
gradually be purified from within through their holy
induction and Divine osmosis.
Escapists boast themselves for their good deeds and
announce their unsuccessful attempts and failures as
Lord’s wish. Their dependence on the Lord even in
their low times are mere pretensions and they always
remain at a greater distance from the grace of the Lord.
Every undedicated and unconscious breath taken is
liable for suffering in this or subsequent births.
Let the wandering feet of your mind march towards
the heart, the abode of the Lord, for boundless pleasure
and immeasurable peace.
All religions and sects are but different avenues to
realize and attain the same Supreme Lord. Only the
unqualified differentiate between them and wander
along the birth-death cycle for infinite ages.
The ever-merciful Supreme Lord will perform all
actions on your behalf and will guard from all evils, if
you are completely surrendered and dependent on Him
without a marginal trace of doubt.
THE DIVINE DEWS 1312 THE DIVINE DEWS
The Jivatma, which is a fragment of the Paramatma
should experience the uniqueness of the Supreme Lord
through external meditation and should witness the
duality in Divine play through internal meditation.
What is destined to happen will happen. You suffer due
to your own karma. No one can modify your past deeds
and amend your suffering by forgiving your sins, but
your Guru.
There is indifference between your Guru and the
Supreme Lord. If you find any difference, it is due to
your fate, to suffer more.
As the sun remains hidden behind the dark clouds in a
rainy day, the Supreme Lord moves the universe behind
the veil of Maya. Only those blessed by the Lord realize
this transparency and enjoy the Divinity in the creation.
Desireless actions can only lead to liberation of the
soul. But in this Iron Age it becomes difficult to perform
these amidst of the diverting forces acting on the mind
and the body. Hence, go on dedicating your deeds to
the Lord as much as possible and you will reach the
desireless state thereof.
Hearts filled with pure love and devotion for the Lord
are at infinitely higher levels than the brains stacked
with dry intellectualism.
THE DIVINE DEWS 1514 THE DIVINE DEWS
Taking mere birth in a higher caste does not make
anybody more finer and never helps in the upward
movement of the soul, but the deeds performed in this
and previous births.
Deeds performed through ajapa-sutra or in the chant-
less state are fruitless and thus the practitioner never
suffers for these effect-less causes.
Delay not in performing auspicious and pious deeds,
and hasten not in fulfilling the lower evil deeds. That
those who are at a distance from auspicious and
selfless deeds, never levitate to me.
It is only the consciousness, which can intervene in
the Divine play and unify the Jiva and Parama driving
the mortal to a chantless state.
Performing exhaustive rituals and outward spiritual
exhibitions are meaningless without unconditional love
and Divine emotion in the heart for your Guru.
Not attaining the desired objects and attainment of
undesired ones are the modes of suffering for the
ignorant. Whatever you have attained is what you really
deserve for and heartfelt acceptance of this is a sign
of spiritual refinement.
THE DIVINE DEWS 1716 THE DIVINE DEWS
Direct all your diffused thoughts and discrete precepts
into Divine consciousness and make the vacillation of
the mind be fixed on your Guru.
The heart of the Lord is ever merciful not only for those
who are intensely devoted but also for them who flout
and are cruel; for He is equally concerned for all His
children, however they may be.
Never be a misogynist. Witness Divine mother in all
women for they are the sources of all affection.
Death of the physical body is never the end, till the last
unsufferred deed is suffered without desire.
The degree of awakening of inner consciousness is
proportional to the isolation of the mind from worldly
desires and the extent of dispassion for the earthly
attachments including ones own body.
The Lord accepts whatever, in every sense of the word,
if offered with fullest of devotion and without any desire.
You are a mere dumb instrument and I am the player. I
choose and play the tune according to my will and desire.
Your noble work should coincide with your words and
thought. Mere recitation of the word sugar will never
bring sweetness to the mouth.
THE DIVINE DEWS 1918 THE DIVINE DEWS
Never wander insanely for the vision of the Lord. If your
devotion is perfect and heart stainless, the Lord will
appear before you in flesh and blood.
Convincing the atheist about the existence of Lord is
a sheer waste of time. Never attempt to change others.
You can’t, till they realize themselves. In turn they may
change your age-old belief. Stay away from them.
Dry intellects dictate that every thing in this creation is
unreal and ignorance. If it is so, their mind and intellect,
the derivatives of this creation are unreal. Then how
can be their thoughts be real and ideas be conclusions?
For the truly devoted, there is omnipresent Divine and
no ignorance.
The disciple, who engages himself in the loving service
of his Guru with reverential attitude, attains the highest
of Supreme knowledge.
There is no place where the Lord does not exist. The
creator always remains with his creation. It is the ego
that veils this fact through irrational logic and
asymmetric pseudo intuitions.
The probability of nullifying your karmic depositions
without the blessings of your Guru is void.
Don’t be conscious of others but of the Self, residing
within, which can nullify the sheaths of prarabdha karma.
THE DIVINE DEWS 2120 THE DIVINE DEWS
To diversify is mortality and to unify is immortality.
Let your consciousness steer your intellect and the
intellect meditate on the dotty mind through the breath.
When the mind at this stage drives the nature through
the senses, the deeds become Divine.
It is neither a compulsion nor a necessity to renounce
your worldly deeds and duties for the path of Divinity.
Often this becomes an excuse for the laze. If your mind
is focused on the Lord, the bodily activities hardly make
any impact.
The elementary substratum of faith, devotion and
knowledge are not different.
The Divine plays on the breath in alternating solar and
lunar phases making unique vibrations; and those who
witness these through deep yogic practices go beyond
the binding orbit of Maya.
Devote yourself to the Lord as early as possible in this
awarded life, for there is uncertainty in another human
birth. Don’t waste births in gratifying the senses, and
don’t let your soul suffer more through bondage.
The water from the holy rivers can never wash your
sins away and please the Lord; but your tears of love
for the Lord. These tears from the precipitation of
heartily devotion, satisfies the Lord.
THE DIVINE DEWS 2322 THE DIVINE DEWS
If all dogs will go to heaven, there will remain none to
lick the ophal leaves here.
Everything can be mastered through spiritual practices
and ethical austere lifestyle, but devotion or the Divine
emotion, which can only be attained by the blessings
of your Guru.
Expertise over Supreme knowledge by swatting large
volumes without spiritual experience goes in vain.
Those who deliberately expose their devotion for
pageantry and cachet, devastate their own selves with
their ego.
Only the knowledged realize that they are ignorant and
they exist in this material world because of their
ignorance.
You cannot hide or diddle anything form the vigilant
eyes of the omnipresent Lord whose relation with you
is pre-embryonic.
Devotion germinates from emotion and unconditional
devotion leads to salvation.
Our body is a temple. Slay all the lower modes of nature
like ego, anger, jealousy, fear and hatredness that
corrode it.
THE DIVINE DEWS 2524 THE DIVINE DEWS
Ignore anything and anyone who come between you and
your Lord. And those who ignore these virtual intermediate
elements never get the pure perception of truth.
The emergence of a spiritually realized Guru into your
life marks the beginning of your internal purification
and ends in liberation.
It is a compulsion beyond doubt for the Lord to fulfill
the wishes of the true devotees, who have renounced
the world for Him.
The incidence of Guru’s blessings shows miraculous
and mesmerizing coincidences in a devotee’s life.
Never fall prey to the illusive design patterns of the
world. These will give you more sufferings by the
imperfect pleasure they radiate.
Never let your vital energy get minimized by serving
your unsatisfying senses. Deploy it to realize the infinite
consciousness and attain immortality.
If the dirge of the soul goes unheard, the prayers go
unanswered too, and you always remain asymptotic
to the objectless ecstasy.
As the tortoise withdraws its limbs, withdraw your
senses inward from outward falsity to serve the real
inherent doer.
THE DIVINE DEWS 2726 THE DIVINE DEWS
A doll made of sugar gives the same sweetness when
any of its fragments is tasted. The akin exultation and
fragrance of Divinity can be experienced and felt from
any part of the creation.
Employ knowledge to wisely differentiate between the
intransient and the fleeting constituents of the creation,
as a royal swan segregates milk from water.
As the spoon remains unaffected inside the delicious
dishes, a karma-sanyasi remains unattached and
impassive to the deeds he performs even in the midst
of his bodily satisfactions.
Tame your uncontrolled wavering mind affecting the
Jiva by the goad of Supreme knowledge.
The disciplined minds, which remain suzzled by the
nectar of the Divine hardly, get sullied with sorrows
and lower desires.
To discard all that are worldly known is to gain true
knowledge about the uncreated and indestructible soul.
Be egoistic that you are the vassal of the Lord beyond time
and let this ego be envied by the imperfect material egos.
THE DIVINE DEWS 2928 THE DIVINE DEWS
All rivers will merge in the ocean however diverging
and disastrous the route may be. Even those which
dryout on the way, join the stream through clouds.
Similarly all creatures will merge in me finally
irrespective of the number of births they take.
Human deeds are guided by the three modes (gunas)
of nature derived from ego and lets the mortal to suffer
in three-fold miseries (tritapa). Those who raise
themselves above these modes experience the
modeless Divine (nirguna Brahman).
Why you are worrying with the darkness of the night?
Have steady faith on your Lord and rejoice as the
darkness deepens; the dawn is nearing.
Rightly perform your duties before the dusk becomes darker
otherwise you will be left out till the glory of the sun shines.
In this Iron Age, confusion and suspicion prevails
concerning the identify of a Guru. Guru is beyond any
physical form and is an eternal principle.
There is hardly anything to chant externally; for the Divine
chant is performed on the life breath of a mortal from the
day his soul descends down. Only the rare know this
and become a conscious observer of this chant.
It is the joy of nature when the mortal un-naturally
forgets his source of which he is a conscious derivative.
THE DIVINE DEWS 3130 THE DIVINE DEWS
As the spider patterns the web by its own secretion
and withdraws it by its own discretion, the Supreme
Lord creates and dissolutes His cosmic creation
through His own free will and desire.
The newborn cuckoo returns to his mother after taking
birth inside the crow’s nest. But the nourishment with the
crows never affects the sweetness of the cuckoo’s voice.
Similarly you, the part of the Divine can never be permanent
in this alien world and will return to your creator one day,
in your purest native form.
Never get deluded by parallel authorities of knowledge
and indulge in spiritual paradoxes. Abide with obedience
to a single authority and you will reach the Supreme
Being.
As the lotus remains unaffected amidst the sinking mud
and stinking mire, the immortal soul remains untouched
from the mortal body and the material creation.
Human birth is not to synthesize the mechanical
repetition of his mortality but to apparently synchronize
the Divine breath with the timelessly chanting infinite
Divine consciousness.
It is with the blessings of the Supreme Lord in the form
of Guru the devotee realizes that nothing in or above
this creation can liberate his soul by ceasing further
bodily manifestations, but the blessings of his Guru.
