Man is just running in the modern machine age. A dead machine is reviving him and moving forward. Far away man has travelled to space. So far is good. But with this, people have lost their sense of humanity in our life & society. Human beings want to rise above worldly power. But he will not be able to overcome this Divine Power of the world. The great Mahishasura thought the woman was negligible but he died at the hands of this woman (Durga). He tried to hold the world in his hands. But he failed.
We worship the woman as motherly wisdom. We can awaken our sense of conscience only by worshipping women as maternal wisdom. Humanity will awaken. Only then the modern machines will work. Otherwise, it is impossible. Take a vow in ‘Matri Aradhana’. You will see that Mother has arranged everything for you. We do not have to ask for anything. She will give everything herself. Let our self-development happen.
I believe the Mother did not come to the Earth on the occasion of Durga Puja. Because her devotees cut off the mother’s hands, Lakshmi Saraswati’s body was dismembered and sacrificed. Again, during the sacrifice, Mother Durga’s body caught fire. Did Mother really come to the Physical World? Mother did not come. Mother cannot come in such a theme, so much pomp. Where is the devotion? My mortuary mother was at the crematorium.
What a wonder! How our life & society has changed. Love and affection are all lost. Bad qualities of human beings like – Jealousy, hatred, satanic desire, and slander have come and spread all through our life & society. Sweet smile is forgotten, love, and tenderness are forgotten. There has been a lot of change in clothes, change in speech, change of work, change of behaviour etc. are seen in the society. People are only busy with themselves now. Busy with their family.

There are no people like before. I got shelter in the house of strangers. They gave me two handfuls to eat. They had good manners. They gave my mother good wisdom. I have grown up to be a man with their love. They never let me feel that they are not my own relatives. I will not get back to this life again. People will never smile again. The flowers of that tree will not bloom. The people of this cruel world will take it away before the flowers bloom. That’s a lot of talk. Now, I am just counting the days.
It is very difficult to practice religion. A man has to walk through fire. Even if his feet are touched by fire, even if his feet are slightly burnt, God himself heals the wound. Like Sudama’s wound of the leg was healed by God himself. But what about them – those who are completely social, completely realists? They have their danger in every step. They have no religion or knowledge. They think this is good. As a result, they put their hands and feet in the fire knowingly. And they are not spared from that fire. While hitting Religion (dharma), they themselves get injured. All their parts are twisted and burned.
Don’t you see today in our life & society, that people like this killed a woman unjustly and brutally, what is happening to them? The lamp of religion is very bright. It burns brightly. It makes your life great. Avoid wrongdoing. Get peace. You can sleep comfortably for at least one night. Be well. You don’t have to kill the demon. Mother Goddess is there, she will kill the demon herself.
Why did the Supreme Power create ‘Devatas’ and ‘Demons’? The ‘Devatas’ and ‘Demons’ of the heaven became the ‘Enemies’ and ‘Allies’ in the Earth. ‘Devata’ means friend and ‘Demon’ means enemy, whichever way you interpret it will be like this. Gods are of ‘Sattvik Prakriti’ i.e. they are honest. They are honest but sometimes make mistakes. The ‘Devatas’ once became very proud. They thought the world was like a boul. Then the Supreme Power created enemies of the ‘Devatas’ to show that he was the one & only by creating the ‘Demons’. Similarly, those who are good-natured in this world are gods and those who are bad-natured are demons. When an honest person becomes very proud, the enemy of that person comes and stings him. And in that sting the person becomes self-conscious. Perhaps he forgot that he was honest or like a god. In this way, the Supreme Power instructs honest people or gods to explain that He (Supreme Power) is “one and unique”.
We don’t know what we are doing. We think we have seized other people too much. But the idea of the people is wrong. The Supreme Power seizes people more than anything. If the Supreme Power does more sizing to human beings, it doesn’t even take a moment to charge him with his wealth and even make him penniless. This is the proof. So be careful when you do something think about the Supreme Power.
I am telling an unpleasant truth here for the society. Mother Durga no longer comes to her father’s house to the Earth. Now the Earth is full of packages of themes. How will she come to the Earth whose husband is a beggar, whose place is in a crematorium – will she live in a man-made theme palace? Bhakti has faded away and turned into royalty. I am telling the truth, the Mother does not come to the Earth anymore if someone can call her from the hut, only then one can meet the Mother in the hut.
I had a strange dream last night. One of my students gave me two small Hog plums, one of those two Hog plums was half-eaten, or as we crushed it. I did not understand the meaning of the dream at that time. I got the meaning of the dream when I woke up in the morning. Between the two Hog plums, the whole Hog plum was my ‘good karma’ and the Hog plum which was half-eaten was my ‘bad karma’.
Let us come to the explanation. Man has two ‘karmas’. One is good karma, and one is bad karma. People do some good deeds and some bad deeds after they are born on the earth. Good deeds cover bad deeds. We are descendants of gods and sages. Our real home is not here. We have lost our divinity because of our bad deeds. That is why we are born as human beings. If we sit a little in silence, we will understand what evil deeds we have done. So let us all try to achieve two whole Hog plums (virtuous actions) in our lives.
