Live Free (Asarmukt)

18 | January 2016

Home Department Foreign Department Pujya Dadashri quite often used to mention two words in his satsangs - “Home department & Foreign department”. The deeper knowledge of the Soul (self) and Matter (Non-self) was explained by citing such commonly used phrases by Dadashri which are easy to understand by the present young generation.

As such the words “Home department & foreign department” are commonly used to differentiate two separate departments run by the Government. However, Pujya Dadashri has used these words to clearly distinguish the department of pure self and non-self very effectively.

Home department includes the matters pertaining to our true self and development there-of that enables us to realize the experience of our pure self. While foreign department deals with the matters pertaining to the duties and obligations in the relative world that needs to be completed with equanimity.

In general all those things which lead towards experience of self realization, absolute modesty to gnani, following the principles of gnani, worshiping our pure soul that results in achieving permanent happiness are classified under the ambit of “Home Department”. Whereas all the outer dealings in the world and the work of antahskaran (mind, intellect, chit, egoism) are to be understood as the work of Foreign department which are completely dependent on the scientific circumstantial evidences. To remain attached to these conditions will lengthen our ‘Sansara’ (cycle of birth and death).

Let us understand the meaning of these words in a deeper sense as elaborated by Pujya Dadashri.

‘If a big hurricane hits any Country and there is a loss of crores of rupees, five to twenty-five thousand people died, and then what will the Indian Parliament say to the foreign minister?’ They will say, ‘Brother, you come to my office. We will have to write a letter for that country.’ What letter will they write?

Questioner: The letter of condolence.

Dadashri: Yes. They will have to write a letter of condolence. So we know that ‘how much these people must be hurting so they are talking about writing a letter of condolence?’ But when we go there while they are writing a letter, we see that they have tea and snacks on their table. They will be having a tea and what will they ask to write, ‘We are expressing our condolences. People feel very much hurt in our country. We feel so sorry for the people who died over there. We do not like that. We will send you help in any case.’ Do you think they are asking him to write the right thing? Or do you think they are asking him to write the wrong thing? It is neither wrong nor right. So what can you call this? This is called superfluous. He is speaking superficially. We have to learn that. Remain superficial in foreign (the nonSelf) and remain in home (the Self) at ease. Did you like this talk or not? Remain superfluous!

It is so that all will remain superfluous in Foreign Affairs and exact in Home Affairs. When the talk came about foreign then superficial; grief and sympathy would be superficial. Nothing would be there from inside. They will have tea and snacks behind closed doors. They will remain completely superfluous there.

Similarly we have also two departments inside. Home (the Self) and foreign (the nonSelf). It is worth staying superfluous in the foreign department. And one has to remain precise in the home department. It is worth staying exact for only one’s own self. Otherwise, it is worth staying superfluous in worldly life interactions of mind-speech-action, like in foreign affairs.

All these files of the foreign (the non-self) department should not be taken into the home (the Self) department. You should leave outside the files of the foreign department and then go the home department. It is when one makes a mistake that problems arise.

Experience

Dharmesh Desai

On 26th January 2001, there was a massive earthquake in Kutch. I, my wife and daughter got buried under the debris and for nearly eight hours we remained there.

Immediately when the building collapsed, we were aware of Dada’s Gnan! My little daughter was under the debris but we couldn’t see her, we could only hear her voice.

My wife was beside me and her leg was broken into two parts. When this sudden incident happened, we had particularly experienced that although we saw all this happening in front of our eyes, we had got buried under the debris, yet there was no ‘suffering’ within. For nearly half an hour we went on talking to our daughter. At short intervals she went on chanting ‘Dada Bhagwan na Asim Jay Jay Kar Ho’; ‘Hoon Shuddhatma Chhu’, ‘Jay satchitanand‘ and finally passed away chanting ‘Dada’ And ‘Niruma’, within half an hour!

During those moments, without effort, we remained in awareness of Dada’s Gnan and remained untouched by any suffering. During that time, one divine experience occurred, which was beyond one’s intellect.

Nevertheless, from the time we were buried under the debris till the time we were rescued, there was continuous fragrance of sandalwood around us, which both my wife and I felt. In the next building a gas cylinder had burst and fire had engulfed the house, in spite of that smell fragrance of sandalwood was much stronger. Every second we were aware of the subtle presence of Dadashri and Pujya Niruma with us. Mainly, it was Dada’s ‘science’ which was effective, otherwise such a ‘miracle’ was impossible. If one is in awareness of ‘Akram Science’ then one can survive under any circumstance, 100% without an suffering. This I have actually experienced and it is my intense wish that the happiness which I have gained, may all get the same.

Dadashri’s Janmajayanti 108 @ Pune was a huge success with Mahatma’s asarmukt dasha and adjust everywhere spirit.

Behind the scenes, this event was organized amidst a natural calamity – “Rain”.

Event started on time… 22nd Nov 2015, 5pm. But heavy rain showers on 23rd and 24th Nov day and night, brought the event to a standstill for normal public. All arrangements were disturbed. Then too with just a day for reconciliation, Anand Nagari opened once again to public from 26th Nov, 5pm onwards.

Let us hear about some behind the scene experiences of sevarthis who with their immense faith in Dadashri, Niruma and Pujyashri overcame this natural calamity to share Dada’s AnandNagari with Pune Citizens.

Sevarthi Experiences

P

ujyashree had said, “Nature takes its own course and we have to just adjust to Nature”. All the 3,500 ‘sevarthis’ who were toiling there held on to Dadashri’s 3rd Agna of ‘Vyavasthit’.

Everyone’s presence of mind was unshaken, that Janma Jayanti will be definitely celebrated in Pune, on time. None of the sevarthis were worried even a bit about their boarding and lodging. All the mahatmas experienced Pujya Niruma’s and Pujya Deepakbhai’s unflinching grace on them was the reason behind their tremendous faith in Dada’s Gnan.

- Kishore Keraliya, Children’s Park uring Pujyashri’s satsang, rain-water had started dripping from several areas of the roof of the hall, yet the devotees would move on to dry areas and get engrossed in the satsang as if nothing had disturbed them! All the volunteers used to help one another although they were completely drenched. Next morning when they were provided lodging, none had any questions or complaints but all adjusted with one another keeping in mind Dada’s 4th Agna.

ll of us were sleeping inside the puppet show dome, when the water had started seeping inside the dome during the night. However, none of the sevarthis girls created any chaos. All of us were firm in our belief that Dada, Niruma and celestial beings were with us so nothing harmful would happen. But students from local schools around Pune were expected and if they should miss out the ‘Gnan’ was the only disturbing thought which made us sad. But soon after, everything was once again set up and joy prevailed. Enthusiasm doubled within everybody. We all got ready to perform as many times as would be required.

ll the cooks who were present during Janma Jayanti were very positive saying, “Come what may…we will get drenched, but will continue to prepare all the meals.” Due to power failure, sevarthis served dinner with the help of ‘mobile light’.

Besides this, due to the rain, the sevarthis helped in shifting and setting up the kitchen from one place to another within a day! Yet, there was no sign of fatigue on anyone’s face. Instead, there was joyful mood everywhere.

n seeing the sudden change of environment, Pujyashri had said, “We will be facing lots of Nature’s fury, but not a single volunteer or mahatma will be affected.” With such blessings of Pujyashri, volunteers had become positive for all dealings. In spite of the downpour during the night, volunteers remained awake to make arrangements for the lodging of mahatmas and were constantly thoughtful about their safety and their belongings. In this heavy rain, finally around 3.00 am (past midnight), sleeping arrangements were made in the ‘parking’ area of a commercial complex nearby, but not a single mahatma had any complaint.

n gyanvidhi dome, there were only three persons present when it started raining. Suddenly two sevarthis from nearby domes came to our help. Just so that Gnanvidhi Forms and other necessary items may not get damaged due to the rains, they stored them in safe place. In order to take care of these items, some mahatmas had to spend the night sleeping on the tables in that dome. All of them stated that they had slept better than at home! All volunteers had to carry out each task two to three times but they were neither upset nor tired. Moreover, they thought that in spite of hardships; they would put in their best efforts as ‘non-doer’. The new seekers should not be deprived of receiving Dada’s Gnan!

uring the night of heavy rains, some people were inside the ‘satsang’ dome while some people were sleeping inside ‘Aagbabula’ dome. When water started collecting inside other domes, ‘sevarthis’ from Aagbabula dome rushed to their help. They got completely drenched while diverting the flow of gushing water. Water had started collecting on the plastic-sheet roofs of domes. To avoid further damage, they tried to spill out the water by slashing the plastic or tilting the plastic with sticks. Their constant attempt was towards the comfort of the ‘mahatmas’. It stopped raining the next day, but a lot of damage had been caused. Within just one and half day the dome was re-done! Single-mindedly, everyone worked with the belief that it was Dada’s ‘Jagat Kalyan’ project, and positively held on to it so that more people could receive Dada’s Gnan.

uring this mishap, we experienced the 3rd Agna of Dada and on realizing that the whole world is manipulated by ‘Vyavasthit Shakti’ we remained unshaken. Come what may, we would participate in the Janma Jayanti celebration was our constant positive thought. Instead of decreasing, our enthusiasm increased and it resulted in firm bond with one another. Our liking for one another also increased.
