(The article is one of the unpublished papers of
Dr. K. C. Varadachari and did not carry any
Title. Taking consideration the purport of the
article the topic has been named. A few changes
and incorporations from the writings of Rev.
Babuji, had to be made in the paper and this was
done by me. It is hoped that readers will get
the spirit behind the system and everyone
responds according to the need of times. -

Narayana). "We are all brethren connected
intellectually, morally and spiritually - the
main goal of human life. This and that have gone
now. There remains the purity alone in all His
work and environment which weaves the spiritual
destiny of the persons with the Ultimate"
Message of Rev. Babuji Maharaj on 30.1.1982. The
spirit of this call delivered just about an year
before the Master shed His mortal coil was well
anticipated by Dr. K. C. V. in the article that
follows.
Too easily the old habits and practices creep
in and pollute the pure spiritual atmosphere
sought to be perpetuated by Master in his
infinite zeal to better humanity. Amazingly
great rationalizations are given for habits and
actions which show human weakness rather his
awareness of Master. Pure devotion to Master
gets unfortunately confused with slavery and
slavish practices of the past: despite clear
warnings by the Master in person as also in his
works. Human nature does not seem to want Master
and masterliness but continue as Brute and seek
Slavery. Divinisation of humanity perhaps is the
goal of Nature and Man seems to be totally
unprepared for, nay unwilling for it. (The
readers may note here the concept of Living
Masters and the slavish and abject submission
towards them not for Freedom but for relief of
various kinds. Their number which is swelling by
the day, no wonder, is just a manifestation of
the old habits of Gurudom. K.C.N.)
The need for another Darshana or system of
spirituality can be justified only if we accept
the goal of Divinisation of Man. If this system
is to be one more method of attaining
"liberation" - then it is just one more. But the
call of the Master is not to liberate a few
souls, who come to his fold.
The cry of Nature to make Man live at peace
with his fellow beings and other species has
been there for over few millennia. But the
concept of brotherhood and peaceful co-existence
has been only voiced from all floors and rarely
do we find it practiced.
Liberty, Equality and Fraternity are the
three basic spiritual values aspiring to become
secular. In the process we find the deep rooted
"selfishness" in Man, the sworn enemy of all
spiritual values using these three concepts for
its own purposes, resulting in all round
hypocrisy. While every leader, political or
spiritual voices these values, they neither
believe in them nor really want them to find any
place in our life. The vocal transmission given
to these values have sufficiently grossened them
and solidified them - that we finally find these
today as "idols" used to deceive the mankind.
Poor souls are not aware that Nature has its own
design to meet the situation!
The values of Liberty and Equality are more
spiritual and perhaps need more time to find
expression in mundane matters; life being what
it is, variance and difference are in built.
Except for the feature all came from the
Primordial one, equality is hard to accept.
Liberty or Freedom is bound by responsibilities.
But Fraternity has no restraints. It can be
expressed by one and all. It is possible to
behave in a brotherly way with all. Yet we have
failed God for so many years, with our
properties, nations, races, sexes and other
distinctions. NATURE DEMANDS THAT UNIVERSAL
BROTHERHOOD BECOMES A FACT BEFORE IT TAKES UP
THE WORK OF DIVINISATION OF MAN. (Capitals not
in original). The thought of brotherhood, which
was one of essential sharing in the tribal
cultures to the concept of tolerance of others
views in the modern world is by itself an
interesting study in the evolution of Man. But
his destiny is far beyond; almost a journey to
the Infinite. The Divine Will to find expression
of its Glory in Nature has but found so far
little success. Human being with its meal of
"selfishness" has been obstructing the
expression of Divinity in him and so of nature.
NATURE IS JUST IMPATIENT AND THE DIVINE
PERSONALITY (REV. BABUJI - editor) IS EQUALLY
INTERESTED TO EXPEDITE THE DIVINISATION OF MAN -
THE HOPE OF GOD - WHO CREATED him IN HIS IMAGE -
meaning thereby that he is granted the original
thought - the kingly aspect in Man and Nature.
The New Darshana is for those who participate
in the Divine Work of Divinising Man - rather
than those who seek individual transformation.
The assurance of Master that He is taking care
of every abhyasi and that every abhyasi should
spread the message means that every one should
actively participate in bringing about
simplicity, purity and fraternal feeling in all,
not worrying about his own realization. It is
not therefore meant that one should not have the
craving. It is a must, it is the promise and it
is the beginning. But that is not the work of
the Master nor is it His mission.
Those saints who seek individual salvation
only are comparable to those who are selected to
play a cricket match, seeing the strong opponent
side (evils in life) walk back to the Manager
praying to Him to allow them sit in the
pavillion due to their inadequate capacities, or
more appropriately to Uttara Kumara who having
started for the battle with Kauravas seeing
their might wanted to flee. The uniform worn by
him (the abhyas of Ten Commandments etc.,), the
refuge he has in Brhannala (the veiled Master)
not withstanding he wanted to flee (so are those
who seek liberation from life and who do not
want to better the lot of man.). The Ten
Commandments, the practice of meditation are but
uniforms that the sadhaka has to wear. No doubt
they are to be pure and perfectly ironed. But
that is only a preparation. The individual
elevation in consciousness is but a step in the
greater task of Divinisation of Man. If every
abhyasi really believes in the Master, he has
the onerous responsibility of shedding through
his actions and behaviour the Radiance of the
Divine Personality deeply imbedded in him. He
should be conscious of the fact that he is
walking temple, in as much as Master is present
in his heart.
