I’m making it Live this has to be here because I Mo pap small good great thank youor good morning everybody dear and respected brothers and sisters I’m NC Krishna from Hyderabad we’re going to study together as part of the program which has been announced the way of self- knowledge by Madame r s
Berer the first printed page of the book it gives us information that this is a lecture given by her by rajaj which was called the blavy lecture delivered the annual Convention of the theosophical society in England and and uh this information is available in the book is not something which have Googled
And found out so the lecture was later near not okay I’m afraid of the blaring of not audible yeah okay okay the book which you’re going to study Self and this was actually and that was annual Convention of the internation of the philosopical Society England and the lecture was later produced and printed as a book with the phop publishing brother happens to be the father of Adam berer his books most of the books which
Might see this off Publishing House were also lectures were put in the shape of book so many books are there except few most of them are lectures given by him so Madam ra B had lectured at nard and all those produced as one book which was called human regeneration is
What topic that was a p topic and produce that book or produce those lectures not this book is a small book looks very small like at the feet the master is small and we think it’s small soy to understand but then it’s deceptively simple is not simple as it looks similarly this
Book also looks small but as EDM goes the good things come in small packages that’s what the English EDM say is and so we have uh this book which is looking small but is full of wisdom and you will watch for the wisdom rightly contains or conveys after
Perhaps going through the book all by yourself perhaps we’re going to touch only few aspects of the book maybe we can complete we may not complete but then the bir is given so that each individual when they go through the book they know what exactly the author or the speaker
Speaker meaning rajaj G what she was conveying we observing the birth cent of Madame rajaj she was born on 15th November 1933 so this year being 2023 we are observing of Madam rajaj and in many ways Raj was a simple straightforward person very firm ConEd exquisitly correctly without mincing words this is something
Which we all notice as we were young we were speaking to her or she was speaking to us at the youth LOD and all that we all know that she was our seventh International president and she served of society with distinction for 33 years she did her best to Value to the work
Done by our earlier pres as me daughter of brother SRI and another say she’s a chip old so she is someone who is very much interested in theosophy from the very young age and prior to this becoming the international president the general secretary see the board here with the general secretary
The Indian section 14 years so Brother sound is coming back okay 18 years I stand corrected 18 years 17 number so I went for that 17 right or 18 right okay I thought 17 somehow 1 goes well with the p numbers so both Brother s and Madame Raj lat and quality of the membership
Quality of the membership and they used to say Quantity should go up quantity should go up but without diluting the quality this is the dictum the quantity can go up but without the quality being diluted she used to give address to new members in first category and she would say that used to
Happen not in the convention Place convention is closed by then so we used to meet we also used to listen how the address was meant for new people new members and she would say people have joined to make philosophy into a reality their Liv theosophy should make a difference
In their lives this is what she used to say why how if the principles are applied the principles of theosophy have applied then she would say the members who join will become not only the members of the theosophical society they will be on the path to become theosophist the
Difference between member and a theosophist so you take it up seriously apply the principles live the theosophy yes you go forward as on the path to become a Theos this is what she used to urge the new members who joined so what are we supposed to do study understand assimilate the Ence and
With that Essence lead the right kind of life stress was on leading the right kind of life it is not out of fear you lead the right kind of life because punishment is there so you are acting good that’s not what Theos expects one to do so it is
Out of wisdom one leads the right kind of life through wisdom one leads the right kind of Life am I Disturbed yeah these bits of valuable information I have given of personal biography details is for those people perhaps who have not seen her alive or perhaps those people have not
Got those details into them so this is for their benefit a lot of people here I know who have worked with her and who have moved with her very closely and it’s not for them for them it’s carrying gold to new C it’s not that it’s for new
People who are assembled here some of them if they do not know Madam Raj it’s about the information which was given to convey the details what she was and she was such a splendid personality in one one word we can say she was inspiring to say the
Least and I would say by the grace of my maternal grand father who was also a national lectur and join General Secretary of the Indian section we were fortunate little bit as people who are very young inative period of our life so we lived in the TS
Campus the TS campus for number of years be 15 or 16 years and your was that’s me also had OCC to work withi and was guided helped by wisdom and her generosity one evening in the year 1972 I was doing my days I was sent to reach her next morning messenger
Came and told me that wants to see you in the morning I said really said yes supposed to go there so I reached residence very close to the Sea and uh I was waiting for about 2 three minutes and then she came from other room and she held my hand and said
Are you very well Madam how are you she said I’m doing well but I shock help I can do to you and then she said your grandfather to be here to take care of this conference since is somewhere to India I want you to fill the fill his shoes be the
Convener and uh I was pleasantly surprised I would say and I said you think I can manage you should be confident you young you should be confident that’s one message I got talking and then what would you like to have she said tea or coffee I said
Anything Madam because I don’t want to trouble her or trouble her attendant I said anything don’t you make Choice don’t you make right choice I said I have coffee that’s good he said this is how you know making choices being absolutely what supposed to do she was
Very very clear as to people should choose choice and she said I’m going to publish your name or send your name the Indian theosophist get ready to all that was done thanks to her because she guided me at every stage she was there available at so the sou conf
Went off very first time I rupes delegate fee theate Fe those days so that’s how she drafted me into her work and she guided me and that meeting and the later interactions with was a huge learning curve for me and she was extremely nice very very
Generous in her way of introducing me to the people and all that so I was quite fortunate I would say and another occasion another occasion where I would recall myself working with her for new life for IND visited all colleges in the city and uh would address the girls
And one college Stella College which is girls when she address and finished they said once more and she said this is not a drama I conveyed what I have to convey and that’s it so that’s how effective speaker she was you all know the new life in India
With an improvement what Raj had started as Ashok Shakra movement this new life in India movement was for giving proper inputs to youngers and the right values of citizenship and how to voice your opinions youngsters should know how to voice their opinions these are all the
Training which we got so I struck a personal note sorry I’ve done that because I would like to of course reframe but then talking about Raj and if I don’t mention how I benefited from her I thought I should tell what exactly happened between rajaj G how she was a teacher to
Me she was simple as I said loving kind at firm I’ll tell you one more example once we experiencing water shortage at ad the well which is there got dried up and then she to the meeting of all the residents we met at the and she would address all of that
And from the time you get up from the bed till you retire she reviewed all how much water each activity take can you can you get it that precise she that precise she was and her Clarity of explaining what we was amazing so precise yes why I’m saying this book The
Way of self- knowledge and Madam R we see there has that Clarity has the depth and wisdom which we can experience while studying this book all of you are with so we havean we have also have all the so so said this in this book we have R said and H
Mad and the Elder ones the Masters this so mostly it is their things which perhaps going to understand consider and move forward he says this lecture was so talking about Madame litski Raj says he quotes the words of teacher her teacher means man’s teacher in the words of
Teacher Master M and master K I mentioned the names because most of you perhaps are aware the names of inner Founders pH Society she meaning HB was a woman of most exceptional and wonderful Endor rajaj G says it’s be not only possessed the endowments of qualities which The Ordinary World
Recognizes HP not only the endowments and qualities which The Ordinary World recognizes like the artistic capacities he is a great piano player not many know about or the intellectual Brilliance they are of course outstanding in nature but Madam says R says her perceptive capabilities perception and perceptive
Capabilities says R to go deeply into the subject of human bondage that was something which was astounding so rajaj says we’ll have to pay homage to her because HPV has given her deep understanding to us about the problem of human bondage and deliverance of human bondage so HB has shed lot of
Light on that subject but Raj says we need to understand and find out the method through one’s own exertion she said it you have to study understand exert yourself not simply read and move away saying that yes I know this is normal practice like we go
To school or college this is how we pass exams here she says says you have to understand find out the method through one’s own exertion s exertion is s Evol one’s own method it’s not copying somebody else’s method evolve one’s own method and Raj says one might receive help from the
ELD on or the people who are well informed the wiser guys she says wiser people meaning presumably perhaps when we take one step forward that’s the what the one of the letter says when we take one step forward when we were exerting sincerely doing the S sincerely the higher ones the Learned
Ones Will perhaps step more towards us and help us to be on the path so it is the holistic life she’s talking about not the compartmentalized life like I have a personal life I have an official life I have a spiritual life it’s not the compartmentalization is talking about the holistic life the
Complete togetherness of life as it should be seen that’s what Madame G is suggesting so the teachers of Madame blit having observed her says Madame Raji over a period of time found Madame blavy to be a person with exceptional ability exceptional abilities that’s what hbb was so hbb hbb sense of commitment and
Dedication are not comparable incomparable in a way so hbb promised a teacher when she was 20 years old that she would work for the welfare of humanity because Master said I’m going to work for we are going to work for the welfare of humanity would you join us she said yes immediately she
Said yes and what Master cautioned her she would get more brick pths than bookes she would get she would get more brick PS than bookies so she said yes and kept her word in spite of lifethreatening BS of disease she had continuously the disease was pestering
Her but she went on for the work of teer she lived by her word she gave to the Masters this is commitment perhaps which we all have to perhaps understand and follow in our lives how what the commitment means lot of people say we have that written on our heart
Not on a piece of paper or a book it is written on our heart so it’s entirely through her efforts we have received the cont of Brahma vija thanks to mad we say thanks but we have to be completely be inded to her because she is the person who who
Also requested the Masters to write those letters to Mr CET and Mr Hume she was instrument and so we have the book the mahatma’s letters so there are two sources theosophy predominant sources one’s writings the second one or the primary one Master’s letters or the mahatma’s letters and she starts her subject
Proper by saying station again from the voice of the silence to reach Nana one must reach self knowledge to reach nirwana one must reach self- knowledge self- knowledge translated into Sanskrit means Atma viya and self- knowledge is loving Deeds of course there is couple of more words but this would
Make good reading and understanding purposes to reach Nana one must reach self knowledge and self knowledge is loving Deeds what is nirvana we will touch upon this briefly we not get into lot of details Madame BL has written about this extensively in her magnumopus the secred doctrine and in her writings too there’s
A lot of reference Nana Nirvana is a buddhistic term the voice of the silence for those people from T area giving this information perhaps you know this it is based on a was written in Tel and she translated it into English there were 93 EXs she picked up 39 that’s how the book
The Voice of Silence was made up and this information is only to infuse people from Tel knowing areas they pick up the book and make it into a s voes s is s Grand like at the feet of the master light in the path the three
Are called the S Gras and during the period of satti G we had that book published together three jewels so that was something which we all like simply than carries three small books and uh what exactly Nana means she says it is extinction of disappearance Extinction of
Disappearance of what we’ll go into it it is the highest state a man can reach the state of Enlightenment so what is that we extinguish it is Aida Aida means not having the proper knowledge which has all these contents like the Lust For Life greed hatred etc etc there’s so
Many things we can add on and in theat Dharma we talk about the six negative qualities Mo M and mat so these are the things which we are supposed to drop so my Guru who taught me r he said 60 means when you complete your 60th year the six
Should go you should become a zero the six should go and become a zero that’s this not that I’m getting into 61st year and celebrate it make it into a Grand Occasion that’s okay six you forget drop them so this six which we are talking about
Should get away or get dropped from our life so this is the Hindu terminology we comfortable sometimes using the Hindu terminology and MOA is another name another word we use frequently that is Liberation translated into English and uh staying in conjunction with Union with the par that’s the final thing MOA is
Liberation actually from all attachments when he is in that state where there no attachment perhaps he’s fit enough to go on get back to the source so this comes through S one can conquer all this through sad so exertion means exertion to do is not required man lives using his lower
Contary as way because this all philosophical Gathering there are some members perhaps who are audience who are non-members yes I would explain to them later but then we are all members of the theosophical society we know what is lary so the lower coary if we living We
Are continuing to live in an ordinary sense of the term but then when man lives or starts living with higher and staying there staying there then plane of buddhi and Atma sixth principle and the seventh principle seventh principle has if you are closer to sixth principle
C Atma has no vehicle has a vehicle uses the vehicle of the buddhi so if you’re near to budhi goes from the higher to the buddh plane that’s Enlightenment if you go in there your journey is so this is in brief the principles of n which he has talked about and we also
Hear at the Sans term budh budh means The Awakening of the intuition not the intelligence talking intelligence we’re talking about intuition that is the sixth principle faculty so that is Enlightenment the another term which Madam BL used there is also there in the same book The Secret Doctrine elsewhere
Also and that is where everything disappears where everything which is there in existence disappears and the universe merges into that oness from where it came that is the Parana so these are the two terms buddhistic terms which he has used and getting back to the source getting back
To the source so we are all living separately we think we are separate but we are all connected that connection we’re going to establish back through our sad getting back so this is what we are attempting that is the sadana we have to do hbb simply adds to reach Nana one
Mustain self knowledge she says that simply hbb simply adds to n one must attain self knowledge and that comes that comes when the man’s heart is filled with love and compassion when the man’s heart is filled with love and compassion and he get service mode get that’s why perhaps that’s old saying
M perhaps so we can if we are comfortable with that we can use that this is how the brief introduction which Madam is using Expressions to tell us how exactly one has to move towards the goal which is getting back to the source so we’ll go to the first segment who she’s talked
About and one second yes without hesitation R says without hesitation HPB said theosophy is not a religion but it is wisdom hyphen religion it’s not a new religion we should not say it’s a religion but it is wisdom religion there is a small there somebody says it’s not
Audible I don’t know what I should do still come Closer okay AIO clear a now audible no sir you are AUD yeah testing is it audible audible no madam there AUD I yes yeah I know 12 12 in is what I was told by Madame Hoskins so she we owe our skills of public speaking to Madame Ian
Hoskins to General Secretary of the Indian English she came to SCH of the wisdom the school of the wisdom the school of the wisdom very careful with those the school of the wisdom she came to direct that and she used to address us the youth launch how to speak how to
Speak in public so she told us that this should be 12 in from the your your speaking ability and the grasping ability the mic there should be distance but I don’t know this new new mic how exactly it works anyway I suppose audible now right religion we understand normally religion
We understand normally as a code of conduct or Dharma as we say the average man average man knows the worldly wisdom the average man knows the worldly wisdom which gives his bread but man doesn’t live on bread alone so there is wisdom beyond the ordinary which has to be approached by serious thinking
Meditative contemplative students so this is what is expected of a student the serious students the thinking students the meditative students the contemplative students students are common but they are all the qualities they should have So Divine wisdom another way of putting the same thing Divine wisdom says key to
Theosophy the book ke to theosophy is not wisdom of God we’re not talking about the God the capital G we’re not talking about the capital G almighty we’re not talking about that but we talking about Gods the small gods or Divine person or Godly persons that
Is divine wisdom as for the book The Key to theosophy Madame blavy who received this wisdom through a series of lessons she received from her spiritual teachers and with their help their help I’m saying she codified she codified the theosophical wisdom for all of us to understand study and assil it so that’s
Why Theos sometimes is is called an ult science Gupta shastra so she was instrument and it is at her request the knowledge is made available to us to give an example of the wisdom religion we have a great man create most of you if you have visited ad would have
Seen it it has got a trunk huge trunk it has got branches it has also got fruits which goes into the ground again they also become branches again or pick trunks again so this wisdom religion is like the trunk from where all these religions have come in different time and some
Segments of some small small divisions of the same religion are those off truths so that’s how we can understand wisdom religion that’s one way of understanding the wisdom religion imagine the B the branches and the off truits and the trunk the trunk is the wisdom the off truits are all other
Religion another way of it which is there in our literature wisdom is the B River the Bedrock of the river which is the there which always there doesn’t get destroyed or doesn’t get moved but the water on top of it goes on changing the water goes on changing
Depending on the season depending on the rainfall so the religion came later can be compared to those water which comes and which goes another water which comes and goes so the Bedrock Remains the Same so the Bedrock is the wisdom religion and the waters which have flown over the wrock the various
Religions this is how wisdom religion was explained in our literature and uh Madame rajaj is very very careful when she says any amount of study of the literature is only half job done or it’s very elemented so it’s not that which is giving the overall Improvement in
Oneself it is more the understanding and living the right kind of life which is more important Gathering knowledge having a good life and Gathering knowledge is only half work done this is something Madam rajaj used to say so the pristine ancient troops having been unveiled at different EPS of time they
All called various religions so we have seen what wisdom religion is all about and what we are supposed to do as the second the philosopical society is to encourage comp religion encourage compar religion and somebody was mentioning the other day it was the third object which
Was the main object when it was formed the society was formed that is what the history says to present wisdom to the westerners and to explain unexplained law of Nature and Powers latent in man that was the first object in 1875 and these objects got restated with
The help of the Masters in fact they were instrumented in writing the rewriting because the experiment was on Unity finding the unity bringing all things together so that was the experiment they wanted to do so they stated restated the objects and they said we have to form a nucleus of
Universal Brotherhood without distinct of this this this so that was the first object which was restated by Masters in 1979 the first 16 years of the existence of the theosophical society you read the history of that period that gives a lot of insights into what really happened
That point of time so this is the wisdom the sacred wisdom so many names to it so all this is Brahma VI all this is perhaps something which we need to understand assimilate and live the right kind of life rajaj gives a quote from the book of Mahatma
Letters sent to AP Senate letter number 49 of the Adar Edition which is incidentally the bker Edition there is another Ed which is edited by Wick junor and that’s chronological and this is the Bak Edition the older book which I have taken it from my grandfather so there9 letter says the illumination come
From within that’s the quot the illumination must come from within this is there in the book The self knowled that quotation is there so the obtention the finding or reaching nearer to the truth is not an external Journey it’s not an external Journey was an internal Journey find the truth all by
Himself so as we said some time back the lower is taken care of we remain with the fifth principle the high of Manus and that will take us to illumination that illumination has to come from within nothing external can help us no guru externally will be able to help us
Perhaps we should understand even brother Jac so this exertion which we’re talking about is the sadh or tapus if some people want to use that word and illumination comes because we are concentrating using our another word which M uses very frequently and that will guide him that guide him to travel inside him
Go inside and find out the truth for all by himself and live the Truth live that’s more important living the truth so Gathering of knowledge asaj says only half job done it’s only 50% of the work done that’s not all one has to really fall back onto the understanding simulating
And living the right kind of etymologically speaking the term religion means the unification of one single part with the universal whole eally speaking the term religion means unification of one single unified one religion is one binds us back to the SCE religion is one which backs BRS us
Back to the source this is how we have to understand religion it should not split us it is not make us into different groups so this is the religion about and religion is not particular set of dogas beliefs or rituals or procedures because rajaj came grandfather passed away oh
And said I’m happy that you have not done all those obses he said my grandfather for the C is not required so we have not done it so she was very happy because just doing it the sake of doing it me anything maybe the priest gains we don’t gain anything so she said
If the person knows what happens to him after death nothing need to be done so that’s how we get rid of rituals which are not required dogmas which are not required dogmatic presentation means I say this is the truth and nothing else is the truth that’s dogmatic and how
Brother s changed therefore also Universal prayer based on that therefore is like proving a theorem so he said shall we use this no also you can say he’s also one with every other so that’s how the coining of the also came in to the univers of prayer which is done outside and perhaps
Elsewhere they say therefore so religion must say hbb says in its wider sense is that which bces not only men together but all beings all living beings they’re all together all living beings the entire universe they all brought together and very good and here is another quotation again from
The magazine Luci which she edited when she went back to UK madami she says all beings and all things in the entire universe into one grand hold that’s how we have to understand that so religion per se in its wider sense is that which binds us not only men together but also all
Beings and all things inanimate objects also in the entire universe into one grand hold that’s the quote of HPV from Lucifer volume Five I think we get it in the like that but maybe in the internet these days we get it I’m not quite sure
I’m not seen in the internet maybe it is there in the interneto so the author says say it is so Universal the approach of theosophy is so Universal and all embracing this Bond of unity which we’re talking about that no man no spec of T and no
Molecule from Gods to Mortals none of them are accepted or not considered not kept aside so down to animals and she uses this Frame number of times this phrase even the blade of grass R has used this blade of grass number of occasions so many books so she says this of unity is
All these things put together and nothing can be outside this and this is The sum and substance of what unity and Oneness is all about So based on that wisdom religion which is theosophy as Madame glitsky has told us and the first object of the theosophical society has emanated from this so that’s why we say creating nucleus of universal Brotherhood where is the nucleus not
External again is within us within our heart that’s something which we all know but we should not look elsewhere for the nucleus yes all of us put together the bigger nucleus form but then this is how we have to understand so rajaj says concept of universal Brotherhood she says the
Concept of universal Brotherhood cannot be a weak cannot be made of a weak fraternity the concept of universe and Brotherhood cannot be made out weak fraternity meaning it’s not a weak thing a natural thing but it is a strong Gathering of people Gathering not at
The or with a view to build a social better Rel or com very very very clear it’s not external Brotherhood is not external Miss we may have lot of other associations where we have a lot of together that’s not the togetherness we’re talking about she says it’s not weak
Fraternity the roots of the universal Brotherhood have to be traced from a deeper level and all of us who accept the aims and objects of the society to make the society to vibrate strong stronger organization so we have to realize the purpose clearly the purpose of the theosophical society very clearly that
Is the togetherness the universal togetherness Oneness that Universal principle that one principle gives life to all and builds a bond of unity amongst all Universal beings Universal so many beings are there you may see an an but ant has got his energy we have energyy talks about ano having the same
Thing as human being so we don’t treat nox with a feeling that that’s a lower animal no content and the life pattern which is there in Ox is as good as what is there in me this is how we have to understand the animal kingdom the plant
Kingdom the mineral Kingdom so this is how the universality has to be built in this Universal Brotherhood Madame Raj says must have a regenerative practical quality and power if it is to be a real if it is to be of real value if Universal Brotherhood is to be of a real
Value is not a weak fraternity she said sometime back and she says it should be practical the Brotherhood should be practical and it should have a regenerating capabilities why regenerating when man is born he has got that self-preserving principle so we continually protect ourselves but then she’s talking about the real value
She says what is regeneration leaving of that is selfish becoming unselfish that’s perhaps regenerating so that’s what is the main theme of those lectures at narden which has been produced into a book called the human regeneration so we should have a loving disposition towards all beings and the capacity
To associate ourselves with the welfare of all not just the human beings but even the animals and animals elsewhere she says they know the pain but they don’t have sorrow them animals don’t have sorrow in them but they have pain they they do realize pain and man inflicts that pain man inflicts
That pain so this is they come somewhere else at that time perhaps we consider it again and we need to have this ability to include everyone theosophy is inclusive philosophy it doesn’t exclude anything but unfortunate sometimes excludes me but is inclusive so I me myself is replaced by
The all self or I or me if you reverse it becomes we M reverse it becomes we so it is we we have to talk about not me that’s what Brotherhood means so if Brotherhood remains impractical if it remains impractical and if we know the term only as it exists in the
Book not in our life then it’s of no use she says very clearly it’s of no use at all no a so genuinely practically if it’s not a fact if just a theory so it’s not going to help us so when this is realize me and I
Realize part of the hold I’m saying hold because everything is included in that and that realization the fact of life and it becomes truth to me inside not just to talk about de brother am that’s one way of saying but then do I really mean do really Insight that’s more important
More relevant lot of people hear brother but that brotherly thing is Flowing that current is Flowing from you to the other person that’s more important so that’s what perhaps she says more practical than theoretical so accumulating knowledge is of no use he goes on saying couple of times so realization is a fact
Of life Brotherhood is a fact of life and in everyday life part of our life and that would lead us to the Practical Universal Brotherhood it is not something which is there in books it is not unnatural as some people say is very natural since we have come into this
World as an individual and this individual has a component which is common to all the individuals the is there everything we see around and if we realize is one then we are together when we realize my life is am’s life’s life different then we go in separate ways when we say we have
Togetherness real sense of the term then we are practicing the universal Brotherhood in reality so how to practice you have put it in practice driving in the beginning was very difficult driving a car very difficult but now I can drive my wife looking out into the advertisement Billboards that’s
Possible now in the beginning it was very difficult be like that it’s not this is how even this when we put it into practice not simply talk about being brother having something else inside I told recently somebody whom I visited have nothing against nobody of them are against me even they’re
Against with them my grandfather once told me you love some who loves you that’s ordinary somebody doesn’t love you love him that is something which you have to cultivate that man talks behind you he still told him in esteem and still call him your brother the best of Brotherhood
So this is what I learned from him we saw him and learned he never told us do this do that so that’s how we learned he was a teacher a profession but then we saw him and we learn yeah so that truth which we have to realize is something which is inside
All of us and not external which we have stressed again and again so what happens when a person becomes unselfish what does what does it what is the transformation taking place he becomes a natural candidate for living a brotherly life he becomes a natural candidate to live a brotherly
Life the key drop selfishness you become a candidate cultivate selfishness go move away from the brother this is then what happens I think last talking we are removed otherly it becomes brotherliness otherness both are there in that so V is removed if I’m removing s selfishness and brotherly if
I’m more selfish I’m otherly this is what it is so the journey towards and selfishness is based on right and firm determination and conviction that’s the way to live and one has the ability to look in within every night before he HS the bed is anything which I have done which is
Selfish anything which I have done which is selfish I did I project myself did I say I I I spent a lot of time so I also repent Sometimes some words have escaped which are not worth saying they have gone out of local card I I tell myself I will not
Do this and perhaps I not seen physically them but then I seek their pardon because I should not repeat it so I’m convinced that’s not the way so if conviction is there will not repeat it this is the whole Crux of it so how to remove this selfishness is
Through real trial and trial a serious trial has done and not something which we do once in a way it is n is Gap nant means there’s no Gap every time any time any minute of his Waking Life or even sleeping life he’s practicing that unselfish attitude that should be the aim of
At least this 13 14,000 Indian section members then become more stronger the links become more stronger so this is how one goes and then she slides into segment from one segment another segment the book The small book which we have she slides one segment another segment now she talks
About know by personal experience the second segment the first one is all introduction to the subject the second one she talks about know by person experience continuing her emphasis on practicality the wisdom the wisdom should be practical it’s of no use there is a support me while walking
If it breaks in use that should so wisdom something like walking stick you make three parts of it the fourth one is something with you Dharma is there with you remove three the fourth one remains with you so the practicality the wisdom whether it isosy that’s what is expected of all the
Members of the theosophical society asaji says and the earnest students Madam is saying the earnest students of theosophy must wish to do more than study not study because she said more than study way the books is not things so some people they read between the lines and they say oh is not for
Study not suggesting that he’s saying it is more than stud theoretically the truths the pH offure profs or puts up more than that so there’s a quote which gives in support of that from the number 11 which a fairly long one I not made a slide of it the recognition of
High phases of man’s being on this planet is not to be obtained by mere equirement volumes most perfectly constructed information cannot reveal to man life in the higher reg one has to get a knowledge of spiritual facts by personal experience this is the quote and put that at the heading of the second
Segment know by personal experience you can know get how inspired she is by the wisdom of the higher ones I’ll read the long quotation once again for noting down the operative segment of that particular quotation the recognition of the higher phes of man’s being on this planet is
Not to be obtained by mere acquirement knowledge knowledge from hearing or anything that’s not that volumes of most perfectly constructed information most perfectly information cannot reveal to man life higher re what is higher life cannot be understood by simply reading about you may have some information all
Right but how do you get in there is by practical experience that’s what she’s saying so man life in the higher region that’s that’s exactly not through knowledge through lectures even this is mere words so one has to get a knowledge of spiritual facts has to get knowledge of spiritual facts by personal
Experience this is the reason why she has put the next segment The Heading has no by personal experience so the student should strive Madam says the student should strive to know the truth by personal experience by study by contemplating this is the process this is the only process study contemplation and meditating meditating
Is actually if you really go into theological meaning thinking deeply thinking deeply about the content so meditating what was studied an says in one of the books which we studied in our Federation you study for 10 minutes or 5 minutes close the book and contemplate on it and
Again which you have covered and then perhaps you know much more than what you understood by reading it the first time the second time you heard or you have gone through the content he after contemplating on it that gives you a wider Vista so that’s what she says
That’s the method of study so she suggesting also the same thing study contemplating and meditating on what was studying so that the person converts the knowledge into his personal wisdom only when I own those contents as mine I internalize it it becomes mine otherwise it becomes red beers or it becomes X Y
Anyone even BL so unless you understand study internaly it make it your own it is not wisdom it is simply which are mentioned by of people lot of learned people so this is what converts converts internalizes the study makes it on own becomes wisdom I think we have a terminology in the text
Also man man so helps you to internalize it you’re always thinking of that principle whenever time you think about that what you studied in the morning that’s exactly what is all about one of the teachers which I told about the person if oil is P from one big
Container into a smaller container it goes on without uninterruptedly it falls into the small container that is how n has to happen NASA has to happen with no interruptions so it happens as if the oil is being poured from a big container a small container where the flow is
Continuous you’re able to see through in fact and it’s falling that is so this is how one has to consider the study which you make and internalize then becomes one’s own wisdom this is what we supposed to do what we supposed to acquire and then it becomes the
Idea then it becomes a fact of life the truth we we can live with the truth so then then when it becomes truth when becomes that person becomes brotherly he can effectively help others say Madam can effectively help others only when he knows the other person he’s a
Brother if he is not someone who is whom he treats not as a brother how can he help he will not help you only think differently of tangent he will go so effectively if one wants to help others as one would help himself this is something which is echoing something
Like what what Christ perhaps said in the Bible if effectively want to help others as he would help himself then then it becomes a fact it becomes a truth so hbb Wars in a book the key to theosophy the student should use his discretion the capacity to discriminate and act judiciously so that
One remains on the path of service this is important if you decided to do service you should live to continue to do service she points out an example of Father Damian only 30 year old or 32 year old who went and worked with the leprosy camps he got involved so much that heed
The disas and he perished he died so that’s not the way to work you should definitely do L of discretion judiciously effectively considering the other person as part of you and then perhaps you would make the right service the right kind of service this is what she wants
So father Damian is one example d m i en Damian was only 30 years old when he died because of his jumping into the service of serving the lepers it is a good cause so then he should have taken due care of himself too so this is what happened and
What is given in the K to theosophy so according to Radha intellectual speculation and arguments intellectual speculation intellectual that means I know one thing knows another thingi says another the third thing we argue that’s not going to lead us anywhere we may lose the Friendship one thing definitely happen because we arguing
So intellectual speculation and argument and other topics and even if these are related to theosophy is not synonymous or equivalent to really knowing theosophy not synonymous or equivalent to really knowing theosophy you know something as as things go now as to what for example brotherliness is you live with it you
Improve upon it you don’t have to necessarily argue with not necessary you keep that wisdom and you all so that’s message there so knowing theosophy is why why why should we know we to get back to the source of Oneness practice Brotherhood and then he says inani a wise
Person a wise man doesn’t talk much but works for the cause of Oneness there are lot of people who we have seen our lives every Chan house we go a lot of people here from P are there for them it’s very close nor there is
That I knew who that person was when I was living at I never really could understand who this person is there almost in every house that’s ra only communicate to silence say incidentally quite a lot like I don’t know how many people know J also Lam you
May banish me from this place because I’m saying that but then he carried neatly written calligraphed that in his pocket that’s the truth we we lucky we living I could see Krish at that distance sitting close to him looking into his and very interestingly he gave me and my person
Who used to take me there a Girl by name shakuna breakfast so I put my hand immediately to eat itly the girl was say don’t do it but he said let him have it that way that’s the usual way why are you objecting so that’s krishti for understanding great man
So doesn’t much but works for the cause of Oneness so knowledge or information will not lead us anywhere knowledge or information would not lead us anywhere it is wisdom acquired with you meditation and contemplation which will deliver us so this is the real message which she’s giv in this
Particular segment and knowledge is related to matter knowledge is related to and wisdom is related to the spirit there is a difference vast difference between matter and spirit knowledge is related to matter wisdom is related to the spirit so man has Endeavor to arrive become spiritually perfect human being perfect
Being yeah it goes without saying he’s a human so this is what she conveyed to us knowledge is related to matter this is something which we need to carry in our knowledge Rel matter I download lot of things from internet parchy said this and if I’m not correlating
Whatch there is something correlation in theosophy can it be theosophical in approach if I’m talking only of par par psychologist way of presenting his understanding of what mind is because we heard as per one of the psychology mind has four divisions we are told in the thes
Of literature there is two divisions but the second one is only the line is only an imaginary line exactly a line because we are concentrating more on the lower that’s real only when we leave that perhaps go to the next one like we give the often quoted example the pole wter
Uses the pole Propel him to the other side right po water uses the fiberglass poles these days to propel him to the other side if he holds on to the pole he can’t go there so if he leaves this he can go there and trapez artist in the
Circus he’s using one to swing and then he finds something else coming in the opposite direction if he leaves this then he can catch that holding on to this he can’t catch that so this is exactly what we are also is supposed to do carrying on with matter you can’t get
The spirit and she says wisdom will be there only when you are in touch with the spirit so this is the Endeavor we are try very very sincerely to be part of the people or part of the group which will be with the spirit not with the matter it’s time yeah we’ll
Break mahapatra is yeah so we to turn this off again after the break thank you for watching we’ll meet again at 11 11 at 11
