jnani purusa (Gnostic being), leading the life of sthitaprajnata (equanimity) for lokasamgraha (well being of the total cosmos) and becoming saccidanandasvarupa. This is natural living. This is the message of Indian culture highlighted by Dada Bhagwan.
Human being is partly free and partly determined. The body-mind complex is determined and the animating, enlivening and illuminating consciousness is free. Freedom and determination, freedom and responsibility, free will and fate go together. They are not incompatible and need to be coordinated. Complete freedom belongs to Purusa only.
It is therefore necessary to know the difference between karma (action) and karma phala (result of action). Karma is within the purview of human but karma phala is beyond his control. Our competence and control is confined to performing action. We get the result in accordance with our karma and for this we have no say. So there is need for karma kaus'al, skilful management of karma. Human life is concatenation of karmas and karma phalas. Management of karma and management of karma phala are distinct and they are to be performed skillfully. To have peace and happiness, prosperity and contentment we have to cultivate kus'ala citta (pious mind) which fulgurates positive vibrations and generates bliss and beatitude. This is possible if all our worldly activities and life, or vyapara, is regulated and guided by dharma and performed without attachment. This is the meaningful life we are required to live. What is required is dharmika human, dharmika society and dharmika state. There is a need to prepare a blue print of this on the basis of teachings of Dada Bhagwan.
The delineation on Nature in this system is illuminating and call of "back to Nature" worth pursuing and timely in contemporary global scenario. Nature is lawful (rtambhara), law-abiding, and law-enforcing. Nature is orderly and uniform. Nature is benevolent and protective. But all these manifestations are available if we go by Nature, abide by Nature and obey Nature. If we protect Nature, Nature will protect us. We have to help Nature in order to enable her to help us. But unfortunately we disturb, harm and mutilate Nature. We violate its nature and introduce disorder in it. This rebounds on us and we feel helpless. We suffer all sorts of calamities and catastrophes. But all these are our making. The only remedy is to cultivate the attitude of natural living. Natural living is to be one with Nature. For this we have to know the real nature of Nature. To know Nature is to know ones own self, for we are one with it.
Cosmos or universe is a totality of interconnected, interrelated and interpenetrative things and events. There is organismic interdependence, cooperative partnership and supportive mutualism in the communitarian living in Nature. It is regulated by a Vyavasthita S'akti, an inherent power charged by Cosmic Consciousness and controlled by Kala (Time) and law of karma with its attributive, retributive and distributive dimensions. We have to be aware of this.
It would be beneficial for humankind to share, partake and imbibe Dada Bhagwan's experiences, visions and projections as they are meant for the entire human race and for the smooth flow of the cosmic process, as averred by Dada himself. In order to realize this wish of Dada Bhagwan it is necessary to have associations with and partaking by
