The Song of Truth Chapter ONE Calcutta, India

Many sat with Dadaji this morning at his family home, in an atmosphere of peace. A man whose work was that of a barrister-at-law, appointed Chief Justice of the igh Court, spoke. !D adaji, would you speak to us of "od. And how do we know that what you say is true#!

Dadaji smiled gently and spoke.... $ecause the %upreme Authority of the &ni'erse told me. $ut, you must not belie'e Dadaji either. (ou must go to the %upreme within and find the )ruth of these words. Dadaji ne'er claims to be %aint "uru, or "od. *f * am "od, you too are "od. "od is misunderstood and described in so many ways, depicted in so many forms. Countless churches, temples, mos+ues, statues, images, and dolls ha'e been created by humanity for the purpose of worship. All claim the true faith, the only "od or "ods as their own. "od does not belong to them, instead they belong to "od, all belong to "od. "od is not one in three or three in one. "od, , the %upreme

Almighty Authority of the &ni'erse is all in all. )here is only "od. Dadaji refers to "od as e, but that is not masculine gender. -e are all both he and she. "od is that which is infinite and eternal, the essence itself. "od is not a concept but the only reality. -ith our minds so inhibited we cannot reali.e im, we are caught up in the illusion of good and bad and right and wrong. %cience has done many things to make our li'es easier, but it cannot free the mind or bring us the peace and joy of reali.ing im. !%ome say "od is within us, some say "od is outside us. Dadaji says "od is both within and without. )here is no place in the &ni'erse that "od does not e/ist. %o why the need for churches, temples and holy places. )he whole &ni'erse is holy. 0eople for the purpose of business, for the purpose of collecting money ha'e created these institutions, made them ta/ free, for their own benefit. )he innocent people are cheated, e/ploited and con'inced to worship falsely. )hey are told that they must talk to priests, to dolls, that they through themsel'es, can not be in communion with "od.! 1'ery so often 2ne comes on this earth and speaks )ruth, saying that e who created the 2ne created all. )he messenger may be called Christ, 3rishna, $uddha. )he label may be Allah, $rahman, 4ishnu, or %hi'a, it matters not. -e must remember the message, not honor the messenger and worship him as the Almighty. )hey ne'er claimed to be "od. )hey came with simple messages. "od lo'es you. 5emember im. Do your Duty. 1njoy. (ou ha'e come to taste "od6s 7o'e. (ou ha'e come to taste "od6s 0eace. (ou ha'e come to li'e as 2ne with "od. "od, all at the same time is the Creator, the 0reser'er, the Destroyer. Many people no longer want to speak the -ord, "od, yet it is the most wonderful word. *t contains all form and name, yet remaining nameless and formless. )he Christian speaks of sin and the de'il, although Jesus came to speak of our 8ather, "od, and is lo'e for all is children. )he $uddhist speaks of suffering and practices mental and physical e/ercises to escape from the body, while $uddha taught that "od was beyond reali.ation of the mind, and to li'e the royal noble middle path. )he indus speak of austerity, penance, and karma, when 3rishna said simply take refuge in "od.

)he Jews speak of dietary laws and traditions while Moses said, ,!"od is one, lo'e im with all your heart, all your mind, and all your strength.! Dadaji says, ! "od is within, no penance, no de'otion, no "urus, no meditations are necessary or re+uired. "od is already with you, do not worry. "od is the easiest, the nearest, the dearest. "od is chanting within you twenty-four hours each day. )ruth is 2ne, the same for all. All religion is superstition. ow can it be )ruth if it all claims to be the only way and is making a business out of "od# *t separates people, creates wars and conflicts. "od does not know about Christians, indus, and Moslems. )hey are manmade. 9o caste, no religion, all are one in the same, brothers and sisters of the 2ne 8ather and Mother.! -1 CA9 D2 92) *9".

!"od is the gi'er and the taker. *n the mind and body we are forced to li'e within the laws of action and reaction. 2nly in lo'e, beyond mind can we e/perience "od6s lo'e. )hat lo'e that is perpetual, that has no barriers, knows not t i m e or dis t a n c e : A s y;<6 o u = o ' e a n d remember "od, "od seems to lo'e and remember you more.

$ut, in fact, it has always been present. "od is steady and unchangeable. -ithout e/pectations "od is present. "od6s lo'e is present as the eternal sound of 9ame, chanting within you. )his was with you at the birth of the body and before. )his will be with you until the death of the body and after. !"od gi'es indications of this lo'e and only patience is re+uired to feel it. (ou will feel it in all your actions and be guided by this presence. A bout "od be careful. "od is truly your nearest and dearest.

!"od is our real best friend. "od is )ruth. 0eople always want "od, or )ruth to li'e up to their e/pectations or mental images. According to Dadaji, where there is mind there must be actions and reactions and wa'es of desire.

%atyanarayan, Creator of )ruth, is beyond mind and intellect, beyond our reach, but yet the dearest to all residing within as pure e/istence, as life. )hose who do not try to understand or assess im, e holds them firmly by the hand. "od remains far away from those who try to understand im. !Abo'e all, "od is fair and just and merciful. -e run away from "od, do not want "od, deny )ruth, curse , im, yet e is always with us, e'er helpful, permitting us

life itself. *f one thinks, 6* will make an effort to lo'e "od,6 then one cannot reach im. ! Dadaji has not saffron robes. e is amongst you all as a simple and natural 1lder $rother. !)here is no need for costumes, diet changes, name changes, or for going off to li'e in a ca'e. -orship "od by doing your duty, joyfully, not in sorrow. Do not make a stage play, a musical, a drarna or a comedy out of your de'otion. 9e'er trouble yourself with what is happening here and there with the faults of others. -hate'er you recei'ed in life, take that as "od6s blessing or "race. "race can be not getting what you want. *t is held back because you do not need that e/perience. *f you can open your heart to this, the road to peace is opened to you. !)here is a $engali saying that, 6-hoe'er seeks me, * place before them all dire ad'ersities and e'en then if they do not lea'e me and still seek me, then * become their humble ser'ant.6

!*n the worldly life the best medicine is to ha'e patience. 0eople are impatient, they want things right this moment, and are willing to pay for it. )hat is how "od-men, $abas, %aints, and $hagwans prey upon them. )hey offer sal'ation through techni+ues, mantras, and photo worship, for a price. )he price is so high, complete surrender to them, not to "od. )hey want you to become their disciple,

not "od6s. 5emember if you can see "od in their photo and not in your own, it is not "od you are seeing. "od does not re+uire anything other than remembering im, do your work for im, in lo'e for im.! 5emember, this life is )ruth or Conse+uences. 7ife or )ruth itself e/acts payment for not conforming to it. )he $haga'ad "ita says in the discourse that speaks of reality, ! e who knows me, the unborn, without beginning, also the mighty 7ord of the worlds, he among mortals is undeluded and freed from sins. * am the self seated in the hearts of all creatures. * am the beginning the middle and the 'ery end of all beings.!

)he greatest magicians in the world ha'e come before Dadaji to e/pose im. 2ne came with the 0olice Chief of Calcutta. e produced for Dadaji some sweets from what appeared to be thin air. Dadaji responded that e could do no such thing, but that "od6s -ill had already been done. Dadaji told them to look in the glo'e bo/ of the 0olice jeep in which they had come. )he jeep had been guarded by a policeman. 7o and behold a carton of sweets was found in the glo'e bo/. A famous magician came to see 8reeman and told him he had e/posed a great *ndian "uru, who produces ash to gi'e to people. )he "uru offered the magician a great deal of money ne'er to perform this ash trick again and to publicly fall at the "uru6s feet on a public stage and to say that he had become his de'otee. )he magician declined and had been caused a great deal of trouble. )he magician then performed magic tricks, making things appear and disappear. e washed his hands with plain water and so much ash then started to appear. e told 8reeman most of his tricks were magic but after a serious illness he felt 3rishna come to him and gi'e him some special powers. )he ne/t day the magician appeared before Dadaji. 8reeman asked him to perform for Dadaji. )he magician humbly stated, !$efore "od one does not show off magic tricks.! )he magician took Mahanam and departed with a sweet smile of peace on his face.

)he $haga'ad "ita says, there is that which can be seen, that which cannot be seen, that which has not been seen but can be seen. )he first is of the senses. )he second is e/trasensory. )he third we can, but do not percei'e because of the insensiti'ity of the mind and heart. )he first can be called common sense. )he second, scientific or a deeper consciousness. )he third is called mysticism or e/tended consciousness or unlimited 'ision. *t is like seeing the Di'ine form. Arjuna asks 3rishna, !> %upreme 7ord, * desire to see thy Di'ine 8orm.! 3rishna responds, !)hou canst not behold me with this human eye, * will bestow on thee a supernatural eye.! 9o sooner does he see all the forms a hundred

fold, a thousand fold, 'arious in kind, Di'ine of 'arious colors and shapes, than he tries to describe the miraculous 'isions of the Di'ine. !2f many mouths, eyes, of many 'isions of mar'el, of many Di'ine ornaments, of many uplifted weapons, if this light of a thousand suns were to bla.e forth all at once in the sky that might resemble the splendor of the e/alted being, the whole &ni'erse, di'ided into manifold parts, gathered together in one in the body of "od. * see them e'erywhere of endless forms.!

Arjuna has great fear and asks 3rishna to return. 3rishna responds. !$e not bewildered, be thou not afraid because thou hast beheld this awful form.

All limitations of the mind are gone, for the mind creates time and space. Can you imagine that what has taken place on a star C,>>> years ago, according to man6s time, is just being seen by us now. )ry to think about this. 1'erything is going on endlessly. )his mind and this eye cannot comprehend it. Dadaji, who said he does not belie'e in miracle asked 8reeman and two $ombay *ndustrialists to accompany im upstairs to is bedroom. e said, !8reeman, you must know the difference between magic and "od6s -ill, the work of the Di'ine. Magicians must always wear some garment to hide things.! -ith this Dadaji stripped is clothes from is body. e touched 8reeman6s beard and a gold watch appeared. *t was a %wiss made brand., All present 'erified this fact. )hen the brand name under the crystal was changed to !%ri %ri %atyanarayan.

Dadaji then turned it o'er and where it was blank, with his finger engra'ed, ! . 8reeman.! e said, !)his is not from Dadaji. )his is from "od. )his is not a miracle but simply is -ill for you at this time.! )here is a story of a mother who took her young son to a Master for enlightenment. )he Master said the work was hard and he could not gi'e the boy enlightenment. )he mother told the boy to remain and try to learn from the Master. %he returned after si/ months and found her son ill-fed, poorly clothed, and o'erworked. %he went to complain to the Master and found him wearing a silk garment, smoking, drinking tea. e was sitting before a table laden with sumptuous food, with a roast duck in the center. At this sight she berated the Master for her son6s treatment. )he Master clapped his hands and the roast duck rose from the platter and

flew out the window. !Mother, when your son is in tune with "od and he too can do that, then perhaps he can enjoy all this, without practicing austerity.!

Many were seated with Dadaji at one of the homes of the !%alt 3ing of *ndia,! Mr. ".). 3amdar. An insurance e/ecuti'e spoke and asked, !Dadaji, would you speak of penance, of worship, and de'otion#! !0enance, what is penance# ow can aperson do penance, and to whom shall they do it# )his implies that you ha'e done something wrong and you are asking for forgi'eness of the Almighty. )his is a mind function that deals with sin, guilt, and punishment. )his is childishness, 6please forgi'e me "od, * did wrong. Don6t punish me and * promise *6ll ne'er do it again.6 )his type of thinking, this type of belief can ne'er lead to reali.ing "od.

(ou simply must change your diet and start eating foods that agree with you. *f you want a medicine to make you well only taking "od6s 9ame can help. More than help, it heals any situation. *t is the Di'ine medicine of

)ruth. !*n worship, or puja, the worshipper and the worshipped are identical. -hen you ha'e reali.ed, "od comes and worships you as imself.! Dadaji always asserts that man will enjoy three-fourths of life, and onefourth shall suffer. -e lose our patience and will not accept e'en that one-fourth gi'en by "od to educate and strengthen us. (ou must remember there are no accidents in life, only surprises. -hen you need an answer, usually you are sent a +uestion. -hen you need faith, a doubtful situation comes, and when you need courage, a fearful situation arri'es on the scene. $y seeing it through to "od, as corning from "od, it will always turn for your good. And you will become greater in faith, strength, and understanding. 0atience is the highest of all penances in the world. Due to our emotions and impatience we often jump to conclusions and misunderstand those around us. -e curse them and make our minds remorseful. Dadaji ad'ises you, ! a'e respect for patience. "od, in the course of time will remo'e the situation.! Dadaji himself, and is family ha'e suffered so much, for no reason, but they had patience and faith that with "od all would turn out well. Dadaji in is own life , shows how we should accept and face life patiently. A time comes for difficult situations to change. )ruth always wins. )his is established and pro'en. -hene'er you ha'e problems in mind try to remember this. )he key is with "od. *n )ruth there is no such thing as a problem, only situations which are not compatible with how you would like them to be at a gi'en time or place. *f you permit your mind to feed on this energy, a 'ery real cancer will grow. *f you take the 9ame of "od, the situation will shri'el up and die for lack of food. !-e are not sinners. "od is with us, we are with "od. *f you remember "od is All, if you do your duty with only this All, if you do your duty with only this thought, there will ne'er be a +uestion of penance. Do not panic. -e all ha'e a panic button. Don6t push it, instead remember "od. *t is harder to unlearn an error than to accept a )ruth, but * will help you. Most are not brought up to belie'e, but that it is proper to belie'e. After being depri'ed of )ruth for so long we ha'e been conditioned to think the lie is the )ruth and we become reluctant to change. 5emember guilt is carni'orous, it de'ours the person, eats at us from the inside. !8ear is the mate of guilt. )here is a story that (ama, the 7ord of Death passed a %age one day and told him he was going to a city to take =,>>> li'es by the plague. %ometime later the %age saw (ama again and accused him of lying, for =>,>>> li'es had been taken.
