Seeing what is essential in present times, I am sharing
some of my thoughts. If someone in my name, appears to
be behaving against these principles and thoughts, then one must try to make
every effort to prevent him from doing so. When my diksha Guru left his
mortal body in 1987 and when I completed all the religious rites, at that
time I made a firm commitment that besides attaining knowledge of the
essential Self, there is nothing else I want to do. I do not want to ask
anyone for anything. I do not want to keep any money with me, nor do I want
to touch it. I do not wish to go anywhere on my own. Whoever would like to
take me somewhere, may do so. After that, I met Shri Jayadayalji
Goyandka of Gita Press. In my eyes, he
was an enlightened soul, God-realized great soul. His influence and impact on
my life was immense. I am not affiliated with any individual,
organization, ashram, etc. If due to some reason, there was a relationship,
it was for that moment, and not forever. I am eternally a seeker of Truth,
not of any person. I have forever been of the mindset that people
instead of seeing something divine and special in me, or in any other
individuals and becoming engaged with a particular person, should become
engaged directly with God. I am totally and strongly against worship and puja
of a person (an individual). I have no place, no spiritual organization, nor
ashram. I do not have a seat (position), nor do I consider anyone my
disciple, messenger, or one who is rightfully eligible to answer queries on
my behalf. After this life, only my books will provide the
direction and lead the path. Increasing awareness of Gita Press books,
protection of cows (gau rakshaa) and association with holy company, Truth (satsang) has been my eternal aspiration. I do not allow and am totally against taking my
photograph, or touching my feet, or raising hands in praise and glory, or
making someone wear holy beads. I do not give offering of food (prasad),
bead necklace, scarf, clothes, blanket etc., to anyone. I only sustain my body through food
offered by others (bhiksha). For Satsang and other spiritual work, I object
to the raising (accumulating) of funds (donations). I do not give blessings or wish evil or give
boon to anyone, nor do I understand and consider myself capable of doing such
things. I give greater importance to Gangaji, the Sun or reverence / recitation of holy
scriptures instead of my visitation and viewing (my darshan). I have once and for all, entirely given-up the
touching of Money and Women. In those newspapers, magazines
or written publications where there are advertisements printed, I object to
my writings being published. Similarly, in shops, places of trading, or in
calendars pertaining to commercial business or any tools, materials created
for the awareness of the businesses, there too, I object to my name being
printed in any such publications or places. However, this does not apply to
the advertisement of Gita Press books. During discourses, I have established a
practice of women and men sitting separately. In my proximity and few feet in
the surrounding areas, only men will sit. The seating arrangements for men,
will be arranged by men and for women will be arranged by women. Only men
should raise their hands, not women! while praising the glories of God. Of the three Yogas - Karma Yoga (Path of
Action), Jnana Yoga (Path of Knowledge) and Bhakti Yoga (Path
of Devotion), I consider Path of Devotion to be best of all, and I believe
that it is only through eternal divine Love that man attains perfection. He who says he is my disciple and considers himself
to be blessed by me and gives discourses and seeks respect and recognition,
who takes money from devotees, who keeps contact with women, who takes gifts
or asks for things, he must be considered a deceitful person. He who accumulates
money in my name, he incurs immense sin. That person's sins are not eligible
for forgiveness. Ram
