HIS HOLY WORDS - SWARUPANANDA PARAMHANSHA

1. One caste is high while another is low; one nation is born to serve while another is to lord over al1,-nothing is more danger­ously false than such a hypothesis. Know it for certain that all men are created by God and in the eye of God all are equal.

2. Every man can easily realise this truth through Prayer and meditation and when such realisation comes, he becomes a Brahmin. This is the truth of all truths and this I why the Brahmin one day comman­ded respect from all quarters.

3. The term Brahmin does not connote any particular caste or sect but it signifies a transcendental stage of spiritual sublimity. Every man of the world can attain to that stage by spiritual training. Every man in the universe has the right to become a Brahmin by reaching that stage. It is only to help people in reaching this transcendental stage that dyna­mic souls, the highly radiant teachers descend on this earth.

4. God is one but He dwelleth in every man. Hinduism recognise as many manifestations of God as there are creatures in His universe. But Hinduism never admits poly­theism nor does it reprove another's method of worship. This is why the Hindus never took to sword to do away with the Non-Aryan's worship of too many gods and goddesses. Nor did they prevent the aboriginals from worshipping God according to their traditional customs and belief. As a result of this, the worship of many gods and goddesses gradually found its way into Hinduism which is in reality monotheistic. This is the worst evil that has come upon the Hindu society because of its catholi­city. Many great men have dedicated their whole life to save the Hindu society from this evil and many more will yet be born to bear the torch.

5. When religion foments racial or national animosity, it indirectly encourages crimes and vices of the worst type. It is a sin to engender hatred among races and nations. It is abominable from worldly con­sideration and also unpardonable in the eye of God. But even to this day we have observed this mal­practice running rampant in different climes and different periods of history. Hinduism declares it in clear terms that love for all is a solid truth, a reality; and ill-will and factions between man and man are all illusions. In love do I send my clarion call to you, my sons and daughters, brothers and mothers living in. towns and villages, in hills and dales, to discard the unrealities and illusions of animosity and war, and flock under the banner of truth for becoming men in the truest sense. of the term.

6. No matter whatever race or nationality you are born in or may belong to, I am come to give you the sacred rights of a Brahmin. I am come to dispel the ignorance that has cumbered on you through ages. I am come to give such strength to your nerves and muscles as can remove the load of age-long suffering and ine­quities. A true Master (Guru) is not tied 'down to any sect, state or society. His inspiration comes from God alone and he plunges himself in the work of uplifting and renovating the depressed humanity with noble thoughts and sublime ideas. Who­ever of whatever place on earth has fallen down and is down-trodden, rest assured, in all circumstances I seek your welfare. If you seek your own good and salvation, it will be easy for me to grant you that. I am not come to destroy or cry down any religious belief or any social ins­titution. I am come only to awaken divine love and compassion in man wherever and in whatever condition may he be.

7. The truth I have realised has come unto me from God Himself. I am ready to help and guide those who are earnest, however fallen and lowly. But are you ready? If so, I am with you ever and ever.

In love and Service
