The most important point is unity among all the devotees to co-ordinate and support each other in the propagation work of God. Let there be difference in the approach to the program. This difference between the devotees must be diverted to the difference in the capacities of receiving and to the difference in liking the presentation of the receivers in the humanity. The unity of these devotees shall be confined to the unity of the concepts of God Datta. There are only two items:- 1) internal packed material, which is the spiritual knowledge containing the concepts of God Datta without any change and 2) external packing material, which is the presentation of the subject varying according to the taste of the receivers . The first point is like the internal beauty or good divine qualities of the soul. The second point is like external beauty or good features of the physical body. The internal beauty or spiritual knowledge may be excellent. The external beauty or presentation of this spiritual knowledge in interesting way must be also excellent. This makes the program complete. What is the use if the eaten food is not digested even though the food may be excellent and also is eaten in lot? Hearing the knowledge and speaking it like a parrot is of no use. If the preacher has digested the spiritual knowledge, the disciples also will digest it. If the food is not digested at all by the preacher, it is not digested by the preached disciples also. If it is digested, again hunger starts for eating more food. If it is not digested, further eating the food does not take place. The problem may lie in the food or in the digestive system of the eater. If the defect is in the food, it shall be analyzed so that the poison in the food is detected. If the defect is in the digestive system, one shall approach the doctor, who not only prescribes the medicine to cure it but also suggests the correct food to be taken. The doctor is the correct spiritual preacher and the person giving you poisoned food is the wrong preacher giving wrong knowledge containing wrong concepts like food poisons. Poisoning the food results either in the preparation of food or during catering the food also. The practice indicates the extent of digestion of knowledge. Theory is like eaten food and practice is like digested food. Eating must be followed by the digestion. A doctor studies the medical science and practices it in the profession. An engineer studies the technology and practices it in the profession. A student of science studies the theory in the classroom and does subsequently the concerned practical in the laboratory. Even arts subjects are following this pattern of theory and its practical application. Orientation of the student towards theory that is followed by practice must be the ultimate goal of every spiritual preacher. The concepts may be the same, but, orientation towards practice in receiver becomes more effective, many a time, through the mode of presentation of the concepts by the preacher.
Dr. Nikhil in co-ordination with his wife, Smt. Devi is doing excellent presentation of concepts of God Datta through audio-video cassettes and I found sincerely that the concepts are very easily understood even by just born babies. Once Shri Ramanath told Me “Swami! Your messages are so clear with simple English so that even a student studying 5th class can easily understand those”. But, now I say that the cassettes of Dr. Nikhil can be understood even by just born babies! It is not only the merit of such technology, but also, the merit of real hunger of his brain in the service of God Datta. Of course, his English language is of international standard and some times, ordinary people like Me with not so much proficiency in that language feel inconvenient not everywhere, but, in some special places at least! I am not good in English, but, I am not also bad in English. Ninety percent of My standard of English is suitable to understand the presentation of Dr. Nikhil. But, international standard is also essential because the concepts of God Datta are Universal bringing the universal unity in spiritual knowledge. Hence, in view of the expected international pervasion of this spiritual knowledge, such standard is also inevitable. I sincerely feel that all types of standards and styles of presentation are welcome in view of the availability of receivers in corresponding standards and styles. All of you must propagate his efforts in view of a broad spectrum of receivers suitable to his two types of frequencies:- 1) Cassettes suitable to even very below average receivers and 2) Presentations suiting to the international standards. Apart from this, a spiritual course is also proposed by him and this also must be given full support since there are some people, who receive well in this line of spiritual program.
We shall keep Hanuman as our guide-light in the divine service. He never composed any prayer on any form of God, be it energetic or human. He was always immersed in the practical service of God. He is the topmost intellectual being the student of the radiating Sun. We are unable to study even one grammar, whereas He studied nine grammars! God Rama recognized Him on hearing His excellent language perfectly shining with the rules of grammar while speaking to Him. His brain is tremendously alert on selecting the only one goal, which was His contemporary human incarnation (God Rama). He was tested with tests of very high standard. Rama never involved Him in the spiritual work. Rama involved Him in His personal work, which was searching His lost wife. Rama never advised Him to marry, but, involved Him in His personal work regarding the search of His wife without caring about the marriage of Hanuman. If any one of us is in the place of Hanuman involved in such work, we will leave Rama and go away in search of our own brides! Added to this selfishness described above, Rama conducted the climax test in such atmosphere. Let us assume that Hanuman was involved in the work of Rama, which was the war with Ravana and we can assume that the involvement of Hanuman in such war is towards the direction of killing Ravana for social welfare. Even that one hope was broken in to pieces by Rama, when He told Ravana on the first day of war that if he returns Sita, He will go back from war. What does this mean? If His wife is returned, He will not kill Ravana even though Ravana seduces others’ wives afterwards! At least, I expected that Hanuman will disappear from the war seeing the climax of selfishness of Rama! I was shocked to see Hanuman standing firm in the war even after such declaration from Rama! Even God could not defeat Him in the test and He got 100 per 100 marks in every test put by God. He always did more service than expected by God. Rama wanted Him to search Sita. Not only Sita was found by Him, but also, the enemy Ravana was terribly threatened by Him by burning Lanka. After coming from Lanka, He explained His colleague-monkeys about His victories with demons in war. When He met Rama, He explained about the state of Sita only. He knows what to speak to whom and from this we must know what to preach to whom. This gives us the lesson that we should always speak appropriate subject as per the level and deservingness of the receivers. He is the master of the way of appropriate presentation also. While conveying the news about seeing Sita, He told Rama ‘seen is Sita’ (drushtaa Siteti tadvachah— Ramayanam). In His place, anyone will say that ‘Sita is seen’. He thought that if He utters the name of Sita in the beginning, Rama may collapse on hearing the first word ‘Sita’, assuming that the second word may be ‘not seen’. We must learn the way of presentation from Hanuman in the propagation of this spiritual knowledge.
