Excerpts
from
The Gita and Management
(published in the year 1994)
.
. . The individual is infinitely intelligent.
The more people come together in a crowd, the less intelligence
is manifested. We know that. More discussions, more confusions.
All creative achievements are made by the individual -- Karl Marx,
Einstein, Newton. You cannot create a group where a discovery can
be made.
Individuals have to produce creative ideas.
So my point is that the individual is the most important factor.
If the individual s the important factor, who is the individual?
how do you conceive of an individual?. . .

Excerpts
From
Happiness Unlimited: Self-unfoldment in an interactive world
(published
by Srshti Publishers in 2002)
.
. . The modern man is facing the problem of daily survival, having
to meet his daily needs of food, shelter and cloth. He has to strive
and struggle. His life is becoming more and more competitive. So
many people are facing so few goods and services. There is a revolution
of rising expectations. Everybody wants to have the same level of
comforts. . .
Life
has become very competitive. And, we are all struggling. At the
same time each one of us have come to the realisation that merely
fulfilling our material needs are not enough to live a life of quality,
a life of fulfillment, a life of total satiation. We have come to
the realisation that we may be successful in acquiring all the comforts
of life, and still may not be able to lead a happy and contented
life. . .

Excerpts
From
Meditation: The Awakening of your Inner Powers
(1st Edition published in the year 1995)
.
. . Meditation is abiding in the self as a happy person. Dynamic
meditation is self-abidance while interacting with the world. Planning
and working for maximum success itself can be a deep experience
of meditation. . .
.
. . The meditator has to be initiated by a SiddhaGuru into mantra,
and the diksha mantra has to be held as a secret in one's heart
during the course of sadhana. Mantra becomes powerless when exposed,
ust as a seed taken out of earth is powerless and does not sprout
and grow. . .
.
. .Finally it is watching and the power of silence that will burn
down the ego centre and lift the meditator to the dimension of peace
and supreme creative bliss, a state of total self-abidance.

Excerpts
From
Rishi Vision
(published in the year 1992)
.
. . The need for recapturing the Rishi Vision is paramount for
Bharat poised on the threshold of the 21st century. Unfortunately
a notion had been created and been uncritically propogated that
the Rishi was against the world, was otherworldy, and was indifferent
to the woes and evils of the world like poverty, disease, squalor,cruelty,
suffering and injustice. This was a canard spread by the vile colonizers
to despiritualise Bharat. In fact there were great Rishis who fought
against injustice, inequality, oppression and against all forms
of cruelty. Sage Visvamitra, Sage Parasurama and Sage Yajnavalkya
were shining examples of Rishis taking up issues of the day and
fighting for injustice. . .
.
. .Nor did the Rishi justify poverty and suffering in the name of
karma. The theory of karma was just another logical proposition
based on the law that every effect must have a cause. Cause modified
is effect. Thus every action produces an appropriate result. It
only establishes the fact that the individual by his thoughts and
actions creates his destiny. Karma theory futuristically understood
becomes a liberating, revolutionary concept. It empowers human beings,
enabling them to choose their responses and actions and their destiny.
But during those fateful thousand years a shackled society interpreted
the same karma theory to justify its fate and pathetic conditions
in terms of the past. Thus rationalising its inability to mould
its
present by choice of appropriate actions to become master of its
destiny. . .
