The Only Shelter



We require the sustenance and development of our life. The Supreme Soul upholds our inner being and manifests in various forms according to our instinctive traits. This is materialized through a divine personality by action and deeds and the shower of providential bliss could make all propitious. The living ideal is the only way to lead an adjusted, happy and prosperous life through untottering adherence and active allegiance. For awakening, the ideal within us a superior living man in flesh and blood leads us and teaches all mechanisms of achieving perfection by attachment with Him through initiation. He is popularly known as Acharya, the only shelter of our life.

To save the world Sree Sree Dada, the Acharyadeva of Satsang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satsang_(Deoghar) gives topmost importance to acceptance of the Holy Name through initiation. On the occasion of the 231st, All India Satsang Ritwik Conference on 15.04.1998 Acharyadeva Param Pujyapada Sree Sree Dada said, “. .Our goal is Iswarprapti, i.e., to realize God in reality. But God is ‘Abang-mana so-go charm’ i.e., beyond the expression of our mind and speech. Man cannot recognize Him, cannot comprehend Him. He always remains beyond my own conceptual capacity. But when He descends to this plane of matter in the human dimension then and then only we can conceive Him through Sat-Diksha, i.e., holy initiation. When we take His initiation and move on accordingly on His way we tend to become enriched with Godly attributes. Then we achieve Dharan- Paalani-Byaktitwa, i.e., upholding and protecting personality. God upholds each and all. He never lets anyone get lost from Him.”

Once Sree Sree Thakur said referring to Sree Sree Dada when the latter was a boy only, I find myself within him. The child is very exuberant, very pleasant, courageous, and also intelligent. Sree Sree Thakur again said, Tt’s the third generation, I have heard that the third generation inherits a lot (inherits much of the good qualities of the first generation). See if there is any proof in any book. (Alochana Prasangey, Vol. II, Pg. 173)

In the process of holy initiation, one is to realize his own self and to adjust his complexes. https://gyanajyoti.com/2020/08/11/personality-through-sadhana-man-cannot-be-made-superior-being-by/ A meaningful coordination between the Ideal, individual, and environment could be possible which helps a man to attain perfection and love.

His face is very cheerful and ever possesses a powerful attractive force. The magnetic pull of his personality is irresistible. He is very keen on understanding the morphological, anatomical, physiological, and biochemical lives of innumerable animals, plants, and micro-organisms of this universe.

During his stay, the then minister Sri Batakrushna Jena expressed his feelings before Sree Sree Borda, “The animals are coming very close to the walls of the cages to see you.” Sree Sree Borda very cheerfully and gladly said, “Babu (Sree Sree Dada) understands the languages of animals better than I.

Although ample opportunities are there for him to go abroad just like Sree Sree Thakur he has not visited any foreign countries ever but encourages others with sufficient caution. Once to a student praying to go to Canada, he blessed thus, “Go to Canada or moon but do not forget your father, mother, and country. After acquiring some knowledge and wealth from these countries return quickly to your own country” Many foreigners coming to India are getting the real path.

The Only Shelter

Sree Sree Thakur highly appreciated the in-born leadership and presence of mind of Sree Sree Dada. Once Sree Sree Thakur said, “A number of things come to my mind, I think here there will be a university and people from different countries will come here for learning and Babu (Sree Sree Dada) will be its director” (Alochana, Pousa, 1377) Once during the stay of Sree Sree Borda at Satsang Thakurbari, Puri, Sri Dwijen Basu, the nephew of Netaji Subhas Chandra Basu asked Sree Sree Borda, “Is any of your sons Netaji Subhas with you? Sree Sree Borda replied, “My eldest son is with me-he 1st my charioteer. I always move about taking him with me.” The Only Shelter
