( As remedy for all human difficulties and ailments)
Focus Line : Tall-claims, questionings and inviolability.

1. The message conveys a godly devout's firm faith in the existence, superintendence and power of the Higher regime.

2. In Lord's attributes of mercy, grace of all boons and bounties, of granting a state of Sehaj, Santokh, Sadh-Sangat, Nishkaam Seva, Samuh Sarab Sukh; of Gyan Dhian Dhan and "Paar Parila".

3. Meaning: A state of unruffled mind; of satiation, interaction with the pious, (individually or in congregation, for strength in absorption of elevational vibes, sanctifying the atmosphere); a mind of charitable outlook, longings for people's selfless service and well being; a state of awakening to the presence of Sanctity and Super riches of the Higher Order, provisioned for human worthwhileness.

4. The "Paar Parila" is achieved in human person's conquest over the inner wicked.

5. In this way, a complete mergence of all realms takes place; of matter and material, of Nature in diversified variety and of the super material, or the Super Natural.

6. The intake is through the visible, invisible, interpretative, mystic, reverberative and perceivable; with sensory and extra-sensory fitments; in the beat, beauty and grandeur of the Whole Creational Manifestation.

7. The Human has become sublimely culminational, with God Himself thumping inside and outside the human person.

8. The scientist, the sceptist, the half baked, the raw or the non baked believers, all become a part of the Super scientific proving that God runs them and their lives; above their zoned realm of independent thought and action.

9. Where they seem to architect their own human structure of laws, codes, sciences, politico socio-economic systems.

10. Where they raise farms and factories, offices and institutions.

11. Their comforts, luxuries, profits and wealth.

12. Where they run their schools, colleges and worship places with Pandits, Mullahs and Priests.

13. Plan and build their states, ideologies, unions, equations and strategic blocs or exclusivist sub-worlds.

14. Where they bring in the rigmarole of castes, creeds, classes, ethnicity and communal sectarianism.

15. There onwards, they create markets, for their needs, business, profits and gains.

16. And, then, they begin to slip, trick, smuggle, cheat, scam, corrupt, ill-drug and debase all walks of life.

17. They love, hate, doubt, worship, pray, desecrate and flounder at the same time.

18. The inroading spectre of misunderstandings, unfortunately, distances them away from each other. They fall apart, hostile up, militarise, weaponise, endanger scenarios and get set to destroy others with wanton killings of the innocent and devastation of human assets.

19 .That's how, you know, the human ruffle-up, stands today, kicking off turmoil; polluting socio-economic order; aggravating strains of indiscipline, violence and blasts; and degrading the world's geo-political landscape.

20. The war machine rumbles, Khan sahib's nuclear proliferative bazaar hots up, more nations get nuclearly arsenalled; terrorism emboldens, spreads and dares; the irresponsible leaders and states hold out and rattle nuclear shoot-out threats.

21. The bio, chem, radioactive and nuclear missiles and bombs, in-crude handy devices and in their updated configurations, from silos and satellites, are readied up for a final strategic, uprootal thrash-down. Pre-emptions cannot be ruled out.

22. A tumble-down of the Human Person in the barren sands of common- sense, in it's elusive destiny chase?

23. The human apotheosis and apostasy are in confrontation; the latter pre-ponderates and retards the advance and victory of the human culminational. That's the cause of contemporary malaise.

24. That's the game in the independently zoned human theatre, on the mile-stone of 21st century, where, some still say that God is a hoax, and super natural powers are irrelevant; that people only need money, markets for their hunger and the rulers need coercive power to carry out their ideological mandate, by whatever means. The type of game that gags Human Rights and messes up, to mar human merriness.

25. The kind of scenario represents a serious vaccum in the construct of the world order. Its mere material dimension in human context inhibits the broad angle view and overlooks the imperativity in understanding of the primordial, right coursed, cosmo-super order.

26. Now, therefore, whither to go, for veritable answers and solutions? It becomes a great puzzle log jam, on the crossroads of human affairs. Whether they would like to carry on like this, as in the past, worsen it, or would like to change their gear and direction, in determined earnestness, and concord to acknowledge, accept and integrate with the realms and laws of the Higher Regime, is left to their sense of good judgement.

27. The trouble in the drag, however, is that we seek only empirical solutions to empirical questions and challenges, whereas, for full and practical solutions to human problems, the vast supportive resource of the Super Natural will have to be invoked, intermingled with and availed in the immense scope of the human apotheosis.

28. No cause to despair. The Voice for the blessed Human Order resounds like this:


"SABH KICHH VASGAT SAHIBAH,
APEH KARAN KAREN,
SATGUR KE BALHARNEH,
MANSA SABH PURAVE"

29. The rationale in the belief is that there is more power in prayer than is packed in the atom-atoms in body, matter and space. And to heed and grant the prayer, offered in faith, for our fair needs and fulfilment, there is the Great, Gracious Guardian.

30. Let us attempt by illustration the proof for belief . The high-grade scientists, explorers and researchers, thinkers, doers and achievers of all fields are human persons with the born genii, which goes above the level of intellectual brilliance. It belongs to the realm of "Budh-Vivek"- a Super Power Enlightenment, beyond the unexplorable, unreachable, mystic, for goodness to think and perform. They are 'Rang Ratras', with the spiritual depth, understanding, grasp and perception of the Total.

31. Their thinking and quest goes beyond the micro in matter to the macro of the universe. They are aware of the Force behind turn of seasons; of genes, gender, and pedigrees; of the functioning of the physio-psycho- -auto motor; of the sense in soul or in the combat theatre of invisible mind; of birth, life, growth and decay.

32. They do believe that there are designers, architects and makers behind all earthly things and, therefore, there is surely, the Master Architect, Builder or Maker of the invisible atoms, to the entire transplanetary system, with their eternal Laws of operation and discipline. That there is the Creator Scientist, of all sciences of the universe and it's scientific phenomenon; the origin and it's thereafter, it's existence, vitalism, vivacity and continuity. Their science of Conscience should not, however, be serviled, shackled and exploited for misapplications towards destructive ends.

33. Luckily, the human persons of Learned Lore are veritable believers in relativism of the Cosmic Order, in the imperativity of free inquiry, constant dialogue with the Inner ( Jyot Sarup - Light of Life-Force-Pragas--enlightenment ) and then, with the outer manifestational Nature ( of turfs and trees; snow peaks and oceans; of Sun, Moon and Stars; of winds, warmth, energy; of Earth and Space; of all living, growing and seemingly non-living things ).

34. A dialogue with the grandeur of the Whole ( Sobh Khand Brahmandahay).

35. A discourse of Love, Faith, Immanence of Providence and His Creation, in an ever going Aarti ( worship ) through


"Dhoop Deep Malanlo Pavan, Chavro Kare,
Sagal Banrai, Phulant Jyoti…"

"Harnameh Hee Sukh Manda Hai".

( The above extract of psalm emphasises the message as to how a transcendental worship in the Cosmo-Order ever goes on; with sky decked in crescent light of Sun, Moon and Stars; with sandal-scent borne winds wafting in veneration; an auto-orchestral holy music playing felicity fusion notes; vegetation bursting in lush greens, reapings and pleasing blooms; all hoisting and saluting the majesty, unity, harmony, sanctity and joy in the Grand Communion of the Immanence and Creation ).

36. Without this constant life-force transmission, the human person trips into a dysfunctional disconnect. Truth and Reality need no validation. The God of all things; His Immanence, Supremacy, Justice, Wholism is irrefutable, inviolable, scientifically and conscientifically inveterate.

37. That is the meaning and significance of "Naam Aokhad", or of


"Puran Jyot Jagah Ghatt Maheh,
Tab Khalis, Tahe Neh-Khalis Janeh"

( The kindlement of Inner Light, that dispels darkness and cleanses the dirt, must rise and spread to show the way, to noble thinking, living and doing, for the establishment of Noble Human Order, of piety and Saint-hood, of God and goodness; for peace, progress, prosperity of the material, interwined and reinforced in spiritual affluence, for performance of overall excellence ).
