World Message 1926

Message meant to be read at Monghyr in 1926, but read at Midnapur in 1927****

To,

All My Dear Mothers and Fathers

all over India and elsewhere

♦    A great storm is raging in My heart today. Innumerable thoughts arise in a second in a mad man’s mind and disappear the next moment in the boundless ocean. I have not known nor do I know of any power by which these thoughts can be expressed either in writing or by speech.

♦    Listen to a secret. I have nothing to hide, to keep back. I shall give out everything. When I have allowed Myself to be bound, then where lies the necessity of strings etc? When you have once caught hold of Me, keep holding on, remembering this to be the play of the Lord.

♦    This objective universe is My stage to play upon. From the beginning of time have I come to play on this stage. But how much ‘Hide and seek’ still? My life is but a riddle.

♦    Nowadays My mind and along with it My body have gradually become tired. I do not know for how long such condition will prevail. I cannot bear any more these fetters on four sides. The play has now become old. I do not find any pleasure therein. Now I have to be ready for a new play in a new country. If I remain it is good and if I go, then there is no harm. Would that I become yours and you become Mine in every life.

♦    The spiritual world today is sinking into deep darkness. Therefore it is that even greatly wise men seeing a false light but thinking it to be the real light, run after it in the expectation of getting peace. Subsequently disillusioned they fall into double darkness and misery. Therefore it is but meet that you should always remain careful.

♦    When you are My own do not think of My coming and going away. Where does the question of my appearance and disappearance come in? Can you say in respect of a magician that he really disappears when in the presence of hundreds of spectators, he jumps into the sea and makes himself invisible by throwing dust in the their eyes? He is, as a matter of fact, all along amongst the spectators, but nobody makes it out. As well, do you know about My appearances and disappearances? Is this a great wonder? Yet this simple matter has come to be unsolved riddle to the learned.

♦    Further a player who has thrice to appear on the stage and act in one particular play, can never after his first or second appearance, totally disappear and leave the play. He only changes his dress and remains sitting amongst all and no sooner the time comes than he again puts on the proper dress and continues playing his part. The actor changing his dress can remain amongst the spectators unrecognized by them, but he cannot go out of the sight of the other members of the theatrical company. In whatever dress he may be dressed they all recognize him at once. Therefore do I say that they do not belong to the inner circle, who set their minds thinking about such disappearances.

♦    You are My own; therefore you have no reason to be anxious. You remain in happiness, while seeing this I would go away.

♦    You are Mine. Each one of you is My living report. Therefore do I desire you to become totally pure.

♦    Leaving your own husband do not go to serve another. His love will be of the eyes only, not of the heart. His love will be for two days only. Therefore do I say that for two days love do not waste your life’s happiness. Remain the most beloved of the husband.

♦    Go on playing your part with what remains. Such is My final wish.

Yours affectionately,

Hara

****The Haranath Society, Bombay released the message on 4.6.1927 AD to be read at the Midnapore Janmotsav, with the foreword, “We record with deep and inexpressible sorrow the sudden departure of our Beloved Thakur Shree Haranath Banerjee of Sonamukhi universally known as Pagal Haranath on 25^th May 1927 AD at 9 p.m. at Sonamukhi. His accompanying Message to the public, final as it is, though received for publication on the occasion of the Janmotsav of last year (1926 at Monghyr) we were very reluctant to print and was therefore withheld. It is now published for the benefit of the public as He desired emphatically in His recent last two letters to print it and give it to the world.”
