Emotional Revolution |

In today's world, it seems the only parameters of success are money, power, and fame. With this mindset, rampant materialism has brought havoc to modern society. There is a complete lack of emotional richness in daily grind of individuals, societies, and nations. The world, it seems, revolves around the self-interest of individual or a "privileged few". The 'self' is in dire need of transformation. Unless the 'self' is connected to the Divine, happiness and contentment remain obscure concepts. If a human being acquires an understanding of his divine relationship with God and with his fellow man, a "divine brotherhood under the fatherhood of God" can be created. Rev. Dadaji has used devotion ("bhakti") to create such an emotional (bhavanatmak) revolution. A human being may not be blood-related to his fellow human; however, he is related to him by virtue of having the same Divine "blood-maker". By understanding this divine relationship, he has successfully eliminated the barriers of various types from society. By imparting the understanding that "We are the children of one God", Rev. Dadaji has brought intimacy in human relationships. Furthermore, he has expounded upon the relationship between man & nature and, as well as the relationship between man & God. Man usually worships God out of self-interest or fear. Instead, Dadaji has introduced the concept of "intellectual love towards God". The practice of a daily reminder in the form of Trikal Sandhya fosters divine gratitude; this practice eventually leads to the desire to offer one's energy & efficiency to God. This creation of a divine, intellectual love for God leads to an active and dynamic form of instrumental devotion ("bhakti"). It is the practice of this philosophy that has resulted in an emotional revolution. This global family (Pariwar) of Yogeshwar, which is a manifestation of 'brotherhood of men under fatherhood of God' is in stark contrast to hostility and all-round dissatisfaction of modern times. |
