Spiritual Revolution

The word "spiritual" typically conjures up images of mesmerism, hypnotism, and the like. However, the Sanskrit scriptures have a very precise definition of the word spirituality (adhyatma): "aatmani adhi iti adhyatma", meaning all that which is performed in accordance with the wishes of the soul (aatma)is spirituality.

A question which troubles the thinking person is: how can one worship the Universal Power, the Creator? What should one offer to Him? Rev. Dadaji explains that the true worship of God consists of taking the divine thoughts of the Vedas and Bhagavad-Gita to others in a selfless manner. One's intellect is an incomparable gift from God. It behooves a human being to use this gift to take these divine thoughts to the masses.

As such, our lives are predominantly consumed by the pursuit of selfish motives. At least part of our time should be devoted to the divine work of reminding people of God's selfless love and taking His thoughts to people.

In observance of the Ekadashi vrat, a large mass of humanity has started performing selfless work and giving selfless love. Without caring for their personal gain, tens of thousands of krutisheels have been going on regular devotional visits (Bhakti-Pheri).

Dadaji also explains that offering one's efficiency to God can be a form of worship, very much like Arjun used his war skills to fight for true religion and the spread of God's work.

Spirituality does not necessitate forsaking the life of a householder and staying in a cave in a remote area. Even in his daily life, one can experience it.

The Swadhyayee revolution is a revolution in thinking. It is an extraordinary revolution by so-called "ordinary" human beings. Offering one's efficiency to God is true devotion. By imparting this understanding, Dadaji has brought the nishkaam karma yoga of Geeta to the lives of common men. His numerous experiments will continue to guide the world for centuries.
