Message of Sadguru
Parama Pujya Sri Ganapati Sachchidadananda Swamiji
on Jan 1st 2005 for New Year
New Year Greetings and Blessings to all.
At the end of the year 2004, Tsunami spelt death knell to thousands. This has caused great distress. Pray to Almighty that the departed soul finds better place. Help and serve those in suffering. This should be your new year resolution. This is my new year message.
Numerological consideration of the year 2005 hints both good and not so good. The number “2” reflects DVANDVA (dual nature). Number “5” hints INDRIYAS (five sense organs). Of the two zeros, one is for emptiness and the other for fullness.
We can say that with the help of the FIVE sense organs conquer the mind’s DVANDVA (dual nature – Should I do this or that?, Is this good or that Good? – Such dual natured confusions) which leads to ZERO – Fullness or Happiness. They are achievers. Their good desires get fulfilled. Those who cannot control their FIVE sense organs and cannot conquer their monkey mind, will yield to the DVANDVA (dual nature) and will fall in depression, emptiness. Conquer five and win two and get a zero. OR don’t conquer zero and the two and get the other zero.
We again wish greetings and Blessings for the new year and pray to Datta to Bless everyone with health, knowledge, longevity, prosperity.
Sri Guru Datta
