Aradhana that was uninterruptedly pursued 1

The omnipotent God can only be 'Nirakar' (formless). God is known as Parmatma which means that which includes and exceeds all living beings (Jivatmas). It is Virat-Brahma or Virat Visva. Shri Krishna had shown a vision of this cosmic or universal God to arjuna and Yashoda. Kaushalya and Kakbhusundi had also seen a glimpse of God in the form of entire universe. According to this conception public service becomes Aradhana of Virat-Brahma. Man has been sent to make this universe, a garden of god, happy and prosperous. The significance of human life lies in fulfillment of this aim which is known as Aradhana

I have been doing this. Out of the twelve hours of night, four hours were spent regularly in Upasana and the rest in sleep and other daily routine. If a person is lazy and careless, his whole time is spent haphazardly and in a disorganized way, but if he girds up his loins, remains vigilant, marvelous works can be accomplished. During twelve hours of the day, leaving two hours for food, rest and other routine, a net period of ten hours remains in hand. I have been using this period of the day regularly in doing work for the welfare of the people. These activities of Aradhana can be classified as under:

(1)Writing and publication of magazines, books, literature etc. for refinement of the minds and attitudes of the people in accordance with the ideals of Yug-cetna.

(2) To inspire and provide guidance to truly aspiring souls to adopt a way of life in accordance with Yug-dharma (needs of the Time spirit);

(3) To give advice to those who have turned to me for guidance and counseling for elevating their souls to enable them to overcome their personal difficult and build a happy future based on high principles.

Innumerable persons came in my contact and a majority of them were changed, enlightened and benefited. It is not possible to describe the events and mention the names of such persons since it is not my habit to do so. Moreover, it will becomes a voluminous book even if only certain events which I still member are reduced into writing. But the person's concerned may object to it. The practice of expressing gratitude is almost extinct now. It will, therefore, not be proper on my part to say anything about these events. Besides, by disclosing the bounty of good deeds, the efficacy of the virtue gets diminished.

There is, however, no doubt that these services have been very effective. Uptill now (1989), more than twenty-four lakh persons are associated with Pragya parivar. However the number of those who have been deeply influenced by the principles and ideals of the mission would be around one-third. Majority of them consists of those persons who have received enlightenment, affection, help, advice and divine gifts from me in their personal life. They had come rushing to me greatly worried and afflicted with grave problems and returned with solace and peace. This is the reason that such a large family has been built up. If it was all based on mere ideology and principles, the membership of Gayatri parivar would have remained limited like arya samaj and Sarvodya samaj and the atmosphere of personal intimacy and cordiality would not been have established. There had been much pressure in Mataji on account of rush of visitors, their arrival at odd times and in making  arrangements for have been amply rewarded by the affection and love which we have been  earned in return. All that we have done for the people is being repaid with interest in the form of this affection and love. Thus it cannot be said to be a losing proposition.
