New Years Message

From Paramahamsa Hariharananda

My affectionate and divine disciples:

I'm writing you in this auspicious beginning of the New Year.

God is all pervading. He is in the whole world. Along with this, He is abiding in the head, in the Fontanel, of every human being. There are fifty types of breath. Forty-nine types are for the material world and the extrovert. This is why all human beings cannot get God-realization. Only one breath, the shortest breath, can give anyone calmness, which is Godliness. God is hiding in the head of every human being and He's inhaling. He's inhaling with the shortest breath. This is why you are alive. If you watch, in the Fontanel, then surely you will feel pulsation in the Fontanel. Take 4 to 5 short breaths. Then you will hear the divine sound on the top of your head. Take another 4 to 5 breaths, with the shortest breath, watch and search Him in the Fontanel.

Time and tide wait for no one. 1999 is just over, and 2000 is here. If you constantly seek Him - you will be liberated. All of you please pray: Supreme Almighty Lord you gave us divine inspiration in 1999. So we humbly request You to give us constant awareness of Your indwelling presence in this New Year. You are the sole doer. You are abiding in every human being. Inhalation is the life. This is why our five sense organs and whole body is activating. Whatever I will hear, I will feel that you are hearing through my ear. The touch sensation that I am feeling is your living presence. In the New Year let me realize that the seer and seen are one and always have been one. Whenever I taste anything let me feel your presence that you are giving such varieties of taste through the four types of eating chewing, sucking, licking and drinking. Give us God-realization through our taste.

Dead man cannot smell, it is You who is hiding within and You are inhaling it is why we are getting the varieties of smell. In this New Year give us constant awareness of Your indwelling presence by which we will get 100 years life, liberation, prosperity, peace, all-round development. And before and after and while performing actions we will watch Thee in the New Year. We want to bow to You for attaining purity and perfection.

You all take my deepest affection and enjoy the blessings of God and Gurus.

Note: One of the things that appears to be quite helpful is something Baba says early in his message. To emphasize:
... Only one breath, the shortest breath, can give anyone calmness, which is Godliness. God is hiding in the head of every human being and He's inhaling. He's inhaling with the shortest breath. This is why you are alive. If you watch, in the Fontanel, then surely you will feel pulsation in the Fontanel. Take 4 to 5 short breaths. Then you will hear the divine sound on the top of your head. Take another 4 to 5 breaths, with the shortest breath, watch and search Him in the Fontanel.
