THE Vedhas are inspired by the holy spirit of Divine Mercy;
they seek to transmit to humanity the secrets of a happy life here and of
Liberation for ever. They reveal the essence of the Divine Glory. They are the
source of spiritual knowledge over the millennia for all mankind. The Vedhas
and the Intellect, which man is endowed with as a gift from God to separate
good from evil, are the means by which the culture of this land is to be
preserved and promoted. When the Vedhic treasure house is explored with
intelligence, the Aathma-thathwa (essential nature of the Self) becomes clear
and when that is recognised, man becomes eternally happy and full of peace.
This treasure was slighted and neglected as a result of the fascination for
outlandish ways of life, but, since some years, the feeling of reverence and
the readiness to repent have appeared among the people.
This Conference is itself a sign of revival. You are
allotted the task of bringing once again to the homes of the people the message
of Aathmic strength and Aathmic unity. Transmuting 'man' into 'God' and
experiencing that Aanandha (Bliss) is the one and only achievement for which
life is to be devoted. The efforts you make in your own places are directed to
bring this goal into the awareness of each person. Of course, there are in
existence many organisations and societies engaged in distributing various
cures for the 'spiritual' 'ills of their constituents, and therefore, a
question may arise about the need for this additional institution. The need has
arisen to emphasise the basic and essential discipline, which is practical and
universal, as prescribed since ages for the revelation of the Divine in man.
