Gurudev\u2019s house in Brahmanisthalaya, Village of Sogra (Shakradhar), near the City of Jashpur, District of Raigarh (Madhya Pradesh).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>March 27th, 1982; 3.45 am<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Once when I met the Old Grandmother, she told me: \u201cOh, Ascetic! One day I met Chethariya Vir Baba. That time, while he was speaking about a Sadhu Gurudev living in an Ashram in Shakradhar, he told me that this was an Audhar (Odhar), an Abhyadhar. The syllable \u2018Dha\u2019 in the word \u2018Audhar\u2019 was used in ancient times; now it has been replaced with \u2018Gha\u2019, and, in this way, this word has turned into \u2018Aughar\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Chethariya Vir Baba told me that Abhyadhars\u2019 firm determination actually is Abhyadhar. I too knew it but I understood it better when Chethariya Vir Baba explained it to me. The \u2018Abhyadhars\u2019 are those beings who, renouncing all God\u2019s material creations, wander in the freedom of Pran. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Their name shouldn\u2019t be \u2018Aughars\u2019 but \u2018Abhyadhars\u2019. Oh, they have very little to do with Hatha Yogis. They are innocent like you and consider the Divine Mother to be their very mother.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Abhyadhars are rare and it isn\u2019t so easy to find them.\u00a0 Are you too living there?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">After I confirmed it to her, the Old Grandmother started again: \u201cThis is a strange situation, Baba. Virtues and vices are like morning and night. Sometimes one\u2019s legs are on one\u2019s head, and sometimes one\u2019s head is on one\u2019s legs. The arrogant cloud makes it always rain. After we have met our needs, we should rightly live our life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Baba! In truth restrained needs are the stairs that lead to heaven, but what is heaven? Heaven is nothing but a degenerate, rotten, artificial and empty imagination. One day by tolerance and patience you will root out every desire and ambition living inside your body; at that moment your mental state will be like the state of heaven, a divine happiness! Even wishing a straw makes a man poor. Here poverty doesn\u2019t involve religion but the feelings of being sad. Wishing a straw brings great pain and trouble. The one who renounces even this wish is called Sadhu, he is the only one who can live an easy and simple life. The one who takes no interest in the complications of ambition is called Abhyadhar or Oghar.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Telling these wise things the Old Grandmother started again, smiling, and said: \u201cI think that you are that Abhyadhar Sadhu Chethariya Vir Baba told me but how can I say? He too knows that you aren\u2019t careless but that you are very wise and prudent instead. I wonder if this short meeting can have gladdened you.\u201d I said: \u201cYes, Grandmother! Speaking isn\u2019t a sin. Grandmother! In truth isn\u2019t the mastery of Mantra (Mantrodhar) called harmonizing and leading the limitless illusion like stars of the unbounded mind? The mastery of Mantra is indicative of the Abhyadhar.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Old Grandmother replied: \u201cYes, it is complementary to the Aughar. A renewed and changed conduct is complementary to the Aughar as well. If you meet the Abhyadhars again after a long time, their conduct and attitudes will be different compared to the previous meeting. For instance, in the same way, you should understand how the name \u2018Mara\u2019 (death) turns into \u2018Rama\u2019. When you repeat a name to infinity its original shape will change and it will turn into a different name. So people yield and absorb this change, they turn for the worse and the original reality of the name disappears. Moreover this reality seems a patched piece of clothing of which is very hard to see the entire extent of its former cloth. The end of vice is called \u2018treasure\u2019. So how can we obtain the treasure of virtues? With holy company (satsang), seeing pious people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">I said to her: \u201cOld Grandmother! When your eyebrow are like the bow, then the fresh sound coming from your nostrils is the incarnation of purity. At that moment the natural beauty of your face under your nostrils goes beyond the meaning of any word. When you speak, the sky falls silent and, as enraptured, enjoys the ecstasy that the pleasant and joyful sound of your mouth brings, even repeating any mantras cannot give such a delight. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Old Grandmother! Your blessing has led me to the highest top of siddhis. Old Grandmother! In you I see the immortal being. You are the very immortal creature where time stops existing. Yes, in practice a life made of possible and impossible things doesn\u2019t touch the mind. Old Grandmother! You open and reveal to us the complex literary language held in the book of our heart. Now I feel only the need to understand this very grace. Grandmother, Old Grandmother! It\u2019s true, you are Saraswati!\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shriaghoreshwar.org\/contenuto\/subsections\/125\/Image\/Padhuka-150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"141\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The characteristics of the Abhyadhars &nbsp; Dialogue between the Old Grandmother and Aghoreshwar.
