Due to obvious mistakes, AMPS Publications books have become very
dangerous in certain cases. All the books should be carefully reviewed,
edited, and fixed to perfectly represent Sadguru’s teachings. It is the
duty of every disciple of Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji to take this matter
very seriously and try to correct those errors. Otherwise in the future
people will not forgive us. They will think very poorly of us as we
could not properly pass on Guru’s teachings to the next generation.
Rather the wrong information was handed down. The conclusion is that all
Ananda Marga books should be fixed and made proper.
Ananda Marga philosophy says, "The scriptures containing spiritual injunctions must be totally flawless." (2)

Treatments). That is where the correct guideline has been given.
The above Bangla version is correct. The faulty English version created a crisis in the life of a diabetic patient in my unit.

By mistake You have come
Note: If you are at the dinner table talking to your close companion who
is seated next to you and looking directly at you, already you have
their full attention. In that case, you need not address them by saying
“O”. If you say “O” they may get irritated. So prefacing an appellation
for God with “O’” such as in O’ Lord is not appropriate in our Ananda
Marga. Saying “O’ Lord” signifies that that Divine Entity is far away -
i.e. in the 7th sky or heaven - and that one must cry out to reach them.
And that goes against the spirit of bhakti.
In our Ananda Marga, we know that Parama Purusa is watching us always.
He is never far - always He resides in the heart witnessing all we
think, do, and say. Hence there is no need to call out to Him using the
phrases, “O’ God”, “ O’ Lord etc.” One may simply address Him in a
natural manner without the “O” preface and He will certainly listen to
your call.
"Ámár hiyáy bhúl kare háy,ese gecho prabhu tumi ájike..." (Prabhat Samgiita #0330)
Purport:
Parama Purusa, You have come in my heart - unintentionally and by
mistake - without any plan. For ages and ages I was calling You. Today I
see that in filling the earth with the spell of Your beauty You have
graciously come to me. Prabhu, You have taken advent to spiritually
intoxicate all and overflow everyone's heart with joyous, divine songs
and dance.
Baba, I light a lamp at Your altar, and pour forth unto You all the
nectar of prema of my heart. Your spiritual glow and refulgence alone
has illumined my entire being.
The Yamuna (holy river) of my mind breaks into a flood tide - and begins
going upstream. All the flows of my mind are pointedly rushing only
towards You. Baba, Your surging waves of unending love have vibrated my
whole existence. I don’t have any virtue; by mistake You have come, O'
Lord, in my heart. It is Your causeless grace...
