What Is the Background of Central Excise Day?

The Central Excise Day aims at commemorating the Central Excise and Salt Act, which first came into existence on 24th February 1944. 

However, as per the responsibility of the Board, it deals with some other acts too i.e, Customs Act, 1962, Customs Tarriff Act, 1975, Central Excise Act, 1944 and Service Tax Act. But after the enactment of Goods and Services Tax (GST), the working of the Board is concerned with GST related acts now. 

What Are the Taxes for a Soul? 

The place or Lok where we are living in is perishable and belongs to the Satan Kaal Brahm who is the master of 21 universes. And has been cursed to eat 1 lakh humans every day, and produce the same 1.25 lakh in quantity. And that is the reason we are rotating into the cycle of birth and death as we are the food for Satan after our deaths. 

Because this place belongs to Satan, he demands rent/taxes in the form of a deposit of Sat Bhakti from us. And in the absence of the same we are forced to move into the brutal cycle of birth and death into 84 lakh species and experience the pain everytime again and again. 

The Supreme Almighty God Kabir comes down from our eternal abode Satyalok (where we used to reside earlier) to provide us Sat Bhakti and take our souls back by preaching His True Spiritual Knowledge or Tatvagyan to end our continuous agony in birth and death. 

What Is Sat Bhakti and Who Is giving It?

Sat Bhakti or True devotion is the recitation of true mantras as per our Holy Scriptures i.e. Holy Geeta ji chapter 17 verse 23 which is OM-TAT-SAT, TAT and SAT are the indicative words, exact words are to be revealed by a Tatvadarshi Saint along with their method of recitation (Holy Geeta ji chaper 4:34). 

In a world where the Satan exists in all directions, Supreme God Kabir comes Himself in the form of Tatvadarshi Saint and highlights the true path of worship. And thus exposing all the false religious sects and sages who are misleading innocent devotees from attaining salvation and making their human life successful. Kabir Saheb says:

Manush janam paye kar jo nahi rate Hari Naam |

Jaise kuua jal bina fir banwaya kya kaam ||

Currently, Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj has been sent by the Supreme God Kabir on the Holy land of Haryana for His pious souls to gain the True Spiritual Knowledge and recognize the Supreme Almighty Kabir and thus make them do Sat Bhakti to let their souls become free from this cruel world and become immortal forever.
