Rohit Gita - III
Rohit: Swami! We should not follow a wrong person at any cost.
Swami: Yes, Rohit! You are absolutely correct in this point
It is better to be in zero if not plus, but should not be minus
But one should try and succeed to achieve the plus
Fearing that you may fall in minus you should not be in zero
The system should not be discarded due to fear of error
Fearing copying the examination system should not be cancelled
You must be patient in studying the procedure for plus
You must achieve the highest goal, which has lot of risk
Without taking the risk one can not achieve the highest goal
Since you are trying for the highest goal, which is the Lord
The Lord will help you by catching you from the deviation
What you say shall apply in the case of materialistic matters
But in spiritual matters the help of the Lord is there with you
You have to climb the steps with your own effort only
But if you slip, certainly the Lord will come to your rescue
That much help is justified and it is not partiality shown to you
Such help will be extended to any traveler in the spiritual path.
God is unimaginable and so all His inseparable characteristics
Also become unimaginable, you cannot directly detect Him.
You can say that this is fire since it is hot, a direct detection
But when fire and heat are unimaginable, how to detect?
The Veda says that God can be detected by negative analysis
That is to reject every imaginable item as not God
‘Neti Neti’ means every item of the creation is rejected
By the sages who said that this is not God, this is not God
Finally they rejected all the items of the creation as not God
God is unimaginable and is beyond this entire creation
The Veda says “Yatovachah” No Word can indicate God;
“Aprapyamanasa” Mind cannot imagine God;
“Namedhaya” The intelligence cannot discuss God;
“Naisha Tarkena” God is beyond all imaginations;
“Yasyaamatam” Know that God can never be known
The Gita says “Maamtuveda Nakaschan” None can know God
Regarding God, the scriptures are only the authority
If the story stops at this stage, you need not worry about God
When we are unable even to imagine God, why God?
The real story starts now only because God becomes known
But He is known not directly but only indirectly only
Perception is not the only single authority of the truth
Inference is also an equal authority to know the truth
Direct knowledge of the object through senses is perception
Indirect knowledge of the object through analysis is inference
You see the fire directly with your eyes and say it is fire
This is perception and no identifying mark is necessary.
The inseparable characteristics of the fire are also seen
The fire is burning and very hot as known by senses
The inseparable characteristics are also grasped by senses
Burning and heat are the inseparable characteristics of the fire
Similarly, if you take the case of God, perception is impossible
Neither God nor His inseparable characteristics are perceived
God enters an imaginable item of the creation and gives
The proof of His existence through that medium
The proof is not His inseparable characteristics at all
Because they are also unimaginable like Himself
He will make a characteristic of the medium itself
Wonderful which is imaginable but special
Special means that it is not seen in another place
Knowledge or Jnanam is imaginable sign of the medium.
Every human being has some amount of knowledge
But when God enters the human body, the knowledge there
Becomes Prajnanam, which is the special knowledge
The Veda says “Prajnanam Brahma”, no human being can show
This Prajnanam, it is special only to human incarnation
Thus Prajnanam is imaginable characteristic of human being
So that imaginable human beings can grasp it
But at the same time it is special that is wonderful
However, Prajnanam is not the inseparable sign of God
It is not the sign of God at all, no sign of God is known
But at it acts as inseparable sign of God by which
Only the existence of God is known and this does not mean
God is known, the existence of unknown God is known
We have recognized a person hidden in a house
By His special voice, by voice you cannot know
The inseparable signs of the person like height, colour etc.,
By the yellow thread in the neck you know the lady is married
And she has a husband alive, only that much is known
By the yellow thread we have not seen her husband
She may donate any jewel to any one but not the yellow thread
The yellow thread can act as inseparable sign of her husband
But the color and height of the husband are not seen by it
Therefore the yellow thread can act as inseparable sign
Similarly, Prajnanam acts as inseparable sign of the Lord
The human form with Prajnanam is like the married lady
Prajnanam is the yellow thread and the Lord is like husband
Prajnanam is the main characteristic of human incarnation
Love and bliss are associated with Prajnanam always
But, the reverse is not true, you may see love and bliss
But Prajnanam need not be with love and bliss.
Love and bliss can be obtained in the world also
They are limited and expressed as “Anandamaya Kosa”
Every human being is having love and bliss in him
Love and bliss are inseparable since Veda says that one gets
Bliss through love only “Rasam hyeva… Anandee”.
In fact love and bliss of human beings are finite only
But the love and bliss of human incarnation are infinite
You may misunderstand the love and bliss of a human being
To be infinite, because you have not seen their infinity
Since you have not come to the human incarnation.
Even the finite knowledge of a person may appear to you
As infinite knowledge since you have not received it yet
From the real human incarnation, yes, the subject is
Very very complicated and this is called “Brahmma Jnanam”
You have to catch the original diamond very carefully
At every step artificial diamonds stand before you.
The detection of the Lord in human form is His divine game
The wrong persons claiming as human incarnations are
The artificial diamonds created by the Lord only
An examiner gives four answers to a multiple-choice question
Three answers are wrong and one answer is correct
Using your analysis you must find the correct answer
Remember, the wrong answers are also set by the same examiner
Please understand the delightful divine game of the Lord
The producer of cinema also remunerates the villain
The role is Saturn, which opposes the human incarnation
The villain opposes hero in the cinema only
The actors of villain and hero are good friends personally!
Jesus told “Hate the sin but not the sinner” means the same
The Hero hates the villain in the cinema only
There is no hatred between the two actors
Lord Vishnu and Jaya love each other in the upper world
Jaya is the gatekeeper of Lord Vishnu, most faithful servant
Vishnu acted as Rama and Jaya acted as Ravana
Rama fought with Ravana and killed him in the war
It is the entire apparent cinema only, hate Ravana but not Jaya
There is no Ravana really, there is really Jaya only
Ravana is the role and Jaya is the actor
Role is inert dress only, Jaya is the living being
Therefore you should not hate the wrong person also
Oppose the wrong theory of the wrong person
His wrong theory is also the dialogue written by the Lord
When Shisupala scolded Krishna, Krishna was smiling,
Because all those abuses were written dialogues of Krishna
As actor Shisupala is Jaya and Krishna is Vishnu
Jesus opposed the attraction from Saturn that is all
Jesus never scolded Saturn or even the people killing Him
He knows that they are roles in the drama
And their abuses were written dialogues of God
Therefore, argue with wrong persons and analyze truth
Reject their wrong arguments, which are false
But love them as your friends, realizing that
They are the set roles in this divine drama by the Lord only.
You have to catch the human form, no alternative,
Except in the human form God remains unimaginable
Even if you have caught correctly, He is not in your grip
This Prajnanam gives the inference of the God
The smoke is associated sign of fire but it is inseparable
You have seen the smoke and not the fire at all
You have inferred the existence of fire only
You can infer God through the human incarnation
The Veda says “Asteetyeva” which means that at the maximum
You can infer the existence of God but not His perception
By seeing the bridge you can infer the existence of Engineer
But you cannot infer the place where exactly Engineer exists now
Similarly, on seeing this universe, you can infer existence of God
But you cannot infer the exact place of the existence of God
Prajnanam gives the exact existence of God
Like the voice of the engineer coming out from a house.
The bridge is universe and the house is a particular human body
Remember that the medium into which God enters must be
Only the human being because knowledge can be only
In the human being, not in inert statues, plants, and animals
Inert objects give the existence of physical materialistic item
Plants give the extra existence of life, animals give still more
Extra existence of mind, finally human beings give
Extra existence of intelligence, which gives knowledge.
Since Prajnanam means special knowledge, which is not present
In any other human being, finally this concludes that
Only a particular human being is the special human incarnation
This may kindle jealousy and egoism in human beings,
I cannot help in this matter since it is the bitter truth.
The Gita says that He comes in the human form only.
The incarnation has not come for the sake of entire humanity
It has come only for those human beings who have conquered
The egoism and jealousy and craved for the God to come down
Therefore human incarnation is not the subject of all
For all the people the incarnation acts as ordinary man only
Krishna never told to any one that He is God
Except to Gopikas and Arjuna who were great sages
Therefore any body with jealousy and egoism need not worry
About the human incarnation which is not his subject
But this fellow does not keep silent with this clarification
He asks the devotee about his experience of the incarnation
The devotee says that he has experienced the Lord in Him
This fellow becomes jealous of the devotee also
He wants that the devotee also should join him
He will plead that God can not be in the human form
He neither experiences nor allows others to experience the Lord
If he has not experienced, others also should not experience
He pleads all should come to formless or statues
Or past dead human incarnations who are in the pictures.
The human incarnation never says to all that He is God
He says and also behaves as an ordinary human being only
But He allows and declares also that He is God
Only to a very few really deserving devotees since
He gives His experience through the medium to them
In which case He can say that He is God, nothing wrong.
As Nikhil rightly pointed out that all this is divine game (Leela)
If one remembers this single point in his entire life
He is never disturbed by any situation because
Even if he is scolded by some body, he is happy
Since he is a part of drama for the entertainment of Lord
The person who scolds is an actor with his dialog
The person who is scolded is also an actor, who weeps
The scolding and weeping are directed by the Lord
Both are in the service of the Lord only
You have to withdraw from the worries of the world
You must become peaceful by such detachment
This is the state of self-realization by becoming self
Then you must identify the Lord in the human form
With the help of His wonderful and blissful knowledge
You taste the bliss of the Lord just for His identity
The self-peace and bliss from Lord are only intermediate
They should not be permanent since both are selfish
You have to sacrifice both the peace and bliss
For pleasing the Lord through His service
Service is worry related to the work of the Lord
Therefore you are transferred from world-worry to
The worry in the work of God that is divine service
Peace and bliss are temporary only in the interval.
Jesus ended with terrible worry in the work of the Lord
He did not end in selfish peace and bliss
He also asked the devotees to sacrifice wealth and come
He stated that unless one leaves his family and even life
Cannot be His dear disciple.
He also stated that He has come with knowledge sword
Not to establish peace in the family of the devotees
He said that He would divide the family members
All this indicates worry and disturbance in the service
And not the selfish bliss and selfish peace
The life histories of devotees clearly show
Lot of worries and problems, not peace and bliss.
