The human form of God, only can deliver the knowledge Except the human form of God, no other form can deliver the knowledge and this is the exceptional value of human incarnation. You may say that God can speak even through inert forms or other living beings due to His omnipotence but such exhibition of unimaginable power without real necessity indicates the brainless administration of God. When the human form is naturally available to serve the purpose, there is no meaning to use superpower through other forms for the same purpose. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was crossing the river by a boat paying one rupee to the driver. Another saint crossed the same river by walking on water to show his super power. Paramahamsa told him that the cost of his super power is just one rupee! God is not such foolish saint, but God is such wise Paramahamsa! www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

You are excused by God for the past sin provided….. The only way to stop the punishment of sin Realization is the process of effort to change the soul and reformation is the actual change of the soul. If the soul is reformed, the proof for it is that the sin is not practically repeated. If this result is achieved, there is no need of punishment. The punishment is not for the sake of past sin, since past is past. The punishment is only to change the soul so that in future the sin is not repeated. The day you have stopped repeating the sin, you are excused by God for the past sin. This is the only way to stop the punishment of sin, which is in the form of problems of life. If you have stopped all the sins, your life will be the happiest and for this you need not pray even God. Prayer to God will not cancel even the trace of the sin. Ravana prayed Lord Shiva in several ways, but, he could not escape the punishment of his sin. If you are committing sin, you are violating the word of God and going against the will of God. God wants you not to commit any sin. His word is the ethical scripture, which says that you should not commit any sin. The sin will disturb the balance of the society since it hurts the co-living beings. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

For eating flesh if you kill, then it is a sin Non-vegetarian food by it self is not a sin since the analysis of it shows that its contents are the same as exist in vegetarian food. The sin comes by killing a co-living being, which does not harm you at all. If you stop taking non-vegetarian food, killing of living beings is proportionally controlled. Do not say that you are not getting sin since you have not killed the living being directly. Killing is the highest sin, which gives highest pain to the living being. In the next birth, the killed living being will be born as human being, you will be born as the living being and you will be killed similarly by the human being so that your soul will realize the pain and get reformed. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

The way to cancel your sins All the punishments are only for reformation of the soul and not for revenge. The hell is created by God not with vengeance against sinners but due to kindness to reform the souls. God is always kind to reform the souls, which are His children since the souls are created by Him. The father will never have even a trace of vengeance towards his issues. Jesus always addressed God as father and He propagated this concept by saying that all your sins will be excused by God if you are reformed. Practical knowledge, the practical realization, which is the reformation, will cancel all your previous bad deeds or sins as told in Gita (Jnanaagnih….). Except this one way, there is no other way to cancel the sins and escape from all the present problems in the world and future torture in the hell. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

If you are not doing any sin, you are excused for all past sins The results of all your good actions will be separate and will not interfere with the cancellation of sins. God will give you good results for all your prayers and any prayer will not cancel even a trace of your sin. Similarly, your charity. If these good actions can reform you, then, your sins will be cancelled. Therefore, reformation of the soul is the only way by which God is pleased to cancel your sins. Even if you do not believe in God, it does not matter. If you are not doing any sin, you are excused for all past sins and you will live with immense happiness in the world and after death also. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

If you are doing a sin, you are going against the will of God You cannot please God by prayers and service simultaneously doing sins. If you are doing a sin, you are going against the will of God and you are insulting God. You cannot please and insult God simultaneously. Therefore, every devotee and servant of God should be careful about the concept of the sin and about the only path to cancel the sin. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

Non-vegeteraian: Jesus, Mohammad, Krishna, Bhudha Jesus tried to remove the cruelty from the hearts of the people so that in course of time people will change the non-vegetarian food. It is very difficult to oppose the strong nature in the beginning it self and therefore, He did not oppose the non-vegetarian food. It is the correct psychology of a teacher. Before Him, Lord Krishna existed and He also did not oppose the non-vegetarian food to certain communities at least in India, the reason being the strong ignorance. After Jesus, God came in the form of Mohammad but the time was not proper to preach against non-vegetarian food, since the time gap between them is almost nil. After some time, God came in the form of Buddha, who preached against non-vegetarian food strongly since the time gap was quite substantial for some change in the minds of the people. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

Ego rejects Human incarnation In spite of several miracles exhibited and in spite of excellent preaching, Jesus was insulted and finally killed by the public. The reason is that it is very difficult to recognize the human incarnation of God. If you give the miracle as the inherent characteristic of God, Jesus showed several miracles. Krishna also showed several miracles and even the devotee like Arjuna could not recognize Him as God. If you say that the excellent knowledge is the real characteristic of God, even then, Jesus was not recognized since people could not properly digest it. Even after hearing Gita, Arjuna did not get down from the chariot even though Lord Krishna ordered. It means, Gita was not perfectly digested by Arjuna. Perfect digestion of knowledge means that it should stand in the blood for ever. The decease that hinders the digestion of knowledge in this aspect is ego mingled with jealousy towards a co-human being. The way to remove this decease is to respect every co-human being without any insult and harm. Of course, this point should be exempted from the punishment given to a sinner and from the training of discipline to students. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

The training to recogninse Human incarnation You must treat every co-human being as the human incarnation of God and serve it with all humility and obedience. This is the meaning of “Manavaseva is Madhava Seva”. The result of such training will be that you will never insult the real human incarnation of God coming across yourself in your life. Even if you do not recognize the human form of God, you will not insult it, since you are not insulting any human form. This is the best way to eradicate the ego and jealousy towards human form. This training is again misunderstood and it is propagated that every human being is really God. You must understand the real aim of the saying so that you will not be misled in wrong direction. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

Knowledge is the unlimited characteristics of God Miracle is only a confined characteristic since it is meant only for atheist to prove the existence of unimaginable God through unimaginable events. Knowledge is the unlimited characteristic, which is needed by every human being existing at any level and this is the meaning of the Vedic statement that the true knowledge is unlimited (Satyam Jnanamanantam…..), which is God. This does not again mean that such knowledge itself is God. The characteristic of its possessor is addressed as the characteristic itself. You call the bearer of apples as apples or the bearer of red shirt as the red shirt itself. Hence, the possessor of such knowledge (God) is called as that knowledge itself. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

Shankara corrected the followers of Buddha Buddha kept silent about the unimaginable God and silence is the most truthful expression of the absolute God. He concentrated on the eradication of desire, which is essential requirement to serve God. The followers of Buddha misunderstood His silence as negation of God and became atheists. Shankara condemned the followers of Buddha and not Buddha, who is the 9th incarnation of Lord. To rectify this, Shankara took the formless cosmic energy as God, but such cosmic energy is only a medium into which God can enter. When God enters a medium, such medium becomes God just like the metallic wire becomes current when current enters it. Such charged medium is called as incarnation or relative God. The electrified metallic wire is treated as current and hence the medium charged by God can be also treated as God. The relative God is imaginable and some times visible also if the medium consists of matter. By taking the relative God, the possibility of atheism can be avoided since the relative God is understood. In the case absolute God. You can understand only the existence of God but not any other characteristics of God (Assteetyeva…Veda). In the case of relative God, you can understand not only the existence but also the other characteristics since the characteristics of medium of God can be understood. you may not see the current but if you treat the metallic wire as current, you have seen the current by seeing the electrified metallic wire. The cosmic energy is invisible but imaginable. Shankara told that this relative God is awareness. But the all pervading cosmic energy is inert then, God is not all pervading since awareness is limited to living human beings which are discontinuous. If you take the awareness of human body as God such awareness is not all pervading and also not omniscient. By this the awareness limited to human body is not God. He proposed the all pervading omniscient awareness as God and such God is neither the inert cosmic energy nor the limited human awareness. Such God is not available in the creation and hence the God of Shankara becomes again unimaginable. But if you take the human incarnation like Krishna as God, the awareness limited to the human body of Krishna is all pervading and omniscient. Therefore, if you analyze the God of Shankara, He is only the human incarnation. Shankara Himself being the human incarnation told that He is God. The disciples misunderstood this and extended the concept to themselves and felt that each one of them is God. Shankara swallowed the molten lead and proved that the human incarnation alone is God and not every human being. However, Shankara did not mention the word human incarnation because the atheists were highly egoistic and can never accept the very concept of human incarnation limited to a specific human being only. To satisfy them he told that awareness in every human being is God but the completeness of God can be achieved only by some other specific characteristics like wonderful knowledge, miracles etc. Awareness is only one of the characteristics, which means that God is not inert. A king is a human being but every human being is not the king. Apart from the basic characteristics of a human being, the king has some additional specific characteristics like extraordinary valor, controlling capacity etc., Shankara just introduced the concept of God by mentioning one characteristic called awareness only so that atheist accepts the existence of God event though he fells himself as God due to the single characteristic (awareness). One merit with 99 defects is better than 100 defects. The ego and jealousy are the main hindering factors to accept a human being existing before your eyes as God. This is the most truthful concept but has the most powerful problem of ego and jealousy. Hence, this concept cannot be introduced in Toto in the first instance it self. It has to be introduce partially depending on the concentration of ego and jealousy. At the time of Shankara, all were atheists with the highest concentration of ego and jealousy. Hence, Shankara introduced the human incarnation with out the name and limiting Himself to one characteristic (awareness) only so that every one feels that he is God. Thus, their most powerful ego and jealousy were not hurt and at the same time the concept is introduced by one percent only. Acceptance of the existence of God itself reduces the ego and jealousy. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

Shankara Ramanuja Madhva and Dattaswami When Ramanuja came, the disciples were theists with reduced ego and jealousy. Therefore, He introduced the concept of human incarnation of the upper word called as Narayanana. If the human incarnation of this world is introduced, people will not accept due to their remaining ego and jealousy. Narayana is human incarnation of energetic body and not materialized human body. The medium of Ramanuja was visible energy where as the medium of Shankara was invisible energy. The concept of human form has further reduced the ego and jealousy but still a little remains. Then came Madhva, who introduced the materialized human incarnation of this world as Rama and Krishna. If the contemporary human incarnation is introduced, people will not accept the concept due to remaining traces of ego and jealousy. Hence, the past human incarnation of this world was only introduced by Madhva. He took Hanuman as the best spiritual aspirant who served Rama, His contemporary human incarnation. A little common sense indicates that you have to serve the present contemporary human incarnation only and not the past human incarnation through photos and statues. The photos and statues are inert and your service to these objects cannot be the service to God because God is not inert. Everywhere, you have to remember Shankara, who said that God is awareness and not inert. If the last remains of ego and jealousy are totally removed, you can introduce the contemporary alive human incarnation for service and this last step of the concept is preached by Datta Swami (Myself). All these are steps of progress in the spiritual effort of an aspirant and the preacher must preach according to the stage in which the disciple exists. Unless you examine and estimate the percentage of ego and jealousy in a human being, you should not preach the spiritual knowledge. After estimating the percentage of ego and jealousy only, you have to preach the corresponding relevant step of knowledge and you should not reveal the whole concept also. You should give impression that the relevant concept of a particular stage itself is the ultimate knowledge. You should introduce the next stage of concept only after observing further reduction of ego and jealousy. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

The true knowledge about God You should not say that God is incapable of preaching the characteristics of God and that it shows only the ignorance about God. Most of the people are thinking God as imaginable item like awareness, all pervading energy, visible light, inert matter etc. Negating all these possibilities and establishing the true unimaginable nature of God itself is the perfect and complete knowledge of God. By realizing completely that God is unimaginable, you have attained the true knowledge of God. Nobody other than God can understand God (Brahamavit Brahmaiva….Veda). Therefore, God is not ignorant Himself. The inability to understand God belongs to the limited scope of intelligence of human being and it is not due to incapable explanation of God. A blind man can never see any object, however much it may be explained. The defect lies with the blind man and not with the preacher. The intelligence of any human being cannot cross the spatial dimensions and can never imagine God, the generator of space, existing beyond space without spatial dimensions. The reason for not understanding God is also clearly explained by God. Therefore, God is the best preacher of the ultimate truth and the main purpose of human incarnation is only to preach the true spiritual knowledge, which alone can save any human being in the ultimate sense.

God in the form of a human being can be reffered A soul is a part of creation only Gita says that God is unimaginable and that God enters the human form to be available for the human beings. These two points constitute the essence of the goal i.e., God (Mamtuvedana…., Manusheemtanum…..). You should know that you are a part of the creation only and not the creator or even part of the creator. The creator is unimaginable and you are the soul or the imaginable nature. You are made of body, qualities of the soul and the attribute less soul. The attribute less soul is the inert energy, which is isolated from any type of work. Gita says that the attribute less soul or Atman is inert and workless (Sthanurachalah) and the soul associated with qualities, called as Jeeva, is the inert energy associated with a specific form of work generated in a specific system called as nervous system. These qualities constitute Paraprakruti, which is the basic inert energy generating a specific work called as awareness. The body is made of inert matter, which in association with certain work forms of awareness (Manas, Buddhi and Ahankara) is called as Aparaprakruti. Both these forms of Prakruti or nature constitute the creation. Therefore, you are a small quantum of this creation. As per Gita, the qualified soul (Jeevatman) is only a part of creation or Prakruti (Apareyamitah…) and Purusha is the creator. According to Shankara, the qualified soul including the basic inert soul comes under Prakruti only and Purusha is the creator. The creator is originally unimaginable and cannot be referred by any body. But the creator in the form of a human being can be referred by any body and hence God is always addressed as Purusha or human being.

The path to please God Since, every human being is not God, the specific human being charged by God is called as Purushottama as per Ramanuja. According to Shankara there are only two categories i.e., Purusha or the specific human being charged by God and Prakruti or the creation including all the other human(living) beings (Prakrutimpurushamchaiva). According to Ramanuja, there are three categories i.e., Prakruti or the inert part of creation, Purusha or all the ordinary human beings (living beings) and Purushottama or the specific human being charged by God (Yasmatksharamatitoham). Both these classifications are mentioned in Gita. All this constitutes the knowledge about yourself and God. The link between these two is the path to please God. This path is practical and constitutes the sacrifice of work (Karmasanyasa) and the sacrifice of fruit of work (Karmaphala tyaga). Both these are done by every human being, but, these are done for the sake of self and family and such selfish service is called as Karma. If you replace the self by God, it forms the real path. Both these are mentioned in Gita. The service through sacrifice of work and fruit is called as Karmayoga and the same service done to yourself and your family is called as Karma. The word Yoga denotes the direction towards God. The service (Karma) alone gives the fruit like the plant giving the fruit after growing into a tree. The water and the fertilizer are necessary for growth of plant into a tree. The water is the spiritual knowledge (Jnanayoga) and the fertilizer is the devotion (Bhaktiyoga). The knowledge about yourself and your family is the water and your love towards yourself and your family is the fertilizer in the case of selfish work or Karma. There are some people who sacrifice both work and fruit for the benefit of the society and there is no element of God in their sacrifice. Such people go to heaven for some time and return back to the earth (Kshenepunye…). Such people doing service to the society aspiring some bigger fruit in return are politicians and these people go to hell. There are some people, who do the same service to the society under the direction of human form of God and such people reach and become close to God. They neither love the society like the aspirants of heaven nor do business with the society like politicians. Their service is to the society but their basic love is towards God only. They love the society because God loves the society. If God is not there, they will not care for the society. All these aspects are deeply explained in Gita.

The present human incarnation should be worshiped The Triputi In the Triputi, the triad of God, yourself and the path, God is the most important item. All references must be made to the human incarnation (God who has come in human form in the present time, now here on earth) only and not to the absolute unimaginable God. Therefore, in Gita, all the references were made to Krishna Himself, who is the then living human incarnation. Gita says that Krishna should be worshipped in all the ways and this means that the contemporary human incarnation should be worshipped by all means. Instead of taking this message, people misunderstand that the past human incarnation, Krishna, must be worshipped in all the times. You must use a trace of common sense here that Krishna advised Arjuna to worship Him always because at that time of preaching, Krishna was the contemporary human incarnation. At this point even great scholars slip and to impress this point, it is told that Hanuman worshipped Rama even after His demise and could not accept Krishna as the subsequent human incarnation. The most powerful misleading factors are ego and jealousy, which always repel the contemporary human incarnation since repulsion is inevitable between to co-existing similar forms like human beings. Some people are so much affected by ego and jealousy that they even insult the contemporary human incarnation to pacify their burning ego and jealousy (Avajanatimam..).

Recognize contemporary human incarnation by wonderful knowledge Life is not entered into statues All the statues in the temples are carved in human form only indicating the aspect of human incarnation. The initiation of life into these statues (Pranapratishtha) indicates that the inert matter charged by life i.e., the living human form of God (Human incarnation) should be worshipped. Without taking this aspect, foolish people think that the life entered the statue. The only program of the human incarnation is giving the correct direction to the spiritual aspirant. This program is the main characteristic for the recognition of human incarnation as told in Veda (Satyam Jnanam…) and Gita (Jnaanitvaatmaiva..). The miracles are exhibited only to prove the unimaginable omnipotence of God and if you have already accepted the unimaginable omnipotence of God, the miracles are unnecessary for you. The unimaginable events called as miracles establish that the absolute God present in the human incarnation is unimaginable. In fact, these miracles are very dangerous since these attract you towards solving the problems, which is selfishness and also tempt you to achieve these to become God and thus promoting your ego. You must always recognize the contemporary human incarnation by the wonderful knowledge, which alone is beneficial to you leading you the goal in right path.

Excellent Divine knowledge for Philosophors & Sceintists & Atheists The concept of unimaginable God is already mentioned in Vedas and Gita. It was not elaborated since there was no need in the earlier period, when science was not so much developed. The energetic form of God was thought to be the original God, since the energy can remain in the invisible region as well as the visible region by changing its frequency. The energetic form exists in the invisible region and thus, the energetic form of unimaginable God remained always invisible. By some severe penance, the invisible energetic form becomes visible by changing its frequency and devotees thought that the invisible God became visible to them for sometime. The people in the earlier period called this invisible form of the God as unimaginable. For them, the word unimaginable means the imaginable part that becomes visible by doing serious effort. Thus, the word unimaginable means relatively unimaginable but not absolutely unimaginable. You are able to touch the upper rod of the door by small effort. The roof of the house is untouchable because it cannot be touched by normal effort. After long practice of high jump, somebody is able to touch the roof of the house. Here, the roof of the house is relatively untouchable. The absolutely untouchable is the sky. You should not say that you will touch the sky in future by practicing the high jump. The actual God is absolutely unimaginable. Such God may enter the energetic form called Narayana or He may enter the materialized human form called as Krishna. In the first case, energy is the medium and in the second case, matter is the medium. Both energy and matter are inter-convertible as per science. The same unimaginable God exists in Narayana and Krishna simultaneously due to His unimaginable power. Thus, on analysis, there is no trace of difference between Narayana and Krishna. The people in the early period were not having this knowledge of inter-conversion of matter and energy. The invisible energy was thought special and hence, unimaginable. The concept of absolutely unimaginable God was also not elaborated to them. Since they were satisfied with the invisible energetic form as the absolute unimaginable, there was no need of elaboration of the actual absolutely unimaginable God. Moreover, the electrified wire can be treated as current for all practical purposes since it gives shock at any point. Similarly, the energetic form charged by the unimaginable God can be treated as the absolutely unimaginable God for all practical purposes. They were fully satisfied by seeing Narayana and they were convinced that Narayana was the absolute unimaginable God. When the result was achieved, there is no need of elaborating the hidden absolute truth. But, latter on, science developed and the powerful analysis grew based on practical proof. When the existence of invisible energy is understood, people are not satisfied if you say that the invisible energy is absolutely unimaginable. The invisible energy is a part of creation only and can be seen through electronic instruments. Now there is a danger of entry of atheism because the so far treated unimaginable became imaginable. The very existence of unimaginable item is questioned leading to atheism. For this purpose, there is a need of revealing the absolute truth that was already mentioned in the scriptures. The unimaginable absolute God is the generator of space and hence, is beyond space. The cause can be seen only when the effect is destroyed. The lump of mud is the cause and the pot is the effect. The lump of mud can be seen only when the pot disappears. Similarly, the unimaginable God can be seen only when the space disappears. Your intelligence is always limited to spatial dimensions and cannot imagine anything devoid of spatial dimensions. Therefore, the unimaginable God, being the cause of space has no spatial dimensions and therefore, remains always unimaginable. The knowledge of such unimaginable God and the knowledge of the matter and energy being equal, makes you understand that Narayana and Krishna are one and the same. Matter is the condensed form of energy and hence, the energy can be treated as Father and matter as son. The Father of heaven is the energetic form charged by the unimaginable God. Jesus is the materialized matter-form charged by the same unimaginable God. From the point of view of medium, He told that He is the son of God and from the point of view of internal unimaginable God He told that He and His Father are one and the same. The human incarnation is a single phase of two components, which are God and soul. It is an alloy of Gold and copper. If a trace of Gold is mixed in copper, still it is alloy but it looks like copper only. Similarly, the human incarnation looks like an ordinary human being in which the invisible – unimaginable God is alloyed. This type of combination makes the medium always exhibited with its properties like birth, death, hunger etc. If the properties of the medium are suppressed and the properties of God are exhibited, people get excited and cannot clarify their doubts with the human incarnation. This is the merit of this concept but defect is that people generally neglect the human incarnation based on this very same point. But, the merit is more important because the primary purpose of human incarnation is to clarify the doubts of the devotees. Arjuna questioned Krishna in several ways and got the points clarified freely because Krishna was in human form. If Krishna started explaining the Bhagavad Gita through energetic form (Vishwarupam), Arjuna could not have asked even one question due to extensive excitement. The God component in the human incarnation speaks that He is God. But, people see the human incarnation as human being only. Then there are two ways of the reaction of the human beings. Either they say that the human incarnation is only a human being and not God or they say that every human being is God. The first way is offensive and the second way is defensive. In the first way, people crucified Jesus. The offensive way is also mentioned in the Gita (Avajaananti maam…). Mohammad refused this concept of human incarnation since the people were continuing in the offensive nature only. The defensive way was taken by Shankara. In His time, people were also atheists with ego and jealousy. He subsided their reaction by taking the defensive way. You can understand the human incarnation only by recognizing the two components. Whenever Jesus told that He is truth and light, it is the God component that spoke those words. Whenever Jesus told ‘Let Thy will be done.’, ‘Why did You leave Me?’ etc., it is the soul the component that spoke these words. The two components were clearly demonstrated by Krishna. Bhagavad Gita was told by God component. After the war, when Arjuna asked to repeat the same, the soul component spoke Anu Gita, which was only an exposition of a scholar. The Bhagavad Gita was told by God component and Anu Gita was told by soul component. Whenever God speaks, the soul in the human incarnation is forced to be dumb. Sometimes, even the soul in the human incarnation may claim that it is God and in such case, it will be insulted and punished. This happened in the case of Parashurama, who thought that he killed all the kings. He was insulted and punished by Rama. When this is the case of the soul present in the human incarnation, what about the case of souls present in the human beings? Such souls will be punished in the hell for reformation. Sometimes the soul in the human incarnation may keep silent when he is praised as God by the devotees. The silence is forced on the soul by the God. If the soul reveals the truth, the devotees may be deeply hurt and pained. They prayed God to see Him and to speak with Him. Therefore, the secrecy of technique of the human incarnation should be maintained by the soul. However, such silence should not mislead the soul to think that it is really God or is transformed in to God really. In the alloy, the atoms of Gold remain as Gold and the atoms of copper remain as copper. Neither Gold became copper nor vice-versa. You should limit the example within some boundaries and you should not analyze the example deeply. Infact, the Gold and copper are inter-convertible by artificial transmutation and this point should not be brought here to spoil the concept. If you take like that with extensive analysis, there can be no simile to God. All the items in the creation are imaginable and cannot be compared to unimaginable God. Therefore, you should not cross the limits of the simile in understanding the concept about God. The science is blessed to the human beings by God to understand the spiritual knowledge in deeper real sense. But, the human beings diverted the science to create more facilities. Infact, God has created all the facilities based on balance of nature leading to perfect health. All the inventions of science for the extra facilities proved to be harmful by the environmental science, which clearly proves that these inventions are not the intentions of God to bless the human beings with advanced scientific knowledge. It is your defect only You should not blame God that He is unable to make us understand the unimaginable God. So far we are thinking that we are able to understand God after doing lot of penance. This wrong knowledge is removed by God and today, you understood that you can never understand God. This point is also supported by the absence of spatial dimensions of God. By this, scientists need not think that the unimaginable God beyond space does not exist at all. The genuine miracles, which are unimaginable events, exhibited by unimaginable source called as God, establish the existence of unimaginable entity and it is supported by the point that such unimaginable God is beyond space being the creator of space.

God’s awareness Vs awareness of human beings-for Philosophers In Veda it is said that God wanted to create the universe (Veda: Sa Ekshata..) and based on this reason God is thought to be awareness. Awareness can alone desire to do anything and not the inert entity. Another strong reason is that as the human awareness creates dream-space and subsequent dream in it, the God-awareness created this real space and the universe in it. As the dream and its space are generated by the human awareness, maintained and controlled and finally dissolve in human awareness, the universe along with the real space is generated, controlled and is dissolved by God-awareness. Another step was that the human awareness itself is God-awareness. As the dream-space and dream are real during the period of dream, the universe and real space are real during the maintenance of the creation. This argument removes the difference between the dream and the real world. But there are some strong objections to this concept. The human awareness is a specified work form of inert energy functioning in the specified system called nervous system. If the human awareness and God-awareness are one and the same, the God-awareness also requires the existence of inert energy and nervous system made of matter before its generation. This means, even before the creation of real space, inert energy and matter should exist and such existence becomes false since the real space is absent to accommodate them. When the dream-space dissolves into human awareness, the human awareness exists in real space. The human awareness is nothing but a form of energy, which requires space for propagation. If God-awareness is also the same human awareness, then this real world along with the real space dissolves in God-awareness and then the God-awareness also requires real space for its existence and propagation. Thus, the existence of real space is required after the dissolution of the real space and this becomes a self contradiction. To avoid all these opposing arguments, you must say that God-awareness is unimaginable awareness. The unimaginable awareness does not require the existence of matter and inert energy for its generation due to the unimaginable nature. For the same reason, the unimaginable God-awareness does not require space for its existence and propagation. By this, you can avoid all the inconvenient questions. But the unimaginable God-awareness cannot be the imaginable human awareness. Moreover if you analyze the unimaginable awareness, it must be resolved into two components: 1) Unimaginable entity and 2) Awareness. The second component which is the awareness must be the same imaginable human awareness. In such case the awareness cannot be unimaginable. The word ‘unimaginable’ is only an adjective of the subject ‘awareness’. In such case the awareness should be either the usual imaginable human awareness or the unimaginable God-awareness. If you analyze the word ‘awareness’, the awareness is only a specified form of work of some subject entity. You are aware of something. Here you are the subject and awareness is your work. By this analysis, we can easily conclude that the awareness cannot be a subjective entity. The word ‘unimaginable’ should be the subjective entity and awareness should be its property or work. The awareness is only an activity of the unimaginable entity. Since the entity is unimaginable, its properties or activities or works must be also unimaginable. In such case the awareness of God becomes unimaginable as the property of unimaginable God. By this, we can easily say that the unimaginable God is aware or wishes through unimaginable way without being the imaginable awareness. Therefore the unimaginable God need not be awareness to know or wish. If you say that an imaginable entity knows or wishes, it must be awareness due to the logical application of worldly observation. Since you have established that God is unimaginable, God can know or wish without being awareness. If God burns anything, He need not be fire. If an imaginable entity burns anything, it must be fire based on the worldly logic. But, since God is unimaginable entity, He can burn anything without being the fire. Even the fire is burning anything due to the will of the unimaginable God only. When the unimaginable God is expressed through energetic form called Yaksha, the fire could not burn anything due to the will of the unimaginable God. Therefore, the burning power belongs to the unimaginable God and not to the fire. Such power is granted to the fire by the unimaginable God only. If the unimaginable God withdraws that power from the fire, the fire could not burn anything. This story comes in Veda. Therefore the conclusion is that the unimaginable God need not be awareness to know or wish. In fact, the awareness itself has the power of wish or knowledge sanctioned by the unimaginable God only. If the unimaginable God wishes, even the human awareness becomes inert and cannot wish or know anything. Hence based on the wish or knowledge, God should not be concluded as awareness. This is the first mistake. The second mistake is that God assumed as awareness is thought to be the human awareness. These two mistakes have led to think that the human awareness is God.

Self Attaiment Vs Attainment of God Some devotees told about their visit to a sacred place called Tripurantakam. Swami gave the following message. The word Tripurantakam means God, who destroyed the three bodies. The gross body or sthula sareeram is made of the inert five elements. The second body is the subtle body or sukshma sareeram made of the vibrations of pure awareness. These vibrations are thoughts or feelings, which can be classified into three main categories called as trigunas or the three qualities i.e. sattvam, rajas and tamas. The third body is the causal body or karana sareeram, which is made of pure awareness without vibrations. The subtle body is called as jeeva and the causal body is called as atman. The subtle body cannot exist without the causal body just like the golden pot cannot exist without gold. The gold can exist as a lump without the pot. Similarly the atman can exist without jeeva. In fact, the advaita philosophy gives stress on the achievement of atman by eradicating jeeva. In this state the pure awareness is left over without vibrations like a water pond remaining without waves. This is the state of sthita prajna as explained in Gita. This achievement is called as the attainment of soul or atma yoga, by which you can be relieved from the worldly worries. This atma yoga is not the attainment of God. The attainment of God is Paramatma yoga or Bramha yoga. The soul is an imaginable item of creation, which is a specific work form of inert energy functioning in a specific machine called nervous system. God is unimaginable being beyond the space. Therefore, the soul or atman is also an item of creation only. If the soul is really eternal without birth and death, Lord Krishna could not have created certain individuals and cows which were taken away by Bramha for one year. An eternal object cannot be created again. When a cow or an individual is created, the soul in it is also created. Of course, the soul is said to be eternal with respect to the gross body. Such eternality is only relative and not absolute. In Gita the eternality of soul is mentioned with respect to the gross body only and it is not mentioned as absolute (na hanyate hanyamane shareere…). It means that even though the gross body is destroyed, the soul is not destroyed. The constancy of soul is thus with reference to the gross body only. Therefore, all the three bodies are created, controlled and destroyed by God. Veda says that God is controller of the souls (Atmeshwaram…). That which has birth and is controlled must be also destroyed. In fact Gita says that the soul is destroyed and is created everyday (Atha chainam…). The soul taken as the basic inert energy remains as eternal, but even this eternality is relative only since the inert energy is also created by God as the first item of creation in the form of space. The science says that space bends along the boundaries of the article and if space is nothing, it cannot bend. If something is bending, it must be something existing only and not the non-existent nothing. The soul taken as specific work form of energy disappears everyday in the deep sleep and appears again after the deep sleep. Thus the soul viewed as work form of energy is born and destroyed everyday. The soul viewed as the basic inert energy was born in the beginning of the creation and can disappear at anytime by the will of God. Thus, the soul viewed in any form is not absolutely eternal. The soul is one of the three bodies and the word Tripurantakam means that the soul is not God and the soul has birth and death. This is the concept in the word Tripurantakam. If the concept is known, the pilgrimage is not necessary.

Gita says that God is unimaginable & comes in human form Veda says that God is the first preacher and He is called as Kashyapa because He is the pashyaka. Since, the meaning of pashyaka is that He who sees the subtle meaning of the scripture (Kashyapah pashyako bhavati). This first preacher preached the spiritual knowledge regarding the information about absolute God called as Brahmajnana to Sun in the beginning as said in Gita (Imam vivasvate). The Sun preached this to his first son, Shanaishchara, who is called as Jnanakaraka or the initiator of knowledge. This knowledge was passed on to his brother called Yama. From Yama the knowledge was achieved by Nachaketa, who brought it to the earth and was propagated to the human beings. These five preachers are called as the five fires (Panchaagni). The preacher or Guru is compared to the fire since the knowledge itself is the fire that burns the ignorance to ash as said in Gita (Jnanagnih…). The first preacher is Krishna and He is also called as Datta. Datta means, the unimaginable God given to the world in the imaginable medium, which is the human form as said in Gita. Gita says that God is unimaginable (Mamtuvedana…) and that God comes in human form (Manusheemtanu…). Krishna is the human form charged by the unimaginable God. All the human incarnations are the human forms charged by unimaginable God. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

God in human form is a trouble shooter Datta cut your worldly bonds Datta (God) is said to be famous for creating troubles to others. People fear to worship Datta due to this point only. It is said that Datta cuts the worldly bonds and hence Datta is the trouble shooter. Everybody wants happiness by nourishing their worldly bonds. Everybody thinks that happiness comes through growth of money, children etc., which are the worldly bonds. Datta tries to cut these worldly bonds through the spiritual knowledge. In fact, these worldly bonds are not directly cut. When the bond with God is formed, all these worldly bonds perish spontaneously. The attachment to God called as devotion (Bhakti) leads to subsequent detachment from the world called as vairagya. It is general observation that whenever you are really attached to something, you are naturally detached from all other things. When you are attached to the cinema, you forget all other things. Thus, the detachment from the world is a subsequent consequence of devotion only. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

Mere fasting Vs love on God Without devotion to God, the detachment from world is false and meaningless. The detachment from the world should be always with reference to the attachment to God. The Vairagya is always relative with reference to the devotion and is not an absolute concept. The absolute concept is only devotion. You should not give importance to people seeing their detachment but should give value for their attachment to God. Foolish people give value to the detachment even though the attachment to God is absent. You are giving value to a person who is fasting and you are considering him as devotee. He may be fasting due to stomach ache. If he is fasting due to devotion on God, such fasting is valid. If the devotee forgets food in the memory of God, such fasting is real. But, people are fasting by taking alternative tiffins which are more qualitative and energetic having more taste than ordinary food! Therefore, Datta is not cutting your worldly bonds. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

Datta cuts the worldly bonds and gives the problems Datta (God in human form) is not cutting your worldly bonds. Due to your attachment to Datta, the worldly bonds are dropped as subsequent consequences. There is no effort in the destruction of worldly bonds. When you are tasting some better drink, the coffee is naturally dropped. Such natural drop is the real detachment. The detachment should be natural without any effort. If the detachment is with effort, you are pained. Now, when you are detached from the world spontaneously without effort you are not pained, but others are pained seeing you. In the minds of others, you are thought to be the looser. Therefore, Datta is thought to be the trouble giver in the minds of others and not in your mind. When you drop the coffee by drinking the divine nectar, others think that the divine nectar is cutting your bond with the coffee and thus the divine nectar is the trouble shooter. But, the divine nectar is not the trouble shooter in your view. Thus, Datta is the trouble shooter in the view of the public but not in the view of the devotee. Thus, the saying that ‘Dattam chinnam’, which means that Datta cuts the worldly bonds and gives the problems is valid in the view of the ignorant public only and not in the view of the devoted spiritual aspirant. The very word Krishna means the process of rubbing or grinding or cutting the worldly bonds. The bonds of Gopikas were cut by Krishna and Gopikas were losers in the view of the villagers of Brundavanam. Gopikas lost the butter and were losers in the view of the public. But, in the view of Gopikas, who were the ancient sages, they were the top most gainers. Therefore, the concept depends on the angle of the view. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace

Real Spiritual advantage is always associated with troubles and pain only The Sun is also thought to be the shooter of problem since the heat pains. But, the sunlight is giving topmost advantage, which gives the life to the living beings. It removes the darkness and is responsible for the preparation of food in the plants by photosynthesis. Similarly, the advantage in the problems given by Datta is enormous and eternal. The Saturn (Shanaichara) also gives problems to the people in this world. Yama also pains the people through punishments in the hell. This always proves that the real advantage is always associated with troubles and pain only. You are always alert and active in the problems and not in happiness. The spiritual knowledge about absolute God requires highest activity of the brain to understand and analyze the absolute truth. www.universal-spirituality.org Universal Spirituality for World Peace
