God Experience God should be understood as the unimaginable creator. Next, God can be understood as the unimaginable spectator of the world. Lastly, God should be understood as the unimaginable actor who has entered the Universal Drama in the form of the human incarnation. In the first state, God is called as Brahman. The same God is called as Parabrahman before that first stage. In the second stage God is called as Ishwara. In the third stage God is called as Avatara Purusha or Sadguru. One can go up to the first stage only and no intelligence can go beyond that first stage. This means Parabrahman can never be understood. The climax way to understand the Parabrahman is to grasp Him as Brahman. If you analyse carefully, Brahman is also an incarnation. The Parabrahman is embedded in the pure awareness. The pure awareness is the medium, which can be understood by sharp intelligence. Therefore, one can understand God only through a medium. The finest and the subtlest medium is pure awareness. Scholars like Shankara like God in such a rich medium. Some people like a person in a costly silk dress. Others can understand God in the form of Ishwara. Ramanuja and Madhva have stopped at the level of Ishwara, who is God in a terricot shirt which is a mixture of silk and cotton. Brahman is the unqualified pure awareness, which is called as Nirguna. Ishwara is the qualified pure awareness, which is called as Saguna. Therefore, Shankara preached about God to scholars. Ramanuja and Madhva preached God to ordinary people. There are some people who are ignorant and cannot grasp even the form of Ishwara. For this third category, God-in-Flesh is the easiest way, who is God in a cotton shirt. The Brahman is the electrified raw gold. Ishwara is the electrified golden chain [gold with a form; qualified]. The human incarnation is the electrified iron chain. Gold is costly and iron is cheap. The awareness is subtle and can be grasped only by scholars. The human body is very easy and can be grasped directly by the eyes. But in all these media, the electricity is one and the same. When you touch any of these three media the electric shock is one and the same. Thus, the experience of God can be obtained from Brahman in transcendental meditation (Samadhi). The same experience of God can be obtained when Ishwara appears in energetic form when pleased by severe penance (Sakshatkara). The same experience of God is also obtained by seeing a human incarnation like Lord Krishna (Darshanam). The experience of God is one and the same. The medium and the approach differ. The first two methods are very difficult. The last method is very easy. The goal and the benefit are one and the same. Among these three, who is wise? The last person is the wisest who obtained the same goal through the easiest path. The experience of God is obtained only through a medium. The medium alone indicates God. When you want to drink hot tea, you are shown a cup. You are told, “Have that cup”. Here the word cup means the tea and not the cup without the tea. When you touch the cup you are experiencing the heat of the tea through the cup. If the tea is absent, the cup is cool. Thus, you can differentiate between a cup with tea and an empty cup. Thus by experience you can differentiate Lord Krishna from any other ordinary human being. The very presence of the human incarnation electrifies you with divine experience even without the preaching from the human incarnation. But sometimes mere experience may mislead you. Experience belongs to the faculty of the mind. Sometimes there may be false experience due to a defective mind. You may feel the divinity through a miracle. Both God and Satan do miracles. Most people decide the divinity through the experience obtained from miracles. Therefore, the faculty of intelligence should be opened to decide your experience. You must hear His knowledge. You must analyse His discourse. Knowledge is the inseparable ornament of God although knowledge is only a characteristic of a medium (awareness). God has given us the facility to identify Him through that inseparable characteristic. Love, bliss and miracles should associate with such knowledge. Without knowledge, the decision should not be taken based on the other three characteristics. The other three are always associated with the knowledge but they also exist independently even without the knowledge.

Conversation between SWAMI and a Christian Father Recently, I had the fortune to accompany Swami in a train journey from Narasaraopet to Vijayawada. A Christian father was our co-passenger. The conversation between Swami and the Christian father took place as given below. Father: Those who do not have faith in Jesus Christ are destined to be consigned to the flames of liquid fire in Hell. This is the declaration of our faith. SWAMI: Does that mean that there is no salvation to all the devotees on this earth prior to the incarnation of Jesus Christ? If so, all those devotees were subjects of prejudice of God, as they were deprived of that revelation, their successors had? Father: God is impartial in that subject. He gave Jehovah to mankind for their salvation before the incarnation of Jesus. SWAMI: Fine! If that be so, devotees of this land have no knowledge of either Jehovah or Jesus Christ prior to the arrival of Vasco da Gama. Vasco da Gama discovered India and only later on, the Christian literature that speaks of Jehovah or Jesus came to India. All those innocents, who lived before the arrival of Vasco da Gama deprived of the revelations of either Jehovah or Jesus Christ, were consigned to the flames of the ‘liquid fire’ for no fault of theirs. They were not to regenerate by taking human births again and reclaim the salvation since the doctrine of the faith you follow has no place for the rebirth of the soul. Does this mean that God intended to provide the revelation only to a handful in a small country and deny the opportunity to all those living in rest of the world? Why did God reveal Himself at a particular point of time, in a particular land, to a particular section alone? Does that not inflict the God with prejudice? FATHER: No faith is free from such blame. Does not the faith you belong to, charge the non-believers of your faith to the same danger of hell? All mortals in other land, not aware of the virtues of the faith you follow, are subjects of the same punishment in hell! Does this also not inflict God with Prejudice? SWAMI: There are enthusiasts who are fans in every faith. Christian enthusiasts maintain that non-believers in Jehovah or Jesus Christ shall be subjects for the flames of the liquid fire. Hindu enthusiasts maintain that non-believers of Lord Vishnu or Lord Shiva shall be subjects for affliction in hell. They further introduce and adopt sectarian salvation which limits itself to certain sections only. Followers of different sects castigate each other by such warnings. All these partisans fail to appreciate the unity in thought of all the world religions. All these ‘approaches’ to God, afflict Him with Prejudice. The only way to keep God unblemished is to perceive His generosity correctly. The same single God revealed Himself distinctly in different places, in different times, to different people in different forms. He granted the same enlightenment to all in different tongues. All those faithful attain salvation upon receiving the enlightenment. Those who fail to receive are subjected to the liquid fire in hell. This approach towards God makes him unblemished. The God of all religions is one and the same. He may appear to be different due to differences in His approach to different people, in different times, in different forms and in different tongues. He nurtures all with same compassion. The sea receives all the rivers in the same way, whether they are straight or curved. The devotion is important and not the religion or path. If the straight river becomes proud and mocks at the curved river, God will see that the straight river will never reach Him. By His will, people will build a dam on that river to divert all the water! Every one needs to follow the path assigned in his faith to attain salvation. Every religion has different levels of spiritual enlightenment. One should move up to the higher level for comprehension of the total enlightenment. Such enlightenment alone is the means of salvation. These levels of enlightenment in each religion are similar to the levels of education. Different religions are similar to different language mediums. The content of the curriculum is same in all the language mediums. A pupil of a certain language should strive to reach higher levels of knowledge in the same medium of his choice. He is a pilgrim in pursuit of divinity. His medium is his opportunity. It is neither superior nor inferior to any other medium. He need not move on to another language medium to uplift himself. All the language mediums are different religions at different levels of knowledge. A school student studying science in a particular medium (language) need not change his medium, because even if he changes, the syllabus will not be changed. He should strive to change his syllabus by raising his standard of knowledge and reach to college level in the same medium. The school and college levels exist in every medium. A school student does not become a college student just by changing the medium of his class. He becomes a college student only, when the level of his knowledge rises up. Similarly, a devotee of any religion should try to reach the higher spiritual level in his own religion. His spiritual level is not raised by changing his religion. Every religion has the lower and higher levels of spiritualism meant for devotees of corresponding stages. Religion is the medium and spiritualism is the curriculum or syllabus with different levels (school level, college level etc.,) present in the same religion. One shall strive to reach the higher levels of knowledge that are carved out in his own faith. No one needs to move on to another faith for higher level of knowledge for the will of final salvation. All faiths lead to the same destination. In any path, you will have to proceed vertically to reach the goal. At any point of your path, if you travel horizontally, you will reach the same point of level in another path, which is a waste. The realization of this truth alone ensures harmony among different faiths of the world. Failure to perceive the truth will not make anyone enlightened. When Swami concluded like this, the Christian Father stood and touched his heart in the model of a cross and said, "we believe that Jesus will be born again. Yes. Jesus is again born now. Nobody else can explain like this. I am fully convinced''. When we came to our house, Swami told me, "see, the Christian father did not rigidly limit his mind with conservatism. Every religion contains good and broad- minded devotees. My effort of propagation of knowledge is for such devotees who are present in every religion in this world''.

Atheism The atheists believe in logical conclusions based on practical experience and in things present before the unclothed eye (perception). The real spiritual knowledge can satisfy all these requirements. The human incarnation of God is right before the eyes; in flesh-and-blood. All the bonds with family and wealth are before the eyes and liberation from such bonds, which is called salvation, is also before the eyes. One can experience God through the human incarnation in this world itself and in this very life itself. Infinite love and bliss derived from the special divine knowledge preached by the human incarnation are enjoyed here itself. Enjoyment of love and bliss is the goal of any worldly bond. This is called Jeevanmukti, which means ‘salvation while living’; right here. What ever one achieves while living, that alone continues with the soul after death. Thus perception is the basis for even the invisible future.

MESSAGE OF SWAMI ON Good Friday My father and I are one and the same. Father means the Creator who is beyond words, mind, intelligence and even imagination. This Father is called as God and has different names. Christians call Him as Jehovah. Muslims call Him as 'Allah'. Hindus call Him as 'Para Brahma'. Buddha kept silent about the God because the God is beyond words. But followers of Buddha misunderstood the silence as negation and interpreted that Buddha denied God. This God incarnates on the earth. He creates a human body and pervades all over that human body as current pervades all over the metallic wire. Since God created His human body for incarnation, the God is called as Father and the human incarnation is called as His Son. The electric wire is Current because wherever you touch the wire it gives the shock, which is the property of current. For all the practical purposes the electric wire is the current. Similarly the human incarnation is the Creator or God. Therefore the Son is the Father. The human incarnation can be seen by us and we can talk with Him. We can touch and can live along with the Son. Thus Vision, conversation, touch, and co-living are the four fortunes given to the devotees. By any human effort God cannot be even imagined. But by infinite kindness He is not only seen but also talks, touches and lives with us. If you cannot utilize such infinite kindness of God shown to us and if you neglect the human incarnation due to your egoism and jealousy you are loosing everything forever. Neither you attain the unattainable God nor you retain the human incarnation that approaches you. You are looser on both sides. Such human incarnations come to various parts of the earth and they are Jesus, Krishna, Mohammed, Buddha, Mahavir etc., Therefore Jesus is Jehovah. Mohammed is Allah and Krishna is Parabrahma. The Electric wire is the current. The Son and the Father are one and the same. One should not extrapolate this truth by saying since every man is His Son and so every man is the Father. If every Son is the Father there is no necessity of preaching. God has to come in human body only to preach the human beings. But there is natural repulsion between the human beings as in the case of like charged particles due to jealousy and egoism. The crusification of the Lord Jesus is the best example of such jealousy and egoism. Holy Jesus suffered for the sins of the real believers of God only. One of the basic ideas of the human incarnation is to suffer for the sins of deserving devotees. For such purpose only the human body is selected for incarnation. The human body of the incarnation suffers like any other human body. Then only the real transfer of sins is fully justified. The incarnation can avoid the pain during suffering by using the super power of God. But God never deceives the justice. Therefore Jesus really suffered all the punishments of deserving devotees as any other human body suffers and fulfilled the justice in the transfer of sins. This is the real reason why the God selects a human body and gets identified with it. If it is inert statue such suffering cannot take place. Though the Son is suffering on the Holy Cross, but actually the Father who pervaded all over the Son suffered. This is the essence of saying that Father and Son are one and the same. The Father does not suffer for the sins of the wicked people who will not change at all. Those who are the real devotees and those who served the Lord without aspiring anything in return are only liberated from their sins. Such devotees never pray the Lord for the liberation from their sins because they never desire that the Lord should suffer for their sins. Therefore, they never agree for the liberation from their sins. If they come to know they will object such transfer of sins because they are the real devotees of the God. Hence the Lord suffers for their sins without any information to them. If you are not turning towards the Lord, you have to carry all your sins with you and go to hell. If you turn towards the Lord, He will liberate you from all your sins provided you change and continue your future life in His divine service. His work is to bring peace in this world and see that every human being gets the salvation. He wants the hell to be permanently closed. But you should turn towards God without aspiring for your liberation from the sins. You must participate in His service and yet you should be ready to undergo the punishments of your sins as per the rule. You should not ask Him or even desire for such liberation from your sins. Once you desire for such liberation you are indirectly asking the Lord to suffer for your sins. In such a case you are not His real devotee. He takes your sins and liberates you when you serve Him without any aspiration for such liberation.

Cheating God A prostitute sacrifices sweet words and feelings of the mind for getting money. But she does it for meeting her minimum requirements, so it is justified. But today people who already have enough money to satisfy their minimum needs are trying to please the Lord through sweet words and sweet feelings of mind (devotion) to get extra from the Lord. These devotees are called as divine prostitutes and can never be excused by the Lord. One can please a person, who is either ignorant or has less knowledge, by such false behavior. But no one can please the Lord who has the full knowledge (Sarvajna) in this way. If any one tries to please the Lord by the sacrifice of words and mind only, such a person is blind. These people are made blind by fraud preachers who exploit their ignorance and natural ambition. The people who follow such fraud preachers, loose time here (in this world) and the fraud preachers will be punished later. These fraud teachers encourage these innocent people and even make them do Karma Phala Tyaga. These innocent people are advised to spend a hundred rupees in order to get one lakh (hundred thousand) rupees from God. Unfortunately a part of the hundred rupees that they spend in the name of God, is wasted in purchasing some unnecessary materials and the fraud preachers steal the another part. [The false preachers advise the ignorant devotees to worship idols and statues with rituals involving purchasing costly but useless materials]. Such a sacrifice of the fruit of the work cannot be a real Karma Phala Tyaga. It is just like a patient going to a fraud doctor and loosing money and time without any reduction in his illness. Sometimes the illness may even increase. When you worship God in this way, the Lord only gives you the fruits of your own good actions, which you were supposed to receive in future life cycle arrangements. The fruit of good work from your future birth is drawn to this birth like a pre-matured deposit. You think that you have attained a large fruit of the good work, which you have not done, just by spending a hundred rupees. In fact you are getting rid of the present trouble only because the Lord is pushing this trouble to the future birth with added interest. By this, your future life cycles become miserable and full of troubles from birth to death. Do you not see such people in the world? They blame the Lord for giving them such a miserable life but they do not know that they had pressed the Lord for this in their previous births. Just see this wonderful world and imagine the intelligence of the Lord. Nobody including your fraud teacher can fool God. Therefore the present tradition of blind preachers and blind followers is finally leading only to the ever-lasting fire. Therefore it is better to know the true path which is established by the Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita. It is better to take at least one step on the true path because the distance from the goal is reduced by at least one step. What is the use of taking a hundred steps on the false path by which you move away from the goal by a hundred steps? The true path is only the one shown by Hanuman and the Gopikas i.e., Karma Yoga (Karma Sanyasa and Karma Phala Tyaga put together) which is emphasized everywhere in the Gita. The value of the words and mind is only two paise (100 paise = 1 rupee). The value of practical action is hundred paise. If you do the sacrifice of any of these three (words, mind and action) without aspiring for anything in return, you will get the fruit from God according to the corresponding values. If you praise the Lord without aspiring for anything, the Lord will praise you by His sweet voice. If you meditate upon the Lord without aspiring for anything the Lord will love you with His sweet heart. If you serve the Lord practically without aspiring for anything in return, the Lord also gives the fruit in the same practical way. Hanuman simply participated in the work of the Lord. He was given the highest post, which is a practically real fruit. The Gita says that He will approach you in the same way as you approach Him (Ye Yatha Maam). The Gopikas sacrificed the fruit of their work and they were given the highest Goloka (highest heaven). In these examples, sacrifice is without aspiring for anything in return from the Lord. Such sacrifice is called ‘Nishkama Karma Yoga’. If you do the same sacrifice, aspiring for some fruit in return, you will get proportionate results here also. But the results will be the fruits of your own works, which you were supposed to enjoy in the future life cycles.

Cycle of Deeds The human being is entangled in the cycle of deeds called as karma charka. The thought in the mind is the seed, which grows and generates action. The action certainly gives its result. Even if you escape the result of your action in this world you cannot escape from it in the upper world. In fact the result in the upper world is very severe due to the compounded interest due to the delay in getting the result. Therefore blessed are those who are punished in this world itself. Jesus says “It is better to punish yourself for your sin in this world itself than to fall into eternal hell”. The punishment reduces the thought (which caused the deed) to the state of a tiny seedling. However the punishment cannot destroy the thought completely. The thought exists in a very minute called the state of subconsciousness. Even you are not aware of your subconscious thought. When the soul comes from hell to the earth and enters a new human body, the child contains all the qualities or thoughts of previous births, hidden in the subconscious state. Therefore the child is unaware of anything and appears to be the most innocent and sacred. In the child the thoughts are like seeds that have not germinated. Whatever may be the external atmosphere in which the child grows, those strong thoughts will certainly germinate and grow up to be tender plants if not strong trees. But if the external atmosphere is favorable, the strong thoughts become trees, and weak thoughts will become plants. These germinated thoughts will result in corresponding actions. The actions will give their own fruits whether here or there. The fruits are the punishments, which will again reduce the thoughts to seeds. This is the cycle of the deeds. When it is said that you are enjoying the fruit of the action of your previous birth, it has to be understood in the context of this cycle. The action of your previous birth was punished in hell and has reduced your thought to the form of a seed. In this birth the seed grows and results in its corresponding action. Such action can give you its result in this world if you are captured here itself. The judicial system in this world also functions under the direction of the Lord only. If you have escaped the judicial system in this world, it too is by the will of Lord alone. The Lord might have judged your case and might have given you a chance of transformation. Sometimes you are punished wrongly in a case. Do not abuse the court or God. Perhaps you are punished for some other sin. Do not think that you have escaped a punishment that you deserve just because the courts find you ‘not guilty’. Perhaps God is directing you for a severe punishment in hell, which cannot be provided by the court here. Therefore do not think that you have fooled the court or that the deity of justice is blind with a cloth tied on her eyes. Even this court is functioning according to the will of the Lord because the Lord governs everybody and everything in this world. Therefore do not blame God or do not say that God does not exist if some criminal escapes punishment of human courts. Destroying the Seed Now the main point is how to escape from this cycle? You cannot escape from this cycle by preventing the deed or punishment. If you are tied with a rope, you will not do the deed as long as you are tied. You will do the deed as soon as you are released from the rope. You may escape the result of your deed here by someone’s recommendations, but you cannot escape from it in hell. The only way to stop this cycle is to destroy the thought which is the initiating seed of this cycle. How to destroy it? The seed is a thought which is a living property (sentient property) or a property of life. If it were an inert property like light or heat, it could be prevented by physical methods. Only knowledge, which is another living property, can destroy this thought. Only a diamond can cut another diamond. The wrong knowledge, which generates this sin, is dangerous. Ignorance, which is zero, is better than wrong knowledge, which is minus (negative). Therefore only righteous knowledge can destroy wrong thoughts. You can differentiate the right knowledge from the wrong knowledge through careful, patient analysis and discrimination. The knowledge of God alone can create devotion in your mind and develop it. Thus by knowledge alone can you get rid of this cycle and attain and please God. Shankara says “Jnanat eva tu kaivalyam”, which means that knowledge alone can give salvation. Jesus preached the same spiritual knowledge throughout His life. The atheist is always rigid and does not accept God even if a miracle is performed by God physically. He will attribute it to hypnotism and magic. When Lord Krishna showed the vision of His cosmic form in the court, Duryodhana fell unconscious, but he attributed it to an illusion and hypnotism. Therefore a rigid foolish atheist can never be transformed and he shall be condemned forever like a student debarred by the university. One must have an open mind to recognize the truth and must have the courage to come out of one’s conservative rigid circle. The atheist blames the devotees regarding their foolish conservative limits, but he himself is trapped by such limits! For a wise person even a subtle experience in small incidents taking place in his life is sufficient proof to realize the existence of God. God is giving proof of His existence even in very small incidents that take place in every walk of your life. If you sit and analyze your past life with careful, shrewd analysis, you can see the existence of God at every step and how He is trying to help you always. Some say that God loves only His devotees and thus He is partial. This is meaningless. If all people in the world loved Him equally and if He still loved only a select few, then alone can it be called partiality.

Please careful before God Whenever, you pray the Lord, be careful about the meaning of the prayer. You must utter that only, which you can really practice. In the prayer you say that the Lord is every thing for you. You cannot practice this. You cannot prove this as long as the Lord remains formless or in the energetic form or as the statue. But when the Lord comes in the human form and asks you to sacrifice a little for His sake, you will go back. For this inconvenience only you deny the human form. You like the statue or formless aspect of or energetic form of God because they cannot ask you for any proof of your prayer. You want that God should believe your prayer and should blindly sanction whatever you ask. You think that God is innocent and should believe whatever you say without any practical proof or test. This is the main reason for the denial of human form of God. When you offer the food to the Lord, the formless God or the energetic form or the statue will not take even a single particle of your offered food. But if you offer the same food to the human form, you will not get back a single particle to eat. This is the reason for denying the human form of the Lord. First you must be sure of the extent of value you give to God. Then, you must be sure of the extent of your faith when you meet the human incarnation and in recognizing Him as the Lord. If you have full value for the Lord and if you recognize the human incarnation, the full value to God must be proved practically in the case of that human incarnation. If you have full value for God but do not recognize the human incarnation, then there is no opportunity for you to prove your full faith to God. In such case your full value to God is false and you are Hippocratic. Jesus gave full value to God and sacrificed His life for the sake of God. In the end He told the Lord that His will should be done. When He accepted the will of God to be done, He did not feel adversely in the crucification. Since the crucification was the will of the Lord He followed it sincerely because He told that His will must be done. Therefore, whatever is told must be practiced. During crucification He never asked the Lord to protect Him and stop the crucification. If He had asked for it, it would have been stopped immediately by the miraculous power of the God. Therefore, unless you have the determination of practice you should not utter any thing before the Lord. Once you utter you must follow it at least in the case of the Lord. Most of our prayers are lies only and even one percent cannot be practiced. By doing such false prayers one invokes the anger of the Lord only and not the grace of the Lord. Whatever value you have for the God should be proved in practice and such value only should be mentioned in your words while praying the Lord. Whatever, little love you have for God, mention that much only in words. The God will not be displeased for your little love. In fact He is more pleased because you are telling truth before Him. There are some people who call every greater human being as the Lord. The purpose of such usage is only to have some benefit from that greater human being. Thus, the word Lord has become means to achieve the selfish ends in the hands of clever materialistic people. The false human incarnations may be trapped by such clever people. But the real human incarnation will get reversed.

The Father & Jesus Jesus is said to be born to only mother without Father. He always praised Father and did not regard His mother so much. When a lady cried that His mother is great, He said that the follower of the instruction of His Father is really great. What is the inner meaning of all this? Does this mean that He disregarded His mother and praised the non-existing Father? No. In His language the Father is God. The mother is the primordial energy. He has gone to the final stage of divine knowledge and realized that God is the root of the root cause. An atheist does not accept Father and believes in the sole existence of mother (nature). A theist believes in both. A realized devotee believes only God, since the nature is also created by God. Without realizing this inner concept, the Christianity is divided into two schools of son and mother taking everything in physical sense. The son of virgin means the concept of science, which says that a child is produced from Nature which is in the form of parents. In science, both mother and father are equally important representing the sperm and ovum. This is the material sense, which is not here. In spiritual sense, both are nature or mother only. There are so many couples without children. The will of God is the father without which no child is produced. But God is hidden always and is inferred by knowledge. This point is represented in the example of father and mother even in physical sense. Therefore, Jesus caught the root of root cause, who is the God or divine Father and not this primordial energy or mother up to which only science can go based on perceptional analysis. This does not mean that Jesus really disregarded His mother and this explanation also does not mean that one should disregard the mother. In the physical sense both are equal because both are mother only in spiritual sense. God is the father in the spiritual sense, who is the hidden cause in both the concept and simile.

The human incarnation comes in every generation The human incarnation comes in every generation but you are not coming in every generation. The rebirth as human being is almost impossible and completely impossible as per Christianity. In such case you are having only one chance to contact the human incarnation present in your generation. If you miss this, never again this luck comes. The next meeting with God is direct where He acts as judge. Therefore, there is no second coming of Jesus for you and you will meet God finally only. In this way the second coming of Jesus at the end can be understood. But if you say that you cannot meet the human incarnation in your present generation, you are not having the opportunity even for once. In such case, why a particular generation in which God came in human form as Jesus was only blessed? They had the extra fortune and this means God is partial to that generation. Therefore, every person in every generation will have the equal chance of coming in contact with the human incarnation once in his or her life and the final contact with God in the energetic form as judge. Therefore, the impartial God comes again and again for every generation (Yada Yada hi…..Gita) but you are not having the chance to meet the human incarnation again since you have no human rebirth. One may get the human rebirth in extreme exceptional situation and you should not depend on that because it involves high risk. The human birth, the urge for salvation and coming in contact with the human incarnation are the three real fortunes and the importance increases from left to right in the order. Therefore, simply having the human birth and having the urge by taking orange robe are not sufficient. Unless you contact the Lord in human form and get the right knowledge for correct implementation, every thing is waste (Manushyatvam Mumukshatvam, Mahapurasha Samsrayah, Durlabham—Sankara). There is no quarrel if you say that the second coming of Jesus is only at the end because every one is having the equal chance. But if you say that I have to worship the past human incarnation only even in the present generation, then the equal opportunity is not given to Me when I am compared to the human being present in that generation in which Jesus came directly and clarified all the doubts face to face. I must have such equal privilege and here the quarrel comes with you since you deny the equal opportunity. The second coming is final with respect to every human being but not with respect to God because in such case several human generations miss the chance of direct contact with God in human form except that one particular human generation. Even if you say that Jesus told that His second coming is only final, it is true with respect to every human being and not with respect to Him. You have misinterpreted this statement by extending it with reference to Jesus also because you want to exploit the people in the name of past Jesus and get personal fame and other facilities from the devotees. You are in no way different from the priests present in that time of Jesus. Both of you do not admit the human form of Lord. Both of you keep the past which is invisible (invisible Jebhova or invisible Jesus) before the devotees and earn money and fame. The only difference between you both is that that priest got Jesus killed through the court and you cannot do that in the present time. The repulsion towards the human form before eyes is common to both the priests and devotees. But in the case priests there is an extra factor that they may lose fame and offerings from the devotees because they get benefited standing at the back ground of the invisible form of God or inert form of God. In the case of devotees, this extra factor does not exist because they are prepared to sacrifice for God and they are not losing since they do not receive. Any Guru or Priest immediately resists human form of God based on these two factors since he fears that the human form may get the fame or their offerings. Thus, there is political, economical and social issue of psychology in this spiritual line. Attraction to fame and money associated with jealously and egoism is the main back ground and Lord Datta brings out the truth that is buried up to any depth. All the details of truth are known to the omniscient God. Veda says that the knowledge of God is always based on truth (Satyam Jnamam).

Preaching of Lord in human form and digestion of the truth Jesus preached wonderful knowledge. The ordinary fishermen were convinced and followed Him as the Lord. The priests of church were great saints who were unmarried and left every thing for the sake of God. Those priests were certainly higher then ordinary people. The ordinary people followed Jesus because they were convinced in their minds, intelligence and consciousness. They clarified their doubts with Jesus directly and were convinced. This is called as Atma Pramanam. These ordinary people did not look for the voting of the priests to Jesus. In fact, the priests opposed Jesus and crucified Him. In spite, of that the ordinary people followed Jesus since they were convinced. A priest has left every thing for the sake of God. No doubt they are greater people since they have greater urge. The greater urge itself cannot qualify any person. A student may have a greater urge for the answer but he might have not understood the answer given by the teacher. Another student might have not so much urge but has understood the answer. Between these two students who is greater? Janaka was a king and did not leave the kingdom. Suka was a saint and left every thing with extreme urge for God. Janaka was appointed as examiner of Suka by sage Vyasa. Who is greater between these two? Though Janaka was a house holder and did not leave anything, he is the student with answer. Suka is a saint who left every thing and got answer from Janaka only. Quest is appreciable but cannot be the qualification. Capacity to understand the answer lies with the internal mental development (Samskara). The external orange robe, the quest for God, leaving every thing and roaming every where, attaining a post of Pithadhipati, studying scriptures by tradition etc., are certainly appreciable but are not the qualifications of greatness. A student may be in the uniform dress. He may have lot of urge to get the knowledge. He might have left his house and roamed from school to school. He might have become a teacher of a school. He might have studied the course according to discipline. He might have memorized and got through the examination and He might have thus got the degree and became the teacher. But still his doubts in the subject were not answered. Einstein and Ramanujam did not get a pass and could not get the degree. But they have perfectly understood the subject. Therefore, attainment lies in their internal samskaras and attaining the real preacher. Both the samskaras and Guru (Preacher) are important for the attainment and not the other points. Both the pearl shell and the rain drop are essential for the formation of a pearl. Except these two, all the other factors are ephemeral only. You should judge anything by your self and in association with others through discussions and debates. In coming to the conclusion you can take the help of the discussions with others. But you should use your own intelligence and consciousness in final conclusion. In this way the participation of others is helpful. But to see whether some body lifted his hand or not for voting is a point is foolishness. You can discuss with him about the point. You should lift your hand based on your final conclusion. Even a cleaver person may go wrong in that particular point. Your vote should not depend on his vote.

Ignorance ,Maya & God Maya is not ignorance, though it is used in that sense, if you analyze its root meaning. It is the unimaginability, which means that the ignorance here can never be removed. God can never be understood and so the ignorance about God is Maya. Avidya means the ignorance that can be removed. Ignorance of physics can be removed by special effort. Avidya relates to the self. By effort the self-ignorance can be removed. But the ignorance of God is Maya, which can never be removed by any effort as God is unimaginable. The Gita says that He can never be understood (Man…). The Veda says that the soul can be understood by sharp analysis (Drusyate tu…). Liberation comes by self-realization, which gives peace but not bliss. (Samah karanam…the Gita) (Eshahyeva Anandayati… the Veda). Peace is zero and bliss is plus. Any one of these two can remove the misery, which is minus. But there is easy tendency for the zero to become minus. Therefore, the self-analysis achieved by your logical ladder can drop to misery (Savikalpa Samadhi). But if the same self-realization is granted by the Lord, it is eternal (Nirvikalpa). Shankara told that the grace of the Lord can alone bring the real self-realization (Esvaraanugrahaadeva…). Such grace of Lord comes by devotion, which is generated and strengthened by knowledge and which can be proved only in terms of practical service as seen in the case of your family. Shankara gives the top importance to devotion (Bhaktireva…). The Gita also says that God is achieved only by devotion (Bhaktyaatvananyayaa…). The Gita also says that the devotion is proved by selfless service to God, which is called as Nishkama karma yoga.

Datta Swami answers the Scandals against Shri Sathya Sai Baba Q. How can the reports of the scandalous actions of Shri Sathya Sai Baba be explained? [The question is again eloborated as below] We recently came across a website describing the various scandals pertaining to Shri Satya Sai Baba. Apparently there have been hundreds if not thousands of cases of alleged (homosexual, and mental) abuse of men and young children. There have also been cases of murder. Some of the abuse cases have firsthand witnesses or the abused persons have themself reported their own experiences. There are just too many cases to simply dismiss them as rumours. If these incidents had been rare or few in number, one could neglect them considering them to be special exceptions such as the affairs of Krishna with the Gopikas. Lord Rama who killed Vali from the back, which was a violation of Kshatriya Dharma but it can be argued that He did so only to protect Sugriva who had approached Him for help. So Lord Rama was only proving that He can even violate dharma for the sake of a devotee who approaches the Lord. Not only, that, He also suffered the consequences of this violation during Krishna Avatara. Lord Rama certainly did not have multiple "murder cases" pending on him. All the other people that He killed, were killed only while following Kshtriya dharma on the battlefield. Moreover, the people who He killed were evil people. Thus the violations of dharma done by Rama and Krishna were only in exceptional cases. However in case of Shri Baba these 'exceptions' seem to be very common. If the Sadguru who is an incarnation, abuses (mentally or sexually) or even murders a very close devotee who is on the path of nivrutti, then it is acceptable. It can be considered as an advanced test for an advance devotee. However based on the sheer number of Sai devotees, who have had such experiences, it is unlikely that all these people were advanced seekers on the path of nivrutti. This is because, at any given time, there can be only a handful of such highly advanced devotees. Even though the abused persons believed in Him as God, they cannot be technically said to be on the path of nivrutti. This is proved, since they objected to the abuse; an advanced devotee like Gopikas would not have objected. This means that the abused people were on the path of Pravrutti. In dealing with people who are in Pravrutti, doesn't the Lord follow the rules of dharma? If we take the example of Shri Ganpati Shachidananda Swami, we see that he recommends rituals, chanting, singing etc. This shows that He is dealing with devotees who are in Pravrutti. He does not show any such extremely negative qualities and does not have any such cases pending on Him. Shri Baba too, based on His general teachings, appears to be dealing mostly with people in Pravrutti. However His tests are so severe that they can only be justified for the path of Nivrutti. Even if these cases of abuse or murder are treated as tests of Shri Sai for His devotees, how can one justify the abuse of young children who are too young to either gain any knowledge or to understand that they are being subjected to spiritual tests? Suppose those souls were sinners and had to undergo suffering or abuse in this life. Then they could have got abused by anyone or died at the hands of anyone else. Such incidents are common in the world. What is the necessity that they had to come to Shri Baba just to exhaust their karma, which could have been done by anyone else? The identification of a human incarnation becomes extremely complicated, if not impossible in the case of a personality like Shri Baba. From the point of a common ignorant man Shri Baba can either be an incarnation of a demon like Ravana or an incarnation of God. Ravana showed many fantastic miracles, he was also a scholar of the scriptures. But his personal behavior was extremely negative. He had sexually abused innocent people like Vedavati, kidnapped Sita, killed innocent people and sages etc. The only thing that could separate Shri Baba from Ravana would be Divine knowledge. However we find that Shri Baba does not focus much on knowledge. We find many other ordinary teachers of Vedas, who preach more extensively than Shri Baba. How then can we distinguish between the two? If Shri Baba had preached extraordinary Divine knowledge like Yourself, then we can argue that He is God based on this characteristic. Once we have thus established that He is God, we can further say that since He is God, He is above dharma. Then all His cases of abuse, murder can be neglected. But when there is no characteristic in a personality like Him that would doubtlessly identify Him as God, how can the rules of dharma be neglected? Whenever a teacher subjects the student to a test, he always first gives the knowledge of the appropriate level to the student and then tests him only at that level. Thus the Satguru who has subjected the devotees to the most severe test has also earlier given the devotees the highest knowledge, which will enable the student to pass the test. How can the teacher give the knowledge of the first standard level and subject the student to a test of Ph.D. level? ===================== Reply from Sri Datta Swami ===================== To answer this, only Lord Datta has to come forward. I prayed Lord Datta to answer this through my mouth and now Lord Datta is speaking through my mouth. I enter the human body to establish both dharma in Pravrutti as well as the path to please Me through Nivrutti. By following the Pravrutti Dharma, the souls will not displease Me, because the foundation of the society which is the stage for My divine play is to be protected. I enter several human bodies at a time for various programs from time to time according to the requirement. This type is called as Purnaavatara. I am always associated with the liberated souls through whom My power carries on the program designed by Me. Such liberated souls possessing the knowledge given by Me and super powers granted by Me are called as Kala and Amsa avataras. There is no difference between My direct incarnation and these indirect incarnations. Whether I speak directly or My speech is delivered indirectly through cassettes is one and the same. All the spiritual preachers propagating My knowledge are the liberated souls who serve Me in mission. These preachers represent Me and should be respected as equal to Me. There is no difference between Myself and these divine souls who serve Me in my mission. If any question is raised against the cassettes played by them, I have to answer because their knowledge is from Me only. Each preacher has a specified cassette, which is meant to a particular level of the devotees. The devotees of a particular level cannot concentrate in one place, since they are scattered all over the earth. Therefore, these preachers tour all over the world and attract the devotees of a specified level for whom only they are sent. As the level goes down, the attracted souls increase in number because the majority of souls are at the bottom level only. Schools are many. Colleges are few. Universities are rare. Generally the Purnaavatara comes for Nivrutti and the liberated souls come for Pravrutti. But this is not a rule. When the Purnaavatara comes it may concentrate on Nivrutti only like Sankara or may concentrate on Pravrutti only like Rama or may concentrate on both like Krishna. The liberated souls also may preach to certain specified levels in Nivrutti. Vyasa is a Kala Avatara. Kapila is Amsa Avatara. However, I do not like to make any distinction between Myself and the liberated souls who are My top most devotees, serving Me in the mission. Service is the real proof for devotion. Sri Satya Sai Baba is the reincarnation of Sri Shiridi Sai Baba, who was a Purnaavatara. This means that there is no need to tell that Sri Satya Sai Baba is a purnaavatara. He has started with strengthening the foundation to protect the faith of God, which is the basic stage. For this purpose, the majority of the society is in the underground level requiring the level of foundation only. If the foundation is not there, today no body will hear the knowledge delivered through this Datta Swami. For such foundation, which is the faith in the existence of God, the demonstration of a variety of miracles is needed involving the super power, especially in the present atmosphere of scientific achievements. Sri Ganapathi Satchidananda Swami erected walls on this foundation, which involve the representative worship for the higher level. Once the existence of God is accepted, people like to worship God. In this stage, the concept of human incarnation cannot be introduced because the level of jealousy and egoism is not at all subsided in this level. People accept God but cannot accept the human incarnation. Therefore, the human forms represented by statues have to be worshipped so that training is given to develop the psychology to worship the human form of the God. In course of time, during this training the jealousy and egoism are expected to come down. Swamiji has introduced the word Datta in this level. He told that every form represented by the statue is Datta only. Rama, Krishna etc., are God given (Datta) to human beings. Siva, Vishnu etc., are God given (Datta) to souls in energetic bodies existing in the upper world. These energetic forms are also in human structure only. Since, these forms are not human forms on the earth; the jealousy is satisfied in the beginning. But the human form is already introduced. Slowly the human forms on this earth are introduced, when the jealousy comes down to the lowest level. But still since these human forms on the earth do not exist at present, the jealousy gets pacified on this point. I have laid the foundation through Sri Satya Sai and erected the walls through Swamiji. Now the roof on the walls is left over which is being done through this fellow, Datta Swami. At this level the real meaning of the word Datta is revealed, which is that Datta is God given to the human beings on this earth through the present human form only. Please do not misunderstand that the roof is at the highest level. The roof cannot exist without walls and walls cannot exist without the foundation. Thus, the roof completely depends on the walls and foundation only. Thus, the strength of this Datta Swami is only these two human forms of God. Therefore, egoism cannot enter the mind of Datta Swami due to this logical analysis. Without these two there is no need or existence of this roof. Sri Satya Sai has strengthened the human values which are the stones of the foundation. How can He break the very human values? He is building up the spiritual foundation, which is Dharma in Pravrutti. How can He Himself violate His own program? It is equal to saying that Rama married several girls after losing Sita. I assuredly say that all this is built up against Him by atheists, who are the embodiments of jealousy and egoism. How many false witnesses are not created in the cases existing in courts? How many tricks of photographs are not fabricated? Even in Nivrutti, Lord Krishna danced with Gopikas in view of a special back ground only. Gopikas were sages who requested the Lord to cut their bonds by His powerful attraction since they themselves were unable to cut their bonds. Therefore, Krishna attracted them by His beauty and flute and forcibly cut their bonds with their families. He stole the butter (Money) so that their bonds with money were forcibly cut. He has done so on their prayers only. For Krishna even the dancers of heaven will come down with immense pleasure if He gives permission by just moving His eyebrow. Do you think that He was attracted by Gopikas who were not actually beautiful? The Lord was attracted by their beauty of devotion. Sri Satya Sai was pained to see even the bulls carrying the heavy loads on the carts and was advising people not to do so, when He was a boy. Can you imagine that He has abused children and committed murders? It is equal to saying that the fire is ice cold. If He wishes, even the dancers from heaven will stand in line just to embrace Him for one second. Such person is having homosexuality! One should be ashamed even to utter such words. The hell with liquid fire is meant for such people only. Where they have to stay forever. The human beings who are rubbing this homosexual nature on Me must have the same very nature. Most of the human beings have the sages as their ancestors. The sages became homosexual on seeing Rama in forest (Pumsam Mohana Rupaya…..). The gene- characteristics naturally come down according to the present accepted concept of science. Therefore, these human beings have got that feeling from their ancestors. For a fellow who has red spectacles on his eyes sees the whole world as red only. Therefore, those who have the homosexual feeling find the Lord also as homosexual. I have met a lady in Vijayawada, who said that Swamiji called her for sex when Swamiji visited her house. Is it believable? Swamiji has done so much intensive sadhana from the childhood to control the senses about which I am the witness. How can anybody fool Me by such false remarks? The program of Sri Satya Sai was to install the faith in God and this involves majority of the society. Therefore, the fame is inevitable. I am not fond of fame because I was bored in the upper world with continuous praises from angels and divine sages. I come down to the earth bored with the fame in the upper worlds. In such program the fame is inevitable. I never try for fame. This unlimited fame naturally grows the jealousy to climax. Therefore, such reactions come out. I keep silent to such abuses because My children who are suffering with jealousy-fever should get some relief. Such abuses pacify their jealousy and they gain normal health. Therefore, I am happy that my children have been relieved from the stress of jealousy. A dancer came to attract Me in Shiridi. She failed in the very first step. A saint came from Himalayas and scolded Me for My involvement in the function arranged to honor Me. He fell on My feet on seeing Me inside the body. Even the sage Udanka tried to curse Me on the charge that I have got killed so many people in the war of Kurukshetra. Gandhari cursed Me that I have killed her sons by cheating. Vali cursed Me for killing him hiding Myself. The demon Hiranyakasipu was furious on Me for killing his brother. Tulasi, the wife of Jalandhra cursed Me for spoiling her in disguise and she forgot that she was craving for Me in the previous birth. Therefore, all these are not new to Me since the history always repeats. If you realize that all the incidents in this world are designed by Me only for My full entertainment, which always needs a variety always, you will not be perturbed over these incidents. A picture contains villain also. A meal contains chilies also. Both summer and winter, praise and abuse, worship and insult are for the full entertainment only. In fact, I come down to this earth in quest of chilies only because I am bored with the sweets in the upper world. Once, I asked all My devotees in the upper world to scold Me once so that I can have at least one hot dish because I was bored with the continuous praise-sweets. No devotee came forward with fear. But the watchman standing before My gate came forward to please Me with the required service. I told him that he should give one hundred hot dishes continuously, since I cannot get those again. The watchman was born as Sisupala and scolded Me hundred times as desired by Me. Immediately, after doing this exceptional service, I was so much pleased to unite him in Me. Even during scolding, people have observed Me with smile only, which indicated My happiness on enjoying hot dish. I have created Satan who is also remunerated like the villain booked in the cinema. If you understand My divine leela, you can never get any disturbance. Such insults are planed with several background uses also. Even the best devotee develops some jealousy hidden in the subconscious state of mind. Especially when such immense fame is observed, this is inevitable. Even though the devotee is pained, the jealousy in his subconscious state gets satisfied and thus I protect My devotees in this way also. Such incidents also test the firmness in the faith of My devotees. Thus, any incident in My creation is multidimensional. Such incidents of Rajas and Tamas are fabricated and superimposed on Me due to My will only. Then My personality looks like a multiple choice question which contains one correct answer and three wrong answers. Your digested knowledge about Me is tested by this. Do not forget that the wrong answers are also prepared by the same setter of question paper, who examines you after teaching the subject. Therefore you should not misunderstand those people who fabricated all these wrong answers to confuse your faith, which has to be tested. I know the extent of your faith and for Me there is no need of this examination. The examination is only for your sake because you are thinking that you have perfectly understood the subject. The examination reveals the extent of your understanding to yourself only. This helps you so that you will rectify the deficiency and progress further. Thus this examination system (Datta Pariksha) is not for My entertainment based on sadism. It is only meant for your spiritual progress. Often you think too much about yourself and feel that you have perfect faith on Me. Due to this egoism also enters into yourself. This leads to your fall. Only to save you, is the test conducted so that you will realize the real position of yourself and put further efforts to rectify your deficiency. Thus you have to understand My tests in the right direction which are totally aimed at your spiritual welfare only. The cases in the courts, police station and jails are not new to Me. I was born in jail when I incarnated as Krishna. A case was filed on Me in court and I was enquired when I was in Shirdi. In fact such insults give Me immense pleasure because such things are impossible in the upper world. You can find Me with a radiating smile in such situations, which indicates My full enjoyment. The souls acting as My enemies were also appointed by Me and they are given good remuneration for performing the duties of their roles in My service. Therefore you can never find hatred in Me. This is the secret of My constant bliss. The Lord does some special actions in some special cases based on the requests only in their previous births. They forget the previous births and therefore they are worried. All the Gopikas were sages who requested Me to give the salvation. But when I tried in that line, some were attracted but some quarreled with Me. All these have forgotten the previous births. In such ignorance only the real nature of the soul comes out. Otherwise all will behave in the same way and they cannot be differentiated according to their spiritual levels. When I killed Vali, it was justified even in Pravrutti Dharma. It was not because a devotee came and soaped Me for doing favour to him. In that race when a brother dies, his wife becomes the wife of the other brother (Devaran Nyaya). When Sugriva came, he thought that Vali was killed and therefore the wife of Vali (Tara) became his wife. But when Vali returned, he drove away his brother and made forcibily Sugriva’s wife (Ruma) to become his wife. This is against the rule because Vali forced the wife of his brother while the brother was alive. Vali was not even listening to what Sugriva was telling. I explained all this to Vali at the end and he was completely convinced before his death. His son Angada was My devotee but was pained often about the incident. To remove the negative feeling from My devotee, I gave him a chance to kill Me in Krishna Avatara. When the action of Rama was correct, how can He be punished? Even in Nivrutti, the Lord will never do anything against the Pravrutti Dharma. People misunderstand the Lord without knowing the background of the previous birth. The Lord remembers all the previous births but not the souls (Bahuni ne –Gita). Since the devotees do not know the background, there is every chance for them to misunderstand the Lord. Again this point is used to test the firmness of their faith. Another secret dimension also exists. The Lord transfers the sins of His closest devotees. Suppose some closest devotee has to be insulted for His sin. The Lord attracts that to Him and allows the insult to take place on Him and thus protects the devotee. Therefore every action, every word and every plan of the God has innumerable dimensions. One should not criticize the Lord seeing Him through a limited angle and unnecessarily accumulate the greatest sin. When I enter the human body, there are two ways. I may enter a created human body in the womb of My mother. Such human body also is a composite of gross, subtle and causal bodies. The qualities in such subtle body are not accumulated from the previous births because such a created body has no previous birth. Yet such human body contains all the three qualities to be mixed in various proportions, required for My play and it differs from an ordinary human being. In ordinary human being these three qualities exist in certain already mixed proportions, which are the Vasanas from previous births. Sometimes I enter a human body of a liberated soul, which also is a composite of those three bodies containing all the three qualities to be mixed in various proportions as and when My play requires. The liberated souls have the three qualities and their mixtures do not exist due to already burnt Vasanas. Thus, there is no difference whether God enters a created human body or the human body of a liberated soul. Rama was the example for first case and Bala Rama was example of the second case. Lord Narayana entered in to the body of Adisesha and therefore, Bala Rama is in equal status with Rama in the ten incarnations. Some times, I enter the body of even an ordinary human being who is My devotee. Parasu Rama was a sage and has the Vasana of egoism already. When I came out from his body after My work, his vasana was expressed in the natural way. When I killed the egoistic people through the body of Parasu Rama, I have used his egoism which was required for My work and which already existed as a prepared mixture. All these three are respected as equal incarnations because I existed in all those human bodies. You are respecting Me through the human body and therefore you should not worry about the qualities of the human body. When I enter the human body, the qualities of the human body or Upadhi are not changing. When the current enters the wire, no property of the wire like length, thinness etc. is disturbed. The current flows through the wire and does its work by resolving the fan without any disturbance to the nature of the medium. Therefore the devotees observe the medium with its own properties without any variations even if I am present in it. I am experienced through the medium and only the medium is perceived. The devotee must perceive the medium and experience Me through that medium. When you sip the coffee from a cup, you do not taste the cup but you taste the coffee from it. Ignorant people observe the medium and experience its properties only. By the influence of such observation of the properties of the medium, some do not experience Me and some neglect My experience. Therefore, such a situation is the test for the knowledge of the devotee. The devotee expects the medium to be totally different and expects that the medium should exhibit new properties or at least should not exhibit its properties. The devotee expects the human incarnation to live by taking the energy directly which is a new property of the medium. At least He expects that the human incarnation should not eat the ordinary food. A lady-devotee broke a coconut on the feet of a human incarnation! The body of human incarnation suffered a lot for ten days with the swollen feet! I told in Gita (Manusheem Tanum Asritham) which means that I have entered the human body. I have not become the human body. I have become one with the human body without changing its properties. You have to experience the current which is flowing in the wire without changing the nature of the wire. When you touch the electric wire, you can experience the current by shock. But if you are insulated with the cover of egoism and jealousy, you cannot experience Me and then the human incarnation is as good as any human being. The difference lies between God and soul existing in the human bodies. The two human bodies are one and the same. The difference is only in the inner God and soul. The king and beggar are different but their shirts may be one and the same. If you cannot recognize Me and experience Me without neglecting the natural properties of the medium, there is no other way for you to experience God because one cannot experience God directly. When a political leader does some good work to the country, the people are appreciating neglecting his personal life, because he belongs to their category of souls. All the souls constitute the opposition party, since God is the ruling party. A party neglects the defects of their own party-members but magnifies even a trace of defect which is not even real if there is a chance to criticize the ruling party. If you understand the God in the cosmic form (Viswarupam), you can realize that all the three qualities (Good Sattvam and Bad Rajas and Tamas) are created by Him only (Ye Chaiva……. –Gita) and exist in His body only. Veda says that the creation is like His body (Pruthivi ...Sareeram). Everyone recites “Vishwam Vishnuh” which means that the universe is Lord. When all the qualities are seen existing in the universe, does it not mean that these are existing in God? The basis for the bad qualities also is God. Where can they exist leaving the basis? The human incarnation is a micro form and it is simultaneously the macro cosmic form. Krishna appeared in micro form as a human being but showed His simultaneous macro cosmic form (Viswarupam). Does it not clearly mean that all the good and bad qualities are existing on the basis i.e., is God only? In such case, where is the feeling of hatred? Unless you go beyond the difference between Dharma and Adharma, you cannot digest the concept of God (sarvadharman –Gita). That which pleases God is good and that which displeases God is bad. The hunter killed the innocent animal and offered the flesh to Lord Shiva. He was given the final abode due to the love which is the basis. Dharmaraja did not tell a lie even though Lord ordered. He went to the temporary heaven only. After all, the aim of following Dharma is only to please God. How can you keep Dharma above its aim? In the case of the souls, you have to follow Dharma and maintain the balance of the society. If you disturb the balance, you will be punished. Demons were killed for the same reason. But when you enter the Nivrutti, you have to keep God above Dharma. None and nothing should be greater than Him (Na tat samah –Veda). If you cannot cross Dharma for the sake of God, you must remain in Pravrutti. Did God force you to come to Nivrutti? You yourself have recognized the value of Nivrutti and entered into it. It is told that Pravrutti is expected nature of human beings, where as Nivrutti is highest unimaginable fruit (Pravruttiresha…). Now you should not talk about Pravrutti. If you cannot stand in Nivrutti, go back to Pravrutti. God will not stop you. If you remain in Pravrutti, God is neutral to you since everything happens according to the constitution and Pravrutti is only the expected behavior for which there can not be a big reward. If you do your job, you need not be specially rewarded. He will not punish you for not entering into Nivrutti. You can question the Lord in Pravrutti and the Lord will answer your argument standing in the upper court. You can also point out the Lord even in Nivrutti. He will show the background and will submit His argument. Thus both Pravrutti and Nivrutti come under the rule of justice only. In one birth you request for something from God and when He gives it in the other birth, you are scolding Him. When the Gopika desired for Lord, the Lord refused for which the Gopika became angry and scolded the Lord. In that birth also she was a married lady. Why she neglected dharma? In the next birth she scolded the Lord for fulfilling her previous desire criticizing that the Lord violated the same Dharma. If she is a real devotee, she should not criticize the Lord in any birth whether the desired fruit is given or not given or given in undesired way. This shows that her devotion is mixed with ignorance and egoism. The situation is also to be viewed in another angle. Her own husband went to Kailasa to fight with Lord Shiva, since he wanted to marry Goddess Parvati. The war was going on; Lord Shiva was unable to kill him due to the power of Tualsi. Thus she is supporting the same injustice for which she is scolding the Lord. Unless that is done, Lord Shiva cannot kill him. Therefore, the action of the Lord is perfectly justified from all the angles. The action of Tualsi is perfect injustice from all the angles if analyzed properly. The Lord is the protector of justice. The justice has surrendered to Him in the form of a cow. It is ridiculous if you criticize Him for injustice and try to protect the justice. Please do not take My criticism also in the real sense because you should not forget that all this fight is within this world which is for Me, a cinema only. Therefore, you can find only the arguments from Me but not any trace of anger on My face. Even though an evil soul is abusing Me, I am not disturbed because the entire world including the primary energy (Mula Maya) is unreal from the view point of Myself. Here the soul is acting according to its accumulated anti divine vaasanas. When he suffers in the hell, then also I smile at him since the hell is also unreal in My view. But, the soul suffers in the hell since the world is real for it because it can never cross the level of Mula Maya. But some times I Myself book My own devotee to play this role! In such case, I am enjoying the entire scene because I am the producer, director and story-writer of such divine play arranged within the limits of this world-cinema. In such divine play, those who criticized Me were also directed by Me in the rehearsals behind the screen. Therefore, My anger on such critics is not true with respect to the background. Therefore, I am enjoying my criticism also in the same manner as I enjoy the praise. The devotee and the demon are acting in their roles and are uttering the dialogues written by Me only. I will be really angry if they show any deficiency in enacting their roles in such divine play. Thus, I am pleased in such divine plays, if My critics have played their roles well with a lot of sincerity. From My point of view, this entire universe is relatively true like an imagination. Therefore, any body scolding Me does not disturb Me because both the scolding person as well as the scolding are unreal in My view of My absolute reality. Whether the person abusing Me is a liberated soul like Sisupala or not, there is no difference for Me, because both the divine play arranged by Me and the world-cinema are unreal to Me. The sense of scolding by Sisupala is My drama within this drama of Universe, which is also My drama in the final absolute sense. Sisupala has reached Me after the role, but the followers of Sisupala reach the liquid fire in the hell. The liquid fire is also unreal in My view of the final absolute reality. Therefore, the followers of Sisupala are not reaching Me. Of course from My view both Sisupala and his followers are unreal and hence, I enjoy equally. But Sisupala played the role on My desire. The followers are playing their roles on their own desire. Do not scold even a Pseudo human incarnation, because I am there to take care of such fellows. Krishna punished Poundraka Vasudeva who was a false incarnation. The follower of Sisupala should take the divine play up to killing the Sisupala so that he should know that he will be punished. The spectator should take the drama enacted on the stage only but should not see behind the screen. By not scolding the pseudo human incarnation, one is not going to hell. But by chance if it happens to be real human incarnation, then the hell is inevitable. Therefore, if you doubt any body, leave him silently. If you have faith, worship Him. But do not abuse anybody, in which high risk is involved. To analyze and decide the human incarnation, lot of care is needed because you may miss the real human incarnation by just a hair margin. Either worship if you have faith or leave the human incarnation if you have doubt, but never criticize Him due to the high risk involved in it.

Jesus cannot be God? Mr Antony told that some of his friend say ‘ Jesus told that He submitted His soul to God’ . Based on this very statement some say that Jesus cannot be God. Swami replied: You are giving value to one statement of Jesus and you are not giving value to some other statement of the same Jesus. Jesus also told that He and His father are one and the same. This statement of Jesus is also equally valid . Every human incarnation is a two-in -one system. When you say ‘God in flesh’, the word flesh means a living human being and not mere inert human body. Krishna said in Gita that He enters the human body (Manusheem Tanum….). Here the word human body means the living human being and not mere inert human body. The word human body means the composite of three human bodies and such composite is called as a living human being. Therefore this means that the Lord enters the human being. The three human bodies in the composite are; (1) The outermost inner gross body which is alive due to the awareness that pervades all over the gross body. (2) The inner subtle body which is the bundle of qualities or feelings which are alive because these qualities are just the vibrations of pure awareness. (3) The innermost causal body which is the core pure awareness. The gross body is crucified. All the statements are given by the subtle body only through the mouth of the gross body. This subtle body stated that His body was not prepared for crucification. Here the body refers to the gross body which is different from the subtle body. At the end this subtle body stated that it is submitting its soul to God. The word soul refers to the causal body. This composite of three bodies stands as the meaning of the word Jesus. This composite is the meaning of the word ‘flesh’. This composite is called as the human being or jiva. Strictly speaking the word jiva means subtle body only. The soul is called as Atman. God entered Jesus and therefore God is in flesh. God is the fourth item and is called as ‘Supersoul’. It is this supersoul or God who said ‘I and My father are one and the same, ‘I am the truth’ etc. Therefore you should not confuse between the separate statements of subtle body and super soul. Any ordinary human beings is just a composite of these three bodies without the super soul. Otherwise there will be glaring contradiction between such statements. The aspect of human being is to stand as a practical example for all the human beings. The aspect of God is to explain practically the divine nature of God. Any human incarnation consists of these two aspects, which is a mixture of human being (Nara) and God (Narayana). If you take any sweet, it is prepared by mixing sugar and flour. But the item is called as sweet referring to the property of sugar only which is more important. Similarly any human incarnation is divine referring to the nature of God only, which is more important. An electric wire consists of electricity and non-electric wire. But it is called as current referring to the more important electricity only. You call the lamp as light which consists of flame and other materials like iron, sand, glass and cotton- piece with oil. It is called as light referring to the more important flame, neglecting other non-luminous materials. Therefore you call Jesus as God which really means the God is in Jesus. Similarly Hanuman is the incarnation of Lord Siva. As a human being he acted as a servant of Lord Rama. As Lord Siva, He jumped over the sea and killed several demons. Similarly Lord Rama learnt the spiritual knowledge from sage Vasista. This is the aspect of His human body. But as Lord Narayana a stone was converted into lady by the touch of His divine foot. Similarly Krishna is a driver of the chariot of Arjuna from the point of human being. As Lord Narayana He preached Gita to Arjuna and gave divine vision to him. The aspect of God is to teach about the God to the human beings. The aspect of the human being is to freely mix with the human beings and stand as an example for human beings. Even the Prophet Mohammed is the Human Incarnation of the Lord. He did not reveal His divine aspect because it was not required in those circumstances. Thus you have to realize the program of the human incarnation according to the requirement suitable to the surroundings. If Lord Krishna, was born in West instead of Jesus, people might have been more spoiled. The people there were very cruel because nowhere in the world in the history the human incarnation of the Lord was killed in such a brutal way. That shows their cruel nature in that time. For such nature only love and kindness can bring realization. If Krishna were born there, they could have very easily grasped the negative qualities light stealing etc. without understanding their significance and the significance of the human incarnation. Therefore a suitable program was adopted by the Lord. You should not critizise Jesus joining such cruel people about incapability of self protection. Similarly you should not critizise Krishna, for stealing butter which was only to cut their bond with their hard earned wealth. Similarly attracting Gopikas by dance was only to cut their bonds with their husbands. Gopikas were sages in the previous birth and prayed the Lord for Salvation from the bonds. Hindus in India believe in previous birth and therefore they can digest this back ground. If this happened in the West, Christians do not believe in previous birth and therefore will certainly misinterpret this concepts. Therefore the divine program can be understood in the context of the back ground of a particular region only. Therefore we have to understand the statements in the light of God as well as in the light of flesh accordingly, since both aspects are required for the devotees. The human aspect shows the path and the divine aspect shows the nature of the goal. Similarly the nature of the program of the human incarnation depends on the level of the psychology of the people living in a particular region in a particular time. With the help of such parameters only you can appreciate the total behaviour of the personality of the human incarnation.

Even fish eats some creatures and so there is no sin if I eat the fish. Even plants have life. Tsunami killed even innocent children. Can you analyze these points? ============== Ans) A goat is a pure vegetarian but you are eating that goat also. When you find a human being, who is a murderer, will you kill him directly or hand over him to the court? Assuming that the fish is also a murderer, you cannot kill it directly. God will punish it. In the case of the fish, you need not file a case against the fish in the court of the God, because there is no need of such filing in the case of God. Moreover you are raising your voice against the hanging of a murderer stating, “If you cannot give life, you have no right to take it away”. You are also pleading that hanging is the most barbaric deed and that several countries have banned it. Your statement applies to the fish also, which is a murderer of the creatures. Life is common in the human being as well as the fish. Both are living beings. If you don’t have right to take away the life of a human being, you have also no right to take the life of the fish also. The Dharma Shastras say that non-voilence is the highest justice (Ahimsa Paramo Dharmah). If you say that the fish kills the creatures for food and that there is no sin, there should not be sin if cornivorous hunters from forest enter the city and start eating the human beings. You should not object their food also, but you will kill them because your fellow human beings are killed. If you broaden your heart and see the fish as your fellow living being, you are practicing the highest form of justice, which pleases the Lord. You cannot compare the plants with animals and birds. Even in the case of plants, the green plants should not be cut. Plucking leaves and fruits is not killing. The crops are cut only when they die after loosing the sign of the life, which is the Green Chlorophyll. In plants life exists but mind and intelligence do not exist. Life is called as Pranamaya Kosa. Mind is Manomaya Kosa. Intelligence is Vijnanamaya Kosa. The life is only inert mechanism of exchange process of Oxygen and Carbondioxide and release of energy by oxidation. This mechanism has no awareness of the pain. The mind is represented by the nervous system, which is not present in the plants. The mind may be in very very primitive stage in plants as per the research of Mr. Bose. The ancient Indian sages avoided even plucking the leaves and fruits. They ate leaves and fruits when they have fallen from the plants (Swayam Viseerna Dhruva Patra Vruttita). They avoided this trace of sin also. In plucking the leaf and killing an animal, the sin is qualitatively equal, but there is a lot of quantitative difference. One percent sin and hundred percent sin cannot be equated. Your argument concludes that if one does one percent sin, why not hundred percent sin be done? This equates to your statement that if one plucks a leaf why not we kill an animal. Are you pained equally if I steal one rupee or one lakh rupees from your pocket. The trace of sin can always be neglected. The Lord came as Bhuddha and preached this non-voilence. Veda also says that one should kill his animal nature in the sacrifice and not the animal (Manyuh Pasuh). As you think, children are not innocent. The child of a demon has the devil characteristics in the form of seeds. The soul in a child has just entered the earth after a long punishment in the hell. The strength of the sinful attitude (Samskara) is very much reduced but did not vanish completely. A thief when released from a police station after a long torture has the attitude of stealing in very much reduced state. The attitude did not disappear. When he comes out and enters a suitable encouraging atmosphere, this seed grows as a tree and he is caught by the police again for his theft. Similarly when the child grows, again the grown up person does the same sin and at the end goes to the hell. This is the cycle of deeds (Karma Chakra). When a child is taken away by God, it is something like arresting the thief immediately after his release. This prevents the thief to steal again. He must be considered lucky. The child may get a better birth. The angle of sympathy comes since you are not aware of the soul in the body of the child. The body is like a shirt and the death is only destruction of the shirt. Gita emphasizes about this aspect in the beginning itself. The plans of the Lord are not known to us. He may give a better shirt in a better place and protect the soul. We see a brief part of the film and conclude. Only complete and thorough spiritual knowledge can remove all the doubts.

You say that fish etc., should not be eaten. Then, what is the purpose of creating this fish etc., by God? ---------------------------------- Ans.) Suppose I say that the purpose of creating the man is also to supply the food to tigers, lions, man-eating hunters in the forests, etc., how do you feel? Why don’t you allow tigers and lions to freely come to villages and towns and have their food? A soul is being punished through these births of fish etc., A bird, fish,etc., does not store any thing for future. Thus the soul is in the training of decreasing its selfish behaviour. A sinner who amasses the wealth of others and goes on storing for selfish purpose is born as fish etc., By leading a life of a fish, which does not store even food for tomorrow, the soul is learning the self-less attitude. Punishment is only meant for change. Thus the births of fish etc., is for a particular purpose of its soul in the spiritual path. God is the teaher who punishes all these souls, which are His students. If you view God in this angle, you will understand God as the kindest teacher. A sinner who stores the wealth and does not donate to others, gets the birth of a plant or tree. The plant or tree stores the excess earned food in the form of fruits and is forcibly made to donate these fruits to the living beings. Thus a soul in a tree is forced to learn sacrifice, which is the most essential part of the spiritual effort. Thus God is leading all the souls towards the highest spiritual goal. If you understand this real purpose, you will not dream of eating those living beings. Will you kill your classmate who is learning? This whole world is a single classroom with the single teacher who is ‘Guru Datta’, meaning the Lord given to this world in the form of a teacher. Even in the green plant a soul exists and therefore should not be cut. From this point of view, the Lord came in the human forms like Bhuddha and Mahavir Jain and preached the non-voilence as the highest duty of a human being. The Hindu Dharma Sashtra (Manu Smrithi) clearly condemns such killing (‘Ahimsa Paramodharmah’).

Meaning of 'Son of God' as told by Jesus Jesus claimed Himself as the son of God. In fact any human incarnation is son of God. If the human incarnations are sons of God, what about the other human beings in the creation? They are daughters of God. What is the difference and similarity between son and daughter? The similarity is that both son and daughter are the issues of father and mother. Similarly the human incarnation and the human being have the same parents and similar birth. The difference between son and daughter is that the son is a male like the father and the daughter is a female like the mother. Here God is the divine father. The power of God which is in the form of creation (Prakruti) is the divine mother. Thus the human incarnation and the human being are created by the will of God and by the body given by the mother. Therefore the human incarnation and the human being have the same human bodies with the same five elements. The will of the God is the sperm of the Father that entered the womb of the mother secretly. Gita says the same (Tasmin Garbham Dadhamyaham). It appears as if the mother has delivered the child because the union of the Father with mother is a secret. Similarly, it appears as if the children are produced from parents, who constitute the divine mother (Prakruti) only. Without the will of God, the child cannot be born and the will of God is secret. Now the human being is a replica of the mother. This means that the human being consists of the structure of the mother only in toto. The structure of the Father is not seen in the daughter. The awareness (soul) is a part of the creation (Prakruti) only and is called as Paraprakruti (Prakrutim Viddhi Me Param - Gita). The external body and the subtle body (Gunas or Antahkaranams) constitute another part of creation called as Aparaprakruti). In fact the awareness itself is another Antaharanam called as Chittam that stores the knowledge. In the Aparapraruti, only three Antahkaranams are told in Gita. Therefore Chittam, the awareness storing the knowledge must be Paraprakruti. Therefore the human being is just a photograph or duplicate of the Prakruti or Mother. If you analyze the son, the body of the son is also from the womb of the same mother but it contains an extra item that is the male structure of the Father. Similarly in the human incarnation, all the items of the human being (which are categorized as Para and Apara) exist with an additional item which is God (The Divine Father). The son is a human body like the daughter from the womb of the mother but has extra structure of the Father. Similarly the human incarnation is a human being and God joined together. This extra structure of God does not exist in all the human beings. This is the meaning of the ‘son of God’ as told by Jesus. Similarly Krishna is the human incarnation having the contribution from both the mother and Father. He refers to the aspect of God (Ajopisan….) and also to the aspect of Mother (Prakrutim svam….). Thus human incarnation is two in one system. Generally, He acts like His sisters in respecting the mother by following all the rules of nature only. Only in a rare occasion, He behaves like the father and controls the mother for which the mother will not mistake.

Jesus used reason If you see Bible, Jesus gives reason everywhere in His concepts. For every statement He gives the reason. When the priests asked Him that He should not have saved the animal, which has fallen in the pit on the festival day, He gave the reason for His effort to save that animal. He analyzed the Old Testament and gave logical interpretations. He did not mind to cut some irrational blind statements present in the Old Testament, by giving rational modifications. He has fulfilled His duty to be the true guide of the humanity. Whenever He leaves the world these rigid people twist and pollute the meanings of scriptures. To rectify He comes again and again. When the teacher leaves for a few minutes the class becomes undisciplined. The teacher comes to the class again and again. For teaching, the human form is essential. A statue can not teach you. If you think Him formless, He is not speaking to you from the sky or space or air. The human body is most convenient medium for the human beings to hear preaching of the God. The main goal of God is to preach the human beings and correct them to put in the right spiritual path. For beginners, He does some miracles as signs for His presence in the human body. The realized souls will detect Him even without those signs. Sheep see the shepherd and come near by recognizing him with eyes. Some milder sheep come near by hearing his voice, which is a miracle. The mildest sheep try to go away and are punished by the stick of shepherd, which is nothing but permanent hell. Therefore, if you keep Jesus in the place of the present human incarnation and place the same blind priests in the place of present blind followers, you can understand the truth because the same story and the same cinema is repeated with different actors having different names. This is the best way of understanding the truth. Those priests also opposed Jesus, when He argued with wonderful reason. The duty of the teacher finishes by teaching clearly to the class. It is up to the student to grasp it and pass or twist it and fail following the sweet emotional advises of bad blind friends. The Lord is not worried about the percentage of pass because there is no fault in His teaching. He should not be blamed for the pass or failure of the students. A student himself is to be blamed. When the messenger comes to the earth, he delivers his duty so that the God is pleased with him in the upper world. He is not bothered about the fame in this world or the number of followers. God will not find fault with the messenger if the human beings did not pass. He finds fault with the messenger if the message is not properly delivered. Jesus never bothered about propagation of His knowledge. His aim was only to sit on the right side of His pleased Father after doing the duty assigned by Him. He never cared even if the people rejected, insulted and even crucified Him. His aim was God but not the world.

The Lord is associated with ignorance in order to show path to ignorant people. The Lord is associated with ignorance in order to show path to ignorant people. The Lord has to act like a soul and practically demonstrate the path. By knowledge (analysis) you can realize that He is beyond darkness. The crackers produce sound and light. Sound represents the speech through which the knowledge-light comes out. All this is not necessary if you realize the internal meaning. You have to lit the knowledge-lights in the ignorant people through your speech. You need not waste money like this because all this is only a representative worship which is indirect. All this can be spent in divine mission of propagating knowledge and devotion in the people which includes helping the poor practically (Social service) also in the name of God. This is not the direct service of the Lord so that you can justify that it is better than the divine mission or social service. When Jesus was alive, He supported the application of scent to Him instead of spending it to feed the beggars as suggested by His follower. That was direct service since the Lord is existing in His body. The practical worship which involves spending of your hard-earned money should be always to the living beings. Even in the direct service to God, the life as the receiver is important in such practical worship and therefore God in human form only should be worshipped practically. When the fruit of service is not received by life or awareness (Chit), every thing is waste. Neither Krishna is pleased with the wastage of wealth like this through lights and crackers nor is Jesus pleased with a similar wastage on Christmas.

Other incarnations Ambition of every religion The most important point is that even if I exit from the field of human incarnations along with My small number of devotees, your problem is not at all solved, because according to your interpretation of the Bible, there are only two human incarnations. One is Jesus and another is the re-incarnation of Jesus at the end. But Lord Krishna existed before Jesus and Buddha and Mohammad existed after Jesus. The followers of these three are in millions. How can you deny these three most powerful human incarnations and how can you oppose millions of their devotees? Therefore, your problem remains the same. My presence or exit in the field is really negligible. If you accept more number of human incarnations, let there be more number of human incarnations in the past, in the present and in the future. You have to throw away all the other human incarnations except Jesus. Is this possible for you? Certainly the devotees of other religions in millions and other human incarnations in thousands will stand against you. You want all the other religions to disappear and you want all the human beings on this earth to be Christians and accept only Jesus as God? This is the ambition of every religion. These ambitions will clash with each other and peace is crushed to pieces. No religion can achieve this ambition at any time in the future. The devotees of other religions will certainly oppose Jesus, the Bible and Christianity. This happens to every religion. I can achieve this ambition of each religion to a very large extent. One day or the other the entire world will have a Universal Religion with Universal Spirituality. One day or other the intelligence of every human being will awaken and will find the truth. On that day, every human being will not oppose any religion. Every human being will say that Jesus is also God; Krishna is also God etc. This will also be your success to a large extent. Nobody will oppose your religion. Every human being will respect and worship Jesus. I cannot fulfil your wish completely. You want every one should worship only Jesus. Through My path you can get 99% success. You cannot get even 1% success by your path.

About distributing My Knowledge to everyone Christianity is distributing the books of the Holy Bible to all the people in the world. Suppose a book has gone in to the hands of a Muslim. He believes even Mohammad to be only a human being. According to his level of realisation, a human being can get the knowledge from God and at the maximum he can become God’s messenger. A Muslim will not accept any human being as the Son of God or God Himself. He reads the Bible and finds the two statements of Jesus that He is the Son of God and God Himself. He also finds the statement of Jesus that He is the messenger of God. All the three statements are in the same book. A messenger cannot be the son and the son cannot be the father. These statements contradict each other. Now the Muslim comes to you and asks you “These three statements contradict each other. I will not accept the human being to be the Son of God or God Himself. Why have you written other two statements for me?” Then what would be your answer? You would have to say “Friend, we have sent the books to all. A Christian believes in Jesus as the Son of God. Another highly advanced Christian believes that Jesus is God (Father) Himself. These two statements are meant for those two Christian devotees. The Bible contains all the statements, which suit each of the levels of devotees. Therefore, accept whatever suits you and leave the other statements”. Similarly when My lectures are sent to several devotees, who are at various levels, the same story repeats. I am Datta for My strong devotees. Datta is in Me for My ordinary devotees. For general human beings who are believers of God, I will say that Datta preached the divine knowledge to Me and I am His messenger. For the rest of the public who cannot even tolerate the last statement, I am just a devotee of Datta and I am just giving some scriptural knowledge, since I am a scholar in Sanskrit and philosophy. Therefore the objection raised to My lectures will equally apply to the Holy Bible also. Krishna is teaching the Gita to Arjuna. Arjuna belongs to the level of action (Karma). In that level one should do his duty. Therefore, Krishna asked Arjuna to do his duty, which is to fight. But while preaching the Gita to Arjuna, the Lord describes Jnana (Knowledge) and Bhakti (Devotion) also. In these higher levels, even if duty is neglected one will not get sin. But these two levels do not apply to Arjuna. Since these two levels are mentioned in the Gita as topics in the subject, Arjuna should not mistake that he is in the higher levels. He has to take only the statements related to Karma Yoga.

Human Incarnation is Very Rare Jesus said that beggars will always be present and that He would not always be present. If this means that Jesus will not come again as a human incarnation for the next generation, the next generation has lost that divine chance and so Jesus becomes partial and not just. Such a divine chance was also not given to the contemporary generations present in the other countries, which had no communication with Jerusalem. The same old chain of questions will bind this topic as usual. Therefore, the interpretation of this statement should be taken in the following manner: You should limit this statement of Jesus to that generation only. Jesus lived only for 32 years. He uttered this statement when He was 30 years old. This means that soon after saying this statement, He was going to leave this world and that that particular human generation would still be alive after Him. After His exit, they would have enough time to serve the beggars. However the golden chance to serve Jesus, would be with them only for one or two years. Therefore, it means that the golden chance was going to end very shortly. Such interpretation will not leave space to the entry of all the above questions. I am telling you that Jesus alone knows the correct interpretation of His own statement and He has given it through Me. You may believe this or not. I have said what I have to say.

Awareness and matter are the same basic inert energy 116) Ekajadashakteh vishishtakarmasamkshepau. (Awareness is special work of inert energy. Matter is a condensed form of inert energy. Hence, awareness and matter are the same basic inert energy). All the three above mentioned bodies are basically one and the same inert energy. The awareness is nothing but a special work of inert energy. The matter is condensed form of inert energy. Hence, in all the three bodies the basic material is inert energy only. Hence, there is no superiority of any body over the other body. Note: But awareness has the property of knowing even though basically it is inert energy? It is superiority in function only. But the working element is the inert only. Gross body is made of matter. What is matter? Matter is condensed form, of inert energy. Awareness is a special work function of inert energy. In all the three what is the real material ? it is inert energy only, so there is a commoness of inert energy in all the three bodies. Working element and worker are one and the same, basically there is no difference. It is inert Energy only. If you take scholar and illiterate basically there is not difference. Both are men.

The Atman, Jeeva and Gross body are made of the same basic inert energy only 117)Kaarpaasakavaasastrayavat. (The three bodies are like the three cotton clothes). The Atman, Jeeva and Gross body are made of the same basic inert energy only. These are like the innermost cotton banyan, inner cotton shirt and outer cotton coat existing one above the other. These three clothes are made of the same cotton. Similarly, the three bodies are made of the same inert energy.

The word tanu means all the three bodies, which are causal, subtle and gross. 118)Ataeva jivaatmaa tanvantarhitah. (Therefore, Jivaatman, the composite of causal and subtle bodies, is mentioned by the same word ‘tanu’.) The word tanu means all the three bodies, which are causal, subtle and gross. Since, the distinction between living causal – subtle (Jivaatman) and non-living gross bodies disappears in the presence of God, the Jivaatman is not given separate status and is mentioned by the same word tanu itself, which not only means gross body but also Jivaatman. Therefore, in Gita, when it is said that God enters the human body (Tanu), it means not only the human gross body but also the Jivaatman existing in the gross body.
