Shri Ajay asked: Please give us some more advises in the context of the propagation of this excellent spiritual knowledge.
Shri Swami Replied: This knowledge is exceptional and excellent given by Lord Dattatreya to all of us for the propagation in this world to uplift the humanity by removing the differences and by bringing unity in the concepts through the exposure of correct interpretations. This knowledge is mainly characterised by the correlation of various philosophies and concepts so that the divine peace can be established in this world without quarrels rising from differences in the arguments of the spiritual concepts. Such contradictions were responsible for the birth of contradicting other religions in this world disturbing the peace of the entire humanity. The extreme development of differences between the religions has gone up to the climax of terrorism. If all the religions realize that there is only one God for the entire creation called by different names and that there is only one spiritual knowledge expressed in different languages, the religions will disappear in course of time like the rivers losing their identities on mixing with the ocean. In such atmosphere, there will be no fights based on the differences between religions and the entire humanity has the same one God. Every human being of the world will feel any other human being belonging to any part of the world as his own brother or sister. In such case, the identities of the countries like Islamic country, Christian country, Hindu country, Buddhist country, etc., also disappear. Every human being is concerned with the welfare of any other human being in the entire world. This is the ultimate aim of this Divine programme.
The spiritual knowledge is generated and propagated by the human incarnations like Buddha, Shankara, Ramanuja, Madhva, Jesus, Mohammed, etc. The human incarnation consists of two components: 1) God component generating the spiritual knowledge and 2) the human being component propagating the spiritual knowledge in this world. Since the human incarnation is a two component system of God and soul, not seen separately in the human body, the activities of generation and propagation of knowledge are separately performed by the same one human incarnation. It appears as if the human incarnation is one item performing both these activities. But, the actual truth is that the two components separately not visible to the naked eye are doing their corresponding works separately, which appear as if one human incarnation itself is doing both the works. The devotee (human being) - component does very little work by grasping the spiritual knowledge given by God and expressing it in a systematic language. The goods to be transported indicate the spiritual knowledge given by God with higher value compared to very low value of money paid to the communicating vehicle from one place to the other place. The devotee is like a tape recorder or like a typist typing the matter with the throat - type writer, while the boss (God) sits by the side and dictates the matter. I do not deny that this work done by the devotee component in the human incarnation is also a type of work only. What I am telling is that the strain involved in this work is very less because the devotee is simply transporting the goods supplied by God. In the propagation work, the task is very high since during the propagation an individual human being is dealt with by the devotee. You have to study his/her psychology, which is the digestion capacity to receive a specific level of knowledge and then only you can select the level and mode of preaching. Lot of preliminary work of the study of the psychology of the receiver is to be done and accordingly you have to modify the presentation of knowledge to exactly suit the receiving frequency of the receiver.
We think that a preacher can transform large number of souls. It is not correct at all. If one soul is transformed by one human incarnation, God feels that His visit is very fruitful. Lord Krishna said that one only can realize Him (Kaschinmaam vetti). He preached the Gita to only one person called Arjuna. This Arjuna violated all the preachings of God just after 10 days and also on 18th day. After 10 days, when Abhimanyu was killed, Arjuna told that he will drop from the war as if he was fighting! Krishna told him on the first day in the Gita that He Himself is going to kill the warriors in the war. After hearing all this and seeing the cosmic vision also about this, Arjuna spoke like this thinking that the war will stop once he withdraws from it! On the 18th day, the same Arjuna did not get down from chariot and waited for the driver, Krishna, to get down first to open the door of chariot. On the first day Krishna preached that He is the Absolute God and Arjuna also realized the same. Now, see the behaviour of Arjuna! Therefore, the work done by devotee in the human incarnation is just 1% only whereas the work done by the devotee in the propagation is 100%. There is lot of variation in the fruits also according to the values of works. The devotee in the human incarnation becomes equal to God since God merges with the devotee to identify Himself with the devotee. In the work of propagation, God is so much pleased with the devotee that God treats such devotee as His master becoming his servant! This is the reason why every human incarnation did the propagation of knowledge after its generation. The reason is that generation of knowledge was done by God and the expression of that knowledge was done by the devotee-component, which is very very less (1%) as the work of a typist or tape recorder. The devotee likes to do more than 1% service to please God through propagation. Therefore, the devotee component actually does the propagation also and it appears as if the human incarnation is doing that work since the devotee cannot be isolated separately by the naked eye of any spectator.
Coming to My personal case, I did the 1% work, which is inevitable to any devotee existing in the human incarnation. This devotee was doing the propagation work from the childhood debating with several eminent Sanskrit scholars and wrote more than 100 books on philosophy in the Sanskrit language. This devotee was offered the headship of Shankara Peetham in Varanasi in his 17th year, when Lord Dattatreya spoke 102 meanings for the single word (tu) in explaining the Brahma Sutra (Tattusamanvayaat) in the debate of scholars on the occasion of Mahakumbha Mela in Prayag. This devotee was prepared for it, but, his father did not give permission to it. Later on, this devotee asked the Lord for the reason to miss such golden opportunity. The Lord said that this devotee has a different universal programme in the future with universal scope through English language. The Lord said that programme through Sanskrit language cannot cover the wide range. At that time, this devotee could not understand anything from the answer of the Lord and became silent. Now, this devotee understands the statement of Lord spoken long ago. We can never understand the vision of the Lord in the future.
The medium in to which the Lord entered has its own limitations like life and energy since it maintains its own properties and the Lord generally will not interfere with the nature of the medium unless some special occasion arises. Every item has its own property maintained, which may be sometimes hidden or sometimes exposed. The electrified wire is compared to the human incarnation, which shows three items: 1) God (Electricity), 2) Human soul (Metallic wire) and 3) Human body (external plastic cover). Shock is the property of the electricity. No shock is the property of the metallic wire. The colour and soft nature are the properties of the external plastic cover. During the flow of current no item has lost its property. When you view (darshanam), the property of electricity (shock) is hidden and the property of metallic wire (no shock) is exhibited so that you will feel the electrified wire also as non-electrified wire. The reason is that the hidden property of electricity is not grasped by you and only the exposed property of the wire (based on your ignorant idea that this wire is also ordinary wire, which does not give shock) is grasped. But, when you touch the electrified wire, the real experience (Anubhava) shows that the property of electricity (shock) is exposed where as the property of the wire (no shock) is hidden because the shock is experienced and no shock is not experienced. Hence, the human body of the human incarnation also has the same natural properties without any variation during your view creating a false impression in your mind that the human incarnation is also an ordinary human being only. The houses of the Prime Minister and a beggar are equally subjected to cracks in the time of earth quake and natural erosion of ceramics. Now, this human incarnation is not doing the propagation due to the limitation of time since most of the time is involved in the generation of knowledge only.
One Can Enter Inner Circle of God Through Service of Propagation
The value of this knowledge is infinite. If you propagate this, the value of your service also becomes correspondingly infinite. Unfortunately, I am unable to earn that infinite value through propagation since the generation itself is consuming lot of time. Even though the generator, the Lord is ready to do any amount of work, this medium has natural limitations with which the interference of God is unnecessary as per the view of the Lord. You learn this excellent knowledge from Me and earn the infinite value for your service through propagation.
Since the devotee in propagation becomes the master of God, the devotee can order the God to come down and speak through him. Such order is obeyed by God due to the infinite value of the service in propagation. The devotee in the human incarnation is always ordered by God because of very low value of his service. Remember, your position in the eyes of God is highest for doing such valuable service. Propagation itself has higher value than typing the generated knowledge from God. Since the value of knowledge is extreme, correspondingly the value of the service also raises more and the service of the propagation of this unique knowledge becomes highest. Based on this concept, you must know that propagation of wrong knowledge gives negative value in the form of even punishment in the hell. Propagation of the knowledge like science has zero value since the fruit of such propagation is collected from the receivers. The fruit of true knowledge is unimaginable in the form of divine reward. Through this service of propagation only, one can enter the inner circle of God. Therefore, do not lose this unique opportunity offered by God to you. You will receive the highest fruit for your service. But, do the service without any trace of aspiration for the fruit. In fact, the service of God itself is treated as the fruit. The service itself is the salary and for the act of receiving salary, you cannot claim another salary for it. All this is told only to make you devoid of aspiration so that you will be eligible to receive the highest fruit from the golden hands of God, which you should forget now.
As I already told you, you must be careful with the human beings regarding their hospitality towards you during propagation. The majority of humanity has only starting problem. They are also correct because of the divine exploiters increasing day by day in the name of preachers and human incarnations. Naturally, any human being will be overcautious in the beginning itself since your value is not recognised in the beginning. Naturally, they will insult you before knowing your value and before knowing the value of this excellent knowledge. You must have lot of patience to withstand their insults. The first four stages explained by Me in the previous message (Kutichaka, Bahudaka, Yati and Hamsa) are common to both the devotee in propagation and the human incarnation. In the fourth stage, they recognise your value and start worshipping you as God. The fifth stage (Paramahamsa) is applicable to the human incarnation in which they worship it with perfect recognition as God in human form. There is no difference between 4th and 5th stages as far as the practical worship is concerned. In the 4th stage, you are treated as God and in the 5th stage, you are believed as God. The 5th stage is only in the mind, which is a theoretical form only. The way of practical worship is one and the same in the 4th stage and the 5th stage. Sometimes, the 4th stage may be extended to 5th stage if such true devotee involved in the propagation is blessed by God to become human incarnation. Human incarnation need not be from birth only. Please recognise that the value of the devotee is based on the value of the work done by him/her and not by the place of the devotee. The devotee may be placed in the human incarnation, but, since the work done by the devotee there is 1% only, the fruit given to the devotee is also least. Therefore, you should sincerely do the work of propagation without the aspiration to become human incarnation, which is just a formality only to generate the knowledge and has nothing to do with the value of the work. I give an example for this concept. In one devotional film called ‘Annamayya’, one actor acted as Lord Venkateshwara appearing in a guest role now and then in the cinema. Another actor acted as the devotee Annamayya, appearing throughout the film. The guest actor in the role of God was paid one lakh rupees and the full time actor in the role of devotee is paid 10 lakhs. Therefore, the value of the actor in the role of devotee is estimated by the value of work and not by the value of the place of the role. The actor appearing as the Lord was seen for a few minutes now and then. The actor acting as the devotee Annamayya appeared throughout the film. The remuneration is proportional to the work done by the actor and not to the value of the role. Here, only the actors are paid and not the roles. The actor acting as the Lord did not fight that he should be paid more because his role was God and that the actor as devotee should be paid less since he was just his devotee. The devotee fell on the feet of the Lord several times in the cinema. This did not raise the value of actor in the role of God and did not lower the value of the actor in the role of devotee.
All the devotees should take care of ego irrespective of the role and remuneration. You should always watch about its attack, which travels always with you waiting for the opportunity to bite you like the snake. The devotee in the human incarnation has lot of risk because the speech of the Lord should be expressed carefully by saying everywhere that the Lord did every good work and the soul was responsible for every defect. Sometimes, the Lord speaks directly through the throat of devotee. This is not the ego of the poor devotee, which may be misunderstood as the ego of the devotee in the human incarnation. When Jesus told that He is the truth, it refers to the speech of God through the throat of devotee. The same Jesus told “Let Thy will be done” and here the speaker is the devotee. You can easily identify the speaker based on the context and should not misunderstand the devotee in the human incarnation effected by ego. The devotee in the human incarnation is very near to God and under the total control of God and cannot be touched by ego. In the Gita, the speaker throughout was only God and hence it is called as the Bhagavad Gita (speech given by God) and not Krishna Gita (speech given by the human being-component).
