Kashi Gita - 3rd Bilva Leaflet

O humanity! Hear My song -- Be attentive to realize it (chorus)

 

Modern Science deals with – analysis of the entire creation

With experimental proof – as the best supporting evidence.

The ancient logic, Tarka Shastra, - also deals with creation,

But entire Tarka is – built on the theoretical discussions only,

Hence, modern Science has – an edge over the ancient logic.

Due to absence of experimental proof – Tarka slips some times.

For example, it says that – the space has sound as its property,

Unfortunately sound does not travel – in the space without air.

You should go by practical logic – not by the stamp “ancient”,

Not by the language, Sanskrit, - not by the sage-author.

In that case, Charvaka is a sage – propagated the atheism

In Sanskrit language and – he existed in good old time.

Still, Charvaka cannot be accepted – since the concepts are wrong.

Paramahamsa is a recent person – He spoke about God clearly

In Bengali language only – yet, His preaching is Upanishat.

The subject of modern Science – and the ancient logic is same,

It is the systematic analysis of – the entire items of creation.

Subject is important and not language – not the time of author.

Modern Science clearly proves – that awareness is created item.

It is a special work form of – the inert energy produced in body.

The Oxygen from respiratory system – oxidizes the food taken

In the digestive system releasing–the inert energy in the reaction.

This inert energy enters nervous system – working in special way.

Work itself is a form of inert energy – specialty due to system.

This special work is knowledge, – the information technology.

Awareness is very mild energy – flowing in tender nerves.

It just disappears and runs away – by a small electric shock.

In deep sleep, nervous system rests, – awareness disappears.

It is converted into its basic form, – the original inert energy.

After the deep sleep nervous system – starts functioning again,

The inert energy is re-converted into – work, special awareness.

It is born daily and dies daily – Gita mentions this possibility,

Gita says, “even if you think that – it is born and dies daily

You should not worry about it” – here the possibility is alive,

This possibility is not condemned – because it is truth.

If you take awareness as inert energy – in all the times,

Then, awareness is eternal – this is another angle of Gita,

Which says that the soul is – eternal without any change.

 

Shankara says that awareness is – Nirgunam or attribute less.

In deep sleep, this means that – the qualities of awareness

Disappear in deep sleep, – knowledge is quality of awareness,

Knowing itself and knowing others – are the two properties.

In deep sleep the knowledge disappears, – these two qualities

Also disappear simultaneously, – it means that awareness

Becomes the basic inert energy – loosing its qualities, Nirgunam.

This basic inert energy is – drop of primordial inert energy

That is in the form of space – appearing as this entire cosmos.

This is Paraprakruti or best form – of creation, Para means best.

Para does not mean awareness – it holds on the cosmos

As said in Gita, as a drop in you – it holds on your ideas,

It is chittam in you, drop of – inert energy in deep sleep.

It is space, ultimate of creation, – it has three dimensions,

Constituting the volume, – the sound is not accepted property.

The intelligence cannot transcend – the three dimensions.

Shankara used two words – the deep sleep and attribute less.

It means in deep sleep – the attributes or qualities disappear.

Awareness is in awakening and dream, – it is a special quality of

The inert energy functioning in – the functioning nervous system.

The soul is the basis of awareness – soul is the inert energy only.

Soul is a drop of space or - primordial energy or this cosmos.

Soul is a water drop and space is – the infinite ocean or cosmos.

God is beyond the space – He is beyond the three dimensions.

The brain cannot transcend space –hence cannot understand God.

Space is invisible energy – Agni is visible energy.

The energy-spectrum has both – visible and invisible regions.

Solid, liquid and gas are – prithvi, jala and vayu correspondingly.

Thus the three states of matter – with the two regions of energy

Constitute the five elements, – Modern Science clearly says that

There is no real vacuum, – there is nothing like nothing.

The special theory of relativity, – the bending of space around

The object, the dark matter – generating galaxies,

All these latest concepts of Science – prove that space is energy.

Space is misunderstood as nothing – or Shunyam but it is not so,

The invisible energy is thought to be – nothing but it is something.

Ignorant people mistake space – as nothing or vacuum only.

But Scientists know that space is – the original invisible energy.

Similarly, the unimaginable God – does not exist to human beings,

Because human beings can never–grasp even trace of His nature.

Not understood may be non-existent,– same happened with space,

As Scientists understood space – God understands God.

Veda says “The knower of God – is God alone”, but this is

Misinterpreted by some as that – the knower of God becomes God.

If the misinterpretation is correct – how can you face Gita,

Which says “none can know Me” – none means no body

Other than God, if God is known – to Scholars and not to

Ignorant people, Gita should say – “Ignorant cannot know Me”.

Veda says that intellectuals - only understand the soul.

Here Veda clearly used the word soul – it did not mention God.

The soul or space is best simile – for God as said above.

Simile should not be mistaken – as the object compared.

 

Advaitins say that the awareness – seen in this creation gives

The inherent quality of the cause – that created the Universe.

The black color of the pot gives – the black color of mud.

The golden color of the chain gives – the golden color of gold.

The nature of cause enters product – it is the rule of creation.

All this is welcome and correct – in the case of worldly examples,

You have built up this concept – from the worldly examples only.

God is unimaginable and is beyond – all these worldly examples,

Which are imaginable items – of the imaginable creation.

The rule of creation is – that the nature of cause enters

The effect spontaneously during – the very time of creation.

Mud enters the pot during – the process of creation of pot,

Gold enters chain during – the process of creation of chain.

You cannot say that the mud – created the pot first and then

Leisurely entered the pot – whenever the mud liked.

In that case the pot – after creation is not black since

The mud did not enter the pot – during creation spontaneously.

Let us examine Veda in this context – “God created the world,

After creation, He entered the world” – this is the Veda here.

The entry of God in to the world – is after creating the world.

If God and the world are like – the mud and the pot,

God must have entered world – during creation of world itself,

As the mud enters the pot – during creation of pot itself.

You want to catch God – through His creation, just like

Catching the mud through pot, – Veda contradicts this.

The example for creation of world – by God is not pot-mud,

It is not chain-gold because – in these two examples,

After creating pot, mud did not – enter the pot leisurely,

After creating chain, gold did not – enter the chain leisurely.

The suitable example for Vedic – statement is quite different.

A person created a drama – the stage, actors and everything.

Now any item in the drama – cannot touch the creator of drama.

The creator can enter the drama – through a specific role leisurely,

This example exactly suits – the Vedic statement, the authority.

Veda again says that nothing – exists other than God,

To satisfy this statement – let it be a magic show, not drama.

Drama requires materials and actors – other than the creator.

The magic show does not require – any material except creator.

The magic master also can enter – the magic show and can play.

The process of generation of magic – can be treated as unknown.

Only the magic master knows it – the spectators are ignorant.

Let the master is unimaginable God – only visible in magic.

Similarly God enters world – in the role of human incarnation.

Simile cannot be given to suit – all the aspects of comparison.

The visible master must be – assumed as unimaginable God.

You cannot catch God by logic, – logic is limited to world only.

The address of God is not constant, – varies from time to time.

Only by His grace you can know – His address given by Him.

 

Super imposition is the best – discovery of Shankara.

It is useful to discriminate soul – from gross and subtle bodies.

Also useful to discriminate God – from gross and subtle bodies

And the soul, the causal body, - in the human incarnation.

When soul is filtered from – gross and subtle bodies,

The misery of the world disappears – one attains peace.

Such peace is result of – total detachment from world,

Such peace is the basic stage – to enjoy devotion-bliss.

To attain peace of self, – super imposition is destroyed.

But to attain devotion-bliss – super imposition is constructed.

By super imposition the human form – is treated as God.

Then only real service and sacrifice – are practically possible.

Hence, super imposition has both – positive and negative edges.

You have to use the relevant edge – in the relevant direction.

The live wire is the current itself – no other way than this.

Shankara established the path – for attaining self-peace.

More than this, atheists at that time – cannot digest at all.

Shankara established devotion-bliss – also through prayers

Meant for atheists converted in to – theists in advanced stage.

The second part, bliss-devotion – was further stressed upon

By Ramanuja and Madhva – continuing the superimposition.

When Krishna lifted the hill – unimaginable God pervades

All over His human body – His body becomes unimaginable.

The unimaginable act of – lifting hill can be explained now.

Unimaginable God is superimposed – on imaginable body.

But when Ravana lifted hill, – unimaginable power of God

Pervaded all over his body, – unimaginable act explained,

Here unimaginable power is – superimposed on body.

God exists in Krishna – God’s power exists in Ravana.

Devotees worshipped Krishna – as God, the requirement is

Like that incase of Krishna, - but in Ravana no such

Requirement exists, hence, - only power in Ravana.

In a cloud sun exists and – cloud shines by sunlight.

In another cloud only – sunlight illuminates it, no sun.

Sun and sunlight are imaginable – relationship is imaginable.

God and His power are unimaginable – relationship between

Both is also unimaginable, – no exact comparison is available.

There is no exact simile for – God and His inherent power.

Both are unimaginable, – only product of His power is

Imaginable, which is this – creation, that too by His will!

The deeper part of creation is – still unimaginable to science,

Standing as an example for – the unimaginable entity.

Only by requirement we guess – sun and sunlight here.

Knowledge is also power of God, – it is also transferable.

It is seen in sages and in – servants of God here.

Demons have only powers – but no trace of knowledge.

Sages have powers and also – knowledge given by God.

You can filter demons from God, – no knowledge in demons.

But very difficult to filter – sages and servants from God.

Since super powers and knowledge – are common in both.

Then, how to identify God present – in a specific human form?

Creation of world is not possible – for demons and servants.

But when world exists – it cannot be destroyed to create it.

The cosmic vision shown – is again a vision only, not real.

But such vision is possible to – God only and not to others.

But some times God never – exhibits any superpower.

Krishna gave cosmic vision – but Rama did not give it.

Krishna and Rama are same – God in different bodies.

You cannot depend on superpowers – for identification.

You can depend only on knowledge, – but how to filter

Sages and His servants having – knowledge given by Him?

Both Krishna and Vasishtha have – superpowers equally.

Both preached knowledge – through Gita and Yogavasishtha

Respectively, but Gita excels – the Yogavasishtha by all means.

Gita is unique knowledge – no body can say like that.

Final decision of unique knowledge – is by your inner self only.

Analysis should assist inner self – but analysis has a limit.

You should not test pure gold – every day to get same result.

When will you make a jewel – from it and ware it?

Select Satguru by deep - and long analysis here.

Selection must have an end – analysis must also end,

You cannot analyze Him life long – to get same conclusion.

After selection, serve Him – and please Him by all means.

Service alone to please God – will have the divine fruit.

Self analysis helps you to get – full detachment from world,

It also helps you to analyze – the human incarnation.

In self analysis rejection of – gross and subtle bodies

Ends in fixing your self in – the self, pure awareness.

The similar analysis in – the human incarnation also

Helps you to eliminate – gross and subtle bodies,

Which are not God, but – here you have to cross self also.

If you stop in the self here also – self is mistook as God.

Then, since same self exists in you, – your self is also God.

Then, no need at all, to analyze – the human incarnation.

You can analyze yourself and – get the self in you as God.

No need to catch Satguru – to meet God in His body.

No need to serve Satguru – you can serve yourself!

Advaitins do the same, – they give food to God in themselves.

Since God is in their family members – they serve them also.

Self-service and service to family – is service to God!

Where is the salvation? – From whom to liberate yourself?

This is finally cheating yourself – because God is not in all.

God is in a specific living being – like Krishna at that time.

Why to give butter to Krishna? – Plenty butter is in His house.

If Gopikas were Advaitins – they must have thought like this!

They eat butter, give it to their – children and family also and

Say that they have sacrificed wealth – to God in themselves!

Foolish and uneducated Gopikas – do not know the Advaita!

O fool! Gopikas were sages – in millions of previous births.

They have passed through Advaita – far better than you.

Finally they realized that – over intelligence spoils everything.

Therefore, they were born – as uneducated backward women.

Theory should end when – the practice starts as service.

Advita is most convenient – to cover up selfishness.

Practical sacrifice alone leads – to the ultimate goal, God.

Advaita is also very suitable – to mask your demonic ego.

Therefore, sages preferred to – become backward women.

If you try to achieve super powers – your ego will increase.

If you try to use super powers – to solve your problems and

To fulfill your desires selfishness – will multiply step by step.

If one desire is pacified, thousand – desires spring up.

The fire drinks ghee and rises up – more and more only.

Therefore, withdraw your eye – from the concept of miracles.

Only knowledge is useful to you – to guide you in the right path.

Advaitins succeed in rejecting – gross and subtle bodies,

Since they have similar experience – in the self-analysis.

They get cent percent in quarterly – and half yearly exams.

But they fail in the final exams – what is the use? Finally failed.

They decide that causal body – or self is the ultimate God.

They should cross self also – to realize God as fourth item.

The unimaginable God cannot be – realized by same analysis.

Analysis helps in rejecting non-God – items, the three bodies.

Existence of God is experienced – by His grace got by you

By your total sacrifice and – total surrender of your self.

God still remains unimaginable – God is not realized,

Only His existence is realized, – Veda says the same in Katha.

Advaitins do not leave analysis, – ego and jealousy is in blood.

They do not believe in service, - sacrifice and total surrender.

They are unaware of the climax of – their selfishness-hill.

Advaita masks all their defects – they pose as high analysts!

Shankara is quite opposite to them – He fell on the feet of cobbler.

He left His only old mother – never married, never earned money.

Advaitins see only His commentary, – they never see His practice.

How many times He surrendered – to God through prayers! Think.

His commentary is only for – the beginners, the egoistic atheists.

His practice and prayers are – for the advanced theists.

Prajnanam is the identity mark, – it is special knowledge.

Specialty means impossible to – see such knowledge anywhere.

It is the only inherent mark – inherent means inseparable only.

Inseparable is not really inherent – but almost inherent.

The yellow thread of married lady – is inseparable from her.

But it is not really inherent – but it can be treated inherent.

The reason is that even – special knowledge is knowledge only.

God is always unimaginable – really inherent characteristic of

God is also unimaginable – yet, identity mark is safe.

 

In the human incarnation – both monism and dualism exist

Simultaneously, both are angles – of the same concept.

Knowledge of both angles is – needed for the devotees.

Dualism or Dvaita protects – the monism or Advaita, In fact.

The live wire exhibits the quality – of the current, the shock.

Hence, the human body is God – for all practical purposes.

You are in monism and serve – the human incarnation as God.

But after some time ego and jealousy – attack your mind.

You will repel against God in – the human body before you.

Then remember dualism to – destroy the ego and jealousy.

Current may flow in the wire – even now current is not wire.

Current is current and – wire is wire at any time.

Current is not converted into wire – nor the vice-versa.

God is invisible and unimaginable – quite different from body.

Body means gross, subtle and - causal bodies together.

God entered a selected liberated soul – of His inner most circle.

The liberated soul with subtle - and gross bodies is like you only.

He is not God actually – you can also become liberated soul and

Get the same chance-this Dvaita saves you from ego and jealousy.

Even if you treat the body as shirt, – scent sprinkled on shirt

Touches the body, the person – enjoys the scent-service.

If the body pervades all over – the shirt like current in wire,

Enjoyment of scent is full – since shirt and body are one.

If you want to talk with king, – you have to go to his home

In which he is residing today, – it may be a poor hut.

Contemporary human incarnation – is the king in petty hut.

The Gross body may not be handsome – subtle body may show

Very bad qualities, causal body – may be weakest energy,

The untouchable cobbler appeared – to Shankara is ugly with

Worst qualities like drinking wine – yet, contains Datta in him.

But God exists in that body only – today it is His home.

Past human incarnation is only – destroyed palace of king

In which he lived yesterday, – today it does not exist even.

You are sprinkling scent on the photo – of the destroyed palace!

Will the king enjoy the scent? – Similarly the photo of Narayana,

It is palace of king today, – no doubt king is in it today,

But the palace is in upper world – you cannot reach it today.

Your material body is not suitable – to travel to upper world.

You are only applying scent on - photo of that foreign palace.

The king cannot enjoy the scent – from any photo here.

You will not come to the hut – you always hate seen by eyes.

You are only a hut without king – hut repels another hut.

When you go to upper world – you will become the palace.

There also palace repels palace – you neglect Narayana there!
