Kashi Gita - 5th Bilva Leaflet

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

 

Gita says that even the greatest sinner – is good if he is His devotee,

Gita further says that such a sinner - becomes shortly a good person.

The devotee will not become good – simply by singing songs on God

To attain boons from God, – it is a crude primary stage in devotion.

A devotee will try to study the nature – of God in advanced devotion.

The devotee gradually becomes interested – to know the nature of God.

As time proceeds, he looses interest in himself, – interested in God only.

It is the main part of spiritual knowledge, – which is of three items.

Knowledge of God, path to please God – and soul as non-God item

Constitutes Triputi of divine knowledge, – this turns devotee good.

He comes to know that God is – the overall ruler of all creation.

If some body beats you, – keep silent and do not even curse him.

You might have beaten him – in the previous birth and now

It is compensated with interest, – the case is now closed forever.

In this case you cannot expect God – to punish him at anytime.

Your long observation about him – will discourage you thoroughly.

However, if he has beaten you – without this back ground,

God will certainly punish him, – you will beat him with interest.

But the time gap is uncertain, – may be now or may be next birth.

The reason is that God punishes any body – only for transformation.

God might have punished him already – in some other angle,

Which is unknown to you and God is – waiting for the change in him.

If change is not observed – God will use the pending punishments.

Punishment due to you is somewhere – in the list of his cycle.

You are eager to punish him – just to pacify your revenge.

Your aim of punishment differs – from the aim of punishment by God.

If you realize the administration of God – or the cycle of deeds here,

You are not anxious to punish him, - law and order in God’s hands only.

Now the criminal nature is put off, – society becomes peaceful.

Similarly the devotee will not be corrupt – by knowing God’s nature.

God will give you whatever is necessary – at the appropriate time.

You are His devotee, why to worry? – no need of corruption.

Even if you accumulate wealth, – it may harm your family.

Your child may be spoiled due wealth, – then wealth is harmful.

Yes, the wealth is terrible poison, – if it is earned by corruption.

God may bless your child directly – to earn infinite wealth here,

If He is pleased with your selfless service, - which is better?

The knowledge of God avoids – crime and corruption in devotee.

If individuals are transformed – the society is perfectly peaceful.

You cannot control crime and corruption – by employing controllers.

Controllers become criminal and corrupt, – no end to your effort.

Ancient kings supported – the propagation of spiritual knowledge.

It could control the sin, – crime and corruption are the two halves of

The sin, you are spending ten times – on employing controllers, but

There is no trace of control, - spend a small part of it on scholars

To propagate spiritual knowledge, – the sin is controlled fully.

In the name of secularism – the present Government neglects

This aspect and tries to cure – symptom of disease but not cause.

In Ayurveda, the Indian medicine – treatment of cause is given

More importance, called as “Nidanam”, - if cause is not cured,

The disease is not cured at all – symptoms appear again and again

As long as the disease exists, – disease is permanently cured only

When its cause is cured, - spiritual knowledge cures cause.

The efforts of secular Government – are not controlling even

The symptoms, not to speak of cause, – ancient kings were wise.

Secularism is not understood, – it means taking medicine from

Bottles of different colors equally, – today secularism means

Not to take medicine from any bottle, – disease is never cured.

Nivrutti or spiritual knowledge – is the basis for Pravrutti or society.

Social justice and peace become - eternal and real in this society

Only when the spiritual knowledge – of all religions is stressed upon.

If you avoid the religion, – the spiritual knowledge is also avoided.

Universal spirituality is taking medicine – from bottles of various colors.

Spiritual knowledge is collected – from various religions on earth here.

This is impartiality while getting – the benefit of using the medicine.

Secularism is really this only, – but today secularism is misunderstood.

Today it is the impartiality – by not taking medicine from any bottle!

Impartiality is achieved, no doubt, – but there is no use of medicine,

As medicine is avoided from all bottles – for the fear of partiality!

When impartiality can be achieved – by another useful way, then,

Why do you choose useless way – to achieve same impartiality?

 

You are trying to bring socialism, – it is the middle golden path

Between the extreme ends of – the capitalism and the communism.

Socialism was perfectly achieved – in India in the ancient times.

The reason was that spiritualism – stood as support for socialism.

Rich people donated to poor liberally – by assimilating spiritualism.

Poor people were always contented – by understanding spiritualism.

Today neither rich donate to poor, – nor poor is contented at anytime!

Today socialism is dead really in India, – only false socialism exists.

Due to this, terrorism shot up, – the peace of society vanished away.

The basic reason for all this is – due to absence of spiritualism.

In ancient India, spiritualism – is a compulsory part of education.

But today education is only - confined to the entire materialism.

It is the responsibility of the – Government to compel spiritualism

In the course of education, - otherwise, individuals are not changed.

Without the basic transformation – of all the individuals, the total

Society cannot be transformed, - transformation by mere materialism

In education is impossible – without the basic spiritual knowledge.

Unless this fundamental is rectified – Governments will fail here.

 

Mere social service without devotion – gives temporary heaven,

Veda and Gita say the same, - such social service is not eternal.

If you force rich to help poor, – they will act only, no reality.

If you convince the rich – by preaching spiritual knowledge,

They will really serve poor, - force will not work forever.

Even the poor people after – receiving donation from rich,

Do not get satisfied at any stage – without spiritual knowledge.

The result of your social service – gives them temporary happiness.

Hence, the fruit for your sacrifice – must be also temporary only.

A politician gets temporary post – and earns temporary wealth

For his social service, – his fame is also not eternal because

It does not follow the soul – after death to the upper world.

Preaching spiritualism should be – the main activity always

Like teaching subjects is main – in a residential college.

Boarding and lodging are also given, – but they are not main.

Similarly, while turning people – into devotees, you may help

The poor people involved in – such divine conversion here.

In such case the fruit is eternal, – because the poor people learn

To be contented with available benefits, – no end to materialism.

In the present socialism – the poor is never satisfied in life,

Donor weeps after donation – receiver is never satisfied.

This leads to cheating by donor – and revolt by receiver.

Both destroy the peace of society, – Pravrutti is disturbed.

Nivrutti cannot stand in society – with disturbed Pravrutti.

Nivrutti is the play of Lord – Pravrutti is the stage for His play.

Yajna is sacrifice for society – that gives temporary heaven.

By such Yajna, Dharma Raja – went to temporary heaven only.

The same sacrifice of Saktuprastha – to Lord in the guest form

Leads him to the eternal abode of God, - Nivrutti is highest.

If Nivrutti is preached – Pravrutti is also setup permanently.

If Pravrutti alone is preached – even Pravrutti is not settled.

Without the knowledge of God – society cannot be controlled.

Knowledge of God leads people – to permanent abode of God,

Simultaneously it will also setup – the balance of the society.

 

Atheists do not believe in hell, - heaven and abode of God.

The souls will return from hell and heaven, – not from God.

For mere social service – God created temporary heaven.

On the earth the soul is given - opportunity to develop itself.

By social service it may go to – heaven for some time,

Or it may reach permanent – abode of God by selecting

God in human form here, - freedom is given to soul.

God does not want to disturb – the soul on this earth

By giving punishments constantly, - earth is not hell.

The soul is engaged in effort – with free opportunity here.

Hence, the punishments for the soul – are reserved in hell.

Similarly heavenly luxuries – may divert the soul here

From the possible efforts – for trying for Nivrutti in this life.

Hence, luxuries are postponed – to heaven after death.

The abode of God as - upper most world is also required,

Because for the souls - in energetic bodies after death,

A separate world with God – in energetic body is required, so that

The liberated soul by Nivrutti – is constantly associated with God.

Such soul assists the Lord here – by coming in material body again.

Atheists say that today – rockets have gone even to moon, hence,

There is no hell, heaven and – the abode of God in the space.

But scientists say that space is infinite – no rocket has gone

Up to the boundary of space – to say that space ends there.

Did you show compound wall – along the boundary of space?

If there is a compound wall, - what is present after that wall?

The space is infinite and – you have not shown absence of

Hell, heaven and abode of God – by showing the limits of space.

Of course, we have not shown to you – their presence also.

There is fifty-fifty probability – for absence and existence.

Let us assume their absence – what is the loss for me,

If I believed their presence – and acted accordingly?

I might not have enjoyed luxuries – like an atheist here,

Due to that my health and – mental peace are conserved well.

Let us assume their presence, - what will be your fate? Think.

You will be powdered in hell, - here also due to over luxuries

You have lost health and peace, - loss here as well as there.

Unimaginable miracles are seen – unimaginable events in life give

The experience of unimaginable God, - better to believe,

Even by logic of probability, – which is scientific concept.

Even the infinite space of cosmos – is a standing example for

The existence of unimaginable – nature, this is cosmic vision

Shown by Krishna to Arjuna, – it is miracle for any one to see.

Such belief in God by probability – is a partial faith only,

But it is better than no faith – of atheism assisted by science.

The full faith alone gives – the final eternal divine fruit.

The above partial faith – should slowly result in full faith.

 

The blind fanatic conservative rigidity – of one’s own religion is

Leading to communal wars – destroying the peace of society.

Common sense and simple analysis – are sufficient to know truth.

Every religious fan says that – his God created this earth.

Unfortunately there is only – one earth and not many earths.

Religions are many with different Gods, - but, sorry, one earth only!

This clearly means that there is – only one God, names differ.

Then, one God should preach – one syllabus only to the earth.

Languages may be different, – but subject is one and the same.

God is impartial Father of all souls – existing on this one earth.

If you say that Krishna alone is God, – Gita alone is the path,

Those who followed Krishna only – are liberated, others to hell,

We fully agree, but one small doubt, - when Krishna came here,

India was disconnected with – other foreign countries for some time.

During that time, foreigners, - who died ignorant of Krishna

Went to hell and fault was not in them – they did not know Krishna

Due to fault of Krishna only, - if Krishna wished, all countries

Could have been linked on His – arrival to India simultaneously.

Having known Krishna, – if the foreigners did not follow Him,

Their hell is justified, – now Krishna becomes partial to India.

God is always impartial, – entire earth is His creation only.

All the souls on the earth – are issues of the same divine Father.

Partiality is not justified, - if you say India alone has good devotees.

It is also not true because – Kauravas opposed Him vehemently.

The only solution is that God came – to all countries simultaneously

In different names and preached – the same syllabus simultaneously.

This logic applies to all religions, – When Jesus came to Jerusalem,

India was disconnected for some time, – in that time some Indians

Went to hell for not following Jesus, - it was not their fault at all,

Jesus need not be partial to Jerusalem – containing good devotees

Only, since He was crucified by – the worst priests in Jerusalem.

The solution is that same God came – to India and Jerusalem.

Krishna and Jesus were names – of same God in different tongues.

God comes in human form – in all places of the earth and also

He comes in every generation – that contains both good and bad.

If devotees of one generation are – favored by His direct visit,

God becomes partial for no reason, – God is not such mad!

Priests never accept human form – of God before their eyes.

They like the worship of models – that represent God indirectly,

So that the results of worship – indirectly come to them finally.

Priests did not give place for God – after Buddha in Kali age.

Buddha came in the beginning of Kali, – priests showed Kalki

At the end of this Kali age, – no human form till the end.

Similarly Christian priests – opposed Jesus when He was alive.

After Jesus, they say that – Jesus comes only in the end.

The psychology of priests – is the same in the whole world!

Krishna said that He will come – whenever He is required.

‘Jesus will come again’ means, – He will come in next generation.

If the guest says to you – that he will come again to you,

Does it mean that he will come – only once in his entire life?

In Christianity the soul after death – waits till the final enquiry.

In that case the soul meets God twice, – once in its lifetime

And finally at the time of enquiry, – this is justified, if no rebirth.

Every soul meets God in human form, – once while it exists

On the earth in the human body, - finally in final enquiry.

This is possible only if God – comes in every generation.

Otherwise, souls born - along with Jesus were only lucky,

Since they alone met God as Jesus – and in final enquiry.

All the other souls have only – one chance to meet finally.

This is again blind partiality, – God can never be blind.

Any priest in the world – does not like contemporary form

Because the benefits of service – to God should come to him.

This is possible only if God – is limited to symbolic models.

The human psychology is always – selfish and egoistic here.

Jesus told that He and His father – are one and the same.

This is Advaita, He told that He is – the son of God, this is

Vishishtadvaita stating that – son is part and parcel of father.

Jesus told that He is messenger – of God, this is Dvaita stating

That God is master and – Son of God is His servant.

Mohammad stressed on Dvaita, - since all souls are servants,

God is the master to be served, - then Son of God is not special.

This will remove jealousy of priests – towards the Son of God.

This will avoid crucifixion of – Son of God by priests.

Remember, Mohammad came – just after Jesus and tried

To avoid brutal consequences – of jealousy of priests on

The Son of God or contemporary – human incarnation in future.

Mohammad said that God – never becomes human being.

It is perfectly correct, – current is not converted into wire.

It only entered wire – God in flesh, Manushim Tanumashritam,

Mean that God entered human body, – not converted into human body.

Human body means gross body – with the liberated soul selected

By God for human incarnation, – the soul is a part of the body.

The soul is causal body, – the qualities in soul are subtle body.

The soul acts as personal assistant, – as inert as the gross body

Due to total surrender to God, – this soul is the Son of God.

Every soul has equal chance – to become the Son of God.

Every student has equal chance – to get the gold medal.

But in an year only one student – tops and gets gold medal.

The other students should not – hate the topper by jealousy.

The chance given was not – properly used by other students.

Neither God is partial nor – the topper should be blamed.

Still there is time, use it, – next time you may be topper.

Even during stay of God, – God is God and soul is soul.

Even in live wire, current – is current and wire is wire.

Wire is only treated as current – for all practical purposes.

God is unimaginable and - cannot be served directly.

There is no other way than – to serve mediated God.

Buddha is also misunderstood – as an atheist by followers.

Buddha kept silent about God, – silence means unimaginable.

Silence does not mean that – God is non-existent, Veda says

That words cannot touch God, – only silence indicates God.

Shankara says that God is best – explained through silence.

All religions can be correlated, – since there is one God only.

The concept of one God – should be proved first of all.

Then only correlation of – the scriptures of all religions.

Without the basic establishment – of the point of one God,

If you correlate scriptures, – correlation may be coincidence, since

Some times unity may exist – in speeches of different speakers.

This will not bring unity in – all the religions of world for peace.

If one God is proved first, - all religions must be united subsequently.

Shankara united sub-religions – in Hinduism and brought peace.

Hinduism in those days was – like the present fighting religions.

Shiva, Vishnu, Ganapati, Shakti – Skanda and Surya were Gods.

Their followers were fighting – like the present religious followers.

Yesterday-Hinduism represents – today-Universal Religions.

Today-Hinduism represents – tomorrow-united religions.

Shankara brought unity in Hinduism – similarly Datta will bring

Unity of Universal Religions – through analytical arguments.

God stressed certain aspects – especially in various religions.

Pickup those central diamonds – and prepare a garland with them.

That will be our Universal Spirituality – for the peace of world.

Hinduism is famous for unity – in diversity of various aspects.

Christianity is famous for kindness – even for sinners to uplift.

Islam stands for sincerity and – strict discipline towards God.

Buddhism is for controlling desire – in the service to society.

Jainism is for kindness to – all living beings in this world.

Similarly you can pick up – gems from various other religions.

Science is also a religion – to analyze non-God items of world.

Shankara united various – branches of single religion, Hinduism.

Then India stood as spiritual guide – for all Indians themselves.

Today all religions of world exist – in India, Datta unites them.

Now let India stand as spiritual guide – for all religions in world

To unite all citizens of the world – to achieve world peace.

 

 

Service is action and action alone – yields the fruit anywhere in world,

Service is Karma Yoga, the final step – preached by preacher Madhva.

Action results from interest, – when interest to see Bombay arises,

You will do all practical efforts – to reach the city and to enjoy it.

This interest is devotion preached by – Ramanuja as the second step.

Interest is created by the details – or knowledge of Bombay, hence, Knowledge is basic first step, - Shankara preached it as Jnana Yoga.

Knowledge and devotion are promoters – like fertilizer and water for

Practical sacrifice, the seed that grows – into tree called as the service.

The tree alone yields fruit and not – water or fertilizer in any amount.

Service is sacrifice of work for saints, - it is called as Karma Sanyasa.

Hanuman sacrificed work for Rama, - saints can do work only to God.

Householders can sacrifice work - and also fruit of work, the wealth.

Gopikas, as householders sacrificed – butter, the fruit of their work.

Sacrifice of fruit of work is called as – Karmaphala Sanyasa by Gita.

Arjuna, a householder sacrificed work – by fighting with evil forces

To establish justice in God’s mission, - Arjuna was not for kingdom.

He refused to fight for his benefit, - fought for work of God only.

Rama masked His divinity by ignorance – like a pearl in iron box.

He did not preach anything, - He did not show any miracle.

Krishna was more intensive in test, – pearl was colored red.

Krishna appeared as thief and dancer, - did not preach Gita then.

He appeared as worst fellow – to test the top most sages.

Rama tested angels like Adishesha, – Krishna tested top sages.

Sages are of higher level – than angels in spiritualism always.

Shankara came for ordinary – human beings on this earth.

He expressed divinity through – preaching knowledge always.

Human beings cannot recognize – masked or colored pearl.

When Datta came as untouchable – with very bad qualities,

Even Shankara could not recognize Him, - it is only a message

To say that God covered by Maya – misleads even top most.

You may say that service is impossible, – Hanuman and Gopikas are

Exceptional and human beings – cannot sacrifice so much in action.

This is totally wrong because – human beings sacrifice so much here

For their children, impossible - must be impossible every-where.

You are sacrificing your entire work – to serve your children always.

In the end you are sacrificing – all your wealth to them only here.

In such sacrifice, you are not – aspiring any fruit in return from them.

It is the true love, practically proved – truth, none can deny this.

Compare God and your child – in the practical love and estimate

The percentage of reality – in your love to God without hypocrisy.

You are not doing prayers with words – meditation and devotion with

Mind, discussions with intelligence – for your child as you do for God.

All your love to God is false, - only to get practical benefits from God

Through words, feelings and discussions – like a prostitute exactly.

Even if you serve God – through work and fruit of work, it is only

Advance investment for more profit, – you are just a merchant.

Do not be Veshya or Vaishaya before God, – at least be frank,

Admit your defects and do not try – to fool God by false show.

There are five instruments, – word, mind, intelligence, work and

Fruit of work that can be sacrificed – to indicate your love here.

The first three are theoretical, - the last two are practical.

Practice is a proof for theory, - practice also must be without any

Aspiration of fruit in return, - then only the practice is real.

Theory must lead to practice – practice will lead to the fruit.

Gita says that God reacts – in the same way of your action.

Bible says that you reap – what you sow in the land.

For your sacrifice of words – through prayers, God will grant you

Good voice and language, - for your sacrifice of feelings, God

Grants you good mind, - for your deep discussions, God grants you

The intensive intelligence, - for your practical sacrifice, God acts

Practically in your case, - for your practical service without any

Aspiration for fruit, God gives you – the unimaginable eternal fruit.

Words, mind and intelligence are – freely given to you by God,

Like drinking water supplied to you – by the municipal authority.

Even a hotel does not charge you – if you drink water in it,

But you are charging God with – practical boons for your

Sacrifice of freely supplied words, mind – and intelligence by God!

You pray with words, you sing songs – and express feelings

In the name of devotion and you – discuss deeply about God.

If you do all these without any – aspiration of fruit in return,

It is good because this theory – leads you shortly into service.

But you are aspiring practical fruit – for sacrificing theory, very bad.

Aspiration of fruit in return – at any stage of spiritual effort spoils

Your entire value in the eyes of God, - if you treat God as your child

And sacrifice work and fruit of work – as in the case of your child

Without any aspiration of fruit in return, – you are a real devotee.

Then, God will give you eternal fruit, - you are in His inner most circle.

Greedy selfishness is first decease, – egoistic jealousy is the second.

First is due to your family bonds, – second is towards co-human form.

First is cured by training yourself – in sacrificing practically in temples.

Of course, your sacrifice goes to priest, - let it be, do not worry on it.

You are learning practical sacrifice – coming out of your family circle.

Here the second decease is also – expected to get cure gradually,

Because you are serving statues – having human form only.

Your repulsion to human form – gets decreased slowly in doing

Service to the statues of human form, - when you are cured fully

From both the deceases, you are – now eligible for Jnana Yoga.

Rituals in temples purify your mind, – Shankara says this.

Jnana Yoga means identifying Satguru, - the human form of God.

Then, devotion to Him and then – service to Him gets eternal fruit.

If you are identifying the purpose – in your temple rituals,

You will reach the goal, one-day or other – tradition expects this.

But without knowing the purpose, - if you simply go on like bull,

Priests exploit you, – Veda says that such a fool is only

The animal-vehicle of angels, - the ignorance stamped by divinity.

Gita says that rituals must be done – after knowing their purpose.

 

Today the priests recite Vedas – in doing various ritual ceremonies,

None knows the meaning including priest, – this is biggest tragedy!

Gita says that ritual should be – platform for knowledge, Jnana Yajna.

Gita praises knowledge saying that – God is pleased by knowledge.

Vedas are in Sanskrit, – none learns Sanskrit including priest.

Veda itself means knowledge, - knowledge leads to devotion.

Devotion ends in practice – practice alone yields divine fruits.

Sage Yaska says that a ritual performed – by mere recitation

Becomes useless like cooking without fire, – Yaska is Vedic sage.

In ancient days this problem was not there – because for sages

Sanskrit was mother tongue, - if you see other religions, there

The scripture is in mother tongue, – knowledge is attained.

In ritual, several gather, – it is a good opportunity for priest

To propagate divine knowledge – to generate devotion in them.

If devotion is generated – God is pleased with such Jnana Yajna.

This is one serious defect – that eclipsed Hinduism in India.

The second eclipse is human rebirth, - Hindus believe in human rebirth.

Therefore, negligence in spiritual line, - in other religions no rebirth.

People fear if there is only one chance – to write the examination.

Lot of care and attention in other religions, – Hindus are not caring.

In fact, there is no human rebirth, – Shankara says, it is very rare.

Very rare means almost impossible – except in some exceptional cases.

God is omnipotent to sanction – human rebirth for few deserving.

Such exceptional power of God – is not mentioned in other religions.

That did lot of good to them – since they become very careful.

Hindus generalized the special – exemption to all human beings.

This is a misinterpretation and – it harmed a lot giving negligence.

Another misinterpretation is that – sin can be nullified by good deeds.

It is totally wrong, only priests say this – to earn some money by rituals.

Pandavas did lot of good deeds and rituals – only very little sin.

Their sin was not cancelled by – their good deeds and rituals done.

They went to hell as seen by Dharma Raja – Yama said that

Good and bad are to be enjoyed separately, – no mutual cancellation.

Gita says that God can relieve you from sin, – it is certainly correct.

But if you see the procedure – the fruit of action must be enjoyed.

God transfers your sins on to Him – and relieves you from your sins.

But this is only in the case of – exceptional top most devotees.

Bible also says that He came – to save His people and not all.

Due to these misinterpretations – human beings become sinners

With an idea to cancel sins – later on by doing certain rituals.

The corruption here is in climax – people loot wealth of innocent,

For the luxuries of their family members, – who do not share sin.

People kill others for the sake of – happiness of their kith and kin.

Corruption and crime are maximum – in India compared to others.

Shankara says, worldly bond – is unreal in past, present and future.

Anything unreal in past and future – must be unreal in present also.

The bond between two actors – was unreal before and after drama.

Then, same bond must be – unreal during the time of drama also.

Your family bonds are unreal even now, – since they were unreal

In previous birth and will be unreal – in your future birth.

Sage Ashtavakra says to Janaka that – the mother in the present birth

Becomes the wife of her son in next birth, – understand naked truth.

Two actors act as mother and son – in one cinema and the same

Actors act as wife and husband – in the next cinema, we see this.

For such unreal family bonds – you are doing so many sins,

They will not share even a trace – of your sins in the future hell.

Narada revealed this truth to Valmiki, – who was robbing travelers.

Valmiki became the sage – after realizing this truth practically.

Today even basic Pravrutti is dead – Nivrutti is not even in dream.

 

This country with such climax of – the ancient spiritual knowledge

Standing on the sky has fallen – not to earth, even far below earth.

India was a unique guide in Nivrutti – for entire Universe, One day.

Today in India even Pravrutti lost – even the minimum standard!

The reason for such drastic fall – is only misinterpreted scripture.

Spiritual knowledge is not – frequently propagated in rituals due to

Priests ignorant of the language of scripture, – human rebirth is

Another reason for spiritual negligence, - cancellation of sins by

Rituals is another misinterpretation, – all these contributed equally

For the fall of standards in Hinduism, - it should be revived now.
