OPEN INVITATION FOR SPIRITUAL QUESTIONS

Shri P V N M Sarma asked: Swami! Please dictate the message and I am ready to type it.

Shri Swami replied: The message shall be given to the question asked by any devotee. It is very difficult for Me to create the question since My brain is filled with answers only, which are the concepts that convinced My inner consciousness. The question arises only from the doubt coming out from the inner consciousness when it lacks the satisfaction due to absence of clarification of knowledge. When Lord Dattatreya appeared before His famous devotee called Vishnu Datta, the Lord asked him to ask Him any boon that satisfies his any related desire. Vishnu Datta was very much perplexed with lot of worry since no desire existed in his brain. He has to seriously search for the desire! The same situation appears in My case also if you ask Me to give the message without putting the question. I have to search seriously for the question that arises from a doubt since all My doubts were clarified by the spiritual knowledge given by Lord Dattatreya to Me.

Arjuna did not ask Lord Krishna to give some message. Arjuna was confused with a serious problem in killing elders like his grandfather, preacher etc. This doubt took the form of a question that was posed to the Lord (Pruchchami tvaam... Gita). The Lord started answering the question from the deep basis in all angles. Several questions arose in the mind of Arjuna, which were gradually expressed in course of time and the Lord answered each question carefully from all sides. Arjuna represents several devotees asking those questions individually. All the devotees merged in Arjuna to put several valuable questions and the corresponding answers from the Lord formed the wonderful diamond of spiritual knowledge shining with several colours through various angles. The spiritual knowledge is said to be the truth because the Lord need not care to impress the mind of the enquiring person to get fees (Guru Dakshina). The human preacher twists the truth in such way so as to impress and please the mind of the other side in order to get some profitable favour. The human preacher speaks according to the liking of the other side. The Lord need not care for anybody since He is the single donor to every human being. Therefore, the truth is never twisted in the message given by the Lord. The divine knowledge given by the Lord is also said to be infinite. The knowledge is concluded by the presentation of some important concepts and hence the knowledge is finite only. But, it becomes infinite due to the several answers given to infinite number of questions of doubters in various angles. In course of time, this true and infinite knowledge gives vast clarification for a single individual also because all his doubts, which were born and which will take birth in future get answered in a single quantum of sitting. He need not run to the preacher every time for each doubt. The study of such infinite spiritual knowledge clarifies all the doubts of all the human beings (Chidyante sarva samshayah). When the knowledge (Jnana) is clear and complete, it generates emotion (Bhakti) in you, which transforms the knowledge in to practical action (Karma). Action alone gives the fruit. Therefore, I invite the questions from all of you before I leave this body. Be fast. This is the best opportunity of time to get any question answered from Lord Dattatreya through Me. You will be doing great service in the propagation of this spiritual knowledge moulded in various forms of answers given to various questions coming from you. Thus, you will be responsible in building-up the entire spiritual knowledge that will be very useful in future for various spiritual aspirants even in My absence.

I am just a cook in the kitchen of the spiritual hotel run by Lord Dattatreya. I prepare the divine knowledge as various messages on your order. In a hotel, you have to give the order for getting a specific food item. On hearing the order, the cook will prepare the ordered food item and waiters, the devotees employed by the Lord for catering will serve you supplying your desired food items. This is the proper procedure. Now, you are ordering for any food item since you want just to pacify your hunger by any food item supplied. If you give order for a specific food item that is liked by you to a great extent, not only your hunger is pacified, but also your tongue is satisfied side by side. Hence, it is better for you to pose the doubt arising in your mind based on the confusion or lack of clarification of a topic in the spiritual knowledge. By such questions expressed, the existing spiritual knowledge takes different forms as answers, which will attract the crowd in the future like a gold shop containing different varieties of jewels prepared from a huge block of gold. If the gold shop contains only ingots of gold asking the purchasers to prepare their desired ornaments, such shop is not entertained much. Already prepared ornaments from gold are well received. Similarly, the answers to various questions forming the lot of spiritual knowledge will be well received. The Gita became famous by such form of questions and answers. A similar question generated in the brain of any person in future will directly receive its answer easily without any strain to the receiver. Hence, I invite all of you to participate in the greatest sacrifice of this spiritual knowledge (Jnana Yajna) submitting your contributions in the form of questions.
