Shri Dattaguru Bhagavat Gita: Brahma Khanda: Chapter-4

(Song of Preacher – God Shri Datta)

Brahma Khanda – Part of Brahma

Fourth Chapter – Datta Jeeva Vibhaaga Yogah

(Vision of Different Souls of Datta)

God-preacher Shri Datta spoke:-

Oh! Son of Hanumaambaa! As You exist with Your body create Your imaginary world, I also exist with My body creating My imaginary world, which is this real world for You. You are also a part of this world and hence, You are also My imagination only. Are You not creating some persons in Your imaginary world? Are they not Your imaginations? My body is eternal and Your body is momentary.
You are in this external world. This world is coming into Your imaginations. I am not in any external world since all this external world is in Me only (Natvaham teshu te mayi– Gita) as My imaginary world. Hence, this entire world is My own imagination. In this way also, we both differ from each other.
Only I can create new. This world did not exist before Me, which is newly created by Me. Inert matter as food taken is generating inert energy, which enters nervous system creating specific work called as awareness and You are that awareness only. The Veda says that awareness is from food.
You are not creating anything new. Even if You think that You have created something new, it is only My creation inspiring You to create something based on the concept of My creation only. I don’t have the state of dream. I am always in the awaken state creating My imaginary world, which is this real world. I am never bound by the dream, which never approaches Me as I never sleep in the real sense. Like this also, we both differ.
When a simile is taken for comparison, You must take the simile in the required point only and other extra points must be leftover. Then only, You will know Me correctly. You cannot bring any item from this imaginary world as My comparison due to My unimaginable nature. The exact comparison for Me is Myself only.
The awareness that flows in tender nerves is very weak energy. It can’t tolerate even the heat from fire. This awareness is the soul and hence, soul is the weakest item in the creation. The awareness can’t even heat another object.
The sand particles have no bond energy between them. When these sand particles are strongly bound, hill is formed. The same sand particles can’t penetrate the hill. Similarly, awareness is a form of energy and also all items of this world. This is qualitative similarity and there is lot of quantitative difference between awareness and other items of the world. My body and Your body have qualitative similarity but not quantitative similarity.
You should not say that this world is a dream of God. If You say the word dream, sleep and ignorance are prerequisites of dream. Does it not mean that God is in sleep with ignorance? Can ignorance touch the omniscient God?
In dream, the soul is bound by the dream. Dream is the controller and the soul is controlled. Can this take place in the case of omnipotent God? He is the controller of everything and nothing else can control Him! You are controlling Your imaginary world in the awaken state, in which You are not sleeping and You are without ignorance. Your imaginary state can be compared to God creating this real world, which is His imaginary world. You can merge with any living person in Your imaginary world and identify Yourself with Him. Similarly, God can merge with any soul in this creation to become incarnation. No soul is God by itself, but, can become God if God wishes so. If You say that as You create items in Your imaginary world, I am also creating items in My imaginary world (which is this real world) and hence, there is perfect similarity between You and Me, the answer is:- This brings similarity between Me and You. But, this does not bring oneness between Me and You. Assume that oneness is resulting between Me and You. If oneness resulted, You are God (Myself). For Me, this real world is My imaginary world in which I can create matter and energy. Since You are Myself, for You also, this real world must be Your imaginary world. In such case, You must also create matter and energy in this real world, which is Your imaginary world also. Hence, simile should be stopped up to comparison only and shall not be extended to result in oneness between actual concept and simile.
You have to limit the comparison up to required points only and should not extend the comparison into all other inapplicable points. The face is pleasant like moon. You must confine the simile to the point of pleasantness only. You shall not extend into other points and say that the face must have black spots since the moon has black spots! In the case of unimaginable nature of God, imaginable nature of world and soul can’t have even a single point for comparison. Hence, unimaginable God should not be touched in comparisons. Only mediated unimaginable God shall be taken so that at least the soul can have some comparison with His medium.
I am the mediated God standing like terrible fire. You are just a tiny spark of the fire. There may be qualitative similarity between My body and Yourself, but, there is lot of quantitative difference between My body and Yourself due to difference in the potentialities. You can’t think even to imagine the unimaginable God, who merged with Me. A spark is very negligible and can be treated as almost a particle of ash. Hence, the negligible existence of the soul can be treated as almost non-existence.
If You compare My imaginary world, which is this real world, with Your imaginary world, realise the magnitude of the difference and forget negligible similarity between My medium and Yourself. When this entire world is a trace generated from My unimaginable power, imagine My position and Your position.
I have all unimaginable powers due to My omnipotence. I can enter into this world with My original form as I have come down here now. You cannot enter into Your imaginary world with Your original body. Only an imagined body like Yourself can enter Your imaginary world. The similarity is that this real world is My imaginary world just like Your imaginary world is an imagination of You. If you take both similarities along with differences, You can truly and completely understand Me.
Your imaginary world is a relative plane with respect to Yourself. Similarly, this real world is a relative plane with respect to Me. Relative plane means the state in which an item appears to exist covering its source and disappears as soon as the source is revealed. Yourself in awaken state is Your absolute plane. Myself as unimaginable God is My absolute plane. This is the similarity and not oneness!
My absolute plane can’t be touched or even imagined by Your absolute plane (My relative plane). What about Your relative plane? Your absolute plane is My relative plane. Therefore, you can’t even imagine Me in My absolute plane. Due to My unimaginable power, I can enter into Your absolute plane (My relative plane) also and You can’t enter into Your relative plane directly. This is the difference.
You have to come up from the earth and simultaneously You have to come down from sky also. Coming up means that You should become soul or awareness discarding the illusion that You are body. Coming down means that You should come back to Your soul discarding that You are God. You have not really gone up to the sky. By raising Yourself up to some height from the earth, You are under the illusion that You have gone to the sky! It is your illusion to think that soul is God and by becoming soul, You feel that You have become God!
The Veda says that knower of God is God (Brahmavit Brahmaiva bhavati). The wrong interpretation is that the soul different from God knows God and immediately becomes God. Everybody knows about himself or herself. Anybody forgetting himself or herself must be mentally derailed. Anybody may forget anything or anybody other than himself/ herself and this is not called as madness. But, if one forgets himself/ herself, it is clear madness. Do You say that God became mad? If You are becoming God by knowing Yourself, Yourself must mean God, who must be mad!
God is absolute truth. World is relatively true. Soul being part of the world is also relatively true. Hence, world is perfect truth to the soul being qualitatively similar. If you take quantitative difference between world and soul, soul is a tiny trace of the world hence, soul is almost non-existent before the world and world is almost non-existent before God (world is a trace before God). Soul saying that it is God and world is non-existent before it is climax of madness! A sand particle says that a stone is non-existent before it since it is the hill!
You must remember the essence of spiritual knowledge as:- i)Absolute God is unimaginable to You and mediated God is imaginable and non-visible (if energetic incarnation) and is imaginable and visible (if Human Incarnation). ii) You are neither unimaginable God nor mediated God (Eshwara). You are a tiny particle of the world, which is relatively true with reference to God. Hence, You are also relatively true with reference to God. You shall never say that world is non-existent. In fact, world may say that You are non-existent due to quantitative difference. Similarly, world is almost non-existent before mediated God due to quantitative difference between His medium and world. In view of the unimaginable God merged with energetic body of Eshwara, this world is totally unreal. This imaginable world can’t be compared to unimaginable God qualitatively or quantitatively because the unimaginable God is unknown about His quality (quality of the material with which He is made) and quantity (quantity is impossible since He is beyond space). In such case, how can You say that You are God based on qualitative similarity between Yourself and medium of mediated God? iii) If You don’t have the wish to become God and surrender Yourself always to Him as His servant, there is a chance for You to become God provided God wishes so to become incarnation for the sake of some spiritual welfare to be done to devotees.
Form (rupam) means that which is grasped by eyes (Chakshushaa rupyate iti). Since We are not seeing awareness by Our eyes, You may conclude that awareness is formless. This is not correct. In the definition, there is no condition that You shall not use an instrument to see the awareness. Now, You can see the awareness or nervous energy on the screen of scientific instruments as waves of energy. Hence, awareness is always with form and not without form. Energy is made of waves or particles, which have form.
This world is controlled by Me directly through My various unimaginable powers. Even Your respiration is continuing on My will only.
I have created scientific laws in the nature according to which the nature is functioning. You have studied and understood these natural laws due to My grace only. You have developed ego to say that I do not exist and only nature is existing! In order to remove Your ego and make Yourself to recognise My existence, I performed miracles in this world, which break the natural laws to prove Your knowledge as wrong by which Your ego will be crashed. I am exhibiting miracles for Your welfare only since You are My issue.
All the natural phenomena also are taking place on My will only. If I wish, the natural law disappears. The fire couldn’t burn even a dry grass blade in My presence. All the supernatural phenomena (miracles) also happen on My will only. You are confining Me to miracles only and delete Me from natural phenomena. Real scholars realise that the natural phenomena also are My works based on My will only and hence, they do not give special importance separately to miracles. For them, miracles are not necessary. Those, who believe Me seeing this nature and without seeing My miracles, are the real scholars of spiritual knowledge because they recognize Me as the source of the natural phenomena also.
My will is creating, maintaining and destroying this world. Will is awareness. This means that My awareness is doing all these three works. Hence, it is true to say that awareness is God. My imaginable awareness is a part in My body. When unimaginable God merged with My body, every part of My body became the total unimaginable God because He is beyond space. Hence, My imaginable awareness has become unimaginable and My unimaginable awareness is doing all these three works. You should not take the advantage of this statement and say that since awareness is God, Your awareness is also God. Awareness is unimaginable in My case also. The awareness of unimaginable God is unimaginable since there is neither inert energy nor materialised nervous system in Him before creation. Your awareness is imaginable and is created in course of creation of this world, which is resulting from inert energy and materialised nervous system present in Your body. Unimaginable awareness is totally different from imaginable awareness from the point of their backgrounds.
As per My natural laws, a human being speaks and a stone does not speak. I can break My natural law through My power (Myself as unimaginable God) so that a human being can’t speak while a stone speaks! Breaking My own natural law is My miracle. The law maker can break the law.
I am the divine personality expressed differently in each religion of this world. All these are My external roles in this world-drama. I am the single actor in all these different divine personalities. This concept is extended to every human being to say that I am the actor in the role of every human being!
A person called Devadatta is acting in a drama. In one drama, he acted in the role of a statue without any movement. The same actor acted as an alive king moving and talking. Similarly, the same power from Me generated inert and non-inert items in this world. The mechanism of generation of imaginable inert and non-inert items of world from My unimaginable power is unimaginable to You.
An actor can’t act in two different roles in a drama in the same time. Due to My unimaginable power, I can appear as two or more incarnations simultaneously in the same time in this world. The creation of world by Me is a different concept from the concept of Myself becoming human incarnation. You shall not confuse between these two concepts.
I am omniscient to know everything everywhere. I need not be omnipresent to know everything everywhere, which is essential in worldly logic. Due to My omnipotence, I can do anything anywhere without being omnipresent. Omnipresence is required for an imaginable item, but not for an unimaginable item like Me. Those, who say that I am omnipresent to become omniscient and omnipotent everywhere, are binding Me to the worldly logic. You can say that I am acting as if I am omnipresent due to My omniscience and omnipotence.
I am unimaginable since I can be present in several places in this present form itself. An actor can’t do like this. Due to such miracles, I am concluded as unimaginable to the human brain.
Even though different forms like birds, animals etc., exist in this world, I am in human form only. My original form is given to human beings with full intelligence. You can say that human beings are My reflections. I have given highest place to the human being in this way, but, it is falling to the lowest place by neglecting Me, attracted by this world! The angels are also souls in human form, who are blessed by Me since they are always in devotion towards Me.
A person blessed with eight miraculous powers can become small in one time and big in another time. I can become small and big in the same time simultaneously in same place or different places. My powers are beyond the eight miraculous powers (Ashta Siddhis).
The person blessed with eight miraculous powers can reach another far place travelling with the speed of energy or mind. I can appear in another place by sitting here itself as said in the Veda that I am static simultaneously having speed faster than mind (anejadekam manaso javeeyah).
I am beyond space and time and hence, can exist here and also exist in different places in the same time. The entire world is in Me and I am not in the world (Natvaham teshu te mayi... Gita).
People give simile of mighty ocean to Me and its waves to My incarnations. This simile is not completely correct. The sea and waves are one and the same qualitatively but not quantitatively. When I exist in different places, in each place, I exist without qualitative and quantitative difference between Me and other incarnations in other places. This is possible for My unimaginable nature, which is beyond space and time.
Space is having three co-ordinates:- length, width and height. As unimaginable God, I am not having volume and I am beyond these three co-ordinates. Hence, no human being can ever understand Me (Maan tu veda na kashchana- Gita).
Nobody can get the knowledge about God (Avijnaatam… Veda). I know Myself. I know everything in My creation. There is nothing unknown to Me including Myself. Hence, I am said to be omniscient (saravajnah sarvavit- Veda). I am in this state only for the welfare of human beings, which are My issues. If the human being understands Me, he/ she will be effected by ego and fall down claiming himself/ herself as omniscient. In order to save My issues from the effect of ego, I always remain unimaginable.
If I am not understood, the human being always will feel that he/she is at My feet. If I am understood, the same human being will catch My hair. See the demon Bhasmasura, who got boon from Me that anybody shall be burnt to ash if he keeps his hand on the head. After getting the boon, he wanted to keep his hand on My head!
There are only two items:- i) Creator called as Purusha and ii) Creation called as Prakruti. In the creation, there are two items:- i) Non-inert Paraa Prakruti or soul or awareness and ii) Inert Aparaa Prakruti, which is inert matter and inert energy. This Paraa prakruti is also called as Purusha. By this, the above classification is disturbed and hence, a new classification was given:-i) Purushottama or creator. ii) Purusha or soul or awareness. and iii) Prakruti or Aparaa Prakruti. Shankara took the first classification whereas Ramanuja and Madhva took the second classification. There is no difference between these two classifications.
