God-Preacher Shri Datta spoke:-
- Nivrutti means total detachment from all the worldly bonds, which may be legitimate or illegitimate. If the detachment from illegitimate worldly bonds (like the bond with a prostitute) is achieved, it is partial Nivrutti because the attachment with legitimate worldly bond (like wife) is still persisting. Such detachment is partial from the total worldly bonds. The attachment to illegitimate worldly bond is Dushpravrutti and hell is the place for such a soul. The attachment to legitimate worldly bond is Pravrutti and heaven is the place for such a soul. If the soul is detached from both prostitute (Dushpravrutti) and from wife (Pravrutti) due to attachment to God, it is Nivrutti and the place of such a soul is the abode of God or Brahma loka. One may fall from Sky (Nivrutti) to Earth (Pravrutti), but shouldn’t fall from Nivrutti or Pravrutti to Dushpravrutti (lowest world called Paataala). God encourages Pravrutti by giving heavenly awards and never advises Nivrutti, which is His personal bond. Hence, no scripture written by God encourages much the Nivrutti. Nivrutti is the top secret, not disclosed by God at anytime, which is the investigation done by top class Devotees.
- God discourages Dushpravrutti or injustice and encourages Pravrutti or justice. He is perfectly satisfied if the soul rises from injustice to justice. An exceptional soul rises to make a strong bond with God leaving both justice and injustice. In this case only, leaving justice is not injustice. Leaving the justice for the sake of injustice is injustice. Leaving wife for the sake of God is not injustice. Leaving the wife for the sake of a prostitute is injustice. Pravrutti can be left for the sake of Nivrutti and Pravrutti shall not be left for the sake of Dushpravrutti. Sometimes, a soul leaving Pravrutti for the sake of Nivrutti may directly enter Dushpravrutti. Sage Vishwaamitra left his wife for the sake of God and was doing severe penance for God. This sage Vishwaamitra fell from Nivrutti to Dushpravrutti on seeing the heavenly prostitute called Menaka. Even though his wife tried her level best, he didn’t fall from Nivrutti to even Pravrutti. But, he fell straight from Nivrutti to Dushpravrutti! What is the reason for such a steep fall? The reason is the exceptional beauty of Menaka compared to the beauty of his wife!
- This means that many a time Dushpravrutti is more powerful than Pravrutti. The human tendency is more proned to Dushpravrutti or injustice than Pravrutti or justice. Hence, Dushpravrutti is used for testing the devotees of Nivrutti. Nivrutti or full detachment from all the worldly bonds shall be attained by the attachment to God. Then only, the attachment to God is real and natural. There shall not be any force in the detachment from the worldly bonds. The detachment from worldly bonds must be attained spontaneously by the real attachment to God. If the attachment to God is not real, Pravrutti may fail to drag the Nivrutti devotee down, but, the powerful Dushpravrutti will certainly drag the Nivrutti devotee down.
- Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was tested by the most beautiful actress called Tara. Shirdi Sai Baba and Akkalkot Maharaj also were tested by very beautiful dancing ladies. Shankara was also tested by Ubhaya Bharathi (wife of Mandana Mishra and she is the incarnation of Goddess Saraswati) in the pretext of compelling Him to acquire sex education. Shankara attained the same by entering the dead body of a king and through acts of sex with his Queens, He acquired the subject of Sex. Same Goddess Saraswati questioned Shankara about His purity for occupying the throne of omniscience (Sarvajna Peetham). Shankara replied that His mind was totally detached since He was forced by Her to learn that subject. He also told that His body was untouched by the Queens and the body of their husband was only involved in such acts of romance. Hence, the Nivrutti devotees are always tested by Dushpravrutti and they must be very careful about such tests of God.
- One can stand firm in the Nivrutti only when such devotee is detached from the worldly desires. Such detachment from worldly desires comes only from the strong and real desire to God. Mind is always having the inherent nature of attachment to something and can’t remain detached from everything for a long time. Hence, detachment from everything is totally impossible. The detachment from worldly bonds indirectly must speak about the attachment to God only. Though Nivrutti means detachment, it means indirectly the attachment only. Detachment from worldly bonds and attachment to God are referred here. It is not both attachment and detachment related to a single object only. Attachment to worldly desires leads the soul to the sins and undergo the punishments. Not only this, attachment to worldly desires spoils the devotion to God. If the attachment to God runs along with the detachment from every worldly desire, such attachment to God is really real. Krishna spoke about the attachment to God and subsequent incarnation, Buddha, spoke about the detachment from the worldly desires, which makes the devotion to God pure and flavoured with sweet scent. Attachment to God with worldly desires is a bad scent giving bad odour. The entire merit of Buddhism is concentrated on this very basic point, which is the detachment from worldly desires that makes the devotee not to ask any worldly boon from the God. Even a hill of devotion is unreal if the worldly boons are aspired from God. Even an atom of devotion to God is real if there is no aspiration for any worldly fruit in return.
- Buddhism is misunderstood as atheism. This is the most meaningless aspect of spiritual knowledge. Buddha kept silent about God and never declared that God is non- existent. Since God is beyond space and time, He is totally unimaginable for any brain. This is the meaning of His silence. The Veda also says clearly that God is beyond any imagination and is best represented by silence (yato vāco…). What the Veda told is said by Buddha. Buddha said that the Vedas were written by souls, which are the sages. God spoke the Vedas to sages and sages told the same Vedas to the humanity. When God told the Vedas to sages, you can say that God is the speaker of the Vedas. When sages told the Vedas to humanity you can say that sages are speakers of the Vedas. The Gita is told by God or Bhagavan and hence, it is called as the Bhagavat Gita, which means that God spoke the Gita to Krishna. Krishna spoke the same Gita to Arjuna. Both the invisible God and visible Krishna are one and the same since God pervaded all over Krishna. Similarly, God and sages. Hence, there is no contradiction between Buddhism and Hinduism since Buddha is one of the ten incarnations of God Vishnu.
