Shri Anil asked:
1. Have You converted Jesus into Hinduism by composing ‘Namavali’ on Him?
[Swami You ‘converted’ Jesus into ‘Hinduism’ by performing Yajna by composing ‘Namavali’ on Jesus. Kindly elaborate this incident.]
Swami replied:- When some devotee told Me that Christians are converting Hindus into Christianity, I told him in a light vein that I am converting Jesus Christ Himself into Hindu! I performed a sacrifice, which is the main Hindu ritual through which Jesus was worshipped as one of the divine forms of God. The Christians also must worship the Hindu divine forms of God through their Christian methods of worship. Then only, universal religion and universal spirituality can be perfectly understood, which is the ultimate truth.
2. Please give the essence of the following verse.
[Questions from Bible: Please give the essence of the following. “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it”. [1 Corinthians 10:13]]
Swami replied:- This means that the human being-component of the incarnation, which is called as medium, shall be taken care of by God in all circumstances.
3. Please give the essence of the following verse.
[If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you. [John 15:7]]
Swami replied:- The devotee remains in God means that God is very much impressed by the specific devotee. Such a devotee always leads his/her life as per the words of God that stay in the heart of the devotee. God will grant the wish of such a devotee.
4. Please give the essence of the following verse.
[When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, no one can discover anything about their future. [Ecclesiastes 7:14]]
Swami replied:- In bad times, one shall think that God has to hear the prayers of other devotees also and that he/she is not the only devotee to God. Therefore, the future cannot be predicted by any devoted soul.
5. Please give the essence of the following verse.
[I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. [1 Timothy 2:9-10]]
Swami replied:- This is a precaution given to women for maintaining themselves in a simple way so that men are not provoked to do any sin.
6. Please give the essence of the following verse.
[Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. [Matthew 26:41]]
Swami replied:- The spirit is made of energy and is very powerful. The medium is made of matter, which is condensed energy and hence, weak.
7. Please give the essence of the following verse.
[Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” [Matthew 4:4]]
Swami replied:- This means that eating food by which one can live in this world – is not the ultimate aim of the human life, which is a divine gift of God. The aim of the divine gift of living a human life is to fulfill the wishes of God expressed through divine scriptures.
8. Please give the essence of the following verse.
[Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. [John 14:12]]
Swami replied:- When the incarnation is merging with the first energetic incarnation or the first mediated God after completing Its mission on earth, He is advising His disciples to continue the propagation of spiritual knowledge and devotion in the world. The incarnation is encouraging the devotees that they can do even better than the incarnation.
9. Please give the essence of the following verse.
[But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate. [Mark 10:6-9]
Swami replied:- This is the general advice given by God to the souls living an ordinary worldly life. If the husband and wife maintain unity, the family will be very peaceful and happy so that the spiritual effort (Saadhana) of all the family members can continue successfully.
10. Please give the essence of the following verse.
[“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” [Revelation 1:8]]
Swami replied:- This means that God is the first to first and the last to last. This means that God is the creator of the first item of the creation and God is the last item that remains after destroying the last item of the creation. This means that God alone remains in the absence of the creation.
11. Please give the essence of the following verse.
[Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. [Luke 6:38]]
Swami replied:- This means that in whatever way you approach God, you will be given the fruit by God in the same way. If you serve God theoretically, only theoretical fruits are granted to you. If you serve God practically, God will benefit you practically. This means that you should not aspire practical fruits for your clever theoretical devotion.
12. Please give the essence of the following verse.
[Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets. [Amos 3:7]]
Swami replied:- Prophets are very close climax devotees of the incarnation of God and hence, God certainly reveals the program to the closest Prophets.
13. Please give the essence of the following verse.
[I establish My covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth. [Genesis 9:11]
Swami replied:- God is giving the two-side agreement because agreement itself is always two sided. Some damage happened to devotees due to their unjust deeds. Now, the agreement says that if the unjust deeds are not done, no damage will happen. Similarly, if the justified deeds are done, good fruits are granted. This is the minus, zero and plus agreement with God for any soul.
