To ask someone about their
spiritual experiences, their realizations and to tell them about yours – both these
are not very good things. Secondly, any speaker, will tell the very best points
from his own perspective, as every body wants to feel honored. He too cares about his reputation, therefore
why will he tell you some thing inferior?
How will he hide his experiences, and realizations?
It has come in the speeches
of saints, that one can test saints and ascetics through words - "Sadhu
pichaaniye shabd sunaataa."
One can come to know
the feelings and sentiments of ascetics, by what they say. If you
talk properly to any man, if you pay attention to what they are saying,
then you will get to know their inner feelings and sentiments, and how
they are? How highly developed they are?
From seeing Gita one
can tell about God's feelings and sentiments. On studying the Gita, it has come to
my understanding that God has placed great emphasis on two points - one
is to do spiritual practices until death (for the length of your life) and
secondly, be very careful (attentive) at the very last moment before death. The
amount that God has spoken about these two subjects, he has not spoken about
any other subject.
Questioner - How
to experience that Essence, Maharajji?
Swamiji -
First accept this point that everything is only Paramatma
(God); whether we see it or not; whether we understand it or not. It is the main principle of Gita
- "Vasudevah Sarvamiti sa Mahatma sudurlabhah" (Gita
7/19). In other words, the great soul who experiences that all is
only Paramatma (God) is a rarity. I have heard talks of such great and
elevated souls and read that when they explain a point to someone or give a
response to a question, then too in
their minds the thought does not arise that I know a lot, and the questioner is
ignorant and doesnt know. I am the one
revealing this to him. I am making him aware of this; he is learning and I am teaching him - great
souls do not have such feelings. Then
what feelings and sentiments do they have?
It is my Lord (Prabhu, God)
only who taking on His pervasive form is asking me. Whatever is Lord's views and philosophy, these
I am relaying. In this manner, I am
serving the Lord. God becomes ignorant
and then asks a question, to satisfy the desire and attachment that I have
within me to speak. God is only asking to
shower His grace on me. It is to get rid
of my attachment to speaking that Lord has created this circumstance. It is God's divine play only. Whatever form is seen of this
world, it is the Lord's form (swaroop). And whatever
efforts are taking place in the world,
they are all God's divine play (lila). It is God only out of
His kindness, carrying out His special divine play (lila). God has nothing to do with anyone, no motive
whatsoever. He has nothing He wishes to take from anyone, nor to learn from anyone. He is only doing this out of His mercy. Therefore it is His mercy and grace all
the way – this point we must all
accept. From the very beginning, if we accept and believe the realizations of the great souls, then these realizations will
begin to be perceived. (continued)
