Vaastavik Tattva ka Anubhav




||  Shri Hari  ||
Realization of the Innate Essence (Divinity)
(Vaastavik Tattva ka Anubhav)


Just as when the body changes, we do not see it as ourselves changing. From childhood to now, the body has changed to such a great extent, but we say that we are the same one, as in childhood.The body has changed,the place has changed, time has changed,things have changed, friends have changed, situations and circumstances have changed, state/condition has changed, activities have changed,but even on everything having changed, we (self) has not changed. Changes are in the place, time etc, but there has been no change in the "self".In the same way, however much the world changes, God remains the same (as-is). Even though there can be differences in things, in individuals, and in actions, yet there is no difference in Essence (tattva).Our sight must remain on that divinity at all times. Just as some trader buys and sells coal, but his sight always remains on the money / profits, that so much money has come ! The things bought and sold keep changing, but the money remains the same.In the same way,while relating with the world in every aspect,let our sight always remain on God.

It is a principle that - those things which are not in the beginning and in the end, are also not there at present and those things which are there in the beginning and the end, are also there at present. The world was not there in the beginning and will not be there later on, therefore the world is non-existent (temporary). God was there at first and will remain at the end, therefore there is only God. Those who see the world as real (in the form of truth) they say, that there is no God.And those who see God as real,say that there is no world at all ! The is-ness (existent element) that is seen in the world, is a glimpse of God only. Just as we see a snake in a rope, then in fact, there is "is-ness" (existent element) in the rope,not in the snake, but the is-ness of the rope is seen as a snake.In the same way "is-ness" is in God, not in the world. But the "is" ness of God,is seen in the world in the form of the world. Just as chick pea flour is bland, but when you put sugar in it, then the "boondi" (a sweet dish) made with it, tastes sweet.That sweetness is in fact of the sugar only, not of of the chickpea flour. In the same way, the is-ness that is seen in the world, it is not the world's, rather it is God's only. If seen from the perspective of "Bhakti yog" (path of devotion), then the entire world is a form of the Lord only ! God says - Matah paratam naanyatkinchidasti (Gita 7/7) "There is no one else besides Me in this world, not in the least bit (both the cause and the act of doing). Vasudevah Sarvam (Gita 7/19) God is everything.  

"Sadsacchaham (Gita 9/19) I am both real and unreal.  
Manasa vachasa drshtvaa gruhyatenyairpeeindriyaih |Ahameva na mattonyaditi budhyadhvamanjasaa || (Srimad Bhagwat 11/13/24) Through the mind, speech, and other senses, whatever is perceived, all that is Me and beyond Me there is nothing else – you should quickly understand i.e. accept this doctrine.
