O humanity! hear My song -- Be attentive to realize it (chorus)
Shankara asked Me to give way, – He treated Me as untouchable.
The concept of untouchable – in old tradition should be known.
The caste system is only based – on qualities and activities of souls.
Gita says so, otherwise three bodies – in all are one and the same.
But the compositions of qualities – vary governing the actions.
The nature of subtle body or Jeeva – varies from one to the other.
Based on this nature and consequent – actions only, difference is.
A Brahmana is he, who leads you – towards God from world through
Preaching spiritual knowledge, - He is God in human form, Satguru.
A person born in family of–Brahmanas is only called Brahma Bandhu.
It means that he is related to Brahmana, – and not actual Brahmana.
The present priest does not know – the meaning of Vedas at all,
He is only Brahma Bandhu and - not Brahmana as per Veda only.
Kshatriya is protector of justice, – Vyshya does business in right way,
Shudra serves the society, – no untouchable caste separately exists.
Any one with worst qualities and acts – is untouchable chandala.
Caste is not by birth, – respect is only by qualities and actions.
Ravana was born in family of Brahmana, – but a chandala by acts.
Ravana is not worshipped in temple, - Rama born as Kshatriya is
Worshipped in temples by priests, – this is real Hindu tradition.
Dayananda tried to revive truth, – He was killed by food poison.
All worst fellows were boycotted – from village by all good people.
Such punishment was only – just to reform them by force.
A teacher expels the student – from the class only to change him.
All the changed people were – again allowed back in to village.
Kannappa and Shabari were born – in untouchable families only.
They are worshipped in the photos – present in temples by priests.
Brahmana or chandala is not – by birth, but by qualities and acts.
Shankara asked Me to move away, – He was justified in that.
Shankara was top in Nivrutti, – does He not know basic pravrutti?
People misinterpret this incident – as if Shankara was ignorant.
The concept of this incident – is quite different, not understood.
Shankara decided Me as chandala – by My qualities and acts.
I was coming drinking wine – and speaking in foul language.
Based on My qualities and acts – He boycotted Me as usual.
He is justified by tradition of Pravrutti, – that is not wrong at all.
Because I am born to chandala, – He did not boycott Me.
Based on My qualities and acts, – He decided Me as chandala.
He does not know in which caste – I was born, that was not cause.
Then, why He fell on My feet, – accepting Me as rare Satguru?
He declared Me as real Satguru, – God in human form, Datta.
His selection was based – on the knowledge shining in My question.
He wanted to preach humanity – the method of selecting Satguru.
Satguru should be selected only – by the quality of knowledge.
He did not enquire others – about the quality of My knowledge.
He took self-decision since – His self was satisfied by My knowledge.
It means the final authority should be – your inner self and not others.
He demonstrated the selection of – contemporary human incarnation.
My gross body was ugly with all – bad habits without any bath,
My dress was very bad, My qualities – are worst by drinking wine,
This means that the external gross body – should not be criterion,
The dress should not decide, - the inner subtle body, made of
Qualities also is not criterion, - since God is above both bodies.
He did not select Me based on – My inner most pure awareness,
Which is present in Him also – and is in every living being here.
If the inner most soul or causal body – is the criterion for selection,
Then Shankara Himself is Satguru, - any living being is Satguru.
He should have selected Me as Satguru – even before My question
Because I am also having the same – pure awareness or soul or God.
He simply selected Me as Satguru – just based on the quality of
My knowledge that satisfied His inner self, – no other authority.
By this He preached humanity – regarding selection of Satguru.
Veda says that the special knowledge – or Prajnanam, which is
True and infinite, should be – the identity mark for Brahman or God.
He didn’t know that I am born- in the family of untouchables.
Today untouchable is decided by – his birth, not by qualities and acts.
In selection of Satguru, – caste by birth should not be criterion.
By the special spiritual knowledge – radiating through My question,
Shankara decided Me as Brahmana only, – and not as untouchable.
By qualities and acts, He decided Me – as untouchable at first sight.
Krishna is born as Yadava, - a backward caste by birth, He showed
Backward acts and qualities also, - really backward in Pravrutti.
Sages selected Him as Satguru – in the field of Nivrutti.
This means that God selects – any medium to appear here.
You should not be mislead by – the acts and qualities of medium.
This is a point of Nivrutti only, – but in Pravrutti, medium is basis.
Qualities and acts decide Pravrutti – special knowledge decides Nivrutti.
You should not confuse both – and get misled by confusion.
Shankara asking Me to get away – pleased Me since He was right
In the field of Pravrutti, but – My knowledge shifted scene to Nivrutti.
His knowledge of Nivrutti was also – correct, He is omniscient or
Sarvajna, He has correct knowledge – of both Pravrutti and Nivrutti.
Without showing My spiritual knowledge – I did not fight with Him for
Asking Me to go away, because – Shankara was correct in Pravrutti.
After recognizing My knowledge also – Shankara did not fight with Me.
To go away because Shankara has – the full knowledge of Nivrutti.
The concepts of Pravrutti and Nivrutti – are quite opposite to each other.
They are like South and North poles– Veda says this, don’t confuse both.
People misinterpret this incident – stating that even Shankara became
Ignorant even in Pravrutti – by traditionally following the caste by birth.
Shankara rejected Me not by birth,– but by My quality and act observed.
People say that He realized– His fundamental mistake of social behavior,
But all that is only their ignorance – due to lack of critical analysis.
Feeling is awareness associated - with kinetic energy, existing in you,
Action is matter of gross body – associated with kinetic energy.
Feeling limited to you is Mithya, – a relative reality for awareness.
In your imaginary world feeling – and action are one and the same.
But if your feeling turns to action, - the external world gets affected.
If you feel to kill somebody and kill him – in your imaginary world,
The feeling and action being same, - it does not effect the world.
But if you feel and kill somebody – in the world, world is affected.
You are not punished for your crime – done in your imaginary world.
But you are punished here and – in the upper world, the hell, also
For killing somebody in the world, - the reason for this difference is
That you are imaginary world and – the external world are not one.
For God only this external world is – His imaginary world and hence,
If He kills somebody in this world – He has no punishment since for Him
This external world is like your – imaginary world, His feeling and action
Are one and the same always, -Veda says that God is action less always.
Similarly, soul is always action less – in its imaginary world and dream.
Soul and God are similar, dream and – world are also similar pair.
By similarity, you are taking both as – one and same and get confused.
The habit of my drinking is a quality, - but drinking is an action that
Effects the external world and hence – it is objectionable to others.
Therefore, Shankara objected Me, - treating Me as ordinary person.
Energy associated with matter – cannot be treated as Mithya,
The bond energy between mud particles – is not unreal for you.
The cause for the shape of the pot – is this bond energy in pot.
Mud and bond energy are causes – for the pot and not mud alone.
Even ancient logic recognized bond – called as Sambandha, an entity.
The mud cannot bring water – due to absence of bond energy.
Since bonds do not exist in mud – responsible for the shape,
You cannot bring water with mud, - the shape of pot is Mithya
With respect to bond energy and – not with respect to mud.
When the pot is broken – the bond energy mixes with cosmos,
Mud is with you and hence – you have lost bond energy from you.
In imaginary world when pot is – broken, the bond energy is in you,
There is no loss, but there is loss – for breakage of pot in world.
When the pot is broken – Krishna did not worry because He is God,
The bond energy is in Him – there is no loss for Him, but when
You weep, weep for the loss of – the bond energy in to cosmos.
Do not weep for the shape of pot, - it is Mithya before bond energy.
The shape is totally unreal, - the beauty of girl attracts you,
Which is totally unreal with respect – to the bond energy of her
Body, which is matter, if she dies, – realized soul will not worry,
Because the matter and bond energy – are eternal in this world.
Both merge with cosmos here, - only the unreal form is lost.
Reality is never destroyed because – the reality exists always,
Unreality is also never destroyed since – the unreality never exists.
Gita says that truth always exists – and unreality never exists.
You can become unaffected by this – true spiritual knowledge.
But Pravrutti is based on ignorance – you can console others by this
True spiritual knowledge on such occasions, - but if you kill a girl and
Console her parents by this knowledge, - you will be punished for that.
Effect of action can be consoled – but cause of action is enquired.
Punishment should be also unreal – for you, applying your knowledge!
Spiritual knowledge should not be – the basis for doing sins here.
Pravrutti consists of souls with – ignorance of spiritual knowledge.
Nivrutti should come by – realization of knowledge and not by force.
Nivrutti is always a limited field, – diamonds are always very few.
Ordinary soul cannot imitate God – or the top range devotees.
Nivrutti is the field of God, – for Him there is no action at all
Because all actions in world are – His feelings only, He alone is
Beyond the concept of sin – and its punishments and He alone can
Save His devotees from sin, - concepts of Pravrutti get reversed here,
That too to test devotee – in giving highest place for God.
Cause of action is quite different – effect is not enquired because
The field is related to God – for whom there is no real action.
The devotee is also not effected – since the context is Nivrutti.
This should not be extended to – Pravrutti of ordinary souls.
Treating Me as ordinary soul – for the sake of ordinary souls,
Shankara objected My habit – of drinking and My foul words.
Blindness is basis and justice is top – in Pravrutti, you have to come up.
Justice is basis and blindness is top – in Nivrutti, you have to come up.
In Pravrutti you leave blindness - of your worldly bonds and
You should follow justice that – keeps balance and peace of society.
In Nivrutti you leave even – the social justice for the sake of
God and be blind in your faith to Him – with total surrender to Him.
Rama left Sita for the sake of society – to protect social justice.
This is Pravrutti for which He came to – preach humanity by practice.
Same Rama was telling Ravana that – He will withdraw from the war,
If Sita is returned back to Him, – this is Nivrutti to test Hanuman’s faith.
If Sita is returned, Ravana is safe – to torture society further, it means
Rama gives importance to His wife – than the protection of society.
The concept is reversed in Nivrutti – to test the firm faith of Hanuman.
Hanuman should think that for Rama – His wife is more important than
The balance and peace of society, - but Hanuman did not think so.
After selecting Satguru, you must be blind – to serve Him with full faith.
Satguru is God and peace of society is – His responsibility, who are you?
You are a part of society and even – your protection is in His hand only.
Analysis must be done before – selecting Satguru, don’t be cheated by
Fraud preachers, but after selection – you should be above justice also.
Arjuna killed even his grand father – on the order of Krishna, Satguru.
Be analytical in selecting the girl, – have blind faith after marriage.
Today it is reversed, – you select girl for marriage by blind emotion.
Then you start analyzing her, - selection of Satguru is also Pravrutti,
Nivrutti starts only after selecting – Satguru, Pravrutti gets reversed.
It is the duty of Brahmana priest to – give knowledge of both
Pravrutti and Nivrutti to society, – Government should encourage him.
Due to lack of encouragement, – he stooped down to very low level
To earn livelihood just by recitation–of Veda in rituals without preaching.
Recitation without preaching – is waste, priest became tape recorder.
Today rituals are done by using – tape recorders without the priest.
Yes, people are justified because – no difference between both.
If the priest preaches knowledge – of Veda and clarify their doubts,
Tape recorder cannot replace priest, – the priest becomes real Satguru.
People will honor him with lot of offerings – spontaneously, no asking.
The priest is fixing a rate today, – people pay that without any honor.
It is better to do some other work – than earning like this in cheap way.
No priest is happy since he is poor, - searching for livelihood every day.
If God is gracious to the priest, – the priest should have lived like king.
Since the priest is not doing ritual – as the work of God’s mission,
God is not blessing the priest, - in fact, God is furious with the priest.
The priest should not ask money, - should accept anything given.
Even if some one does not give, – the priest should do his divine duty.
If the priest does his duty properly – by preaching divine knowledge
During conducting the rituals, – God is pleased with the priest.
Then, God will protect the priest – in all the ways in his life.
God will give him million times – than what he earns today like this.
The priest should either learn Sanskrit – to preach meaning of Veda,
Or should read Vedic hymns – translated into the mother tongue.
Language is only a vehicle – to carry on the proper meaning.
God knows all the languages, – God is particular of the meaning only.
Meaning is knowledge; it leads to – devotion that leads to practice.
The practical life of all the people – gets transformed through rituals.
The society will be peaceful and balanced – by preaching Pravrutti.
A few blessed souls attain God – by preaching Nivrutti to them.
The God need not incarnate on earth, – if the priest does his duty.
The Brahmana priest is called as – Bhudeva, God for the earth,
Because the work of God on earth – is accomplished by him.
Money, honor and what not – is available by God’s grace?
The priest should learn all Shastras – to understand actual meaning
Underlying in Vedas, Veda is word of God, – God is greatest scholar.
Without knowledge of Shastras, – even the speech of a human scholar
Cannot be grasped, not to speak about –speech of God, the Veda.
Even the language is not known, - what about the inner meaning
To be known with the help of Shastras – regarding Vedas?
Due to this nothing is known, – only blind practice of tradition
That came in several twisted ways – due to foolish misinterpretations.
For example, Agni means fire, - but Agni in Veda stands for Satguru.
The first hymn of Veda says that – Agni means the very priest.
Agni stands for three forms, – Laukika for physical fire in sticks,
Vaidyuta for electrical energy, - and Devata for the divine form,
Which is called as Vaishvanara, – that represents hunger in stomach
As per Gita, now Laukika is used – for cooking the food with ghee.
The word ghee stands for this food – cooked with associated ghee.
Lakshna of Tarka shastra should be known – to understand this.
When you call the seller of apples, – you cry “O Apples!”, this means
That you are calling the apples – associated with seller along apples.
Similarly, the word ghee means – the food cooked along with ghee.
Doctor says, “Avoid oil”, does that mean – that you should not drink
The oil? It means that you should not – take food cooked with oil.
Veda says that you should give ghee – to Agni, this means that
You should give food cooked with ghee – to Satguru first, so that
He becomes energetic to preach – the spiritual knowledge well.
The word Agni comes from Agri, - it means first, it means that
The Satguru should be served first, – this is the inner meaning.
The ignorant priest does not know – all this and blindly pours down
The ghee straightly in the physical fire – that is burning the sticks!
Ghee is energetic food created by God – to give energy to people.
See the result of ignorance – food is wealth, oil comes from grains.
It is a form of Dhanya Lakshmi – burnt, she becomes furious and
The priests suffer with poverty, – as you see the same today.
The priest says that ghee poured – in the physical fire gives rain!
In fact, it liberates carbon dioxide – that stops rain by pollution.
You collect the smoke of Yajna, - if you test it, reality comes out.
The smoke is not having super power – God is not doing miracle.
God will not use super power – to support what ever you say.
He does miracles only on His wish, – not by your direction.
Kapila says in Bhagavatam that – that only fools burn ghee in fire.
Krishna stopped Yajna to Indra, - He ate food from Yajna before
Burning it in the fire, as said in – Bhagavatam, God preached that
Feeding hungry person is Yajna, - not burning food in fire.
Another example of the consequence – of ignorance of priest is
Leaving lot of food while eating – in the rituals after death of soul.
The priest reads Veda with loud voice, – which states that the food
Should not be left after eating, - if it is thrown into drainage, virus
Develops on it harming even good people, - one has to share the sin.
Veda also says that food left after eating–should not be eaten by others.
Therefore, it has to be thrown away, - throwing food is horrible sin.
The priest says that he should leave food – to indicate his satisfaction.
He says that the departed soul is on him – according to the invitation.
Departed soul is eating, the priest says, - if food is left over, it shows
The satisfaction of the soul, all this is – the poetry of the priest only.
The departed soul in hell – suffers without food in punishments,
The soul reaching moon or Pitruloka – lives on the essence of moon.
The soul in heaven has no hunger, - soul in the abode of God
Does not require any thing – by the grace of omnipotent God.
Soul is energy; it requires supply of – direct energy only, not food.
Food is sacrificed to deserving devotee, – so that such donation
Pleases God and departed soul is – protected by the grace of God.
Sacrifice of fruit of work to – a deserving devotee is the essence.
Tradition created fear by saying – that departed soul takes food.
By such fear at least even greedy – ignorant also do sacrifice.
A lie doing good is not a sin, - it is Arthavada, lie for good purpose.
Ritual must be done, but its – main essence should be understood.
The deservingness of the priest – is the most important factor here.
If undeserving fellow is fed, - it is a sin, the soul is more affected.
If you feed Satguru, the soul – will reach permanent abode of God.
Vishnudatta fed Lord Datta in ritual, – all his ancestors were saved.
By throwing food, the ignorant priest – is committing a great sin.
He is not following the instruction – given by God through Veda.
Food is straightly Dhanya Lakshmi, – she is furious with the priest.
The priest suffers with poverty, – daily searching for food as beggar.
Before the priest takes food, – he is requested to leave the items,
Which are not liked by him – even before eating so that left food
Before eating taken out separately – can be taken by others as food.
The priest is asked at the end of eating – “what shall be done with
The food left by you?”, this refers to – food taken out before eating.
Priests misinterpret that the question – refers to the food prepared
In the kitchen, it is meaningless, - the remaining food will be eaten
By others even without the - permission of the priest any how,
Since the food was prepared for all – no need of any permission.
The question refers only to food – taken out by priest before eating.
Lack of analysis is leading to – a great sin ruining the priest here.
Kashi means a place of spiritual knowledge, – Kasha means light,
Gita says that Sattvam is knowledge and – its effect is intensive light.
It was said that if one dies in Kashi, – he or she gets salvation there.
Kashi was a center of spiritual learning, – scholars were in this center.
If a person reaches Kashi, he or she – gets this spiritualism here.
Knowledge of God is first step, – it can be attained from scholars only.
Satsanga is association with scholars, – it is first step, Shankara said.
Knowledge or Jnana gives devotion, –you know details of Bombay,
It is knowledge of that city, - then you will get interest in that city.
This interest becomes intensive, - it is called as devotion or Bhakti.
Devotion is anxiety to see the city – or God, till now theoretical only.
Jnana uses intelligence and words, – devotion is with mind and words.
Narada told Rukmini about Krishna, – this is Jnana, she got interest
To marry Krishna and her anxiety – is devotion to reach Krishna.
Such devotion is the sacred Ganga river, - dip in Ganga is immersion
Of your self in the devotion of God, - both give you salvation.
Salvation is liberation of your mind – from the worldly bonds.
A more powerful bond to God – breaks all your bonds with world.
Detachment or Viragya from world – should come due to devotion.
Without devotion simple detachment – is waste and temporary only.
After tasting nectar, you leave coffee – spontaneously without effort.
No effort is needed for detachment, – without tasting nectar leaving
Coffee is temporary and waste, – a stone is detached from world
Without any devotion, no use, - Advaitins are devotees of self.
Their self is Nirgunam in deep sleep, - it is the basic inert energy.
If they retain awareness of it self, – it is only meditation, not deep sleep.
Such self-awareness also disappears – in deep sleep, it is not eternal.
Even the awareness is a work – done by inert energy in special way
By functioning in nervous system, - if you take awareness as
Inert energy even in awakening and – dream, then only it remains
Eternal in all the three states – because in deep sleep it is in its
Basic form or inert energy, - a man is static and dynamic also.
You call him as man only – in both the states, his dynamic dance
Should be taken as work and not – as a different man at all.
Here the man is inert energy, – dance is the awareness.
If you say that soul is eternal, – you must take it as inert energy.
If you take soul as awareness, - soul is not eternal, since it vanishes
In deep sleep, even if you confine soul – to self awareness only
As in the meditation, even then such state – vanishes in deep sleep.
Then, such self-awareness also – is not eternal, it is also limited work.
It is a limited style of dance, - if you concentrate on it, self-awareness,
You will be born as a tree in which – self-awareness only exists.
It is a primitive state of life or – Manomaya Kosha, undeveloped.
If you are concentrating on full dance – it is developed Manomaya.
Then you are born as birds and – animals having full mind.
A special dance is intelligence, – Vijnanamaya Kosha, human being.
If you concentrate on awareness – with that special dynamism also,
You will be born as a human being, - yourself as existing now.
By all your efforts you become yourself, – the efforts are useless!
If you concentrate on eternal soul, - the basic inert energy,
You will be born as inert energy – as a part of sunlight etc.,
Since inert matter like a stone - is a form of inert energy only,
You may be born as a stone, – a de-promotion from your present.
Stone, tree, bird or animal – are lower states than your self.
Human being is your present state – in which you exist already.
An effort must bring promotion, – your efforts either take you down
Or keep you in the present state, – what is the use of your effort?
As a stone you become eternal, - you exist till final dissolution.
If you concentrate on God – in human form, you will be born
As a super human being, – a liberated devotee or some times,
God may select you – to become human incarnation.
All this is spiritual promotion – the effort now is meaningful.
Death in Kashi gives salvation, - it should be properly understood.
In those days Kashi being the center – for spiritual scholars,
You may get Satguru like Shankara – in this place and you get
The right spiritual knowledge – leading to devotion, get salvation.
When you attain spiritual knowledge, – you have reached Kashi.
When you dip in devotion of God – you dipped yourself in Ganga.
But today Kashi is vacant place – without such spiritual scholars.
Can you get salvation in Kashi – by dip in this polluted river?
If we say that your doubt will be – cleared if you go to a college,
It means the teachers in college – will clarify your doubts there.
If you go to the college in midnight, - in the vacant buildings there
Your doubts are not cleared – by the whistling air there.
After Jnana and Bhakti, service – or seva or karma yoga comes.
It is the service rendered by you – to your Satguru, God in person.
Rukimini served Krishna by – pressing His feet as Maha Lakshmi.
Her devotion is for service and not – to become queen of Dvaraka.
Jnana and Bhakti should not be – to fulfill selfish desires from God.
In such case Jnana and Bhakti – are not real but false only.
Jnana and Bhakti, theoretical states, – are used for selfishness only.
It is veshya Bhakti or love of prostitute, – fulfills her selfish desire
Just through theoretical show – through prayers and love-feelings.
No practical sacrifice of work – or fruit of work in such devotion.
Even in vaishya Bhakti – the practical sacrifice exists, but
It is only investment for – getting more profit from God.
