[Rayy Light Asked: Dear Swami Ji, Peace and Blessings of God be upon You. I very much appreciate You for Your reply. While reading Your reply, I was wondering what are the commandments of the constitution written by God in which You referred to. My next question is, how can I believe that You are an incarnation of God or someone who has been sent by God?]
Swami Replied: The constitution of God is not printed as a book to be available in the shop. All ethical scriptures written by Sages are taken as the constitution of God because they have written while God dictated to them in their consciousness. You should not think that God appeared and dictated to them orally because God wanted to avoid the stress in writing with His hand! Even if somebody tells that God appeared to them and dictated orally, where is the audio video cassette? Therefore, the sharp logical analysis of this point reveals that the unimaginable God revealed the concepts of the constitution in the consciousness of sages. God speaks to any soul through its consciousness. When you are in a dilemma between justice and injustice, the voice of God is heard by you through your consciousness. Even though you are not God, God is always in contact with you through this direct phone of consciousness.
It is told that the consciousness is the authority (pramāṇamantaḥkaraṇa pravṛttayaḥ- Kālidāsa). But, one should not exploit this concept by saying that the consciousness of Ravana told him to stole Sita. It is true that God spoke in his consciousness not to steal Sita. Consciousness means the pure awareness or individual soul called Jiva or Shudhatma. But, the consciousness of every soul is polluted with so many bad thoughts of awareness, which are generated by the influence of Rajas and Tamas. These bad thoughts will pollute your self to such a maximum extent that you are unable to hear the voice of God just like you are unable to hear the mic announcement in railway station when it is fully crowded and highly noisy. Even if you hear it in very weak amplitude, the influence of these prominent bad thoughts will make you to reverse your conclusion so that you will think the voice of God as the influence of rajas and tamas and you will think the voice of rajas and tamas as voice of God. Coming to the main point, the ethical scriptures or the Vedas revealed in the consciousness of the sages based on very sharp logical analysis are said to be the dictations of the God to them. Even if you say that God directly dictated the Vedas to them, we will not object even this. But we say that these dictations of God must and will certainly stand to the fire test of analysis because God is certainly omniscient and none can find any fault in the dictation of God. If you force a statement to be the direct dictation of God and simultaneously support that the statement must be correct beyond the analysis, it is totally absurd, and we will analyse the statement with double attention and agree your statement if the statement stands in the fire test of analysis.
Based on this background, if My statement in My spiritual knowledge stands the fire test of analysis, you shall be impartial to say that such statement from My mouth is from the mouth of God. I only say that if X=Y, then Y=X. This means if God’s statement is always highly logical and true (X=Y), what is the wrong in saying that any true and logical statement is told by God (Y=X). Therefore, i) Either you shall not believe in God, X and Y or ii) if you believe in God, X and Y, you must believe that Y=X if you have already stated that X=Y. If you say that omniscient God will always speak truth that stands in any fire test of logic, the reverse of it must be also true, which means that any true statement standing any fire test of logic spoken by any soul must be also from the mouth of God only. Since the audio video cassette for your statement is not produced by you, We also need not produce the same cassette for our statement also. The minute you submit your cassette, We will submit our cassette in the next minute. If you submit your cassette and say that even though your illogical statement is authority based on your cassette, you shall agree to the statement that any illogical statement from anybody shall be the authority provided its corresponding cassette is produced. Now there is no quarrel between you and Me.
