O Learned and Devoted Servants of God,

1. Why do human beings feel and talk like immortals?

[A question by Shri Ramnath]

Swami Replied:- Every human being is a composite of three bodies, which are the outermost gross body and the pair of innermost subtle and causal bodies. The innermost subtle and causal bodies can never be separated. The causal body is like gold and the subtle body is like its ornament. The ornament cannot exist without gold, but the gold can exist without ornament. In a realized soul, the subtle body, which is a bundle of qualities, subsides and only the causal body or the soul is leftover. In every ordinary human being, only the subtle body exists, which means that the subtle body exists along with its causal body. Thus, in every ordinary human being both the integrated subtle and causal bodies co-exist so that we should use the word Jiivatman. Jiiva is the subtle body and Atman is the causal body. In the case of any ordinary human being, the Jiivatman exists covered by the gross body like the golden ornament in a box. In the case of a realized or liberated soul, only Atman exists in the gross body like a lump of gold in a box. In any case, the gross body is mortal because it is a form of matter bound in a regular shape characterized by high entropy. Entropy is a scientific word, which means irregularity, or freedom, which is spontaneous in the nature. The five elements are forced in a regular form of gross body and in every minute, these five elements are trying to separate and go into free state or randomness. Thus, the gross body is mortal, which everybody knows under the name death. The innermost Jiivatman is the immortal as long as the ignorance of the soul (Avidya) continues. The qualities are vibrations of the soul and the soul is pure awareness (Chit).

These qualities continue as long as the realization of original nature of the soul does not take place. Once the human being realizes that ‘he or she’ is that undisturbed pure awareness (soul), the vibrations or waves subside and thus, the qualities disappear. Thus, the gross body is immortal up to the death and the subtle body is immortal up to the self-realization. The self is subjected to the blind ignorance, which leads to the superimposition of the self (soul) on the subtle body and gross body. The pure awareness, in fact, is really temporary and disappears in the deep sleep and arises on awakening. But the awareness or the soul is essentially the inert energy in its basic form, which is eternal and will never be destroyed. Even in Maha Pralaya, this basic inert energy remains preserving the design of the world like the information chip of any electronic instrument. Of course, God created this basic inert energy also and it is the first created item. It can disappear if the God wishes so. But God will never destroy this basic energy containing the design of the world like a film of the cinema or a CD of an electronic instrument. In this sense the basic inert energy is immortal. This is the source of awareness and awareness is the source of all qualities and feelings including “I”. Thus, the gross body, the subtle body and the awareness are not immortal. But the essential basic energy form of this awareness is immortal, which is referred in the feeling of immortal Atman or immortal Brahman. This basic immortal energy in the gross body is called as Atman. The same immortal energy in the entire universe is called as Brahman. Thus, there is only a quantitative difference between Atman and Brahman. In fact, the matter is also a form of this basic energy. All the forms like light, heat, sound etc., are also this basic energy.

Thus, Atman is in continuity with the external cosmos since the gross body is also its another form only. The immortality of this basic energy called as Atman or Brahman continues through the superimposition and thus, the gross body or the subtle body is also felt as immortal. Though the mortality of the gross body is seen in the death of other human beings; though the mortality of the subtle body is seen in the realization of scholars and though the mortality of awareness is realized before and after deep sleep, still all these three items (gross body, subtle body and awareness) are felt as immortal due to the superimposition of the immortality of the basic energetic form of the soul. If the superimposition is analyzed and is remembered continuously, the ignorance disappears in course of time. By knowing this concept once, the knowledge is attained but by remembering the concept continuously realization comes. The end of realization is determination. You must hear this self-realization and know it from Sadguru (Shravanam). Then you must constantly remember this concept repeatedly every day (Mananam). After sometime, the determination is obtained (Nididhyasa). The identification of the determination is your practical behavior in the life (karma). This self-realization cuts all your worldly bonds and relieves you from the stress. Starting from hearing, till the determination the constant guidance of Sadguru is required. Otherwise, it may even mislead you into wrong direction as in the case of treating your illness by yourself studying the pamphlets of medicines without the authorized physician. This self-realization established by Shankara in fixing yourself to the basic immortal energy is called as self-realization and becoming yourself that immortal energy and this is called as Advaita. This can be retained continuously only by the grace of the God in the human form guiding you called as Sadguru. Shankara stressed on the importance of the grace of God in this path (Ishwaraanugrahadeva). The Lord is different from yourself whose grace is required to succeed in this path. If you are that God, does it mean that Shankara told that you should have grace on yourself?

2. What is the inner meaning of the word "Karma"?

Swami Replied:- The Gita says that the meaning of the word karma has very deep sense (Gahanaa Karmano Gatih). This world is called as creation. Creation means work like explanation etc. Karma means work. Therefore, this world is a form of work only. Work is a form of energy. Energy is dynamism or action or work. Matter is energy. Heat, sound etc., are forms of energy. Therefore, the world, which consists of space, matter, light, heat, awareness etc., is essentially energy or work only. Space is a form of energy. Awareness is also a form of energy. Therefore, all this creation is work only. Work needs the worker. The worker is God. God is the creator and creation is His work. This entire world is said to be the dance (work) of Shiva. This entire world is just a game (work) of God. Therefore, you should realize that any part of this creation is work or dance or game of God. The working material (matter) is also a form of His work only. The forces in this creation are again His works only. Thus, you should realize that every part of His creation as the work of God and thus we should constantly remember God. When you see an object, the object is His work. The process of seeing is His work. The subject (yourself), who is also an object for others, is also work of God. If you analyse yourself, you can realize that you are entirely His work only. The matter of your body, working forces like heat, circulation force of blood etc., are also His works. Awareness is His work.

The basic form of your awareness, which is energy, is also His work only. Knowledge is the work of intelligence. Devotion is the work of mind. Service is the work of your body. Sacrifice, which is a process of leaving something, is also a work. Therefore, whatever you understand is work and understanding itself is work. The word Karma is frequently repeated in the Gita. There is nothing like static condition. Even in a static stone, the molecules, atoms and subatomic particles are rotating, vibrating and spinning indicating essentially the work only. The Gita says that work should be found in static state (Akarmanichayah). The Gita also says that you should find no work in the work (karmanya karmayah pasyet). What does this mean? This means, you should not think that the work is the work of itself. You should find the worker who is doing the work. You should not think that the work is going on by itself. The work is done by somebody.

The earth is not rotating by itself. Then why is the fan also not rotating by itself? As the invisible current is rotating the fan, the invisible God is rotating the earth. The rotation of earth is work of God. The earth is also the work of God. The rotation of fan is work. The fan is matter. Matter is a form of energy. Energy is work. Therefore, the fan is also a form of work only. Thus, everything is dynamism (work) only. The dynamo is God. You will immediately say that the dynamo is matter, matter is energy and since work is energy, dynamo is also a form of work. Then you will say God is also a form of work. This is the problem with the simile for God. Every simile is only a part of the creation and cannot stand as a perfect representation of the creator. God is beyond the concepts of work and no work because God is unimaginable. You can infer the existence of God through this entire wonderful creation (work). But you cannot experience directly unless He enters a particular form of His work, which is a human body like Rama, Krishna etc. You can infer the engineer by seeing the wonderful building constructed by him, which is his work. But he is present only in a small room of that building. If you want to have a direct contact with him, you should search the room in which he is present. Since the whole building is his construction only, if you sit in some vacant room and try to talk with him, he will not speak to you. You have to identify that specific room in which he is present. In searching for the engineer, you may find some other person in some room and can mistake him also as the engineer. Therefore, you must have the knowledge of his identification.

The Gita praises karma as the path of pleasing the God. Knowledge by intelligence, love by mind and prayers by words are also forms of karma. But these three forms are negligible like offering drinking water to the guest. The practical service and sacrifice of fruit of work are important like offering the meals, which is the important two-fold karma. The cooking of meals is karma samnyasa and sacrifice of fruit of your work, which is meals is karmaphala tyaga. The fruit of this work is also the final form of your work only. Karma is energy and fruit of karma is matter. Energy and matter are inter-convertible forms. The karma samnyasa and karmaphala tyaga are one and the same and always go together. The word samnyasa indicates that sacrifice of work is mainly meant for saints who do not earn any fruit by work. The karma samnyasa and karmaphala tyaga together relate to the householder. This is a practical proof of the devotion. The reality of this concept is understood by referring to your service to your family. The karma becomes complete when the meal is also associated with drinking water. This is the path of karma in complete sense. Karma in the form of sacrifice of words, mind and intelligence as drinking water and the sacrifice of work as cooking and serving and sacrifice of fruit of work as meal is the five-fold path of karma to attain the divine grace.

3. When human beings face turbulence in life it is often said as "it is because of your karma of previous birth”. Please explain?

Swami Replied:- Now, you have understood the meaning of karma. A person did some bad deed (Paapa karma or vikarma). The person went to hell and was punished there. The punishment reduced the intensity of quality (guna or samskara), which is the cause of that deed. But the quality is not completely removed and a small trace of it remains. Punishment cannot remove the quality, which is a form of wrong knowledge. The wrong knowledge can be completely removed only by right knowledge and not by external physical punishment. Of course, the punishment reduces the intensity of wrong knowledge to a great extent. A thief can leave his quality of stealing only on realization obtained by the right knowledge. Any extent of torture cannot remove this quality completely. Therefore, even when the thief comes out of the police station, a trace of the quality of stealing remains. But if he meets a Sadguru and receives right knowledge, the quality can be removed completely. Valmiki, a robber, became a sage by the preaching of Narada but not by the third degree treatment in a police station. The samskara or quality is knowledge and can be destroyed by another type of knowledge only, as a diamond is cut by another diamond. Except the knowledge, no other physical works like chanting the name, doing worship, singing songs or any other physical exercise can remove the wrong knowledge, which is the cause of sins. Now, what is this wrong knowledge? Is it not karma? As I told you, the knowledge is also karma because any part of the creation is karma only. Quality or samskara is a process of feeling or thinking of awareness, which is karma only. But the karma of awareness can be removed by another karma of awareness only and not by the karma of matter or inert energy.

Beating and burning are the works done by inert matter and inert energy. They can affect the body and since the body is connected to mind, it can create fear and reduce the intensity of the wrong knowledge but cannot remove it from the root. Only the logical analysis of right knowledge can remove this samskara or quality from the root. When the quality is removed, its corresponding deed also disappears. Therefore, the right knowledge removes the cause of the karma and thus, burn the quality and its deed from the root (Jnanagnih Sarva karmani- Gita). When the sinner comes to the earth from the hell, he is with the trace of quality. Since the quality is also basically karma, the trace of quality is called as karma shesha (remains of karma). This trace of quality grows in a congenial atmosphere into a big tree and the deed is again repeated. The punishment of this deed may be in the hell or sometimes may be immediate. Sometimes the thief may be caught by the house owner on the spot and may be beaten immediately. Sometimes the thief may be caught in the police station and may be beaten there. Even if he escapes these two places, he will certainly be beaten in the hell.

Therefore, the deed of the previous birth punished in the hell comes down along with the soul as karma shesha (quality or samskara) which is responsible for the corresponding deed on this earth and which may yield its fruit here itself. In such case, his previous quality, called as previous karma, is certainly responsible for the misery here. Here you have to understand one point. The karma of the previous birth is not giving its result directly in this birth. The samskara, which was responsible to the karma of the previous birth continues into this birth as a trace, which grows in a congenial atmosphere and generates its corresponding karma once again, which may yield sometimes its fruit here itself. Thus, the karma of the present birth is only responsible directly for your misery here and the present karma has its root in the samskara of previous birth. This samskara can be called as karma and thus, in that sense it is said that the karma of the previous birth is responsible for the present misery.

4. Do stars really affect us i.e. normal human beings? Can the effects of bad star position in a horoscope be removed?

Swami Replied:- The stars or planets are the executives of the cycle of samskaras, karmas and their corresponding fruits, which are totally called as cycle of deeds (karma charka). They are the executives of the judgments given by the judge (Dharma Deva), who follows the constitution written by God. God never interferes with the executive function of His own commandments as said in the Gita (Nadatte kasyachit paapam). Shastras say that one has to undergo the results of his deeds even after millions of Yugas (Kalpa koti shatairapi). This does not mean that the postponement of simple principle takes place. The interest is accumulated by way of compounding. Therefore, scholars like to enjoy the results as early as possible. They never pray God to cancel the judgment, which is impossible. By prayers or certain rituals or by exhaustive crying before God, only postponement of the enjoyment of the results along with the interest takes place. Ignorant people misunderstand this postponement as canceling. Therefore, this fundamental aspect must be realized. When the priests do certain rituals by taking some dakshina from you, they are purchasing your punishment through your money.

Therefore, a real Vedic scholar will never do the business of a priest because he knows the whole concept. No real Vedic scholar accepts the dakshina and even food from anybody, which are called as aparigraha and vaishvadeva respectively. Sai Baba said that the breads offered by the householders were theirs sins only. Eating that bread is only enjoying the sin of others. Thus, you find in our ancient tradition when somebody offers meals in a function to others, others also offer the same in their functions. The priest is earning his livelihood by this way but is becoming more and more affected. The priests are thinking that they are cheating the public but they are cheating themselves by this way. It is better to do hard work and earn the livelihood than such business of transfer of sin for money. But if the whole ritual is transformed into a divine worship of God, the story is totally different. The grace of God comes there and the God may be pleased to reduce or remove the sin by enjoying it Himself through a human form. Here also the justice is not violated. The father pays the fine for his son. This is the only way of removing the sin. Either it should be postponed with interest or it should be sold to a priest or God Himself should enjoy it. In anyway, the result of the deed has to be enjoyed and it can never be cancelled without enjoyment. But if you conduct the ritual as a divine worship of God and give dakshina to a deserving devotee, then the story is different. The devotee does not enjoy your sin. God comes down in human form and enjoys your sin for the sake of that devotee. Even in this case, the results have to be enjoyed only. Instead of selling your sin to a priest, it is better to sell your sin to a devotee.

God has the tolerance to enjoy the sin of His devotee or the sin transferred to His devotee from you. But if you do the ritual by worshipping God and offering dakshina to the devotee, without the aim of removing your sins, the result is tremendous. It is a real sacrifice without any aim of business. God will undergo all your sins without any account since your sacrifice is also without any account. Therefore, you must remove this poisonous idea of removing your sins through rituals by offering dakshina to the priests or devotees. You must be prepared to undergo the results of your sins and do the rituals with the same sacrifice without aspiring any fruit. Then God will bless you.

You are trying to remove the problems but the problems are only your real friends in the spiritual line. The constant existence of problems will activate you and suppress your egoism creating a favorable atmosphere for the devotion to God. The happiness will make you proud and lazy and you will be deviated from the spiritual line. Therefore, scholars like to enjoy the problems, which are the guiding forces in the spiritual line. Kunti asked for existence of problems continuously as a boon from Krishna. The real tears will come in misery only while praying the God. This human life is obtained as rare chance after a long time of passing through several lives of animals. Thus, the animal nature is concentrated in us and the constant presence of beating stick is necessary for us to grow in the right spiritual path. Mere knowledge through words will not bring realization. From this point also, avoiding the enjoyment of punishments is also not correct for the spiritual progress. The realized soul invites difficulties for the sake of spiritual progress. An ignorant soul tries to avoid the difficulties and invites happiness by praying God. God brings back the results of good deeds arranged in the future life cycles with reduced value like a pre-matured deposit. By this, the future cycle becomes full of misery only. Sometimes we find people who are hit with misery from birth to death. These were the people who pressed God for happiness and their happiness of previous births was the fruits of good deeds drawn from the present life cycle. God arranges every human life with alternating fruits of good and bad deeds like meals with alternating sweet and hot dishes.

A liberated soul invites both happiness and misery in alternating way for full entertainment. The happiness derived from such entertainment is continuous and is called as Ananda. Nanda means happiness. The letter ‘A’ before Nanda means continuity (Aasamantaat). The word Sukham denotes happiness, which is always temporary. It disappears when misery appears. But Ananda is continuous happiness, if you can enjoy the misery also like a hot dish. A spiritual aspirant who aims at the grace of God wants to perform penance, which is a rigorous Saadhana. While doing penance you create difficulties artificially by litting the fire around you. This means spiritual aspirant wants continuous misery as the guiding force. The happiness and richness induce egoism and inertness, which are obstacles of spiritual Saadhana. You will wonder to hear the special worship performed by Me sometime back in which I uttered the Sankalpa, which states that I should get severe difficulties and poverty so that Jnana, Bhakti and Vairagya (spiritual knowledge, devotion and detachment) will improve in Me. Thus, if you are a realized soul, you will invite difficulties as your spiritual guru. If you are a liberated soul, you will invite both for entertainment. If you go to a picture, you like to see scenes of both happiness and misery. When you take meals, you like both sweet and hot dishes. Then, why are you not inviting both misery and happiness in your life for entertainment? The entire creation created by God for entertainment is a mixture of day & night, summer & winter, birth & death, happiness & misery etc. The equality in the entertainment of both is called as Yoga according to the Gita (samatvam yoga uchyate).

No doubt horoscope is the telescope for seeing the cycle of deeds. God has already arranged the happiness and misery in alternating way. The periods of nine planets rotate in a cycle. Each period has sub-periods of the nine planets again as a sub-cycle. This means that while eating a sweet dish a secondary hot dish is also introduced. The horoscope is a beautiful arrangement of your deeds in alternating way by the divine Father, who has immense affection on the souls. The total period of the nine planets is 120 years. For each Zodiac of birth (Janma raasi), there will be a continuous ascending period of sixty years and another continuous descending period of 60 years. One may be born in the beginning or in the middle or in the end part of ascending period or descending period depending upon his previous interference through rituals. Mesha, Karkataka, Simha, Vrischika, Dhanush and Meena zodiats have the beginning of ascending period of 60 years, which ends with the period of Jupiter. For other zodiats, the ascending period of 60 years starts with the period of Saturn for 60 years, which ends with the period of Venus.

Thus, one is born with an ascending period of 60 years or with a descending period of 60 years or at any point between these two periods. If a person is born in Mesha, starting with the period of Sun, the 60 years lifetime is ascending. If the same is born with the period of Saturn, the person will have a descending period of 60 years. A realized soul, dragged back the fruits of bad deeds from the present life cycle, will be born in the beginning of ascending periods. If the ignorant soul, dragged back the fruits of good deeds from the present cycle, will born in the beginning of descending period. If the whole life is with happiness or misery, the person will be bored. The reason for such boring is only the person himself who has interfered with the good arrangement of God. Therefore, Jesus said that let the will of God happen always. However, for ignorant souls also, the God made some compensation by introducing the sub-periods of all the nine planets in the main period of each planet. Thus, a secondary alternative arrangement of side dishes is done by the God-Mother because the children are ignorant of even the technology of eating!

Jyotisham (Astrology) is the subject, which relates to Jyoti or planet. The actual meaning of Jyoti is only God. According to the Veda (Param Jyotirupasampadyate) and the Brahma Sutras (refer the sutra of Jyotiradhikaranam), Jyoti means light. The planet is like the jailor guiding you to the jail where you will enjoy the misery or is like a guide who guides you to a bar like heaven where you will drink and sleep. The planet guides you to the fruit of your deed. It is called as Graha, which means that it will capture you wherever you are present to deliver the fruit of your deed to you at the exact fraction of second. It is a computerized system of deeds and fruits. This computer does all the calculations and is called as Chitra Gupta. Chitra Gupta means the protector of witness through the audio and video system. All your thoughts, words and deeds are recorded and will be exhibited as witness in the upper world. The judge does not require any type of other witness. There is no need of an advocate and therefore, such provision does not exist. You will just see and hear your thoughts, words and deeds in the audio and video system (Chitra Gupta) and an automatic judgment is delivered by another system called as Yama. There is no possibility of doing any ritual there since it is only a place of enjoyment of fruits (Bhoga Loka). All the heavenly pleasures and hell-punishments are given according to periods of another horoscope that is prepared based on the time of death. Thus, the wheel of the planets is the executive system of the soul in this world as well as in the upper world. Yama is the son of the Sun like Saturn, is also the controlling powerful planet in the upper world. The Lord is all in all and is the employer of the planets.

The planets function due to the fear about Lord. The Veda says the same (Bhishodeti Suryah). Astrologers are like the elementary school teachers and should become spiritual gurus like professors. The priests and the astrologers should rise in their standards and guide the people to the spiritual path. Instead of doing so, both have colluded and are doing business by exploiting the public. The astrologer takes some money for studying the horoscope and recommends the Japam of a planet. The priest does it and gives commission to the astrologers. It is like a doctor referring the patient to the laboratory for diagnosis for getting the commission. The whole spirit is lost and the spiritual path is lost long back in this Kali Yuga. The priests and the astrologers say a story that even Lord Shiva suffered due to Saturn. The story is only a creation for promoting the business. Even if you believe the story, you can take it in positive sense. You can understand that even the Lord respects the cycle of deeds. What sin Lord Shiva did to undergo the affect of Saturn? The story is foolish even at the root. Let us assume that even Lord Shiva has to suffer the affect of Saturn for a bad deed. If that is so, how can an ordinary human being escape the same type of effect with the help of this petty priest and petty astrologer? Astrology is elementary level of spiritual knowledge, which introduces the supernatural power that is beyond the science. This should finally lead to the existence of unimaginable God beyond logic and science. Astrology is not allowed to grow to become philosophy by these commercial intellectuals. Its growth is arrested and is limited so that the exploitation of devotees can take place. Astrology should be allowed to become philosophy. The school education should grow to become the university standard. The priests and astrologers should develop to become spiritual gurus. Otherwise they are doing sin in the name of God, which will affect them here and there.

The astrologers have developed a wrong concept in astrology by which the people think that they are receiving good or bad affects accidentally by the movement of planets without reference to their deeds. It is just like saying that one is arrested by police on a road because while he was standing on the road, the police incidentally came there and captured him. He is feeling that his arrest was due to the incidental meeting with the police on the road and the arrest happened without any reason. Similarly, people are thinking that the bad results are achieved by the incidental movement of the planets and their periods. This is complete nonsense. The planets are very disciplined and regular in their movements. Since you are proved as a thief and your arrest is ordered by the court, the police have arrested you with the exact background. You pose as if you are innocent and the arrest is simply incidental due to movement of police meeting you accidentally. You may escape the police for sometime even after the order from the court, but the planet catches you exactly in the same fraction of second as soon as the order from the divine court is released.

In fact, the results of deeds of any human being are mainly postponed to the upper world after the death. The results of all your deeds are not given in this world especially when you are in the human life, which is very rare. The main aim of this very rare human life is that you should recognize the God and obtain His grace before the end of this human life. This human life is mainly meant for such effort (Saadhana) and therefore, this world is called as Karma Loka. You will not be always disturbed with the enjoyment of fruits of your deeds in this world because the main purpose will not be served in this little precious time of human life. When the student is occupied in the studies in the period of preparation for examination, the principal will not disturb him either by punishments or by encouraging cultural activities. Once the examinations are over, there is a long vacation time in which these can be taken up. Similarly, there is lot of time after death and therefore, the fruits of the deeds are mainly given after the death in a separate world, called as Bhoga Loka. The earth is meant for the karma to be done to recognize the human form of the Lord and get guidance and practice it to please God. Therefore, a separate time and a separate world (hell & heaven) are meant for this purpose. People who do not know the main aim of human life and the significance of this karma loka are worried for not seeing the results here itself immediately. This is the main aim of creation of hell and heaven separately as the upper worlds. However, the results of some deeds are released here itself, in case, they can activate the soul in the spiritual line. With such an aim, certain effects of misery to divert the soul to the God and certain effects of happiness as alternative intervals for encouragement are released. Without understanding the significance of these effects, people either sleep and become lazy in happiness or get worried and feel tensions in misery. When such effects have no use on the spiritual line, the soul is released from the gross body and is pushed to Bhoga Loka and further cycles of animals and birds in a condemned state. Thus, the ultimate aim of human life and the ultimate aim of the good and bad results must be realized in the light of the spiritual divine path. This human life is not just for the mechanical deeds and corresponding results like a routine machine.

5. How can we always remain humble and devoted to You and ensuring not to forget You while performing our routine activity?

Swami Replied:- The word ‘You’ is very important in this question, which indicates God. The real nature of God is unimaginable and therefore, to remember the real form of God is impossible. You can remember God only when the God enters a medium. The formless nature of God is only the space-medium, which is charged by God. Thus, the formless aspect is also imaginable but creates lot of difficulty in thinking about God as said in the Gita (Avyaktahi Gatirduhkham). Even the awareness, which is charged by God, called as Brahman is also formless medium and is very difficult even to imagine. Therefore, a medium which has form charged by God is convenient to remember like a natural object as Sun etc., or like a photo, a statue etc. The space is all pervading but inert and cannot speak to you. The awareness is in limited bits as experienced in the living beings and is not all pervading. Thus, the all-pervading awareness is only an imaginary story. The statue or a photo is good for vision but not good for conversation to clear your doubts. You can keep the statue in your house and feel that God is living with you as a family member. But all these forms cannot speak, preach and clarify your doubts like Krishna. But Krishna lived in long back generation. The Gita preached by Him is interpreted in several ways and the followers of these lines of interpretations are constantly quarreling with each other. Thus, the real clarification is lost. Moreover, that past generation was blessed by Krishna and due to this, God becomes partial. The direct experience through direct dialogues is a real fortune. God is impartial and is coming down in human form in every generation. The entire public in the world need not have the chance of meeting the Lord in any generation. Only the ripened souls raised to the high level can have this chance because they really require it. In the university, the UG classes and PG classes are running. The highest PhD program is also present.

A Professor, some readers and many lecturers exist in the teaching faculty. The Professor is not required to go to any UG class. For a few hours, he goes to the PG class and spends most of the time with research scholars. There are many UG sections. There is one PG section. There are half a dozen research students. The Professor is available to all the students but is really required only for a few students. All the students are in his contact because the Professor addresses occasionally all the UG sections also. The lecturers are fully required to the UG sections. The Readers are more required for the PG sections and less required by the research scholars. The research students mostly require the Professor. Similarly, God in human form is in contact with all the souls in the generation. But He is utilized by a few only due to more requirement to that level. Depending on the requirement of language and area and the communication facilities, there may be more human incarnations of God in one generation like a few Professors are required for an institution. But if the communication facilities have improved and if all countries can understand a single language like English, there is no need of a second Professor. I feel in the present human generation in view of the developed communication skills and the uniform language, one human incarnation of God is sufficient at the highest level. The angels, who are at various levels like Readers and Lecturers always accompany Him. He always descends down along with the faculty of the department in every generation because the levels of the students cannot disappear even if the communication skills and universal language exist. Moreover, the analytical capacity of the public is improved a lot due to fantastic development of science. The science of today is nothing but the Tarka Shastra of ancient time.

Therefore, the knowledge that is going to be revealed by the God in the single human form in the present generation is going to be tremendous reflecting all the scriptures and science from all the angles like a Tsunami covering from all sides. On the basis of the analysis of these present facts, I am expecting the existence of such human incarnation in this world in our generation. I am searching for such divine human incarnation (Sadguru), whose knowledge will wash out all the misinterpretations of the scriptures of all the religions and kick out the exploitations resulting in the formation of the most ideal spiritual world as predicted by Nostradamus, who is famous astrologer of the world. I am referring to him because you like the astrology very much. I heard from Ajay that you are in good touch with Nadi Astrologers. Please find out from the Nadi Astrologer regarding such human incarnation so that I can also join all of you to serve Him as junior most servant. Therefore, the concept of human incarnation is the best and the constant interaction with Him is the best way of remembering Lord. The routine duties are natural and will go on without any effort when you have attained seniority in the profession. Thus, a senior man need not concentrate much on the routine duties, which will go in a normal way even without effort due to long experience. The Gita says that when such talent in profession by long experience is achieved, it is the time to meet the Lord (Yogah karmasu kaushalam). The effort in achieving the grace of Lord is the most important goal of the human life. This point will be realized when the human being is in the last minute of this life cycle because at that time of junction, the upper world starts appearing practically to the eyes through arrived messengers of Lord Yama. Unfortunately, there will be no time for the spiritual effort at that junction though realization comes. Lord Datta told Me the following two verses in Sanskrit and asked Me to memorise these two verses ten times per day so that mind will be fixed on God.

The first verse means ‘at the time of death, the last knowledge dawns to the mind by which the human being thinks that for whom he has spent his energy and the lifetime are unable to protect him from that moment onwards. The Lord, who can protect, is not arriving then because no time and energy were spent for Him’.

The second verse means ‘when the time was there, this realization did not come and when the realization came, there is no time. By this, the human being undergoes silent suffering, which is the agony’.

Lord Datta told that every human being would be given the last knowledge and the agony in the last couple of moments. I started remembering these verses every day for ten times and the result of the memory is this wonderful divine knowledge.

I know you are going to laugh and say ‘What Swami! You are Datta and speaking like this’. The point is that I am Datta for you and not to everybody. When this knowledge is published everybody reads this and rejects the entire knowledge based on this simple point. Whether I am Datta or not it is immaterial and the knowledge should be grasped by entire humanity. I am a messenger of Datta or the devotee of Datta or the direct disciple of Datta or the son of Datta or Datta Himself to different people, who view in different angles. Whatever I may be, this knowledge is from Lord Datta only. Based on this simple point, people should not refuse the treasure of this divine knowledge. Based on this simple point only, the priests punished Jesus and refused His precious divine knowledge. Now, everybody accepts that Jesus was the human incarnation of God because Jesus exists no more and is confined to a photo or a statue. Jesus told several people that He was a messenger of God. He told a few that He was Son of God. He told very few that He and His Father are one and the same. He did not say these three statements to one person or to all because most of the people are ignorant, a few are realized and very few are liberated souls. But, today, many accept that Jesus is the same divine Father, not because many ignorant people are liberated but because Jesus does not exist before the eyes; because Jesus will not compete with them for name and fame, to get the direct service etc. Krishna declared that He is the divine Father (Aham Bija Pradah Pitah). But the point is that the Gita was preached to only Arjuna, who was a liberated soul. Shankara declared that He was God (Brahman) to all the people because simultaneously He declared that everybody is God. But when He announced that He alone is Lord Shiva (Shivah Kevaloham), Kaapalikaas, who are the disciples of Kalabhairava, killed Shankara by black magic (Uchchatanam) because Kalabhairava was the disciple of Lord Shiva and thus, Lord Shiva was their absolute God.
