Śrī Rādhā Devī uvāca:-
[Shri Radha Devi spoke:-]
[O God Krishna! In all these three worlds (upper, middle and lower), there is no divine preacher other than Yourself. Please tell the essence of union with God along with the precautions to be taken by the spiritual aspirants to support such effort for union with God.]
[O My darling! Due to the ignorance imposed on me for the sake of my role in this divine drama aimed for the welfare of the world, please excuse me for whatever I have spoken against You so far. Hereafter, I will not commit even a small slip in Your case. I am promising about this on You, the Parabrahman.]
Śrī Kṛṣṇa Bhagavān uvāca:-
[God Shri Krishna spoke:-]
[You are acting as an ignorant devotee as per your role only. You are not to be mentioned in the category of devotees as the basic actress. You are the incarnation of Goddess Anaghā called Goddess Rādhā. I am also acting in the role of the Divine Preacher called God Krishna. We both are carrying on the duties assigned to both of us by Parabrahman or Unimaginable God.]
[I have told this point to you at least one hundred times so far. But, you have forgotten this point every time, even though I am reminding you again and again. You have forgotten this because you have to live in the role of a devotee in this divine play set by Parabrahman. Always remember that you are not essentially different from Me.]
[I will explain the precautions related to the spiritual knowledge completely as asked by you. The first and foremost precaution is that one has to protect one’s own physical health of the body by putting all efforts.]
[One shall always eat immediately after cooking while it is hot. If the food is not cooked, it will be contaminated with bacteria present in the atmosphere, which enter the raw uncooked food at ordinary room temperature. If one eats the cooked food at room temperature, the good taste of the food disappears due to contamination with bacteria. If one eats such food, which is not hot, such person will be affected by the lowest worst quality called Tamas that is famous for ignorance, laziness and worldly fascinations.]
[One shall always take the food in limited quantity as far as possible. If the food is eaten in limited quantity, it is eaten by you. If the food is eaten in excess, the food will eat you through the various diseases caused by over-eating and this is told in the Veda (Adyate 'tti ca bhūtāni, Tasmādannaṃ pracakṣate). If the physical body is having more weight, the body will become an asylum for all diseases. The excess weight of the body causes diabetes, which by itself is not a disease, but the root cause of all diseases.]
[You have to select the type of food that is suitable to your health and avoid the type of food that increases the specific type of illness that attacks you frequently. Such types of positive and negative food can be selected by you with the help of medical science. You have to select the food by its quality based on your illness and you have to select the food by its quantity based on the weight of your body. If the body is heavy, the food must be taken in less quantity and if the body is weak, the food must be taken in moderate quantity containing essential nutrients.]
[Therefore, the food must be cooked, must be eaten little, must be promoter of health and must be eaten while it is hot. The food we take must contain all these four qualities. Some fools say “Whether we eat or don’t eat the food liked by us, the death is anyhow inevitable. In such case, let us eat what we like and die. Why to control the intake of food qualitatively and quantitatively?”.]
[Such fools think that the life is only for enjoyment. For them, the life is not meant for putting efforts to attain the grace of God. The health of the body increases the longevity and the longevity helps us to attain the grace of God through more practical service along with practical sacrifice for God.]
[Some other fools say “We do not know when we will die. Even if we maintain good health by taking care about all these aspects, there is no guarantee that we will attain longevity since accidental death is possible at any time. Hence, let us enjoy fully without any control as long as we live”. My answer here is that a true devotee will always be helped by God in getting good longevity so that he/she can continue the efforts to please God and attain His grace. Here, you may ask that Rāvaṇa met with untimely death and was not blessed by good longevity although he was a great devotee of God Shiva. The answer to this is that Rāvaṇa was certainly a good devotee of God Shiva, but he was a horrible sinner also simultaneously. Hence, a true practical devotee not doing any sin will attain the grace of God.]
[Practical service with practical sacrifice to God without any aspiration in return from God is called the goal devotion (love to God only without aspiring any benefit from God), which pleases God. A false devotee, who is worshipping God for the welfare and prosperity of his/her worldly bonds, cannot expect this boon of good longevity from God because such instrumental devotion (love to God to attain some benefit from God) cannot please God to attain His grace.]
[Sages like Caraka created medical science through which the health is developed. They did not call this as the scripture of health (Ārogyaveda). They called this as the scripture of longevity (Āyurveda). Their aim is to develop health through which longevity can be increased so that the devoted human being can put more efforts to attain the grace of God through more practical service with practical sacrifice to God. These Sages were also meditating upon God to get His grace and hence, they gave importance to longevity through health so that more spiritual efforts can be put by the devotees.]
[Two legs, stomach, chest, two hands, neck and head are said to be the eight parts or limbs of the body (Aṣṭāṅga). Frequent movements of these eight parts of the body whenever possible is a good exercise for any human being.]
[Walking is said to be the best exercise and this is correct only when the body is not heavy. But, in the case of people having heavy bodies, walking will destroy the knee joints since the heavy weight of the body falls on the knees while walking. Hence, people having more weight of the body shall avoid walking as far as possible and replace walking with the above said “aṣṭāṅgacālanam” (frequent movement of eight parts of the body as exercise) while sitting on the chair or lying on the bed.]
[After generating children, people following spiritual path must essentially control sexual activity that is related to lust. From the reproductive tissue called sperm or ovum (Śukram), the life energy is generated, which is called as ‘Ojas’, which is helpful in putting strong efforts to reach and unite with God. When such Ojas is wasted in sexual activity, the body becomes weak to put spiritual efforts.]
[Ojas is also necessary for materialistic efforts to earn the livelihood in Pravrutti (Justified Worldly life), which is the basis for Nivrutti (Spiritual life). Hence, controlling lust is essential for both males and females to succeed in Pravrutti and Nivrutti.]
[The person, who controls the wavering fascinations of both the tongue and sexual organ will attain good longevity and sufficient energy for putting spiritual efforts along with materialistic efforts needed for livelihood to support one’s spiritual life. Such a person will attain the union with God in very short time.]
[As per the quality and quantity of food, the health of the body, the stature of the body and the intelligence are maintained. The quality and quantity of thinking also effects the physical health of the body. Based on the physical health, the mental health is also affected in reversible way. Therefore, the spiritual aspirants must be very alert about this link between mind and body.]
[If one thinks about this impure world, such dirty thoughts will transmit the diseases related to the fruits of one’s own previous bad deeds. If one thinks about the purest God, such divine thoughts will bring life with long longevity and infinite divine bliss.]
[November 18, 2025]
[The divine bliss is different from the worldly happiness. The worldly happiness and worldly sorrow are in the same worldly level, whereas the divine bliss is in the level of God. Both worldly happiness and worldly sorrow consume the life energy of any human being. The human being becomes weak after getting excited with worldly happiness or feeling depressed with worldly sorrow. Hence, both worldly happiness and worldly sorrow are to be rejected by the soul. But, both these happiness and sorrow are not to be rejected in the spiritual path of God.]
[Hanuman while involved in God’s service became very much affected by sorrow during the time of search for Sītā, the wife of God Rama. King Aja, the grandfather of God Rama, committed suicide when his wife called Indumati died. The difference between these two is that Hanuman was hit by sorrow in the service of God and not in the service of His personal worldly bond. King Aja was hit by sorrow in the fascination of his personal worldly bond. In fact, Hanuman even thought of committing suicide when Sītā was not found for a long time during His search for Sītā.]
[Blind fascination for the selfish worldly bonds (negative state) shall be destroyed and this is called as salvation. When the soul maintains equality among all the worldly bonds including the selfish worldly bonds (zero state), it is called as peace.]
[The climax fascination in the bond with God (positive state) is called as the closest association with God. Leaving the selfish worldly bonds is called as Tyāga. The closest association with God through climax fascination to God is called as Yoga. The achievement of both Tyāga and Yoga is called as true sainthood.]
[Only Tyāga (leaving selfish worldly bonds) is useless. First, one shall put all the efforts only for Yoga (achievement of climax fascination for God). If one attains Yoga, Tyāga will be spontaneous byproduct. The so-called false Avadhūta leaves all the worldly bonds and becomes inert like a stone. In such stone like person, there is no trace of love for God and only leaving of the world exists completely.]
[One shall not waste his/her energy and time in talking unnecessary worldly matters and in seeing unnecessary social movies. By doing these two things, one cannot achieve any useful result in either the materialistic life or the spiritual life.]
[If you do charity to a deserving receiver, it will be merit that gives heaven. If you do charity to an undeserving receiver, it is sin that gives the hell. In the case of the charity—sword, it has sharp edge on both sides. This means that charity done properly gives you benefit and the same charity done improperly gives you loss. Hence, one should be careful in this aspect.]
[If the charity is done for God’s work, that will yield the highest fruit, which is the eternal abode of God. The Veda says that sacrifice of the fruit of your work is the full stop for your spiritual efforts done to reach God (Tyāgenaike… Veda, Tyāgāt śānti ranantaram—Gita).]
[One must sacrifice food for a hungry beggar and sacrifice the fruit of one’s own work for the work of God. In doing both these charitable sacrifices, one should close both the eyes and proceed practically without any logical analysis.]
[Whenever you do charity, don’t see the deservingness of place and time. This means that you need not think of doing charity in a holy place and on a holy day. You shall do the charity on any day at any place provided the receiver is very holy and deserving. By charity, earn the merit (by donating to deserving receiver) and don’t earn sin (by donating to an undeserving receiver).]
[Goddess Sīt showed climax love towards God Raama. Such love is logical since she was overwhelmed by the climax good qualities of God Rama. If you take the case of this Krishna, Myself, I appear as if I have climax bad qualities. Still, Radha, yourself, show the same climax love towards Me without any trace of deficiency in love affected by these appearing bad qualities.]
[Both Sītā and Radha have played their stipulated roles to establish a valuable spiritual concept, which is that the climax love based on logic is the greatest love, but, the climax love beyond logic is greater than even the greatest love. In the case of Radha, the love is mixed with firm faith about God that God will have no bad quality under any circumstances since God looks like bad only to test the level of love of the devotee towards God. The spiritual path starts with God Brahma (spiritual knowledge), reaching the middle state of God Vishnu (love or theoretical devotion) and finally ends in the last state of God Shiva (rigid firmness to generate practical devotion).]
[Brahmā represents Rajas (action) quality and Vishnu represents Sattvam (spiritual knowledge) quality. Since the first step is knowledge (Jñāna Yoga) and first form is God Brahmā, some Sattvam is gifted to Brahmā by Vishnu (Due to this, Sages, the incarnations of Brahmā preach spiritual knowledge.). Similarly, Vishnu got some Tamas from Shiva and gave some Sattvam to Shiva. In the administration, Vishnu requires action (Rajas) and firmness (Tamas) as the ruler of the world. Vishnu represents love due to His predominant Sattvam (theoretical devotion) that generates practical devotion due to the acquired Rajas. Vishnu due to His inherent Sattvam is the giver of spiritual knowledge (Krishna, the incarnation of Vishnu is the giver of the Gita). Shiva requires Sattvam (spiritual knowledge) mixed with Tamas (firmness) that results in practical devotion. Due to acquired Sattvam, God Shiva is also told to be the source of spiritual knowledge as told “Jñānaṃ Maheśvarādicchet” (Ādi Shankara, the incarnation of Shiva, preached the spiritual knowledge.). Like this, the three qualities are partially exchanged among the divine trinity of God based on the requirement and this is the accepted logical policy.]
[The ultimate God is the unimaginable God or Parabrahman. He is beyond logical imagination. He also likes the true love, which is beyond logical imagination. The same unmediated Parabrahman mediated by an energetic form is called as God Datta, the first energetic incarnation. The test for such unimaginable love beyond logic is conducted by God Datta, which is called as “Test of God Datta” (Datta Parīkṣā).]
[The plurality is in creation and hence, souls differ from each other since the souls are part of the creation. The creator is always said as one in the Veda (Eka mevādvitīyaṃ Brahma). The Veda also says that there is no plurality in God (Neha nānāsti kiñcana). Therefore, Rama is Krishna. Krishna is Shiva. Shiva is Datta. The only one actor acting in several illusory roles is the ultimate-unmediated Parabrahman or mediated Parabrahman called God Datta. The roles are just the external different dresses and the bearer of all these dresses is the one basic actor, who alone is real.]
[God Datta, who is actually the Parabrahman, gave His absolute reality to the creation due to which this creation becomes absolutely real. But, when God Datta withdraws His absolute reality from the creation, the entire creation along with all these divine incarnations gets dissolved in God Datta, who incarnated Himself as these divine forms through mediation.]
[The unimaginable God or Parabrahman incarnated Himself as God Datta so that the souls in the future creation can meditate and worship Him and His further energetic and human incarnations. The difference between Parabrahman and God Datta is just the difference between a naked unseen person taking bath in a closed bathroom and the same person seen coming out of bathroom after wearing clothes. There is no trace of difference between the bathing naked person and the same person, who came out after wearing clothes. Similarly, there is no trace of difference between Parabrahman and God Datta and there is no trace of difference between Parabrahman and God Datta’s further energetic and human incarnations.]
[The unimaginable God or Parabrahman created His first energetic body and merged with it. After merging with this first energetic form, the Parabrahman is called as God Datta, the first energetic incarnation of Parabrahman. Afterwards, God Datta created energetic and human forms and merged with those forms, which became energetic and human incarnations of Parabrahman or God Datta only. Hence, God Datta and further energetic and human incarnations are the incarnations of Parabrahman only.]
[When God Datta is merging with energetic and human forms, the Parabrahman already merged with God Datta is also merging with those energetic and human forms, which become energetic and human incarnations. The Parabrahman is called as unmediated-unimaginable God or Nirguṇa Brahman. God Datta is called mediated-unimaginable God or Saguṇa Brahman. The word ‘Guṇa’ or quality means the energetic or human being-medium that is taken by Parabrahman to form energetic or human incarnations through God Datta.]
[‘Guṇa’ means quality and ‘Dravyam’ means the substratum that possesses the quality. If you take the blue lotus, the blue colour is the quality and the lotus is the substratum or possessor of the quality. The creation—quality is supported by the creator—substratum or Parabrahman. The medium taken by Parabrahman is a part of the creation only. Hence, the medium is called Guṇa or quality. Hence, Saguṇam means mediated God Datta and Nirguṇam means the same unmediated God called Parabrahman.]
[On this earth, there are several languages with different cultures. As per the languages and cultures, different religions developed in different regions. There is only one earth seen by all of us. Every religion speaks that its specific form of God created the earth and humanity. In such case, there should be several earths with several human populations. But, unfortunately there exists only one earth with one humanity. This means that there is only one God in different media related to different religions. Such one God is called as ‘God Datta’ by Hinduism and is called as ‘Father of Heaven’ by other foreign religions.]
[Even in this country called as India (Bhārat), there are different languages with different cultures along with different sub-religions like Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Śākteyam etc. This country is a mini-model of this earth. Ādi Shankara brought unity among all these sub-religions saying that one God called Parabrahman exists in different media of different sub-religions of Hinduism. Extending the same concept to all the regions on the earth, Swami Vivekananda brought unity among all these world-religions.]
[A devotee of any sub-religion or religion shall not criticize other sub-religions in his/her own religion or other world-religions or any other form of God related to any other sub-religion or religion in this entire world. If you scold the divine form of other sub-religion or religion, you are indirectly scolding the divine form of God of your own sub-religion or religion because the same one God exists in different media of different sub-religions and religions. First, every one shall identify the defects introduced by ignorant followers of his/her own sub-religion or religion without criticizing other sub-religions or religions. One should not be like an ignorant rosary pea (guñjā), which doesn’t see its own defective black lower side and always sees its meritorious upper red portion only.]
[Every sub-religion or religion has both merits and defects. The merits are established by the divine preachers of the sub-religion or religion. The defects are introduced by the ignorant followers of that sub-religion or religion. If the defects of all the sub-religions and religions are removed, one will get only one religion as the final extract. Similarly, if one removes all the external media, the internal one God can be realized.]
[One shall fill his stomach with food and water leaving some space for the movement of gases in the stomach. This means that one shall fill 1/2 or 1/3 portion of his/her stomach with food and in rest portion of the stomach, half is to be filled with water and half is to be kept vacant for the movement of gases. The variation (1/2 or 1/3) is acceptable based on different constitutions of different human beings. Everyone shall desire to live for 100 years to serve God and propagate His spiritual knowledge more and more on this earth as told in the Veda (Jijīviṣet śataṃ samāḥ, Prabṛvāma śaradas śatam.)]
[In Nivrutti, spiritual devotees are tested by God to see whether they give more importance to God than justice or not. Here, the devotee shall not mistake God as violating justice established by Himself. In such test, God only appears as if He has violated justice to test the spiritual level of the devotee. Actually, the justice can be realised in both the lower level and higher level when analysed deeply.]
[Protection of good people is higher justice and not telling a lie is lower justice. To protect good people like Pāṇḍavas from bad people like Kauravas, Krishna asks Dharma Raja to tell a lie so that Drona, who is strongly supporting the bad Kauravas can be killed. Dharma Raja gets confused and refuses to tell the lie, which is the lower justice that can be sacrificed to protect good Pāṇḍavas standing for higher justice. Hence, one shall never mistake God as the opposer of justice since God is the creator and protector of justice.]
