Śrī Rājīva Uvāca:-
[Śrī Rajiiv Spoke]:-

[In the story of the Purāṇam told by you, do we have to take the deity of Earth as a soul created by God or as a part of the inherent power of God? If we know the true background of the deity of Earth, we can take one type of story only and learn its concerned true preaching.]

Śrī Datta Bhagavān Uvāca:-
[God Śrī Datta Spoke]:-

[The humanity shall take both the stories as true and learn both concepts:- i) God will be romantically entertained by His embodiment of Aparā Prakṛti power only and ii) God will not be romantically entertained by souls created by Him. Both are true concepts and both shall be known by scholars (Bhūmi rāpo'nalo…- Gītā).]

[I know that your doubt is about which of these two stories really happened, so that we can take only one concept. But actually, both stories happened in two separate Mahā Yugas in the past (One Mahā Yuga is the time of Four Yugas, which is 12 hours for God Brahmā). Till now, 28 Mahā Yugas have happened and we are in the 29^th Mahā Yuga.]

[The Veda says that in the new creation, the entire story is repeated as it is, but with slight modifications so that new concepts can be preached to the humanity by God.]

[In the first story, the deity of Earth and the deity of Wealth are externally souls, which are solidified due to the quality of Tamas (Tamas is solid state and ignorance). When Sage Bhṛgu hit the chest of God Viṣṇu with his foot, Goddess Lakṣmī thought that her place (Chest of God Viṣṇu) was insulted and became angry. In that anger, she left even God Viṣṇu and went away. Here, she gave more importance to herself than to God Viṣṇu due to the quality of Tamas. The deity of Earth was also in Tamas to marry God Viṣṇu by getting attracted towards His beauty. Due to the Tamas in both, there is an attitude of rivalry in both towards each other. The lesson here is that ignorance due to Tamas quality will lead to the harm of one’s own self. The rivalry of the deity of Earth with Goddess Lakṣmī is also another type of punishment for the Tamas quality of Goddess Lakṣmī. The Tamas quality of Goddess Earth is often punished by the frequent attacks of demons on Earth. God knows whom to punish, when to punish and how to punish in different contexts. The punishments given by God are only for reformation and not for revenge.]

[In the second story, Goddess Lakṣmī, being the embodiment of Sattvam quality that causes the power of knowledge, could not tolerate the insult of God Viṣṇu by Sage Bhṛgu, even though he is the father of Goddess Lakṣmī. In this story, the deity of Earth is also a part of Aparā Power of God Viṣṇu, feeling herself as a part of Goddess Mahā Lakṣmī. There is no enmity between the deity of Earth and Mahā Lakṣmī in this story since both were internal divine forms. Here, the question arises as to why God Viṣṇu married the deity of Earth when there is no rivalry between the deity of Earth and Goddess Mahā Lakṣmī. Moreover, Goddess Lakṣmī became angry due to her love on God Viṣṇu only. The reason to marry the deity of Earth is that Goddess Lakṣmī lost her mental balance due to excess of anger. She should fight against her father, Sage Bhṛgu and not against God Viṣṇu by leaving Him. The lesson here is that the excess of anger will lead to mistakes, which harm one’s own self.]

[While studying these valuable stories, you should not shoot lame questions exhibiting your strong ignorance. It is like measuring the length of the stomach of the calf and measuring the length of a plant eaten by it, to express a doubt that how the long plant can be accommodated in the stomach of the calf when the length of the plant is more than the length of the stomach!]

[Like this, the scholars of the secondary scriptures (Purāṇams) shall establish divine justice in this world because God is pleased by such service since God is always very much happy if justice is established in this world.]

[In the secondary scriptures (Purāṇams), there are several insertions by many scholars, who were prejudiced by ignorance and who made fictional stories here and there. Hence, the Veda becomes the ultimate authority in spiritual knowledge. This is the final decision of all the scholars and also agreed upon by all the supporting scriptures (Śāstras like grammar, logic etc.).]

[Some stories happened really and some stories were created by the scholars in these secondary scriptures. Whether the story happened or not, it is immaterial provided it carries some good concept. If a story is fabricated and also carries a bad ignorance, it should be condemned because it will harm the humanity.]

[God Brahmā, God Viṣṇu and God Śiva are the Divine Trinity appearing as three Gods and the original God is only one called God Datta, who is appearing as three. You can praise any one of these three Gods or even any incarnation of any one of these three Gods, but you should not abuse any direct or indirect incarnation of the original one God called Brahman or God Datta.]

[Among these three Divine forms of God, the importance of God Viṣṇu exists as taught by Śrī Rāmānuja and Śrī Madhva. The reason is that the world is in the state of existence (sthiti) at present, for which the presiding deity is God Viṣṇu. Moreover, the meaning of God Viṣṇu is that He pervades all the divine forms of God and based on this reason, He is called as Viṣṇu.]

[Whatever divine form you like, see that form in all the divine forms of God as the basic internal controller. Your liked divine form shall be seen by you like the gold present in various golden jewels.]

[Since the meaning of the word ‘Viṣṇu’ is all-pervading because He pervades all the divine forms, the devotees of God Viṣṇu are to be very much respected and there is no doubt in this concept. But, all the divine forms of God are forms of God Viṣṇu only. This concept is as important as the above concept.]

[Superimposing the natures of human beings on angels and forms of God, different stories were created. Of course, several stories also happened really. You need not differentiate the real and fabricated stories as long as they carry the preaching of knowledge of justice to the humanity.]

[One may believe in the existence of God Rāma, but one may not believe in the qualities of Rāma. If the qualities of Rāma are left over, what is the use of devotion to God Rāma? The qualities of God Rāma are the basis of this world to run on truth and justice.]

[God Rāma is the path since He is called as Ādarśa Mānuṣāvatāra (Ideal Human being). God Kṛṣṇa is the ultimate goal since He is called as Ādarśa Līlāvatāra (Ideal Human incarnation of God). You must keep the path as the path and the goal as the goal. You must not reverse these two and fall down.]

[The Aṃśa Incarnation of God Viṣṇu called Veda Vyāsa, wrote the moral scriptures through the stories of the Purāṇams. Similarly, He wrote the spiritual knowledge through the Brahma Sūtras. These two ways are created by God as two parts of the same divine path for the sake of human beings.]

[You can take pride in your liked divine form of God. God will tolerate it. But God will not tolerate the jealousy shown towards the other forms of God. While studying the secondary scriptures (Purāṇams), one must wear these two lenses in the spectacle to be placed on both eyes.]

[O friend! Are there several earths, each earth created by each religion? There is only one earth created by one God of one religion called theism.]

Iti Śrī Datta Svāmi viracita Śrī Rājīva Gītāyāṃ Purāṇa samanvaya Vicāra Yogo Nāma Pañcadaśādhyāyaḥ|

[Like this, in Shri Rājīva Gītā, composed by His Holiness Shri Datta Swami, the Fifteenth Chapter called ‘The Association of Enquiry of the Correlation of Secondary scriptures’ is completed.]
