Shri Raajiiva Gita: Chapter-7: The Association of Enquiry of the Analysis of the Three Divine Philosophies

(Trimata tarka vicāra Yogaḥ)


Jump to other chapters →


Śrī Rājīva uvāca:-
[Śrī Raajiiv spoke]:-

Jīvo Brahameti kecittu,
Brahmāṃśa iti kecana।
Brahma sevaka ityanye,
niścayaṃ brūhi Sadguro!॥

[Some say that this soul is God. Some others say that this soul is a tiny part of God. Yet others say that the soul is always a servant of God. O Divine Preacher! Please tell Your decision on this topic.]

 

Śrī Datta Bhagavān uvāca:-
[God Datta spoke]:-

Trimatānyapi satyāni,
deśa kālānu sārataḥ।
Eko Jīvo bhinna kāle,
bhinna sthāneṣu jīvinaḥ॥

[All the philosophies of the three Divine Preachers are true. The change in their three philosophies is due to the change in place and time. The three different philosophies apply to the same soul at different times. The three different philosophies apply to the same person in different times of spiritual progress.]

 

Jāto hastī hariṇavat,
krameṇa harmyavad guruḥ।
Vṛddhaḥ kuṭīravat kṣīṇaḥ,
trikāle tridaśā gataḥ॥

[An elephant born will look like a grown-up deer. After some years, it grows like a big castle. After some time, the elephant becomes old and lean like a hut. The same elephant is in different states as time advances.]

 

Ekatra kariṇo jātāḥ,
paratra yauvanonmadāḥ।
Anyatra ca kṛśo vṛddhaḥ,
bhinna deśeṣu kānane॥

[In one place of a forest, you will find just-born baby elephants. In another place of the same forest, you will find grown-up elephants, which are young and energetic. In some other place of the same forest, you will find weak and old elephants.]

 

Deśe kāle ca jīvāstu,
vividhā''dhyātma vṛddhayaḥ।
Etamaṃśam avijñāya,
paṇḍitā api mohitāḥ॥

[As place changes and as time changes, the soul will reach different levels of spiritual progress. Even scholars forget this point and get influenced by the ignorant illusion of their heated brains due to dry logic.]

 

Tarkaśāstraṃ mahāvyāghram,
adhiṣṭhāya vivādinaḥ।
Garjantaṃ garjana dhvānāḥ,
caritre mṛtyudaṇḍanāḥ!॥

[These ignorant and egoistic scholars climb the logic tigers and participate in spiritual debate-wars. Their logical arguments roar and these scholars also roar along with their tigers. The history shows that these scholars influence even kings and kill the opposite debating scholars!]

 

Na hastī vālamātrastu,
pādo vā jaṭharo'tha vā।
Na rajju stambha kuḍyo vā,
samāhāra svarūpavān॥

[The elephant is not merely its tail or leg or stomach. You can’t compare the elephant with a mere rope or pillar or wall. The elephant is a combination of all these items, which are parts of the elephant. All the parts and limbs of the elephant must be assembled together and then only the complete elephant will appear.]

 

Jāyate mahadāścaryaṃ,
mamā'pi paramādbhutam।
Mahāmedhā laghujñānaṃ,
vismaratyatra dṛśyate॥

[Even I get immersed in the ocean of wonderful surprise in this point. We see in this world that sometimes, even great wonderful intelligence lacks common sense, which is forgotten by them in the required moment.]

 

Mahā tarkārtha medhāvī,
cakre peṭī biladvayam।
Sūkṣmaṃ sūkṣamāya pṛthave,
pṛthu mārjāla pānakṛt॥

[One of the greatest foreign scholars in the analysis of items of creation (Physics or Tarkaśāstra) made two boxes. He made a big box with a big hole so that his big cat could enter and drink milk in it. Similarly, he made a small box with a small hole so that his small cat could enter and drink the milk in it. He arrived at this logical conclusion after thinking a lot. But, his heated brain missed common sense that the small cat can also enter the big box through the big hole and can also drink that milk!]

 

Śrī Rājīva Uvāca:-
Śrī Rajiiv spoke:-

Na samādhīyate praśnaḥ,
jīvo brahma bhavet kvacit।
Kadāpi na bhaved Brahma,
parābhyā meva mucyate॥

[In one place (as per Śrī Śaṅkara), the soul is becoming God. But, as per the other two preachers (Śrī Rāmājuna and Śrī Madhva), the soul will never become God under any circumstances. Hence, the root question is not answered by You.]

 

Śrī Datta Bhagavān Uvāca:-

God Datta spoke:-

 

Samya gābhāṣitaṃ mūlaṃ,
tyaktavānasi naiva tat।
Anuyogasya pāṇḍityaṃ,
samādhānaṃ samuddharet॥

[You have spoken very well. You did not leave the root of your question at any cost. The scholastic ability of a question itself will bring out the correct answer.]

 

Virodhaṃ maulikaṃ prāhuḥ,
koṇāntara samanvayāt।
Ayaṃ praśnaḥ samādheyaḥ,
kalahoddeśa mutsṛjet॥

[In this question, people take the fundamental contradiction between two questions, which are: i) soul becomes God and ii) soul does not become God. While answering these two questions, the fundamental intention to quarrel with the other opponent must be left over in the mind of each person.]

 

Samādhāna midaṃ brūmaḥ,
śṛṇotu sāvadhānadhīḥ।
Niṣpakṣa pāta buddhyā ca,
śraddhayā ca śamātmanā॥

[We are now giving the answer. All of you hear with perfect attention. You should not have any partiality to any side. You have to hear this answer with a lot of care and patience.]

 

Sādhanena na jīvasya,
sādhyaṃ bhagavadadvayam।
Ataḥ kenā'pi yatnena,
na ko'pi Bhagavān bhavet॥

[By any effort of any soul, a soul can never become God. Hence, by any amount of any kind of effort, no soul can become God.]

 

Ima maṃśaṃ dvayaṃ prāha,
virodhastatra ko'pi no।
Itaḥ paraṃ niṣedho na,
tāvat paryanta masti no॥

[Both Śrī Rāmānuja and Śrī Madhva objected up to this point only, which is that no soul can become God through any amount of self-effort. Out of this point, they are not denying anything. But, this point alone should not be denied as per their arguments.]

 

Anyo'ṃśo nohya sāro'sti,
namatyatra gurutrayam।
Mahā Mahā balavatī,
tadicchā kimapi kriyāt॥

[There is another point, which is very very powerful and is unimaginable for any human brain and nobody can dare to deny it. The point is so powerful before which even all three Divine Preachers bend their heads and salute it. That point is that God’s will is very very strong and very very powerful and can do any impossible thing.]

 

Nirguṇaṃ hi Parabrahma,
taret taijasa mānuṣau।
Uddhartuṃ jīvino jīvaṃ,
kañcit bhaktaṃ samāśritaḥ॥

[Parabrahman is called Nirguṇa Brahman, which is unimaginable to any intelligence. This is the formless God. This Parabrahman descends to lower worlds as an energetic incarnation or a human incarnation. The reason is that God wants to uplift angels in the upper worlds and human beings on the earth. For this purpose, God merges with some devotee selected by Himself and does the welfare work of the world.]

 

Varaṇaṃ Bhagavat kāryaṃ,
bhaktecchā viparītadā।
Mānuṣaṃ sādhanaṃ dvābhyāṃ,
sevā bhaktir mitā khalu॥

[The selection of the devotee like Kṛṣṇa to grant monism to make that human being as human incarnation of God is totally dependent on the will of God only. If the devotee thinks to become human incarnation, such devotee is permanently debarred from such fortune. Śrī Rāmānuja and Śrī Madhva limited the spiritual path upto the effort of the spiritual aspirant only. Within this limit, a soul by its effort can become a devotee or a servant only belonging to Śrī Rāmānuja and Śrī Madhva.]

 

Advaitaṃ tadidam jīva –
yatna bhūmer bahis sthitam।
Naitat trimata cakrasthaṃ,
Īśvarānu grahād yataḥ॥

[This monism is completely out of the circle of the three divine philosophies of the three Divine Preachers. This monism is given to a soul purely based on the grace of the ultimate God called Nirguṇa Parabrahman, who is none but Saguṇa Parabrahman.]

 

Kṛṣṇo jīvo Brahma sākṣāt,
Devakī vasudevayoḥ।
Ācāryaiḥ pūjitas sarvaiḥ,
nā'tra kasyā'pi cāgrahaḥ॥

[Kṛṣṇa is a human soul born to Devakī and Vasudeva. He is accepted as the ultimate God by all the Divine Preachers. In this matter, no preacher makes any type of opposition. This concept is not in the capacity of any soul, which is 100% the decision of God, which does not come in the spiritual journey.]

 

Śrī Rājīva uvāca:-
[Śrī Rajiiv spoke]:-

Bhṛgu Rāmāt pṛthag bhūtaḥ,
śarkarā jalavat paraḥ।
Atyanta sūkṣma rūpeṇa,
bhinna eva sa vartate॥

[We very well know that God separated Himself from Paraśurāma when Paraśurāma got ego. You have also given the example that sugar dissolved in water shows sugar molecules and water molecules separately. Therefore, we can believe that God and the soul are always separate and don’t mix with each other to become one. It is possible that both God and soul might be in separate subtle states beyond our imagination. Therefore, God and the soul are always different from each other.]

 

Śrī Datta Bhagavān uvāca:-
[God Datta spoke]:-

Anena dvaita vādena,
Taṃ badhnāsi balā daho !।
Tatte bhaktir druḍhā Daive,
na laghu kriyase vara!॥

[You are sticking to the philosophy of dualism and hence, strongly binding God to the theory of dualism. O best devotee! I understand your strongest devotion to God, which makes you not to lessen your devotion to God even by a tiny trace!]

 

Jīvaveṣi Parabrahma,
Jīvāntar viṣṭa eva no।
Chāga carma bahir dṛṣṭaḥ,
siṃha eva tato na hi॥

[In an incarnation, God is in the dress of the soul and the soul is not active at all. Will a small peon be active in the presence of the Prime Minister? The soul becomes just like a dead item before the omnipotent almighty. Hence, it is better to say that the lion is acting like a goat covered by the leather of a goat. You should not take that the lion entered into the goat through a miracle and is acting like a goat, in which case both lion and goat are equally active!]

 

Nāṭake'pi Hariścandraḥ,
mṛta eva paṭaḥ khalu।
Naṭa eva naṭatyeṣa,
veṣa mātraika jīvite॥

[Even in drama, when an actor is acting in the role of King Hariścandra, only the actor exists. Where is King Hariścandra? The entire role of King Hariścandra is acted by the actor only. The life of King Hariścandra is just his jewels and silk cloth only.]

 

Smarantu na Hariścandraṃ,
mṛtam ādāya taṃ naṭam।
Prāveśayan jīvanāya,
yena dvaitaṃ samīkṛtam॥

[You must remember that the dead King Hariścandra was not brought down and the actor is not pushed into the dead body so that the dead king became alive and started acting like Hariścandra. In such case, we can’t expect the case of dualism of the actor and King Hariścandra together in the dialogues and actions because the actor and King Hariścandra have different accumulated psychologies or saṃskāras.]

 

Evaṃ bhavatu jīvasya,
jīvatvāt jīvato Hareḥ।
Sarvaśakti mato miśra —
saṃskāra vākya karmaṇā॥

[All right. Let us agree that both God and the soul are alive in the incarnation. The soul is alive due to its awareness. God is alive due to His omnipotence since awareness was not necessary for Him to think anything. This is possible due to omnipotence of God and this point is already well established previously. In such case, the ideas, talks and actions of both are totally different and look like a mixture of different items.]

 

Uktameva mahāmantri —
puro dāsas sa jīvakaḥ।
Mṛtavat vartate prahvaḥ,
jaḍavat so'dvitīya vat॥

[We have already told above that the soul behaves like a petty peon before the Prime Minister. The servant will behave like a dead body or like an inert robot and the master will behave like the single alive dictator present, as if there is nobody to question him.]

 

Advaita dvaitayos sakhyaṃ,
jīvato rapi caikatā।
Parasparā'virodhena,
samyuktāṅguli yugmavat॥

[Here, we find the friendship between monism and dualism. Both are simultaneously alive and both become one. There is no contradiction between the two concepts. It is like the two fingers joined together by the will of the person.]

 

Atra jīvepsitaṃ kiṃ cit,
nāsti jīvasya sādhane।
Na yojyaṃ jīvayatneṣu,
Brahmaṇaḥ kevalepsitam॥

[This type of monism mixed dualism happens by the will of God only and not by the will or effort of any soul. Therefore, monism shall not be added to the list of spiritual efforts of the soul. This takes place only when God wishes.]

 

Mahā deva Brahmaṇos tat,
Advaita Dvaita saṅgame।
Tīrthe snāto vimuktassan,
Śiva Brahmaṇi līyate॥

[Like this, the scholar, who takes an intellectual bath in the confluence of Advaita and Dvaita of God Śiva and God Brahmā respectively, gets salvation and will dissolve in the most peaceful Brahman or God.]

Iti Śrī Datta Svāmi viracita Śrī Rājīva Gītāyāṃ Trimata Tarka Vicāra Yogo Nāma Saptamādhyāyaḥ|

[Like this, in Shri Rājīva Gītā, composed by His Holiness Shri Datta Swami, the Seventh Chapter called ‘The Association of Enquiry of the Analysis of the Three Divine Philosophies’ is completed.]
