[00:11:29]Pranams to Puja Swami G. Pranams to Not Swami G. Pranams to Ma. We're all delighted to be back here in the live sanit after one and a half months.

[00:11:44]The last satssung on chapter 7 was on 30th of May. Before Puja Swami G traveled to USA for the USA Nyanayaga, Swami G was discussing the 25th shloka of the seventh chapter.

[00:12:00]Just a short reminder, Puja Swami G has pointed out that after completing the first six chapters which were focused on discovering that the source of everything, the self is within us. In the seventh chapter, Sri Krishna is exposing Arjuna that means all of us to the fact that that self with which is within us is but the universal self and this Sri Krishna does through a variety of methods. Swami G also pointed out that Sri Krishna in this chapter is actually suggesting many practical means by which we in the human form can also attain divinity. Attain divinity how? By not only identifying with the self but by understanding that the self within is the universal self. There is no difference. We would be requesting Buju Swami G to commence and at the end of the satssung sharing upcoming events in the ashram with you. Juru Haru Jaguru Juru [sighs and gasps] [snorts] Fore!

[00:13:49][clears throat] Foreign! Foreign!

[00:13:58]for shad.

[00:14:24]Krishna Krishna for Hi, hurry. Hurry.

[00:15:02]Jagura Jagura Jagur As usual we shall have three times the collective recitation of the most auspicious monos while reciting every one of you should have a very special creative thoughtpa that our joint recitation should spread upon the whole of the earth, showering its benedictions on all the beings thriving on our planet. [snorts] Interlock your fingers and put them on your lap.

[00:15:51]Sit comfortably, erect, close your eyes.

[00:15:56]Open the mouth and heart and join me.

[00:16:02]Recite the with your full throat.

[00:16:18]Oh.

[00:16:24]Oh.

[00:16:28]Oh.

[00:16:30]Oh.

[00:16:37]Oh.

[00:16:43]Oh.

[00:16:48]Oh.

[00:16:56]Oh. Oh.

[00:17:02]Oh.

[00:17:07]Oh.

[00:17:12][cough and clears throat] We shall recite [snorts] verse number seven of second chapter.

[00:17:20]Arjuna making his final submission before Krishna began his warfield dialogue.

[00:17:38]for [singing] Yes.

[00:18:16]He shim [singing] shiman.

[00:18:41]Shiman.

[00:18:51][singing] I would like to repeatedly emphasize one point.

[00:19:07]I think I should emphasize it thousands of times because our listeners will listen to but then they will never take up the practice of stabilizing what they have heard.

[00:19:25]Actually they should do the introspection repeatedly but they are not doing but unless you do that this knowledge will not become accessible to you.

[00:19:40]So what is the point I want to emphasize?

[00:19:45]See the world is very huge androgenous.

[00:19:50]There is infinite variety of variety in the world.

[00:19:56]Infinite distances also countless objects are there all around us.

[00:20:05]I agree.

[00:20:09]Any number of times you want me to agree, I shall agree. But one point you will have to agree when I say this.

[00:20:16]Explain this. What is that? All this reference that you are making there is a world around us. It embodies infinite variety. It has also infinite distances.

[00:20:31]It is very very extensive, very colorful etc etc. But my dear listeners tell me very clearly on the basis of what are you making these statements?

[00:20:45]only on the basis of your experience.

[00:20:50]The world is what you experience.

[00:20:54]You are referring to a world which you experience.

[00:20:58]You cannot refer to anything else at all. Throughout our life, we are referring to only our experiences and knowledge.

[00:21:09]When you say my experience, our experiences and knowledge, tell me where are they focused?

[00:21:20]Is it focused anywhere in the body?

[00:21:24]Is it focused anywhere in your house?

[00:21:29]We completely have to leave all the objects including our body within our body in the supra physical supra material supra energ that we have our experiences nowhere else. All experiences are inner.

[00:22:03][clears throat] All experiences are inner inner inner inner inner inner inner inner means what? Inside your body inside your body where the experience is had. Can any object enter there?

[00:22:38]When you [clears throat] see a tree, the tree remains where it is and you are standing or sitting where you are.

[00:22:47]Neither you go to the tree nor the tree comes to you.

[00:22:52]But you see the tree and seeing also is where eyes are made use of to see the tree.

[00:23:02]But seeing processes inside the body beyond the physical body, it is in the mental plane, intellectual plane, sensient plane.

[00:23:16]So every reference that you are making, every knowledge that you acquire and display, [cough] [clears throat] all are very personal and very inner.

[00:23:31]very very inner.

[00:23:34]Now this point you should always keep in mind.

[00:23:42]Always you should keep in mind.

[00:23:45]Experience is inner.

[00:23:48]It is mental. It is mental intellectual.

[00:23:55]And we are always dealing with referring to analyzing understanding everything only what we experience and know.

[00:24:08]So when you refer to the world are you referring to something objective?

[00:24:12]Certainly not.

[00:24:14]You are referring to a world which you inwardly subjectively personally experience.

[00:24:23]That experience is what you refer to as the world. So the world is actually a mind produces. Your body is also a notion the mind produces.

[00:24:36]You don't have a body but you have the notion of the body. The notion is generated by the mind. Keep it in mind.

[00:24:46]Krishna is making a number of statements very good revelations also [snorts] as we have mentioned earlier. Now we proceed with the discussion we are going to the 24th verse in the seventh chapter.

[00:25:11]for [snorts] [singing] maj.

[00:25:39]>> [singing] >> Understand very clearly that Krishna is standing on the pedestal of his own experience.

[00:25:55]Our life is experiential.

[00:25:59]Our life is experiential from head to foot, from first to last.

[00:26:10]So on the basis of the experience that he has all others also have. He saying aba Abua means people who do not have a very good understanding. They don't use your intelligence well. Abuddy they are not given to analysis.

[00:26:38]comparison, contrast, examining what they experience, evaluating their experience, evaluating their vision, evaluating their sensory interactions because they don't use the intelligence.

[00:26:53]Intelligence alone can do it. So virtually there are people with no buddhi at all, no intelligence.

[00:27:01]What do they think?

[00:27:03]They consider I am actually the inner presence what produces these experiences.

[00:27:16]Call it the mind, call it the intelligence, call it the ego, but it is something different from the body and inward to the whole body.

[00:27:25]It is beyond the bodily plane that we are having experiences.

[00:27:30]So experientially I am actually imperceptible in you all say I but do you have a distinct notion about the eye and does the eye become distinct? Certainly not.

[00:27:51]By I you refer to the inner presence in the body which animates and activates the body.

[00:28:00]That presence which animates and activates the body is different from the body as and inward to it.

[00:28:09]So that is not va not evident to the senses that is the real personality of mind the real being of mind that they feel that it has become an evident perceptible body.

[00:28:33]How can the inner presence become a body?

[00:28:38]Can water become the earth? Can air become water? Can fire become water?

[00:28:47]Can space become anything?

[00:28:51]A thing will continue to be so. It will not change its nature.

[00:28:57]Then it is not a thing at all.

[00:28:59][clears throat] So my my personality is actually inward.

[00:29:08]It is the body consisting of mind, intelligence and ego. My inner personality and then I have the eye which is beyond and different from the three.

[00:29:22]That is my personality.

[00:29:25]Not able to understand that this is so Krishna has already explained it. How did he explain in the second chapter?

[00:29:34]He began his instruction in the on in the 11th verse of second chapter. And when he goes to the next verse, he says, Arjuna don't think that I was born of Dagi.

[00:30:01]What was born of Dagi? My mother is my body.

[00:30:06]My body.

[00:30:08]I am not the body.

[00:30:11]I am the presence which is inside the body which animates the inner body, activates it all.

[00:30:20]that I there was no time when I was not even this is true of you and Bishma and the others about whom you are grieving. What is true? None of us. There was a time when none of us was ever not present.

[00:30:53]As we are present now, we were present earlier also. If we were not present earlier, how can we be present now?

[00:31:05]See in the hall in which I am sitting and speaking to you, addressing you, there are a few people seated in this hall.

[00:31:14]If they are present here in this hall now, they were present earlier. That is why leaving their rooms, they have come to listen to me. They are seated on the chairs provided here.

[00:31:35]Being present means it was present otherwise it cannot be present now. If it was present earlier and is present now [clears throat] then can it be nonpresent or absent later? No. So he says this is not alone true of me true of you Arjuna and Bishma and the others.

[00:32:04]If there is not going to be a time when they are not there, when they were not there, then what are you grieving about?

[00:32:16]What are you grieving about?

[00:32:21][clears throat] There will not be a time when we shall cease to bear.

[00:32:42]This is true of all people.

[00:32:47]So rewrite your judgment.

[00:32:51]Rewrite your understanding.

[00:32:55]Our body alone was born. Body alone was born. That alone grew. That alone grows.

[00:33:03]That alone declines. That alone ages. In that alone the life forces also at one time become absent.

[00:33:13]Our bodily functions alone come to a stop. The inner presence nothing affects it. It is different from the body.

[00:33:22]Suppose a neighbor has died in your body in your in your neighboring house. Will you will anybody say that you have died?

[00:33:30]Because you are different from him.

[00:33:33]Similarly, we are different from the body.

[00:33:38]But we are we were present. We are present within the body animating the body and activating it. When the body and bodily parts become inoperative, non nonfunctional, then the death takes place. That does not affect the inner presence. The inner presence is so subtle that nothing happens sweet. Will anything happen to the space? No.

[00:34:05]Because of it subtlety and allvading nature. Now this is even subtler. I can say this I which you refer to. So nothing will happen to it. So he says when you understand that I am the inner presence, nothing of the body is applicable to it.

[00:34:30]Body was born. I was not born.

[00:34:34]Body has got a mass of matter. It has a weight. It has a dimension. None of these the inner presence has.

[00:34:48]The body grows, it declines, it dies also. All these are transitions which are applicable only to the body.

[00:35:06]This is my real nature. This nature is not visible to the senses.

[00:35:22]infelligence is the only tool in human life.

[00:35:29]The tool of understanding nothing else.

[00:35:33]Our senses cannot understand.

[00:35:37]Our mind cannot understand. Our ego cannot understand. Our intelligence alone can understand. So by applying the intelligence, what did I say? There was no time when we were not. Why?

[00:35:54]If we are now, we must have been earlier.

[00:35:58]It is an inference. Using your intelligence, you understand. A thing which was absent, it cannot be present from absence.

[00:36:08]The absent if something is absent, it will continue to become absent. If something is present, it will continue to become present. It cannot change its nature.

[00:36:19]Milk is white forever. Eyes is cold forever. Fire is hot and brilliant forever.

[00:36:31]Is it not very simple my dear listeners to understand this? Where do you have to go to?

[00:36:38]It's very very clear. Apply your intelligence. Reason about it.

[00:36:44]So, People who don't use their intelligence, who are unintelligent, they alone say Krishna was born and he has a certain weight, measurement, height, etc. My body was born of the Igree.

[00:37:14]But the presence inside the body which animates and activates the body was never given birth to by anybody.

[00:37:22]It was present, it is present and it will be present. Its presence will never be affected by any factor whatsoever in the whole visible creation.

[00:37:35][clears throat] What does Krishna mean by this? He gives a clarion call that you should understand what is the imperceptible personality of yours.

[00:38:04]You are always judging, judging, judging on the basis of the body. You dress the body, you eat for the body, you bathe the body, but you always say my body, my body, my body. How can the my body be the I? I is the nominative case and my is a possessive case. With the possessive case, you can always refer to something different from you.

[00:38:34]When you say my pen, this pen is different from me. That is why I say my pen and I hold it in my hand.

[00:38:46]Everything in this world including the body you refer to as my body.

[00:38:52]You are not looking well. What is the trouble?

[00:38:56]I am referring to the body his face and then say you are not looking well.

[00:39:01]Immediately he says today my stomach is upset. See my stomach is upset. He doesn't say I am upset my stomach is upset naturally naturally I am worried I have pain so we are confusing in referring to the I and mindless confusion is cleared and you have ample clarity there is no salvation there is no redress My inner personality is aa and anutama.

[00:39:42]It is the super best.

[00:39:47]There is no wear and tear for it.

[00:39:53]There is no exhaustion for it. There is no termination for it.

[00:40:03]understanding dawns in you automatically you become like Krishna you become Krishna like this is an understanding which has to grace you when you start introspecting over the subject using the intelligence for several hours you spend on this introspection this contemplation this kind of an inquiry and ascertainment that will determine detine the effect of your knowledge. How forceful, how wholesome, how persistent, how ever prevailing it is.

[00:41:03]Even did not know also did not know him.

[00:41:11]They were all playing with the body of Krishna. Never in their life they had thought about what is my real son?

[00:41:21]Is he only the body or something different from the body?

[00:41:27]When you are sleeping, you are unconscious of your body. You are equally unconscious of your mind and intelligence.

[00:41:36]You are certainly unconscious of the whole world. So there is nothing about which you are conscious of when you go to sleep. But do you die and do you become absent? No. The same eye which was wakeful for 16 hours earlier. It is the same eye that says after getting up from the sleep I slept.

[00:42:01]I was awake for 16 hours at the end of 16 hours I slept. Now I have woken up.

[00:42:11]Where is the change for the eye?

[00:42:14]But in sleep you did not have the body.

[00:42:17]You did not have the mind. You did not have the intelligence and ego. And you are totally totally unaware of the world as all these things are erased from you.

[00:42:30]Still you say I slept. Which eye? The same eye that was awake for 16 hours earlier.

[00:42:39][clears throat] What answer do you have to give me? And what question can you make any further?

[00:42:49]Think about it. Don't mod your intelligence. Use it.

[00:42:56][clears throat] Did not know. She never thought what is this Krishna? He a little unusual. This unusualness is not due to body. He must have something within him. What is that?

[00:43:09]They never thought about it.

[00:43:11]>> [snorts] >> Though there were ample occasions when Krishna pointed out in one way or the other as a child, a little later as a boy.

[00:43:25][clears throat] Hey Recite >> which one?

[00:43:58]for my dear souls, what Krishna says is true of every one of us, every one of us, because we never think for a moment what is this I referring to.

[00:44:40]We taught the child to say I, you, he, she, it.

[00:44:46]But we never told the child where is this eye and what is this eye. We ourselves also did not know.

[00:44:57]serviceled [clears throat] by yoga maya that spiritual inscrable power.

[00:45:13]Inscrable power. It is a power which we cannot scrutinize, describe, assess, specify or determine.

[00:45:23]It is a power by virtue of which anything can be done. What are basically the three powers to create something new to uncreate what is created to bring about changes in what is created. If these three powers are there it is full.

[00:45:46]We must be able to produce when necessary and bring about changes in what is produced and when necessary we must be able to erase and exterminate what is created.

[00:46:02]These are the three powers and these powers are inherent in the inner presence.

[00:46:12]That is why it produces a number of thoughts. Do you know trillions of thoughts you would have produced in your lifetime? Where are they? Are they there?

[00:46:24]Every thought arises subsequently it subsides. Arises subsides arises.

[00:46:30]Subsides.

[00:46:32]Where are they doing? They are doing so in your own mind.

[00:46:38]So mind is the source of thought. So it emerges from the mind. It subsides in the mind.

[00:46:45]It has the power to produce any number of thoughts and it has the power to make them subside also. It survives but the thoughts do not.

[00:47:02]Are people sitting any time in their life sitting in onasan [clears throat and cough] interlocking the fingers and closing the eyes and take a look into the within to find out what is this mind and mind process? What is this intelligence and intellect process?

[00:47:25]What do I call and mean by will?

[00:47:29]How are these thoughts produced?

[00:47:32]How are they subsiding?

[00:47:39]If thoughts are produced, the source of thoughts should be within me. So my mind is producing the thoughts. The mind is the source. So if it has the power to cost, how much power does it have? What is its potential?

[00:47:57]Every day at the end of 16 hours of interactional life with all the impacts the interactions bring about before going to sleep your mind completely erases obliterates all the interaction impacts without any trouble and it goes to sleep and this takes place every day every day for everyone.

[00:48:27]What does it mean?

[00:48:29]Our inner presence in the form of the mind has got the power to wipe off all interactional impacts when necessary.

[00:48:40]And it does not take even an instant for doing so.

[00:48:44]Keeping such a mind, what are you suffering?

[00:48:48]Your memory makes you suffer. What for?

[00:48:52]Your mind has got ample capacity to obliterate everything.

[00:48:58]Then why should you suffer? Because you don't understand the mind. You don't utilize its resources.

[00:49:06]First of all, you are ignorant. Not knowing what is within the body, what is mind, what is intelligence, what is ego, and what is the whole substance within me which produces all these.

[00:49:23]So if there is a source which can produce countless number of thoughts, don't you think it is supreme in every way?

[00:49:36]Producing so many thoughts is just like producing the world.

[00:49:43]It is producing from nowhere and nothing.

[00:49:48]That is the way God has created the world.

[00:49:52]God alone has the power of creation. The other source we find is our own mind.

[00:49:58]Mind because it is a source of creation.

[00:50:01]Is it not actually God? Verily it is God.

[00:50:15]There is an inner world for us, an inner hemisphere, an inner dimension, an inner domain.

[00:50:25]That inner domain is far greater and superior to the external world.

[00:50:40]Yesterday in the evening satsang I was explaining to them there is also a poweroint program which I showed our senses are superior to the objects.

[00:50:52]Mind is superior to the senses.

[00:50:54]Intelligence is superior to the mind and still superior is the eye [clears throat] behind and beneath.

[00:51:04]So where stands the eye? It is superior to the world objects. It is superior to the mind, superior to the intelligence.

[00:51:17]So what is it dimension? What is it status?

[00:51:22]Are you not carrying in your personality everything to the world objects?

[00:51:29]Because senses are the out outermost factor in your body and personality.

[00:51:34]Those senses are superior.

[00:51:38]The mind animates and activates the senses. That mind is superior to the senses. Intelligence is what evaluates, assesses and directs the mind about the information the mind collects.

[00:51:56]So the mind is functioning at the instance of the intelligence. Knowledge should be provided by it.

[00:52:02]So the intelligence is superior to the mind and still is the I.

[00:52:10]What more do you want then? How do you say that I am weak?

[00:52:17]What weakness? Why are you cooking up this weakness? Who is weak?

[00:52:23]Senses are superior to the world objects. Mind is superior to the senses.

[00:52:29]Intelligence is superior to the mind.

[00:52:31]And the eye is most superior.

[00:52:36]So who who is and what is weak?

[00:52:41]Never utter this word.

[00:52:43]Say goodbye to it.

[00:52:46]Speak the story of heroism, story of valor, story of courage, story of stability, story of steadiness, steadfastness.

[00:53:02]So by virtue of the inducer power imposed by the inner presence imposed by the supreme reality encircled by it, the potential and magnitude about the eye, they are not revealed to ordinary ary people.

[00:53:37]This ignorant world of humanity, it does not know.

[00:53:47]Are you hearing me?

[00:53:50]They don't know.

[00:53:59]The I you are referring to unborn for the first time.

[00:54:06]It is irreducible, ineasable.

[00:54:14]It cannot be limited.

[00:54:18]It cannot be abbreviated.

[00:54:23]It remains uniform, stable. the same ever and ever and ever.

[00:54:31]This is present in everyone.

[00:54:35]You can only refer to it as the presence in my body.

[00:54:42]We can use the first personal pronoun only about this inner presence which is irreducible, inexhaustible, interminable, which is imperishable, which is all pervading.

[00:55:10]I am ma this deluded world.

[00:55:16]Yes. Yes. The entire humanity is deluded. And so far as animals and birds are concerned, we don't have to discuss them. They are not supposed to be intelligent and knowledgeable. They can only look after and fulfill the needs of the body.

[00:55:35]they will also mate etc etc and there each community will survive nothing more than that there is a beautiful proverb which says There are four factors. Ahara means food feeding the body. Nidra means sleep.

[00:56:19]Ba means fear. Maidana means conjugal exercise.

[00:56:27]These four are common to pasham for humans as well as the animals.

[00:56:38][cough] [clears throat] Then where is the human superiority?

[00:56:49]For humans, the additional special factor is the knowledge.

[00:56:59]As I sometimes say, suppose you have a dog, pet dog.

[00:57:06]You take the dog for a walk. You and the dog both will be going and seeing the same things.

[00:57:14]Whatever you see, the dog also will be seeing. And after walking you come back you tie the dog wherever it is necessary.

[00:57:27]After some time the dog will sleep. What will you do?

[00:57:41]which had registered in you particularly well. You will introspect over it. It will become part of your understanding, part of your life and experience. And it may trigger many things in you in the form of thought, caution and whatnot.

[00:57:59]This is the difference between you and an animal.

[00:58:07]Knowledge is the only special factor in the human life. That knowledge if you don't develop and preserve You have a human body but you have an animal life.

[00:58:33]Yes, we are animals.

[00:58:36]We are animals.

[00:58:42]We alone have the capacity to think and understand and share our knowledge articulated properly.

[00:58:52]But animals and birds don't have this capacity. Here he says I am this deluded world they have not cared to know and understand assertain a in is unborn and inexhaustible, interminable. It is imperishable.

[00:59:34]Our body alone is mortal. The presence inside the body animating and activating it is not at all mortal. On the other hand, it is imperishable.

[00:59:47]So when we are born, we are coming with a twofold heredity.

[00:59:52]One is mortality which the body imposes and the other is immortality which the inner presence showers showers and showers.

[01:00:22]Why this body at all is there then? Yes.

[01:00:26]The presence inside our body it is present in the whole body which is punjabi made up of punjabas.

[01:00:35]It is the same punjabudas they have made up that have made up this world visible creation also. So if the inner presence is because of its subtlety present completely in the body of punjabas it is equally present in all the punjabas that constitute the visible creation.

[01:00:59]Do you understand the point? The reason a thing will perate depending upon its subtlety.

[01:01:10]Take a piece of matter.

[01:01:13]I keep it here. Will it permeate or pervade? No. It will retain it shape and keep quiet.

[01:01:20]Suppose I pour some water.

[01:01:24]What will it do? It will spread downward and sideward.

[01:01:29]But it cannot spread upward. Bring air.

[01:01:32]It will spread upward.

[01:01:35]All these are due to the subtlety of the product.

[01:01:41]Now you think of space accasha that aasha is all pervading by it very nature. It penetrates as well as surrounds.

[01:01:55]So in the world in which we live we have space which is impenetrable which is pervailing in all the four buddhas. [snorts] >> [clears throat] >> Because the inner presence is all pervading.

[01:02:15]Mark mark what I say. All pervading. It is full. It cannot move.

[01:02:22]Because it cannot move. It cannot act.

[01:02:28]So what should be done to become functional and active? You must have a limited presence.

[01:02:37]which can move, which can move.

[01:02:44]That is what you have in the form of the body.

[01:02:48]Every one of you has a body only to make you functional.

[01:02:54]Inwardly, you cannot function because you are full.

[01:02:59]But this body being not full, it has hands, it has fingers, it has feet, it has head, neck, it has the chest, abdomen, thighs, knees, cough muscles, ankles, feet, elbow, forearm.

[01:03:19]Then the upper arm, everything is there because they are limited and limited in size. They are remaining functional.

[01:03:28]they are active.

[01:03:30]So this body is only to enable one to act.

[01:03:35]If there was no body, there will be no activity at all.

[01:03:42]A form is necessary to be functional. So to be functional, I have a body, but I am not the body.

[01:03:51]Inside the body my inner presence is all pervading and it is omniresent that nobody is trying to understand.

[01:04:04]They only see my body and deal with the body.

[01:04:11]Even our parents have they ever taught anything beyond the body in the whole of the educational system are they not teaching only about the objects visible objects of the world is not a teaching completely based upon the object object for around >> [clears throat and cough] >> By by evolving such a form to become functional, do you think the inner presence its potential magnitude and magnificence are the least conditioned and affected?

[01:05:01]I don't know whether you follow what I say.

[01:05:07]By becoming a body and functioning in the body with the body is the inner presence its magnificence, magnitude and potential.

[01:05:22]Are they the least affected or conditioned? No.

[01:05:27]No.

[01:05:29]No.

[01:05:34]This nobody knows.

[01:05:38]You remain a body, you live as a body, you die as a body.

[01:05:48]What made the body animated?

[01:05:52]What animated and activated it? Nobody takes time to think. You know we have this investigure of a sacra thread and the instruction on gayri [clears throat] etc. And everybody when he becomes a brahmachari by getting the sacred thread he supposed to chant Gayatri mantra.

[01:06:21]The practice as I know is 108 times in the morning 64 times in the evening and at noon 32 times. But at noon because you will be in schools and other places you may not be able to perform. But morning and evening you have to do it.

[01:06:41]This Gayatri jaba is actually a contemplation.

[01:06:47]In a way it is an introspection but contemplation it is.

[01:06:54]It ends up saying that the means buddhi means I contemplate upon you using my intelligence.

[01:07:21]Why am I contemplating upon you? So that you will inspire my intellects in the wakeful state in the sleep and also in dream.

[01:07:36]See what a great idea is this.

[01:07:42]If everyone takes to this guy and follows it as faithfully, you know, he will be a different person.

[01:07:57]His mind structure will be entirely different.

[01:08:07]Himalian confidence will grace him right from the beginning because this guyatri everyday he proper guyatri java along with other formalities will be I think it will take about 20 to 30 40 minutes that will give you a peep into your inner personality.

[01:08:42]The entire body is matter matter material material. It's a material mass.

[01:08:49]And as a material mass, it is inert inert.

[01:08:54]It is jada insensient.

[01:08:57]But you are not insensient. You are sensient. That sensience does not come to you from the body. It comes to you from the mind.

[01:09:06]From the intelligence, from the ego, from the inner presence whose functional nodes are the mind, intelligence and ego.

[01:09:22]Can you imagine and evaluate a person who does this jaba every day?

[01:09:31]I don't think there is anything further required in the sphere of religion, spirituality, philosophy or yoga.

[01:09:40]From there everything will come.

[01:09:45]Every day your inner personality will grow in depth, in vastness, in loftiness, magnificence, in potential, in quality, in enrichment, empowerment, elevation, expansion, enlightenment.

[01:10:15]We are feeding the body and nourishing the body every day spending about two to two and a half hours correspondingly.

[01:10:23]Do we nourish do you nourish your mind and intelligence? Certainly not.

[01:10:30]How do you account for this disparity and the consequences?

[01:10:40]body you want inner personality I am not interested in is it possible in gems I was talking to people like these students about students studying in the 9th 10th 10th and 11th class came [clears throat] so I talked to them you have only the body don't you have the mind yes You look after the body by spending two to two and a half hours. But do you do anything to nourish the inner personality of mind, intelligence and ego? No. Is it right? No. Not right. You the message went round and about 150 students came saying that we want to listen to Swami G. He should speak to us.

[01:11:37]This is what a grave disorder.

[01:11:41]You want the body and eat more than necessary and put on weight, wait, but you don't need the mind at all.

[01:11:54]See, something should be done for the mind and the intelligence and the ego.

[01:12:01]If you cannot do anything at least take an asan sit on it, interlock your fingers and close your eyes. So the whole body becomes still. It becomes nonactive.

[01:12:19]Naturally whatever can will function in in in that state will be the mind and the intelligence. Automatically your attention will go to the mind and intelligence because you are not doing anything and you are keeping quiet. Automatically the mind, the thought, the emotion, the reasoning process, everything will start becoming a subject of examination and evaluation for you.

[01:12:52]Evaluation for you.

[01:12:56]How great is that sitting? Sitting in a place doing nothing and be conscious of your sitting.

[01:13:07]This itself is sufficient. In a way this is meditation.

[01:13:26]See, see what Krishna says.

[01:13:33]I am this deluded world.

[01:13:41]The word ma actually means idiot. An idiot.

[01:13:48]So the world is idiotic. Humanity particularly is the point of reference here. This idiotic humanity minable, imperishable, all pervading, immortal.

[01:14:16]This simple lesson nobody knows.

[01:14:22]And he is pitying them. Pity them.

[01:14:30]Maya yoga maya.

[01:14:35]This yoga maya is the spiritual inscrable power by virtue of which anything can be created and the created can be uncreated and any changes can be breathed into the creation.

[01:15:56]He speaks about the inner presence, inner personality. The eye Arjuna [singing] Vham.

[01:16:59]What is meant by spiritual dimension?

[01:17:03]When do you say a person is spiritual?

[01:17:06]You don't say anybody is spiritual unless he becomes conscious of what is present within the body.

[01:17:17]This body is a material mass. It is inert.

[01:17:23]It has no potential to experience or know.

[01:17:29]But I am always experiencing and knowing.

[01:17:33]Both the experience and knowledge are not facilitated by the body, created by the body.

[01:17:49]I am that. I am that.

[01:17:53]Until a person starts feeling in this manner, you cannot say he is spiritual.

[01:18:00]That understanding will completely change his perception, his evaluation, his insight.

[01:18:11]Oh, I am not this inert body.

[01:18:15]I am the sensient inner presence.

[01:18:19]The difference between sensience and inertness it is so much indescribably so Arjuna I again tell you whatever has taken place whatever have taken place I know in the same way as I know the present I also know the past. I also know the future.

[01:18:53]This world is evolved.

[01:18:56]This visible world of names and forms.

[01:19:00]What is this world?

[01:19:03]We have solid earth, fluid water, gaseous air, hot and brilliant fire and the indescribable space. All these are material.

[01:19:18]They are subject to transformation, growth, all are transitory.

[01:19:36]Solidity, liquidity, gaseousness, energy and spaciousness [snorts] from something different from all the five. The five have sprung up over a period of time. It has become like this.

[01:19:58]In the course of time you will find all this the whole creative process evolutionary process will be reversed and you will have an involution.

[01:20:14]You know our earth they are all like place kept one over the other one over the other they are rubbing against each other.

[01:20:27]this place. So anything happened to the earth any time we need not be surprised by anything either an earthquake or a huge wildfire, a cyclone, floods, all these are natural. There is nothing special about it.

[01:20:55]Because of our lack of understanding, lack, we don't have the ability to evaluate matters properly with proper insight.

[01:21:10][clears throat] I know all these. I am the knower.

[01:21:20]I am the witness.

[01:21:24]Nobody knows me.

[01:21:28]I was born of Dagi and I asked my father to carry me to Reund there and bring back the girl child for my uncle to kill.

[01:21:40]So I was looked after by I I was reared by Asha could not understand me.

[01:21:48]Nam could not understand me.

[01:21:56]When Krishna went at the invitation of the uncle to Madura to witness the Dhanuryaga as a child as a boy he went there he and Bellarama then killed the elephant Kuan went to the wrestling made platform and killed all those people jumped into the gallery took his uncle threw him onto the platform and fell over his body. The uncle died straight away when the uncle's father was in prison. He opened the doors and released him and made him the king and came back. It was at that time that was came and decided to send Krishna to a salary for teaching him. Until then he had no education.

[01:22:53]Still see how gloriously he lived there.

[01:22:57]He did not grumble. I am a prince but I am not getting an opportunity to grow as a prince. He did not say or complain. As a shepherd boy he grew.

[01:23:12]As a coward boy he grew. And there there that growth was sufficient for him.

[01:23:35]very unusual.

[01:23:48]It is the same idea he had expressed earlier in the fourth chapter in the fourth chapter.

[01:24:07]So many births have taken place for me.

[01:24:11]I know about all of them.

[01:24:14]You don't know.

[01:24:18]See the inner presence in me is the same as the inner presence in all of you.

[01:24:29]presence.

[01:24:31]So relating to the inner presence, so many births have taken place. So many will also take place.

[01:24:39]The birth and death are in the bodily level. In the inner presence, it's all one. So all births are attributable to the same inner presence.

[01:24:50]This is the truth. Naked truth.

[01:24:53]One should understand it using the intelligence and proper introspection.

[01:25:05]So Krishna again is revealing the inner dimension of the humans.

[01:25:25]Let me stop. It's already time.

[01:25:31]Juru Puja Swami G has elevated us and made us understand what is it Krishna is exposing us to this universal dimension and more importantly Swami G has been telling us with so many examples how to understand it in our day-to-day lives as you all know Gurupima is coming up on 29th of July in the ashram after gurupima day observance on 29th of July on 31st afternoon the gurupima retreat will start both the programs of course would be livereamed over here now coming up next week on Tuesday is voice of the upanishads with nutan swami gi 21st July on 22nd July witness Today is Puja Swami G's Mallayalam Satsang Bhagwat Parajnam.

[01:26:35]On 23rd Thursday we will be with Mauru Priy Gi towards eternal peace and happiness and we'll be back here together with Puja Swami G next Saturday 25th July for the Bhagat Gita satssung Juru.

[01:26:53]See about guruima you already know nami also told you now this gurua has got something very special for the and necessarily for all of you namasura namda suruba she will be given syasa I will give her syasa all that day now is giving a syasa embracing syasa is an event that takes place in our asham after 34 years 34 years back I gave syasa to nutan swami gi ma after that there was no occasion for me to do it so after 34 years it this is happening it is a very consequential and very sublime and holy event in an ashum [clears throat] generally spam and it is a heridity that has to continue.

[01:28:04]I also represent a link in our tradition.

[01:28:10]I spend a little time to find out what is the age of our tradition. I think it will come to something like 200 years.

[01:28:23]I am perhaps the seventh in the link to the extent we know but there are so many links earlier also.

[01:28:36]So when namada will be given sasa it will be one more generation.

[01:28:48]Now after some time others also may and should take up. This syasa is something important for every human in this world because all humans are supposed to embrace sasa if they want to have a fulfillment in human life.

[01:29:11]The first is celibacy premaria.

[01:29:14]The second is kasa married life. to bring about children for the perpetuation of humanity. But when the children grow to something like 25 years, the parents are supposed to interest the children, the son with the family household and then take up vanaprasa the third order of life. If they are managing the vanaprasta very well automatically they will feel like taking syasa because it is in syasa you have the fulfillment of human life.

[01:29:52]Not only fulfillment, the desired growth, depth, loftiness, vastness, purity, sublimity and the crowning glory of fulfillment.

[01:30:09]So this sasa is equidistant for all people in this world.

[01:30:21]Everybody should understand what isa in a way they should also aspire to be a sasa.

[01:30:29]That aspiration at least should be there. They may or may not be able to embrace syasa but the aspiration should be there for all householders. So it is an event that is benedictory from every point of view. I just wanted to mention this. So this gurua is extremely important.

[01:30:54]It has a message for all.

[01:31:00]It has a great value and contribution to make to the entire humanity.

[01:31:08]Okay, I shall conclude the session.

[01:31:13][clears throat] Somebody Hurry, hurry, hurry.

[01:32:06]We shall have a conclusion as usual.

[01:32:10]After after that we shall part take your pose for it once.

[01:32:24]Oh.

[01:32:33]Oh.

[01:32:36]Oh.

[01:32:48]Hurry. Hurry. Hurry.
