Nisargadatta Gita
📚. Prasad Bharadwaj

🌻 35. When you know both the ‘I am’ and the ‘I am not’ then you are the Absolute which transcends both knowingness and no-knowingness. 🌻

As you abide in the ‘I am’ for a longer time you shall also realize the state of ‘I am not’ or there would be a state of ‘knowing’ and ‘not-knowing’. Both these states are states of consciousness in its purity; they are the very beginnings of duality.

The very arrival of the concept ‘I am’ implies the ‘I am not’ hidden in it or ‘knowing’ has ‘not-knowing’ implied in it, they are opposites, they are pairs and always go together and are impossible to separate.

But you are the Absolute which transcends both of them; you are a witness to both these states, they have only appeared on you, they never belonged to you and are illusory.

There are many miraculous deeds that Jagadguru Lord Krishna performed. 

We were talking about his miraculous deeds. Just as Lord Krishna stood by the Pandavas, the Jagadguru stands by his devotees as a mother, as a father, as a son, as a friend, as a relative, and constantly protects those who have faith in him. 

He enables and ensures that they walk the dharmic path. He ensures that his disciples have positive resolutions, that their minds are filled with good thoughts, that their minds are centered on God and stay pure. 

He ensures that the disciples do not have speech problems and that their words do not carry blame for others. He makes sure that whatever the disciples utter is pure. He ensures that the disciples earn the merit they deserve for their service. He does this, no matter what. 

That is why, in this Sloka, the Guru clearly explains that there is no one greater than the Guru, that there is no Principle greater than the Guru. Let’s suppose someone declared that he is giving away his wealth and even his children. 

Then, even though his wealth and children are given away, the feeling of “I” and “mine” are still with him. Some are only paying lip service saying, “Swamiji, you put Your foot in this house, this house is Yours”. 

It is clear that this is not the right kind of offering. You should surrender “I” and “mine”. 

There is the ego or the feeling of “I” due to which there is “mine” and “yours”. Whatever is impermanent, we refer to as “mine”. Whatever is permanent, the eternal state of bliss, the Paramatman, that is who I want to merge into. He is me and I am Him. 

They won’t even jokingly say “I am Him”. It’s always “Mine”, “My bank balance”, “My house”, “My goat”. The “I” and “mine” should also be surrendered along with the offering. He said, children, house, wealth are “mine”. 

He gave up everything related to “mine”, but kept the feeling “mine”. It implies that he can earn it back again after he offers it. I gave him whatever was mine. But, I didn’t give him the feeling of “mine”. So, there’ll be things I can call “mine” again. 

So, when you make an offering, you should offer the feeling of “I” and “mine”. That is the right kind of offering. “I am giving everything I have” would mean that you are giving all that belongs to you, but “you” are still there . 

If you say you are giving everything that belongs to you besides the feeling of “mine”, you are offering everything material that belongs to you. You couldn’t see the invisible “I” in you that you won’t offer. Because of that, you leave the door open to earning karma again. 

You are not offering the feeling of “mine”. If you did, you cannot do anything else. That’s the Guru’s command. Eating, swallowing, sleeping would all be the Guru’s commands. That’s it. 

There is no vow beyond this. That is why, saying “I am offering” is also not right. When you say “I am offering”, it implies that the recipient does not have the item you are offering.

🌻 By performing countless divine deeds to benefit the worlds, Lord Krishna became known in all the worlds as a Guru. That is why he’s called Jagadguru (Guru to all the worlds) 🌻

We discussed that Krishna wandered in Gokulam as a cowherd and displayed many miracles that left even the Gods amazed.

After each wondrous act of Lord Krishna, all Gods, all kinds of Gods came down to earth and sang and danced in joy. Lord Krishna’s miracles were myriad – he lifted Govardhana mountain with his little finger, he removed Indra’s arrogance, he received Abhishekam from Kamadhenu (the cow that gives whatever one desires) and became “Govinda”.

That is why, Lord Krishna very much loves milk. You also heard the story of Lord Venkataramana. He drank the milk offered to him while sitting in an anthill.

That is why milk is considered the nectar of Kaliyuga. When the creator, Brahma, had the cattle in Gokulam disappear, Lord Krishna displayed a bigger miracle and took the form of all the cows and calves in Gokulam.

Brahma himself came down and praised Krishna as the Guru to all the worlds. Krishna cured the residents of Gokulam of all their illusions. Good doctors first help surface the hidden ailments. We may wonder, “We came to this doctor trusting Ayurveda, but there are additional ailments I am now suffering from”.

But, after all the hidden ailments are surfaced, the doctor gives you the medicines to clean up your system. Similarly, what Krishna did was to first create illusion in the minds of everybody in Gokulam.

Then, he removed all their illusion, so that there was nothing else left inside. He did not stop at that. He taught them lessons in self-realization. From Gokulam, he came to Mathura and vanquished and killed Kamsa, who was a manifestation of ignorance.

He blessed lifelong devotees and parents Devaki and Vasudeva. It’s impossible to single out one miracle. There are countless. Bhagavatam is full of Krishna’s miracles. We can talk about Bhagavatam endlessly.

The Lord who was patiently biding time in Gokulam, came to Mathura and spread divine knowledge among his devotees to benefit all the worlds. Why are we repeating this over and over? So that we can remember it.

Krishna generously blessed Kuchela, who is also known as Sri Dhama. He blessed Sri Dhama with several boons. By performing countless divine deeds to benefit the worlds, Lord Krishna became known in all the worlds as a Guru.

That is why he’s called Jagadguru (Guru to all the worlds). He helped the righteous Pandavas. He became Geetacharya (the teacher of Bhagavad Gita) by blessing Arjuna, the third of the five Pandavas with Bhagavad Gita.

Today, Gita is known the world over. People that have recited or heard the Gita have undergone very positive transformations in their lives. Many of them have become Yogis.

So many have become rulers of their countries. So many of these rulers cite the Bhagavad Gita. This is an extraordinarily sacred scripture we are blessed with.

🌻 34. With the arrival of the primary concept ‘I am’, time began, with its departure time would end; you the Absolute are not the primary concept ‘I am’. 🌻

The ‘I am’ is the starter, the initiator, the very beginning of everything including time.

In fact all measurement begins with the ‘I am’ and all measurement including time ends with its departure. It is the primary concept on which is built the entire mansion of other concepts.

The knowledge ‘I am’ and space have appeared simultaneously and spontaneously on you, the Absolute, who stands apart.

We discussed that the term “Guru” is of utmost importance in one’s life. There is no one greater than the Guru. We also discussed that Guru is also Lord Krishna.

Let’s understand the qualities of the Guru through some stories of Lord Krishna. If compassion and sacrifice were to take a form, that form would become Guru. That itself is the divine form of Lord Krishna.

Wandering in Gokulam as a cowherd, Krishna displayed many miracles that amazed even the Gods. We’ll understand them if we read the Bhagavatam. Recently, Swamiji went to Mathura and Vrindavan for the volunteer camp with children from Sri Datta Humane Services.

There, I remembered a lot of Krishna’s childhood leelas. I recalled every incident. The songs from the Kannada Bhagavatam that revered Jayalakshmi Mata composed were ringing in my ears. Appaji was 5 years old when He went to Gokulam with Jayalakshmi Mata and the rest of the family.

Back then, it was not as chaotic as it is now. People used to always chant “Radhe” or “Radhe Shyam”. Not only that, they would serve milk, yogurt and food in every house. These days, they keep demanding money instead.

Back then, Jayalakshmi Mata wrote the song “Mathura Nagaravu…” after seeing the city where Lord Krishna grew up. I still cannot forget the song. I keep singing the song once a while. Even today, I remember the place where Lord Krishna grew up.

Nanda Gokulam, Govardhana mountain are all located fairly close to each other, about 16-17 kilometers apart from each other. Lord Krishna worked very hard. He worked very hard to uphold Dharma. Lord Krishna stood by every being, in every instance and in every situation as a Guru.

That is why, Sri Krishna is hailed as the best among the best and is the only one that can be called Jagadguru. Merely traveling to foreign lands doesn’t make one a Jagadguru.

Lord Krishna is worshiped as Guru in all the worlds, in the entire cosmos. Nowadays, traveling to 2-3 continents seems to qualify someone as Jagadguru. That is not correct.

Beings in all the worlds in the cosmos, from gods to Yakshas, Kinnaras and Kimpurushas, all worshiped Lord Krishna. That is why the Lord was Guru to everyone. He remained a Guru even in Golokam.

Taking on a body, discarding the body, Lord Krishna worked very hard. You will see this when you read his life history. All divine incarnations worked very hard. Didn’t the Lord work hard in Matsya (fish) Avatara? Appearing as a gigantic fish, he had to work very hard.

As Kurma (tortoise) Avatara, as Varaha (boar) Avatara, he worked very hard. Just when we thought that the Lord would not have to work so hard in a human form, he had to work very hard in his incarnation as Lord Rama.

And as Lord Krishna, he had to work very, very hard. As Guru to all the worlds, he wandered as a cowherd in Gokulam, displaying miracles and causing amazement to everyone including the Gods.

Sri Pada Vallabha Narasimha Saraswati
Sri Guru Dattatreyaya Namaha

Sloka:
Gukarassyad gunatito rupatito rukarah | Guna rupa vihinatvat gururuityabhidiyate ||

GU stands for one who is beyond the three Gunas or qualities. RU stands for the one who is beyond Rupa or form.

Guru is the personification of the Absolute without attributes and form. We should inculcate the feeling that all forms belong to the Guru. You should realize that the Guru is beyond all form, beyond all qualities and beyond time.

Sloka:
Gukarah prathamo varno mayadi gunabhasakah | Rukarosti param brahma maya bhranti vimocakah ||

The first syllable GU belongs to the three Gunas which are the cause of illusion. The second syllable RU stands for the Parabrahman that destroys the delusion caused by illusion.

Sloka:
Evam gurupadam srestham devanamapi durlabham | Haha huhu ganaiscaiva gandharvairapi pujitam || 

Sloka: 

Dhruvam tesam ca sarvesam nasti tatvam guroh param | Guroraradhanam karyam swajivatvam nivedayet ||

The term GURU is of utmost importance. The term is so important that it should be used only in specific situations.

We keep using the word Guru loosely. It is said that children should not be given the name “Guru”. It’s okay to join the word Guru with another word while christening the baby, but the name “Guru” alone should not be used.

These days, “Guru” has become a generic term we use to flag down someone in bus stations, train stations or restaurants. I have pointed out many times that the term “Guru” is a very holy mantra. It is “Gunatitam” – beyond all qualities. It is “Mayatitam” – beyond all form. This is beyond the comprehension of even Gods.

The songsters of heaven such as Haha, Huhu and Gandharvas (heavenly beings) respect this term the most; for there is no sublime concept even for them other than this. Hence, the Guru must be worshiped.

While worshiping the Guru one has to offer one’s life which means all that he possesses as a living being. In the same way, the feeling “I am the being” should be sacrificed and one should dwell in the state of eternal consciousness in the form of pure bliss This is what is called a total offering.

🌻  33. When this concept ‘I am’ departs there would be no memory left that ‘I was’ and ‘I had’ those experiences, the very memory will be erased.  🌻

The knowledge ‘I am’ is the very seed of memory and all information functions through it, it forms the basis of the mind. It is bound to tire out and hence there is sleep otherwise you would die if you don’t sleep.

But sleep is not the complete departure of the ‘I am’ it’s only held in abeyance and after sleep it gets refreshed and starts its activity again maintaining the continuity.

No wonder if your name is called aloud in sleep you wake up and respond saying ‘that’s me’! Physical death is the total departure of the ‘I am’ and nothing is retained.

For the ‘Realized One’ who has transcended the ‘I am’, memory and the ‘I am’ are available to him he may or may not use them, they are not ‘lodged’ in him anymore. Only the ‘Realized One’ can understand this state.

🌻 32. Understand that the knowledge ‘I am’ has dawned on you and all are its manifestations, in this understanding you realize you are not the ‘I am’. 🌻

Has this knowledge ‘I am’ come willingly to you? Was it volitional? In retrospect it doesn’t appear to be so.

There was that moment and you knew that ‘you are’ and thenceforth the feeling ‘I am’ went on getting strengthened.

‘I am so and so’ got embedded into you and the rest of the activities of your life followed.

From this, is it not conclusive that the ‘I am’ has created your world and not the other way around?

This ‘I am’ has dawned on you and you stand apart from it just as a witness with no participation in any of its activities whatsoever.

Chapter 38

✍️ Bhau Kalchuri
📚 . Prasad Bharadwaj

🌻 What A Punishment - 1 🌻

God is infinite and his infinity is indivisible. In the infinity of God everything and everyone is God, and nothing but God.

But everyone does not experience the infinity that makes one God, though, in actuality, the infinity exists within each one. To experience infinity, one must have unlimited consciousness, and until consciousness becomes unlimited one does not experience oneself as God, though, in fact, he is God.

Everyone is limited in consciousness by the sanskaric bindings of illusion, and until the bindings of illusory experience are wiped out, one cannot experience the Reality of Godhood. In the cosmic bubble of illusion we are bottled up. Each one keeps God bottled u p inside himself in the bottle of his own limited being.

Our bottles are made of sanskaric bindings and through our bottles we perceive illusion instead of God. God as INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS suffers, because he is infinite and we do not realize the infinit y bottled up within us.

What a punishment this is for God, the One who never punishes, but who endures all this silently. God is Infinite Knowledge, Infinite Power and Infinite Bliss, and his triune nature manifests as All Love, All Mercy and All Forgiveness.

Out of mercy he gets himself bottled up in human form for the purpose of imparting to man his divine Knowledge, and thus to free himself from that confinement which is our limitation. God takes human form to work. As he works universally he uses his Infinite Knowledge, but he does not employ his Infinite Power, nor his Infinite Bliss.

Because he uses neither his Infinite Power nor his Infinite Bliss while he works, he suffers continually. The Avatar takes upon himself the burden of the universe and w hile he is on earth he must shoulder this burden during the entire period of his work. The Avatar works for the universe using only his Infinite Knowledge.

This Infinite Knowledge is contained in the universal mind, so it is through the universal mind tha t the Avatar does his work. In the universal mind of the Avatar, all the limited minds are active. Since every individual limited mind is false, the minds of everyone are the universal burden the Avatar bears. Every limited individual mind is full of desir es and wants.

The sanskaric force of desire attracts the mind to an object; once that object is perceived the individual mind wants it. Each mind and the objects desired and wanted exist in non existence. But every mind asserts its own existence, and the e xistence of objects as well.

Because of this assertion the Avatar suffers, since every mind within his universal mind is pulling at him through its desires.

Part 70 - 2

You should not be proud. You must not be complacent assuming everybody else makes these mistakes too. Or you shouldn’t be nonchalant assuming the Guru has forgotten. That is why, the Guru only thinks about the disciple’s sins, not his merits.

The Guru will not think about your merits, the Guru will not praise you. If the Guru praises the disciple, the merits will diminish. If the Sadguru praises you for your work, your ego will be boosted and your work will be ruined.

You will not be able to do anything else. That’s why he’s always chiding you. Every time the Guru chides you, you should be ashamed and should correct your mistakes.

Once you get to the stage where you cannot leave the Sadguru, he will keep chiding you all the time. He knows you will never be annoyed.

If he knows right upfront that you will be annoyed, he will not chide you at all. He will leave you to your fate. Some people who don’t know this secret are disappointed when the Guru doesn’t praise them. They keep pestering him till he praises them. That is a huge mistake.

Doing something solely to win the Guru’s appreciation is also a mistake. You should work till you are satisfied with it first. “I cooked this well, with all my love and I am dedicating this to the Guru. It tastes good now. I should do better next time. I should do even better the next time”. I should do even better the next time”.

You should work day in and day out, with humility, thinking about it and wanting to do even better. If the Guru still finds fault after all the hard work, you should realize your mistake and fix it, but you should not be disappointed.

You should not say “I worked day in and day out, but my Guru didn’t accept”. You should be thankful that your ego was reigned in and you should work on correcting yourself. If the Guru doesn’t accept whatever we dedicate to Him, that is not good for us.

But, if He appreciates what He accepts, that is not good for us either. Understand this: If He doesn’t accept our offering, that’s not good for us. But, if He accepts and then praises us for it, that is also not good for us.

That is why, real Gurus some times chide you while accepting what you offer. They will say that you could have done better. Some people suffer from ego and disappointment after the Guru chides them.

Whatever has added-on to the basic and fundamental knowledge ‘I am’ has destroyed its purity.

Shred aside everything added-on and only remember the ‘I am’ in all its purity. You have to really get after it and for that you have to reside in it, dwell on it at all times.

In the process you will realize that the ‘I am’ is dependant and destructible and hence unreal, for the real is independent and indestructible.

🌻 The Imposter - 3 🌻

The impostors are now taking advantage of people's ignorance. Yet, they serve a purpose in the Avatar's work. They serve as trash cans! Their businesses serve as depositories of human trash and filth. In them, and their enterprises, people may deposit their trash and filth.

What is this trash and filth? It is nothing more than the human mind's residue of unnatural sanskaras.

There is a great danger in this, however. So long as one puts his faith in the impostor saint, the filth inside one goes into the trash can, which the impostor is.

But, if a time comes when one doubts the authenticity of the so-called saint, not only does the filth that one threw, deposited into the trash can comes right back unto oneself, but also some of the filth that other people deposited comes with one's own.

Suppose one has followed a so-called saint for a lengthy period of time. One day he realizes the man he is following is not really a saint, but a pretender posing as saintly, and has been deceiving him.

The follower decides to leave the false saint. But he does not leave free of his own sanskaric trash, because he has also collected some of the residue of other's unnatural impressions. After this, one is in a more unnatural sanskaric entanglement than when he began seeking spiritual guidance, which led him to that so-called saint.

Only the Avatar can help the masses following these false saints and false gurus, because he can cleanse them of the sanskaric filth that comes in contact with these impostors. This cleansing begins when people come in his contact, and it is completed as people follow him on the path of the spiritual life.

People have the inclination toward spiritual life today because of the inner work done by Avatar Meher Baba, the direct descent of God into human form. He is the Beloved of his lovers, and he will manifest in his lovers. There is no cause for impatience; he will manifest.

There is no need for Meher Baba's lovers to visit the saints and gurus. There is no way to know if they are real or posing. Meher Baba is in our midst; nevertheless, other people will seek out the saints and gurus, and some they will find to be real, and some false.

This seeking of the saints and gurus is a phase of the Avatar's manifestation. His work is finished; it was completed before Meher Baba dropped his body. Now the real lovers of God wait to see him manifest. He manifests gradually, but a time will come when he will be manifesting with great power and intensity. His lovers must wait and see.

If people's hearts do not accept Meher Baba now it does not matter to us. It only matters that we have accepted him and love him. Meher Baba is first manifesting in his lovers. లవ్ does not need any demonstration or show. It is a treasure to be kept secret from others.

Prayer should be the lighting of the lamp of love in our hearts, and this will allow the lamp of love to perform the prayer of the Beloved. This lamp cannot be seen externally; it bums within to consume in its flame all bindings, freeing the lover to become united with the Beloved.

Therefore, love Meher Baba and love so intensely that you forget your own self. There is no other experience for the lover to pursue. The true lover will experience Meher Baba's Avatarhood, his divinity, within his own heart during his manifestation.

We discussed that a real Sadguru will ponder over the disciple’s sins because the more he thinks about them, the more the sins diminish. We discussed that the Guru is the only one with such powers.

We also discussed a few analogies such as iron being exposed to fire and pounded on to make sharp implements, or gold placed in fire and shaped to increase its shine or the sculptor cutting and chiseling to sculpt a figure. That is why, the Guru doesn’t think much about the merit of the disciples.

Once the sculptor chisels the face of the figure, he doesn’t pay much attention to how it looks. People praise the figure half way through the sculpting, but he doesn’t give it much thought. He only sees its flaws.

Even after sculpting the figure completely, he doesn’t give much thought to the praise and appreciation he gets. He’s not satisfied. He knows what else needs to be done to improve the sculpture. But, the onlookers praising the work don’t know the flaws.

They praise, “How beautiful is this art !” The sculptor feels ashamed hearing this. He alone knows where the flaws are. The onlookers don’t know. The more they praise, the more he’s ashamed. Similarly, when the Guru praises us, we should realize our mistakes and resolve to set ourselves right.

Your thoughts should be along the lines of, “I should correct my mistake, I am ashamed, I am ashamed of what I did yesterday, I can’t even lift my head up in the presence of the Guru”.

Clearly you can envisage two steps in the process of self-discovery, the first one being the understanding of the knowledge ‘I am’ and abiding in it.

You must develop the strong conviction that ‘you are’ and stay there. What would happen then?

By and by as you abide in the ‘I am’ the second step would be to realize that you stand apart from the ‘I am’, you are free from it! You are not the ‘I am’ but its witness.

Thus abidance in the ‘I am’ and its transcendence is the key to the whole ‘Sadhana’ (practice).

🌻 The Guru doesn’t think much about the disciples’ merit. He’s worried only about their sins. 🌻

Sloka: 
Gukarascandhakarastu rukarastannirodhakah | Andhakara vinasitvat gururityabhidiyate ||

GU is darkness. RU is that which drives it away. As he drives away darkness, he is called Guru. RU is knowledge as well as light. 

When GU is driven way, only RU is left, only knowledge is left. In the previous two slokas, they talked about darkness twice. Why? Darkness also means sin. 

A true Sadguru always thinks about the sins of his disciples, because it diminishes as he goes on thinking about it. He has that power. The Guru doesn’t think much about the disciples’ merit. He’s worried only about their sins, “This disciple is getting corrupted”, “He’s committed these sins”, “He may suffer for this”, “Oh, he lied about this, he may be punished for this lie”, “He deceived someone just as expected”, 

“Oh, he deceived his parents”, “He deceived himself”. The Guru worries, “I thought he was such a wonderful child, thought he’d be set right, but he hasn’t been. 

How do I make him a better person?” Guru will not remember any good deeds. He will only remember the disciples’ sins and mistakes all the time. We may even be annoyed. “Why does my Guru always think of my mistakes? 

Why does he always point to them?” The more the Guru talks about it, the more he thinks about it, the more he reprimands us for it, the more he punishes us for it, the more the sins get diminished. The Guru is the only one with such power. Merely by thinking about our sins, the Guru is able to diminish the sins. But, we should not think about those sins ourselves. 

The more we think about our sins, the more they increase. So, when the Guru reprimands you for those sins, you should not feel bad about it. Guru remembers the sins so they can be diminished and wiped away. The sculptor pounds on the stone over and over again. 

The more he pounds and chisels, the better it looks. The stone shouldn’t think that just because it’s going to be worshiped in a temple, the sculptor should not cut and chisel the stone. It is only from repeated pounding that the sculpture sits in the temple as a representation of the divine, blessing us. 

If the stone had broken down after two days of sculpting saying it can’t take the pain anymore, they would have thrown away the unsculpted and broke stone. It would probably be used as a place to leave footwear on. What use is that sculpture? 

That is why the stone takes all the cutting and chiseling, gets carved beautifully and becomes Parabrahman once it gains a beautiful from. That is why the sculptor keeps pounding over and over again. The goldsmith repeatedly exposes the gold to fire to shape it. 

He burns it over and over again, and pounds it. To create sharp instruments out of iron, the metal is exposed to fire, thrown in water and pounded on repeatedly. Only when placed in fire will it become malleable.

Otherwise, it won’t. That is why, by reminding you of the sin and the punishment, the sin will melt away and you will have the realization to not repeat those sins in all lifetimes.

Nisargadatta Gita

🌻 29. In the absence of ‘I am’ nothing is required, the ‘I am’ will go with the body, what remains is the Absolute. 🌻

Before the ‘I am’ had appeared did you have any requirements or did you have any demands?

None whatsoever, all demands began with the arrival of the ‘I am’ and what is this ‘I am’? It is nothing but the essence of the five elements that make up the body.

The ‘I am’ depends on the body and is as transient as the body and will go along with it so none of them are true. What remains then? It is only the Absolute.

Chapter 37

🌻 The Imposter - 2 🌻

Spiritual life is not a show. The path of spiritual life has always been the path of desirelessness.

The Real Masters, the Avatar and Sadgurus, create true faith and love for God in their followers; and since they are perfect, the followers are led to God.

The artificial master creates an artificial surrounding to attract the masses, and he distracts them from God, rather than leading them to the Truth. The path to Truth is the simple, straight forward way.

Only a true lover of God can enter this path. Such a person has become detached from worldly practices, such as rituals and ceremonies. The path is not open to them who put on robes, meditate and repeat mantras mechanically, preach dogma, perform rites, and pose as if they are spiritually advanced.

The way of the path is made of love—not rituals; longing— not ceremonies; honesty—not orthodoxy; surrender—not teaching; sacrifice—not preaching; forgiving—not meditating; being divinely intoxicated - not repeating mantras.

The false gurus, false saints and miracle-workers pose, and thereby make their followers artificial, because they themselves are artificial. They are the false men of God!

They conduct lectures, meditation classes, religious gatherings, and produce a superficial spiritual atmosphere and the masses are attracted toward them. The tantrics and healers perform minor miracles and people flock to see their show, but they are magic tricks of sorcery.

Spiritual life is not a show. The path of spiritual life has always been the path of desirelessness.

How can one become desireless by putting on a robe in place of a suit? How can desirelessness be achieved by pursuing someone who performs miracles and giving him money? No such superficial renunciations can create a state of desirelessness.

To become desireless, one must become serious about achieving the aim of life. Once his aim is focused and the goal is clear, then the seriousness of one's purpose frees one

gradually from all desires, ambitions, wants, likes and dislikes. Then one can live for God, forgetting the world and all its falseness. Sincere people should keep away from these spiritual impostors. They are the worst hypocrites.

They pretend to be close to God, they have no hearts, no conscience. They talk about God only to satisfy material ends—name, fame, power and wealth. No matter how famous, no matter how powerful, and no matter how wealthy, they are impostors, for if they were real they would have recognized God when he was in their midst.

This is the Avataric age and because of the work done by Meher Baba, the whole world is gradually becoming inclined toward the spiritual life.

Simultaneously, the impostors have opened up their businesses and are performing their shows. This world￾wide inclination toward spiritual life is created by the Avatar.

Sloka:
Gurormukhacca samprapya devi brahmatma samvidam | Trailokya sphuta vaktaro devarsi pitr manavah ||

Those who attain knowledge “I am Parabrahman” through the grace of Guru, whether they are Gods, saints, manes (guardian spirits of ancestors), humans or anyone else, become unparalleled ones in all the three worlds. Such beings become Gurus themselves. We should realize this Principle.

The knowledge of such principle is obtained only through the Guru and nowhere else. Everyone has a Guru – the Gods have a Guru, Yakshas, Kinnaras, Kimpurushas etc., all have Gurus, humans have Guru, saints have Guru, all living beings have a Guru.

That is why they ask you to chant the name of the Guru. There’s a small insect, just like an earthworm that some of you may have seen. The insect lives in the soil and keeps tilling it.

There’s a fly that looks like a honey bee that’s got a very painful sting. The fly picks up the insect, places it in its dwelling and keeps poking at it. It’ll occasionally bring it some food to nurture it. The insect is always afraid of being poked. Living in constant fear of being poked, the insect is always thinking of the fly.

The insect is so immersed in thinking about the fly that it finally flies away like the fly, with the fly, with its Guru, with its mother, with its father. Similarly, by constantly chanting Guru mantra and meditating on the Principle taught by the Guru, one becomes Guru himself.

Contemplating on the syllables of the mantra and the meaning of the mantra is the next step up in meditation. That is why, they describe the meaning of the word “Guru” in the next 5 slokas. Let’s listen.

Sloka:
Gukarascandhakaro hi rukarasteja ucyate | Ajnana grasakam brahma gurureva na samsayah ||

Lot of people talk about GURU, but don’t really understand the principle of Guru. People explaining the meaning of the word GURU may explain the meaning of individual syllables, but they still are unable to grasp the Guru Principle.

That means they are unable to drive way the darkness. GU stands for darkness and RU stands for light.

So, light and darkness are in the word GURU. Undoubtedly GURU is the Parabrahman who swallows ignorance; RU indicates one who swallows darkness.

🌻 28. Prior to birth where was the ‘I am’? Don’t contaminate the ‘I am’ with the body idea, I as the Absolute am not the ‘I am’. 🌻 

What were you before you were born? Where was the ‘I am’? You were ‘Nothing’ and there was no ‘I am’. 

On this Nothingness of yours has the ‘I am’ appeared and it has got contaminated with the body idea. 

Now, through discrimination you need to undertake a decontamination procedure, free the ‘I am’ of the body idea, abide in it and transcend it, because you as the Absolute are not the ‘I am’.

🌻 The Imposter - 1 🌻

The Father of creation is responsible for his children. Even if the children do not obey him, do not respect him, oppose him, reject him, still the Father loves them, benefits them, and is forgiving.

The Avatar is our real Father and remains responsible for each of us whether we want his help or not. His help never fails to benefit us, because he loves us. The Avatar has worked to make it possible for humanity to accept him as the Real Father.

There are now many seeking spiritual guidance, like children who seek the help of their father. But if a person seeking help accepts it from someone who is not his real father, but who poses as if he is his father, then that person seeking help will surely fall along the way.

How can someone show another person the way to the goal, when he himself has not found it? That person is posing, and he poses because he has selfish interests that only serve himself, and not the persons whom he supposedly is guiding.

These impostors are the false gurus, false saints, the false holy men now to be found almost everywhere. Today there are many such impostors in the world; they arise in both the east and the west.

They call themselves saints of God, holy men, miracle-workers, healers; some even call themselves perfect masters or avataras. They are fakes, as fake as artificial flowers that have no fragrance. They dazzle, they entrance, they hypnotize, but they cannot lead you to God.

In the west, these impostors are like wolves who prey upon the lambs of the Father. In the east, they are like serpents, poisoning the hearts of the sincere. Ordinary people are far better than the hypocritical false men of God.

Throughout the world, such impostors are collecting large numbers of followers, deceiving the simple-minded religious people and the spiritually-naive. They are simple because they are deceived, and they are naive because they believe these fakes.

They are attracted to the artificial flowers, the howling of wolves, and charm of serpents. They have no experience of the inner fragrance of the real saints or Perfect Masters.

They do not understand the significance of the Avatar's silence, and the natural flow of his love and mercy. People are satisfied and content with the shows of attractive appearance, the howling of wolves before a moon, and enchanting movements of snakes.

Though large numbers become followers of these spiritual posers, there is no spiritual gain in following such impostors.

On the contrary, there is a spiritual setback, since these impostors are attached to illusion, though they pose as if they are men of God. These impostors only show their followers other pathways into further illusion, instead of the path toward Truth. The pathways into deeper ignorance are religious rituals, ceremonies, orthodoxy, intellectual pride, dogma, superstitions, creeds, and so forth.

These are a source of deepening ignorance. Such pathways do not increase one's knowledge of the Reality of God, or the experience of God.

Sloka:
Ananyascintayanto ye dhruvam tesam param padam | Tasmat sarva prayatnena guroraradhanam kuru ||

Those who meditate upon the Guru with no other thought will certainly attain Parampad (the blissful state).

So worship Guru in all faith and by all means. “Sarva prayatnena” indicates you should serve the Guru in various ways.

Serve the Guru in all the various ways there are to please the Guru, in all the various ways there are to serve him so we can be redeemed from our sins, all the various ways we want the grace of the Guru.

We should meditate upon the Guru whenever we have a moment. We should offer salutations to the Guru every time we see Him. You can never do enough salutations to the Guru. Even a lifetime of salutations is not enough. Worshiping the Guru through all lifetimes is also not enough.

That is why, you should worship the Guru in various ways possible thinking, “May be this will work well”, “May be the Guru will be pleased with this”, “May be the Guru will bless me if I do this”, while dedicating everything to the Guru Principle. Regardless of how extensively we decorate our Lord, we are never satisfied.

That is why we keep thinking, “May be we can place this diamond necklace on the Lord”, “May be this garland will look good”, “May be this color garland will look good”. We keep trying various decorations for our own satisfaction. But, we are never satisfied.

There is a small difference when it come to service to the Guru, though. In the former case, you are decorating the Lord with a lot of affection. In the case of service to the Guru, you should give up all affections and serve. That is why they ask you to serve in every way possible.

You can’t just try one method of service and exclude everything else. You should take everything into account. You should dedicate every small task to the Guru. You should think for yourself about all the various ways you can serve the Guru.

No one will tell you. You cannot say, “No one tells me, I don’t know how to serve the Guru”. Once you figure out how to please the Guru, you should try all the possible ways to continue to please Him.

The Guru will not be annoyed, he will keep blessing when you tell him, “I did this task”, “I did that task”. All we need is to please him. That is why, we should have a volunteer mindset. We should be self-starters.

We should analyze and think for ourselves. We should do everything we can. But, that doesn’t mean you show off in the presence of the Guru. You should not boast or pretend in the presence of the Guru, “That’s not a big deal, I can do that”.

He is always witness to what you are doing whether or not he’s physically present. He’s witness to what you are doing in your life. He knows what you’ve done in your past, what you are doing now and what you are capable of doing in the future.

That’s why, all you need is to serve the Guru without any other thought. You should have no other thoughts. You should not even have expectations of praise. You should just surrender. You should do your tasks and surrender them.

If the Guru praises you, it will boost your ego. When that happens, you should immediately realize and be ashamed. That is why you should be very careful.
