Guru Darisanam - Lesson 1 l Om Muruga Grace (OMG)

0:02 We spoke about two forms of education aparavidya and paravidya. Paravidya is the knowledge that is about God. It is the only knowledge that is a complete study complete knowledge of God. The only knowledge that is real s everything else is assa apuridya. Apara vidya is nothing but the study of everything else apart from God the creator however you want to refer to this entity the source of all lives the creator then we spoke about karmakanda and yanakanda karmakandanda is vanta which is out of action karma action

0:48 kandanda is scriptures so the vedanta out of action is called karmaka So all the things that we have experienced in the past like raiki and siddha yogam and yogam and gadam kalak kria yogum all of that comes under karmakandanda runes tarot cards all those things come under karmakanda is pure knowledge nana knowledge kanda scriptures pure knowledge about what about you the knowledge about us, who we are, who am I? It answers that question. When one understands who they are, they

1:33 understand everything about where they are. When one understands who I am, they understand who God is. Through you, you understand dam. So ma pitha guru dam through you you understand dam. Yeah. Then we spoke about there are three sources of knowledge. One is smuti and puranas. Is the knowledge that came from directly from God. It was heard by the rishies and written straight from God. is when you hear it from someone or you have done your research and then you

2:20 write your thesis is so it is not firsthand knowledge it is knowledge based on your research that the evidence you've collected of that particular subject ishmi puranas are stories stories that we tell children and people it's a very softer way of communicating like panchchantra softer way of communicating spirituality or the knowledge about God in a fun way that people can remember stories. So if I showed you a movie about this conversation that we're having, a three-hour conversation into a one and a half, even a 5 hour movie, you'll remember the movie much better than this conversation. But piranhas were not able to connect the entire recipe of the conversation because it cannot be

3:05 captured. Even words cannot capture. It just about scratches the surface. Understand that it is beyond words. But words are the closest thing that we have towards the communication from God which is through Vedas. So I'll give you something more where it came from like who wrote this. So Brahma taught his son Adurvana Maharishi eldest son the Brahma Sutrum the knowledge about God the knowledge about the divine source. He wrote it down into three parts. Ring Veda, sama veda, yajurveda and at some point with all the war and colonization and people infiltrating the

3:51 country and uh the the valuable valuable treasure of the country. This was not about India. This is about this was before that time before the British. This is about taking knowledge. Knowledge is the real wealth. When one has knowledge, he has absolute understanding of who he is and who everything else is. So that wealth was plundered. So some of the vedanta was disappeared. Right? Then Vasam Maharishi came around and collected whatever he could collected collect in his time and wrote the fourth compilation. It is he didn't write any of this. He compiled the fourth vea calling it advana and that's how the fourth vea came.

4:40 Now when you see the timeline this is not the first vanta that was written. This will come as quite a surprise for quite a lot of us who are in this field of learning. They were more spoken way before that. Hundreds of years thousands of years before that it was spoken. It was never written down. So no one really knows the full absolute source of where the vanta came. So we spoke a little bit about that and then we tapped into how to study vant how to study vanta because it is a vast subject. It's a huge topic. It is a topic that is it'll put our understanding of this this world this life that we perceive as life upside

5:26 down. It'll question every thought. It'll question every word. It'll question every action. So then how do we study this? Because it is not something that we read like mathematics or physics or English literature and understand. It is much more than that. So how does one study the vanta we spoke about through shraanam manam and listening inquiring and contemplating. So listen to the knowledge, take it in. That's why we started reciting the Vedas in the group so that one can listen to it. At this stage you don't understand what it means. Some of you do. But when listening to the knowledge, you are taking the knowledge in. You are sitting with that vibration. You're sitting with that contemplation of whatever you've heard so far. You're inquiring the

6:14 questions that you have. Doubts until you don't have any doubts. Absolutely zero doubts. That mind should not be left with any doubt. So whoever is the one who's conducting it for you, that is the person that you can ask the doubts to and clear your doubts. The knowledge holder. Okay? Contemplate on the knowledge that you received. When you contemplate your actions, your thoughts and your deeds will come into new light. The light of pure dharma. And that is what dharma is. We will cover dharma. We will cover. We'll cover karma. will cover moka. Okay. The only reason we are all here is because we all have moka the desire of moka. A lot of us don't understand what is

6:59 that word even mean right? So the desire of mti and moka is the reason we are here. But to understand mti moka one has to understand dharma karma ata and moka. It comes in it's not in order but it you have to go through this. This is the face of life. You have to go through this face of life. If you're born in this life as a human being. Then we spoke about what is this body. This is quite an interesting conversation we had. We said we'll take parts of our body. We'll put it aside. We were all shocked to think that the body is not us. Then we spoke about the mind. We realized that the mind is also not us because the mind has its own game going on there. It is a hankara

7:48 uh buddhi chitta and manas. So this manas is is entangled between the body and the mind is waiting patiently waiting in observation for that mind to give in to the consciousness for that body to recognize that it is not the box for that aankara to realize itself that it does not need to protect itself anymore through the ways of its protection. the ways it does, the way it protects itself through shame, guilt, anger, frustration, all of those emotions is coming from aankaram. So only aankara makes a person feels sad. If you're in sadness, in

8:35 frustration, in guilt, in shame, if you are angry, you're in fear, this is all aankara's faces. Ashtakmi, she shows like this. When you recognize her, you you overcome. But when you get become her, when you become her identity, you become you become that. You become fear, you become anger, croda. So you are reacting, your language becomes that, your thought becomes that, your action becomes that. And that's how we become prey to these maya. Maya is illusion. Pray to this illusion. We also understood this body is a decaying component. It's constantly decaying. We're a sack of stinky bones.

9:20 That's what we are. Remember this part because the question that I'm going to ask you towards the end of this will we'll cover all of this in some point. You'll need all of this to know who it is, what it is. Okay. Then we spoke about the four parts of the mind. The consciousness, the intellect, the memory and the ego. Anankara and how they operate and all those type of things in detail we spoke about this we want to bring into light where mind though there are four parts it is actually only two parts it's actually only two parts one is governed by aankara the other is consciousness manas

10:08 because whatever is aankara is doing is what gets captured in the memory. Whatever this Aankara wants to do, say if it wants to buy a BMW, the intellect will do all the calculation of how to buy that BMW in a dharmic way. There are only two parts. This will come, we will cover this in lesson three more detailed. But when we clear aankara, we start clearing the memory cache cache memory of the chitta. We starts purifying. Probably by now in the last four weeks it's already started happening. You're starting to look at things from a different perspective. You're starting to analyze things from a very different perspective. You're thinking, you're asking yourself

10:54 where is this thought coming from? Is it coming from my anankar? Is it coming from my buddhi? Is it coming from my chitta? So like that your casual memory of your chitta will get cleared up. Memory will get cleared up. Your intellect will start sharpening. It will start taking decisions towards the moka. It will not take decisions on the temporary like I have this itcha of being the richest person in my in my town in village or in my city or I have this itch of wanting to uh have a apartment in that skyrocket skyrise building in New York City. It will slowly start moving away from this the desires of material life and more starts moving into a moka. Moka's liberation

11:40 the desire of liberation to be free to not be entangled with material world material relationships. Okay. I want to be married. This is also part of this material world. This is a beautiful explanation to marriage. It'll mindblow you when it when we come to that chapter. It's not in this class though. Just giving you a little teaser. So don't leave before that. The reason why we take birth, so there are four parts of the mind. The reason why we take birth, this human birth is because of that aankara. If that aankara was not there, birth would not happen. If you don't remember any of these

12:27 things, it's fine. Just remember one thing attachment is the cause of rebirth. Death is not we have death is not what we need to worry about. Attachment is the cause of rebirth. So what is attachment? The ego attaches itself to fear. It attaches itself to anger. It attaches itself to desire of materials, desire of people, desire of things family house country. is it it is too intricate to go into how much how much the anankara's desire plays. There is desire within desires. So if you contemplate you sit back and contemplate lie on the ground look at the sky and contemplate and you will get all the this intricate things details about your own ancara.

13:14 What one zahankara is will be so unique to the other zahankara extremely intricate complex advanced and the more you observe this the more wiser we become and here we spoke about who is a monk who is a syasi who is a sadhu okay sadhu is a wise person sadhu is an alert person what is he alert of what is he careful Okay. So all of us here who are learning, we're learning to become a sadu. A sadhu is nothing but a wise person who can call him a monk or a monk or a syasi. But the way they show a monk where they wear the robe and all that that is not that is not what we referring to here.

14:01 We're referring to a person who's renounced himself or herself. So what is that we have to be careful of? What is that we have to be alert about? Likes and dislikes. It's a major one. It comes in every Veda speaks about every Vanta speaks about likes and dislikes. Every Vanta speaks about truth and untruth. Pretty much this is what we're learning. A sadhu is very careful and alert about their ego, their how it shows up. It tricks you. The mind tricks you. It's been programmed and built lifetimes after life.

14:49 It's been building. So the pattern is not from this jma alone. Many many many lifetimes of patterning. And it is not just our patterning as well. It is our entire lineage patterning. Our mothers, our grandmothers, our dads, our grandparents, uncles, aunts, everyone's patterning is embedded in this manus in this mind. So sadhu is careful of their ego, of their mind. When one becomes careful of their mind, then one is neither sad nor happy. They're just aware. They're just aware. And when you're aware, you are in bliss. You're not chasing happiness after that. You're

15:34 ecstatic. You're in bliss because you're laughing at pain, you're also laughing at uh pleasure. That is what a wise person. That is what a wise person becomes. He accomplish or she accomplishes that state of being beyond the mind. Beyond the mind. Okay. All right. Then we spoke about MTI moka. What is mti? MTI is to be free here. So as you're learning about yourself, you are becoming free about your own understanding about self. Now you don't care whether you put on an extra few pounds of weight. You don't care for a lot of things. You know, you start responding to your truth. the outside

16:21 convincing the outside world of what you are holding your identity is starting to slowly dissolve and change itself. So that is MTI. You're free of the hassle of wanting to look a certain way, wanting to have a certain identity for the society that you are in. Moka is complete liberation. is like there is no other. In the Bhagat Gita I read something I think chapter 12 I am in everybody and everybody is in me that is liberation which basically says if you are upset with someone else outside of you you're upset with yourself. If you're happy with people if you're happy with the environment which means you are happy with yourself. So then there is no difference between the

17:07 other and you you become everything become your you are being atman. Your ja is starting to behave become atman. When you are in atman at that consciousness you are not dead to become get moa. Mind you, people have this concept at least our generation before has this concept that liberation is for people who are who die and then they learn to become liberated in the end of their lives when they their rip old age of 65 60 that's when they start learning this. But picture this when you're walking around and you feel liberated understanding that you are everyone. Everyone is you. And whatever you're

17:54 feeling within is what you're putting out. And whatever you're putting out is what is reversing back in. And there is nothing to hate outside. And if you're able to find yourself to become liberated from that, you are liberated. You have become, you've achieved, you accomplished liberation here while you're alive. Who is getting liberated? Manas doesn't need liberation. Manas is liberated already. Say you're watching television. Okay, we're watching a movie. We're watching a massive screen. The screen that is playing the movie is consciousness. It is you.

18:40 But the movie that is getting played is the chitta and aankar. Are you able to see your manus while the movie is playing while avatar the movie is playing? The story is playing with full 3D effects and fivedimensional sounds and everything's happening. Are you able to see the consciousness? We are so full of ourselves, right? We're watching so involved in the story. That's how we are living our life. The one who is aware that they are the screen and not the story in the screen is the voiceless the liberated one. Then we spoke about Baba G's mantra because some of us here we were like ah but what about Baba G's he's an immortal

19:25 being. He spoke about immortality and u and have we seen anyone has anyone of us seen Baba G in person? No, we haven't. So then the mantra from Babai. So it is the reason why we take birth the desire to getting moka. When we are born we forget everything and then ka comes because we have to train the body we have to train the mind. When we doing any physical sadena it is actually to train the mind. Gada, shar sadena, any sadena, any physical sadena is actually for the mind discipline to bring in the discipline so that we are aware who we are what we are

20:13 so that when knowledge is placed in this when knowledge is placed in this mind it is able to actually take it in that discipline. A mind that is not disciplined will not be able to take the knowledge which is it cannot hold the knowledge. It will spill everywhere. Discipline is spirituality. The mind that is disciplined is cleaning their vessel is cleaning their cup to receive the knowledge of Ishwara so that they can access that knowledge of purity for which we train the shar. We are actually not training the shar we're training the mind. But the sharira on the other hand becomes a healthier shar. It is a vessel that holds. It's like driving your car

20:59 getting it sending it for maintenance. Who is doing all that? The mind is doing all that. So same way when the mind is getting disciplined the shar will naturally be in order. All this is about who am I? I'm not the body. I'm not the mind. And then we spoke about spirituality. is to be able to converse with God. Have a communication with God. Can you think about my wife when you haven't seen my wife? I can't think about my own wife because I don't have one. So when we can't think about someone who we have not seen or met, how can we think about God? When we look at the scriptures and we talk to the people,

21:46 they say, "Think about God. always be in his thoughts, always be in the thoughts of grace. But for a lay man, someone who is minding a shepherd or a cow herd or a person who's sweeping the streets, who does not have much of a u education, how will they understand this? If you take them to a church or a mosque or a temple and say this is God and you talk to them, they'll be like, "Oh, okay. This is what God is. But will the statute talk back to them? Spirituality is when you're able to converse directly with the teacher for which we all need a a guru. So if you are uh taking a a bus from A to B, you

22:34 need a driver to drive that bus to go from A to B. Considering B, destination B is where God is and destination A is Buloka. So this this driver, this one who shows you the way, takes you along the way, the GPS, it needs to be a guru. So I asked you a question. You guys will meet your guru this month. Have you met a guru? Have you met the guru yet? The only task you had was to recite with them and find the guru. Everyone did good reciting with them. Have you found the guru? Did you see the guru? There will be a guru. There'll be guru in your house. You just have to go through and look at the literature's carefully somewhere in your home. They will be the guru will always be there in

23:21 everyone's home. I am there in everyone's homes parts without your awareness. There is guru is there in your home. Look at the attributes of the guru. And this is the question that I wanted to ask you which was referencing back to the recap earlier. The eight guru lakas actually there are 120 odd guru lakas and they are from the sources are from almost every vea is talking about this but we have not deciphered it and understood it as such. So we'll talk about the guru aas. We'll talk a little bit about the mortal guru and the immortal guru. Okay. And then we'll dive into the vedum and we'll talk about each verse and uh get the meaning of each

24:08 verse. He is immortal. He doesn't have birth or death. He's everywhere. He can be in mind. He can be in literature. He can be in um so everywhere. Right? One who is born on paper womb possessing a sacred body. A womb made out of paper which is what a book scriptures are in a form of a book. So the his body is so pure is clean. The knowledge is so pure and clean that is

24:55 his body. One who is beyond the five elements. So he doesn't need to rely on the five elements bumi jalni accasha and parah. So he's not relying on the five elements of earth, water, fire, air and space. One who is unchanging yesterday, today, forever who is indestructible. He never changes. 100 years after we go back and look at the guru, he still is same. Does not change what he's saying. Saying the same verses, saying the same message over and over again. Thousand

25:42 years after also it will be the same. Thousand years ago was also the same. One who is both night and day. Um, so so he's awake day and night. He's awake day and night. Whether you need him at night, middle of the night, you need something and you need to talk to him, you need to get guidance, he's awake. He's available. He's available throughout the day. He does not have breath in his nostrils. Person who does not breathe. One who free from disease, aging and death. Immortal

26:33 one who is beyond hunger, thirst and sleep. So the first line of every verse the primordial source of source is the guide. Vedas are the body of the guru. The description and the explanation of the Vedas vantam are his words to us. This is the guru. Now question, if this guru is immortal, what about all the mortal gurus? The lakshanam of a guru is coming from the Vedas. Okay, this is not coming from my teachers or

27:18 me or it's all coming from Vedas and it's been referenced as well. It's from Rigu. It's written in the riga. It's written in Bhagat Gita. It's written in Turandam. It's written in all the Vedanta's Vedas. The Lakshinam of Guru. We've only taken eight. There are over 100 taken attributes of the guru like this. What has happened is in due course of time the people who are reciting the knowledge like Rajan is reciting the knowledge from the Veda. Rajan is not the guru. Rajan keeps correcting the people looking at Rajan whose words are coming from Vanta. I am using the words of Vanta to talk to you. It is not coming from Rajan. So people have entrusted their faith and

28:06 devotion and their respect towards a human form is not permanent is belongs to the five elements. Reliant he or she is reliant on the five elements. He's got a breath. It is not born from a paper womb, from a biological womb, a decaying womb. A human is constantly changing. He's not available day and night. If he's available in the day, he's different and he's available in the night, he's different again. It's not the same. He's constantly changing based on the five elements. But what whatever panchutas are doing, the guru is also adhering to those physical guru, mortal guru, right? What we call a mortal guru is adhering to those.

28:51 Vedanta says the Vedas are the true guru. A guru of immortality, a Veda is the true guru. Anyone else in a mortal form who comes and says that they are a guru, Veda says to go away, far away from them. They not a true guru. They're not guru at all because they are not the body. They are not the mind. Now is it adding up? If you're not your body and you're not your mind, what is the difference between this other person who's a body and mind who's not them and proclaiming themselves to be the guru? It's a controversial thing, but take it in. And this is when you ask questions

29:37 because we've all had physical mortal gurus and we've all followed them and we've all been devoted and committed to them. We are learning to tap directly to the guru so that we can have direct communication with God. Actually after today you'll be able to talk to the guru yourself directly. The verses talk to you. The meanings of the verses open up slowly slowly when you give it time and when you're a patient and you truly surrender truly have faith sha the starts talking to you. It communicates to you exactly what you need to know when you need to know in the present current situation that you're in. The one who is practicing the

30:23 teachings is the one who has renounced himself. So the question goes back to who is a monk? who's a sadhu, a careful person, an alert person, a person who's renounced themselves, not their capitalistic lives, not their uh family, their jobs and their children and their property and their wealth and their desires and ambition. A person who's renounced themselves. So even in the monastery, if you find a person who's renounced themselves, have they renounced They renounce the things from themselves but they have not renounced themselves. The one who renounced themselves does not need to be away

31:11 because it's here. The monastery is inside you. It's in your mind. A twin that is born to a couple. And the parents decide we'll send one kid to uh gurl one kid to the school and one kid will keep at home because they couldn't afford to send both the kids to school. Twins absolute mirror image like you can't differentiate their intellect everything their minus everything is exactly like two peas of a pod. So one kid goes to school, one kid stays at home, helps around the house. 6 months passes by. Which kid do you

31:57 think would have more intelligence? If asked to speak, if asked a question, which kid would have more analytical skills? The one who went to guru, one who went to knowledge towards knowledge or one who went towards one who stayed at home? Just concentrate. Think for a moment. A month ago, we were all sitting around and doing our own thing, minding our own business and living life the way we were living. Suddenly, we were introduced to Vanta knowledge. Just a micro drop came and fell into our palette. Suddenly we woke up and we started looking at our life differently just in the last month. Started looking

32:43 at our life differently. started thinking differently, started understanding who's at the job doing the thinking, what is his body. Before that we were ignorant. After knowledge come wisely. So clearly the person who went to gurum who went towards knowledge, the child that went towards knowledge will be able to take and speak the knowledge clearly. The one who was at home will not be able to share and speak about the knowledge. Will not understand it. do not even know what this knowledge is about. Any knowledge talking maths, physics, science English gardening doesn't matter. So in 6 months time all of you here that I'm looking at will be able to speak

33:31 about any verse from any vedanta book whether it is the Bible or the Quran or the Bhagat Gita or theamand any verse from any scripture you'll be able to read it and decipher the truth behind what it is saying just with the six ments of knowledge that you're gathering. All we are learning is how to understand and read the verses clearly as it is supposed to be without misinterpreting it. After that you can go and read. I'll tell you when it's time for you to go and read your own scriptures. It will open up an entire corridor of wealth of knowledge, pure bliss, pure

34:19 liberation. We went to school. We went to classroom. We were calling our maths teacher. Math's teacher Honduras. But is that math teacher teaching from his intellect or he's teaching from a book? So isn't that Matt's book? That is the teacher, the real teacher. The one who is reading and dictating from the book is it's not coming from his mind. All of the gurus that has come before us have written literature. They've written the Vedas. We've written bashas explanation commentary wrote 14 bashas maybe more but he took some very beautiful texts and he wrote the understanding commentary because the text was so complicated that after a certain yoga people were not able to get

35:06 what the vedas are talking about. So he wrote basha commentaries this is what they're trying to mean so that people can relate to that that basha is the teacher that is the guru that is the asan that is that reverent father not shankra shankara gi like you and I are was a mortal being who did his work and he's left the guru behind for us that is the guru we are following give you another example There is a picture of all of the gurus from before us. St. Anthony, Gabriel, St. Gab, Muhammad, Moses, Jesus Christ, Krishna,

35:52 Allah. Put in a few more names. Shiva, Shankara Shankara Bergen Agata some pagan teachers as well. And then suddenly the one boy, the same twins, okay, one boy who's at home is praying to all of these people. Please guide me the way. Please help me through this life. Please do this. Please do that. And the other boy he gets given a a a a Veda book a Bible or any scripture any scripture of the Veda and he's reading the book for 6 months. Which one will have knowledge? Which one will have clarity and understanding of

36:38 life? They left it very clearly. They've written it down and left it for us. We have just been ignorant all this time thinking that the gurus are people who have gone. They are revered people. I'm not saying don't respect them. Respect them. But the the teachings that they left behind is the teacher, not their photographs. We tapping into Babai's energy. Babai is this Babai that I want to do Sava for Baba G. Babai doesn't want Sava. He's an immortal being. What sort of sava can we do to an immortal being? We are a decaying object. What sort of sava can you do to aless timeless being

37:25 like the vanta? The only sava we can do we spoke about this. The only sava we can do and the true sava is to share the knowledge of vanta. Once we have acquired the knowledge, once we have fully acquired the knowledge and fully understood the knowledge, we try in every corner to share the knowledge of vanta and that will be the true sava to a of this mortal life. What Babai was teaching was the vanta. That's all he was teaching. He didn't have to write anything. He didn't want to write anything more because it was already written. Everything is written. So he was he was

38:11 able to teach the Veda that's all he was teaching. But at some point he had realized that people were not ready to receive this knowledge. So that's why the mantra it so it understand desire finish all your desires bucket list of desires go the opposite direction. do the things, fall down, get up. You've got to be sick of your desires and then finally come to the desire of kria. Kria is action. Start participating in things that you need to action, discipline, learn the arts of discipline. And when you go through all of that, it'll at some point it will turn you towards nana.

38:59 The part of nana yoga baba didn't teach. She only thought very few that were worthy of and we can't keep chasing Babai because that will become another illusion of an imagination. Babai itself is saying that the teacher is the teachings. Why is there we don't call guru Baba G? Isn't there a clear message that he's trying to say? There are so many babas across. Baba means uh Baba is like uh someone who's a sadhu it's called a baba. Someone who's a sage or a monk is called a baba. Most people will call each other baba only. It's like calling people do in the states it's a similar way.

39:46 So he didn't take the form of a guru there. He constantly pointed the teachings are the the teachings are the teacher and not the person. As mortal ignorant beings we always like to see the shining shield of the armor of the person was showing like if I'm showing the book you're not looking at the book you're looking at this person but the knowledge is here that's like this is the guru and then you're looking at say this is the guru you missed this one completely. So that's what ignorant beings do. So now we're coming out of ignorance and we recognizing that this is not the teachings are the teacher guru

40:31 okay we go into the verses there's some exciting news in there so much information because whatever I'm saying is still Rajan talking right but Rajan is talking to Vanta when we read the verses and when we transcribe the verses you will get the direct knowledge into you then it is like knowledge is talking to Assan is talking to you. Guru is talking to you. Direct communication. Okay. We spoke about this one. The primordial one is the guide. Who's the primordial one? The source of all knowledge. The creator Godant. The Veda is the body of the teacher of

41:17 the guru Assamuas. The explanation of the Vedanta is his words is his guidance. We all do charity work. Want to start a community. We want to start a uh charity fund organization. Rotary club. Lions Club. We want to raise funds for tsunami. We raise funds for uh poor children in Nepal to build school. There is no greater charity than the than Vanta than Vam.

42:02 Understanding the Vum and sharing the Vum is the greatest charity. It's the greatest Sava a being a human being can do. There is no vanta is the true dharma. It's the true morality is the true absolute. There is nothing greater. There is no greater dharma than the vanta. So when one learns and understands the vanta and he share he or she shares that knowledge the truth of that knowledge is the truth of dharma. So here your question on dharma is answered. Dharma the only dharma in this mortal life is vanta.

42:52 Everything else is setting aside argumentative logic was attained liberation by reciting the rich and complete Veda. Tarkadam is arguments. So the wise ones recited the Vedas and found liberation of their true selves who they are. So the tawadan the argument is avoided to recite the Vedas. So the whole time you're listening and reciting

43:40 Vedas you're avoiding adharma. Now do you understand why I said recite it, listen to it. So I listen to all of your Vedas. That whole time I'm avoiding. There is no there is no argument with anybody. Now you will think Rajan I don't argue with anybody. I'm half sasi already. What are you saying? I'm monk already. Like I don't argue with anyone. Hear what the Veda is saying. This comes later on in lesson but you guys are quite advanced so I'm sharing it now. The argument is not outside of you. The argument is inside of you. The argument between the chitta and the manus. The argument

44:25 between the chitta and the aankara. We are arguing within ourselves. Do I choose this dress or do I choose this dress? Should I write PhD or should I not write PhD? Should I eat chocolate or should I eat salad? That is tawadam. So when we start reciting the vedum, we don't have time for we don't have time for that argumentation within the mind. When we don't have time for that argumentation, we are reaching the knowledge of God which through which we are reaching God. This verse was written by theam

45:10 but the same verse has appeared in different different vedas and in yajurueda. It is natural for the mind to want to know which Veda is saying that the teacher is not a human being. So it's been referenced I'll read the translation that's given here as well. The primordial one is my refuge. Ved is the sacred form of the guru. The explanation of the Veda is their divine utterance. There is no dharma apart from the Veda. All forms of righteousness that can be chanted are within the Veda. All forms of righteousness that can be chanted. So all the dharma that you could actually utter and say is within the Veda. Setting aside argumentative logic, the

45:58 wise ones attained liberation by reciting the rich and complete Veda. This is the Vic utterance that is the sacred form of the V. So this word will come in every lesson. Okay, remember this word n a v u nav means tongue like there is nothing greater in this world than your tongue why when we start talking there's nothing greater in this world

46:44 me I what I want to say it has to be heard so the snabu is so important. So who goddess Saraswati? Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge. So the Gaitri mantra that we chanting is Saraswati only. No. Yeah. So it is to invoke Saraswati. So who Saraswati? Saraswati is the goddess of wisdom, knowledge and wisdom. So the Veda is saying There is nothing bigger than this tongue of yours. The is saying that the goddess of

47:30 knowledge and wisdom is residing in your tongue. Henceforth extend your tongue and widen your tongue so that can reside in your tongue by practicing the Vedas. Henceforth exercise your tongue by reading the Vedas because when you're reading the Vedas these words that this vocabulary that you're reading right though it's a language you don't understand what you're reading but it is tapping into

48:17 all the dimensions of your tongue where kalwani resides where the goddess Harrisi resides so that the words that you speak are the words of God words of wisdom words of truth even in the conscious by no means you will speak ill of other will you anger will you bring pain through your words through your tongue it's in Bhagavan's ita it's in God's desire that you use your tongue to read the vanta exercise your tongue so that the goddess of wisdom and knowledge can come and reside in your tongue this is this knowledge Knowledge is the

49:03 form of God through the verses. So in the last line is basically God signing off his name saying that with love and regards God is with love and regards God. Yours lovingly God through the okay this verse will speak in every class. In every class, lesson two will have a different dimension. Lesson three will have a different dimension. Four, five, six, the meaning will keep changing and hence what you read will not be exactly the same what you read after 6 months from now. You'll have a depth of knowledge of information. That is why you need to go

49:50 through these lessons so that you can pick up a Veda book and read and actually get the truth of the knowledge based on all the dimensions that you learn. Okay? Until then just wait. Don't start reading uh Vedas. Wait, gain knowledge. Practice these words. Practice this practice. Understand what you already learned and then you can you'll become equipped to read your own. I'll let you know when it's time and then you can go and read. After two years, my teachers asked me to read. Here in this translation it says she dwells within a white lotus flower. Who

50:37 dwells in a white lotus flower? Which goddess? Goddess Araswati Gaitri Dvi resides in a white lotus flower. This one was written by uh Baratiar who's a great poet and a freedom fighter and a theologist and wrote some beautiful verses and this is one of them. So means white is lotus. But if you separate the word tal means tal is paper mar is scripture. This is why people have lost understanding how to decipher the meaning of the words.

51:26 Okay. So he's describing the Va as the flower of knowledge. So Vina is an instrument that they play it makes music sound. So the words that comes out of this white flower lotus which is the peda. The words that comes out of this lotus is sweeter than the sound of the wina because when you're reading the verse when you're reading the vanta what is coming out you're singing it. So the sweet sound of vanta is sweeter than the the sound of the instrument vina that the goddess

52:14 Sarasati plays on her white lotus. The bliss and the joy that you feel in your heart when the reciter is reciting the Veda is is so much that she resides in their hearts. When you're reciting when we are reciting the Veda the bliss and the joy that the reciter is feeling is because she comes and recites in the hearts. the recer. So the one who understands the meaning and the truth and and is reciting with

53:02 that purity and authenticity by knowing the meaning. She will always be the light to show them the way. She will she will sparkle as light through the Vedas. So until now you didn't know the meaning and you reciting. Now you learn the meaning and recite. Okay? Whatever corrections here I'm doing it as we go. This translation that's given here is pretty close approximate but some of the things will not be close because it's more than words. It's how you see the words.

53:49 So she is the very inner meaning of the words of compassion spoken by the pure sages. Who are the pure sages? Calamtra means the one who is pure or the one who does not lie, steal. They don't know they're pure, innocent. Munal is rishi sages sadhu. Who are the sadhus here? Us. The ones who are reciting with purity in our heart are the sages that she will give compassion and inner truth and inner meaning to the words and verses. Does that make sense? So a sage not necessarily has to wear saffron clothing and wear big nam like this like this. Sage can look like you and I as well.

54:36 It comes to the honesty, the truth and the authenticity and the purity of the intention of what is that they bring forth in the recitation of the Veda. That's it with love and kind regards yours lovingly Godrishna. is from the Bhagat Gita. It means Krishna is saying that I am residing in everyone's hearts. So today everyone look go through your

55:24 house and find God, find a teacher, find the guru in your house. There will be a Bible. If not for a Bible, there will be some sort of uh spiritual book which will speak about God. There will be some sort of a picture on the wall which will have a message on the wall, a profound message on the wall. So the teacher is always there. You just have not noticed it. We just have not recognized that it's the teacher. Okay. I'm residing in your hearts, in your houses. You just have not seen me.

56:20 Means it is from me. Bhagan Krishna is saying it is from me. It is from D that you get memory of what to do, what not to do, how to do, how not to do of everything. It is from me, it is from D. You get sorry uh Ari intellect. How to figure out a way to do solve this problem? how to figure out a way to conclude this this chapter. Maradi is forgetfulness. Completely forgetting and going blank about something is also his doing.

57:06 So I am the one who creates you to remember things. I'm the one who creates you to think of a solution in most intellectual way. And I'm also the one who tells you to forget, gives you the makes you forget things. So if you've forgotten everything, it is also my dream. So he says not to be attached with any of these things, not to be feeling upset that you've forgotten. Not to feel not to be feeling excited and great and you know pompous that you remember something and not to feel taking credit of everything that you feel that you've done and accomplished is yours because he has given Krishna has given all of this to us. It is through all the vanta whether it

57:52 is the Bible, the Quran, uh the uh Jewish text, the Egyptian text, the Mesopotamian text, the Vantaas, the scriptures of the Vedas, the Hindu texts, the Bhagat Gita, the pagan text, all of the texts are talking about to get to know me. means all Vanta all of the Vanta he's capturing everyone every single Vanta not just the Hindu text okay not just the Hindu text or the sanata dharma text he's talking about all vanta if you actually go into sanata dharma sanata dharma belongs to sanata dharma dharma

58:39 of all human beings it doesn't belong to a religion belongs to all human beings so same way All texts are talking about how to get to know me. I have been communicating you with you throughout the years of time so that you can get to know me through all the all vantas are there to get to know me. The truth is I am the one who wrote the Vanta. I am the one who wrote the Vanta in every time in every language

59:27 in every place of this world. I am the one who knows all of the Vedas too. Clear? No. So here Bhagan Krishna is a character played in the Mahabharata who gave Ubatesha to Arjuna which became the Bhagawat Gita as a sacred text. But Bhagan Krishna was also taken and come in different forms. He's come as Rama. He's come as um uh Jesus. He's come as Allah Moses.

1:00:12 So all of the avatars are just the change in and of the design and the model of the car of the vehicle. So in one lifetime you don't drive the same car. You don't drive the same motorcycle. The motorcycle you would have ridden moped when you were in high school would be different to the motorcycle you're riding now. So likewise the body keeps changing but the person is the same the communicator is the same when we reciting the veda it taps into certain dimensions of the mouth it creates certain frequency the sound itself all different parts of your mouth in a normal language we don't speak like this the supreme person Bhagwan

1:01:01 said this This is from the Bhagat Gita as well. Oh dear friend Arjuna, oh dear friend of mine Arjuna whose arms are of might. That which bestows great bliss upon you and is for your ultimate good and welfare. Listen with attention to my excellated teachings which I now declare. O Arjuna who has great arms and powerful Arjuna he's a warrior he's the greatest boseman in the world and he's so politely he's asking Arjuna oh you great Arjuna this is Bhagan

1:01:46 talking to Arjuna okay look at the compassion and the kindness and the respect he's giving oh you great Arjuna for your own good Listen to what I have to say for the welfare of your being and place attention to the teachings that I declare to you. For those without knowledge and trust and for those who doubt the Vedas, divine realization can never arise.

1:02:34 The one who doubts God, the one who doubts the intellect of God, the one who doubts knowledge, the one who doubts trust, the one who doubts Vedas, a divine realization can never happen. They will never be realized beings. They will never be liberated. They will never recognize the truth about who they are. They will never understand God. For those gripped by doubt, for ones who have been gripped by doubt,

1:03:21 for the ones who doubt, there is no joy either in this world or the next. What does that mean? If you hold doubt in the vanta, there is no joy. There is no moka for you in this world and in the next. What is the next world? When we die, when the body dies here, that ja dies, the atma has to take another birth to come and do this whole ceremony of learning and understanding. Right? Even in that world, you're not liberated. It'll be chaotic there also because you have doubted the truth about yourself, doubted the truth about the knowledge of God. So Krishna is saying Arjuna you don't doubt you great warrior

1:04:07 don't doubt the knowledge by being close to the knowledge you'll find mti you'll find moka you'll be liberated from the sufferings of this life because what was the suffering of Arjuna for the ones who don't know Arjuna was in war with his own family hundreds of his cousins were in front of him and he had to slay them down. He was the only one who was capable because he was the greatest warrior of his kind at this time. He was in the dilemma of slaying down his own teachers, his uncles that he grew up with. So he became scared. He became weak. He

1:04:55 dropped his ganderva, his bow. A ganderva is a celestial bow that was given by Brahma to Arjuna that can never be defeated. When he sets a arrow out of that bow, it never misses its target. It is a powerful mantra vija mantra oriented gandh bow. He drops his bow out of his sadness despair that he cannot wage this war over his own family. He's doubting the words of Krishna because Krishna says you have to wage you have to be the one waging this war. Krishna says do you know where these people I'm deviating from the vedum and I'm going into a little bit of um depth of where

1:05:43 this this particular verse is written. Do you know where all these people came from? All the people in front of you standing in this battlefield. Do you know where these people came from? Your cousins, your uncles, your teachers, the one who taught him how to shoot the bow and arrow is also there in the war in front of him. The opposing side, Arjuna says he doesn't know. Do you know where they will go after they die? Ja says he doesn't know. He says, "My dear Arjuna, my dear one, I know where they came from

1:06:28 and I know where they will go. Hence, you don't doubt because I have created this. When they leave, they will come to me and they came from me and they will come back to me." But it has to come from a person who has dharma in his bow. And Arjuna was seen as a dharmic warrior. And hence Krishna chose Arjuna to slay his own family. Like that they would get moka. See the depth in intricacy of thought. Even though they are sinners, rapists and burglars and thieves, his own family members, he still has so much karuna compassion so that they can come back to moka.

1:07:15 So this is one of the verses out of the 700 verses that he says it to Abjuna that don't doubt me don't doubt the so that is the entire consense. So everything else is like it's the build up. So Bhagat Gita is like that. It'll build up verse by verse and then in between one line will be so profound and that will speak like speak miles. Okay, I'll read the next one.

1:08:01 for even the

1:08:49 powerful one. The duty of one born as a human is nobody knows what is our duty as a human being. We are born, we go to school, fall in love, we go to college, and we do some sort of uni degree. Sometimes we don't. We find a job, get a house or don't get a car or bike or something like that. Cycle, get married. Some people have kids and we think this is all our duty. So none of us know what is our duty in this life until we have been told what our duty in life is. One who can make you perceive your own life in a knowing.

1:09:42 One who can make you perceive your own life and inner knowing. One who can reveal the primal Vic mantra in visible form. The one that can tell you the knowledge of who you are. Who you truly are. The knowledge about self. Atma one who can tell you the knowledge of who you truly are. The one who can reveal the the primordial truth about you in the form of the vic. So when you

1:10:29 see see when you finally see you the truth about you. So Rajan is seeing Rajan. So Rajan as the perceived rather is finally seeing the truth about who actual Rajan is the atma not the body not the mind but the pure consciousness. When that happens, you are reborn from this mortal light to becoming an immortal atman to becoming an immortal consciousness where you are taking the decisions, conscious decisions, conscious choices, careful thoughts, careful and alert words and actions are taken in the rebirth. So we are all entering this

1:11:16 phase of rebirththing. We'll be born again. We'll still be in this body. We'll still have this mind. But this this atma will be reborn into this realized being through the knowledge of the Veda is what they're saying. So you one will be reborn when you read and understand the scriptures and understand the truth about yourself because it is the truth is about yourself. You take a rebirth from this person that you have been living an ignorant life. You start looking at yourself as this person who does is not the body, who's not the mind, who is pure consciousness. This one is the body and the mind. This one takes a rebirth with this one.

1:12:04 And there the consciousness becomes part of your decision making, your choices. It becomes an alert being. It becomes a conscious being. It becomes a careful being. It becomes a pure being. So we we are all in the process of rebirththing. The knowledge of selfwam is the knowledge of the consciousness. Knowledge of the atman. TWA is the knowledge of the self. Then with the grace all spiritual knowledge and attainments come into reach even after meeting such a liberated

1:12:50 divine guru. So the guru will show you how to become this conscious being. It will show you the truth about yourself. It will show you who you are, who you're not. A lot of it is who you're not. The truth is only one but a lot of it is what is not, what is lie. It'll show you clearly pinpoint and say you're not this, you're not that, you're not this, you're not that, you're not this. So then what am I? You're just this, you're just pure consciousness. Once you know the truth and once you have meet met the guru, even after meeting such a liberated divine guru, liberated divine guru is needle, you know the needle that we stitch.

1:13:36 So when the needle is moving like that, how can you put the thread through the needle's eye? If if the needle's eye is like this and it's moving like this, how how do you put the thread through the needle's eye? You can't. So like how the needle is a moving needle, the thread cannot be entered. Same way in the may even the truth cannot be put in this person's mind because he's constantly moving back and forth indecisive insecure okay then says thank you very much with love and grace yours gods so when we

1:14:22 take and decipher it piece by piece word by word line by line the depth of how you understand right now it'll feel a bit overwhelming but in a few classes by the time we are in third or fourth lesson you start understanding oh wow the way that I would have seen this word is so different to how I see it now and that is the that is the knowledge that you're getting it is not to read and memorize the Vedas it is to understand and decipher the Vedas the memorizing the Vedas you'll find it incredibly powerful and useful because when I was learning a year ago, year and a half ago. I was wondering when will I ever use this. But suddenly the they start reciting on their own in your mind and you will

1:15:09 remember the meaning a certain meaning of a certain word at a certain dimension and it'll open up and speak to you. It'll just come. It's I thought it was only for me but I inquired other students and it happens for everyone. So the way the class will start reciting themselves back to you in a matter of time. So that's why you're learning, you're practicing the Vedasa. So you're in a relationship with Veda. So right now you're reciting, you're hearing, you're listening. So you still the Vedas. It is still in a relationship allowing it to fall into here. When you're saying it, you're allowing uh Sarasati to speak, exercising the tongue. You're creating vibration, creating sound, and eventually that will talk back to you at some point through the Ved

1:15:54 is clarity. Absolute clarity is so I get clarity when I see the body of the guru. I receive clarity. When I recite the words, the name of the guru, I get clarity. So who is nam is means god. Nam is name, the name of god.

1:16:41 So I get absolute clarity when I see the body of the Veda. I get absolute clarity when I uh speak when I say the name of the god of the Veda. When I get absolute clarity, I get absolute clarity when I hear the words of the Vanta words of God. I get absolute clarity when I'm thinking about God. Guru the the the form of God. When I'm thinking about the form of God

1:17:29 through the texts, through the scriptures, through the letters, through the words, I get clarity. Very powerful one and most favorite one. It is from It's a song almost. And this one keeps coming to me talks to me whenever I'm in a bit of dilemma. I'm thinking like how what should I decide? No, I'll start this will come start singing in my mind and talk at one particular line. Then I'll open the book and tuate

1:18:17 listening to the words of the Bhagavan words of the guru. You'll get clarity. So some I'll just open and start reading and I will get clarity. Some question that I have in my mind I'll get clarity with that thought. Okay. The next one is to remove the darkness of your heart. to remove the darkness of your like a radiant pearl with the brilliance of a of a million sons. That is the guru is the one who brings and establishes silent trail of light within without this act. This translation is but the simple

1:19:03 translation direct translation is to remove the darkness in your heart. In your heart here is the mind to remove the darkness in your mind and to bring the brightness the clarity of kodi surya pasa means the million suns to give you so much clarity and so much brightness and light in your mind only a guru can do that for example we have a deep question something we've been pondering upon in our minds for like a long time it's snowbirding like left or Right? I don't know whether I should do this or not. How about this? This marriage sucks. This thesis sucks. This job sucks. This uh I don't have money in my bank or my health sucks. Mental health

1:19:50 sucks. All these thoughts, right? When I'm saying all these words, do you see that darkness? Like the mind is dark. It's it's slow. It's like confused, chaotic state. A guru is someone who will bring a thousand sunlights into that mind and clear out the darkness completely. So they're defining what a guru's capability is. In one instance, a guru can wipe out the entire darkness of your mind through a million sun lights. Okay.

1:20:45 the one who doesn't matter how much he has studied, how much he is a learned person. polamuj is what? One who gives offerings. You know in church you put money in the little bag and you light a candle. So those are offerings. In a temple they will give fruits and all those things and mala flowers and all that and give garlands and that's an offering. So doesn't matter how much puja you do how and how much do how much prayers you do doesn't matter how much wakam is like oh god oh god please forgive me I'm a sinner please forgive my sins no like manakam you're you're pleading so

1:21:34 doesn't matter how popular you are sati doesn't matter how much power and control you have power and control wealth. Doesn't matter how much wealth a person has, they will never be a guru. They can never be a guru. It doesn't matter how powerful a person is, how spiritual a person is, how much prayers they do, how much mantras they know, how much scriptures they read, how much power and control they have, influences they have, how much wealth they have. So it doesn't matter how much wealth a spiritual person has, they can

1:22:20 never be a guru says the Veda. The guru can never be even a mortal form is what it is clearly saying. Veda is clearly saying that like denoting every aspect of a human guru and we have had a few human gurus in our time that in the short time we've been in this world we have had a few human gurus. So we can see which guru was wealthy, which guru was powerful, which guru had control or which guru had all of these things. Which guru had all the mantras for every every uh problem they will have a mantra, they will have a home, they will have a ya. All that knowledge they will have but they cannot be a guru. The person, this person who's explaining what is coming from the Veda is not the guru.

1:23:08 But sometimes the people look at this face and identifies that a human form is talking the knowledge of the sacred knowledge of God and makes it this face the guru and this face the identity sitting inside the mind sitting inside or on on this body falls for that and thinks that oh if I show up as a guru people seem to be hearing in listening to me need to show up as a guru. That's how they are not bad people. They have genuine interest in the well-being of the society. But it is not the truth. It becomes assert. It becomes a lie when

1:23:55 they represent themselves as the guru. When the disciple is ready, the teacher appears. Who's the teacher? Unfortunately, we misunderstood it. the teacher to be a human form. See the only task I gave you guys last month was go find the guru is in your house. Did anyone look for him? Even in a greeting card, there might be a sentence that will be profound words of god to be there. You're looking for guru in human form. How can you find? We're looking for Sai Bababa pictures and Hanuman pictures and Shur's pictures and Ramana Maharay's pictures. That's why we were unable to find. But when we look carefully now with this new knowledge,

1:24:41 it will start talking to you. You will get messages through this. The guru will show up, the asan will show up because obviously a teacher has shown up because you were all ready. We were all ready and that's why the teacher showed up. Okay. in the words. The one who is thinking about the Vedas day and night is a blessed one. A lucky one. He is like a tree planted by the river, by the water, by the creek. It's constantly getting nourished by the water along the creek

1:25:28 along the river which feels fruits throughout any season. So anytime summer or winter this tree will always keep giving fruits. So neither it is dry it is dying and it is constantly giving fruits regardless of the season. and whose leaves do not wither he will be like that tree. So think about this tree. So this tree is beside a water so beside a river or a creek. This tree does not gives fruits all throughout the year. And this tree does not wither a single leaf.

1:26:15 What is this tree? This person, this blessed one who is with the vom with the words of the Bible day and night will be like this tree who will not wither, who will give fruits throughout day and night to the people around him or her who will always be close to the source of water where he's never hungry, starving, dried out. There's no drug. Everything he does will prosper. Beautiful. No. So the one who reads the way, one who

1:27:00 reads the Bible day and night and who are always in the thoughts of the wise words of the Christ, words of the Lord will not wither relief in their life. They will not age. They will always be given everything that they need to survive to thrive. They'll always be the they'll always be in a place to give abundance of fruits regardless of the time and place and situation. Now you have to take all of this knowledge and place it in the manus not in the body cuz body will die. What do you but that consciousness will be like this tree the

1:27:48 one who has got this pure source of knowledge. All right comes to the last of the first lesson. This one is from the Quran and it's such a beautiful meaning to this verse. This is the refering to the Quran. So Muhammad is written the Quran right? So the first line itself is saying this is the Vanta. There is no doubt in this. So he's confessing that this is Vanta. This is Vam. Got it? So anyone who is out there who thinks that Islam is bad and people who practice the Muslims should be shunned

1:28:34 upon because of their practices and their beliefs and how they have interpreted their own sacred text and misguided themselves to live is cleared. That doubt is cleared in the first line of this verse. Make sense? and the so the Muhammad itself is saying that this is veam there is no doubt in this so if someone who's reading Bhagwat Gita or the upanishads or the Bible the Quran is the Muhammad is saying the same thing he's saying he's confessing that it is okay those who want those the ones who want

1:29:21 to recognize Realize to find God. This is the pathfinder. This is a guide. The ones who want to find God, this is a guide. This is a pathway. This is a pathfinder. The Vedas that were given to you, they will believe the Vedas that were given to the Paravans before you, the messengers before you, they will they

…
