1994-08-05 - Friday - I am I

Wrote Electronics OK only by Swami's intervention - Jain Sir said write another 5 minutes (extra) when I had around 10 marks left to attempt! Completed. Cleaned cupboard in the afternoon. 

Trayee - Swami was watching from the side door. Bhajans seemed mediocre, echo box used. Then, "Moorthy Monday diamond jubilee. But did wrong. Gave silver plate to Swami. Punish - by giving back." "Kuladevata's, Swami" - then You spoke. Names and forms only so that people can come to know of the One. "See, O man, 3 paths to reach Me." Books, Japa Yagna, Shodashopachara respectively. Karma, Bhakthi, Jnana. But XI chapter, 48th and 52nd slokas, clearly said, "I can't be got by these.

Searching is ignorance. Remove the ash of Raaga-Dvesha - You are God. Pashyannapi Na Pashyati Moodho. Arjuna also in Viraata Rupa. I am I - not these extra fittings of Ravi Varma. Yourself - remember that, forget the world, not vice versa.

Hussain and Hassan, Pirs - Muharram, dance back and forth. Today's search is like that. Vipraah Bahudaah Vadanti - as they have many thoughts. In those days, population was in the thousands. Pre-independence, 38 crores. Today, 100 crores in divided India. Multiplying like pigs. Puru sha - Know Atma through body. Body is important, give respect - prakriti - LakshmiNarayana, Heart on left. Men have 3 gunas while women have 7. Women - various titles. Men - not veera - go home, scared of wife. Troubles don't catch you, you catch the troubles, like the monkey. Fireball doesn't burn, fire does. God is fire inside the iron ball of world. Inside, Outside, Everywhere. 

Satsanga of Sat. Anyone can turn Bhagavata pages. Child looks at pictures, scholar looks at the meaning. Some don't pay heed, as Swami puts it in simplest terms - they want shlokas!
