Prakritim Paramam Lecture 01 on 03-November-2019

Full Transcript (Not Corrected)

This Hymn Prakruthim Paramam has been composed by Swami Abhedananadaji Maharaj and he had sung /chanted it in front of Holy Mother. Holy Mother was very happy and she blessed.

This idea, that the whole universe has come from the Divine Mother, Shakhty. Sri Ramakrishna used to call Brahman and Shakhty one and the same. What is the difference? Brahman Can be conceived without any activity. And it is impossible to conceive with because we are conceiving through our mind. That is called Brahman. That is right nir Guna means no guna without Guna. There is also no activity.

This activity at the cosmic level is called srishti sthithi and Laya.

Second verse of the Sarva Mangala, srishti sthithi vinasanam Shakhty bhuthe sanathanee. So, this idea is also expressed in Tantric language, The whole universe comes from a womb of the Divine Mother, So also called Brahma yoni. Yoni  means the origin the cause. That is. Why Sri Ramakrishna  had different visions of the Divine Mother. First of all, I think I mentioned it one day he was strolling on the banks of the Ganga. Then he saw a beautiful young woman. Did I mention it last time? Yes.

Second time he had a vision of the mother Saraswati as she was playing the Vena. The very sound. This is called Shabda Brahma. There is a special philosophy called Sputa vadha -  sputa means Spontaneous explosion. Sputa means spontaneous explosion. But the modern scientists, without understanding, call it Big Bang. So out of that the whole universe has come. As  mother Sarasvathi   was playing, Slowly the creation has started. It started expanding, expanding, expanding. And then slowly her play was coming to an end. And slowly the all the expansion of the universe started  becoming   less and less and less.

So. That is what they call in Tantric language Bindu.  From Bindu The whole thing has come. If  we may say so, I don't think it is appropriate. That is what they call in modern physics Point of singularity. But the only problem with this is scientists are not sure whether this is the only one of it. is not one of it. is a constant Pralaya.  Then sthithi – pralaya sthithi - it is happening every second - individual level, cosmic level. There are different time periods which Hindus call pralaya. But the point is every time the cause of this universe is called Shakhty - the Divine Mother. And then what happens in our day to day experience when a baby is born, the baby is conceived, nourished, protected. And then after giving birth, also for a long time, who protects - it is the mother.

Therefore this idea, the baby is the nearest closest that idea, somehow it has come to us. So there are certain characteristics of the Divine Motherhood. The first characteristic is characteristic is she is the Yoni or origin from where we have come. Now there is a understanding. Whatever something effect comes from, the cause effect must have the same nature As the cause. Therefore, if we are coming from the Divine Mother, then we are also divine. This is what Swami Vivekananda used to say Each soul is potentially divine.

This is the source of the entire universe, every single thing. So by this also we have to understand something very important. And that important thing we have to understand is it's not only human beings. Anything that comes out of the Divine Mother cannot be but Divine mother. We usually divide the world into living as well as non Living.  That's why Hindus a mountain and this Earth, the Rivers, anything that is in existence is nothing but sachidananda. But certain characteristics are not manifest. For example, in this table only one characteristic of divinity is manifesting, which is called sat. Only sat. so  chit and ananda are not manifest.

The scientists, vaguely indirectly, They also discovered somehow the inorganic has become organic. Inorganic means what  without life. Suddenly it is endowed with life. A problem that comes is where from this life has come, If it was not already inherent there. This is a scientific law. Whatever is not there can never come out, if at all, it comes out after some time. It definitely prove that it was their potential inside  The right time has come. It has come out. So the first characteristic of the Divine Mother is but she is the origin of this entire universe.

Srishti sthithi vinasanam sakthi bhoothe, sanathani,

Gunasraye, gunamaye, Narayani namosthute

So second, who is the closest to the child? Is only the mother. That's my whole life. If you really analyze most of the time we are closer to the mother rather than to the father. Father also is closer. But it is a mother. That's why. What is the first word that usually comes out? Ma..“Sarada Devi” A mother. Only  that is very important for us to understand. She is the closest she protects. She nourishes whatever we have see, whatever we have, everything we owe to the mother.

That's why mathru devo bhava - first to preference is given, to the mother. Sanskrit  language, When we are using dualistic words like Sita Rama, we don't say Rama  Sita. It looks a little bit odd. Radha Krishna like that. Sri Narayana, Lakshmi Narayana. first comes the mother, then comes the father like that. So this is the first thing. What did we say? She is the origin second thing. What do we say? She is there closest to us. third thing her love towards her children. A mother's love towards her children. What do we call it? Completely, all encompassing love, First of all, impartial love. There is not this lightest  difference between her love between the grown up and the baby be sick or the healthy child towards all. This is what Holy Mother represented in a remarkable statement for me. My son Sharath e and my son Amjath  are exactly one and the same.

She did not merely say it. She really meant it. What is the difference? Upadhi –the  limitation through which the Divine Motherhood is being expressed that is the only difference. So that is the third thing that we see all encompassing love and impartial love. The fourth characteristic that you see  that what is called Sahana Shakhty Mother has to bear with all the good things or bad things that the children will do, with infinite patience.

She goes on because she knows, Because my child is first of all ignorant. Secondly, my child is also helpless, ignorance and helplessness. That is why the mother goes on putting up with whatever the child does it. This is the fourth characteristic. What is the fifth characters? Mother can forgive anything this is called shamashakti.

Mother can forgive anything in this world. There is nothing a real mother cannot forgive. So even the great Shankara  said “Kumatho jayetha kwachdapi puthro jayeta kwachdapi kumatha na bhavathi”  so I there may be many, many bad sons but a bad mother is almost impossible to find. So they are all conducting there on the wonderful is solpa. It has to be moving like that. So Hello. Hello. Okay. Hello.  please reduce it a lot. I should not come at so this is very good. Excellent. Hello. Hello. Yeah. It's beautiful. Very good.

So all forgiving. The mother's characteristic is completely forgiving. Then the next to politic characteristic of the Divine Mother is the whole thing is Lila. Leela mayi. In lalitha sahasranam  And that perfectly illustrates what we are talking here

Midhya jagadadhishtana muktida muktirupini

Lasyapriya layakari sajja ranbhadi vandita

At State. She is the Empress of this. What universe? The mithya universe. But mithya  for whom, not for us. This is what is called Lila. What is Lila like watching a cinema? You can enjoy it. It is an experience but it is not real. That is why any number of murders. You can happily enjoy in the cinema but even a little bit translate some such thing in the what we call actual life. It is intolerable. But Sri Ramakrishna 's beautiful experience was there one day this will happen after his mind came down from Nirvikalpa Samadhi.  continuously after that Totatri mj  had left, Sri Ramakrishna   was continuously in Nirvikalpa Samadhi for six months. Most marvelous  story.

At that time he was completely unconscious about the external world. Then from somewhere a sadhu had come and he recognized by the grass of the mother that this man in the highest Samadhi and his body needs are  to be protected. So he used to keep a small stick and then if necessary he is to call out shout and it Takur’s mind comes down returned to the body level is to keep some food ready and push it inside his mouth. But if it was not coming down he used to beat Takur!!!. So when the body consciousness comes, then he is to put the food inside. Sometimes Sri Ramakrishna say Little food moves around. Most of the time it was falling out. The  moment Sri Ramakrishna , Got commandment of the Divine Mother, you remain in Behave Muja, Behave make is state between Mithya and Lila.

So it is like a person standing in the door way. He can see inside. He can also see outside city. Cctv You know you can be inside. You can see outside outside. So a man knows what is the truth and at the same time he enjoys this beautiful show. This is called Lila. So this is the one of the characteristics of the Divine Mother. That's why she is called Lilamayee. The whole universe is nothing but Lila. And this Lila has been so marvelously expounded by Shankaracharya in two books in one book Ananda Laharry or Soundarya Laharry. Laharry means what you know -  mention. What is Laharry? Well, Larry means wave. So what is the name? The mithya is called the ocean. And whatever comes out upon the mithya is called Lahari.

Taking this beautiful concept Swami  Kremationandaji Mj  or know how many of you have heard about him. He was a disciple of Holy Mother. He wrote a beautiful such a profound depthful.

Swaroopa sayave lila lahari uthitho mridhula karuna

And that is what Krishna is telling in the fourth chapter.

janma karma ca me divyam

evam yo vetti tattvatah

tyaktva deham punar janma

naiti mam eti so 'rjuna

Anyway, what is the important point? From the way the adVita vedanta divides man's views into two categories, or rather even strictly speak three categories, ParaMarthikaa, vyavaharika and prathihasika. prathihasika means even now we experience. But we know it is not real. For example, you look at the reflection, you see it clearly. Whatever we see is an experience. And whatever we experience must be real. But it is very temporarily real, a dream cinema reflection. These are the three are finding water in a desert area. These are called prathivasika Sathya.. So then there is a vyavaharika  phenomenal where we transact in this world. This is also transaction. In this world. This is also called. What is it called? Yes. Now I told you we have a vyavaharika   Sathya. It is phenomenal world. What is it? It is a little more real than prathivasika

How do I know? Because if you had thought it to that you would not have come to attend my class, which is clearly indicates   It is  vyavaharika   Satia lasts until we get knowledge and get out of this. Then what is the highest paramarthika.  Spiritual,  transactional and whatever you call it? prathivasika appearance, not reality.

It appears it is not real is a mithya. So in the mithya also one type of mithya which we think is true and another type of mithya we clearly recognize it appears. But it is not a true. The second third, no second from the paramarthica view. So this is what we are sitting here.

This is called. We are sitting here.  This is vyavaharika Sathya.   that we don't consider

it as untrue.

But we know it as a temporary truth. That is why we have to understand certain things very clearly when we are practicing Viveka. Viveka is the very first quality we have to acquire because that alone gives us what is to be attained. So this Viveka is of four steps. The first step is I want to be happy. I don't want to be unhappy. So be very clear. Do you want to be happy or you don't want to be happy? It looks very silly question, who doesn't want to be happy? That's not the point though. I make happiness as my goal of my life. Once I decide that one, I want to be happy. Second step will be which type of activities make me happy and which types of activities will hinder my happiness? Obstruct my happiness. So first is Suka, Dhukka Viveka. Second is Karya,  AKarya Viveka.

A third step is mithya, anithya Viveka.  Now here Nitya we we are talking about what is permanent. Anitya is not unreal. Anitya means impermanent. We know that a baby was not there Yesterday..It is born only Today. And we know that no object in this world last for any length of time. So that I got there is something permanent. There is something impermanent. It is real at this time. But impermanent. Real but impermanent. That is what Sri Ramakrishna used to say, you must always practice discrimination. What is temporary and what is permanent? This is the third step. Then it is called what is it called? nithya, anithya Viveka. Fourth  step vasthu, avasthu Viveka. What is vasthu, according to Viveka Chudamani Vasthu means Brahman.   Everything else is Avasthu means unreal.

So in vyavaharika  have things are not unreal. They are real because we are experiencing them. But they are not - They are not permanent. If we can recognize that and behave accordingly, we will be far wiser and less than half. For example, anybody can die. But why do we suffer so much? When the news somebody suddenly comes that that person has Passed away  where the accident happened, fortunes change A person. Some people live to their job. Some people lose their job and anything can happen in this world. So we are experiencing them. We can't experience unreality. We can only experience reality. But what is reality? Need has to be classified into that which is permanent and that which is temporary. This idea that everything is temporary. That is, we are not practicing.

We think we are forever, even though our intellect knows that we are not forever. This is the most wonderful idea we have heard. So can I give you an example of a Prativasika ? I gave three examples. 1 example is you are looking at your face in a mirror. You see the reflection. The reflection is not unreal because you are experiencing it, but you can't do anything about it. Why do you look at your face? To do makeup. Do you do makeup To the reflected image or to you? So it serves a useful purpose. So this is called Prati basika. Cinema is drama. Cinema is also Prati basika. In the second example, I gave and seeing a vast body of water. Indeed, Mirage is another example. So Swami Vivekananda with another was telling he read about this. So he said, I read about it and I talked about it.

But I never had any experience. Once I was traveling in Rajastan and I saw vast body of water. Not only the beautiful green trees, both sides of the water and their shadows also reflected in the water. Said, Why the way are these fellow suffering from lack of

water when this vast Lake is there? So I was trying to go near. Then I realized, the more I am proceeding, we further it recedes. Then I am suddenly. Oh, this is what I read about Mirage. This is Mirage. So this is not important. What's important now, even after knowing this is a Mirage, the Mirage did not disappear. The Mirage is still appearing. How long will it appear, Until sunset? It will appear. Ah, it's a wonderful experience. But now he will not react way. He knows this is branty, but it appears experience.

That is my point. Prativasika also appears. Is it clear? So we know that it is Prativasika.

That is why as soon as makeup is done, if it is a real word, you know, what would you do? You. I don't want to move from that place on. I'm staring at your own. Hey, how beautiful it is. This is all for other people. This is very peculiar psychology. Supposing you know, the wife is absent, only husband is there. Then one shoe will be pointing to Australia. Another shoe will be pointing to Antarctica, because this is called home. What is home? Complete freedom. I can do whatever I like. But tomorrow morning wife is going to come today, everything will take its place. What is my point? My point is that Prativasika we know clearly, even though we are experiencing, it is insubstantial experiencable, but insubstantial.

If we have a vyavaHarika, we don't know that it is unreal. only by reading Vedanta  on the books. And that too Advaitha Vedanta books. Because according to dvaita & visishaadvaita they are absolutely reality is reality is real. Srishti is real. Dhukka is real.

Even with visishaadvaita, some people go on to the length of saying even dreams are also real. There is a I don't want to go into this philosophical discussions, but there is a substantial truth in that. dream is also real. But the basis of this statement, whichever state we are in that state alone, is the reality. Until we go to the next state of experience. Jagrath avastah   this is real. Swapna avastah , that is real. Sushupthi And so so that that is the reality. So we are thinking that is real. That is real. That is real. Come to the proper conclusion, which is  real. I think I.

Is this a mind property reactive or the city? It has nothing to do with the mind. No. If it is from memory it is your minds action. Everybody will experience it. It is what you call a trick of the eye sight. Certain circumstances come together, intense heat, and then

a flat surface. Something happens. There. What I want to say, it is not in our control.

It is not subjective. Some people, they don't look at the water. They say only that that is not going to happen. Even after you come to know it as a Mirage, Still the body of water will appear. It has nothing to do with any individual. It is a universal. And like, you know, I can give you some example. The Sky appears to be blue. Is it to your own experience, or is it everybody's experience? It is just like that. So this is called Prati Vasika Satya.

That is why it is called Satya. Prati Vasika means it has some usefulness also. Its usefulness that when you are looking at whether it serves the purpose of makeup and then the cinema serves its one purpose. India Bollywood is cinemas, you know, because the more a person suffers, the more he becomes a victim of cinema addiction to cinema because for a few hours he gets relief. But  at home I have to look at this person. But in cinema everything you know, palatial house, first class, car and all those things. And then ultimately after one and a half two hours of entertainment, they won't show you more than that nowadays. And after that the hero and heroine get married after the tag notice they don't show anything. This is personally only understandable experience out.

So this is Bradi Basika SATyA then vyavahariak satya. Bradi Basika SATyA We know that it is rather and still we use it for purposes. In vyavahariak satya  We think this is the paramarthika satya that is our problem. Otherwise you would not have attended this class if it was Bradi Basika SATyA, you would not have attended this class. This world is real. My bond is is real. My body mind is real. Somehow some scripture tells it is not real. So maybe it is true. I should have to get out for that. I have to come and attend this SD class.. This is a vyavaharika Satia. Then only through rationality we can deny it. How this is the rationality. What is it? What did you have vyavaharika Sathya waking state or Dream state? A dreamless state. You tell me clear you are going through these three States. 1 after the other every single day of our life from Birth to..

Then what is the reality there? What is the reality? You tell me clearly whether your waking state is real, dream  state is real or dream  less state is real. You are saying all the three are reality by definition can only be one, not 3. This is a rationality. Nobody can answer this one. Telling that both to dream and deep sleep are part of the waking state. According to many psychologists it is only Advaitha which says that we don't accept your view.

All the three are separate and independent realities. Which every Jiva is going through every single day anyway, we should not lose thread of in the state before and after. What is your question? Is there a is there escape like you're saying on violence thing? I have three making the same thing happens in the past life. Same thing will happen to really speaking there is no such thing.

There is a kind of body, Even when we don't have physical body. That is what we call bootha or a ghost. The ghost also has got a sukshma sarira. Anything that has got a body, a ghost also dreams a ghost wife, ghost husband, ghost marriage ghost goes to dream girl. But I will tell you a real incident. These are all very important. When I went to Belur Math few years back one  swami came and told me this incident. He is one of our trustees. Swami Thathva Bhodhanandaji Maharaj  , that he was posted to Mauritius. So one day morning he went to visit I want devote his house for about 9 30 10 30 something like that. No, sorry, not morning. Afternoon. He went about 3 30, 4 o'clock in our car. Then that her husband seems to be working on the tiny factory. This Lady, she did not know that Swami was coming to see them. She had taken bath  and she was sitting on the Terrace. A terrace means not the roof.

It was a tiled land. So she was sitting there and then she was drying her hair, her back towards the setting Sun and the swami’s car had come. He saw her. So he  stopped the car. God, what was swami seeing? There was a female ghost. I did not ask this. How did you recognize it? A female ghost whatever actions this Lady was doing, the ghost was imitating it behind. If she does like that ghost also did,  if she did like that ghost as was doing like that. So seeing that one, swami also got scared. So he had one Japa Mala. He started to do  Japam certain lady ghost disappeared. the Lady and then she came welcomed  to him and then had a Cup of Tea or anything. But swami did not tell anything to her. Then he came back.

But when he came to know something about it, just at the moment, this female ghost was doing these antiques behind that Lady. Her husband was working in a workshop. Where the cranes  are operating. So he was standing somewhere and something slipped. A huge weight was falling down somebody saw and shouted, and this man, interesting to le jumped but a little bit of that fell upon his shoulder. Then he was to be hospitalized for it 2 3 weeks. But he was saved. Now this swami’s guess was that the female ghost was telling that very soon your husband will become my husband. But Swami was doing japa At this time the ghost disappeared. Exactly. At that moment this incident happened. He did not die, but he was saved. He had injury and he was saved. So this was what I told. I was very skeptical about this story.

I went there anyway, I can see how much attention you are paying to me because it ghost story. (Big Laughter from devotees). ies in how I was talking about Brahma. No attention….talking about ghost so much of attention. So before what happened, I went back to England and I used to hold classes on weekends, Saturday afternoon and Sunday regular class. I told this story there on a regular Mauritius couple used to come Krishna and radha their where name was. So they also heard about it and several years had passed. And after 5 - 6 years, one day is Krishna came and told me, Samji, do you remember you recollected one story about one Lady talking? Yes. Why are you mentioning it now? That was my wife’s mother. So but he was told until she passes away, this incident should not be mentioned to any, but otherwise she might get frightened.

Now. Just she passed away. I can tell you that that is what had happened. And it is very true. Sri Ramakrishna  had seen Ghost, Holy mother had seen Ghost, Swami Vivekananda had seen Ghost, Raja mj had seen Ghost, so many had experience Trigunatheethanandaji mj had a horrible experience. If you remember, do you own that? So, Trigunatheethanandaji and the day he had gone to a no, no, he was staying

in a haunted house. He said when people wanted to tell you it is a haunted house, he poop and said, I don't believe any of those you fellows are superstitious cowardice. Is that is why you are talking like that? It was a beautiful house. Big house. Nobody was staying there. So he went on that night at about midnight a head without a body. The ferocious appearance very frightening, with one eye making a very piercing sound.

It started going in circles round and round

And coming here he was a fearless man. Even he got scared. Sankata kale Venkata Ramana. So he started praying Takur, Takur Takur like that. Immediately Sri Ramakrishna  appeared and he beckoned. any come. And then seeing Takur, he got courage and went out. Then Sri Ramakrishna said foolish boy will be so open a realities in this world don't ever do these things today would have been killed. I can tell you a lot of stories, but I am not going to tell coming back to our subject. Why did I mention all these things? Only for one reason. But in this peculiar world prathi vasika sathya is there, vyavaharika Sathya is there that is there at is there.

But these will be subletted. When Paramarthika sathya  comes. so in the prathi vasika sathya many infinite number of objects, in vyavaharika phenomenal experience truth. Infinite number of things. Reality. But Paramarthika, there would be only one reality. There is no more.

That is why the whole universe will disappear. Why there is a simple reason where there is no mind, there will not be anybody. Where there are no mind and body. The truth will only we can only be one. For example, in deep sleep, how many things do you experience? Only one. But is you yourself? Nothing else so decently through devoted. Now if this let us come back swami abhedanandaji  he is mentioning this divine mother hood to Holy Mother, which was not his first. Sri Ramakrishna  himself had him Sarva Mangala, srishti sthithi, saranagatha dheenaartha. That's why we incorporated that as we or above. Third song, this is an expansion and Sharanagathi  of that song

Prakrutim Parama - Parama Prakruti. You are the ultimate cause of this entire universe what we call Brahma Yoni. Prakrutim Paramam - advaita Vedanta borrowed heavily from

Sankya yoga  school of philosophical Sankya Yoga. In according to Sankya Yoga, there are two eternal principles, Purusha and Prakruti. Purusha is all consciousness and Prakruti is completely inert. Somehow these two happen to come, which nobody can tell why it's called Chit Jaga Granty Not between consciousness and inertness.

Somehow then pure consciousness Thinks I am inert an inert thing Thinks I am pure consciousness. , in other words, the consciousness feels. I am the body and the mind, the body and mind think I am the consciousness and it doesn't seem to be strange at all. 42-54-3

It seems to be the most natural thing in this world until a mosquito starts biting us and say there is a problem with this kind of thing. So that is how mumukshathvam will come later. Prakrutim Paramam And this particular sloka also illustrates Mother Kalis swarupa. I think I discussed about Mother Kali. And then nonhindu looks at Mother kali’s image  You have weird ideas. But when this is the most perfect illustration of the highest truth. So first thing that we see there in  the car whenever we look at Mother Kali is that there is divine Mother and beneath her feet Shiva, Shiva and Shakhty. Siva shakthya.yuktho ithi bavathi... So Soundarya lahiri ander  starts with that. If she is not associated with Shiva, then Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara will be totally incapable of performing / discharging their special duties.

Because without Shakhty, Shiva becomes Shava. So if you look at Mother Kali, then you notice a few things. First of all, she's naked. And Secondly, what is it? She has got four hands and her hair is flowing. Then you see that she is wearing a garland of skulls. And on the right upper hand will play this way. And the lower hand will be this and the left hand. One sword will be there and Decapitated head will be there. And she is standing naked with this garland of skulls on Shiva. Shiva lies. What is this symbolism? Very briefly, I have to tell you. And this srishti sthithi vinasanam Shakhty bhuthe sanathani. Without  Shakhty, there would be no activity at all that there would be no activity at all. So there are three aspects, srishti sthithi & laya. What does this hand symbolize abhaya – means Srishti.

You have nothing to fear. You are existing. Your existence is not in danger. This is  abhaya. This is what Bagawat Gita also tells Chatur vidha bajanthe mam. Four types of devotees worship me. Artahha, artharthi, jignaso, Gnani -  at under nanny. So the first represents Artha. I ‘m in distress. I am in danger of losing my life. Now I am here to protect you. This is the first thing we need. Second, I am not in danger. But I have lots and lots and lots of desires. Oh, Mother, who else  will fulfill. Only you can fulfill. So therefore this hand, what is it called – vara . Another date is increase. A  man's sight of the divine Mother stops only there. He doesn't want to look at the the other side. What is this srishty sthithi ok, but Laya  also is necessary. The sword represents Kala. It is hanging 24 hours when it is going to come down. God alone knows.

And then what does that – Skull - decapitated head represent constantly where there is birth. There is death. where there is existence. There will be also non existence. No, I'm not talking about absolute existence. I'm talking about manifested.

avyaktadini bhutani vyakta-madhyani bharata

avyakta-nidhanany eva tatra ka paridevana

where there is birth. But birth is not a new phenomenon. The UNmanifested becomes manifested. That is called birth. And the manifested goes back into unmanifested. That is called death.

So this left side represents what is called laya. So what is the sword of Demo kens is always hanging. Then there will be the skull to remind constantly. Many have attained this state, many will be attaining. You also will attain. Many  means. Not that anybody's exception if everybody has to.

Bahuverahuve balavan

Kithneena mheethathu

Manahuve

Thabu konu kahan dyana dharo

Parbhu ramu bahjan kaho dhukame nahiye

Beautiful song.

So this is the truth, Mother. Kali.  what is the Garland? What does the Garland? This Garland. If we count, there are 52 skulls. What? Or do the 52 represent? Alphabet? What does the Alphabet represent? And we're updating this world as a name. If your name is Meda Alphabet, therefore it represents all day manifested world. Why did they not say unmanifested? Because UN Manifested Cannot Have Any Name  or Form. unmanifested  is unmanifested . Manifesto You can't name it. So everything. If this world is represented by that, it is her Garland. That means she is the giving birth. She's the mother. She is the maintainer and she is also the destroyer. This is what a Sri Ramakrishna  had the vision, a young woman came out of the Ganges and then she gave birth to a most beautiful baby And she looked upon the baby, looked after the baby, with the greatest love in the world. And next second she started eating up.

This was the idea we get in the eleventh chapter of Gita. 50:11-11

लेलिह्यसे ग्रसमान: समन्ता-

Bhishma, Drona  gatothgaja – Maya bajar cinemalo  everybody was just entering into a my AAA or all the things are just weighing in. So we watch so like that. But we should not be frightened because what goes in also will come out. And what comes out also will go in … is a constant phenomenon.

That  is going on and that is represented. Pakruthim Paramam abhayam varadam  This is the concept of the deity SRISTI sthithi and viNASA Nara Rupa Dara. This dividne mother just as God incarnate. So also the divine mother also incarnates as Shakhty. Every  AvaTara has got his or her own Shakhty be either manifested or non manifested, but none so powerful as in this yuga. Because if we study the history of the avtharas, we will not see their partners doing any active participation. Yuga dharma patri - She took part in the the Dharma  Stapana along with Sri Ramakrishna. If I have to say so or we have to say so. It is in this room. Ramakrishna Avtara, it is a Holy Mother who did most of the Dharma  Stapana.

That is why he said, You have to do a lot. I am leaving you behind to distribute. Nara Rupadara she has taken but is it only this statement or did Sri Ramakrishna also tell? There are so many incidents which prove like that. But I will just mention one or 2. Then we will stop here. You have to so one day swami Apoorvanandaji. It is the he was disciple of Holy mother. He was a young man young boy, and he came to see Holy Mother and he wanted to sit by her side. So somebody out of her graciousness she allowed him to sit because a young boy, he was seeing her from a side he was describing. Later on I saw her. Her eyes was burning like fire. I got frightened looking at her. Anybody looks at Holy Mother from front. She is the mildest of all creatures. When the robbers confronted her, how did she appear. Mother Kali will not leave her. They say he had the vision of the Mother Kali Holy Mother. But immediately she covered it her and made them feel that I have never thought of otherwise. Simply saying I am your daughter. It is not going to help.

Similarly, when she made one day Sabuda was accompanying Holy Mother from kamarpukur to Jarambati so they reach at almost suddenly Sabuda had taken into his head no Mother.

People say you are Kali. What do you say? Is it? What do I look like? Mother Kali. I am your aunt. Old Aunty, without teeth and all those things. No. 2 3 times she asked she was evading the question. That's okay. You have come home. I'm going back. No, no, she go. You have to come with me. How is it? No, you tell me. Then I will come. Otherwise I will not come. And so Yes, I am Kali. What? It's Sri Ramakrishna told about Holy Mother. She is mother Saraswati  it come the bestow knowledge, but in the form of Bagala. I never understand even today. What does he mean by Bagala. She is Bagala.  That DsSa mahavidhya She is one of them.

This is what Nara roopa   thaRam. What is her Jana tapa  Haram? She is there to destroy threefold affliction. We all suffer from Tappa Traya, Treamine the apartments affliction. What is that? Adyatmica, adhgiboudhika, adhi daivika. There are an area are physical, mental and spiritual. We all suffer from. So Sharon and I me. All of a sudden I feel conscious. Okay? I will answer it to you when the class is over. Okay, put it at. So jana Tapa Haram But she should equally bestow her Grace upon everybody. She's there to remove the afflictions. Does she look as though she is reflecting?

She is removing. She doesn't seem to be. She is only removing few people, not everybody. What is the reason, Sharnagatha sevaka thoshakarim.

Then you have to be ready to receive what she is going to give. Otherwise even Mother will not give what we are not ready to receive. Do you understand what I am talking about? If you are a child mother will give you exactly how much you can digest? She won't. Even if you are asking more, she will not give. Not because she doesn't want to give. She knows that we are not fit and it will only bring more afflictions. Whatever the child can digest that much only she has given. This is the greatest truth.

I tell you, whatever we are getting in life is because that is the only thing which we can tolerate. Good, bad. She will not give more burden than anything. So when I say burden I mean also happiness.

Suppose somebody gives you more happiness then you feel like laughing. This one small example and giving. Sri Ramakrishna  was the greatest fun master in the whole world. Not only one master but also fun master. He used to tell jokes. Jokes are of two classifications, vegetarian and which are some of the vegetarian jokes have taken place in the gospel etcetera. Nonvegetarian never saw the  face of the print and but Swami Vivekananda & others they used to owe a little laughter and say, Sir, Sir, please stop. Otherwise we will die because so much of laughter is created. So happiness also can kill because the nerves cannot hold that happiness. And just give a hint before I stop. So when a person attains higher spiritual experience, what do you think happens to him?

We have to think not only a wonderful vision, that it will also bring so much of happiness and that happiness. If our nervous system cannot bear it, there is likelihood that we will simply collapse and a massive heart attack Will come. This is a fact of life that is out of compassion. God also does not really give us more than what we can do. It is his compassion Similarly, dhukka also He will not give more than what we can bear. Saranagatha sevaka thoshakarim So the conditions are we must surrender, and we must also Render service. Render service. What service do you render to the Divine Mother? Not possible. But what it means is that if you can accept whatever it is

doing and that is the greatest service you can ever make. That Divine Mother.

Pranamami param jananim jagatham - I salute the divine mother Not only my mother read the Mother of the Jagatham Janai – Mother of the entire Universe. That's why she is called parama prakruthi . 3 plus 4  seven, plus 3, 10  verses are there What we will discuss in our next class.
