We are discussing the third Sthothram of Sarva Mangala Mangalye. I told you why these three verses from chandi have been incorporated into our day-to-day daily bhajans.  And the concept is most marvelous. So, Sarva Mangala Mangalye. Whatever mother does is auspicious. There is nothing inauspicious in this world. Death, You know yesterday tragedy had taken place, if you heard. Our maid servant Padma she was electrocuted. Yesterday after our class by the time I came out, she was electrocuted. She went to switch on the evening light somewhere near a pole. There was some leak electricity leak and she touched bare hands. That's all finished. Yes as inside the ashram. 

So from a worldly point of view, everything has is divided into this is good, This is bad. But from a highest paramarthicka  Viewpoint, we call it paramarthicka  . There is nothing which is aMangalya. There are reasons for that. We already discussed about it. The first reason is if something is really real. Somebody is dead that is a real fact, then it is not Mangalya. But according to vedanta and even according to dvaithins also, anybody who believes - for example example you be anybody who believes, That after death a Christian will go to paradise Kingdom of Heaven after, Muslim believes. He goes to Paradise, Christian believes. He goes to Kingdom of Heaven. What does that belief imply really. Is  he going to go with this body? Nobody will not go because if body goes, do you know what happens? Supposing there is a seven star hotel. Everything is neat and clean.  A   buffalo goes in there after swimming in a sewage pool. Will it be appropriate? So anybody who goes to heaven with this body It is like that. So there would there is no body according to them body’s death is inevitable.

But apart from the body there must be something that goes to heaven or hell. That  is called Jivatma. That is why Shankaracharya’s greatest to penetrative intellect is That   while defending super the theory of superimposition. What is superposition a snake is superimposed upon a rope. That is the main meaning of shankaracharya. So you are saying that upon Brahman. We are super imposing this body mind this world, but that is not true. God really created this world. Then the contention is if God really created this world. The real world is real. If  the world is real body is real. body is real then birth is real, growth is real. This is old age is real. This is real death also is feel happiness is real unhappiness is also real. A God who creates unhappiness what type of god if the Karea if the effect is having unhappiness. What should we derive about the cause? He cannot be anantha svarupa. He must be a mixture of both happiness and unhappiness and a God who undergoes both happiness is no God at all. It's worse than any ordinary human being. So  even from their own point of view this superimposition you are accepting. Why are you how are you accepting superimposition that you want to go to heaven? That means who is it that goes to or if you are in the body if you are your body then with the death of the body, you also have to die. But that's not what it is. You are telling he will you will go to heaven. Then what happens to the body. That means it must be totally different from your temporarily you have put it on and you have discarded it and you are going to heaven.

Therefore  Now you have an idea my real me is going to heaven. But if you are asking now, what are you do you say you are real body who goes to heaven or this particular body who is now? You understand the logic this particular body, which I consider. My this is me, is it not Superstition then superimposition you are super imposing your idea of your real self upon that this temporary body, which has nothing to do with you just as a snake has nothing to do with rope. It is not even a part of the Rope. It is totally different. How do we know as soon as light is brought completely it is taken up.

Anyway, So according to vedanta if this world is really real there are certain problems. We one problem is you will never get Moksha because reality is that which never changes. Therefore you will always be here with this body. Coming and going coming and going if that is real. But you don't accept it yourself. Then it must be only a temporary phenomena appearing and disappearing. And whatever appears or disappears what do you call it? Temporary and whatever is temporary is called mithya. You always don't don't have the wrong idea. Mithya doesn't mean non-existence. Mithya means that which is experienced temporarily. And as soon as the truth comes it will disappear. That is called Mithya.  Mithya first of all, there are certain points. We discussed umpteen number of times when we say this Mike is mithya in my case Not mithya. My  in my mind there is an idea because if you ask Sri Ramakrishna , what is this object? What do you think He will say? It is divine mother.

He will not say it is a mike. He  will not say it is  Flower. He will say it is God himself. But does God change His appearance? Has this rope ever changed its appearance. Then where is the snake? Snake is in my memory. The delusion is in me. Not there superimposition always means it is in me not there.  

Okay, her question is if I am deluding myself. Don't want to sit on the chair. There are there is a chair in here is a chair. There must be something there are so many chairs there. Okay. Now people create this place has got a disadvantage, you know, so they come here and bow down now I am confused. Do it do me or to the Lord. Now you see here with one shot two birds. So her question is why you do all of us experience the same this thing. There are two answers are there. But  first I will give you an answer. from the advaithic Vedantic point of view what we call all others or also my delusion. You don't exist again. If you are mithya, there are no categories called real mithya and unreal mithya. Everything is mithya only. To  understand this point I will  Give an illustration. You  are having a dream. In the dream, you see that somebody is standing there at a distance in a semi light and appears to be like a bear., like a bear. Will everybody see that whereas beer or only? I see it as bear in your dream. Then we are having this discussion that they delusion is in your mind saw a then this question comes. Why  you do all others also have the same delusion.

I hope you're able to catch my point.  All the others in my dream are also delusions of my one mind which creates. who created that there he created who created. The other people is therefore as I see not only that who created myself in the dream myself. So there are two Clear I’s in the dream. One is the witness. And another is who is acting as an individual that individual is as good as any other object in this world. So this is the answer.   We do not know the origin but they say there is no there is no way to find out how it came. But there is a way how it can be removed. That's why about Maya it is anaudi but not anantha. Anaudi  means we don't know when it started. So the law the general law is whatever is beginning less  will also be endless. But  in the case of Maya, because it is not Sathya. We mean anaudi doesn't mean it is eternal. If it is eternal, It will never disappear. Anaudi  only means I have no way of understanding when it started. So simple examples, Swami Dayananda  Saraswathi I took it from him. Tell me at the exact second when you started to dream. Take a stopwatch. And go on finding out when you have gone to deep sleep,

Or when you have gone to dream state? Tell me when you're when you have gone to dream state. If you are watching the time, that means you are not asleep or dreaming and when you really fall asleep, then you will not be able to find out this is called anaudi. Tell me at exact at what exact moment the dream started or deep sleep started. Can you? no you cannot find out. But  it is that is that not able to find out when the Source started when it started is called anaudi. Aadhi means beginning anaudi means beginning less. so we don't know but we know when the dream ended. The moment you get up instantaneously you will find out there is particular time is there you see what a beautiful thing it is. Ah, so that that is the most important Maya is it is anaudi but not anantha. It  comes to an end. But God is both anaudi as well as anantha. Because  if he comes to an end our Moksha will come to an end. Not  only that. There  will be no God.  God Is born and God is dead. We cannot imagine that kind of God is making too much noise just a little like this.

Even though these things look like rational arguments, They are very deep points. We have to understand. So in the dream, we have got two three entities. Me  as a witness me is a player and the whole world with whom I am playing. So how do we know there are three because when we wake up, we remember I remember I was walking. That means I was witnessing myself. I remember I met some people I remember we all got frightened seeing thinking it is a bear, but when we came near then we saw it is our old friend who is put on a bear appearance. So whatever is temporary that is called mithya. Mithya is not non-existence. That's why we have Three technical words in vedanta. It  is very important to have a grasp of this technical word. Satyam mithya tuchcha. Satyam mithya and tuchcha. Satyam  means that which is existence. Tuchcham  means it has never in a another name for non-existence is tuchcham.  Example  the son of a barren woman. We are using words, but certain words do not have corresponding objects like buttermilk. You understand buttermilk are two words. What is buttermilk? There is neither butter nor milk. why it is called buttermilk. Even now I cannot figure it out.

So there are certain words. one. Vandhya  putraha is son of a barren woman. Words  exist, but corresponding object does not exist that is called Tuchcha. which means total non-existence. Sathya means always existent without any change. Then  where does that word Mithya come? When  satyam because of some defect  in me is mistaken for something similar. Always keep that we you can never imagine a rope a snake an elephant is standing on the Rope. You can't mistake a rope for an elephant? Why? Because sadrussia should be there. sadrussia see a main similarity should be there. You can mistake it for a piece of garland. You can mistake it for a piece of a little bit of water flowing that way but are you can mistake it for a small what is called A bent  piece of stick stick. But  never can you imagine a human being? A dog, an elephant, a cow. You cannot mistake a rope. Why? There  is no similarity. Now What is the point? I want mithya is a temporary knowledge wrong partially wrong knowledge. It is not completely wrong knowledge. It is a partially wrong knowledge. Do you understand? What is meaning of partiality? See whenever we use grammar can help us a little more. There is a rope. Listen carefully. There is a rope. Because of insufficient light plus my own fear, my own fear, then I mistake it for a snake. What am I saying? There is a snake. There  is a rope. There is a snake there is a there is no difference previously. Also now that means the existence part of the rope is not mistaken. The appearance part of the Rope is mistaken, and because it is mistake. Mistakes will be corrected sooner or later. So until it is corrected it it may be one year. It may be billion years. But mistake will always be corrected.

Therefore whatever is temporary whether it is one year or a billion year that is called  That is called mithya. See how wonderful this analysis is. Mithya is not to be equated with non-existence. Mithya always is a dependent upon aShraya. We call it,  athishTana we call it support. Had there been no rope there would be no snake also. These are the concepts we have to constantly reinforce so that we are able to understand them clearly. So three words in vedanta – tuchcha, mithya and Sathya.  our problem is not with tuchcha because that which doesn't exist cannot give us any problem. Now  our problem is we mistake satyam as mithya. We mistake a rope for a snake. This notion is a wrong notion. This first of all, they wrote this notion is temporary. It has started at a particular time when is that particular time when there is sufficient light, I knew it it was a rope and when semi-darkness comes semi a light semi-darkness then I still see something. what I am seeing is sathyam.  But  what I am thinking I am seeing is mithya.

So what is the first point it is a Temporary phenomenon. Whereas if it is satyam, it never changes. The second point is that delusion superimposition is not there. It is in my Brain and that has somehow got to be removed and it can be removed only by two factors. The scripture as interpreted by a sadhguru because scripture also can be  Misunderstood. in fact most people's for example, you know hare Krishna people. They mess it. They interpret Bhagavad-Gita is bhagwan. Krishna in Gita is shouting 

ye yatha mam prapadyante tams tathaiva bhajamy aham 

mama vartmanuvartante manusyah partha sarvasah

As people worship me, I also respond to them exactly in the same way. This fellow's say no. No, you are a deaf fellow. I will I will filter what you are going to hear only those who call you Krishna those words will reach you and any name Rama, Vishnu,  Narayana,  and  Let alone Allah or  Jesus Christ if anybody utters they are not going to come to you. This is called fanaticism.

But the Lord is so is there.  Anyway  what is the point we are talking about three points we talked about. First  of all satyam will always be truth will always be eternal.

Truth will never change Eternal means that which never changes not that which continues for example vedanta tells this Earth since how many billions of years back we saw - 14 nearly 14 billion years this Earth is continuing and according to physicists. This is not the only phenomena. this particular time. The manifestation is since 14 million years the Big Bang occurred when Fourteen  million years billion 14 billion years back. Now that was the wrong notion people who are cherishing until a few years ago. Then Some scientists upped the question. That is how knowledge progresses.  What was there before the Big Bang? There must be something for Big Bang to occur. If there was nothing, “nothing” will occur. So there must be at least something at least a time bomb and a fuse and a match box something should be there for the big bang to occur.

So that was the second there must be something that means can you imagine something  That never existed all of a sudden it comes into existence. That is what Bhagavad-Gita is. Also telling that to Sath and asath.  Sath always existed Asath d never existed. That is what physicists are telling. What is the first law of thermodynamics matter cannot be created, matter cannot be destroyed.  What  does that mean? That means matter is always not created means it is always there. You can only transform it. energy rather energy can be cannot be created cannot be destroyed can only be transformed and when energy transforms what does it become? Simple matter it becomes matter. Like electricity how do you know there is electricity. It must be transformed through a Transformer. Then it will come as light as a heat as motion as attractive capacity for So these are the four final truth. So Einstein wanted to unify them. Anyway, what is what are we talking about? First point is let their this truth never changes. Mithya is a temporary phenomenon. That is the first point and mithya is an idea in our brains not there. That is the second point and this mithya unless we remove it. We will never know the truth. So long as mithya is there we will never know the truth and that how can it be removed only by truth and how can truth come only through the grace of God in the form of a guru interpreting the scripture. There is no other way. So these are the three points we have to clarify. This has a relevance to what we are talking about. It is both both because as study we discussed we very living creature goes through three states waking dream. And  there is no other state. Turiya is not a state.  You  have to always remember Turiya  is the very ground over which this phenomena takes place.

So Jagrath, swapna  sushupthi.  Jagrath is waking State. Dream is the swapna Avastha. both States the power two powers of Maya Avarana and  Vikshepa function.

But in deep Sleep Vikshepa Shakti is not there, because the mind is not functioning. But  Avarana Shakti, is there covering the truth? So typically we see is my has the hypnotized or whatever whatever you call it. So would there be glances are there any times that there will be glimpses of this my opinion.? Yes. Yes all the time. It is surprising but all the time. That background is there. But we don't pay attention to it.

So we also explained this many times in our classes. I am bringing it out again in within each personality. There are two I s. I two. What are the two I s.  one I - which is I was a child. I was I am I am the child. I am the young man I am the middle aged person. I am the old man.   Fortunately  does not say I am a dead man. 27:50-5

<nowiki>***</nowiki>

That he can’t say. For  others to say. But  there  is another I which is a that was me.

No suppose you get photographs when you are a baby, when you are an adolescent ,youth, middle-aged person. You have different photographs definitely they are there.

So when you are witnessing, are you saying that with the two photographs are different people or are you saying that they are the same people? I hope you are able to catch what I'm trying to tell you. From the birth until I die. I am having that idea. This is me. This is me. This is me so that I is which is temporarily identifying itself with every change that occurs in our personality, but there is another I that was also me. That was also me. This was also me that continuous unbroken I there is a changeless I, and there is a changing I. because  if it is a changing I you will never be able to recognize your past. So have you understood this one?

So so all the thoughts that we get. Hmm. Letter to all the changing and and you are witnessing it. Oh, I had that thought when I was a child. I made a foolish mistake. When the  child made that foolish mistake, he never says I made a foolish mistake. I am doing the most wonderful thing in this world. At  that time subsequently who is looking who is looking upon it and passing the  judgment. Judgment  can only be passed by a sakshi witness. Never by oneself. So another question is this I is the constant is always present always no. No it is it is totally different from past and present and future future, of course in imagination. So that which stands aside one is completely identifying. I am happy, I am unhappy. Another  is saying at that time I was happy,  at another time I was unhappy. Is  it not common experience? So if you just think over carefully that which is saying I am happy and unhappy the temporary I along with that experience. I am the experiencer.  That  which stays oh that time you

were happy and then the other time you are unhappy that which is just recollecting without passing any judgment just witnessing it recollecting it that is called the permanent I. it is this permanent. “I” which we are constantly that that's why is your permanent I  if it is impermanent, I it would be the other I. . So it means it's always the now all the time. The point is what is spiritual life you shift that changing I your focus on the changing I  and then remain with the witnessing changeless. I. then  what we say. Oh that was the state of waking, that was this state of doing that was the state of dreamless state. So I am witnessing  it. So what is the psychology here. 

Very wonderful psychology? Whatever I am experiencing is not me. That is the foundation to understand all this topic. Whatever you are experiencing What did I say? Whatever we are experiencing is not us ever. you are experiencing me. Do you say you are me? Your experience do is say the edge. They say Mike. Otherwise, there will be a terrible thing. You're experiencing a dog. What do you have to say?

You're experiencing a donkey or do you have to say there is nothing called the witness. I is permanent. permanent means it must be there in the waking state, in the dream state, in the deep sleep state.  So this is the point. I am laboring to impress upon you. You are witnessing it is this witness upon waking up say who is remembering the participant I are the witness. I. witness I , but it is not able to business huh during dreaming. No. No. No your statement is not correct if it is not witness who

is remembering. You cannot remember what you have not witnessed. Can you have what you have not experienced you can never remember, isn't it? Are you able to follow my point?

So upon waking up? You are remembering I was having that kind of dream. who was

remembering it the dream I or the witness I How do you suppose instead of the small? I huh? That is what we are trying to that is what we are trying to do in spiritual life. How are we doing it? Say I'm sitting here. I feel like doing some mischief. Then somebody is watching me if I do like that. That is the story of kanakadasa. How can I eat a banana when when you work your condition is? No, body you should see you so first because I myself cannot understand I am both a witness and a participant I bring in the idea of God. In fact this idea of God is the most marvelous idea about God. Stupid fellows cannot understand when they say there is no God they are they are thinking of a God with as an object. They are not thinking of God as a most marvelous idea in our mind. So I will expound on it. Don't worry about these all these you have to understand these deep truths. So suppose somebody says if there is a God show me. You can you cannot show many things. You  show me that you love me. Right, somebody says I love you. So show me or love who can you show your love? Because this is a concept there are two things in our experience percept and concept what is percept. I am able to see you and you are able to see me. What is this called percept perception, but a concept that person is a good person that person is a friendly person that person is loving person. That person is a hate in person. Now, you owe that person is a loving person. But to I have never seen that love. Where does he put it in his power right pocket left pocket or back pocket. Where is the pocket? That is the everywhere a pickpocket that saw me a Must Be Wondering Where does this swami Keep his money? Where is the pocket? He keeps his money because he can't see that pocket. You know, where is it? Only that's why I say only Shear if anybody can pickpocket only Sri Ramakrishna  can pickpocket and Sri Ramakrishna  does pickpocket. Do you know that because every pickpocket is the manifestation of Sri Ramakrishna  and not only that there was one devotee Tej Chandra. Once he lost 300 rupees and then he went and to the Ganga and said Takur what have you done.

What does he mean? Devotee, but devotee everything is done by whom by God. Okay. God could not tolerate it. He came and said why are you weeping your money is there? See the under that stone, so this man ran lifted the stone and got his 300 rupees.  Two questions come that is it the same 300 which was earlier in his pocket, or is it a brand new note from the mint Factory It has come first. Secondly that one pickpocket has pick pocketed this devotee what Sri Ramakrishna  did now. He must have pick pocketed the pickpocket and brought. Take this money and must have buried it Even before the devotee came. Anyway, I'm making fun. what is the idea of God? First of all, this is the deepest vedanta. God is not an object. God cannot be an object. God should never be thought of as an object because you know, what is the truth? There are only two things in this whole subject and who is a great subject or object who is independent. Do you follow the is a I can see the Mike. Mike cannot see me. I can close my eyes and forget about the mic. So the very existence of the mic depends upon whom upon me. That means subject is the is superior to the object. Subject  is independent. object is dependent. in when you understand if I don't care to perceive it that Object will have no existence at all. It depends upon me.

So if God is an object then who is superior. Me or God. Then  what is the use of praying to him. if if my me the subject itself is so miserable, then  the object God which I am trying to meditate upon must be worse than me. So that is why it is said God is not an object. God is the always the Subject only. That means that pure Consciousness through which we are trying to experience Everything is God.  Chit chit. Swaroopa. Chaithanya swaroopa, chit  and Chaithanya . So that is why God is pure Consciousness and it is subject. It is not the object which is this point is clear because we will discuss it again because it is it takes long time for us to understand.  second. I always mention this fact, so I am a limited being. And every millisecond of the thought of a limited being is only one, how can I be unlimited that means in plain form? How can I do whatever I like who can do whatever he likes. Only God Sarva Tantra swatantra he is the most independent. He can do whatever he likes and each one of us. Want to be God. Only. I what and what are the other idea about God God is deathless know our concept of God.

We can you ever think God is God also dies. He has a birth is a growth and he dies if he is also subject like me to all these things that God is of No, use for me himself is and struggling to get out and how can I help me get out? So God is birth deathless death less means he must be birth less. That means he must be Eternal is the idea. Then I am of limited knowledge. God is unlimited knowledge and or do I not want to have unlimited knowledge because I want to know whether to I am going to survive tomorrow when the body's death is going to fall down or which exact number is going to win a million rupees. Do I want to do don't I want to know I want to know now, what is my condition? I don't know.

Therefore my concept of is there must be a being who knows everything that is chit. The chit aspect of God. I am subjected to a happiness and unhappiness. What is the proportion? 50/50 understand 50/50 a horse and a rabbit if at all. So I don't want to have this much happiness and this much unhappiness. So is it possible so I imagine there must be how it will be Suppose there is a being who is sadanandha Maya so the anandamayi Kali. So my imagination flies and say there must be a being is called Ananda Swaroopa. Sath, chit, Ananda and that Ananda doesn't know F Bar flow. It is not short or long. It is infinite and eternal. So this is my concept of God. Everybody's concept of God. Is it not . so how did this concept come?

This is the law which you have to understand. In human mind such a thing never comes, which is not possible to become. You cannot imagine something which you can never become. So  can I become an elephant? Can I become a Bhim Sena?  For  me not possible, but for God? It is possible. That means I am thinking myself if I am God, what would I like to be? I don't want to die. I want to be all-knowing and I want not only that I want everyone to love me. Is it not? Do  I want even in my imagination one being? Okay, 99% of the people will love me but one person will hate me do you think I will be thinking like that. See, this is the concept of God being. so this is the idea. First of all, what did we say? God is not an object, God is always the subject. Second idea. We are having this is something a being which is infinite which is eternal which is never know doesn't know death does not know ignorance doesn't know suffering or unhappiness second. Third Point very important point is supposing I don't know whether such a being exists, but I firmly believe such a being exists. And who is a devotee he believes that God exists. So if God exists he is also kind compassionate and he loves me therefore whenever I whenever I pray whatever I pray for he is going to fulfill my desire. is it not. interesting fact You will learn a lot of things if I if you attend my classes. Can you pray to God, Thinking that I would like to have this desire fulfilled even though I know God cannot fulfill.

Have you followed what I said? Can you produce a desire and pray where  You really believe God cannot fulfill. Does any such desire ever come into your mind? That means whatever desire comes in our mind. We have complete confidence if God Wills he will be able to because he is God. He  can do whatever he likes. He can fulfill therefore. You have understood what I said right now. There would be no desire in our mind, If we truly believe that that desire cannot be fulfilled either by God or anybody. Understand? Now what is constant the constant prayer of every living creature is what? But only three things. I don't want to die. I want to know everything and I want to be very happy. Is it not a fact? I believe that the thing can be attained. Otherwise, I would not even pray. 

I hope you're able to get you to think deeply. what did I say earlier. A  desire, which I think I have a desire, but it can never be fulfilled. We will never desire such a thing. We always desire what is absolutely possible by God. So what is what is the only desire whether consciously or unconsciously knowingly or unknowingly of every living creature. May I not die. 

asato mā sadgamaya, 

tamaso mā jyotirgamaya,

mṛtyormā'mṛtaṃ gamaya.

Another thing Maya. I believe that it is possible. So here is the third point that comes. What is the point that by praying to God? By visiting various holy places by doing japa and thapa etcetera if I feel that I am a happier person. What is the headache of the stupid fellows who say there God doesn't exist? You know, there are people who say God doesn't exist. The proper point is not whether God exists or not. The point is I am very happy thinking about God. What is your headache and headache always comes only to those who have got head. That means head means what here the fellows who do not know how to think or they with head or without a head. The only benefit of having a head without the power of thinking is it can be washed? Brainwashed. The only benefit. Now you follow these three points. So God is not an object. God is our greatest imaginary ambition. And such an ambition will never come into our mind unless we are hundred percent confident that It can be fulfilled. And, if I am practicing remembrance, Japam prayer being good dharmic Etc. And if that is making me happier person better person who can object. Nobody  can object. But anybody these fellows, who object to their brainless fellows. That is all I can say.

Okay now come back to our subject, what we are talking about. It  all started with Gayathri's  question that I maybe deluded, how can others be deluded because all in whatever I call the others are also products of my own part of the same delusion. Then another of possible objection retinol in dream. It is possible but in waking state is how is it possible? But the point is here is the important point when we are in dream. Do we call it dream? What do we call it? Waking state - where whichever State we are that is waking State for us. So when we are in this waking State, we are comparing. Oh, that was the experience I had and that is all my imagination. But when you go to dream your waking state is also an imagination. isn't  it. when you are indeed when you are dreaming you are in a dungeon, even though you are you went to bed in your own bed. So are you in your own bed, or are you in Dungeon you are in the dungeon?

That means that if they that means waking state has become unreal as simple as that. This  simple analysis people are not able to understand. My own creation total creation. Hmm. So that is what you are thinking is it right right statement is a totally wrong statement. So okay when you when do you understand that was a dream? When  you wake up and just now I give example when you are in dream that is your waking State. Oh, no. Just listen, I understood your question. When you are in the dream, the dream state alone is absolute reality. You will never question array last second. I was in Chennai and the next second I was in Australia, you will never think it is irrational in dream. Everything is absolutely rational. Absolutely real. when you come back to waking State you say that was imagination. when you are in dream state,  waking State. What does it become? Imagination only. Okay, this is one argument as an answer.

The other argument is, what is this? Chair. I am seeing it, you are seeing it, everyone is seeing it. The  wood worm also sees it. Ask What is it. No, it says it is food. Food imagine this a wooden chair. Imagine It's a wooden chair then if for it, what is it? It is not wood. It is food here itself in which world is it living food world and in which world you are living? So what is the truth you think whatever I am perceiving is the truth no whatever. We are all perceiving are different truths. And different truths depend upon different states of the mind. I gave an example. I hope you remember a young woman is walking in the street. This was a Sri Ramakrishna's example. A  young child sees her, runs on hugs or mama, mom. An old man is passing by he also sees her runs there and hugs her and says my darling daughter. A young man is walking. He also runs and Embraces her says my darling wife. Another  Young man  and his passing that way. And he says this is a very beautiful lady. How many objects? They  are all experiencing one object. How many views they have all got so their actions their  reactions and what they are going to do everything depends upon. I hope you what is the point of this illustration. 

The point is even though we may be seeing the same object. We are not seeing it exactly as everybody else is seeing it. Everybody is seeing it in a totally different way. So I will my favorite illustration is a wooden table. Four beings are asked. What is it? Don't say it. Is it table at the only for conveying the idea? It is an object. We which we call table you call a wood warm and say what is it? What does it say? Food. You call a human being and say what is it? It is a wooden table. You call a physicist with an electronic microscope. What is it? Energy - Pure Energy whirling at mind-boggling speed. You call Sri Ramakrishna  and ask what is it? What do you We'll say so I hope you are able to why I gave this two illustrations. So this profound idea has been threadbare discussed by vedantins. So they created two siddhantas theories srishti Drishti Vadha and drishti srishti Vadha. Shrishti means God created that is called shrishti because God created I am able to experience it. There is t means I'm able to see it. I'm able to experiencing means not only see she get hearing smelling tasting touching everything. This is called Srishti Drishti Vada, but we both things are necessary for life. If  there were to be no wooden table. Mmm, life will not be comfortable but then even though it's srishti should come first later on comes drishti that is called drishti Srishti Vada. Follow what it is. That means how I experience that wooden table. That is my world.

So in which World a mosquito is living? Mosquito  world. In which world a   wood worm is Living woodworm Word, which World a tiger is leaving Tigers World in which World child is living Child's World. Now I hope you are able to follow my argument. Even we are all living in a different individual world, even though we are taking the same common things. That is why beautiful book “Men Are from Mars Women Are from Venus” If you ever heard that one it is, you know, a woman can never see from a man's standpoint and a man can also cannot see from a woman standpoint. That is why a woman a wife once got annoyed with her husband all men are dull. He asked her. Why do you issue such a statement? She explained they are so dull because everything has to be repeated to them. He got so angry at that. He asked  what did you say? Everything  has to be repeated. So exist Oh my God. But still there is something there is it's my mind which is creating in the waking state. I need the money people. It's my view but multiple things are there multiple subjects. This each subject is doing in its own. Yeah, so there is a difference. There is a difference in their views. There is this fact you have to understand clearly a chair will be chair even if a billion people look at it, but how they look at it. This is a chair. There is no difference. This is a beautiful This is ugly chair a  which are new chair. These are all different views. So we are having a common factor. I am seeing a chair but I am having uncommon how I like it. I don't like it. I want to get rid of it, etc. Etc. This is that is way. Yes. Yeah that common basis is exist. Pure existence.  common base because whatever you see here. Is it very interesting deep question also that deep question is this one you may not understand it is a deep question, but it is a very deep question. There is something called existing an object. That is a common thing for everybody. But, how I view it? It Depending upon my past experience. No, two people ever Look at the same object exactly in the same way. And even the same person doesn't look at the same object in the same way all the time when you are hungry you look at food in a different way after your completely filled up.

You look upon the same food in a totally different way. Okay, these are very concept which require a lot of thinking. sravana and manana. Otherwise without thinking you can go on putting the same questions again and again, let us come back. So we are dealing and there's not much time, but we will just recollect. Sarva-Mangala-mangalye the Divine mother is the most auspicious of all auspicious things. I made a statement everything in this world is auspicious. If somebody beats you, somebody murders you that is also very auspicious thing. How?  From two points of view.

First of all it is not real. If  it is real God is the most cruel being in the world. It is like a play in a drama, but we don't know it is a drama. Secondly, how do we become better people by always being happy or going through suffering which will make us better people. suffering. Sarva-Mangala-mangalye. So everything is good another way sarvartha-sadhike a Divine mother bestows all arthas are that means desire fulfills and according to Hindus. There are only four all the fruits anybody can desire are divided into four the Dharma artha Kama and ultimately Moksha. One note. I want to add here the Dharma artha and Kama. They always lead us to happiness. From little happiness, to more happiness, to still more happiness. Sharanye. Therefore the only way we want to be progress in life. That means we want to become healthy and happier is only by taking refuge in the Divine mother. Divine mother to be worshipped; Divine mother to be followed; Divine mother to be worshipped with through prayer and meditation; Divine mother to be followed by her teachings called Dharma shastra be dharmic - satyam vada . dharmam chara . svadhyayanma pramadah, etc, etc. Tryambake she has got  three eyes. What are the three eyes the Surya , Chandra and the gnana netra other way of threeambike   Amba is the meaning of the word. What is it called letter of the alphabet Amba means letter of the alphabet. So three simple Stellar syllables of the alphabet is called Tryambake become in ambika means Eyes thriyambikke  means to three letters of the alphabet. What are they? Ah, uh and ma which means om you are they and if I shred now Gauri  means white color or golden color because golden color always implies. Pure sathva Guna. Sharanye Tryambake Gauri Narayani namo'stu te. Oh mother I worship you as Narayani. So this is the meaning of the first verse. we will discuss it in our next class did rest of the two hopefully we will Cover those two subjects outside.
