Omshanti. This is a morning class dated 11th February, 1967. Father can also tell children through Brahma – Good Morning! Children. Which Father? Why is there a need for a media? Certainly the Supreme Soul Father does not possess a body of His own. That is why it has been said - Just as you children can say ‘Good Morning’, you have your own body, but Supreme Soul does not possess His own body. But He can also say 'Good Morning' through Brahma. But when Father says, then children will also have to say. They will have to respond. Here it is a connection between Father and children only. Where? Here, the year being discussed is 1967. He has entered into the body of Brahma and is speaking. It means that it is a matter of Mt. Abu, where Father is sitting in front of children. Until the new (children) become mature (pakkey), they will keep asking some or the other question. What is the indication of the new ones? ‘New’ means that they do not have strong faith. If the children are new, they will have some or the other question in their minds. If they have questions in their mind, then they will keep raising a chain of questions.
The scholars and teachers (vidwaan-aachaarya) are very clever because they have studied the scriptures. Father says – all these scriptures belong to the path of worship (bhaktimaarg). Path of worship means a path of blindfaith (andhashraddha). They are not scriptures of the path of knowledge (gyaanmaarg). Why? Why do all those scriptures pertain to the path of worship? It is because Bhakti (worship) comes from Ravan and Ravan possesses ten heads. They will speak in ten ways with ten heads. That is why all those scriptures of the path of worship cause people to grope in the dark. Knowledge comes from one Father Ram. Knowledge comes from one and Bhakti comes from many. So the scholars and teachers belong to the path of worship. Will they sit at Haridwar or Kashi (Hindu pilgrimage centres) and teach Rajyog? When Father comes, will He sit at the door step (dwaar) of Hari (a synonym for Krishna) or will he sit at Kaashi and teach? They have written that the city of Kashi is very dear to Shankar. They do not know that Shankar is different and Shiv is different. There is such a vast difference between the soul of Shiv, the Supreme Soul Shiv and a deity. Shiv is the one who makes deities. He is the one, who transforms Nar (man) into Narayan. So He is the creator Father. He comes and creates the creation. So it is not a city of Shankar.
It is called Shiv-Kashi. Whose Kashi? Shiv Kashi. Shiv means kalyaankaari, i.e. benefactor. Kashi means a stream of light. Kaashya means the place, which is filled with the light of remembrance. Such is the city of Kashi (another name for the ancient Indian city named Varanasi or Benares). It is said - Shiv Bhola Bhandari lives there. Kashi is situated on the Trishul, i.e. a Trident. Now what is a Trishul, i.e. a Trident? Shool means a needle, an arrow. Which three arrows? Brahma's arrow, Vishnu's arrow of knowledge, and Shankar's arrow of knowledge. When the three arrows come together, then it is said Trishooli Nagari (a city of Trishul or Trident). So, which knowledge will be narrated sitting in the Trishooli Nagari? When the word Nagari (city) has been uttered, then it will not be a city built with bricks and stones. It is said that the city of Kashi is situated on the banks of river Ganga. For e.g. the acts (charitra) of Krishna have been depicted to have taken place on the banks (kantha) of river Yamuna. Kantha means banks of a river. It means that the city of Kashi is very close to Ganga.
What has been said in the Avyakt Vani for Ganga? From where does Ganga emerge? It has been said in the Murli that it emerges from the mouth of a cow (Gau mukh). Then a question has been raised in the Avyakt Vani and left unanswered. From where did Ganga emerge? Did it emerge from Allahabad or Kanpur? (Someone said - From Allahabad) It emerged. There all the three rivers merge to become one river at Allahabad. And all three merge to become Ganga. When Ganga moves ahead, then it assumes the form of a sword (talwaar) at Varanasi. Which form? It assumes a form of a sword of knowledge. For e.g. it is said that the city of Kashi is situated on the banks of a sword-shaped river. So it is not a question of that gross city. There is a virgin or mother, sitting on whose banks the creation of new world is created.
It is said that Rajyog will be taught sitting at Haridwar. Where do the monks, saints and sages (mahatmas) go and gather? They gather at Rishikesh and Haridwar (two holy cities for Hindus situated on the banks of river Ganga). A place called Swargashram (literally meaning a heavenly hermitage) has also been built there. Now, does the abode of heaven (swargdhaam) get ready just by raising the Swargashram made up of bricks? Does it happen so in the Dwaar (gateway) of Hari (i.e. Krishna)? Hari means who? Krishna. What is the name of Krishna in his last birth? Brahma. Which is the city of Brahma? What is the name of the abode of Brahma (Brahmapuri), which Brahma had established? (Someone said – Mt. Abu) One may call it Brahmapuri or Brahmalok. They say that Brahma resides in the Brahmalok. So is it a matter of the physical world? It has been said in the Murli that you children will bring down even the Soul World to this world. It means that there is such a place of penance in this world itself where the Brahmins gather and create such an atmosphere with their perfect stage that any soul reaching that atmosphere will become thoughtless. It will attain the soul conscious stage. Such persons who attain the soul conscious stage and attain a perfect stage are called residents of heaven (swargwaasi).
They say that when one leaves the body then he becomes a resident of heaven. Now it is not a question of leaving the body. It is a matter of leaving the body consciousness in a stage of soul consciousness, in a stage of penance. If we renounce the body consciousness, if we become constant in the self-stage (swa sthiti), then where will we go? Swarga, i.e. heaven. ‘Swa’ means soul. 'g-a’ means ‘went’. Where did he go? He went into a stage of soul consciousness. Those possessing a soul conscious stage are deities ... (to be continued)
