0:15 so far we have seen Kripalu Ji Maharaj said there is one divine entity , our vedas are very clear, there is one entity however the vedas also say that there are two entities

1:11 there is a tree - on the tree are two birds one bird is eating the fruit of the tree the other bird is watching not interfering the first bird sometimes when it tastes a bitter fruit it becomes unhappy when it tastes a sweet fruit it becomes joyous the other bird is a friend of the first bird but does not interfere only notes the karmas 1:54 this verse has come in the Munduk upanishad it is there in the Shvetashvatara upanishad as well it states the bird & the tree is this body in this body the first word is the atma the soul the second word is the Paramatma the supreme soul the atma is tasting fruit in the body these are the fruits of past karmas 2:29 if a good fruit comes the atma becomes happy if a bitter fruit comes the atma becomes miserable the Paramatma the second bird is a friend of the first bird but he doesn't interfere he just keeps watching and noting again 2:54 the same upanishad the next mantra says what is the solution to this problem It says if the first bird just turns around towards its friend all its problems will be solved. In other words the soul has its back to God and what it needs to do is to turn around towards him 3:41 so the veda mantra is very clear that there are two entities the atma and the Paramatma but there are other veda mantras that are stating that there are three entities 4:14. there is one kshar tattwa (perishable) so what is perishable the material energy everything in the world perishes and there is one akshar imperishable -  the soul and there is one ish lord of both kshar and akshar 4:44 by knowing these three entities one can cross over the material energy so here in this mantra of the Shvetashvatara upanishad three entities are being talked about. 5:20 one is Aj, the second is Aj, and the third is Aja ? 5:27 what does aj mean ajanma (without birth) in other words eternal 5:34 so God is eternal the jeev (soul) is also eternal 5:41 and maya is aja also called the material energy 5:48 has existed ever since God has existed. So these three entities 5:54 are eternal and will always remain the vedas are talking about three entities 6:19 again the upanishads are saying there is one bhogya brahm,  one bhokta brahm & one one prerak brahm 6:35 bhogya brahm is what you enjoy the material energy let me squeeze some more pleasure out of 6:43 it that is the mistaken goal of the soul how to do bhog of the material energy maya. 6:55 jeev (soul) is bhokta brahma 7:02 and their lord the prerak brahma is bhagawan 7:07  By knowing all three  you can reach your goal again the vedas are saying there are three entities 7:22 so how come in some places the vedas said there is one entity then they said no there are two entities then they said no there are three entities 7:35 Kripaluji Maharaj is explaining in this verse he says these two entities 7:43 jeev and maya they are the shaktis 7:48 of God they are the energies 7:54 of God just like the Sun 8:00 is the energetic and it possesses energies 8:06 what are the energies of the Sun the heat and the light 8:15 so these energies are one with the Sun 8:20 that is why people say swamiji the Sun has come through the 8:27 window you sit down there sit in the drawing room the Sun has come 8:33 the Sun has come into your drawing room if the Sun comes in the drawing room 8:39 will we remain the temperature on the surface of the Sun is 1 million degrees centigrade 8:47 so we are going to evaporate very soon if we are going to be there 8:52 but the point is that the Sun light is considered 8:57 non-different from the Sun and that is why when the Sunlight has 9:03 entered through the windows into the drawing room in speech we say the Sun has come 9:12 so similarly this maya and jeev 9:18 are shaktis of Bhagavan. Narada ji Maharaj is the guru of the 9:26 celestial devatas that's why he's called devarushi 9:32 Naradji in his Pancharatra says 9:46 he says just like the Sun is in one place 9:51 in the solar system but by its light 9:57 it illuminates the entire eight planets 10:03 although it's in one place similarly there is one supreme divine 10:08 entity by his innumerable energies 10:13 He is pervading and inhabiting 10:18 all of creation. the Kripalu Ji Maharaj 10:24 is talking about jeev as a shakti and maya as a shakti 10:31 and then he's saying there's a third shakti of God as well 10:38 what is that yoga maya 10:44 yoga maya is the divine shakti Shri Krishna says in the Bhagavad-Gita 10:55 that due to yoga maya, Arjun although I am seated within you 11:03 I am not perceptible by anyone, even the doctor who puts the stethoscope 11:09 to the chest cannot perceive Me sitting inside 11:14 because I keep myself hidden with the help of My yoga maya 11:21 the yoga maya is His divine all-powerful energy 11:26 Kripaluji Maharaj says look the shaktis or energies of God are 11:33 infinite everything about God is infinite 11:40 His forms are anant, His names are anand 11:47 His abodes are anant, His devotees are 12:06 in the second verse of the fourth chapter of the 11th canto 12:12 that one who thinks he can count 12:17 the infinite divine attributes of God 12:22 has got a childish intellect 12:34 one may succeed in counting the specks of dust on the 12:39 crust of the earth ; that impossible may become possible but 12:46 the innumerable qualities of God nobody can count that is why one name 12:53 for Bhagavan in our vedas is ananth 13:06 so God's shaktis are also infinite 13:12 but the problem is that the human brain is finite and the human brain can only understand 13:19 so much ; that is why to explain things to us 13:26 these archaryas have simplified that immense knowledge 13:32 and presented it to us in such a way that we can grasp it 13:40 I'm reminded of a story of Narada ji 13:46 he came to our earth planet and he went to a village in india 13:53 he found a vedic scholar now the vedic scholar was reciting 14:00 mantras and Narad ji came, the scholar was delighted he said   14:07 please come and be seated he washed the feet of dev rishi, did his 14:13 Narad ji said do you want anything 14:19 the scholar said Maharaj you go and meet Narayan in Vaikunt 14:26 next time you go please ask him when will I get liberated from the material energy 14:34 Narad ji said it's a small thing I'll do it ;  after that Narada went to a cobbler 14:41 the cobbler was stitching somebody's shoes when he saw Narada he also was over joyed 14:48 Narada of course was saying Narayan Narayan. So narut came along 14:59 and this mochi also welcomed him and washed his feet he said I am blessed my 15:05 whole heart has been sanctified today with your presence. Narada said do you want a boon 15:12 Maharaj you have the ability to go to Vaikunth 15:18 and meet Narayan next time you meet him please ask him 15:23 when will I attain God realization 15:29 Narada from there he went to Vaikunt and Narayan said Narad ji how are you 15:35 doing. Narada said Maharaj, I am in great bliss in your devotion 15:42 so Naradji where did you go today ; Maharaj I went to a little village in 15:47 भारत वर्ष ;  whom all did you meet maharaja;  I met a vedic scholar 15:55 and a cobbler ; they both were curious to know when they will attain you 16:01 Narayan said tell the scholar that it will take him 16:08 as many lifetimes as there are leaves in the tree in his courtyard 16:15 and tell the cobbler that this is his last life. Narada said Maharaj, this doesn't make 16:23 any sense the cobbler is stitching shoes and the scholar is reciting ved mantras 16:32 Narayan said when you meet them again they are going to ask you 16:39 what was narayan doing tell them that narayan was 16:45 stringing an elephant through the eye of a needle 16:51 he was taking the elephant through the eye of the needle you will understand the answer I have 16:57 given. When Narada with that message first went to meet the vedic scholar 17:05 the scholar said Maharaj, did you have darshan of Narayan. Narad ji said yes I did 17:12 what was he doing when you met Him ; Narad said he was taking an elephant 17:18 through the eye of a needle ; the scholar started laughing about 17:24 you think, I am such a fool that I'll believe something like this I have also got some sense up here how can anybody 17:31even a string to be passed you have to put on your glasses and try five times before it goes in ; how can an elephant go 17:38 through ; what did He say about my liberation;  Narad said now he understood why 17:45 Narayan said it's going to take you as many lifetimes as there are leaves in 17:53 on the tree in your courtyard ' from there he went to meet the cobbler 18:00 the cobbler again welcomed him ; Maharaj did you go to Vaikunth; Narada said yes I did 18:07 what was Narayan doing when you met him ; Narada said he was taking an elephant 18:13 through the eye of an needle ;  the moment the cobbler heard he started dancing 18:27 Narada said "you believed? " Can God take an elephant through the eye of a needle 18:34 that illiterate cobbler he said maharaj 18:39 my God is such that from a little seed 18:44 He manifests this huge banyan tree when God can do so much 18:52 what is the difficulty for Him to take an elephant through the eye of a needle 18:57  the fact is that God is "kartum akartum, anyathakartum samartha" 19:04 He can do the proper things, the contradictory things and both of them simultaneously 19:12 so to limit God to the level of our intellect ; I can understand him to be only so much little 19:19 which is not a very complete definition of God 19:25 hence Kripaluji Maharaja is writing here that the shaktimaan has got infinite shaktis 19:34 but in order to grasp it ;  just divide them into these three 19:41 one is maya one is jeev and one is para shakti 19:49 the Vishnu Puran says the same thing so after explaining that there are these three main shaktis yoga maya, jeev and 20:29 maya ; now let's see what he talks about in regard to the jiva now he's explaining the relationship of the jeev (the soul) 21:46 with the Paramatma ' what is our relationship 21:53 with the world it's a temporary relationship 21:59 one day we will leave everybody and go away by ourselves 22:06 today we heard in maharaji's lecture in the morning that when we leave 22:12 we will have to make this last journey by ourselves 22:19 so all these temporary relationships will come to an end 22:25 and with God we have a permanent relationship 22:31 what is our relationship with him he is our eternal father 22:36 some people look on him as the eternal mother 22:41 and the vedas also say o soul you are the child of God 22:52 Shri Krishna says I am the seed giving father 22:59 so He is our father we are his little children 23:04 agreed yes but there's a problem here if we are the children of God 23:11 then we should be like God ; from a human being a human being is born 23:18 from an elephant an elephant is born from a horse a horse is born ; you don't find horses taking birth from 23:25 elephants and humans taking birth from horses and elephants taking birth from humans 23:32 like father like son if we are God's children we should be like him 23:38 He is sarva-shakti 23:44 and we souls are alpagya (with little knowledge) ; we have this little knowledge we are under maya 23:51 we are being afflicted by tri-gun 23:57 all the melodies of the material energy then how 24:03 come we are his children 24:09 actually Shri Krishna has said in the Gita "all being are my children" 24:18 this soul is not a child of God in the manner 24:27 as in the world from a father and mother a child is born 24:33 the soul is a fragment of God 24:39 ansh because the soul is a fragment of God 24:45 it is considered child of God ; like you can say the earth is a child of 24:53 the Sun it's a little fragment or you can say a little rock is a child 24:59 of the mountain so in the same way the soul is a 25:05 fragment of God 25:11 the brahma says 25:19 the soul is a tiny bit a little drop of the ocean 25:36 so now our relationship with God has become more clear 25:42 what is our relationship with him we are his tiny little fragments 25:51 so far so good does it make sense but there's still a problem 25:57 if we are little fragments of God then is God like some boulder who was 26:03 hit with a hammer and he got fragmented ; you know Microsoft has this 26:10 defragmentation feature possibly you could defragment the souls back into God 26:16 and if God got fragmented in this manner then he became less than before 26:23 in what way is the soul a fragment of God the Paramatma 26:38 the soul is not a fragment in the way a boulder is fragmented 26:46 the soul is the shakti of God the soul 26:53 is an energy of God because it is an energy in manner of 27:00 speaking you can say it as a fragment of God like the material energies and energy 27:08 of the Supreme ; yoga maya is also a shakti of that Shaktiman 27:14 and the soul is also shakti 27:25 so what is the nature of this shakti Kripaluji Maharaj says 27:32 it is "tatastha" now we are going to get a little philosophic be prepared 27:43 "tatastha" means it is a borderline energy 27:49 there is one bahiranga shakti, external energy that is maya 27:55 because God is Chaitanya (sentient),  maya is jada so it's a bahiranga 28:02 external energy of God and then there is the internal energy of 28:08 God which is yoga maya ; yoga maya is serva samarth all powerful 28:15 just like God is all powerful 28:22 so the soul - is it a part of maya shakti ?  it cannot be if the soul was a fragment 28:29 of the maya shakti the soul would have been jad (insentient) like maya 28:36 now supposing I say that Shaniel, you're sitting just like the dholak 28:43  what kind of simile have you given here 28:48 don't compare me with the dholak, the dholak is insentient and I am sentient 28:54 so the soul is sentient, it is not a part of maya shakti 29:02 is the soul a part of yoga maya if we had been a part of yogmaya we 29:09 would have been sarva-samartha (all capable) like Durga Sita Kali Lakshmi we would also have been 29:17 sarva-samartha so we are not a part of yoga maya either. 29:23 then we are in between - we are sentient we have consciousness but we are tiny 29:33 just like there is the Sun and a little spark 29:40 the Sun will not get extinguished but the spark can get extinguished 29:45 so because we are tiny the material energy has overpowered us 30:06 jeev is the borderline energy and bheda- abheda means simultaneously one and different 30:15 so we are tiny and hence because we are 30:21 the material energy maya has overpowered us ; 30:28 consider this analogy it is night outside 30:34 now put light lamps all over ; 30:40 yesterday there was a lot of fireworks going on when we were going back we saw the fireworks right 30:46 but did the night disappear despite the fireworks it did not disappear 30:52 and suppose the stars are also there in the sky it's a cloudless night 30:58 now will the night go away it will still not go away 31:04 and suppose it's a full moon night 31:11 all these together don't have the ability to remove the 31:19 darkness of the night 31:38  the moment the Sun rises the night has disappeared 31:44 you may not be able to see it it's a cloudy morning even without being able to see it 31:51 the Sun has still made the night vanish 31:56 so like the Sun is God and 32:02 like the little star is the soul hence Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said 32:09 Krishna surya sama, maya hoye andhkar, Jahan Krishna, maya nahin adhikar  ,i.e., Krishna like Sun but maya is like darkness & wherever Krishna is there, maya cannot exist there.   32:18 and moment krishna is gone then the material energy maya overpowers us 32:30 so originally we are supposed to be as the shakti of God ; what is the 32:38 the work of the shakti what is the shakti supposed to do 32:48 the shakti is supposed to serve the shaktimaan, the shakti has got only one purpose to 32:55 serve the shaktimaan and hence our original nature is servant 33:01 of God ; not only our nature the nature of everything in creation 33:31 every living entity and non-living item they are all servants of God 33:39 some of them know it and some of them don't know it so originally we are 33:44 supposed to be a servant of God because we are his shakti 33:49 but the problem is that we are under the material energy maya 33:55 and in this illusion the attitude of serving has not gone 34:02 BUT the only problem is now we are serving maya 34:08 somebody is joru ka gulam there is that story about Akbar 34:15 Akbar said that Birbal it be announced in his court 34:20 that all of my ministers whichever of them is not joruka gulam 34:26 not a servant of his wife,  tomorrow they will stand on this side and all the others will stand on this 34:32 side so the next day everybody came and stood on this side they are all servants of 34:38 their wife ; she is the high command and one person came and stood on this side 34:44 so Akbar said you are not a servant of your wife he said actually I am but she asked me 34:49 to stand on this side 34:55 the wife is serving the husband ; you are serving your children ; you are serving your boss 35:01 the boss says your job is in danger and you need to work harder ; so morning & night you're serving your boss you are 35:08 serving Ericsson and Samsung and all these people ;so we are all doing 35:14 service of the material energy maya 35:20 but originally we are all servants of God

Bhagavad Gita TOP 3 RULES To Face Any Problems In Life

2.34 the only way to overcome Maya is to earn the grace of Lord. I am astonished why all the motivational speakers don't talk of grace of Lord https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=154 3.11 you go to meet a friend but the dog greets you with his bark & growl ; when all your means fail and you have no option left you call out to the owner of the dog who subdues/ neutralises the dog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=191 4.44 in the same way Maya can be subdued only by God's intervention , when we try yog, yagya, jap, tap, vrat, pooja and none of these techniques succeed,  finally we cry out to the Lord,  You please help me. And when his grace descends then we get the ability to overcome the material energy & any difficulty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=284 8.19  There will always be negative people and negative circumstances around. That is how this life is designed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=499 8.49  So the saintly person says never mind, these are also blessings, and amidst negativity to remain positive - this is sadhna all about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=529 9.26 There is a reason to be disturbed but you are not disturbed ; there is a reason to be attached but you are not attached. There is a reason to be proud but you are normal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=566 9.42 when you do that you take these negative situations as opportunities for austerity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=582 10.01 Krishna says: those who have purified their hearts and thereby destroyed their accumulated sins, they become free from the illusion of dualities https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=601 10.28 Incident of a boy from an extremely rich father. Boy wanted a gift of Ferrari car from his father on his graduation but father gifted a book of Gita instead. Boy was turned off & left home. After 1 year he came back home & mother told him that father had passed away that morning itself. The boy was grief struck. He explored various memories left my father and he picked up Gita respectfully (which was given by father but the boy had not accepted that) and found a receipt of Ferrari company which said that full payment had been done for that Ferrari car. It means that father had indeed purchased a Ferrari as desired by the boy but the father did not tell the boy about that. Hence, the father did not package his deal nicely for his son. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=628 14.06 in the same way we want God also to package His gifts to us the way we want ; but He gives it the way He wants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=846 14:15 he has his own way of bestowing his mercy upon us and that is why we deaden ourselves to the miracle of God which is happening whether we like it or we don't like it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=855 14:31 so the secret then to awaken your best self is to exalt the ordinary moment to the extraordinary moment to live each moment to the full to do every little bit as if it is the service of God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=871 15:03 an old Indian Fable relates that a mouse came to reside in a Sages ashram now the mouse was scared of the cat which was already living there out of mercy upon it the sage transformed it into a cat now it was scared of the dog in that monastery the sage again took pity and blessed it to become a dog however it's fear persisted because there were lions in the nearby Woods the sage finally out of frustration said https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=903 15.48 you will never be cured as you have the heart of a mouse and become a mouse again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=948 15:58 what is this fear that paralyzes us from taking action and that hijacks our rational thinking let's first hear about it from the Bhagavad-Gita Lord Krishna in 12.15 has said that my devotees who do not fear are very dear to me I am reading from the commentary Bhagavad-Gita the song of God the cause of fear and anxiety is attachment it makes us yearn for the subject of attachment and fear separation from it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=958 16.42: the moment we become detached from material objects we become Fearless the devotees are not only free from attachment they are also in harmony with the will of God hence they experience neither fear nor anxiety https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1002 17:09 Maharana Pratap was a famous rajput King who stood up  against the Mughal Invaders in medieval times he was informed there was a spy in his Palace and he had better be careful for a plot on his life he must keep four bodyguards with him all the time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1029 17:35  Maharana Pratap  gave a classic response his end I would rather die once than live at every moment in the fear of death https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1055 17:50 so what is the worst case scenario is it that bad ?  somebody said "fear not that your life will come to an end, rather fear that it never had any beginning" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1070 18:07 as per the Bhagavad-Gita main cause for fear is attachment if you are attached to sensual enjoyment you will fear disease if you are attached to high position you will fear downfall with if you are attached to wealth you will dread penury (loss of wealth) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1087 18:47  the moment we become virakt or detached we become fearless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1127 18:56 let's take inspiration from Bal Gangadhar Tilak who was the first leader of India's independent struggle and he was the one who presented the slogan freedom is my Birthright I want complete and absolute freedom for my country from the colonialists https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1136 19:29 Bal Gangadhar Tilak was so active in political life & was also a deeply spiritual person and he wrote an extremely scholarly commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita he lived his life as per the precepts of Karma Yoga taught by Lord Krishna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1169 19:52 there is a wonderful story about him once British police came to arrest him and they said that we need to put you in prison as per section 126 of the penal code he said please give me a couple of minutes to freshen up and he told his friend find out what are my rights under Section 126 of the penal code and then he allowed the police to take him and get him incarcerated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1192 20:28 when his friend came a few hours later to the prison to meet Bal Gangadhar Tilak he was astonished to find tilak blissfully sleeping and snoring without a care in the world he had done what was required but was free from Fear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1228 20:53 it is  said that once his son became unwell and the wife came to him while he was in office and said our son is not doing well at all Tilak called for the doctor to see him and continued working the wife was frantic and she said your son is unwell you have no fear he said I have informed the doctor what else can I do and thereby he exemplified the fact that the root cause of fear is attachment and the way to overcome it is to free our mind from all kinds of attachments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1253

Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj Pravachan Part 5.mp4

0.07 हम इतना अहंकार करते हैं अपनी बुद्धि पर - कौन संत है कौन संत नहीं है, अरे अपनी पत्नी, अपने पति, अपने बेटे बेटी को, यहाँ तक की स्वयं अपने आप को तो आप समझ नहीं पाए - संत और भगवान को क्या समझोगे ?

0.27 आप स्वयं अपने मन को नहीं समझ पाए, तुम को तुम्हारा ही मन नचा रहा है आदि काल से, 84,00,000 योनियों में घूमा रहा है, अगर मन की 420 हरकतों को समझ पाते, तो मन की बात को नहीं मानते,  सारा कसूर मन का है

1.55 ये मानव देह इतनी मुश्किल से, इतने भाग्य से मिला है असीम कृपा हैं भगवान की, देवता भी मानव देह मांगते है

2.50 मानव देह भी मिल गया, मान लो संत / गुरु  भी मिल गए, मगर एक गलती हमने कर दी की श्रद्धा नहीं रखी

3.35: हमारी बुद्धि ने गड़बड़ करके अहंकार कर के, श्रद्धा नहीं होने दी

3.45 India का कानून America Russia में नहीं लगता तो बुद्धि जो केवल चमड़े की आँख और पंचभूत (5 senses of perception) से दिखाई देने पर विश्वास करती है तो जो भगवान पर्दे के पीछे है और मन बुद्धि इन्द्रियों से परे हैं, उनपर कैसे विश्वास करेगी बुद्धि - इसलिए पहले मानना पड़ता है उसके बाद जाना जाता है

4.14 "गो गोचर जहां लग मन जाई, सो सब माया" - (गोचर = whatever is accessible) wherever our physical eyes can see, all is illusion (माया)   

5.12: राजा जनक की सभा में अष्टवक्र ऋषि (bent at 8 places in body) गए और सब ने उनका मजाक बनाया और हँसे, अष्टवक्र ने उन सबको चमार कह डाला, क्योंकि चमार केवल चमड़ी (skin) की पहचान करता है आंतरिक गुणों को नहीं देखता

7.14 बेर का फल बाहर इतना सुन्दर और भीतर इतनी बड़ी गुठली जबकि नारियल बाहर से कुरूप मगर अंदर से सफेद पौष्टिक

7.30  केवल बाहर देखना मूर्खों का काम है और भीतर देखना बुद्धिमानों का काम है

8.17 अब संत महापुरुष के पास कौन सी डिग्री है आप तो बुद्धि लगाएंगे इसलिए श्रद्धा नहीं जागेगी

9.20 महापुरुष को महापुरुष मान लेना ये ही श्रद्धा है, वो जो कहें तो क्यों, किंतु, परंतु, लेकिन, कुछ नहीं करना, जैसी हम डॉक्टर की बात 100% मानते हैं, ऐसे ही spiritual doctor की बात को मानो

11.20 इसलिए पहले श्रद्धा हो फिर मांगिए सतसंग

11.34 पारस और लोहे का उदाहरण, जब तक दोनों संग नहीं मिलेंगे तो सोना नहीं बनेगा, ऐसे ही यदि गुरु सच्चा है मगर शिष्य शरणागत नहीं है, श्रद्धा नहीं है, तो बात नहीं बनेगी

12.48 यदि ब्रह्मा जी भी आ जाए गुरु बनकर और एक ऐसा शिष्य जो शरणागत नहीं है तो शिष्य का कल्याण नहीं होगा

14.0 नास्तिक लोग ऐसा बोलते हैं : यदि कृपालु जी के कहने से सभी भगवान की और चले जाएं तो संसार तो खत्म हो जाएगा

14.37: महापुरुष असली है और शिष्य शरणागत है त ही बात बनेगी, अगर गुरु नकली है तो कहेगा  कि सुन्दर कांड पड़ लो, गीता का बारहवां अध्याय पढ़ लो, इतनी बार जप कर लो, वगैरह- वगैरह

15.40 जितने भी संसार में मंत्र है सबका दो ही अर्थ है: 1. हे भगवान आप पर नमन हैं 2. हे भगवान हम आपकी शरण में हैं

17.45 ऐसे नकली गुरु का प्रवचन है जैसे नकली चेक (like no money in bank but cheque issued)

महाविष्णु vs. श्री कृष्ण - क्या है अंतर Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj Pravachan.mp4

0.20 भगवान में भी कोई भेद होता है -  हाँ, रसिकों में होता है

0.40 श्रीकृष्ण के अनंत अवतार हुए

1.24 अनंतकोटी ब्रह्मांड है आप तो एक छोटे से ब्रह्मांड में बैठे हैं, चतुर्मुखी ब्रह्मा के ब्रह्मांड में, जितने ज्यादा मुख ब्रह्मा के होते हैं उतना ही बड़ा ऊन ब्रह्मा का ब्रह्मांड होता है, एक हजार मुख, एक लाख मुख, एक करोर मुख के भी ब्रह्मा होते हैं

2.06 अलग अलग ब्रह्मांडों में अलग अलग अवतार भगवान के होते ही रहते हैं हर क्षण

2.30 श्रीकृष्ण के चार प्रमुख रूप हैं 1. महाविष्णु, चार भुजा वाले नारायण

4.49 जब भगवान के अनंत अवतार हैं तो उनके लोग भी अनंत होंगे, भगवान की कोई भी चीज़ सीमित नहीं है

5.20 भगवान स्वयं कहते हैं कि मेरा जन्म यानी अवतार, मेरे कर्म, नाम आदि अनंत हैं - भगवान खुद कहते हैं कि मैं भी नहीं बता सकता कि कितने हैं

5.55 सब लोकों में सर्वोच्च है वैकुंठ

6.23 बहुत ही अल्पज्ञ लोग तो कहते हैं कि फलाने का स्वर्गवास हो गया, 99.9% लोग मरे हुए को कहते हैं, लिखते हैं "स्वर्गीय" और जिन्होंने सत्संग में भाग लिया है वो मरने वाले को "वैकुंठ वास" कहते हैं  

7.07 "yad gatvā na nivartante, tad dhāma paramaṁ mama" *Gita Shloka* 15.6: "That supreme abode of Mine is not illumined by the sun or moon, nor by fire or electricity. Those who reach it never return to this material world."  https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/15/6/

7.35 बैकुंठ में श्रीकृष्ण का चारभुजा वाला रूप, बहुत ऐश्वर्ग (opulent) है

8.19 जितनो को भगवान ने स्वयं मारा और सब बैकुंठ गए

9.50 वैकुंठ से ज्यादा अधिक सरस (माधुर्य) रूप कृष्ण का है द्वारका में, ऐश्वर्ग वैकुंठ से कम है,  जहाँ 16,108 पटरानियां रही थीं,सब का एक अलग महल था और प्रत्येक के 10 बच्चे थे

10.41 द्वारका से ज्यादा अधिक सरस (माधुर्य) रूप कृष्ण का है मथुरा में और ऐश्वर्ग बहुत ही कम है

11.01 और सबसे अधिक रस (माधुर्य) वृंदावन का है, ये ही है नंदनंदन का स्वरूप

11.14 फिर लगभग 100 वर्ष पहले एक संत गोवर्धन की तलहेटी में, उन्हें साक्षात नन्द नंदन के दर्शन हुआ करते थे, पूरे किस्से का वर्णन किया है

16.53 वृंदावन में नंदनंदन का केवल है 100% माधुर्य रूप है, ऐश्वर्ग बिल्कुल नहीं

17.15 जब ठाकुरजी के पिटने की बारी आई यशोदा मैया से, तो चोरी छुपे ऐशवर्ग शक्ति आयी चोरी छिपे, यशोदा मैया को विकराल रूप दिखाया, मगर फिर ऐशवर्ग शक्ति भगा दी गयी ठाकुरजी द्वारा

17.52 ऐसे मौके-मौके पर उनकी ऐशवर्ग शक्ति आती रही नंदनंदन के पास, चोरी छिपे - प्रकट रूप से नहीं

18.02 ठाकुरजी सदा अपने को दास मानते रहे - सदा, नाटक (acting) नहीं - मन से, सखाओं, गोपियों, माँ बाप को सुख देना है, जो जिस भाव से प्यार कर रहा है, उसे उसी भाव से सुख देना है - यही है माधुर्य भावया भक्तों का कान्त भाव, तुम जो भक्ति का सर्वोच्च भाव है

19.20 : श्यामसुन्दर ही हमारे स्वामी हैं, सखा हैं, पुत्र हैं, पति हैं -सब भावनाएँ एक साथ - इसे माधुर्य भाव कहते हैं, संसार में जबकि ऐसा नहीं होता ऐसा करोगे तो पिट जाओगे, mentalhospitalभेज दिए जाओगे

20.10 तो नन्दनंदन पूर्ण भंडार है माधुर्य भाव के

0.0 स्वर्ग में भी आनंद नहीं मिलता, हाँ  कुछ सुख तो है मगर अस्थायी, वहाँ पर कुछ सुख भोगकर वापस मृत्युलोक में आना पड़ता है 

1.38 स्वर्ग में इंद्र भी ब्रह्मा का पद चाहते हैं, कोई यदि मृत्युलोक में भी तपस्या करे, तो इन्द्र परेशान हो जाते हैं कि कहीं उनका आसन ना छिन जाए, तो मेनका उर्वशी को भेजते हैं ताकि तपस्या भंग हो, ताकि इंद्र का आसान बना रहे, देखिये स्वर्ग के प्रधान में भी ईर्ष्या है

3.23 कर्मका फल स्वर्ग, वो भी अगर ठीक ठाक तरीके से किये गए हों - अन्यथा दंड - ऐसे कर्म को "नमस्कार" (यानी क्या लाभ, कर्म इतनी मेहनत के साथ करने की - और वो भी नश्वर स्वर्ग के लिए)

3.39 स्वर्ग भी मृत्युलोक की तरह ही है वहाँ भी तीनों प्रकार के दुख है आधिभौतिक आधिदैविक और आध्यात्मिक

4.19 आध्यात्मिक दुख दो प्रकार का होता है शारीरिक और मन - शारीरिक यानि रोग, दर्द, बुड़ापा और मन का यानि काम, क्रोध, लोभ, मोह, ईर्ष्या

4.46 शारीरिक रूप से कितना भी स्वस्थ कोई हो अगर मन से मन के रोग से पीड़ित हैं तो खरबपति होने का भी क्या लाभ - depression में चला जाएगा - सुख नहीं मिल सकता

6.08  आदि भौतिक दुख - जो दूसरे से मिलता है

7.30 दुष्ट का स्वभाव है दूसरों को विपत्ति मेँ देख कर खुश होना और दूसरों की खुशी में दुखी होना

7.35 आप समझ गए की कर्म धर्म का पालन ही असंभव और अगर हो भी जाए तो केवल स्वर्ग ही मिलेगा, वहाँ भी सब दुख हैं, इसलिए कर्म धर्म के मार्ग को "नमस्कार" (यानी इसे करने का कोई लाभ नहीं है)

7.53 आप ज्ञान मार्ग की तरफ देखें, ये तो और भी कठिन है इसकी तो कल्पना भी न कीजिए   

8.22 ज्ञान के बारे में कहना ही कठिन है, उदाहरण : जैसे कोई कहे कि मैं ब्रह्म हूँ तू भाई सभी ब्रह्म है तो कौन किसको उपदेश कर रहा है ब्रह्म ब्रह्म को उपदेश कर रहा है ? - सब बकवास

9.15 शंकराचार्य से किसी ने पूछा की ज्ञान कब समझ में आएगा, उन्होंने कहा चार साधन पूरे कर लो उसके बाद समझ में आएगा, सम (मन पर नियंत्रण, जो कि परमहंसों को भी नहीं हो पाता - जो इंद्रियों को भी नियंत्रण में कर लेते है हो मन को नियंत्रण में नहीं कर पाते), दम

11.35 अर्जुन जो इंद्रियों को बस में कर चके थे मगर मन को नहीं

11.57 अर्जुन ने भगवान श्रीकृष्ण से कहा कि मन बहुत चंचल है

12.36 दुनिया के 6 अरब आदमी में 6 लोग भी नहीं मिलेंगे जो कहें कि हमारा मन पर नियंत्रण है

13.05 ज्ञान मार्ग तो कलयुग में सर्वथा असंभव है,

13.12 और यदि कोई ज्ञान मार्ग पर चलें भी तो अनेक विघ्न आएँगे उससे क्योंकि भगवान उस की रक्षा नहीं करते, क्योंकि ऐसा ज्ञानी अपने बल पर चलता है

13.28 और भक्ति मार्ग वाले भगवान के बल पर चलते हैं
