Full Text  1  My name is Pragyan, sometimes when I look at the world, I feel there is so much bad going around, I feel why God just sits and does nothing, it makes me wonder if God actually exists at all ? Pragyan, your question is a very common one, people see suffering in this world, they see suffering as a reality and then they wonder that if there is a God, why does He not finish the suffering that exists in the world  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=5  2  first of all there is a definition of God that is universally accepted that He is All Knowing, He is All Powerful. So if he is All knowing, is He not aware of our sufferings and if He is aware that He is All Powerful, does’nt He have the ability to finish our sufferings ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=42  3  In fact the reason why this flooding happened in Uttarakhand, it converted many people into disbelievers and atheists. I met so many people who said my belief in God has been shaken, he said if there is a God why does He permit this to happen ?  We can make a lot of expectations from God, forget about finishing sufferings, why does’nt God make me fully knowledgeable ? It is within His ability to do so, why God doesn’t release me from the Material Energy ?  Why is He leaving me here in this world in the first place, why doesn’t He make me a God realized saint ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=67  4  Now let us think that whether these demands that we put on God are actually reasonable ? Take God out of the picture for a while and consider the government of the country, we have prisoners & we have got so many prison houses in our country. Now if a prisoner says it is within the purview of the powers of the Government to release me, why is the Government not releasing me? Why is the government so dysfunctional ?  The Government will say it is within our purview and jurisdiction but the question is you take a look at what you deserve. You are in the prison house because that is what you deserve and that is what you are getting from us, don't blame us, blame yourself  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=124  5  similarly God's purview and jurisdiction is infinite but we should take a look at what we Deserve. It is said that the law of God is that you do not get what you desire, you get what you deserve. We are here in this material realm which is ultimately a place of suffering  and we are here because this is what we deserved out of our own free volition (wish) & out of our own free choice, we made the decision that I wish to turn my back towards God and the choice of ours to turn away from God brought us here in this material realm, so we are here by our own free choice  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=190  6  now the world is a place of suffering, because it is ultimately like the prison house of God, it is for souls like us who have not chosen God, who have chosen to go away from God in our consciousness and hence we are suffering in this world  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=248  7  for example, if you visit a hospital and you find all patients there and then you go to the manager's office and say why is it that this building is full of sick people, what is wrong here ? Here the manager will say that you are looking in a Hospital  & it's natural you will find sick people, similarly when we look in this material world where materially conditioned souls reside, it is natural that we find suffering, that is the nature of this world, “Dukhalayam (house of sorrows) Ashashwatam (temporary)” don't blame God for it. If you want better, you deserve better & how do you deserve better ? By turning around towards God, by becoming God conscious, by surrendering to Him  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=269  8  and then God says this is not my only Abode, I have My Divine Abode, “verse” He says, Arjun, having gone where once, the soul never returns to this place of suffering again, that is My divine Abode.  If we want to see God's creation free from suffering, full of knowledge, full of love, full of bliss, we have His divine Abode which is referred to as Golok, Saket Lok, Vaikunth Lok Shiva Lok, Devi Lok, Paravyom (spiritual sky), it has got many names  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=331  9  but if we are looking in this world, then we should not be astonished when we this suffering & ultimately this suffering also has a purpose. We want a world where we are happy and if we don't get happiness, we blame God and say there is a fault in His design but this world was not made for us to be happy, the world was made for us to learn, to grow, to evolve and to rise  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=382  10  it's just like a child goes to school or to a college, now the child may say, why do we have this examination system out here ? I want to pass without having to give Exams, so the teachers will say,  the purpose of the school is not that you pass and go in to the next class, the purpose of the school is that you learn and the examination system is just to encourage you learn, if you are to pass without learning, the examination system would not succeed  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=420  11  similarly in this world if we were to become happy without becoming better people, the purpose of God’s world would not be served.  That is why both these have to assist - these dualities of happiness and distress, of actions and their good and bad consequences, so when suffering comes in our lives and when we see suffering in the world, we must not be swayed away from our faith in God, we must understand that suffering has been placed in the world for a purpose and  God's purpose is that we should be inspired to move away from sin, to move away from forgetfulness of God and from worldly consciousness to Spiritual Consciousness and thereby claim that spiritual inheritance which is ours, as children of God – His inheritance is His Divine Knowledge, His Divine Love, His Divine Bliss and which is waiting for all of us if we can only turn around towards Him  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=459  12  So if we do see any suffering in this world, it is God's way of telling us to move away from worldly consciousness in the direction of spiritual consciousness  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=541  13  for example, when you put your hand in the fire, two things happen, the first is your hand starts getting burnt and the second is you experience pain, now the hand getting burnt is a bad thing and the pain is a good thing,  we want to run away from the pain and we say, ah, so terrible, if I could take a pain killer and finish this pain, everything would be alright but if we did not experience the pain we would not realize that our hand is burning and the loss would be tremendous,  so the pain is a blessing and the burning of the hand is the wrong thing similarly in our state of forgetfulness from God we are experiencing suffering, that suffering from the divine perspective is actually a blessing that is letting us know there is something wrong, there is something that I should be doing, what I am not doing and that suffering then puts us on to the right track  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=557  14  so there is really no fault in the design of God and if our faith gets shaken when we see the suffering in the world, we must enhance our knowledge, our understanding of the nature of God, the nature of the self,  the reason why we are here and when our faith becomes situated on this solid platform of knowledge, we will find that no matter what we see, no matter what we hear, our faith is not shaken, in fact it is further enhanced & further strengthened  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJC8N-JlXwM&t=639  Transcript 0:05 My name is 0:07 Pragyan sometimes when I look at the world I feel there is so much bad 0:11 Going around I feel why God just sits and does nothing 0:15 it makes me wonder if God actually 0:18 exists at all? 0:19 Pragyan your question is a very common one 0:25 people see suffering in this world they see 0:30 Suffering as a reality 0:32 And then they wonder that if there is a god why  0:38 Does He not finish the suffering that exists in the 0:42 World first of all there is a definition of God 0:46 That is universally accepted that He is All knowing, He is All  0:52 Powerful 0:53 So if he is All knowing, is he not aware of Our 0:58 Sufferings and if he is aware that he is all powerful 1:02 Does’nt He have the ability to finish our 1:05 Sufferings  1:07 In fact the reason why this flooding happened in 1:12 Uttarakhand it converted many people into 1:15 Disbelievers and atheists 1:19 I met so many people who said my 1:22 Belief in God has been shaken he said if there is a God 1:26 Why he permit this to happen 1:31 We can make a lot of expectations from 1:38 God forget about finishing sufferings why does’nt 1:42 God make me fully knowledgeable 1:45 It is within His ability to do 1:48 So why  1:51 God doesn’t release me from the Material 1:54 Energy why is He leaving me in the first 1:57 Place why doesn’t He make me a God realized  2:02 Saint  2:04 Now let us think that whether these demands that we put on 2:09 God are actually 2:12 Reasonable take God out of the picture for 2:16 A while and consider the government of the 2:20 Country we have prisoners because we got 2:25 So many prison houses in our country and 2:28 We have these prisoners 2:30 Now if a prisoner says it is within the purview of the 2:35 Powers of the government to release me,  2:38 Why is the government not releasing me?  2:42 Why is the government so 2:47 Dysfunctional The government will say it is within 2:51 Our purview and jurisdiction 2:54 but the question is you take a look at what 2:58 You deserve 3:00 You are in the prison house because that is what you 3:03 Deserve and that is what you are getting from us 3:07 don't blame us, blame 3:10 Yourself  similarly  God's purview and jurisdiction 3:14 is 3:15 Infinite but we should take a look at what we 3:19 Deserve it is said that the law of God is 3:24 That You do not get what you 3:27 Desire you get what you deserve 3:32 We are here in this material 3:35 Realm which is ultimately a place of 3:39 Suffering and we are here because this is what we 3:43 Deserve out of our own free volition & out of our own free choice  3:47 we made the decision that I wish 3:51 To turn my back towards 3:54 God and the choice of ours to turn away from 3:58 God brought us here in this material realm  4:03 so we are here by our own free  4:08 Choice now the world is a place of suffering 4:13 Because it is ultimately like the prison 4:17 house of God it is for souls like us who 4:21 Have not chosen God who have chosen to go away 4:26 From God in our consciousness 4:29 And hence we are suffering in this world for 4:36 Example if you visit a 4:39 Hospital and you find all patients there 4:43 And then you go to the manager's office and say 4:46 Why is it that this building is full of sick 4:49 People what is wrong here ?  4:51 Here the manager will say you are looking in a 4:55 Hospital it's natural you will find sick 4:58 People, similarly  5:00 When we look in this material world where  5:04 Materially conditioned souls reside it is natural 5:08 We find suffering, that is the nature of this 5:12 World Dukhalayam Ashashwatam don't blame God for it 5:17 If you want better you deserve better how do you 5:22 Deserve better by turning around towards God 5:26 By becoming God conscious By surrendering to Him  5:31 And then God says this is not my only 5:37 Abode, I have My Divine Abode,  “verse”  5:44 5:49 He says, Arjun, having gone where once the soul 5:55 Never returns to this place of suffering again 5:58 That is my divine 6:00 Abode if we want to see God's creation 6:04 Free from suffering full of knowledge full of love 6:08 Full of bliss we have his divine Abode 6:12 Which is Referred to as Golok, Saket Lok, Vaikunth Lok 6:17 Shiva Lok, Devi Lok Paravyom (spiritual sky),it has got many 6:22 Names but one we are looking in this world 6:26 Then we should not be astonished 6:30 When we this suffering & ultimately this suffering also 6:36 Has a purpose we want a world where we are happy 6:41 and if we don't get happiness we blame God 6:43 and say there is a fault in His 6:46 design but this world was not made for us 6:50 to be happy the world was made for us 6:54 to learn to grow to evolve and to rise  7:00 it's just like a child goes to school or 7:02 to 7:04 A college now the child may say why do we 7:07 have this examination system out here i 7:10 want to pass without having to give 7:14 exams so the teachers will say the purpose of the 7:18 school is not that you pass and go in to the 7:21 next class the purpose of the school is that 7:25 you learn and the examination system is just 7:30 to encourage you 7:33 learn if you are to pass without learning the 7:36 examination system would not 7:39 succeed  similarly in this world if we were to 7:42 become happy without becoming better people the 7:47 purpose of God’s world would not be 7:50 served that is why both these have to assist 7:56 these dualities of happiness 7:57 and distress of actions and their good and 8:02 bad consequences 8:04 so when suffering comes in our lives and when we 8:10 see suffering in the world we must not be 8:14 Swayed away from our faith in God we must 8:18 Understand that suffering has been placed in the 8:22 World for a purpose and God's purpose is that we should 8:28 Be 8:29 Inspired to move away from 8:33 Sin to move away from forgetfulness of God and 8:38 From worldly consciousness 8:40 And claim that spiritual inheritance 8:45 Which is ours as children of God which is His Divine 8:49 Knowledge His Divine Love His Divine Bliss and 8:54 Which is waiting for all of us if we can only turn around towards Him 9:01 So if we do see any suffering in this world 9:06 It is God's way of telling us to move away 9:11 From worldly consciousness in the direction 9:15 Of spiritual consciousness 9:17 For 9:20 Example when you put your hand in the 9:24 Fire two things happen the first is your hand 9:29 Starts Getting burnt and the second is you experience 9:34 Pain now the hand getting burned is a bad 9:38 Thing and the pain is a good 9:41 Thing we want to run away from the 9:44 pain and we say ah so terrible if I could take a 9:48 pain killer and finish this 9:51 pain everything would be 9:53 alright but if we did not experience the pain we 9:58 would not realize that our hand is burning 10:02 and the loss would be tremendous so the pain is a 10:07 blessing and the burning of the hand is the 10:10 wrong thing similarly in our state of 10:14 forgetfulness from God we are experiencing 10:17 suffering that suffering from the divine 10:22 perspective is actually a blessing that 10:26 is letting us know there is something wrong, there is 10:30 something that I should be doing what I am not 10:33 doing and that suffering then puts us on to 10:38 the right 10:39 track so there is really no fault in the design 10:45 of 10:46 God and if our faith gets 10:51 Shaken when we see the suffering in the 10:53 world we must enhance our knowledge our 10:57 understanding 10:59 of the nature of God the nature of the self the reason 11:03 why we are here and when our faith becomes 11:07 situated on this solid platform of knowledge 11:11 we will find that no matter what we see no matter 11:16 what we hear our faith is not 11:22 Shaken, in fact it is further enhanced & further strengthened

Full Text  1  सबसे पहले मैं शरीर नहीं आत्मा हूँ, आत्मा की उपस्थित के करण ये शरीर चेतन वत हो गया, आंख देखती है, कान सुनते हैं, नासिका सूंघती है, क्योंकि आत्मा शरीर में है, जिस दिन आत्मा निकली, शरीर मिट्टी हो गया, राजा रंक फकीर सब बराबर हो गए  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=15  2  यह शरीर जो है यह मिट्टी का बना हुआ है, मिट्टी से आहार बना, अन्न तरकारी फल यह सब मिट्टी से बने, उस तरकारी फल को हम लोग खाए तो हमारा शरीर बना, वह शरीर में पहले रस बना, रस से रक्त, रक्त से मांस, मांस से मैदा, मैदे से हड्डी, हड्डी से मज्जा (bone-marrow)  यह शरीर का निर्माण हुआ आहार से, इसलिए संत लोग कहते हैं तुम्हारा शरीर एक मिट्टी का पात्र है, और जब आत्मा निकल जाएगी ये वापस मिट्टी में मिल जाएगा  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=50  3  शरीर के तीन अंत हो सकते हैं 1. या तो शरीर को जला दें जैसे हमारे हिंदू धर्म में जलाते हैं, आंख के सामने ही शरीर मिट्टी हो जाता है 2. कुछ लोग उसको जमीन में गाढ़ देते हैं तो भले वह बोर्ड लगाएं ऊपर से “Here lies John Smith”,  अरे बोर्ड लगाने से क्या होगा वह मिट्टी के किटाणु उसे खा के मिट्टी बना दिए, 3. कुछ लोग नदी में फेंक देते हैं, तो नदी के जीव जंतु खाकर पाखाना (potty) बना देते हैं, शरीर का अंत मिट्टी ही होगा, आत्मा की उपस्थिती के करण ये शरीर चेतन वत हो गया, आंख देखती है, कान सुनते हैं नासिका सूंघती है, क्योंकि आत्मा शरीर में है,  जिस दिन आत्मा निकली, शरीर पुनः मिट्टी हो गया, राजा रंक फकीर सब बराबर हो गए, इसलिए जब कोई मरता है तो हिंदी में कहते हैं हम उसकी माटी पर गए थे, कहाँ है वो माटी, अजी साहब उसका शरीर ही माटी है तो वह जो माटी का शरीर है उसको हम लोग “मैं” मानते हैं  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=100  4  अब हम किसी से पूछें, क्यों जी आपका परिचय आप कौन हैं बताइए, वह व्यक्ति अपना नाम बताता है, सर जी मेरा नाम है, गोविंद पटनायक, अरे पटनायक जी हम आपका नाम नहीं पूछे, हम आपसे पूछे आप कौन हैं, यह नाम जो है गोविंद, ये तो आपके माता-पिता ने आपको दिया जब आप 3 साल के थे, उससे पहले वह आपको क्या कहते थे,  उससे पहले मुझे पप्पू कहते थे, तो आप जब पप्पू थे क्या आप अलग व्यक्ति थे ? जब आप गोविंद पटनायक हो गए क्या आप बदल गए ? नहीं, मैं व्यक्ति तो वही हूं इसका मतलब आप नाम नहीं हैं, वरना तो नाम को बदलेंगे तो आप भी बदल जाएंगे  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=194  5  आप बताइए आप कौन हैं जी वो कलेक्ट्रेट (collectorate) में सीनियर क्लर्क हूँ, ये सीनियर क्लर्क आप जो बोल रहे हैं, यह आपकी पदवी है, आप पहले जूनियर क्लर्क थे, उससे पहले आप टेंपरेरी जॉइन (temporary join) किया थे तो उस समय भी आप वही व्यक्ति थे,  आपका पोस्ट अलग है, आप अलग हैं, अब आप बताइए आप कौन हैं, जी मैं Oodiya (from Orrissa) हूँ, देखिए ये तो आप शरीर के लिए बोल रहे हैं, तो पिछले जन्म में क्या थे जी मैं गुजराती था, उससे पहले बंगाली था, तो आपका शरीर बदलता रहता है, आप कौन हैं ये बताइए, उसको हम भूल ही गए कि मैं आत्मा हूँ  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=245  6  अगर मानते तो ये भी मानते कि मैं परमात्मा का अंश हूँ और यह भी मानते कि मेरे जीवन का लक्ष्य भगवान हैं, लेकिन हम तो अपने को मिट्टी का शरीर मान लिए, और शरीर संसार का अंश है, इसलिए हम संसार को अपना लक्ष्य बना लिए  और तीसरी विपरीत बुद्धि की परिस्थिति “दुखेशु” संसार के जो विषय का सेवन में हम सुख खोज रहे है और परिणाम में हमको दुख मिल रहा है , लेकिन हम उसी को सुख मान के भागते चले जा रहे हैं  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=301  7  भागते भागते किसी को सुख मिला क्या ? अगर हम पूछे यहां पर 2000 लोग बैठे हैं, हम पूछे यहां पर कोई fact में, वास्तव में सुखी हैं ? तो बताओ, एक व्यक्ति भी हाथ ऊपर नहीं करेगा  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=352  8  वेद व्यास कहते हैं, इस संसार में दो ही प्रकार के लोग सुखी हैं “verse”, एक वह सुखी है जो महापुरुष हो गया, उसको तो भगवान का आनंद मिल रहा है, कोई Doubt की बात ही नहीं, एक वो सुखी है जो पागल है, उसको पता ही नहीं कि वह दुखी है,  मान लो कोई शराब के नशे में वो अपने घर के सामने के नाले में गिर गया, शराब के नशे में आप उसको देखें, आपने कहा अरे भाई तुम यहां क्या कर रहे हो, जाओ अपने बेडरूम में लेटो, वह कहता है मैं बेडरूम में ही लेटा हूं और कहाँ लेटा हूं ?  अब शराब के करण उसकी बुद्धि भ्रष्ट हो गई है, उसको लगता है यह नाला ही बेडरूम है, ऐसे ही वेदव्यास ने कहा अगर कोई पागल हो गया है वह कह सकता है मैं सुखी हूँ बाकी सब को तो मानना पड़ेगा कि अभी तक तो सुख मिला नहीं  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=371  9  हम सब सुख के लिए भाग रहें है और इतना भागने के बाद भी सुख मिला नहीं, इससे क्या निर्णय निकालें कि हम गलत दिशा में भाग रहे हैं ! हम शरीर के इंद्रियों के विषयों के द्वारा शरीर को सुख देना चाहते हैं, और इससे आत्मा का प्रयोजन (Purpose) तो हल होगा ही नहीं  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=465  10  ये तो ऐसी बात है की आप एक मछली को पानी से निकाल दिए, और आप मछली को सुख देने का प्रयास किये, सुगंधित तेल से मछली की मालिश करो, एयर कंडीशनर लगा दो, उसका मुंह खोल के उसको Espresso coffee पिला दो, मछली देवी, तुझे सुख मिला ?  अब मछली बेचारी कुछ बोल तो सकती नहीं है, यदि बोल पाए तो यही कहेगी, मुझे यह सब नहीं चाहिए अरे मैं मछली हूं, मुझे सुख देना है तो वापस जल में डाल दो  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=496  11  ऐसे ही हम अपनी आत्मा को कहते हैं अच्छा चलो, चिल्ली का खेल चलो देखो, अब Darjeeling चलो, पहाड़ी के ऊपर मजा लो, तो आत्मा देवी, तुमको सुख मिला ? आत्मा कहती है, मैं तो पहले से भी दुखी हूं ! हम गलत दिशा में भाग रहे हैं  और इससे हमारी संतुष्टि नहीं हो रही, और यह गड़बड़ी कब से चल रही है ?  एक जनम की नहीं है, यह अनादि काल की है हमारी आत्मा जो है वह भी भगवान के समान अनादि है, ये हमारा पहला जन्म नहीं है, इससे पहले भी हम संसार में आए, उससे पहले भी हम आए हर बार भगवान हमको भुला देते हैं, हम भूल जाते हैं  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=538  12  अगर हम आपसे पूछें, पिछले जन्म में आपके पिताजी कौन थे ? अरे स्वामी जी, कुछ तो याद नहीं, इसी प्रकार से इस जन्म में आपके पिता माता मृत्यु पर सब भुला देते हैं, फिर से clean slate शुरू करते हैं, अब कुछ लोग कहते हैं कि भगवान हमको याद क्यों नहीं दिला देते पिछले जन्म में हम क्या थे, कहां थे ? भगवान हमको स्मरण दिला दें ना,  जी नहीं, ऐसा होने से तो बहुत गड़बड़ी हो जाएगी, मान लो कि एक व्यक्ति को पूर्व जन्म याद रहे कितना टेंशन में आ जाएगा, यह तो मेरी पत्नी थी अब यह इसकी पत्नी हो गई, अरे यह तो मेरी प्रॉपर्टी थी, अब उसकी प्रॉपर्टी हो गई, कितनी परेशानी हो जाएगी, अनंत जन्मों के अपमान हमको याद आ जाएंगे, हम लोग तो 2 साल पुरानी बात को सोचकर टेंशन करते हैं, 2 साल पहले ननद ने मुझे ऐसा बोल दिया था, हम उसी बात को सोचकर टेंशन लाते हैं  और यदि हमें अनंत जन्मों की बातें याद रह जाए, तो हमारे मस्तिष्क की स्थिति क्या होगी ? इसलिए भगवान ने कहा, मेरे प्यारे बच्चों तुमने जो जो किया पूर्व जन्म में, उसका हिसाब मैं रखूंगा, और सही समय पर तुमको फल भी देता जाऊंगा लेकिन तुमको पुराना जन्म याद नहीं रहेगा  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=602  13  नादि काल से हम मायाधीन (माया में घिरे हुए) घूम रहे हैं इस संसार में और हम गलत दिशा में आनंद खोज रहे हैं, हम चूने के पानी को मथ रहे हैं, और मक्खन की आशा करते हैं, मक्खन तो चूने के पानी में नहीं होता है वह दूध में, दही में होता है, तो इसी प्रकार से हम लोग जब समझेंगे कि हमारी आनंद की खोज गलत दिशा में चल रही है, तब फिर कल्याण का द्वारा खुलेगा  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=700  14  और यह गड़बड़ी का कारण क्या है ? कारण यह है कि हम अपने को शरीर मान बैठे हैं, इसलिए शरीर के सुख को अपना लक्ष्य बना लिया,  जैसे मान लो कोई गणित को यहां से शुरू करे, 2+2 = 5 अब इसके आगे जो भी जोड़ लगाएंगे, उत्तर गलत ही होगा और पुरानी गलती बढ़ती चली जाएगी अब दोनों sides को 10 से गुना करो, अब वो गलती बढ़ती जा रही है  ऐसे ही जब हम सोच लिए कि मैं तो शरीर हूं, तो शरीर के सुख को जीवन का लक्ष्य बना के भागते चले गए, अब हम निश्चय करें कि इस दिशा में कभी किसी को तृप्ति नहीं हुई, मैं शरीर नहीं आत्मा हूँ और वो आत्मा परमात्मा का अंश है, तब जाकर हम परमात्मा की प्राप्ति को लक्ष्य बनाएंगे, वरना तो हम पूरा प्रवचन सुन लेंगे और फिर वहीं पे पहुंच जाएंगे  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXHmcIWsyaI&t=746  Transcript 0:15 सबसे पहले 0:19 मैं शरीर नहीं आत्मा हूँ आत्मा की उपस्थित के करण 0:24 ये शरीर चेतन वत हो गया 0:28 आंख देखती है कान सुनते हैं नासिक सूंघती 0:32 है क्योंकि आत्मा शरीर में है 0:37 जिस दिन आत्मा निकली 0:40 शरीर पुन: मिट्टी हो गया राजा रंक फकीर सब 0:46 बराबर हो गए   0:50 यह शरीर जो है यह मिट्टी का बना हुआ है 0:56 मिट्टी से आहार बना अन्न तरकारी फल यह सब 1:03 मिट्टी से बने 1:04 उस तरकारी फल को हम लोग खाए 1:09 तो हमारा शरीर बना वह शरीर में रस पहले 1:14 बना रस से रक्त रक्त से मांस मांस से 1:18 मेदा – मेदे से हड्डी हड्डी से मज्जा 1:21 यह शरीर का निर्माण हुआ आहार से इसलिए संत 1:26  लोग कहते हैं तुम्हारा शरीर एक मिट्टी का 1:31 पात्र है 1:33 और जब आत्मा निकल जाएगी ये वापस मिट्टी 1:38 में मिल जाएगा   1:40 ये शरीर के तीन अंत हो सकते हैं या तो शरीर को जला दें जैसे हमारे हिंदू धर्म में जलाते हैं, आंख के सामने ही शरीर मिट्टी हो जाता है  1:57 कुछ लोग उसको जमीन में गाढ़ देते हैं 2:02 तो भले वह बोर्ड लगाएं ऊपर से “Here lies 2:06 John Smith” 2:08 अरे बोर्ड लगाने से क्या होगा वह मिट्टी के किटाणु उसे खा के मिट्टी  2:13 बना दिए,  कुछ लोग नदी में फेंक देते हैं, तो नदी के जीव जंतु खाकर पाखाना (potty) बना देते हैं 2:25 अत: शरीर का अंत मिट्टी ही होगा 2:28 आत्मा की उपस्थिती के करण ये शरीर चेतन वत 2:35 हो गया आंख देखती है कान सुनते हैं नासिक 2:39 सूंघती है क्योंकि आत्मा शरीर में है 2:44 जिस दिन आत्मा निकली 2:47 शरीर पुनः मिट्टी हो गया राजा रंक फकीर 2:52 सब बराबर हो गए इसलिए जब कोई मरता है तो 2:59 हिंदी में कहते हैं हम उसकी माटी पर गए थे  3:03 कहाँ है वो माटी, अजी साहब उसका शरीर ही माटी है  3:08 तो वह जो माटी का शरीर है उसको हम लोग 3:12 मैं मानते हैं    3:14 अब हम किसी से पूछें क्यों जी आपका परिचय 3:19 आप कौन हैं बताइए 3:22 वह व्यक्ति अपना नाम बताता है 3:25 सर जी मेरा नाम है गोविंद पटनायक 3:28 अरे पटनायक जी हम आपका नाम नहीं पूछे हम 3:32 आपसे पूछे आप कौन हैं यह नाम जो है गोविंद ये  3:37 तो आपके माता-पिता ने आपको दिया जब आप 3 3:41 साल के थे उससे पहले वह आपको क्या कहते थे 3:44 उससे पहले मुझे पप्पू कहते थे  3:47 तो आप जब पप्पू थे क्या आप अलग व्यक्ति थे ? 3:50 जब आप गोविंद पटनायक हो गए क्या आप बदल गए 3:54 नहीं मैं व्यक्ति तो वही हूं इसका मतलब 3:58 आप नाम नहीं हैं वरना तो नाम को बदलेंगे आप 4:03 भी बदल जाएंगे   4:05 आप बताइए आप कौन हैं 4:09 जी वो कलेक्ट्रेट में सीनियर क्लर्क हूँ  4:13 ये सीनियर क्लर्क आप जो बोल रहे हैं यह 4:17 आपकी पदवी है 4:20 आप पहले जूनियर क्लर्क थे उससे पहले आप 4:24 टेंपरेरी जॉइन किया थे तो उस समय भी आप वही 4:28 व्यक्ति थे 4:29 आपका पोस्ट अलग है आप अलग हैं अब आप बताइए आप कौन हैं, जी मैं Oodiya (from Orrissa) हूँ, देखिए ये तो आप शरीर के लिए बोल रहे हैं, तो पिछले जन्म में क्या थे जी मैं गुजराती था, उससे पहले बंगाली था, तो आपका शरीर बदलता रहता है आप कौन हैं ये बताइए, उसको हम भूल ही गए कि मैं आत्मा हूँ,   5:01 अगर मानते तो ये भी मानते   5:04 कि मैं परमात्मा का अंश हूँ और यह भी मानते 5:09 कि मेरे जीवन का लक्ष्य भगवान हैं 5:13 लेकिन हम तो अपने को मिट्टी का शरीर मान 5:17 लिए 5:18 और शरीर संसार का अंश है इसलिए हम संसार 5:23 को अपना लक्ष्य बना लिए और तीसरी  5:28 विपरीत बुद्धि की परिस्थिति 5:32 “दुख्खेशू”  5:33 संसार के जो विषय का सेवन 5:39 में हम सुख खोज रहे है और परिणाम में हमको 5:44 दुख मिल रहा है  5:46 लेकिन हम उसी को सुख मान के भागते चले जा 5:50 रहे हैं   5:52 भागते भागते किसी को सुख मिला क्या 5:57 अगर हम पूछे यहां पर एक 2000 लोग बैठे हैं 6:02 हम पूछे यहां पर कोई fact में, वास्तव में 6:07 सुखी हैं?

Law of Karma | Past Life | Destiny | Why Bad Things Happen To Good People | Part 5 by Swami Mukundanand

Law of Karma | Past Life | Destiny | Why Bad Things Happen To Good People | Part 5 by Swami Mukundanand

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGVI8Vir_l8 Full Text  1  Let's take a look at the other side of this proposition, Are we really good people ? If we were good, we would have been in the kingdom of God & we would have been God realized. The fact that we are in the material realm means that we are not so good as yet, I don't want to say bad, otherwise somebody will be hurt.  So you have to now change the statement, “why do good things happen to not-so-good people”. Isn't the answer obvious ? To make us truly good, in other words, the goal of human life is so that we should truly become godlike, truly become like God, become perfect as He is perfect  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGVI8Vir_l8&t=22  2  you have to have this understanding and while we are in the material realm there is the law of karma that is applicable. The law of karma states “कर्म प्रधान विश्व करी राखा, जो जस करहि सो तस फल चाखा”. The Bible says exactly the same thing, “As you sow, that shall you also reap”  but again why Kushner stumbled was that he's got one lifetime's perspective and in one lifetime then the law of karma becomes inexplicable “Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law and adviser, has criticized the idea that suffering is punishment for sin”. (BUT this is not the correct understanding spiritually)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGVI8Vir_l8&t=79  3  if a child is born blind and the child questions what did I do to be born blind ? What answer will you give to the poor blind child. If you say, it was the wish of God, then God is very unfair This person is born with 6x5 vision and I'm born blind and we as children are just beginning our existence, this is gross partiality on part of God. The only logical & sensible answer is that this is effect of the karmas carried forward from past lives  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGVI8Vir_l8&t=122  4  you see all the Karmas that we have done, not in one life but in endless past life times, God keeps an account. God alone can keep that account, in fact the Nyaya darshan gives it as proof of God, without Him, there can be no law of karma - it's the all-knowing who can keep such an amazing account, that is called the Sanchita (means “Accumulated”), Sanchita karma is the accumulated Karmas of our past lifetimes minus what we've already burned out.  So every time when God sends us into the world to continue our journey, He takes one portion from the Sanchit karmas and gives the soul this portion you have to bear in this lifetime, so the portion of the accumulated Sanchit karmas, which is tied to us in this lifetime, that becomes our Prarabdha.  Prarabdha is the destiny with which we are born, there is an element of destiny in everybody's life, nobody can deny it, you did not choose the place where you would be born, God chose it, you did not choose your intellect etc., God chose it and sent you down with it  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGVI8Vir_l8&t=173  5  though the destiny is pre-determined, at every moment we have a free will, with which we can make choices. Understand it this way, when you play cards, the hand that you're dealt with is pre-determined, you cannot say no, no, I don't want these cards, I want those cards, you have to play with these cards  but how you play is not pre-determined, a bad player can lose with a good hand while a good player can win with a bad hand, this allows for bridge tournaments to take place, otherwise it could well merely be a throw of dice, Similarly, we all have this free will and the Karma that we do with our free will is called Kriyamana karma, "quotes from scriptures". Your Prarabdha and Sanchita is fixed but Kriyamana is not fixed, so you can slowly slowly change the course of your life. If it is written in your destiny that you will get that one million dollar lottery, you will get it, that's destiny but further having won it, you could blow it up in a year's time or you could multiply it to 1 billion that would be your independent effort, stemming from your free will.  So we are under the bond of this karma and how can you get rid of this whole account of Sanchit Karma? Only then you could be liberated when all Sanchit karmas are burnt away  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGVI8Vir_l8&t=271  6  how do you burn away (your Sanchit karmas) something that is infinite in extent, it's very difficult to deplete (to reduce the amount of something so that there is not much left) it, because from infinity if you minus 100, you are still left with infinity  and if you minus a million, it is still infinity, you minus a trillion it is still infinity - how to exhaust our Sanchita Karma - who knows how much is there at the stockpile and alongside with that we are making more karmas, so on one side, we are doing minus but on the other side we are doing plus, will it (accumulation of our Sanchit karmas) ever get exhausted ?  Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad-Gita he explains, He says, look Arjun, there is both justice & injustice, Nyaya & Anyaya but you need the third thing and that is Kripa (grace) - if I bestow My grace, I will burn that whole pot of your Sanchit Karmas by My grace  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGVI8Vir_l8&t=402  7  even in this world, there is the rule of grace in law, you know, this is the law in India and I have checked up it's also the law in USA, if the Supreme Court declares the death verdict sentences to death by Hanging, the Supreme Court is the ultimate, now there is no other recourse (solution, way out)  but the law says that there is one chance that convict can still appeal to the President for mercy. If the President so chooses by mercy, he can forgive. But President also is not allowed to be whimsical, in that mercy, there is a law there if this, this, this condition is met then President can bestow mercy.  Similarly God says by the law of karma you will never get out of it, you will need My mercy or grace or Kripa but the grace of God is not a whimsical act, oh I like this guy's nose let me grace him, I don't like her eyes, forget it   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGVI8Vir_l8&t=484  8  God says, My mercy also has rules and the rule for bestowing mercy is that you need to fulfil My condition. What is the condition, you have to surrender to Me, so He concludes the Bhagavad-Gita by Gita Shloka 18.66 vide  https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/18/66/ that "Sarva-dharman parityajya mamekam sharanam vraja",  Arjun give up all varieties of religiosity and just surrender to the Lord, quotes from "Bhagwad Gita" I shall burn away all your past deeds and liberate you from Maya have no fear  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGVI8Vir_l8&t=574  9  so what we need to do is not to blame God & not to blame circumstances & not to find fault - why are bad things happening to me ? There is something different that we need to Do, every time we have to look inside and think how do I need to improve that will change everything.  You have to believe it, if you can understand it by your intellect, only then will you believe it and then your focus will be to improve yourself. As somebody said, when I was a teenager, I dreamt of changing the world but as I grew into my early 20s, I thought if I can change my country, it will be enough and  then after marriage I realized, if I can change my family, I will be a hero but in my old age, I think if I had tried to change myself that would have been the best. That change has to begin from within, so have faith in God and His world that good things are happening but first of all you need to change is your attitude  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGVI8Vir_l8&t=622  Transcript

0:22 let's take a look at the other side of this proposition good people are we 0:29 really good people if we were we would have been in the kingdom of God we would 0:37 have been God realized the fact that we are in the material realm means that we 0:46 are not so good as yet I don't want to say bad otherwise somebody will be hurt 0:53 so you have to now change the statement why do good things happen to not-so-good 1:01 people isn't the answer obvious to make us truly good in other words the goal of 1:09 it is so that we should truly become godlike truly become like God become 1:19 perfect as he is perfect you have to have this understanding and while we are 1:29 in the material realm there is the law of karma that is applicable the law of 1:36 karma states "karma pradhana vishwa kari rakha jo jas kari so tass phal chakha" 1:47 the Bible says exactly the same thing as you sow that shall you 1:54 also reap but again why Kushner stumbled was that he's got one lifetime's 2:02 perspective and in one lifetime then the law of karma becomes inexplicable if a 2:10 child is born blind and the child questions what did I do to be born blind 2:20 what answer will you give to the poor blind child if you say it was the wish 2:29 of God then God is very unfair this person is born with 6x5 vision and 2:36 I'm born blind and we are just beginning our existence this is gross partiality 2:43 the only logical sensible answer is that this is karmas carried forward from 2:53 past lives  you see all the Karmas that we have done not in one life in endless 3:03 past life times God keeps an account God alone can keep that account in fact then 3:15 the Nyaya darshan gives it as proof of God without him there can be no law of karma 3:21 it's the all-knowing you can keep such an amazing account that is called the 3:28 Sanchita, Sanchita karma is the accumulated Karmas of our past 3:35 lifetimes minus what we've already burned out so every 3:43 time when God sends us into the world to continue our journey he takes one 3:51 portion from the sanchita and gives it this portion you have to bear in this 3:59 lifetime so the portion of the accumulated which is tied to us in this 4:09 lifetime that becomes our prarabdha prarabdha is the destiny with which we are 4:18 born there is an element of destiny in everybody's life nobody can deny it you 4:25 did not choose the place where you would be born God chose it you did not choose 4:31 that intellect etc God chose it and sent you down with it  though the destiny is 4:39 determined at every moment we have a free will with which we can make choices 4:50 understand it that way when you play cards the hand that you're dealt with is 4:58 determined you cannot say no no I don't want these cards I want those cards you 5:02 have to play with these cards but how you play is not determined a bad player 5:11 can lose with a good hand a good player can win with a bad hand this allows for 5:19 bridge tournaments to take place otherwise it could be a throw of dice 5:26 similarly we all have this free will and the Karma that we do with our free will 5:33 is called Kriyamana karma, "quotes for scriptures" 5:42 your Prarabdha and Sanchita is fixed but 5:50 Kriyamana is not fixed so you can slowly slowly change the course of your life if 6:01 it is written in your destiny that you will get that one million dollar lottery 6:06 you will get it that's destiny but further having won it you could blow it 6:14 up in a year's time or you could multiply it to 1 billion that would be 6:21 your independent effort stemming from your free will so we are under the bond 6:32 of this karma and how do you get rid of this whole account only then you could 6:42 be liberated when it's all burnt away  how do you burn it away something that 6:51 is infinite in extent it's very difficult 6:56 to deplete it because from infinity if you minus 100 you are still left with 7:04 infinity and if you minus a million it is still infinity you minus a trillion it is 7:12 still infinity how to exhaust our sanchita Karma who knows how much is there 7:19 at the stockpile and alongside with that we are making more Karmas so in one 7:28 side we are doing minus on the other side we are doing plus will it ever get exhausted 7:35 Lord Krishna in the bhagavad-gita he explains he says look Arjun there is 7:45 justice there is injustice Nyaya Anyaya you need the third thing and 7:54 that is Kripa grace if I bestow my grace I will burn that whole pot of 8:04 your Karmas by My grace so that grace even in the world there is the rule of grace 8:15 in law you know this is the law in India and I have checked up it's also the law 8:21 in USA if the Supreme Court declares the death verdict sentences to death by 8:29 hanging the Supreme Court is the ultimate now there is no recourse but 8:36 the law says there is one chance that convict can still appeal to the 8:43 President for mercy. If the President so chooses by mercy he can forgive. 8:56 But President also is not allowed to be whimsical in that mercy there is a law there 9:02 if this, this, this condition is met then we shall 9:08 bestow mercy similarly God says by the law of karma you will never get out of 9:17 it you will need mercy or grace or Kripa 9:23 but the grace of God is not a whimsical act oh I like this guy's nose let me 9:30 grace him I don't like her eyes forget it  9:34 God says my mercy also has rules and the rule for bestowing mercy is you need to 9:44 fulfil my condition what is the condition you have to surrender to me so 9:52 he concludes the bhagavad-gita "Sarva-dharman parityajya mamekam 9:58 sharanam vraja" Arjun give up all varieties of religiosity and just 10:04 surrendered to the Lord, quotes from "Bhagwad Gita" I shall 10:12 burn away all your past deeds and liberate you from Maya have no fear  10:22 so what we need to do is not blame God not blame circumstances not find fault 10:33 why are bad things happening to me there is something different that we need to 10:41 do every time we have to look inside and think how do I need to improve that will 10:50 change everything you have to believe it if you can understand you will believe 10:59 it and then your focus will be to improve yourself as somebody said when I 11:09 was a teenager I dreamt of changing the world 11:15 but as I grew into my early 20s I thought if I can change my country it will be 11:22 enough and then after marriage I realized if I can change my family I 11:28 will be a hero but in my old age I think if I had tried to change myself that would 11:35 have been the best you know that change has to begin from within so have faith 11:43 in God and his world good things are happening first of all you need to change is your attitude

Their body is ethereal (extremely delicate and light, in a way that seems unreal; of heaven), it has got so much of aroma (fragrant smell) in it, if a Devta were to come here and we were to smell, we would get so much of bliss that we would faint unconscious - that is the Devta's body and our human form ?  A little temperature rises sweat, sweat sweat, a little decrease another problem, God has filled it so that you have to keep scratching yourself etc, every time it's hungry, thirsty and so on so forth, even our eyes they have to keep on blinking  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDTAg-r9gMc&t=1  2  A human has got the nine gates, animals after their death, even their hide (skin) is usable etc. but in the human form, nothing is usable, so why should the Devtas desire this kind of a human body - this was the curiosity in Garud's mind - so what is special about the human body  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDTAg-r9gMc&t=53  3  Look at one speciality, “verse”, see eating, sleeping, mating & defending, even animals can do as we discussed in this human form.But knowledge is very special, we have been blessed with this faculty nowadays that scientists have realized that the plants don't have a brain but they can still feel emotions, so when the gardener comes there's some positive electric reaction going through the plant  but when the hunter comes again some negative electric reaction. So the plants also have emotions, that even without brain they also take care of themselves but in the human form you can sit and ponder, what is Swami ji trying to explain to me ?  I say Swami wants jeev kalyan, welfare of the souls, there is a cow shed there, why don't you go and lecture the cows also ? it will be of no use as cows don't have the ability that you and I have so gyan is very special for humans  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDTAg-r9gMc&t=79  4  But this answer is insufficient because when it comes to gyan, we are more knowledgeable than the the creatures, no doubt, but not more knowledgeable than the Devatas - these Devatas, they have got far superior drone Technology - your drone technology on this planet is limited while Devtas have got Agni Ban, Vayu Ban, those Agni Ban and Vayu Ban will go through a million people without touching anyone,  directly attack the target and come and fall back into the quiver (where the arrows for the bow are kept), so who can compare with Saraswati and with Brahaspati, there's no question of it. Why then do the devatas seek the human form, what do we have that Devtas don't have  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDTAg-r9gMc&t=169  5 so the answer was also given by Kag Bushundi when he said “verse”, the next chaupahi he explained, “verse”, he says Garud ji from the human form you will get “narak” (hell), nether (lower) regions, but arey you just praised the human form and now you say you'll get the nether region (hell), what kind of logic is this ?  The logic is that the Gyan shakti is there in the human form, we have the faculty of the intellect, so we can do a lot of good but we can also do a lot of bad  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDTAg-r9gMc&t=238  6  if a dog chooses to steal, what will it do maximum, it will pick a roti and run away but if a human being chooses to steal, then there'll be a crowdstrike (cyberattacks by computer software hacking), so many kinds of scams and this and that, so we do have the intellect but what use are we putting it to ? so the more the ability the more is the scope for misutilization  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDTAg-r9gMc&t=301  7  if while walking you have an accident, there will be a little wound, just rub it and gone ; if while cycling you have an accident, then fracture is also possible and with a motorcycle you have an accident then death is possible and from airplane death is almost certain  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDTAg-r9gMc&t=340  8  what he says is that after getting the human form, so many will go to hell, because they don't even know what is the purpose of life, and some will say no, no, I will do the punya, I will do the karm kand of the vedas and I'll go to Swarg, celestial abodes, BUT the scriptures say those who wish to go to swarg are also not Intelligent. Why ?  Because the Devtas (already in Swarg, heaven) want to become human beings - now we people say we wish to go to Swarg and the Devtas say, O my God, they have got the human form, hey Bhagwan, make me a human being - so that is why our scriptures say that it is foolish to seek Swarg, “verse”, only the grossly foolish seek to go to Swarg after getting the human form  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDTAg-r9gMc&t=360  9  now we people what do we do, if somebody's father passes away, they release a newspaper ad. “my respected father attained his celestial abode (Swarg-vasi), so you are declaring in the newspaper that my dear father was such a fool, he had to go to Swarg,  Swami ji we were releasing it because we thought that it is a nice thing to go to Swarg (heaven), but that is due to our unawareness of the scriptural principles, “verse”, Shri Krishna says that those who want to go to Swarg are not grossly foolish but not intelligent while those who go for Narak (hell) of course they are grossly foolish & are rejected from Swarg  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDTAg-r9gMc&t=454  10  some people say I don't want Swarg, because I've already been there so many times, all of us have been there in Swarg in our past lives, this is not our first life that we have been rotating in birth death disease & old age cycle of maya, “verse” so numerous times we have gone to Swarg as well.  And in Swarg, it's possible we ourselves became the Devraj Indra which now we have forgotten. We see, if I get one more million, my problems will be solved and that time in Swarg as Devraj Indra, Kuber was our servant, so some people said I don't want Swarg, I kick it out, I want अपवर्ग or Moksh (Liberation)  and some very select few people come who say, I'll kick Liberation also and they got the higher thing, i.e., Nishkam Prem, so all these fruits we get after attaining the human form, “verse”, whatever you do, we get the corresponding results  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDTAg-r9gMc&t=523  11  Our options are:  1 .Do paap (sins) go to the nether regions (hell) or  2 .do punyas (pious deeds) go to Swarg  3. do mixture of both sins & pious deeds, come here (to this material world, rotating in birth death disease & old age cycle of maya in any of 84 lakh yonis) or  4. reject / transcend all three & get liberated or  5. reject / transcend liberation as well, get Bhakti, so all this is available only to human beings but not to the devatas, why not ?  Does anybody know why can't the devatas get all of these 5 options ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDTAg-r9gMc&t=608 

Transcript 0:01 so garud was 0:03 astonished why should the devatas desire 0:07 this nasty 0:09 body their body is 0:14 ethereal it has got so much of Aroma in 0:18 it if a devta were to come 0:22 here and we were to 0:24 smell we get so much of bliss we would 0:27 faint unconscious 0:30 that is the Devta's body and our human form 0:34 A little temperature rises sweat sweat 0:38 sweat a little decrease another 0:42 problem God has filled it so that you 0:44 have to keep scratching yourself etc etc 0:47 every time it's hungry thirsty and so on 0:50 so forth even our eyes they have to keep 0:52 on 0:53 blinking Devtahe’s got the nine 0:55 Gates the human 0:58 form animals you know after their death 1:01 their hide is usable Etc the human form 1:04 nothing is 1:05 usable why should the devtas desire this 1:08 kind of a 1:10 body this was the Curiosity in 1:15 Garud's mind. so what is special about the human 1:19 Body Devta look at one speciality “verse”  1:35 see eating sleeping mating defending 1:37 even animals can do we 1:40 discussed in this human form knowledge 1:44 is very 1:45 special we have been blessed with this 1:50 faculty nowadays scientists have 1:53 realized that the plants don't have a 1:56 brain no brain but they can still  2:00 feel emotions so when the gardener comes 2:03 there's some electric reaction going 2:05 through the plant when the hunter comes 2:08 again some electric reaction negative 2:10 One going so the plants also have emotions 2:13 even without brain they also take care 2:17 of themselves but in the human form you 2:21 can sit and Ponder what is Swami ji trying 2:25 to explain to 2:27 me I say Swami you want jeev 2:30 Kalyan welfare of the 2:33 souls there is a Cow Shed there why 2:36 don't you go and lecture the cows 2:38 also it will be no use they don't have 2:42 the ability that you and I 2:46 have so Gyan is very 2:49 specialDevta but this answer is 2:54 insufficient because when it comes to 2:57 Gyan we are more knowledgeable than the 2:59 the creatures no doubt but not more 3:02 knowledgeable than the 3:06 devatas these 3:09 devatas they have got far superior drone 3:14 technology your drone technology on this 3:17 planet is limited they have got Agni 3:21 Ban 3:23 Vayu Ban those Agni ban and Vayu Ban will go 3:28 through a million people without 3:30 touching anyone straight attack the 3:33 Target and come and fall back into the 3:37 quiver so who can compare with saraswati 3:42 and with 3:45 brahaspati there's no question of 3:48 it why then do the devatas seek the human 3:53 form what do we have that they don't 3:58 HaveDevta so the answer was also given by 4:03 Kag Bushundi when he 4:12 said “verse”, the next chaupahi he 4:25 explained he “verse”, he says Garud ji from the human 4:29 form you will get 4:31 narak nether 4:34 regions arey you just praised the human form and 4:38 now you say you'll get the nether 4:41 region what kind of logic is 4:44 this the logic is that the Gyan shakti is 4:49 there in the human form we have the 4:52 faculty of the intellect so we can do a 4:55 lot of good but we can also do a lot of 4:59 Bad Devta 5:01 if 5:03 a dog chooses to 5:06 steal what will it do maximum it will pick a 5:10 roti and run 5:12 away if a human being chooses to 5:15 steal then there'll be a crowd strike 5:19 you know so 5:23 many kinds of scams and this and that so 5:28 we do have the intellect but what use are we 5:31 putting it 5:33 to so the more the ability the more 5:37 scope for misutilization Devta 5:40 if while walking you have an accident 5:43 there will be a little wound just rub it 5:45 and gone if while cycling you have an 5:48 accident then fracture is also 5:51 possible and with a motorcycle you have 5:53 an accident then death is possible and 5:56 from airplane death is almost certain Devta 6:00 what he says is after the human form so 6:04 many will go to hell because they don't 6:08 even know what is the purpose of life, so he says 6:11 narak and some will say no no no no I 6:15 will do the punya I will do the karm kand of 6:20 the vedas and Swarg I'll go to 6:24 Swarg Celestial 6:26 abodes so the scriptures say those who 6:30 wish to go to 6:31 Swarg are also not 6:36 intelligent why because the devatas want 6:39 to become human 6:42 beings now we people say we wish to go 6:46 to Swarg and the devatas say O my God they have got 6:50 the human form hey bhagwan make me a 6:52 human 6:54 being so that is why our scriptures say 6:58 that it is foolish to seek 7:15 Swarg “verse”  7:31 only the grossly foolish seek to go to 7:34 Swarg after getting the human form Devtanow we 7:37 people what do we do if somebody's 7:40 father passes away they release a 7:43 newspaper 7:49 ad my respected father attained his 7:53 Celestial Abode 7:54 so you are declaring in the newspaper 7:57 that my dear father was such a fool, he had 7:59 to go 8:02 to Swarg , swami ji we were releasing it because we 8:05 thought is a nice 8:07 thing that is our unawareness of the 8:11 scriptural 8:18 principles “verse” Shri Krishna 8:25 says so those 8:29 who want to go to Swarg 8:32 are not grossly foolish but not 8:36 intelligent those who go for of course 8:39 they are 8:43 Rejected, some people say I don't 8:48 want Swarg because I've already been there so 8:51 many 8:53 times all of us have been 8:56 there in our past lives 8:59 this is not our first life we have been 9:07 rotating “verse” so numerous times we have gone 9:10 to Swarg as 9:12 well out there it's possible we became 9:15 the 9:17 Devraj Indra now we forgotten we see if I get 9:20 one more million my problems will be 9:22 solved and that time Kuber was our 9:25 servant so some people said I don't want 9:28 Swarg I kick it out I want 9:31 अपवर्ग or Moksh 9:35 Liberation and some very select few 9:38 people came who said I'll kick 9:42 Liberation also and they got the higher 9:44 thing 9:46 Nishkam prem,  so all these fruits after the human 9:50 Form “verse”  9:57  whatever you do 10:00 get the 10:08 Results,! do paap (sins) go to the nether regions (hell),  do punyas (pious deeds) go to 10:14 Swarg, do mixture of both sins & pious deeds, come 10:17 here (to this material world), reject all three get liberated, reject 10:21 liberation as well 10:23 get Bhakti so all this is available only  10:29 to human beings not to the 10:35 devatas why not does anybody know why 10:40 can't the devatas get all of these options ?
