The God and the Truth are not on the same level.
Truth means by words but god is expositor, empowered , absolute
truth, eventually Ultimate Teacher and source of all energies. Sri
Bhagavata puranam begins with“Satyam Param Demahi”and ends as the
same. Sri Mahabharatam reveled Vishnu Sahasranamam,Siva Sahasranamam
and Sri Bhagavat Gita.. The Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and also revealed “
Hamsa gita “
What is “Hamsa Gita”? It is Same like Bhagavat
Gita the mediator is different named Uddhava. Uddhava also Sri
Krishna's close friend like Arjuna” The Bhagavat Gita upadesam was
in the war field, but this Uddhava Gita is the great Lord's farewell
message to the world. The teacher is the same but teaching is varied.
This Uddhava Gita contained the 11th
and 12th skanthams in the Bhagavata Puranam. This Gita is
18,000 stanzas.
There are several independent scriptural texts by
the name Gita, though this is a great to be similar with the Bhagavad
Gita because taught directly by Lord Krishna,. Uddhava Gita known
after the Lord's dear friend Uddhava when he was in consolable at the
very thought of separation from him before he depart from the world.
composed by Vyasa to highlight the glory of the Lord's lineage in the
world, especially Sri Krishna incarnation.
Uddhava approached Sri Krishna and implored him to
take him also. In reply Sri Krishna commons his teaching.
Lord Krishna advised him that “Uddhava you are
so desirous of attainment to reach Vaikundam but you have to fulfil
some of rituals. The first step take up sannyāsa by fixing your mind
in me and establish yourself in theoretically and realized
transcendental knowledge, and give up material things in a spirit of
detachment is the source of the highest auspiciousness, but such
renunciation is certainly very difficult to accomplish for living
entities other than the devotees,because people are very attached to
sense of gratification.”
Uddhava told that he himself had taken shelter of
the only true instructor of the Absolute Truth Lord Nārāyana, the
all-perfect, wast -knowing master of Vaikuṇṭham and the only real
friend of all living entities.Hearing this, the Supreme Lord replied
that actually the ( jīva ) soul is ones own guru. Within this human
body, the living beings can search out the Supreme Lord through the
constant meditation, pooja, sangeerthanam etc. For this reason the
human form of life is most beloved to Almighty of God.. In this
regard, Lord began to taught many Upadesams then he told an
ancient conversation between a brāhmaṇa avadhūtar and the great
king Yadu.(Sri Krishna's great grand father because of Yadu that clan
is called Yadu Vamsam orYadhava kulam.)
The son of Yayāti, Mahārāja Yadu, once he was
unhappily walking in his Ubbarikai (balcony) unexpectedly he happened
to see an avadoothar happily walking on the street, the king
surprisingly thought himself that “I am a king and having so much
of wealth but I am not being happy in my life but this man he has
nothing and even has had no nice cloths how he can be so happy”
thinking in his mind he ordered his men to invite that avadoothar to
his palace, so accordingly be brought him to his palace and the king
enquired the avadoothar how he is so happy?
The Avadoothar said: O Maharaja, with my
intelligence I have taken shelter of many spiritual masters. Having
gained transcendental understanding from them,
I am now wander about the earth in a liberated
condition. Please listen as I describe them to you.
He continued “O King, I have taken shelter of
twenty-four gurus, who are the following: the earth, air, sky, water,
fire, moon, sun,pigeon , python, the sea, moth, honeybee, elephant,
deer, fish, prostitute Piṅgalā, the kurara birds the young girl,
arrow maker, serpent, spider and wasp. My dear King, by studying
their activities I have learned the science of the self. And as I
explain to you what I have learned from each of these gurus. Further
he continued:
(1) A good and self-controls,showing mental and
emotional balanced a pious man any others trouble and awkward
speeches or hurting words he would not feel any pain in his mind and
nothing will stop his progressive life, alike even people doing often
devastatingly or explosively powerful force or energy, as of a
hurricane or whatever happens the earth is so patiently showing its
serenity. so this rule I learnt from the earth.
(2) A man feels a nice aroma smell from a flower
garden even that some miles away, he be happy inhis mind, and also to
live a man needs (pranavayu,) oxidation otherwise he will die, one
can not live without air it is so important to a man to keep alive
and happy. The air is a must, equally a person should be very helpful
to the world . This lesson I learnt from the Air
(3)People considers a things within the physical
world to be most beloved to a man of attachment to such things one
eventually becomes miserable. Otherwise if one who understands this
gives up physical possessiveness and attachment he achieves unlimited
happiness. because he is free to spread his mind as wide as the sky
which covers the entire galaxy where as attached man is restricted to
the materialistic bondage. I learnt this truth from the Sky.
(4) Water flow in the river the act or manner of
flowing to reach its destination towardsthe sea, alike saintly
persons knowledge and his penance will notstop even of any
circumstances his aim will be to reach his destination to almighty of
god. I have learned this lesson from Water.
(5) Fire is into the firewood yet is different
from firewood, fire Which is to be burned to give supplying of light,
similarly the sage within the body the self enlightened soul is
different from physical body. This lesson I learnt from Fire
(6) How the various phases the physical body
undergoes birth, growth,decreasing and death do not affect the
embodied soul. Similarly the moon also has the same cycle like
growing waning and invisible;but moon is firm and steady,, we
just can't see it. And than after new moon, the moon is reborn just
like us. So death is not the end, it is the beginning of something
new. This I learned from the Moon
(7) Avoiding entanglement even while coming into
contact with sense objects and the different modes of perfection
based on seeing the real form of the soul and seeing false
designation coverings. this lesson I learned from SUN
(8) A pigeon family was living on a tree I was
sitting opposite side of the tree and watching them, the parents of
pigeon went to pray some food for their children, at that time the
children of pigeon by mistakenly fall down, unfortunately there were
a hunter spread his net under the tree and they caught , in a few
minutes mother came the children fall down into the net so the mother
did not want to live without the children so it fall on the net soon
the father came it saw his wife and children fall on the net so he
did not wish to live with out wife and children he also fall on the
net, after for sometime the hunter came and folded the net took them
off. so this avadoodar thought the hunter is Kalan if he spread his
net no one can escape. so the pigeon is a Guru.
(9) I walked further then happened to see a python
was lying down with open its mouth so I went to close to it and asked
him “ O fool and lazy if you laid down with open your mouth food
will not come to your mouth“ but it did not say any thing with in a
few minutes a rabbit came on its way and he fallen into his mouth he
got his food then I learned that, a Sanyasi should not go to beg for
food. I learnt this lesson from Python
(10)Further I was going some where then I
saw a sea continuously waves touching the coast of the sea with
noise. Then I saw whatever we throw in the sea it will not take it
and bring back to the land so “I asked it these much of wide see if
a small piece of wood fall on you, what will happen and why you are
so selfishly neglecting it”? The sea replayed,” if allow this
small piece of wood in feature it will spread with leaves and cover
the entire water. People will struggle to identify the water. It will
cause a big burden, so unnecessary burdens should not accept. this
lesson I have learned from the SEA
(11) Once I was sitting under the tree, a
wasp forced a weaker insect to enter his hive and kept him trapped
there. In great devotion on his mother captor the weak insect without
giving up his body, he gradually achieved the same state of being as
the wasp. Thus one achieves continuance meditation on god he will
have Bhagavat nature then Bhagavan and Bhaktha are one. I learnt this
from Wasp
(12) Elephant is
very sensitive if one touch him he will enjoy, so it is addict
for“sparisam” . Deer is addict for sound. Moth is for vision if
it happens to see a candle light certainly flown on light and fall in
the flame and it will die.Fish for taste. Betel for smell. Honeybee
it will travel flower to flower and collect Pollen
(Maharantham produced by flowers) that save for honey once it implies
readiness to be harvest, one day some hunter will come and light
fire, that attitude became the reason to its death A Sanyasi
religious orderly living in a monastery should not have those kind of
addiction nature so I learnt a lesson from those creatures.
(13) Then I walk further some distance I
happened to see an Eagle was flying, and a huge group of rooks
were chasing it, I thought why these rooks are chasing it and what
kind of the mutual hostility? but the Eagle was very tired it could
not fly further. Because the Eagle was holding a piece of meat, for
that meat the group of rooks army chased..once the Eagle
realized its danger moment so it dropped the meat from its beak all
the rooks stayed back but the Eagle flown for from the rooks.
Similarly a person if he hold attachment on his body many kind of
dangers will follow him once he realized the ultimate eternal truth
he is free from danger this lesson I learnt from Eagle
(14) Further I moved to Janakapuri and I was lying
down under a banian tree there was a bungalow type of house I saw
there is a prostitute named Pingala was living, she was expecting
some one, she use to wait for some time near the door step and go in,
every time when she comes out use to changing her dress but all of
sudden she saw a saint and on his sight she realized the truth, she
begin to be sad and said “all these days I did not realize the
reality of the truth, and I was leading a mistakable stupid life. I
am a foolish woman... All these days I sold my body and live, but
today I sold my self and bought “atma” (Narayana) and going to
keep him in my heart and sleep”.. she left all her desires.
Why this prostitute story in Bhagavata puranam
means the prostitute meant as a “Jevan” according to its previous
Karma it is taking birth by birth as interchanging the dress, once it
had satguru Dharsanam It got knowledge on almighty of god .
Sleeping means expelling of her ignorance.
The mind can be controlled when it is steadily
fixed on the almighty of god. A person when his/her mind becomes free
from impure desires and ignorance, he/she starts to execute spiritual
activities, hence he attains a stable situation then he/she feels
his/her mind is free, and the past existing style of nature is
destroyed. then step-by-step learn the physical way of goodness. So
one can achieve the destination via meditation,on the Supreme Lord. A
jevan should work constantly to get atma sakshatkaram .
I leant this lesson and did pranams to Pingala so
she is also a guru.
(15) Then I saw a child with out dress he was
playing in front of his house, he did not feel ashamed, but every one
were very affectionate and loved him. I thought if ones mind like a
child there will be no complication in ones life.
One who has exceed physical good and evil
automatically it will act according to the religious fastenings and
avoids forbidden activities. The self-realized person does this like
an innocent child, The child is a guru..
(16) I moved further I saw a serpent was
crawling,I followed it at last it went in to an ants hill. I thought
a Sanyasi should not have any thing by his own. I learnt this from a
serpent so it is a guru...
(17) I moved further and I reached a village so I
felt very thirsty I went a house asked some water to drink, a Young
girl gave some water, when I was drinking there was a bullock
cart came I moved to give a way the people to go inside and I could
see the front and back side of the house. The girl one gave a glass
of water she was pounding some thing so her bangles giving “kling
kling”noise so she took of some leaving two even though gave
noise so she removed one more leaving only one so there was no noise
from this incident I learnt a lesson that when you go to do prayer
should not be crowded should have privacy and colm place
I learnt this from that Young Girls action...
(18) I walked further and reached a road side
village there was a procession was going on, I was thinking which
country king is going thoughtfully I went to a shop and there was a
blacksmith making an arrow, just I touched and call him but he did
not notice that I called after finished his work he saw me and asked
me respect fully “Prnam sir, You need any help from me and what can
I do for you?I asked him “ I called and touched, you were very busy
with your work” the blacksmith answered “ sorry sir I did not
notice “ I asked him that “ just a few minute ago there was a
procession went just I asked you in which country king?”“ O sad I
was very busy with my work because I have to submit this work before
the evening so sorry I am not able to help you”
When one’s consciousness is completely fixed on
the Absolute Truth,(Supreme Lord )then no longer sees duality, or
internal and external reality. The example is the arrow maker who
took the entire attention on his work that he did not even notice the
kings procession, which was passing close to him. I did pranams to
him because this Blacksmith is also a guru.
(19)I was sitting in front of the blacksmith's
shop and I unexpectedly happened to see a Spider in his shop. It was
spreading thread through his mouth and knitted a beautiful net and
stuck an insect,it has swollen it and once it finished then it pulled
it in,similarly the Almighty of God too like spider , he also
knitting cosmic world like the net through his grace , and all his
devotees swollen by him through his bestowed wisdom, at the end
eventually he withdraws completely with in himself. so I learnt the
Eswara Thatwam from this Spider it is a guru.
(20) O your Majesty I was sitting under a tree.
That tree full of fruits and there were two Kurara birds sitting on
the tree branch. One was eating the fruit but other one did not eat
and just it was seeing the other one The two birds are friends and
are of a same nature. The bird who does not eat the fruits is the
Almighty of God, (Atma) who by his basic nature and its wide
knowledge perfectly understands his own position. The eating bird
does not understand himself or the Lord. He is covered by ignorance
and unaware of eternally condition, whereas the Almighty of God,
being full of perfect knowledge, is eternally liberated. I learnt
this from Kurara birds
This Avadoothar told more to the king that One
should learn basic knowledge from jgyana Guru rest of the things we
have to learn from our own experience, not only that one has to see
the parabrahmam as one, and his luminous light should be bright in
his own heart not only with in him he has to see all and every
creatures the same .Said this to king and he took leave from Yadu
Maharaja.
