Thought for the day Truth is God.
We can attain God by speaking the Truth
The roots of the tree are under the earth.
However the fruit is seen outside as the tree. It expands, becomes dense and
gives shade to others. Sathyam is the root of the tree. Dynamic conciousness
is prema. Sathyam is unshakable. Prema is moving so it spreads more and more.
Prema becomes as a tree, flower, fruit and it gives itself for the benefit of
the world. Prema gives itself and so it is expanding.
The root is the indweller in the body. The
body is the tree. The indweller is blue and the size of a paddy tail. We must perform
sadhana and make him bigger. When we do sadhana the light grows more and more.
Then God himself functions within our body. The nutrients in the root enter the
tree and circulate throughout the branches, flowers, fruits, leaves. In the
same way, our indweller, God’s light, spread throughout our body. That time
whatever he receives as the fruit, he uses for the welfare of mankind. He uses
His whole life for the world and then merges with God. The root is not seen
outside. If it is seen outside then the tree falls down. Likewise through sadhana
if we bring the indweller out, then the jeeva will merge with God and the body would
fall down. The one who does severe sadhana attains God and leaves their body.
Sathyam is the root, Prema is the tree, branches, fruit and all. The root of Sathyam
cannot be seen by others. Through ordinary devotion and prema, one can attain
God. My prema on God cannot be contained within this body. I want to experience
God through the entire creation by it becoming my body. I want every jeeva to
become like me and only live for God. My prema will enter everyone. I shake Sathya,
pull the fruit from Him and give to the world. This avatar is fully functioning.
So through my prema I acquired more benefit for the world. This prema is giving
itself to others. The prema is acquiring benefit from the unseen Sathyam and is
visibly showing it to the world. Kali
yuga changing into Sathya Yuga. This is prema’s visible power. Yesterday, in
the newspaper we saw a picture of Swami on the golden chariot. We also read the
matter. When Swami came in the golden chariot many people phoned to me. They
said, “The sun was beaming. The golden chariot was shining. When Swami came it
was a wonderful scene.” Eddy also phoned, saying that, “Swami came in golden chariot
on the ladies side and the gents saw him from a distance. Swami looked very
small.” Everyone derived bliss when Swami came in golden chariot. I thought is
the golden chariot efflugent because of Swami or is Swami efflugent because of
the golden chariot? If the billion sun Madhava comes in a procession in a golden
chariot. His effulgence gives bliss to all. Without Swami, what is the use of a
golden chariot? Now let us see about this. God is in the
santum santorium in a temple. During important functions at temples, they bring
the deity out in a chariot as a procession. This is called Radho Utsavam. All
who see this become purified. In Tamil nadu there is big chariot in Thiruvaru.
That is the biggest. Next biggest is in Andal’s temple. Every year there is a
chariot procession. The chariot is very big and goes around four streets. On
two sides of the chariot they tie big ropes. Then on two sides of the road
thousands of people stand and pull the chariot. There is proverb, “All have
come together and are pulling the chariot.”.When the procession comes to the
four streets, lakhs of people see and benefit. On the chariot the priest
sprinkles holy water on everyone. Now they put batteries and motors. The
chariot procession take place in this way. Without man’s effort all is
happening mechanically. What a pity. Man’s
effort is very important to receive God’s grace. This is showing this.
Now let us see how the golden chariot takes
form. The people make every part of the chariot. They polish the gold. Then
they assemble every part. Step by step the chariot takes form. All the parts
are fixed and the chariot is ready. Then Swami sits on the chariot and He comes
in procession. This is the effort of unity. All the parts unite and then it becomes
chariot. Likewise our human body is like a golden chariot. God is a blue light
the size of a paddy tail in our heart. He is the indweller. In the Gita, Krishna says, Mamam vasisho, jeevloka….the blue light
that is within everyone is His amsa. That is the atma. That is Antaryami. When
we perform sadhana the blue light becomes big. How we do sadhana? We purify
every part of our body. How to purify every part of the golden chariot body? By
controlling the 5 senses. Go beyond the three gunas, separate the 5 kosha’s.
When we do all these things the body will be purified. Now the indweller who
resides inside becomes big and spreads throughout the body. Then His light
spreads throughout the body and He becomes a golden chariot. It is shining
through the gold of God’s efflugence.
This is ojus, tejas. The body of the saints and sages shine within. This
is tegas. Now God comes as procession in the golden chariot of his body. Now
this jyothi must spread outside everywhere. This jyothi’s name is prema. This
prema slowly slowy spreads outside. The prema light spread everywhere and sees
the sathya light. One who purifies their
body into a golden chariot merges with God. When
we purify every part of the body. Then every part pulls God outside. This is
equal of everyone pulling the chariot together. Some do jyothi meditation like
this. They imagine the blue light God in their forehead as a jyothi and then
they meditate. They imagine the jyothi going to every part of the body. After
it spread in every part they imagine the light spreading outside. Through this
bhava the whole body is filled with light. This is the inner meaning of golden
chariot.
