Passage 7

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Jñāna cannot be split into differences or into parts. This divine Jñāna is nothing but ourselves. We must not think that it is something in us, or something we earn. We ourselves are Jñāna. We ourselves are the infinite; we ourselves are Satya. We ourselves are Brahman. With this in view they said, "Satyaṃ jñānam anantaṃ brahma." Taking as our basis the costume we have put on for this drama of the world, we act out a story to suit that costume. But though this action and these dialogues may suit this play, they are in no way in keeping with the life that is eternal and true. You saw it this morning. In the middle there is a circle called conscious. Below there is a circle called subconscious. Above there is super conscious. And in every man this whole world, imagined from what is seen, is within them in the form of the subconscious. From here it sets out into consciousness. Here is a small example of this. At some time or other you may have gone and seen Badrinath, Amarnath, Kedarnath, Delhi, Bombay. But where is all this scene? If once you went to Delhi, went to Agra and saw the Taj Mahal, it has stayed fixed in your subconscious. Whenever you think of it, then it appears before you. If it is to come into this conscious now, in the present time, it must come from the subconscious. To know the …, you must think of the present; to know the present, we must think of the past. So what I mean is, the future and the past are in the present itself. But we think that this is the Present; that itself is the great mistake. This is not Present This is omnipresent. The past and the future, both of them, are in our present itself. So they called God ever Omni Present.

God is truly the divine power that is present at all times and in all ages. To understand such a divine feeling, we must keep our senses, Manas and Buddhi in the right state. Today the way of science is growing fast and wide. For whose sake have all these grown? This electricity has come. And the fans have come. And the machines have come. TVs have come; radios, radios have come.
