KAHEN TEOON TUM CHET LE AYU ESE JAAT Arjuna asks... O God, please explain to me what is Brahman? What is self? What are fruitive activities? What is the material manifestation? What are the demigods? Who is Lord of sacrifice? And how is he situated in the body? And how can those who engaged in faithful service to you know you at the time of death? Lord Krishna says...
“Brahman is the supreme indestructible living entity; the material nature of which is called ‘Self’, ‘adhyatma’. That action which brings about birth and development of material bodies is called ‘karma’ or ‘fruitive activities’. The ‘adhibhuta’ is the physical nature, which is constantly changing. The universal form of the Lord, which includes the demigods, sun and moon is called ‘adhidaiva’. And I, the Supersoul situated in all living entities, I am the ‘adhi-yajna’, the ‘Lord of sacrifice’. At the time of death, whoever relinquishes his body remembering me alone, without doubt attains me. Whatever state of being one remembers at the time of death, he will attain that state, being absorbed in its thought. Therefore, remember me at all times and do your duty. With your mind and intellect fixed on me, you shall come to me without doubt. Person who is engaged in devotion to me and whose thoughts are constantly fixed on me attains me. One should understand the Supersoul as the knower of everything, the oldest, as the ruler who is smallest, the sustainer of everything, the inconceivable form and effulgent like the sun, who is beyond material nature. One who, at the time of death, through the power of yoga fixes his life air between the eyebrows and with an undeviating mind remembers the Supreme Lord will certainly attain Him. I shall speak briefly to you of that infallible goal, which persons learned in the Vedas describe; into which, ascetics free from attachment enter and desiring which they practice celibacy. A person situated in yogic situation is free from all sensual attachments and fixes his mind on the heart and life air at the top of his head, thus establishing himself in yoga. Situated in this and chanting the sacred syllable OM, if one thinks of Supreme Lord and quits his body, he will reach the spiritual planets. I am easily won by one who remembers me constantly with undivided attention, for he is a yogi who is ever united with me. Reaching me, these great souls are released from the cycle of birth and death, for they have attained the ultimate perfection. From the highest planet to the lowest, all include repeated births and deaths, but those who reach me are never reborn By human calculation, the day of Brahma lasts for a thousand yugas and his night lasts for a thousand yugas. With the arrival of the day of Brahma all living entities become manifest from the unmanifest state and with the coming of the night, become unmanifest once again. Again and again, all living creatures are helplessly destroyed with the arrival of Brahma’s night and they again come into being with the arrival of his day. However, there is another unmanifest energy that is eternal and higher than this, which does not die when all other creation perishes. That other unmanifest realm said to be infallible, considered the supreme destination, that place, which having reached one doesn’t return, is my supreme abode. The Supreme Lord, who is all pervading and in whom all things reside, is attainable by unalloyed devotion. I shall now explain to you the different times when yogis departing at death either return or do not return. Those who know Brahman and pass away during fire, light, an auspicious time of the day, the bright lunar fortnight and the six months of the sun’s northern solstice go to Brahman. The mystic who passes away during smoke, night and the dark lunar fortnight and the sun’s six-month southern solstice attains lunar light and returns. According to the Vedas, there are two ways of leaving this world, one in light and one in darkness. When one passes away during light one does not return, during darkness one returns. Aware of these two paths, the devotee is never confused. Therefore at all times be steadfast in yoga. Knowing all this, the mystic transcends the results attained by study of the Vedas, sacrifice, austerity, charity, as well as the fruit of piety. By performing devotional service he attains the supreme primal abode.” O Satguru Swami Teoonram, you are our Lord Krishna!!! We pray to you Sai that we become a disciple like Arjuna so that we comprehend and imbibe the treasure of knowledge in our lives that you have bestowed on us. Reverence in your Holy feet!
