The supreme being
In all types of living things
In the heart of
O! Arjuna
Remains
Rotating
All the living things
Like placed on a machine
Is the maaya of physical energy
|
Eeswarah:
sarvabhutaanam that means god is prevalent everywhere.
Just like
in our body, life is prevalent and pervading through the entire body.
If it does
not present in any part, that means that is the death of that part.
Everything
living thing has life.
When
Prahlada was challenged by his father Hiranya Kassyapa
if god is everywhere then could he show Him in
the pillor, Prahlada said affirmative.
“indu galadu andu ledanu sandeham valadu
Tandri, chakri sarvopagatundu
Endendu vediki chucinaa andande kaladu
Dana vagrani vinte”
[Telugu]
When the
king broke the pillor, god appeared to him and killed him.
Jagadish Chandra Bose
emphasized that even plants too have life.
He
proved it later on.
A
seed getting sprouted, becoming a plant, a tree, giving fruits, and finally it dies.
It
is a staunch evidence that it has life.
God is life and life is god.
Advaita philosophy is based on
this.
It was proposed by Adi Shankara.
A + dvaitam = which has no second.
So it says that we need not search for god
here and there.
From microscopic to macroscopic world he is
present.
It is our foolishness to search for god
keeping always with us.
Different
people give different explanations and search for god.
A
pujari says to worship god in a temple, offer him something, and ask for him.
A
saint says god cannot be seen except by only Gnanam.
A
politician says that so and so size idol should be built and worship.
Can we say or define how the life is?
All body forms are different, but life is
one.
Just like electrical appliances like cooler,
fridge, computer …are different but current is one.
“ekam sat, vipra
bahudha vadante”
It
is just like four blind people defining an elephant.
One
defines that the elephant is like a pillor,
another
described it as a wall,
the
third said it is like a tail,
and
the
fourth, it is like a trunk.
That means
actually nobody has seen the entire structure.
Even in
Kurukshetra, when Krishna showed his viswarupam,
Arjuna
could not visualize it.
Krishna
blessed him that vision so that he could see that.
Similarly
almost all the religions of the world are like that.
Each
one tries to explain the God in his own style.
As
man is not perfect, his visualization is also imperfect.
Imperfection
leads to imperfection.
Actually Advaitam is very difficult to apply
in day to day life.
A thief, a saint, an animal all are same.
How to treat them all equally.
Advaitam is good in philosophical concept.
In police cases, business cases, … it seems
absurd.
That means, to understand the philosophical
concept one should elevate oneself.
Krishna too did not tell Gita to Arjuna when
he was wavering.
He waited till he got that maturity to
understand.
To
understand we should have “the punyam of last birth”.
Secondly
if we are monger of things, craving for wealth, etc. philosophy cannot be understood.
If
we always thing what is the benefit of doing this, we cannot understand.
To
understand this philosophy we should become a gnani.
For
others to understand they have to wait, elevate themselves, etc.
How to get punyam?
By doing good to others.
Pious life.
Following Dharmam.
Truthfulness is the ultimate.
Wherever there is truthfulness, there lies
all the gods of the world.
Whatever is good to you, do the same to
others.
