Dasha Maha Vidyas

Guruji: All powers of God are manifest in man, whether one realises it or not. If one realises God he becomes God. Otherwise, he countinues to believe that he is not God, and so, searches for Godhood, outside of him. And he will never reach, because the direction is wrong. As long as you are moving along the circle, you will never be the centre.

Path to God is that which makes one God.

Kali, Tara, Sundari, Bhuvana, Bhairavi, Chandi, Dhuma, Bagala, Matangi, Kamala are the names for the ten paths. The ultimate goal is the same in each case - integration of all forms into one Godhood, which is identical with Self.

All these names are feminine. All powers are feminine, and the one from whom all powers emanate is God oneself. God enjoys his powers. He owns them. You can own them too, by realizing the truth of the statement that you are God, through experience.

There are obstacles to this realization, whose prime nature consists of two types of ignorance. The first is not seeing your true nature as that of God identity. The second is the wrong assumption of manly nature to yourself which makes you See many things where there is in reality only one thing.
That one thing which exists is Consciousness, All forms, all space, all time, all materials, are merely forms of Consciousness. That is not light, but it lights up everything for God to see. By it objects like sun, moon, stars, fire etc. shine. It is your, my, everyone's Consciousness that is the Light of lights. Take away that light and the world ceases to be.

The ignorance which creates the illusion of many is a creation of the limited ego, a mental object. The structure of the ego can be analysed to have the following components - Pity, doubt, shame, aversion, class, distiaction, norms of behaviour. These are the eight bonds which bind the unbindable Consciousness, and their stuff is also Consciousness. Once this is seen to be the case, the bonds loose their capacity to bind, and one's true nature is realised.

So, the paths to realisation of one's true nature as the undifferentiated God manifesting in many forms and names as the apparently diverse universe, have to sever these bonds, which are the obstacles, which like the shells of an onion are creating an entity out of vacuum, trying to protect an ego which is not there.

Each of the paths listed here and discussed in sufficient depth a self-sufficient guide for each path, strikes at the very root of ego, destroys it, burns up all the karmas and their ability to bind one. Knowing that the karmas are just paper tigers, one becomes sinless, and leads others to that state.

If one sees God in oneself and all that one sees, then no matter what he sees, he is sinless- Sins are afraid of such a onej-Karmas fall away from such a one.

God becomes sinful by thinking that he is sinful; in his total freedom, he chooses to be bound; in that state he is called man. Now, all that a man has to do to shake off the bondage and the misery which attachments causes is to choose not to remain bound. That choice must be exercised. That is the one step which man has to take towards God; God will do the rest. If you take one step to him, he will take ten steps to you.

If you sit and meditate, you will see God. If you sing to God, God will dance for you. If you dance to God, God will embrace you. If you embrace God, he will enter you. If you enter him, he becomes one with you. God has no choice in this natter, because you are the God, and your choice is his choice too.

So, do not offer your miseries to God, because he will do the same to you. Do not ask him  to do things for you, because he will ask you to do that is ten times over. Instead, offer God your happiness, your song, your dance, your bliss, and he will do the same for you. Make efforts to eliminate your one bondage, he will come himself and remove them all.

God is a great amplifier. You whisper into the microphone, he blasts all over the place through a public address system. So God be with you in making a wise choice of your utterances!

    1. Acharya Bijoy Krishna Goswami said, "About one lakh sadhus had gathered in the Kumbhamela of Haridwar. Only 3 among them had realised the truth (cosmic principle). Everyone else was engaged with attires, sectarianism and opinions. I asked one among those three, 'Why don't the sadhus achieve the Truth inspite of undergoing so much of austerities? He spoke in Hindi-"Baba, I am a small insect, what can I say?" On my expressing an earnest desire to know he said - "Nobody wants God these days. People want respect, recognition, to be the head of a monastery. They get all these."

      A disciple asked-'It seems man is contented on attaining 'tatwajnan'. What is the principal sign of a 'tatwajnani'?

      Bijoy Krishna Goswami wrote down — "The sign of having witnessed a tattwa will be manifested in the character. That person will not slander others even at the cost of his own life; will consider self praise equivalent to poison. He will be kind to trees, creepers, insects, beasts and birds, humans and all living beings. One who does not have any kindness towards living beings, one who slanders, and one who praises oneself, is not a tattwajnani. If one continues to have malice inspite of performing japa, spiritual practice, prayers externally and profusely, then that is not dharma. Dharma is not attained unless one is free from malice.
      One should never do anything without analysing. Analysis is needed even while showing kindness. Show kindness only to the extent of your limitation and duty. Many great sadhus have been ruined by this unlimited kindness. The yogis must exercise great analysis when offering kindness. Else, they will fall into great trouble. When the Yogi sees that a particular person will be benefited by this much of kindness, then only will he show that much of kindness."

      As Guruji Amritananda used to say, "The Guru is just the toll gate, the Guru-dwara that gets you onto the highway. The journey itself is yours. Strive to be self-directed. Decide what you feel is right. Don't listen to me; don't listen to any guru if we contradict the thoughts inside you. Do what you feel is right for you. Be a light unto yourself."

      So be self-directed. This is a feature of my parampara. Guruji and Guru Garu were like that. And I am also...from the young age I was relying on Shiva's own guidance and as a result got connected with Guruji because felt complete oneness and unity with Him and His bhaav.

      Use your analysis and intuition. If you TRULY want God and not implementing low vile desires under the guise of spirituality and God-realization - you will without any doubts achieve your goal and become Tattwa-jnani :-)

  9. Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.
