Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 It is a good point that not only God is unimaginablebut alsoThe inseparable characteristics of God are alsounimaginable.Swami: The unimaginable God is called as BrahmanOr Jehovah or Allah, beyond the space & timeIf the characteristics of God are imaginable, then Brahman becomes imaginable, if the sunlight is seenThe sun is seen, neither Brahman nor itscharacteristicsAre unknown, then only Brahman is totally unknown. The unimaginable nature or the inexplicability ofBrahmanIs called as Maya, Gita says “ Mayinamtu Maheswaram”It means that the Lord or God possesses the power MayaThe sunlight is Maya and the Lord is the Sun.Therefore no one can catch God or His total power,Maya,If you catch Maya it means you have caught Brahman.The sun may hide behind a black cloud You may see a little light coming through the cloudYou can not say that you have seen the original fullsun lightIn which case you will see the sun alsosimultaneously.You saw only a little sunlight filtered through thecloud,By that you have known simply the existence of sun In a particular cloud only, in the sky several blackclouds exist.Similarly the Lord hides in a particular human formonlyAnd sends out a little Maya seeing which you candecide That the Lord is in that particular human being only,Where as the other human beings are ordinary peopleonly.You have not seen the full Maya of the LordIn which case you will see the Lord simultaneously You can not bear the vision of full Maya andsimultaneous LordYou can not see the sun with His original shinninglight When God enters the human body in the incarnationGod mixes a little of His inexplicability or Maya With a characteristic of the human body so that The imaginable characteristic of the human bodybecomesA little unimaginable, which can be called aswonderful.The word wonderful indicates a little higher statethanExplicability and much lower state than fullinexplicability.It is like the roof of a house, which is higher thanthe floor But much lower than the sky, you can grasp it And at the same time can not understand it.For example the human body has an explicablecharacteristicCalled as “ Lifting power” by lifting a suitablestone.The boy Krishna can lift a small stone, which is Explicable characteristic of the body boy, the nature,Nature or Prakruti is explicable by your analysis.A crane can lifts a small mountain, it is alsoexplicableBut the boy lifted the hill on his finger, this iswonderful,Because the lifting of mountain is grasped by youSince you can imagine the crane lifting the hill.But little inexplicability comes when the boy liftsthe hillThe boy, little lifting power of boy, crane liftingthe hill,All these are explicable signs of the nature, fullygraspedAmong these explicable concepts only one concept liesWhich is inexplicable that is the boy lifting the hillAssuming that the power of the crane is in the boy, Can that tender body withstand that much power?The material of work is metal in the crane, it canwithstand,But the body is a tender flower, how it withstood? One inexplicable point mixed with several explicablepointsIs called as wonder, it is a diluted inexplicability.The full inexplicability is unbearable to humanbeings.Even this wonder causes so much anxiety and thrill, Some times it leads to the failure of the heart byshock.Can anyone withstand the full inexplicability, ifshown?If Krishna stands by uplifting the entire earth on hisfinger,The devotee will collapse with the shock of surprise.He showed the entire world in His mouth to His motherShe could not withstand the vision and becameunconscious.The most confusing point in that vision is that She along with Krishna is also found in His mouth! The scene of vision and the entire site is in Hismouth!!He showed the entire cosmos within His body to ArjunaThe cosmic energy will burn the eye sight of ArjunaTherefore He gave the inner divine sight by which onlyArjuna could see the entire Electro magnetic spectrum,Which is in the form of the world, energy in the unitsof matter. Therefore the Lord shows tolerable miracles only,Which you can see even with your physical eyes.Miracles are wonderful, which are dilutedinexplicabilities.When you see a vision, you become shocked withexcitementAs long as you believe the vision is true, the shockcontinues. To save the devotee, a doubt in the mind of thedevotee arisesBy which he thinks that whether the vision isillusion.This doubt neutralizes the shock and arose by His willonlyIn Gita the Lord says “ Mattah Smrutih Jnanam”, whichmeansThat the same Lord gives true knowledge and also thedoubt.Jnanam or knowledge is the imaginable sign of thehuman body.When the Lord entered into the human body inincarnation,A little of His inexplicability or Maya enters jnanam.Now His knowledge becomes wonderful, which is both Understandable and little unimaginable, hencewonderful.Such divine knowledge is Prajnanam or specialknowledge.The Upasarga or suffix “Pra” means wonderfulspecialty.This will help you to detect the existence of Hisplace.Veda says “Asti Ityeva” which means, “only existenceis known”.Thus devotee who believes Him knows him a little. This little awareness of God is the experience of GodYou can not experience the full nature of God, becauseYou can not withstand the quantitative aspect of HisMayaYou have tasted a little water from the sea and youcan tell That the sea is saltish, that is sufficient since youtasted the sea.The entire sea cannot and need not be swallowed by youto say That the sea is saltish, the qualitative conclusion issameWhether you taste a drop or the entire ocean itself.You can know through the miracle that God isinexplicable.You need not understand the entire quantity of Hispower,Which is impossible and you can not withstand it.Veda says “ Satyam Jnanam Anantam Brahma”, it meansThat the special knowledge of the Lord is infinite.The devotee can never receive that entire specialknowledgeAfter receiving a little special knowledge, he canconcludeThat His special knowledge is infinite andunimaginable.A person who took a tumbler of water from the sea- And a person who took a pot of water from the sea-Both can say that the sea is infinite.Let the tumbler not think that the pot has swallowedthe whole sea,Let the pot not be proud that the tumbler has nottaken even a drop. Let the scholar not think that he received entireknowledge,Let him not think that ignorant people have noknowledge.His Holiness Shri Datta Swami Warmest Regards, O.
