considered divine (aishwarya). Here milk from the cows and
buffalos is at your disposal. The trees give forth their fruits for
all human beings, so if a human being loses his Godlike qualities
in his human form, what kind of a human is he? From the
foundation as a human being one has to become a parmeshwar
(the highest God); a parmatma (the Supreme Soul). Instead
people behave like animals and indulge in artadhyan (adverse
meditation against one’s own self) and raudradhyan (adverse
meditation against others). Here as a human being one is
supposed to look for the path of liberation but instead he ends
up increasing the disease of interaction of worldly life and walks
around in a state of intoxication of, ‘I know something’. True
definition of knowing leads to a decrease in the disease of
interaction of worldly life. One will have increased awareness
with which he will not stumble or clash with anyone. Therefore,
if you do not have the knowledge, why are you walking around
intoxicated?
Scriptures of Veda are vehicles to the Self
One man tells me, “I have studied all the four Vedas. All
the four Vedas are on the tip of my tongue through my intense
study.” So I told him, “What do the four Vedas themselves
say?” They say, “This is not that. The Atma you are looking for
cannot be contained within these Vedas. It is not in the Vedas;
therefore you should go to a Gnani.” I am saying, “Come to
me and I can show you ‘this is that’ within an hour.” Vedas
show you the path where you will find what you are looking
for, however you cannot find it in the directions it gives. You
need a Gnani Purush for that. You cannot write your own
medicine without consulting a doctor first because there is fear
that you may die, and yet where there is a danger of
destruction of countless lives to come, you make your own
spiritual medicines and take it without even consulting a Gnani.
Scriptures are weapons; if you don’t know how to use them,
you will die for sure.
