The Right Way To Achieve!

VerifiedShiva Sutras·Adikailaasa, Bengaluru, Bharat·8 min
The Satsang

This is the story. Now, we have many things to learn from this story. Who is Vishnu? Husband of Lakshmi. Wealth. Representative of wealth. And who is Brahma? Husband of Saraswati, representative of knowledge, intellect. You should understand a basic truth. Neither by intellect nor by wealth you can achieve bliss, you can achieve God. Neither by intellect nor by wealth you can achieve God. You can’t reach the ultimate, neither through, lo.., wealth, nor through intellect.

Second truth. If you try to achieve the bliss through wealth, at some point, you will end up in success of depression and you will have little bit of intelligence. There is a chance you may be saved. If you try to achieve the bliss through wealth, at some point, after 50, once you get everything, whatever you want to have, you will face the success of depression, and there is a possibility for you to turn towards the God. There is a possibility for you to surrender. But if you work in the path of intellect, you will never be saved.

If you, go through the wealth, there is a chance of you falling into the success of depression, and you may turn, you may understand: “I can’t. I am done. Enough.” But when you go through the intellect, when you go through knowledge, not only you will not achieve, you will try to get some false witnesses to show, to prove you have achieved. The rituals or the false witnesses brought by the people who worked in the line of knowledge, but who have not achieved the ultimate truth. Rituals are the thazhampoos. They have not achieved, but they wanted to show to the society they have achieved, the false witnesses, the wrong techniques, wrong techniques and wrong rituals.

You see, when rightly done ritual itself will become meditation. Every, every puja starts with Dhyana. When wrongly done, meditation itself will become ritual. The wrong techniques, the wrong rituals are the thazhampoos, brought by the people who try to achieve through the path of knowledge, intellect, and did not achieve. The wrong philosophies are the thazhampoos, brought by the people who tried to achieve but did not achieve through the path of intellect. All these shad darshanas are the thazhampoos, brought down by different, different people. People who work through the intellect, not only they don’t achieve, they do not want to agree they do not achieve. They have not achieved.

The third lesson. Flying high is rajas. Going down is tamas. Neither tamas nor rajas can lead you to bliss, can lead you to God. Going up is rajas. Going down is tamas. Neither tamas nor rajas can lead you to God. Brahma is a representative of logic, nyaya, a complete utter anyaya. Nyaya, is the total anyaya. If you are, the people who are caught in the manipuraka, they gave nyaya as the solution, logic as the solution. They say: “If you are a great tarki, if you can conquer anybody, you know the solution.” Conquering is the solution.

That is why... goes on changing, time to time, place to place, and Tarka has no end. Tarka, has no…. Tarka, Tarka is the Nyaya, Tark the uh, logic. Debates has no end. Actually, let Me narrate what is Nyaya. Only then you will understand. I should give a simple basic introduction about all the philosophy. Only then you will understand how great Shiva is, how honest Shiva is. Unless I remove all the other things, all the other bushes, I will not be able to plant this Kalpavriksha in your heart. So, now I am removing all the other bushes which exists in your mind, in the name of Shastras, so that I can plant this Tantra in your heart.

I am trying to show how Shiva has done a wonderful job, by delivering this great Tantra, which is a gist of the, essence of the whole spiritual philosophies. This is the book of books, unabridged dictionary of world philosophies and spirituality, sutra of sutras.

[00:07:04] What is nyaya you know? The people of nyaya... how somebody is declared as a pundit in nyaya you know? You will sit and start speaking. You will decide what question the other guy should ask. You will make him ask the question which you wanted, that is the way you design your lecture. That is the way you should design your lecture. And the moment he puts the question, again you will answer and in your answer itself you will give it in a such a way, you should know what question he will ask. And again you will answer such a way, from that answer only he must be able to ask the next question.

If you can manage the opposite person in the same way, 7 questions if you can make him ask as you wanted, you are Tarka pundit, you are a nyaya pundit.
