“The essence of what I try to tell you, understand all these three…”
The essence of what I try to tell you, understand all these three layers, understand all these three Sariras and look into it. The moment you understand, your whole attention will turn towards the seer. It will neither be in the knowing nor be in the breath or be in the form. If your intelligence is based on constantly knowing, you will be dead. That is why, the intellectual philosophers are so impractical because most of your energy will be centered, most of your energy will be bind in the Karana Sarira means the Sushupti, deep sleep state. That is why, the more you become intellectual, greater philosopher you become, the connection with the reality is disconnected, you become so impractical.
A small story.
Few philosophers have been arrested and put in jail; and, all of them somehow because no other way started agreeing on one point that all of them should escape. For that agreement, I don’t know how many months discussion went on! And they planned, developed some plan, understanding. They went upto the level of making a duplicate key, made a duplicate key also.These much work being done by group of philosophers is unimaginable, miracle by itself.
I always tell people - one head, thousand hand, work will be done. Philosopher means ten head, no hand. If there are one or two hands, they will be hitting each other. They will be fighting with each other and beating each other. And no hand will be left to do any work. Anyhow, these guys went upto the level of making a key, everything was set, plan; According to the plan tonight they will open the door and give a signal. All others will come to the door and run away. Two people, they went, not only they did not give any signal, they did not come back also. These guys are waiting, waiting, waiting. After two hours they slowly came back tired, sweating. All these guys asked ‘what happened?’ These two philosophers who went to open the door and they are supposed to give signal for other guys to escape, came back and said, ‘No, I think we need to drop the plan! Today we cannot escape.’ These guys asked, ‘Why?’ ‘fools forgot to lock.’ Understand, philosopher cannot be spontaneous. Everything has to be according to the plan and even if one line in the plan is missing, over, nothing can be done, too much away from practical realm, practical reality. They can never be practical.
That is why, traditionally the Lakshmi will never be near Saraswati. The wealth will never get accumulated with the philosophers, because they will become too impractical. For wealth, you need to be completely practical like a Krishna! But the philosophers more and more become like Brahma, too much away from reality. That is why not many temples. He is sitting in somewhere and something he is doing. Finally he ends up creating this messy world!
Anyhow, too much of head moves you away from the practical reality, moves you away from the exact truth. That is why, knowing if you are centered continuously on knowing, most of your energy will be blocked in the deep sleep, Sushupti Sarira. The second, understand, always logical people think they are very intelligent, they think, that’s all, not. Logic means what? Analysing, analysing, analysing, segregating, segregating, segregating and when you can’t segregate, when you can’t dissect, when you can’t analyse anymore, that part you call yourself as a speciality, specialist in that part.
In Bharat even if you get some special specialist for one organ, for eye, or dentist, or any lungs that itself is a big thing. Here I saw in the one part, there are specialist even for inside. For eye, right eye, left eye, and inside the right eye, there are so many specialists, analysing, analysing, analysing and finally when you can’t analyse anymore, call yourself as speciality of that part; specialist in that part. That is the logic.
Understand, in the Vedic tradition, logic is not dissecting or analysing, it is integrating and evolving, integrating and evolving. The whole language is different. If you are knowing based, most of your energy will be inside the Sushupti because for knowing, you need logic, no need for visualisation. With visualisation, you will have intelligence, not intellect. Here Mahadeva says only about intellect. Intelligence will be awakened when you go beyond all these three bodies; not with any one of these body. Knowing intellect, logic means the deep sleep state-Sushupti, away from practicality.
