“Participant: "I am not here to prove I am God.”

Participant: "I am not here to prove I am God. I am here to prove you are God. Please, why did you say you are God?

SPH: Please be seated. When I say you are God, I mean whatever you have an idea about God - you are much more than that. Can you describe what you understand by the word God? Can you describe? Hmm.

Participant: Uhh, explained in Shastras, how the Bharatn - when Bhagavan is saying in Bhagavad Gita, "I am Krishna, you are Arjuna..."

SPH: See, whatever you know about God - the quality or the experience or anything, you are much more than that. That's what I mean. Please understand, if you think God is all pervading energy or God - you see, if you say Krishna, what do you know about Krishna? The person is such a wonderful joy, power, glory and all the qualities.

He lived his whole life like a leela. See, whenever you start cherishing, enjoying your very existence, the whole life will look like a leela. Krishna lived in that space, that’s why we always call Krishna’s biography as Krishna leela. Krishna’s history is called Krishna leela - it was such a wonderful play. Whatever quality you remember, you identify, you associate, you understand in the name of Krishna, you have much more than that.

Possibility which is in you, potentiality which is in you is much more than that. Please understand, I am not disrespecting Krishna. Immediately your mind will say, "No, no, no, how can I be equal to God?" Person who says he is equal to God and person who says he is not equal to God - understand both are egoistic.

At least the person who claims himself as God will have his ego somewhere cornered - society will not allow that. Somebody will make fun of him, "Ahh, see this fool, he is claiming himself as God, he is a mad cap." But the person who is not - who is thinking,“I am not God" his ego will never be attacked. So he is the most cunning idiot, he is the most cunning fellow - topsy-turvy ego; inferiority ego. He can easily preserve himself, protect himself.

Please understand, neither the idea you are - nor the idea you are not is a ultimate truth. Understand, actually I can say this way - the inferiority ego is much more dangerous than superiority belief. Neither you need to say you are not God nor you need to say you are God - just experience you are God; that is the truth. Person who has experienced he is Divine will not feel - people ask Me: how do you know you are Enlightened? I tell them, "The doubt whether I am Enlightened or not or the ego 'I am Enlightened', both disappears - both are not there. That is the space - that is the symbol that you are Enlightened. Neither you will have a doubt whether I am Enlightened or not nor will you have ego I am Enlightened. Both will not be there - you will just be radiating; and the people around you will feel that you are living in it.

If you see the original words of Ramakrishna, very strong word and He uses lot of Bengali slang. Somehow unfortunately in English everything got edited and did not get translated. He is such a villager - such a joyful - joy to read his words and you should read in original Bengali to understand the juicy being. See, He is portrayed unfortunately by the:I think I can tell the truth these vedantic Swamis - as a very decent culture which appeals to the modern mind. But He was such a pure, simple, raw being - using straight words, straight cut examples. If you read the original Bengali - now the latest - the original Bengali, the Kathamrita is translated as it is and came out five volumes

If you read those things He is a very straight - no, just - why I am telling you this; please don't mind by the word 'idiot' - you may think that, "How can an Enlightened person use the word 'idiot'? What can be done? That is what I am using - so nothing can be done. If you want, learn the spirit from that word or judge and waste your time. That's all. I don't have a problem. But, why I am using this - this kind of strong words - this is the way; I don't feel like editing. The moment I edit these words the strength or depth with which I want to convince or convey this idea will lose its power over you. That's the reason I am using the exact word - I want to remind you once more if you think you are not God you are egoistic. Thank you.
