“Swamiji - What do you want to know?”
Swamiji - Big Bang?
Participant - Yes
Swamiji - What do you want to know? It’s actually Consciousness exploding and converting one part of it into matter. Anything else you want to know? Especially specific questions I will answer.
Participant - Time will be the another part of Consciousness?
Swamiji - No, no; From Consciousness only, matter...the space and time gets created. Out of that space and time meeting with each other, matter gets created. From the matter, the planets get created. From the planets, the life starts happening. Okay? Then?
Participant - Swamiji
Swamiji - Yes.
Participant - In regards to the question he just asked, I read in one of the spiritual books... and I know you will say I’m comparing, but I just I’m just trying to understand, it said that when God, after Prayala?
Swamiji – Pralaya
Participant - Ya Pralaya, did I say right?
Swamiji - Yes.
Participant - So from what I could understand, it said that God wakes up, finds nothing around him, and then He…..
Swamiji - Not God... Brahma wakes up.
Participant - Brahma?
Swamiji - Yes
Participant - Okay
Swamiji - Because, in...if you use the word God, it will...it may confuse. The God is the ultimate Consciousness, who is source, even for Brahma. Brahma only can sleep or wake up. God cannot sleep or wake up.
Participant - So out of God comes Brahma, who wakes up…
Swamiji - Yes
Participant - And finds nothingness and then begins to remember…
Swamiji - Then he creates, that’s all. That’s the way Creation happens.
Participants - So Brahma is part of Brahma Vishnu Mahesh, but Brahman is God.
Swamiji - Ah, yes. Brahma is part of Brahma Vishnu Mahesh, Brahman is God, Right. You are right. You got the point.
Participant - Okay and in the Upanishad, when it talks about realizing the Self, that’s the Brahman.
Swamiji - Yes, that is the Brahman, not Brahma.
Participant - Okay
Swamiji - Not the Puranic 4-headed Brahma
Participant - Swamiji
Swamiji - Yes.
Participant - How to develop Bhakti in ourselves?
Swamiji - Bhakti...Bhakti you can’t develop, it has to happen. I am creating all the process and space where Bhakti will happen. Don’t worry.
Participant - Thank you Swamiji.
Participant - Swamiji
Swamiji - Yes?
Participant - I have a question about unclutching. When I tried to do unclutching, the first few thoughts I can easily unclutch. But, sometimes I get stuck on some deeper thoughts and then it takes me on a wild ride. And then I realize that…
Swamiji - That is the moment you really need to unclutch.
Participant - I realize that after a while and then say, “Oh, I need to unclutch”, so I come back.
Swamiji - Yes, that is enough. When you realize if you unclutch, that’s all.
Participant – okay. Then, after a while, like 15-20 minutes, my mind, my brain goes...it’s kind of dead, and it’s kind of feeling sleepy, then I wake up and then okay try to do unclutch again.
Swamiji - Oh.
Participant - Is that okay Swamiji?
Swamiji - Yes, that is okay.
Participant - Thank you Swamiji.
