There is Only Vasudeva - Why the Resistance ? Why not Accept the Truth?

Remember this at all times, because it is the main principle of the Gita -Vasudev Sarvam (All is God). If you do not believe in the other, then there is no "All", there is only Vasudeva (Paramatma). The All is everything, including our body, mind, intellect, ego and the World. The All is everything that is not your Self. The All remains till such time as we give it importance, and we believe that it exists. As soon as we realise that the Allhas no existence of its own and it should have no importance, the All merges into Vasudeva (God). The sarvam becomes Vasudev. Then there is only Vasudev (God). There is nothing else, there was nothing else, there will be nothing else, there can be nothing else.

Accept this once and for all - there is only Vasudeva (God). Remain ever established in Vasudeva (Paramatma). It is because you have given existence to "asat" (unreal) and thus given it importance that you perceive "All". Giving existence and importance to the other (asat) i.e. everthing else besides Vasudeva, is the main flaw. It simply IS and that is "Existence". It has only been believed that it is not realized, but it is already realized. "Nasato Vidhyate Bhavo, Nabhavo Vidhyate Satah" (Gita 2:16). There is only Vasudeva (Only God).

There is true and there is false. What is false is false because of the true. The false gets its existence only because of the existence of the truth. Without the truth the false has no power whatsoever. It cannot even exist. We say that 'All is God' only till such time as we give the All an existence and importance. Otherwise, it is just God that exists in everything. God is already there. We do not have to do anything to attain Him. The mistake that we have made is that we have given the All importance and given it existence due to our ignorance of the truth. Therefore the All exists in our mind in opposition to the IS (God). God IS, and is always there, and is everattained. No matter however hard we try, we cannot attain what does not exist - i.e. the All. As soon as a person realises this, his work is over. You attain and understand that God is All and All is God.

You have to do nothing for your Self. You should do all you can for the world without wanting anything in return. In Karma Yog, there is nothing to do for the Self, everything is to be done for the world. Even though you are doing, you should never think that you are the doer. You are a mere tool in His Hands. If you startthinking that you are the doer, you will get attached to the fruits of your action and start enjoying the result of your actions - which will bind you to this world and give you tensions and worries. Doing for others with a selfless motive is Karma Yog. This can unite the whole world - all religions (Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Jews,Parsis, etc.). This is ever attained in any religions. "Bade bhaagya Manushya Janam pawaa" It has nothing to do with the body. It is all about discrimination (vivek). "Hai so sunder hai sadaa, nahin so sunder naahi... hai so dikhe naahi". We are seeing what is not, and not what IS. One is a knower and the other is to be known. Give things of nature, back to nature. We have the ability to know. The intellect to know what is right and what is wrong is only given to humans. Human beings have the ability to know this, that we are ever established in "Is-ness". It is not about simply learned knowledge, it is realizing this. Not like learning a language, it is divine knowledge, true knowledge. "Sa sarvavit bhajati maam, sarva bhaaveneh bhaavitah... ...Iti guhyatam shaastra" One who realizes this, has nothing remaining to be done, to beknown, and to be attained. "The one who realizes this, worships and is devoted to Me." That One who realizes this, never forgets Me, and I never forget Him, says Bhagwaan. "Yo maam pachyati sarvatra, sarvamcha mai pachyati" Bhagwaan is an amazing player. In all is Paramatma (God), and All are in Paramatma (God). Realize this in solitude.

Bhagwaan IS. Everything is Bhagwaan. We see the world with our eyes. Everything is happening as part of His divine play, as He is a player. "Ban gaye Aap akele sab kuch, naam dharaa sansaar" "You alone became everything, and that everything we call the World, this Body, Mind, Intellect, Ego". So we will naturally see only the world and I, and not the power or truth behind it. In fact, we are all situated in the IS (Parmatma, Vasudeva)), which is always there and will always remain. The IS (Vasudeva) is in ALL and the ALL is in the IS. The One is in everything and the Everything is in the One.

Importance of Temple Worship

The divine medicine of Bhagavan Sri Krishna's Grace to wipe out our sorrows is to develop unshakable faith in Bhagavan and tolerance is the medicine of Grace to wipe out our sorrows. Krishna-Bhakti alone can give us the capacity to put up with sorrows. Vedic Temples are the agencies for developing that Bhakti. Hence, the need for temples at all places. All offerings to His deities in the temples are tokens of our gratitude to Bhagavan Krishna .

He alone is a Vaishnava Acharya, who, after clearly understanding the conclusive teachings of the Vedis Sastras, makes the people of the world gain their welfare by making them stick to the path shown in the Sastras and also himself does everything according to Sastras and remains in that experience .

Many acts relating to Sri Krishna , like building Krishna 's temples, digging tanks are performed. While executing them, there would be many difficulties. There would come also several kinds of dishonour . Not minding any of these, they would complete their tasks with mental one-pointedness removing impurities from their minds and letting the mind wander. By straightening their mind, they acquire mind control and at the end, they realise the Reality that is to be known. Digging tanks, building temples and such other acts are called *poorttam* . The performance of sacrifices, etc., is known as *ishtam* . Combining these two, we have the word *Ishtapoortam* .

Bhagavan Sri Krishna says about Temple-worship in Uddhava Gita (27.49-54) :

• By worshiping Me through the various methods prescribed in the Vedas and tantras, one will gain from Me his desired perfection in both this life and the next.
• The Bhakta should more fully establish My Deity by solidly constructing a temple, along with beautiful gardens. These gardens should be set aside to provide flowers for the regular daily worship, special Deity processions and holiday observances.
• One who offers My Deity gifts of land, markets, cities and villages so that the regular daily worship and special festivals of the Deity may go on continually will achieve opulence equal to My own.
• By installing My Deity one becomes king of the entire earth, by building a temple for Me one becomes ruler of the three worlds, by worshiping and serving the Deity one goes to the planet of Lord Brahma, and by performing all three of these activities one achieves a transcendental form like My own.
• But one who simply engages in devotional service with no consideration of fruitive results attains Me. Thus whoever worships Me according to the process I have described will ultimately attain pure devotional service unto Me.
• Anyone who steals the property of the Devas or the brahmanas, whether originally given to them by himself or someone else, must live as a worm in stool for one hundred million years.

How to escape from Sins

We know many faults we commit, even if others do not know them. Sometimes we realise we are doing so many evil things and repent bitterly and feel why we should be born . Our duty is to pray to our Ishta-deva Sri Krishna -"I have committed so many faults. Will You not, 0 Bhagavan , give me the will power not do like that in future and will you not purify my mind?"

We must note down in a diary every night before we go to bed the faults committed by us and pray to Bhagavan Sri Krishna to give us courage and intelligence not to do so. This should be propagated widely.

Bhagavan Krishna says in Srimad Bhagavad Gita ( 9.30 ) : "Even if the worst sinner worships Me with true bhakti, he should be considered as virtuous . because he has rightly decided his duty (i.e , He is positive in his belief that there is nothing like devoted worship of Me)".
