00:00What is religion, which gives us some result.
00:04If you follow something, even our kids, when they go to school,
00:09they achieve something.
00:11Every year they get grades and they pass and go on another higher classes, right?
00:17But in religion, you must have observed.
00:20See, every day our mother or grandmother, I have watched from my childhood,
00:26they do every day that path, puja, every day that course,
00:30that thing is, since from childhood till death, things are going on.
00:37Same thing, same thing.
00:39No progress, no change, no examination, no passing, no further classes.
00:45Till the death, the same course, half an hour.
00:48Same mala, same job, same path, same arti, same puja.
00:53At the end, every year nobody takes your exam,
00:56whether you pass or not, you are successful or not, nobody knows.
01:00All routine, mechanical thing goes on.
01:03And on the contrary, your anger, lust, greed, pride, everything, they are there.
01:09Maybe increasing.
01:11So this is not right. We expect result from our kids.
01:15So I think this is not right.
01:17There should be something else which gives result.
01:20See, if you, suppose you worship Lord Krishna or some may worship Lord Rama
01:26or Mahavira or Shiva.
01:29So, worshipping, doing abhisheka or milk and flowers, offering flowers,
01:37then doing mala or om namah shivaya, om namah shivaya, whatever you are doing,
01:41at the same time, after sometime, after prior time, you may be worshipping like
01:47nijananda roopam, shivoham, shivoham.
01:52So, those who don't know Sanskrit, they think I am worshipping Shiva, the Shiva-ling.
01:59But the meaning of both the things are totally contradicting.
02:05Om namah shivaya means I am worshipping to Shiva, God Shiva.
02:11And shivoham means I myself is Shiva, I myself is God.
02:16See, when you say two things at a time, that means you are not doing anything with understanding.
02:23You are, on the contrary, you are nullifying previous statement.
02:27When you say, I am, I am, aham shivoham.
02:31Same way you worship Krishna or Shri Krishnashram mama, Shri Krishnashram ma,
02:37or Hare Ram, Hare Ram, Ram Ram.
02:40And next moment you say, aham brahmasmi.
02:46See, these things are contradicting again.
02:50See, so when I used to think, what is this?
02:54Why these things are going on?
02:57What is the meaning of all these things?
02:59Then, if you try to understand, go deep into scripture,
03:04or history of overall Ram, Krishna, Mahavira, Shiva.
03:09So, Lord Krishna has never said that I am God and to chant this mantra,
03:15I am Shri Krishnashram mama, Ram Ram, Bhogate Vasudeva.
03:19He has never said to anybody to do all these things.
03:22These things came afterwards, after he has passed away from this physical body.
03:29He never said that you do this and you don't do that.
03:35This is religion and you follow this.
03:37No, he has never given any religion.
03:39See, Ram, Krishna, Mahavira, Shiva, they have never given any religion to anybody.
03:47Religions were established later on, after the Acharyas and Rishis, Munis.
03:54They have given all these things by the name of Lord Krishna or Ram or Mahavira or Shiva.
04:00All of them have given only one thing, that is spiritual science.
04:05See, if you go to Lord Krishna, he has given realization of Atma to Arjuna in Gita.
04:14He has not said that you chant my name or you do worshipping or you do puja,
04:20nothing he has said to do anything.
04:23And he has not asked Arjuna to do anything and Arjuna has never done anything.
04:28Just he has given the knowledge to find out who am I.
04:32And he says very clearly to Arjuna, you are not Arjuna, you are Atma.
04:40Right now you are recognizing me as Krishna, but I am not Krishna.
04:44What you are looking, in reality I am not this.
04:47I am also Atma.
04:49And you are finding this Kaka, Mama, Guru, Bhai, Grandpa, they are also not that.
04:56In reality they are also Atma.
05:00See, the philosophy part of all our great, great God or teachers,
05:07it is very beautiful, very simple to understand.
05:11Once you understand this, that understanding will continue throughout in your life.
05:16And that will give all the time peace of mind, bliss from inside,
05:21and no disturbance, nothing in your life.
05:26No misery, no unhappiness.
05:29So this is very important thing, we have missed philosophical part.
05:33And only worshipping part we are after that.
05:37See, both the things are hand together, worshipping and knowledge.
05:43See, you cannot go only by one thing.
05:45These are the two wheels of a cart.
