Pranam to Parampoojya Parameshwar Sadguru Swami Anilji Maharaj
Shatpanchashika Stotra.. 11
(Based on the discourse in Hindi by Parampoojya Swami Anilji Maharaj)
World is true or false (Cont’d)
When such Lord Dutta devotee turns toward seeking Brahm, and listens from Brahm- Dhnyani Mahatma like Parampoojya Vasudevanand Saraswati Maharaj that this world was never formed, whatever is being seen is false, Seekers get confused. They think that it is impossible to consider world to be non existent. My mother, father, sisters, brothers are there. How can I tell them as false. I am a man or woman, I become hungry, I eat food, I have house, office, business etc. How can all these be false.
Whatever I am experiencing if I take those to be true then how can I rationalise Vedant Principles stating all these visible worldly things are false, are nonexistent. Such conflicting thoughts arise in the minds of Bhagwan Dattatreya devotees, who wish to seek Bhagwan through principle.
Only those seekers get The answers to these apparently contradictory and conflicting questions who are fully surrendered to Sadguru and has complete trust on Sadguru and Shastra sayings.
With the Blessings of Sadguru, Seeker develops the ability to rationalise discreetly whatever being seen and experienced in this world. There are two parts in whatever we see and experience. One is invisible, subtly present and other is visibly manifested. One part is Sat, immutable Eternal. Other is Asat, temporary, imaginary, only an illusion. One is Brahm and other is Maya.
Let us take cotton thread as an example. When we see thread we do not see cotton. When we analyse then we find that in fact thread is not existing in reality. The thread in our hand is actually cotton. Because the form is different we gave it the name of thread.
Cotton in the thread was not directly visible. With analysis we reached to the Truth of cotton which was hidden in the apparent false thread.
Similar rationalised analysis make us realise that Bhagwan Dattatreya only has taken the form of the world. World is false as the thread and Bhagwan Dattatreya is the only Truth as the cotton.
