Master Was Shocked To Hear This From Sri Ramakrishna By Swami Sarvapriyananda #motivation

s ramakrishna says but one cannot realize god without renouncing lust and go now here in this dialogue you can see s ramak Krishna is being quite strict throughout uncompromising what is going on here in the gospel in katam is often the subtext something is going on underneath it often you will find s Krishna says of course everybody can realize God people come and say do you have to renounce everything and become monst to realize God and S Krishna says no the moon Uncle moon is everybody's Uncle so uh you can stay at home and you are married and you have a job and children and family and all and you can do sad and realize God then he told told a story that Rama this is from yoga Rama wanted to give up everything after learning vant wanted to give up everything and become a monk and dasar was worried who will be the king you see the tragedy of it that he wants Rama to be the king and then finally he exiled Rama to away from the kingdom and Rama did become the king but by that time Das said long ago P away anyhow so he asked visha please convince the prince to stay and do his duty you have taught all this vant and everything now he wants to become a monk and go away so what happen to the kingdom then vashishta goes to ramachandra and says all right you may renounce the word you want to realize God all right you may renounce the world and realize God but vishra knows a secret that ramachandra is none other than incarnation of Vishnu aatar so there's a purpose so says to him but you want to renounce the world convince me first that the world is something other than Brahman there is God Ultimate Reality and this world is something different from that reality in that case you may renounce it I have no more objection what does that mean it means that raama you're making a mistake what you are trying to renounce here is the same reality it's like this if somebody says that I have golden ornaments you know I like I'm very attached to the ornaments necklace ring bracelet then somebody comes and tells me but the necklace is not the reality gold is the reality ring is not the reality gold is the reality bracelet is not the bangal is not the reality gold is the reality and then suppose I misunderstand I say oh the ornaments are not real gold is real throw away the ornaments I shall find gold you're making a big mistake because that gold is right there in that in those ornaments and equally in all of the ornaments I was in Fiji many years ago that was in about 10 years 9 years ago and uh I was going to give a talk to an audience they're mostly Indians in that audience almost all and then I was going to talk about vant so the Swami there at that time he was a little worried he said um you give examples all right um so that they will understand what vant is he said yes yes I will give examples then he became even more buried and then he came and before I got on the stage he told me whispered don't give the example of why so there's what particular example he meant was s Ram Krishna story of the Goldsmith the fraudulent Goldsmith the the reason he told me this was the audience was mostly gold spits they are a community of jewellers who had gone and settled down in Fiji very prosperous wealthy community now what is that story that story is that how people cheat in the name of religion so man goes to a jewelry shop so as he's entering the jewelry shop he finds somebody sitting outside using a japamala doing Jaa from inside comes the call you know k k means Krishna and then um this man sitting outside the shop said gopala gopal Krishna and from inside came the call hurry hurry and this from outside came the reply har har and this man who customer who entering thought what a wonderful this these shopkeepers are so devout this is the best place I will take I will go and buy my jewels from here but he did not know it was a code language from inside the shopkeeper is asking the person outside who's a lookout they're asking they all conmen so they asking from inside kha in Bengal Bengali kab kop who are they who are who's coming give me an evaluation is it innocent simple person and from outside that man replied gopala gopala gopala means a her of cows these people are as simple as cows foolish then from inside came the question hurry hurry har in Sanskrit means to to steal so H hurry means horon should I should I cheat them are they good can be exploited and the man outside says har har yes yes go on cheat cheat this was the actual conversation going on they were not at all good people although they seem to be taking the name of God in the name of God lot of people cheat because often what happens is um people who are otherwise very intelligent in the world Highly Educated very accomplished in the field of religion suddenly turn out to be babies suddenly gble sometimes suddenly very enthusiastic about religion spirituality and anything and everything they're willing to swallow in the name of religion that should not be common sense should be applied you have built up a life an education you have held built up a career trained in science and rational thinking apply the same thing here rules of Good Conduct morality all those things should be apply so anyway that was the story of the fraudulent goldsmiths the Swami was worried I will tell that example because the audience are all all BS so I said no no I know I got comment I will not tell that a that story so I told him this example of the bangle and the necklace and the go and the and the ring and the gold is the common reality behind all of them after the talk um there's little te one gentleman came up and he said you are trying to Ru business I said how that is our business in your example you said it is all the same same gold but we charge for melting the gold down into converting this in NE ring into a necklace and necklace into a bangle that's our business and you saying the this these ornaments are nothing but name and form the reality is gold alone but it is true in all those ornaments it's the same gold if I throw away the ornaments I say I will try to find the gold I'm missing the mark because I have not understood what gold is another similar story gold smith uh he told his son son I need some gold go to the Vault yesterday I showed you there's a vault open the vault and get some gold for me for the work I'm going to do so the boy ran off then he came back and said father there's no gold he was alarmed what do you mean last night I showed you there so much gold was there no no there's no gold and so the Goldman got very worried he went into the house and opened the Vault said here it is why did you say there's no gold where here this necklace this bangle this ring boy said but this is necklace bangal ring where is the gold he does not recognize it that is the problem we also don't recognize it see when all the mystics say here is God all around us we look where where I don't see God anywhere our Swami Su mahaj who's the general secretary of our order he told a story about Swami niran who was the vice president of the ramakrishna m mission disci disciple of actually he was a saok for Swami [Applause] brahmanand and Swami brahmanand before he passed he blessed all all around him the last day of his life and he blessed nand you have served me uh diligently I bless you that you will realize Brahman in this very life later people used to ask have you realized Brahman and he he said that yes I have now Swami surand who is now our general secretary he was a young brahmachari he's a disciple of Swami nand so he told us this story he was a young brahmachari at that time many many years ago and he was sitting in the room where Swami nirananda was sitting there in the chair very old Swami at that time he was vice president of ramakrishna mission and Swami niran um suddenly said to this young man what do you see there and San said I told him there's a bed cart bed what do you see there table table and then under the bed trunk you know in India used to have this iron big huge suitcases like made of iron trunk trunk bed table trunk how many years have you been in how many years have you become a sadu said 3 years 3 years you see his bed table trunk she started shouting and then a senior Swami who was the G was the sa for he came running up thought that brahmachari may have made some mistake so what happened Maharaj look at this young man he says he has been sadu for 3 years and he cannot see Krishna Krishna everything he can't see Krishna here he's seeing it's a bed he's seeing it's a table he's seeing it's a trunk and of course the attendant Swami knew the ways of n so he said to calm him down M it take taking a little bit of time he will see God everywhere soon don't worry and was very worried three years he has been a s not seeing God everywhere so they were that impatient to see God in everything um Swami viand says he who runs away to meditate and die in a Himalayan cave has missed the way he who plunges headlong into the vanities of the world has missed the way if you run away from the world you have missed a way if you plunge into the world you have missed a way then what is the way there are only two Alternatives then Swami G said he says the way is to divinize life is to defy life to see God in everything and everyone you are with all around you here and there srish also used to say the one who sees it here will see it there one who does not see it here will not see it there also so this is what Vish says to ramachandra oh ra you may renounce the word if you want to renounce the word all right renounce but can you show me that the world is other than God it's outside God there's no God here throw away the gold ornament the ornaments then try to find gold you will not because you have not recognized gold if you recognize what is God gold if you recognize what is God then you will find it everywhere then you will not say I have to renounce the word another beautiful story from the yoga Ray I remember this um the two stages of Enlightenment there's a queen and a King the queen was enlightened thei after some days some years of happy happily married Royal life not like Prince har and Megan not like that happily married Royal life and the King asked the Queen the king asked the queen so in our Santa Barbara asham in Southern California so Prince Harry and Megan Mar they live nearby so so as oh I see so celebrities but don't people bother them the M was there yes I often see Harry walking the dogs but no people don't bother them there there's another step a deeper secret and then she shows that what you found in samadhi pure Consciousness Bliss that same reality is in here here all these people this Palace this Administration this these people the problems in the world they are all appearances of that same light is the same screen on which this movie is playing you may withdraw from all of it you may melt down all the ornaments into a shapeless mass of gold or you may let the ornaments remain as ornaments let the necklace remain as a necklace let the ring remain as a ring let the bangle remain as a bangle but you know it is the same Gold Everywhere let the world remain as it is instead of trying to disappear into samadi you engage with the world whether with eyes open or with eyes closed same reality that's a deeper realization s Krishna calls it V after realizing Brahman you see whatever you left behind NY look back you see that is also nothing other than the same Brahman now that is the story s ramakrishna told M you don't have to give up your house your children and all of that and your job you remain here same Brahman everywhere and that story was told by this is the story of visha telling ramchandra you want to give up the kingdom why it's like throwing away the ornaments it's the same gold is in the ornament same God same Brahman is in everything in the Kingdom now s ramakrishna is saying everything has to be renounced here and am is saying what story you told me that story he's giving Krishna story back to him Bish told not to renounce now you're telling me to renounce now s Ram Krishna is modifying that story he's adding footnote a master s Ram Krishna understands what is going on underneath so he smiles he said visha said that to Rama so that Rama May fulfill his destiny that he will remain as the prince of aodha will go and fight with raana you know sitha will be abducted then he will go to rescue SAA and fight with raan and Destroy ra that is the whole mission of the Avatar of ramchandra and that's why Vish told which means actually renunciation of the world is necessary that's why so this is the background that's why you see the next otherwise this next sentence is difficult to understand M stood there like a log stunned and speechless why would what is what is there to remain stunned and speechless because Ram Krishna is stressing that no no no not world and God together God and God alone and world yes but only by seeing God in everything because one may become complient s Krishna has given permission I may do 50% of this and 50% of that balance Swami Ashokan says little nectar in one hand little poison in the other hand one sip of this and one sip of that no yes you can remain in samsara and that is perfectly all right but the point is one must renounce everything internally and I'm holding on to God and God Alone even in samsar also I'm holding on to God Alone to realize God one must internally become the identity should be I am a sadak I am seeking God I want God realization and nothing short of God realization I don't want 50% God realization 50% samsar that's what Krishna is saying whether you are a monk or a householder internal renunciation is necessary for both monk internal and external house so internal externally one is in the middle of the world all right that's why M stood there stunned and speechless so Day Has Come 10:00 and they' have gone back into the room now M ask the next question I want to realize Brahman brahi I I know you you are a devote of maali all that is fine but M was very inclined to adant so isn't there any way of realizing you keep telling me about biti notice even in the yoga story Bish and ramachandra discussion is about realizing Brahman ah brahmi what we were discussing yesterday 13th chapter in there in the durav so M says what about that I want to have that realization and S ramakrishna says it's very difficult and why is it difficult notice he says how much austerity they had to perform they went out of the dwellings from morning till night the Ries performed austerities and meditation they he say they at a little supper of fruit and roots that means very auster life why what were they doing what is exactly the sad they were doing and why is it so difficult and how is it connected to ad vant he explains you see you cannot succeed in this if the mind is stained with worldliness even in the slightest degree the Mind must withdraw totally from its objects of form taste smell touch and sound only thus does it become pure see the same Consciousness you are Brahman you are Consciousness but through the medium of the mind it flows out through thoughts even thoughts are not problematic but the thoughts again flow out through the Five Doors of the five senses and contact the word people and objects and activities and problems and Temptations and anxieties and then Brahman is hidden you are that but it's hidden Now hidden by what by the the thoughts of the Mind by the sense perceptions and by the world so this is this is shining so brightly that we don't realize what's behind it all that Brahman is there God is there all the time and it's our own reality but then what do you have to do to empty the mind of worldliness so this emptying the mind of worldliness it Sayes all this austerity complete complete simplified life and turning inwards in meditation then he says pure mind is the same as pure Atman so mind pure mind means the Mind withdrawn from the senses withdrawn from the world the Mind withdrawn from the senses and then the Mind still that is pure mind mind without V pure mind is the same as pure is equal to samadi mind will become absorbed in samadi but such a mind must be altogether free from lust and gold only when it becomes pure then one has the experience of God God Alone is the doer this body mind even this individuality is the instrument this becomes clear then he to tells the story of that monk who was beaten and then he recovers Consciousness somebody's feeding him milk so they try to see does he has concussion or not are do you recognize who is feeding you milk yes the one who beat me is feeding the same one who feeding me milk so they'll think that he surely has concussion no he has he become enlightened so he he knows that it is the same reality everywhere and M says yes yes I know it I heard the story and see again s Ram Krishna corrects not enough to know it see your question is I want to realize I am Brahman and here is a serious mistake see the the obstacle is I read the book I do the analysis and I understand it and I feel I have known it then the sign that such a problem has come is people will ask I have understood everything Swami then what do I do next what do I do next means you have not understood it yet that's what s Krishna says it's not enough to know it one must assimilate its meaning another place says the words in vant are good the discussion was about ad vant words are good they're true but one must assimilate it it is not for nothing that so many sadakas do so much tapasia if there were such a straight cut we say shortcut direct path you are Brahman here realize it if it was so easy then why would the fools that they did so much it is necessary necessary in order to be stabilized in that but even before becoming stabilized one may get a glimpse Glimpse is possible not only Glimpse even Samad is possible long before that s Ram Krishna says there is another kind of samadhi called un Shadi one attains it by suddenly Gathering the dispersed mind here we are there is a process it can one can guide others to it one I did a like a private retreat and we did a exercise V class slow slowly and then after that [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh
