﻿The moment you bring in this idea of status that, “I am so and so..”,
that destroys sat-chit-anand and without this bliss aspect, I don't think anybody
can move forward in Spirituality.
So far, in this chapter, Lalaji has been talking about the
beginning of vedas and etc. He is specifically emphasizing on shruti and smriti.
He has now brought up another aspect of udgeet, besides shruti and smriti.
He breaks this word down, udgeet, and explains that
it is all about higher realms. The songs reaching the higher realms.
Somewhere, Lord Krishna says in Gita,
I think, in chapter 9, verse 18, “I am the
beginning, the middle, and also the end of all.”
That “I am the beginning, the middle and the end of all things,
their seed of Eternity, their treasure Supreme“.
So when we read all these things, many philosophers, and even Lalaji Maharaj here,
they say….
When we see all these things Brahma,Vishnu and Mahesh or the creation, maintenance, and dissolution,
in all this, when we deeply penetrate into this aspect, we have this very whimsical thought,
emotional thought, but if it is perceived truly, then you will see that Guru is three-in-one.
He can be Brahma, the creator of newer and newer conditions,
one who helps maintain those conditions,
and one who removes the grossness, removes the ignorance, removes the darkness, the destroyer.
So in that sense, when we look at this particular AUM, Guru represents that.
Here, in this scenario,
what Lalaji Maharaj really means, is not “heard”. When he says , if it is heard systematically, he
does not mean auditory hearing
It is the perception in your heart.
AUM (om) is taken as the ultimate vibration.
Pranahuti matches that equally. Both are the same.
Now, he suddenly moved on to the next topic, sat chit anand, where
A is compared with Sat,U is compared with Chit and M is compared with Anand.
So what is this singing
and hearing in a group satsangh or individually, when we are sitting,
receiving these vibrations…..
It is because of wrong identification, I think, either with the body or with their intelligence,
or with their own identification of themselves.
For example, “I am a doctor, I am an engineer. I am such and such in society.”
So it is a great importance, that during satsangh at least, we should
not identify ourselves with bodies, our statuses and our intelligence.
The moment you bring in this idea of status, “I am so and so”,
that destroys sat-chit-anand
and without this bliss aspect, I don't think anybody can move forward in Spirituality.
In my childhood and for most of my college days, I always thought that we have four vedas
until I read ‘Truth Eternal’ in my pharmacy days. Then I
realized,”oh, how come Lalaji Maharaj is saying there are only three vedas and not four?”
But then when you go through the Gita, especially this sloka 17 from the ninth chapter says,
“I am the father of this Universe.” Lord Krishna says, “I am the father of this Universe,
and even the source of father. I'm the mother of this Universe.
And the creator of all. I am the highest to be known, the path of purification, the holy OM,
the three vedas.” So here, He specifically says, “There are only three vedas.”
And Lalaji Maharaj gives the reason
