in hinders and there's many gods many sects such as shaivism and Vaishnavi ISM how can you really
know what the true path is look suppose you a - a white can you love Shiva of course I like
she watch from endlessly he's such a easy chap to please your love Shiva what are not we know
love Shiva so we are attracted to Shiva and then of course when you look at the image of
Vishnu and you could measure by sitting here and if I say anything less than the highest at
regard to this great Godhead collisional he will get really annoyed with me so my chocolate cakes
will disappear straightaway they will disappear anyway but you see so you might believe in Shiva
is the ultimate reality ultimate principle taking on a form or you might believe in the ultimate
reality as Vishnu and we love it Vishnu now in a way does it mean that God is either Shiva or
Vishnu no it is really reflecting you you see when you look at the idea of God the concept
of God when you try and understand the concept of God do you know what you actually see you see your
own reflection is a you reflection you see so a person who is automatically drawn to sheer eyes
in a way revealing his own character a person drawn to Vishnu is revealing his own character
this is the way he likes to perceive God see God and build relationship with God so in a way we
are not really he's not God who is different we are different so we in a way put on our goggles
and sometimes the goals are very wide goggles and we serve fish my wish - I love you sometimes the
goals are shared as a Shiva where are you he said I am yourself don't you see shivoham shivoham I'm
you so depending on your own temperament you will project God in that faith you say but what is it
go truly come on surely so get out for once and for is it Vishnu Shiva and I've done this
story before but I'll do it again because it's going to be fun the story is this there was one
person who is a great devotee of Vishnu and he hated Shiva so you see he is so fun of formally
linked up with the idea of Vishnu that if anybody mentioned the word Shiva he gets really angry so
don't mention it only vishnu and so people found out in the neighborhood this person doesn't like
the word Shiva so do you know what they will do straightaway they'll deliberately pass by his
house and shout Shiva Shiva Shiva all the time and keep upsetting him so you'd come running out
with a club saying how dare you in chase after them and the children love this this is great
fun for everyday activity so the poor guys always been taunted with the word Shiva and kids running
out with a club and everything's great who I and fun going on but in the heavens Vishnu and Shiva
got together said now how do we solve this guy out because he has not understood the message
of pluralism he has not seen the hasta programs so how do we sort this guy out that there is the
same God we you differently Vishnu and Shiva how do we sort him out Cimino a trick tomorrow when
he is worshipping the image of Vishnu maybe we'll do some magic so this is the magic that it is this
Vishnu and Shiva getting together and things will sort out our devotee because this guy's
cannot completely one-sided so when this guy was tinkling you know feeling and worshipping Vishnu
suddenly he saw that the image of Vishnu half of Vishnu was Vishnu and other half of Shiva so the
same Godhead half was Vishnu half of Shiva and he was puzzled he said I like this Vishnu part
but what is the Shiva I'll go doing here he's not supposed to be here I've been worshipping Vishnu
what is half this she was doing here so what he did is straight away the pressure he had offered
you know in front of the deity he deliberately pushed it towards Vishnu side for you not for
this fellow so he pushed the pressure towards Vishnu and Vishnu and Shiva in like this combined
form we're getting quite you know worried what is this fellow doing now he's pushing the process of
one side he didn't stop there there was an incense stick there was nicely no giving our nice scented
smoke coming out with incense stick and of course this guy was his devotee is watching where does
the smoke end up you know going the nose trills and one side of most it was Vishnu one side was
Shiva he said this won't do he jumped up and put his finger ass finger up she was most to say you
is not for you and Vishnu and she was smiled and said oh dear we'll never win with this job he has
not understood realism pluralism the sweet word the nectar like word same ultimate reality many
big manifesting itself differently to suit your needs my boy your needs so this great
super personality's ground gracious principle the cobraman takes on the form of your choice if you
want this ground personality to take on a form and play with you and he said I won't wish new he's so
gracious this principle is so gracious look it's not important it's not kind of you know aloof it
is very much linked up with humanity if you really have this love pouring out of you saying I won't
wish no what can you do or become Vishnu and come and stand in front of you not half Shiva
or Vishnu come and stand introducer Here I am my boy so he's my master Ramakrishna you see because
this idea was under attack in medieval India in India 100 years back this idea that God with form
is acceptable because there was a no-no what with form is not acceptable you to become like
the Abrahamic religions they were about to abandon this so this mentor of mine this Ramakrishna will
all solve this thing out he said I am going to bring this formless principle this great thinker
from man I'm going to turn this great for this this great principle into the sweetest form you
can imagine not even Vishnu not even Shiva mother mother she brought down this grave super personal
super principle into the personality of his sweet mother the divine mother to play with him
to dance with him to correct humour with him can you imagine playing with God dancing and singing
and cracking humor jokes with God taking on a form and playing with you so this is the answer
the ultimate reality is so gracious whatever form you wish to impose on it it will take on that form
for your benefit it'll come and play with you and when it comes it is not artificial it is not fuzzy
and just means your imagination nothing of the sort when this principle takes a form and comes
in front of you you will know your all your hair will stand up you will know what is he what you
are hit with this thing has come in front of you much more real much more intensely experience than
you experiencing me or seeing me it can be seen in much more clearer way much more intensely than you
seeing me you seeing me is fuzzy that is not fuzzy because that is your load standing in front of you
and it's not fuzzy they will make you set up light up this is what religious experience is all about
