God resides as the support of the senses, deities, inner self, and the jiva, of all of them. That which is a support cannot be formless. That which is a support cannot be formless. Suppose there is light, which is supported by this tubelight, then even if the light is formless, its support, which is that tube, must have a form. Even if the light of any sun is formless, the sun is its support, so the support cannot be formless, that is what is meant. God resides as the support of the senses, deities, inner self, and the jiva, of all of them. That Shri Krishna Krishna 1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd. This is considered to be a greater avatãr than the others, as Shree Krishna possessed all of the powers of Bhagvãn, whereas other avatãrs possessed less power. Shree Krishna conveyed the message of love and humanity to the world. Also, He recited the epic poem, the Bhagvad Geetã, to Arjun in which He stated: ‘Whenever dharma declines and adharma increases, I shall incarnate myself as a human to save the holy, to destroy the sin of the sinner, and to establish dharma. I come into being from yug to yug’. 2) In the Vachanãmrut, Shreeji Mahãrãj also uses the name “Shree Krishna” to describe Bhagvãn Purushottam Nãrãyan. Tap to open in glossary → Bhagwan sent a message to the Gopis through Uddhav that, I reside near you as the support of the senses, inner self, deities, and the jiva. Just as the five great elements reside in the universe and their light resides in everyone's body, similarly, my residing here in Mathura is like the great elements residing specifically in the universe. And just as those elements reside generally in the bodies of jivas, I reside near you. And my not being visible is so that the thoughts of your mind may be focused on me, but I reside with a form. Then Nityanand Swami asked, "O Maharaj!

He pervades everyone. For example, if we go to get some permission in the revenue department, there is an M.A.O. or someone, right? The M.R.O. stamps it in the revenue department. In Gujarat, we have a Talati who stamps it. What is written on the stamp? Government of India. Government of India. It is written like that. If the Talati stamps it, it says Government of India. So the authority of the Talati is based on the district officer, the taluka officer. The authority of the taluka officer is based on the district collector. The authority of the collector is based on the governor. The authority of the governor is based on the president. So here, when this Talati stamped it, whose authority should be considered? Does the work happen by the authority of the Talati or by the authority of the T.D.O.? Or does the work happen by the authority of the D.C.? Or did the work happen by the authority of the governor, or whose authority is it said to be? The governor's. The president's. Then what about the Talati? So what about the Talati? Just to stamp, that's all. Does it work like that? What if he didn't stamp it? So Maharaj says, whoever it may be, whose authority is it? It is of the Government of India. Whether it is Purush Purush 1) An akshar-mukta selected by Akshar-Brahm to ‘impregnate’ Prakruti for the creation process, from which countless pairs of Pradhãn and Purush are formed for the creation and sustenance of each brahmãnd. 2) Purush half of the Pradhãn-Purush pair, ‘conceived’ by Mul-Purush and Mul-Prakruti for the creation and sustenance of each brahmãnd. 3) Taken to be masculine in nature, Purush is the controller of Prakruti, and is also distinct from her.

But who is ultimately there? Paramatma Himself. The authority of the Government of India operates there. No matter who the person is. The work is done by the Government of India. So here, currently, the Government of India has become formless. But in the old days when there was monarchy, there was a king, so the ministers worked by the authority of the king. And when there were village Patels, there was all that, right? The soldiers also worked by the authority of the king. When he stamps it, it means the king has signed it. So the king, if the king withdraws authority from everyone, it is gone. Even if others do the work, but ultimately the authority belongs to the king. Similarly, ultimately the authority belongs to Narayan.

Just as everyone's authority is of the same nature, that of the Government of India. Whether it is the authority of the collector, the governor, the president, or the Talati. All that authority is of the same nature, identical. And it is in the form of an order to everyone, that once this order is given, it is done. Everyone's authority is of one form. Similarly, it is the same in all avatars. There are small and big avatars, those avatars are by that other's authority. So Gunatitanand Swami said that the king and the king's worker, one should understand such a difference, the king and the king's worker. The arrow and the shooter of the arrow, similarly understand the difference in it. So there is a difference, and if there is a complete difference, then there would be no separate meaning, it would become meaningless. So there is non-difference and there is also difference. Therefore, never criticize the avatars. By criticizing the avatars, the original source is criticized. Yet, Maharaj says do not consider them equal, do not consider this one like that other one. The Talati has the authority of the Government of India, but the Talati does not become the collector. And to consider the Talati and the collector as one is said to be treason against the collector. Even if the authority is of the same nature. And if one criticizes, it is criticism of the Government of India. And if caught, he would be in trouble. The light of the jiva, Purush Purush 1) An akshar-mukta selected by Akshar-Brahm to ‘impregnate’ Prakruti for the creation process, from which countless pairs of Pradhãn and Purush are formed for the creation and sustenance of each brahmãnd. 2) Purush half of the Pradhãn-Purush pair, ‘conceived’ by Mul-Purush and Mul-Prakruti for the creation and sustenance of each brahmãnd. 3) Taken to be masculine in nature, Purush is the controller of Prakruti, and is also distinct from her.

Therefore, no one is capable of distinguishing their light. And the difference is indeed immense. In that too, in a subtle form, it is the authority of Paramatma that leads them. The authority of Paramatma operates, and by that authority, his work is done. If he separates from that authority, he becomes like a washed radish. Then whether he is a governor or a president, once he steps down from the president's chair, he becomes a common citizen. Then nothing else remains in him, nothing special. He has stepped down from the post of president, and here if the Talati is on his post, the Talati's authority is more than his, that other one cannot sign anywhere. Then to maintain respect for him is a different matter for all people, but nothing works by his signature, whereas by the Talati's signature, it works in his village. So once he goes out of that leading authority, then he is nothing. And if he remains in His authority, then He Himself does the work, whoever may be doing it, but it is said that God Himself does it. So the difference is immense, but no one is capable of seeing it. If a 1000-watt mercury bulb is lit here, and another 100-watt bulb is lit, both are lit together. Then you sit with your eyes closed. Then someone comes and turns off the 100-watt bulb. So with closed eyes, would you know? Huh? Have you ever experimented? One would know. One would know that one has been turned off. So it was turned off, and that other one is on, and it was turned off, which means both have similar light, both are together, yet they are distinct. That is felt. Similarly, the light of all of these is distinct, and otherwise all are similar, so no one is capable of distinguishing them. If God shows mercy, then that difference is determined, that this is the light of Purush Purush 1) An akshar-mukta selected by Akshar-Brahm to ‘impregnate’ Prakruti for the creation process, from which countless pairs of Pradhãn and Purush are formed for the creation and sustenance of each brahmãnd. 2) Purush half of the Pradhãn-Purush pair, ‘conceived’ by Mul-Purush and Mul-Prakruti for the creation and sustenance of each brahmãnd. 3) Taken to be masculine in nature, Purush is the controller of Prakruti, and is also distinct from her.

There is a difference in quantity. There is a difference in quantity and quality. There is a difference in both quality and quantity. Then what is the meaning of 'sajatiya'? The meaning of 'sajatiya' is of the same class, to emit light. For example, if two or three bulbs are mentioned here, one of 1000, 100, 25, we use all of them, all are similar, in terms of light, all are identical. Yet they are distinct. And both their quality and quantity are distinct. Even if it is of 25, its area is distinct, and if it is of 100, it lights up a larger area. If it is of 1000, it lights up an even larger area. The area also differs, and its lighting also differs, the quality also differs. Both quality and quantity are different. Yet there is 'sajatiyata', that cannot be denied. It is indeed called 'sajatiyata'. Being 'sajatiya' does not necessarily mean they are identical. The authority of all of these, the governor, president, collector, and Talati, all their authority is said to be 'sajatiya'. What is the 'sajatiyata'? Government of India. Being 'sajatiya' means Government of India. It is not identical. And otherwise also there is a difference. If it is the president, he can save someone who is about to be hanged. That authority is not held by anyone else. So there is also a difference in quality.

Because if he has God's mercy, he can see that difference, whereas others may not see it. For those who do not see it to go and act foolishly is not right. Sometimes they get stuck. "In this way, he sees all of them distinctly and sees their light also as distinct. But no one else is capable of seeing them distinctly. Therefore, that God resides in whichever form He pleases, but He Himself resides." But He Himself resides, so says Maharaj. Actually, in that other one, that was also coming recently.
