I am distinct from this. One should negate all of them. One should negate all three bodies. Distinct from the three bodies. One should negate the three bodies. One should believe the three bodies to be distinct from oneself. First, one believes the physical body to be distinct. And the feelings of the physical body are very... One suppresses them, then the subtle body, and then the causal body. Suppressing one's emotions is called the causal body. Emotion. One suppresses it. We felt some emotion.

The original form of the jivatma, does it have emotion or only knowledge? It is cognitive. Knowledge and emotion are not distinct. Knowledge and emotion, emotion is a form of knowledge. Emotion is knowledge's just a form. Knowledge is arranged in many forms. Likewise, it is arranged in the form of emotion.

That same knowledge gets converted into emotion. If it is correct. And otherwise, if it is wrong, it gets converted into negative emotion. Knowledge remains the same. When do I feel a dislike for you? When? It comes when wrong knowledge keeps churning, right? When a proper dislike is to come, it doesn't come at first, then it keeps churning, churning, churning, and then it reaches the throat. Then, if we separate from this, it feels like, 'shoo, shoo, shoo'. And if one gets the correct emotion, then? It feels like, 'wonderful, wonderful, wonderful'. So emotion is a form of knowledge. That is, knowledge gets converted into emotion.

The gopis associated with 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.

When there is intensity, emotion is created in it. That is why Maharaj said that towards God, the atma, the Paramatma, one's... one should apply intensity to that knowledge. So if one applies intensity, immediately emotion arises towards God. And when emotion arises, that is called bhakti bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma.

To Kashi, that too if he remembers it while dying. And if one covers a distance of 20-20 miles, then he reaches Kashi in a few days. Likewise, there must be intensity. In the action of devotion to God, there should not be dullness, but there should be intensity. There should be hunger, demand, a burning desire. That is what it is called. A burning desire.

Intensity... if we start running, clench our fists, then immediately it starts to develop. Was intensity developed or not? We can develop intensity, right? Today, you did 10 circumambulations, and tomorrow you do 20 circumambulations and keep the same time, then? What? Then you have to increase intensity. The work is the same, the time is the same, and if you want to do a larger quantity, then you have to increase intensity. Come on, you all do it with everyone else. You are translating this Vachanamrut; if you do one Vachanamrut a week, and instead you want to do two Vachanamruts a week, then you have to double your intensity. Intensity bounds time, so intensity occurs. And the quantity is also more, and it bounds time. So intensity occurs. And when that intensity occurs, if it is a conscious intensity, and if it is the intensity of this world... if it is the intensity of the world, the nature of intensity is such that wherever there is intensity, it creates attachment. Wherever intensity occurs, towards whatever intensity is directed, it creates attachment there. So if intensity is directed towards God, then one gets attachment to God. The gopis had done it...
