The target of all three states, three qualities, and three bodies is one: to make this person miserable in any way. To make this person miserable in any way. Why? Because he has performed such actions in the past. Accordingly, to make him happy or miserable. Mostly to make him miserable. Happiness can barely be achieved. But mostly to make him miserable in any way. If he does not become miserable, then he has transcended it. Even if there is misery, he does not become miserable. A person is miserable due to their beliefs. He is very little miserable due to circumstances. Circumstances were very unfavorable for these infinite saints, yet they were not miserable, were they? They did not consider it as misery. They considered only this much as happiness, that we have been of use in Maharaj's work. Maharaj came to earth this time, and we have been of use in Maharaj's work, so they had that much happiness. Therefore, that is called happiness related to God. It is not called related to the world. Therefore, by examining which instrument, in what manner, helps the jivatma to connect with the objects of the senses in all situations, the state becomes clear. The whole paradigm. The whole paradigm. In a paradigm, there isn't just one thing, right? The whole paradigm. Therefore, it is called a state. Just as there are states of the body, such as sitting, standing, sleeping, or in an alert state, that is a state solely with reference to the body. But in waking, dreaming, and deep sleep, it is not limited to the condition of the body alone. In those states, it is also necessary to examine what the mind or antahkaran is doing. It is also necessary to examine how the soul connects with the objects of the senses. After examining all of that, the name given to the situation is called a state. In this way, the specific arrangement of the ten senses, four antahkarans, jivatma, and objects of the senses is called a state. The three qualities are the cause of it. The qualities are the cause of changing the state. If there is rajogun, and tamogun comes from it, then the state changes. From that, if satvagun comes, then the state changes. All this mechanism is based on past impressions, based on karma karma Action. Deed. Any thought, word, or deed that will sooner or later reap its consequences. Karmas of a person are linked to their rewards (cause and effect). Bhagvãn is the giver of the rewards of the karmas; good deeds reap pleasant rewards, and bad deeds reap painful fruits. Karmas remain with a jeev until it has received its rewards. Tap to open in glossary → The cause of those three qualities is his past karma karma Action. Deed.

Just as a lock has its outer casing made of strong metal, inside, more than one specific type of lever is arranged. By turning the key in the right direction, all the levers are arranged in a different state. By turning the key in the opposite direction, the arrangement of the first levers changes again. Similarly, in place of the levers, there are the senses and antahkaran. In place of the key, there are the three qualities. Through the three qualities, the states of all of them initially prevail differently. The more levers there are, the more levers there are, the stronger the lock is said to be. Another key would not work on it. Another key would not work on it. If many levers are arranged, when there are many levers, barely one key works. Otherwise, another key would work. If there is only one lever, one would know, and immediately the lever would engage. So, what kind of lock did God give? He gave a lock with twenty-four levers. Even when there is the maximum lock, still there aren't so many, as there are limitations. Today, those locks from Dubai and other places come, those strong brass ones. Those locks do not have very many levers. There are not more than eleven, ten or eleven levers. There are only five or six levers. This is big... God put twenty-four levers in this. If even one is slightly misplaced, the lock will not open. What is the key? There is a master key. If there is a master key, it opens everything. So, this is the master key to becoming brahmarup. Which one is it? Which one is the master key? To become brahmarup. The goal. The goal is the master key for all of them. So, if a person becomes goal-oriented, then he has become brahmarup. He has transcended the three states and three qualities. The goal should be one that directly touches Maharaj. It should not be our private one. If we merge our role into Maharaj's goal, then Maharaj's goal becomes that goal. Then he is said to have become brahmarup. Through that state, the master key has worked for him. Beyond those three states, even when he is asleep, he is beyond deep sleep. Because after waking up from his deep sleep, it freshes him and helps him in that goal. So, that deep sleep also helps him, and waking also helps him. But he must be strictly goal-oriented. His mind, his mentality, must be goal-oriented. Then he is called brahmarup. We said, didn't we, that becoming brahmarup cannot be achieved through the body. It is the mentality itself that is brahmarup. The mentality of brahmarup. The great saints like Gopalanand Swami, Gunatitanand Swami, and Muktanand Swami were all brahmarup, but they were so mentally. Their bodies were such that they would get tired and fall ill, all of that was there. Yet, why are they called brahmarup? They felt hunger, hunger and thirst, all of that was there. So, no one becomes brahmarup through the body in the entire realm of prakriti. As long as one is within prakriti, no one becomes brahmarup through the body. One becomes brahmarup mentally. And mentally, even an ordinary jiva can become so. He has to understand Maharaj. By understanding Maharaj, he aligns his goal with Maharaj. So, when we were listening to Swami's discourse, a very nice point came up when I went to Taravada.

They say 'Gangayam Ghoshah' [the hamlet on the Ganges], don't they? That means there is a hut on the Ganges, but a hut cannot be in the flow of the river. So, it means it is on the bank, it has to be placed on the bank. Similarly, there is no possibility for anyone to become brahmarup through the body. One can become a siddha, not brahmarup. What does siddha mean? With this very body, flying in the sky, he goes to other worlds and the afterlife. One. But that is not called brahmarup. Even if he goes to other worlds and the afterlife, he is not called brahmarup. The state of brahmarup is higher than the state of a siddha in other worlds and the afterlife. Even if there is a state of a siddha, they still stumble. In the Harikrishna Charitra Charitra A divine incident of Bhagvãn. Tap to open in glossary → And they had all attained the state of a siddha. Time did not affect them, and they had attained the state of a siddha, they were all like that. They went about without clothes, went about naked. So, Maharaj met all of them and introduced them to God, gave them the realization of God. If one realizes, realizes God, then the state of brahma comes, and if one practices ashtanga yoga, then the state of a siddha comes. If one performs all the spiritual endeavors, then the state of a siddha comes. By realizing Maharaj and merging our role into Maharaj's goal, then the state of brahma comes, the state of brahmarup comes. So, the state of brahmarup is considered far, far greater than the state of a siddha. Even if there is a state of a siddha, after that, Maharaj liberated all of them.
