The illustration given is absolutely proper. Now, the illustration grows in the night. First, we must understand what that illustration says. And then we must understand its principle. What is the illustration? God has given this analogy, He has given an analogy. Though there is a slight difference between the figure of speech of illustration and analogy. But if an analogy is given, what should I understand from it, Maharaj? Understand God's form like the illusion of an actor. So, 'like' and 'as' are all words of analogy, aren't they? In that, who is the object of comparison and who is the subject of comparison? The object of comparison is God, the object of comparison is the actor. What did you say? Tell me. Who is the object of comparison and who is the subject of comparison? The object of comparison... The object of comparison and the subject of comparison. What do you say? Who is the object of comparison? If we twist it a bit, it gets confusing, doesn't it? Who is the object of comparison and who is the subject of comparison? Tell me. The actor? What is the use of the actor's illusion? The actor is the object of comparison. And the subject of comparison is... So, is the subject of comparison greater or the object of comparison greater? Huh? What analogy is given to King Dilip, who is compared? Which is one of the analogies? Like the ocean of milk. Just as the moon was born from the ocean of milk, so Dilip was born in the Raghu dynasty. So, who is greater? Huh? In that, it is so. In this, the actor is the object of comparison. And Maharaj is the subject of comparison. So, who is greater? Is the actor greater or Maharaj greater? Then? Still, the subject of comparison is greater. What, brother? By the maxim of the branch and the moon. No, no, who is greater? That is what I want to say. So, this is to explain Maharaj. His actions are to be explained. And because no one understands them, therefore. The actor's actions are understood, but Maharaj's actions are not understood. So, Maharaj's actions appear small, and the actor's actions appear great. The actor's actions appear wonderful, but Maharaj's actions do not appear wonderful. So, Maharaj said that by giving this analogy, this is just like that. It is even beyond that, but because people cannot see it, therefore. Is there wonder in the actor's actions or in Maharaj's actions? Then to whom, to whom is it visible? So, Maharaj has said this just to show. Maharaj's actions are far more wonderful than the actor's actions. Extremely detached and extremely, it is said to be like the sun and darkness. If the sun wants to see darkness, it can never see it; it would never have seen it in its life. Similarly, God, God has never seen maya-ridden actions in His life. He has never seen maya itself. God has never seen what maya is like. And God has never seen maya-ridden actions. Wherever He goes, it becomes divine. Damayanti had a boon, didn't she? That if she touched something, it would turn into gold. So, she touched the fish—there is a long story about it—she touched the fish when King Nala brought two fish when they were starving. So, he told Damayanti to keep them, and when she touched them, they turned into gold. What to eat then? So, God has never seen maya-ridden actions in His life. If one believes this, then one is said to have firm conviction. That is called 'dhamna svena sada nirastakuhakam yatra trisargo mrusha', those two verses of Maharaj. When the actor is cut into pieces, and his wife burns herself with him, and then the actor returns, what about the one who burned to death earlier? In reality, he did not burn to death at all. As Maharaj says, what is the form of God like? It is 'yatra trisargo mrusha', in which there is no part of maya at all. Such elements, senses, inner faculties, and deities do not exist in the three periods of time. Then, when the Supreme Soul manifests in human form, how should we understand what is visible? He falls ill, fears, runs away, acts with possessiveness, fights, and even kills others—how should we understand all this? Well, all such things were visible in the actor too. He died, even burned, and returned right then in a way no one could perceive. How can anyone's intellect comprehend that? Similarly, if all this appears in God, there could be two reasons. God is a great player, Maharaj, that is why He is called an actor. What is the meaning of an actor? An actor means a performer. Actually, he is called a folk drama performer. So, he shows all that, he shows everything on stage. God, God is an even greater actor than that; He does not let anyone know anything. Similarly, the Vedas, scriptures, and those who know the Supreme Soul as He is, say 'yatra trisargo mrusha'—that in the Supreme Soul, there is no creation of maya at all. There is no creation of maya at all, so then we must investigate why it appears. It is not in God now, nor is there any possibility of it ever being there in the future. That is why Maharaj wrote that it does not exist in the three periods of time. 'Yatra trisargo mrusha' means it is not that it exists now and not then; it does not exist in the three periods of time, ever. Furthermore, 'dhamna svena sada nirastakuhakam satyam param dhimahi'—the Supreme Soul is the supreme truth who, by His own abode, His own divine form, has dispelled the deception of maya. Therefore, just as God's form in Akshardham at the end of the ultimate dissolution is extremely pure and filled with infinite majesty, one should know the manifest human form of God to be exactly the same. By this, one is said to have known God in essence. Two or three adjectives have been placed. 'Yo mayaya santatayanuvrttya bhajet tatpadasarojagandham'. 'Saved dhatuh padavim parasya'. 'Yo amayaya santatayanuvrttya padasarojagandham bhajet'. What does 'amayaya' mean? With a guileless state of mind. 'Amayaya' does not mean without maya. Worships God becoming guileless. And what does 'santataya' mean? Worships for the whole life. And 'anuvrttya'? Conforms to God's wishes. Not in a way that God feels, 'Where did this whirlwind come from?' God might feel that now He has to be careful, or will it blow Him away? Some attendants are like whirlwinds, aren't they? Running around in circles, so they are like whirlwinds, aren't they? 'Yo mayaya santatayanuvrttya' like that. AI translation of the Gujarati transcript above, produced in the same pass that transcribed the audio, one English segment per Gujarati segment.
