It comes into practical experience. Sir, Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity. Right. Was gravity there before him or not? So? So all of them. Isaac Newton discovered it. He attained that thought, that this is what happens to me. He even wrote the formula that this much gravity occurs. No, all of them. So that thought was flowing in this creation, it was doing its work. That thought was doing its work, but it wasn't coming into anyone's hands. Even if someone sees it working, experiences all the results, it still doesn't come into anyone's hands. Then Isaac Newton was sitting, and an apple fell, and then he thought about it. A light went on, and he grasped that thought. He grasped it and spread it throughout the world. Similarly, thoughts are already flowing from the shastras. This thought of yoga, God said, is Vedic Vedic From the Veds. Tap to open in glossary → In the Gita, God spoke of yoga from the Upanishads. 'Sarvopanishado gavo dogdha gopalanandanah. Partho vatsa sudhir bhokta dugdham gitamritam maha.' God milked the nectar by making the Upanishads the cows. A calf is needed for the cow to release milk, so a calf was kept nearby. Arjuna was made the calf, and the Upanishads were made the cows, and the milk of the Gita was milked and given to everyone. But it doesn't come into everyone's hands. If they are slapping elsewhere, then others slap elsewhere, so it doesn't come into their hands, doesn't come into their mouth. Does everyone get cow's milk? Only the calf gets it. Otherwise, even if you slap the udder, it won't come. The cow releases milk when it sees the calf. So then they call the calf and tie it separately, so they can milk the cow quickly. Otherwise, the calf steals the milk. If a cow's calf is small, it might die. Somewhere there's a disease and the calf died. Or there's a disease and the calf died. Then the cow won't let much milk be drawn. Then the cow won't let much milk be drawn. After a little while, it will bellow. After a little while, it will bellow. It won't let much milk be drawn. It won't let much milk be drawn. Why is a calf needed? Why is a calf needed? The cow releases a flow of milk for the calf. The cow releases a flow of milk for the calf. There are such great souls. There are such great souls. Seeing them, God is the thought. Seeing them, God is the thought. So their role model, calf means role model. So their role, calf means role model. To attain that thought, a role model is also needed. To attain that thought, a role model is also needed. Like, what is nishkam seva bhav? What is nishkam seva bhav? So Gopalnand Swami and Gunatitanand Swami should be made calves. So Gopalnand Swami and Gunatitanand Swami should be made calves. God has done the milking of the shastras, this milking in the form of the Vachanamrut. And He has given milk. And He has given milk. But if you try to drink milk just like that, you won't get it. Keep the calf with you. But if you try to drink milk just like that, you won't get it. Keep the calf with you. Keep the role model with you. Keep the role model with you. Whether it's Narayan Das Swami or Gunatitanand Swami, Balmukund Swami, Shastriji Maharaj, they drank milk by becoming calves. If we try to butt our heads, we won't drink. If we try to butt our heads, we won't drink. So by keeping the calf in front, the owner of the cow keeps the calf in front. So by keeping the calf in front, the owner of the cow keeps the calf in front. Even when milking, they deceive the cow by tying the calf in front of its mouth, so that's deceiving the cow, isn't it? God is not one to be deceived like that. God is not one to be deceived like that. So by making a calf, He gave milk. This yoga is a flow. This yoga is a flow.
