Vasudeva Sarvam (All is not God)

July 26, 2006

Shree HariRam Ram1) How is one not to see the inert world (sansaar) and only seeGod? Does Gita say anything more specific than in Gita 7:19? Become a Trustee and do the actions by experiencing yourself as soul not body. When you think yourself as body all bodily relations comes to the mind. But if we consider ourselves as soul, then we naturally remember God in all our actions.2) On one hand Swamiji says "We are only God's and only God isours," and at other times He says "Everything

is God" (All is God).Which one should we believe and follow? It is confusing, becausethe bhava for each is different. God is our Father and we are only God’s and only God is ours. When it is said All is God, it is we should remember God even when we are involved in our daily activities. Our mind should be all God and see everything as God given things and we should act as a Trustee for God.3) "We are part of God... " is mentioned in Gita 15:7, where else isthis theme most predominant elsewhere in the Gita? We are equal to God in His qualities like Knowledge, Purity, Peace, Love, Happiness, Powers (to face, judge, accommodate,packup, cooperate,withdraw, tolerate and judge) and Bliss4) Many times (rather majority of the times) I am unable to see God(Vasudev) in those around me. Most times I see the situations,events, things, people in this world as 'DUKKHAALAI" (filled withsorrow). If that is the case, should I forget about Vasudeva Sarvambhava? This world is really a dukhaalai , in other words, this world at present , is called Hell which will be followed by Heaven like Night is followed by Day.Now it is the time to become soul consciousness and remember God so

that our mind gets purified to become suitable to live in Heaven. 5) How do we know which sadhana is right for us? If one is notinclined towards the world and mostly inclined towards God.. then inthe Bhakti marg (path of devotion) which bhava is recommended? Now it is the time that God has come to give the Fruit of Bhakthi to the Bhaktas. The fruit of Bhakthi is Gyaan – Knowledge. Now, the recommended bhava is “Manmanabhav’ – “Madhyajibhav” - Consider yourself

as a soul and remember God.4) Whatever form God comes to us in, Swamiji has said that one wayto see Him is as shaakshaat Vasudeva (God)? It this reallypossible? Will it ever be possible? How is it possible? It seemslike He comes more often in forms that are not so pleasant(sickness, fighting, arguing, selfishness, self-centeredness, givingpain, sorrow, laziness, inconsideration, not helping, causingfrustration. At times it is an overwhelming feeling that is neverending and it goes on and on and on...) All the situatations are only to make us feel our strength. This world is a Drama and everyone is playing their role according to the Drama. We do not get

affected by the Villain of any movie. Likewise if we see this World Drama being an observer, we will not be affected by it. If we are able to stabilize in our soul consciousness, we will not be affected by any type of situations of the World. We have to feel ourself as soul and see others also as soul and when we are in soul consciousness, naturally we are also in God’s remembrance.OH PLEASE HELP!!!A sadhakRam Ram
