Nothing is Shiva, but Shiva is not Nothing - - -

Divine Message of His Holiness Shri Datta Swami

 

The atheist says that God does not exist. For him God is nothing i.e., vacant

space. This is the first stage. When he sees miracles he becomes the believer

in God. He accepts God as some power or energy. The power or energy is also

formless, like vacant space. So the concept of God is near to his previous

concept and thus the atheist (Scientist) accepts the formless (Nirakara) God

very easily. The third stage is God with form (Sakara). In this stage statues

in the human form are introduced. The training is given to do the sixteen

upacharas (services) to these statues in human form. This training indicates

that they have to worship the God in human form in this way. The sixteen

upacharas are actually related to the human form only. For eg: the first

upachara ‘Aavahanam’ means invitation corresponds to the human being only and

not to inert statue. The statue in the temple is better than the statue in your

house.

 

Why? Because in the temple the ‘Pranaprathista’ i.e., initiation of life is

done to the statue. This again indicates that you have to worship the statue

with life. The concept is the inert statue plus life is equal to human being.

Therefore in the temple the statue indicates that you have to worship the statue

with life i.e., the human form of God only. Like this you are slowly trained to

worship the human form of the God by the sixteen upacharas. In this training

when your egoism and jealousy is completely destroyed now the human form of the

God is introduced. Unless your egoism and jealousy are completely destroyed you

cannot accept the human form directly. So the worship of the inert statue in

the human form introduces the concept of human form, then the initiation of life

(Prana pratishta) introduces the concept of living human form. Thus this is a

gradual transformation of you by reducing your egoism and jealousy. When your

egoism and jealousy are completely removed,

the final human form of God is introduced. Only a particular man like Lord

Krishna is God. This is Advaita philosophy, which is extended to every man due

to the same jealousy and egoism. If every man is God, nobody requires

salvation.

 

Like this when you are travelling from vacant space to formless energy or

power then you are accepting the human form but without life which is a statue

in your house. In the same stage you are accepting the statue plus life in the

temple, which means only a living human form. Finally you are catching the God

in the present living human form. Whatever I preached here is having the best

practical proof. Hanuman, the greatest of the human beings in this world

worshipped Rama only who was a living human being in his time. He did not go

down i.e.; he never meditated upon the formless God or the statues. In Valmiki

Ramayana such things are not mentioned. He never worshipped even previous human

incarnations like ‘Vamana’. He worshipped only the human incarnation present in

his generation.

 

Similarly Radha never worshipped ‘Rama’ but worshipped only Krishna who was

the human incarnation of her generation. As per Bhagavatham Radha also never

worshipped the statues or the formless God. Hanuman became Brahma and Radha

became the queen of the 15th World ‘Goloka’. No body in this world will attain

a better position than these two. So your spiritual journey must end in

recognizing the human incarnation of God present in your generation. God is

impartial and so He comes down in human form in every generation. If you say

Lord Krishna is only the latest incarnation, then that generation was blessed

and God became partial. Therefore God is coming in human form in every human

generation. People are not recognizing Him because after the incarnation of

Krishna the egoism and jealousy are growing continuously in all the human

beings. The man did not recognize the God coming in human form after Krishna.

After Krishna and before ‘Kalki’ is ‘Kaliyuga’. Due to the influence

of the ‘Kali’ people are full of egoism and jealousy and so they cannot

recognize the human form of God in ‘Kaliyuga’.

 

God comes in different human forms in the same time in various levels for the

sake of devotees in various levels. He comes as a schoolteacher for the school

students, as a lecturer for the college students and as a Professor for the post

graduate students. Since the school students and college students are large in

number he comes down as a number of schoolteachers and college lecturers. Such

incarnations are called as ‘Amsavataras’, which mean the incarnations of a small

portion of His power. The incarnation of His radiation is called ‘Kalavatara’

which is the formless God like light worshipped by some believers. The light

travels as waves and the Siva Linga in the temple represents this formless God.

Since the Post graduation students are less in number only one professor comes

down and He is the ‘Pari poorna tamavathara’ i.e., the most complete

incarnation, which reveals the final true knowledge. He is called ‘Satguru’ or

the original Datta in the human form.

 

Datta exists in two forms. 1) The three headed form. 2) One headed form.

The three headed form indicates ‘Para brahma’ (God) who creates, rules and

destroys the Universe by His three faces. The other single headed form is the

external human form in which the three-headed form exists as the internal form,

which is not seen. This is the essence of the ‘Eka Mukha Datta’ (One headed

from) and ‘Trimukha Datta’ (The three headed form). Therefore the

Schoolteacher shows miracles and converts the atheist into theist. The college

lecturer trains the theists in the worship of the statues having human form to

remove ego and jealousy in the man and make him a devotee. The last university

professor gives the final true knowledge that God comes down in human form only

and that He (the professor) Himself is God.
